Pei Feng frowned as he glanced at his father’s phone and said, “Dad, did you just call that girl?”
He found it unfathomable. That girl was merely capable of prescribing medicine. Why did his father make her out to be some all-rounded genius? Now he even wanted to invite her over to help treat their patient.
It was sheer nonsense.
“What girl? Didn’t I tell you to call her ‘Little Master Huo’?” said Old Mr. Pei angrily.
His father was being overly kind by calling her an expert.
Pei Feng shook his head speechlessly. “Why did you ask her to come over? Don’t tell me she is capable of curing any illness!”
He believed that Huo Yao had some medical skills, but… how could a teenager be capable of helping with an illness that even his father could not do anything about?
Old Mr. Pei had already detected the bias his son held against Huo Yao. Regardless of what he said, his son did not believe him. The more he tried to convince his son, the more annoyed he felt so he only said, “I don’t care what you think. This behavior stops when she is here. if you offend her, you will live to regret it.”
Pei Feng pursed his lips without taking his father’s warning to heart. He did not feel like talking about Huo Yao. He raised his hand to check his watch for the time. “Big Bro ought to be home soon. I will wait for him at the door.”
It was perfect timing. He had to tell his older brother about the huge mistake their father was committing so that he did not fall for it.
The expression on Old Mr. Pei’s face became a lot gentler at the mention of his oldest son. He waved his hand. “Go on.”
Old Mr. Pei called the butler over and told him to wait at the door as well. However, he did not send him to receive his oldest son. Instead, he instructed him to wait there for Huo Yao.
Huo Yao’s cab arrived at the Pei residence 20 minutes later.
She paid the fare before she got off.
The moment the butler caught sight of her, he hurried over and beamed. “Welcome, Miss Huo.”
“Hi.” Huo Yao nodded politely.
The butler was over 50 years old and had been almost single handedly groomed by Old Mr. Pei. He was worldly-wise and was not arrogant and prejudiced like Pei Feng.
He could tell that this young lady was very talented. Otherwise, Old Mr. Pei would not have treated her with such respect.
Moreover, she looked remarkably composed and had an acute mind. On the surface, she looked harmless, but she was inconceivably profound.
The butler gathered his thoughts and said, “Old Master is waiting for you inside. This way, please.”
“Thanks.”
“You’re welcome.”
The butler bowed to Huo Yao before he gestured for Huo Yao to walk ahead with a respectful attitude.
A sarcastic smile appeared on Pei Feng’s face when he saw the butler’s meek attitude as he waited for his older brother to arrive.
Even the butler had gotten it wrong.
Pei Feng suddenly asked while standing at the door with his arms crossed when she walked past him. “Don’t you have school today, Miss Huo?”
The butler was caught by surprise as he followed behind Huo Yao. He glanced at Pei Feng and coughed uneasily.
She had barely made it past their doors, but Pei Feng was already speaking to her condescendingly. It was rude. Also, Huo Yao came at the invitation of Old Mr. Pei.
Huo Yao halted in her steps briefly. There was barely any expression on her face as her eyes landed on Pei Feng’s face as she replied nonchalantly. “One of the perks of having good grades.”
“Cough cough. Miss Huo, let’s go in.” The butler was afraid that Pei Feng might spout more rude things, so he hurriedly interrupted their conversation.
