Chapter 1147 Gave Up Luxury To Live In A Place Like This
Huo Yao straightened her back and nodded. "Have a safe trip, Uncle Changfeng."
Huo Changfeng waved his hand and got into his car. After he drove off some distance, Huo Yao exhaled.
Even though he looked old-fas.h.i.+oned, his mind worked in strange ways.
Min Yu opened the car door, got off the car and walked over. He handed her the bag. "You forgot to take your bag."
Huo Yao finally realized that she had forgotten about her bag when she got off the car.
Min Yu did not get the chance to meet Huo Changfeng in person. He was only able to see him from the car from a distance. However, he could tell judging from Huo Changfeng"s unusual aura that he was no ordinary man. He raised his brow slightly and asked. "Who was that?"
"An elder from the family." Huo Yao pondered before answering him.
Min Yu nodded and said, "You should introduce us. I will buy dinner."
Huo Yao glanced at him. "Are you going to pull the same stunt you did to my father?"
Min Yu kept a straight face. "It wasn"t a stunt. I was being smart."
Huo Yao smiled ambiguously. If he had heard what Uncle Changfeng mentioned earlier, he might not feel the same way. She shook her head and said, "I am going in."
Min Yu nodded. Just as he was about to turn, he suddenly pulled Huo Yao by the arm. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her. "I nearly forgot. That"s for making up for today."
Huo Yao went speechless.

Song Zhi took a late-night flight to City S.
Since Butler w.a.n.g was not going with Song Zhi, Zhu volunteered to tag along. He had investigated the Huo family previously and visited City S. He knew the place well.
When they got to City S, it was already past midnight. Since it was late, they decided to spend the night at the nearby hotel and visit the Huo family the next morning.
Zhu brought Song Zhi to the place where the Huo family used to reside earlier, the next morning.
Song Zhi was dressed in a custom-made high-end suit. He frowned when he entered the dilapidated estate. Disdain promptly emerged in his eyes. "Are you sure they live here?"
Zhu nodded as he checked the building number and said, "Uh huh. The investigator confirmed that this is their address."
Song Zhi looked at the sorry state the estate was in and suppressed his urge to leave altogether. "How could they live in a place like this?"
Even the servants of the Song family probably lived in better conditions than this.
Song Zhi did not know what Song Ning was thinking. She gave up a life of luxury to live in a place like this with a useless man.
Before long, Zhu confirmed the block and unit number as listed in the investigation report. Since the gla.s.s door on the ground floor was open, they walked right in.
After getting into the lift, Zhu pressed for the top floor. Song Zhi covered his nose and mouth with his hand as the lift went up. He could not stand the stench in the lift.
Before long, the lift arrived at the top floor.
Song Zhi quickly stepped out of the lift.
Zhu checked the address on his phone before walking over to unit number one and pressing the doorbell.
After some time, no one answered the door. Zhu pressed the doorbell again and waited for a few minutes, but no one answered either.
Zhu scratched his head. He looked at the gate as he said quizzically, "That"s strange. The address is correct. Also, someone should be home at this hour."
Song Zhi could not stand the smell of the place to begin with, so he frowned even harder as he said to Zhu, "Just knock on the door with your hands."
Zhu nodded. He was planning to do just that.
Since this was an old estate, the soundproofing was poor. Before long, the neighbors could hear the commotion Zhu was making.
