Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

of them in the room again.

Min Yu changed the topic and said, “This morning at the gate, you weren’t allowed in.
Was it because the security guard took your Acceptance Letter away?”

“So, you also know about this?” Huo Yao stared at him.

Min Yu smiled and said, “I overheard it.”

Huo Yao pouted and picked a piece of rib for herself and mumbled.
“How good is your hearing!”

Min Yu leaned back in his chair.
He had not touched the dishes yet.
“I take it that your transfer process was not smooth.”

His remark seemed to hold a deeper meaning.

Huo Yao paused in her actions.
She remembered the call which she had received from He Xiaoman and a scornful grin flashed past her lips.

She said with a shrug, “Just some vile person causing trouble.”

“Do you need any help?” Min Yu asked.

Huo Yao kept her eyes on the dishes, while the food in her mouth muffled her voice.
“Nope.”

After dinner, Min Yu paid the bill and asked Huo Yao.
“Do you want to visit your grandma now?”

Huo Yao shook her head.
“No, it is getting late today.
Some other time.”

“I will text you her address later,” said Min Yu.

“OK.”

Huo Jinyan and Song Ning sat in the living room with the TV off.
They seemed to be in a serious mood.
Why?

Huo Yao wondered.

She greeted them and said, “Mom, Dad, I am back.”

Song Ning stood up from the sofa and walked to Huo Yao.
Since her mind was weighed down, even her smile was forced.

“How was your first day at school? Any problems?” Song Ning asked.

“It was good.”

After two seconds’ of pause, Huo Yao asked her.
“Mom, do you have any questions for me?”
