When Huo Ningxi said this, Song Yaoyao also realized how strange the situation was. Where did that eyesore disappear to?
“Oh, are you talking about Huo Qi?” Uncle Zhang crossed his arms. “He made a mistake and is being punished. It’s no big deal.”
Huo Ningxi twitched his lips; he wanted to ask what Huo Qi had done.
But he quickly swallowed back his words. The entire Huo Manor was headed by his Small Uncle. As long as his Small Uncle kept his mouth shut, he would never know the truth.
“Uncle Zhang, where’s Jiang Tao?” Song Yaoyao leaned against the car window. “I don’t think I saw her this morning.”
Jiang Tao normally woke up early to serve her.
Initially, she wanted to get revenge on her, but she actually disappeared.
“Oh, her?”
Uncle Zhang spoke casually without reducing his smile, “She also made a mistake and has been kicked out.”
She also made a mistake?
Along with Huo Qi…?
Song Yaoyao stuck out her tongue. “No way… Does Huo Qi like Jiang Tao? If that’s the case, then he deserves to be punished. Such bad taste…”
“Ahem…”
Huo Ningxi rolled his eyes and kicked the seat in front of him. “Let’s go.”
Uncle Zhang explained on behalf of Huo Qi, “Jiang Tao developed ulterior motives. It has nothing to do with Huo Qi. Miss Song, you should get to school. You’re going to be late.”
Later on, she would discover that cleaning was the lightest punishment in the Huo Manor.
Song Yaoyao was holding onto a pink thermos as she leaned against the car and slowly fell asleep.
Screech—
All of a sudden, the car stopped, and the sharp sound of the brakes made Song Yaoyao jump in fright. Before she reacted, her head flew forward.
Huo Ningxi’s eyelids twitched. He grabbed onto the back of her collar and pulled her back.
“Do you know how to drive?” His gaze was cold and his voice did not contain any trace of warmth.
“Young Master, someone suddenly blocked the car.”
Song Yaoyao held her neck and coughed. When she heard what had happened, she looked up.
It was a winter’s day. A woman in a wrinkled suit stared at them with her cold and exhausted face.
Jiang Tao?
Song Yaoyao lowered the car window and smiled as she leaned against the car.
Footsteps approached and finally stopped outside.
“Song Yaoyao.”
Jiang Tao’s voice was calm but slightly dark.
“Hm?”
She looked up, her smile as sweet as ever. “Uncle Zhang said you were kicked out. So it was true.”
“You must be smug,” Jiang Tao scoffed. “If the Master can kick me out because of you, he can also kick you out because of another girl in the future! I started working for the Huos when I was 15; it has already been 10 years. Now, I’m actually kicked out because of a phone call.”
Song Yaoyao found it funny. “Why would I be smug? Isn’t this the right thing to do?”
“What did you say?” Jiang Tao froze and stared at her.
Song Yaoyao: “Do you know what our biggest difference is?” Her eyes were clear, but when one looked at her, they couldn’t seem to figure her out. “I command and you obey. I know you like Gege, I knew it as soon as I first saw you, but so what? Gege isn’t interested in you; not in this lifetime.”
Jiang Tao wasn’t a stupid person, but when it came to love, she stumbled into a roadblock.
“Since you know that, then why are you still targeting me?”
“I don’t like the look of you…”
Song Yaoyao swayed her legs and turned her head lazily. “Do I need a reason to hate someone?”
She smiled sweetly the entire time without any hostility. But she looked at Jiang Tao like she was just looking at an ant.
Would a god lower their head to take notice of an ant?
