Min Yu raised his hand to check the time. “I have to go. Why don’t you go back inside?”
Huo Yao nodded. She watched him go to the parking lot and drive off before she went back into the restaurant.
Meanwhile, the butler from the Song family had already reached the restaurant entrance.
Huo Yao was preoccupied and the restaurant had a revolving door, so she paid no attention to the people around her. When she entered the revolving door first, she almost bumped into the butler.
The butler frowned as he looked at the rude young woman. He was thoroughly annoyed.
Huo Yao raised her head and wanted to speak, but she calmly moved her eyes when she noticed his annoyance and headed into the hotel.
She was so rude!.
The butler suppressed his annoyance and flicked his sleeve as though there were germs on it before he proceeded to enter the restaurant with his back straight.

Song Ning saw Huo Yao when she got back to the restaurant, so she waved her over. Huo Yao pressed her forehead before going to her.
“Why did you come in alone? Wasn’t Yu with you?” asked Song Ning quizzically. She glanced around Huo Yao as she spoke.
“He has to go back to the capital today, so he left after giving me a present,” explained Huo Yao.
“I see. Okay then.” Song Ning looked disappointed. Then again, it was better for him to leave early since there were a lot of guests today.
Song Ning held her daughter’s hand and said, “Come on. Let me introduce you to some of our friends…” However, she paused in surprise mid-sentence when she caught sight of the butler coming into the restaurant.
Huo Yao had her head lowered. She raised her head to look at her mother when she suddenly stopped talking mid-sentence.
By now Song Ning had already composed herself. She stood in front of her daughter and blocked the butler from her sight. “… I suddenly recalled that I forgot my purse. Can you ask your father where it is and help me get my phone?”
Huo Yao looked at Song Ning and found her acting a little strange. However, she nodded a moment later and turned to go towards Huo Jinyan without asking any questions.
Song Ning watched from behind as her daughter left before she heaved a sigh of relief.
She headed towards the butler with a cool and collected demeanor.
“Young Mistress Ning, long time no see,” greeted the butler politely as he glanced behind Song Ning at Huo Yao.
Song Ning appeared cold and distant. “I am not your young mistress. I have nothing to do with the Song family.”
She paused and pondered briefly. She knew why the butler was here, so she cut to the chase and said, “Please tell Song Qi that I won’t ever go back to the Song family. Stop calling me or trying to look for me.”
The butler did not expect Song Ning to react so strongly and bluntly about this. His face froze uneasily before he finally said, “But… Young Mistress Qi is waiting for you outside.”
Song Ning sounded impatient. “I am not going to see her.’
“You are a Song after all. Do you have to be so heartless? Shouldn’t you at least consider your husband and your children’s future?” said the butler nonchalantly with his back straight.
Song Ning could tell what the butler was implying. She laughed gently before shaking her head. “I won’t blame you since you are ignorant. I strongly suggest you refrain from saying anything further.”
The butler frowned.
