Chapter 733: Bank Book
Min Yu contemplated for a couple of seconds before he held the box in front of Huo Yao and said, “I can give it to you, but you can’t return it.”
Huo Yao glanced at him. “Okay.”
Min Yu finally placed the box in her hand.
Huo Yao wished him goodnight before leaving with the box.
Min Yu shook his head.
Huo Yao went back to her room and closed the door behind her. She sat on the bed, and opened the box.
There was a small white jade pendant inside the box. It did not have any markings, but it had a special shape and looked a little like a fish.
Huo Yao scrutinized the jade pendant. Judging from its quality, it was not a priceless antique.
She quickly put it back into the box and closed its lid. She thought about what Old Madam Yang had mentioned over the phone before placing it in her luggage.

For the next two days, Huo Yao stopped experimenting with her medicine maker. Instead, she spent all her time with Old Madam Yang.
Old Madam Yang thought her daughter was bound to call to ask for the jade again and come personally the next day, so she was preoccupied. She finally felt relieved when her daughter did not show up.
She did not like the idea of letting Huo Yao leave so soon since she did not know when she would get to see her again.
Huo Yao wanted to go back to City S the day after. However, she decided to stay one more day since Old Madam Yang was in low spirits.
Old Madam Yang woke up at 5:00 am on the day Huo Yao was leaving. She went upstairs to her room and secretly gave her a bankbook. “I managed to save some money over the years, along with all the money you gave me previously.”
Huo Yao leaned against the headboard. She returned her grandmother the bankbook without even checking its contents. “I have money.”
Old Madam Yang looked at her sadly. “I mean well. Are you refusing to take my money because I am poor?”
Huo Yao pressed her forehead.
“There isn’t much money in here. Other than my pension, I don’t have other sources of income. Even if you want more, I don’t have it,” muttered Old Madam Yang.
Huo Yao sensed a headache coming on. She sighed before she quickly took the bankbook. “Stop! I will take it.”
Old Madam Yang finally smiled happily. “That’s more like it.”
She continued nagging a little more before she went downstairs to prepare breakfast for everyone.
Huo Yao was wide awake. After Old Madam Yang went away, she got up and started to pack up. Holding the bank book, she opened it for a look.
It contained $350 000. She thought about how broke she was and went into contemplation.
Even Old Madam Yang was richer than her.

Her flight was at 12:00 pm, so all of them left Old Madam Yang’s place right after breakfast.
Chen Ming came to pick them up and did a good job of pretending to be the driver. Huo Yao chatted with him briefly on the way to the airport.
Chen Ming felt deeply flattered. After dropping them at the airport, he reported the situation to the chief steward over the phone. He naturally told the chief steward how easy to get along with Miss Huo was.
Huo Changfeng felt annoyed, so he said, “I need someone to follow up on the project in Province Y. Why don’t you just stay there?”
Old Madam Yang resided in Fuxian County and it was a part of Province Y.
Chen Ming had already booked tickets for City S for 1:00 pm in the afternoon, so he was dumbstruck by what the chief steward said.
What had he done?
