Only hooligans were capable of knocking out Song Zhi’s men and throwing them at the emergency exit. It was simply audacious.
Song Zhi did not remember everything about the time when Song Ning left the family. However, Song Zhi recalled Song Ning eloping with a good for nothing guy and making the Song family a complete laughingstock back in the day.
After all, no woman in high society would have done it. It was the dumbest thing she had ever done.
”Now that Ning is back in the capital, she knocked out your men. Is she trying to intimidate us or something?” Song Qi pondered and spoke.
Song Zhi thought about how he had gone all the way to City S, but Song Ning had refused to see him. His eyes instantly looked cold and angry. “She should cut it out for her own good.”
Song Qi lowered her eyes slightly with a worried look in her eyes. She acknowledged quickly before she said, “Ning clearly doesn’t want to see us. Then how can we get her daughter to treat Dad?”
”Now that she is in the capital, there is no reason we do not meet,” replied Song Zhi mildly.
Song Qi nodded. “That’s true. How about this? I will make a restaurant reservation and you can call her out. If I call her, she might not want to take my call.”
Song Zhi pondered and replied. “Okay.”
”Oh yes. Go, pick up her daughter and bring her over as well. After all, we are family,” added Song Qi.
Song Zhi wanted Huo Yao to treat Old Master Song desperately. If meeting for dinner could help mend ties with Song Ning and Huo Yao, it would be perfect. He contemplated and answered. “I will pick her up from school.”
Song Qi glanced at him. When Song Qi caught the hopeful look in Song Zhi’s eyes, she could not help feeling uncomfortable.
Song Qi knew Song Zhi all too well. He loved acquainting himself with people he could use.
Song Ning’s daughter was a peerless doctor and friends with the chairman of the Apothecaries’ Association, so he clearly wanted to take the opportunity to ingratiate himself with Huo Yao.
”Oh yes. Call Ya and tell her to come over for dinner tonight. Since both the kids are studying at Tsing University, I am sure they have a lot in common,” said Song Zhi.
Song Qi could not help feeling angry. However, she did not show it on her face and simply replied calmly. “I doubt it. She is very busy helping her teacher with the marine engineering project. She does not even have time to come home and has been staying at the dorm.”
Did Song Zhi want to use Ji Ya to get close to Huo Yao? Was Huo Yao good enough?
Although Song Zhi felt disappointed, he did not insist. “No pressure. I am sure there will be other opportunities for them to meet in the future.”
Song Qi said nothing. She simply took her phone from her purse. She stepped aside to make a call and told her subordinates to make a restaurant reservation.

Meanwhile, at the university.
Huo Yao only had one class in the afternoon, so she went to the laboratory straight after class.
Shortly after entering the laboratory, she saw Dai Jie and the others smiling happily.
Huo Yao hung her bag on her chair. She glanced at them quizzically before turning on her computer.
”Huo Yao, I have good news. Do you want to know what just happened?” Liu Qian chuckled as he smiled brightly, holding a document in his hand.
Huo Yao blinked and asked. “Are we getting paid ahead of time?”
Liu Qian was about to share the attention which their research project had garnered, but he promptly went speechless at her response.
Huo Yao had really ruined the atmosphere.
