Chapter 1127 Playing Hard To Get

This time, the call was unable to reach Huo Yao altogether and Zhu heard a message indicating that the phone had no service.

Zhu hung up and looked at Song Qi. "I think she blacklisted me."

Song Qi was so angry that she instantly laughed. "Who does she think she is? We asked her nicely and even resorted to pulling threats, but she refused to come."

"I wonder what Miss Huo means by this. She tried to get close to Miss Ji Ya at school, but she refused to see you," said Zhu in bewilderment.

In theory, the young woman should have ingratiated herself to the family when she found out who they were. Why would she refuse to see them?

Moreover, Huo Yao had received the d.a.m.ning photos. If she cared about Song Ning, she would have shown up, right?

Song Qi scoffed. "She is playing hard to get just like her mother."

"What now?" asked Zhu.

A cold look swept across Song Qi's eyes. She stood up and said, "Since she refuses to show up, don't blame me for taking things to the extreme."

The moment she finished her sentence, she left the private room and did not go on waiting for Huo Yao.

Zhu lowered his head and quickly followed behind Song Qi.

Huo Yao put down the phone and continued eating.

"Who was that?" Huo Yulin was sitting beside Huo Yao. He noticed how angry Huo Yao was when she answered the phone, so he asked quizzically.

Huo Yao raised her head and shook her head. "Someone got the wrong number."

Huo Yulin glanced at Huo Yao again.

Huo Yao cleared her throat and changed the subject. "Oh yes, Brother Yulin. Has the Song family ever reached out to you?"

"The Song family?" Huo Yulin was caught by surprise. "What Song family?"

From the looks of it, no one from the Song family had reached out to him before. Huo Yao pondered briefly before she replied. "I meant Mom's biological family."

Huo Yulin instantly realized who she was talking about. He did not pay attention to the Song family previously. He only learned about her ties with the family when he heard about it from Chen Ming recently.

"What's wrong? Did someone from the Song family call you?" Huo Yulin was spot on.

Huo Yao shrugged and acknowledged. "Uh huh."

"Just ignore them," said Huo Yulin mildly.

Although Huo Yao did not know why her biological mother did not mention her family all these years, she was certain the Song family had done Song Ning injustice.

Huo Yao acknowledged obediently.

From the looks of it, Huo Yulin did not know much about their mother's situation.

Huo Yulin paused. He glanced at her phone on the table. "Did someone from the Song family just call you?"

Huo Yao blinked. She had to admit he was a very observant man.

Huo Yulin frowned. "Just stay out of it. If they continue disturbing you, just let me know. I will handle them."

"Uh huh," acknowledged Huo Yao patronizingly.

Both of them were distracted.

After dinner, Huo Yao did not go back to her room immediately. Instead, she sat in the living room watching the television as she played with her phone.

Before long, Huo Yao received a text message and her eyes instantly lit up. She put on her slippers, stood up, and stepped out of the villa.

Yang Yi was here with the files.

Huo Yao took the doc.u.ment from Yang Yi. "That was very efficient of you."

Yang Yi nodded and explained. "What happened to your mother was no secret, so it wasn't hard to investigate it."

"I see." Huo Yao did not look at the doc.u.ment. Instead, she looked at Yang Yi. "Thanks."

Yang Yi smiled awkwardly. "You are welcome. If you need my help, feel free to call me." He was referring to the Song family.

Huo Yao nodded.

"Miss Huo, goodbye then."

"Okay."

Huo Yao watched as Yang Yi left before going back into the villa.

After going back into her room and was.h.i.+ng up, Huo Yao looked at the doc.u.ments which Yang Yi had just given her.
