The receptionist was trying to reach Huo Yanxi by phone, but he did not answer. Now that he was finally at the office, the receptionist quickly went over and explained Song Zhi was here to see him.
Huo Yanxi frowned slightly. He never knew his mother had a brother.
He took the lift and went upstairs.
After he got to the office and put down his coat, he went over to the conference room unhurriedly.
The conference room door was open. Song Zhi and Zhu had stopped chatting, so it was quiet inside.
Huo Yanxi walked into the conference room and looked at the men sitting on the couch mildly. “What brings you here?”
Song Zhi raised his head and watched as the young man entered the conference room. Huo Yanxi had gorgeous features. Moreover, he had an extraordinary aura. He seemed just like one of the young men from elite families in the capital.
A look of surprise swept across Song Zhi’s eyes. He stood up. “Are you Huo Yanxi?”
”That’s right. You are?” Huo Yanxi stood near Song Zhi without moving while he replied politely.
Song Zhi was in his forties and did not look too old. He cut to the chase and explained. “My name is Song Zhi. I am Song Ning’s biological younger brother, so that makes me your uncle.”
Song Ning had never mentioned the Song clan to her family. She also never brought up the fact that the Song clan had severed ties with her when she was young.
Since Huo Yanxi was not in the know, he did not react particularly strongly when this middle-aged man knew his mother’s name and claimed to be his biological uncle. However, he quickly caught onto something about this man.
Despite his courteous appearance, Song Zhi seemed proud. From the moment Huo Yanxi laid eyes on Song Zhi, he knew this person was bad news.
Huo Yanxi narrowed his eyes slightly. He did not question his identity and simply asked. “Why are you here?”
Song Zhi wanted to skip the small talk as well. Since Huo Yanxi had spoken candidly, he briefly mentioned Old Master Song’s condition and said, “I could not get in touch with your mother since she had run away from home for years. I think she should see our father before he dies. I am sure she would want that.”
Zhu furtively glanced at Song Zhi.
Song Zhi was very smart. It was probably easier to convince Song Ning to see Old Master Song than getting Huo Yao to treat him.
Huo Yanxi looked at Song Zhi quietly for a few seconds before responding to him. “Since my mother has no intention of staying in touch with you, I’m afraid your family problems have nothing to do with us either.”
Huo Yanxi knew his mother’s personality well. She was not the heartless type. If she had refused to talk about her biological family for years, this could only mean that her biological family had done her injustice and made her leave home.
Since there was never a grandfather in his life, hearing about Old Master Song’s condition was unable to affect him.
Song Zhi frowned. He did not expect Huo Yanxi to be completely unmoved. Judging from his attitude, it felt as though they were talking about completely unrelated people.
Zhu hurriedly said, “Mr. Huo, how could you say that? Blood is blood. Even if your mother has left the Song family…”
Before Zhu was able to finish his sentence, Huo Yanxi interrupted him. “Excuse me. If you genuinely care about Old Master Song, rather than wasting your time trying to locate my mother, I suggest spending whatever precious time you have left with him.”
Zhu instantly looked annoyed. He looked at Song Zhi and did not know what to say.
A cold look emerged in Song Zhi’s eyes. All the friendliness was now gone. He stood where he was for half a minute before taking out his name card and pen.
