Min Yu nodded. “Hello, Old Mr. Pei.”
“Hi, Old Mr. Pei,” greeted Huo Yao.
Old Mr. Pei nodded and smiled. He took a few steps into the room and pointed at Fang Chen and Lin Shuwen as they sat on the couch. He introduced them. “This is the city mayor, Fang Chen, and his secretary, Lin Shuwen.”
Old Mr. Pei turned to look at Fang Chen and Lin Shuwen. “He is Young Master Min. Since you already know Little Master Huo, I will spare the introduction.”
After Huo Yao’s treatment, Fang Chen’s face was no longer as pale and he was starting to gain a little weight. Even though he was still skinny, it failed to conceal the powerful politician’s aura emanating from him.
He stood up and walked up to Min Yu to reach his hand out and said with a smile, “How do you do, Young Master Min?”
Min Yu’s eyes looked cool and sharp like a proud eagle. He glanced at Fang Chen unperturbed and did not reach his hand out to shake his hand. Instead, he merely nodded in acknowledgment.
Fang Chen did not seem upset. He subtly pulled his hand back before he looked at Huo Yao standing beside Min Yu. “Hi, Miss Huo.”
Huo Yao had a rather good impression of Fang Chen since he was very decisive about paying her, so she looked at him briefly before she said, “You seem to be recovering well.”
She sounded relatively warm.
Min Yu noticed the warmth in her voice.
“I have you to thank for that.” Fang Chen smiled.
Despite his illness and his sickly appearance, he was really good-looking. Since he had a very refined aura, he seemed easy to get along with when he was not discussing work.
Huo Yao nodded and waved her hand casually. “You are too kind.”
Since Huo Yao only met him today, she paused for two seconds before she said, “I will check your pulse later one more time.”
Just as Fang Chen was about to nod and agree, Lin Shuwen promptly looked anxious. He hurriedly interrupted. “It’s fine. There’s no need to trouble Miss Huo. I think he’s recovering well, so there’s no need to trouble you!”
Fang Chen was puzzled.
Lin Shuwen turned his head and looked at Fang Chen solemnly. “Mr. Fang, I trust her skills. Since she already said you would be fine if you take her prescription, I have confidence you will recover!”
It cost a seven-digit figure each time she examined a pulse. Even if Fang Chen was rich, he could not go on throwing his money away!
Fang Chen touched his forehead and said softly, “Can you stop talking?”
Lin Shuwen stepped aside indignantly and shut his mouth.
Fang Chen coughed dryly and looked at Huo Yao. “… Sorry about that.”
Huo Yao raised her brow and replied. “I get it. After all, he learned his lesson and doesn’t want to spend more money.”
Lin Shuwen went speechless.
He certainly felt offended!
Before long, Old Mr. Pei invited everyone to take a seat.
Since they had ordered ahead of time, Old Mr. Pei told Pei Feng to tell the waiting staff to bring in the food.
Pei Feng walked out.
Huo Yao sat beside Min Yu. She did not talk much and spent most of her time listening to Old Mr. Pei and the others talking. Every now and then, Old Mr. Pei would throw the conversation her way and she would raise her head to respond.
She kept an exceptionally low profile.
“Why didn’t Young Master Rong come?” asked Lin Shuwen when it suddenly occurred to him that Pei Rong was not present.
