1049: A Chance Encounter

A Chance Encounter

Huo Yao rubbed her phone screen after hearing this. She checked the time and asked. "Is there anything you want to do today?"2

Huo Changfeng was stunned. He simply shook his head as he answered. "Not really…" However, he changed his statement mid-sentence. "…I haven't gone car racing in a long time. Why don't you go for a spin with me?"

Huo Yao raised her brow. Chen Ming had mentioned Uncle Changfeng's love of car racing to her. She nodded and agreed. "Sure."

Huo Yulin's face twitched. He turned to look at his little sister. "You only got your license less than 6 months ago."

He could not believe how this was turning out. Uncle Changfeng had just asked a newbie driver to go car racing.

Huo Yao touched his nose with her eyes lowered slightly. "Well, I need the practice."

Huo Yulin went quiet.

Huo Yulin said nothing, but Huo Changfeng cleared his throat. "Now that she has a driver's license, she undoubtedly needs practice. After dinner, I will go off with your little sister first."

Huo Yulin went speechless. "?"

Was his presence redundant around here now?

Huo Changfeng automatically disregarded the look in Huo Yulin's eyes. He wanted to call Chen Ming so that he could prepare the car.

After he unlocked his phone, WeChat showed up on his screen again. Huo Changfeng tapped on Huo Yulin's chat group and saw the red packet from Huo Yulin. He raised his head and glanced at him.

He proceeded to tap on the icon and accepted the money.

After collecting the money, Huo Changfeng swiped down to Chen Ming's phone number.

Huo Yulin heard his phone chiming, so he lowered his head. He took a look, and promptly remained silent.

Huo Yao had already opened the cake box and lit the candles. She walked over to the light switch and turned off the light in the private room.

Since Huo Changfeng was an elder, they had to celebrate it properly.

After eating the cake, Huo Yao got up and went to the bathroom.

The bathroom was located on the left at the end of the corridor. Huo Yao found her way to the bathroom following the signs. When she got to the door, someone came out of the bathroom. Since the person was answering the phone, she did not pay attention while she was walking and nearly walked into Huo Yao.

Fortunately, Huo Yao had quick reflexes and swiftly stood aside.

After the girl realized her mistake, she hurriedly looked at Huo Yao and said somewhat apologetically, "Oh. Sorry! I didn't see you."

"It's fine." Huo Yao looked at her mildly without taking the incident to heart. She proceeded to enter the bathroom.

Ji Ya looked at Huo Yao from behind and got distracted. The girl was certainly gorgeous.

Ji Ya veered her eyes after looking at her briefly. She carried on talking on the phone as she walked away. When she got to the private room, she hung up the phone.

She opened the door to enter the room.

There was a family gathering today.

Song Zhi felt a lot better after recuperating for over half a month. He raised his head and looked at Song Qi sitting beside him when he received the hospital notification. "The hospital president says that we have a matching bone marrow."

Other members of the Song family were sitting at the round table. The moment they heard the news, a variety of expressions appeared on their faces.

Song Qi instantly looked delighted. "Finally."

Song Zhi glanced at his cousins and said, "That's right. Mr. Fu from the Apothecaries' Association was able to help stabilize Dad's condition long enough for the hospital to carry out the bone marrow transplant. I won't be surprised if he can live for a few more decades."

Ever since Old Master Song had taken ill, the Song family was plagued with internal discord. Everyone was just waiting for him to die before the year was through. All of them wanted to become the next family head.

Ji Ya happened to walk in and heard what Song Zhi said. She quickly walked over. "Uncle Zhi, is it true? Did the hospital say when they can perform the operation?"

Song Zhi raised his head and looked at his niece and smiled. He said in a slightly louder tone, "The hospital president will make arrangements to do the operation in a couple of days. Thanks to you, we were able to get introduced to someone from the Apothecaries' Association."
