The hospital was a crowded place. Even though it was already 5:00 pm, the human traffic going to and fro was very high.
Zhu looked at the time. “Why isn’t the peerless doctor here yet?”
“Calm down. If the doctor is good, there is no harm in waiting,” said Song Qi calmly without the slightest impatience.
Song Qi was carrying a designer purse in her hand with her face exquisitely made up. She was clearly a rich lady from high society. She kept looking outside the door hoping to find the peerless doctor.
Zhu nodded. He raised his head and looked outside as well. Before long, he saw a familiar face and briefly froze. After composing himself, he quickly said to Song Qi softly, “Madam, it’s her.”
Song Qi did not get what he meant. She looked at him quizzically and glanced in the same direction where he was looking. “Who are you talking about?”
“That is Miss Huo,” explained Zhu hurriedly.
Song Qi narrowed her eyes and saw a girl coming over.
The girl was tall and slender. She also gave off a dignified elegant aura. Her face was particularly beautiful and resembled Song Ning a lot.
It was Song Qi’s first time seeing Huo Yao in person. Huo Yao was not what she had expected at all.
She did not seem like she was from the countryside. Instead, she looked like a well brought up young woman from a rich family.
“I have asked Miss Huo out several times, but she refused to see us. I didn’t expect to bump into her at the hospital. This is such a coincidence,” muttered Zhu.
The moment Song Qi heard what Zhu said, she snapped out of her thoughts. Song Qi thought about how she had been trying to meet Huo Yao, but the girl always stood her up. A cold look promptly emerged in Song Qi’s eyes.
Song Qi did not have the time to think about Huo Yao recently, owing to her father’s condition. Now that Huo Yao had shown up in front of her, she looked at Zhu sideways and said, “Stop her.”
Zhu just knew Song Qi would say this. He acknowledged Song Qi before walking toward Huo Yao.
Since the doctor was not here yet, there was no harm in handling this first.
Song Qi stood where she was with a cold look on her face.

Huo Yao watched as Zhu walked over and stopped her. She promptly halted. Thanks to her perfect memory, she remembered that Zhu was the same man who came looking for her on campus two months ago.
He was from the Song family.
Huo Yao raised her brow.
“Miss Huo, it is such a coincidence to see you here. Your aunt wants to talk to you.” Zhu pointed at Song Qi standing nearby as he spoke. Despite the courteous tone of voice, it was clear from his attitude he was not going to take no for an answer.
Huo Yao smiled teasingly at Zhu. After some time, just when Zhu felt she was not going to do it, she finally answered. “Sure thing.”
Although Zhu felt puzzled when Huo Yao readily agreed to see Song Qi, he simply thought she had finally seen the light. He turned sideways and gave way to her. “This way, please.”
“Uh huh,” acknowledged Huo Yao readily. She proceeded to walk up in front of Song Qi calmly.
Song Qi noticed Huo Yao did not greet her. Also, there was not a drop of respect in Huo Yao’s eyes. She automatically shook her head. “Sure enough, you are a rude girl. Don’t you even have the basic courtesy to greet your elders?”
Huo Yao raised her brow. She glanced at Song Qi up and down before she said bluntly, “Are you my elder?”
Song Qi was instantly annoyed.
Zhu had witnessed Huo Yao’s nonexistent courtesy firsthand. He tried to be helpful and said softly, “Miss Huo, how could you say this? Apologize to your aunt this instant. Otherwise, it will serve you no good.”
