Yang Yi looked at Huo Yao. He parted his lips and wanted to ask more. But, Min Yu’s voice beat him to it.
“Nevertheless, you’re still going to help, aren’t you?” Min Yu looked sideways at Huo Yao. Not a shred of disappointment existed on his face when his eyes landed on her. He even looked at her a bit teasingly.
Zhuo Yun and Yang Yi’s low spirits suddenly lifted a little.
Min Yu was right. Huo Yao was a topnotch apothecary, so she might be able to figure out how to treat Min Yu’s illness.
Despite everyone’s interest in the Shangguan clan, it was all hearsay. No one knew with certainty if they really existed.
Huo Yao looked at Min Yu expressionlessly. “Why do I feel as though you’re trying to rip me off?”
She had already given him plenty of medicine for free. Now, he even wanted to keep making her do it, alongwith researching for a solution for his illness.
What was up with all these people whom she encountered recently? Why did they keep sponging off her?
Did she look like an easy target to them?
Min Yu raised his brow and gently laughed before he teased her.”Why don’t you rip me off instead?”
“Yeah. Be our guest,” Zhuo Yun chimed in hurriedly.
Zhuo Yun thought to himself that she was welcome to take Min Yu’s assets and even body.
Yang Yi’s lip twitched. He really could not bear looking at how stupid Zhuo Yun was.
“Thanks, but I’m an honest person,” said Huo Yao with a fake smile as she pursed her lips.
She lowered her eyes, took out her phone to see a text message, and tapped it open. It was what her father had sent a few minutes ago.
[Don’t be fooled by them. We aren’t selling our place no matter how much they offer!]
Huo Yao did not quite understand what her father was driving at, so she sent him a question mark.
Before long, she received his reply.
[Our next-door neighbors are the ones who kept trying to buy our place.]
Huo Yao’s lips twitched. She raised her head and looked at Min Yu, with an ambiguous smile. “I heard you wanted to buy my place.”
Min Yu, Zhuo Yun, and Yang Yi went speechless.
Moments later, both Min Yu and Yang Yi looked at Zhuo Yun. Zhuo Yun covered his face after getting a cue from them. He said in a sad voice, “Erm… Miss Huo, in reality…”
A few minutes later, Huo Yao finished hearing about the events that had transpired. She went quiet for a few seconds before she said, “I don’t like flashy things. If you really want to give me something, just transfer the money to me.”
She paused before she added. “I will send you my bank account later. Since we are such good friends, don’t be stingy.”
Zhuo Yun was speechless.
She certainly did not hold back, did she!

Before long, Huo Yao left Min Yu’s place and went home. Huo Jinyan had been waiting for her in the living room. When she returned, he quickly asked her. “What did they want to see you for?”
Huo Yao’s mind was preoccupied. She raised her head to glance at her father and replied casually. “Nothing much. I told them to stop trying to buy our place.”
Huo Jinyan could not help responding quizzically. “That’s all?”
He had thought about what transpired sometime ago. His daughter clearly seemed to be acquainted with them, and they certainly were not reaching out to her regarding the house.
Huo Yao was in a fix. She could not tell her father that their next-door neighbor was the tuition teacher, whom he kept insisting upon meeting. Hence, she simply ignored his sceptical gaze.
Song Ning was calling them over for dinner, so Huo Yao quickly proceeded to the dining table.
Her father looked at her from behind and felt that she was holding something back from him!
