Huo Yao quickly turned on WeChat and tapped on the nickname, ‘Madam Song’, and sent her mother a text message: [Mom, why are both of you here?]
The two sneaky characters whom Huo Yao spotted earlier were none other than her hilarious parents, Song Ning and Huo Jinyan.
Despite wearing hats to disguise themselves, they drew attention by acting sneakily.
Song Ning’s phone was on silent mode, so she did not notice her daughter’s text. She only realized a few minutes later when she took out her phone.
Madam Song: [Oh, what do you mean?]
Huo Yao’s lips twitched. Then she replied: [I saw the two of you. You are wearing a blue and black hat.]
Meanwhile, in the spectator seats beneath the stage.
Song Ning pinched her husband. “Look at this. Our daughter found out that we are here.”
Huo Jinyan glanced at Song Ning’s phone. A while later, he proudly said, “Our daughter has such sharp eyes.”
Song Ning: “…”
“But how is our daughter’s English so fluent?” Huo Jinyan touched his chin in surprise.
Her fluency was far beyond the English standard of the small town she grew up in.
“Didn’t she have a tuition teacher? Maybe he taught her?” said Song Ning randomly.
Huo Yao’s tuition teacher’s image crossed Huo Jinyan’s mind when his wife reminded him. Also, Huo Jinyan recalled he was the one who gave Huo Yao that rare tea.
“We should ask her about it later and make time to buy him dinner,” said Huo Jinyan.
“Sure,” agreed Song Ning as she nodded.
An hour later.
Huo Yao came down from the stage with a certificate and the cash prize.
Song Ning had already removed her hat and was happily holding her daughter’s certificate. “My daughter is brilliant.”
Huo Yao had grown accustomed to her mother’s praises. She handed the prize money to her father.
Huo Jinyan held the check as he looked at his daughter quizzically. “Erm?”
Huo Yao replied candidly. “I wanted to get you a gift after you got a new car. Now you can pick something out yourself.”
Huo Jinyan went into a daze. After he finally collected himself, he lowered his eyes to look at the check before looking at his daughter again. He was touched and wanted to say something. However, his daughter took out her phone and went aside to answer it.
It was Zhuo Yun calling Huo Yao.
“Miss Huo, can you tell me where you bought the nerve soothing incense from? Do you have the seller’s contact details?”
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes when she heard how anxious Zhuo Yun sounded. She asked. “Did something happen?”
“Yu has suffered a relapse. We were hoping that the incense maker could help,” replied Zhuo Yun ambiguously.
Huo Yao frowned. Min Yu clearly seemed fine when she saw him in the capital.
She contemplated for a few seconds and said, “Are you still in the capital?”
“Nope. We have come back to City S,” replied Zhuo Yun automatically.
“Text me your address,” said Huo Yao unhurriedly.
Zhuo Yun thought Huo Yao was going to bring the incense maker over, so he quickly agreed and hung up.
Huo Yao looked at her phone and quickly received Zhuo Yun’s text. She took a glance at their address before putting her phone in her pocket.
She turned to her parents and spoke up before they could. “Mom, Dad, can you go back first? I have to go somewhere.”
