Huo Yao instantly raised her hand and rubbed her forehead when she heard the door open.
“Yao, who is this friend of yours?”
It was none other than Huo Yulin who had stepped out. His face looked warm and his bright beautiful eyes landed on Min Yu.
Huo Yao sighed in her heart before she put down her hand and turned to introduce calmly. “This is my friend, Min Yu. Min Yu, this is my third older brother, Huo Yulin.”
Even though Min Yu held some gifts in his hand and he had deliberately suppressed his powerful aura, it was impossible to disguise his innate sense of aristocracy.
He bowed calmly to Huo Yulin slightly. “How do you do, Mr. Huo?”
Huo Yulin looked into Min Yu’s eyes before he quickly nodded and said courteously, “Nice to meet you.”
Huo Yao put her hands behind her and squeezed them every now and then. The moment she had glanced at her third older brother, she felt there was something unusual about the look in his eyes, but she was unsure if her mind was playing tricks on her.
Since Huo Yulin was standing at the door and it was open, Huo Jinyan could hear them talking from inside the hospital ward, even though they were talking relatively softly.
Huo Jinyan asked who it was as he walked over and quickly saw Min Yu.
He was surprised to see Min Yu.
Huo Yao introduced Min Yu to her father, but she simply told him Min Yu was their next-door neighbor this time.
Huo Jinyan was surprised to hear Min Yu’s surname. When he heard Min Yu was their next-door neighbor, he promptly said in shock, “Are you Yaoyao’s tuition teacher?”
Min Yu raised his brow and looked at Huo Yao the moment Huo Jinyan mentioned this.
She had been telling people Min Yu was her tuition teacher for so long that it was impossible to say otherwise now.
Min Yu put on a serious face as he greeted. “That’s right. How do you do, Uncle Huo?”
“Nice to finally meet you. Thank you for helping my daughter out with school and giving us such fine tea,” said Huo Jinyan unhurriedly.
Min Yu instantly narrowed his eyes before he smiled and said, “You are welcome. I’m glad you liked the tea.”
Huo Jinyan noticed Min Yu carrying gifts in his hand, so he quickly invited him into the hospital ward, disregarding his daughter in the process.
Huo Yao leaned against the door and massaged her forehead. Her third older brother did not go in right away. Instead, he looked at her sideways.
“Weren’t you going to the ladies?” asked Huo Yulin.
Huo Yao straightened her back before she shook her head with a straight face. “I don’t need to go there anymore.”
The moment she finished her sentence, she went back into the room.
Huo Yulin raised his eyes and shook his head with an ambiguous smile on his face.

Inside the hospital ward, Min Yu placed the gifts on the table and chatted with Huo Xiang briefly before Huo Jinyan asked him over for a quick talk.
After Min Yu sat down, Huo Jinyan looked at Min Yu.
Huo Jinyan thought about Min Yu’s unusual family name and his somewhat familiar face. He contemplated briefly before he asked. “Is Old Master Min Zheng your…”
Min Yu looked at him as he said candidly, “He is my grandfather.”
Huo Jinyan thought no wonder he could afford such fine tea. It was because he was from the Min family.
Was Min Yu not head of the clan? How did Min Yu end up getting acquainted with their daughter? Also, why was Min Yu her tuition teacher?
“Sorry about my grandfather coming over uninvited,” said Min Yu somewhat apologetically.
Huo Jinyan gathered his thoughts and shook his head politely. “No trouble at all…” He paused before he asked quizzically. “How did you end up knowing my daughter?”
Min Yu seemed to have seen this coming, so he replied unhurriedly. “I was recuperating in the countryside previously and happened to befriend her there.”
