Huo Yao pursed her lips and glanced at Zhu mildly. “Apologize? To whom?”
Even though she was simply glancing nonchalantly, Zhu inexplicably felt intimidated by the gaze.
Her aura was even more imposing than Song Zhi’s when Song Zhi was angry.
Zhu was startled inside. He frowned as he scratched his head quizzically. How could he get affected by a young girl’s aura?
Zhu composed himself and repeated in a serious tone. “She is your biological aunt.”
“I see.” Huo Yao flicked her fingers in mid-air nonchalantly. “Do you want me to apologize to a dead woman?”
She did not treat Song Qi as her aunt and even called her a dead person. Zhu instantly became worried. He secretly looked at Song Qi and saw the angry look on her face. He pressed his forehead and went speechless.
Miss Huo certainly did not know better. Why did she not consider her circumstances before speaking rudely?
Zhu shook his head and said nothing.
Since she refused to take his advice, why should he bother reminding her to be polite?
Song Qi looked at Huo Yao coldly. Sure enough, like mother like daughter. Neither of them was capable of speaking nicely. They were simply abhorrent.
Song Qi inhaled deeply. She did not want to waste time talking to Huo Yao, so she got straight to the point. “You have five days to leave Tsing University. Just make yourself scarce.”
Huo Yao looked intrigued when she heard what Song Qi wanted. Previously, Song Qi wanted Huo Yao’s blood. Now, Song Qi wanted Huo Yao to leave town altogether.
“Really? Why?” asked Huo Yao mildly.
Song Qi took a step forward holding her purse. She looked at Huo Yao coldly as she approached the girl. “You asked for it. You should never have gotten chummy with my daughter.”
Huo Yao scratched her ear quizzically. “Your daughter?”
Song Qi automatically scoffed when she noticed Huo Yao acting like she did not know who Ji Ya was. “Remember. You have five days. If I still see you at Tsing University in five days, don’t blame me for taking matters into my own hands.”
Song Qi paused before she continued speaking harshly. “This is not an empty threat. I can make it impossible for you to continue staying in the capital. I can also make your family’s life in City S hard.”
Just the Song family alone had business all over the country. Since the Song family was linked to countless other businesses in the country, it was as easy as killing an ant for her to destroy an ordinary family.
Huo Yao seemed completely calm. She contemplated for a couple of seconds without saying a word. Then, she retrieved her phone and swiped down to a number in her phone book and dialed it.
Song Qi simply assumed Huo Yao was going to tell Song Ning about this. She scoffed thinking how childish Huo Yao was. “It’s useless complaining to your mother.”
After all, Song Ning had been driven out of the Song clan for running away with a lowly man, and was barred from returning for life.
Huo Yao’s call quickly got through.
“Yes, Miss Huo? How can I help you?” said Huo Changfeng over the phone. His voice clearly sounded happy and surprised.
It was the first time Miss Huo had taken the initiative to ring Huo Changfeng.
Huo Yao greeted him before glancing at Song Qi and speaking openly. She said with a somewhat pitiful tone, “Oh yes. Uncle Changfeng, someone wants to make the Huo family’s life in City S hard. Is it possible?”
The moment Song Qi heard what Huo Yao said, she felt absolutely tickled by it, especially the way Huo Yao called the Huo family.
It sounded as though they were some kind of an influential family.
