Chapter 798: Start With Song Ning’s Daughter
Song Ning went quiet. She contemplated for a moment before turning the butler away. “We are holding a party for my daughter. I don’t want anyone to ruin the banquet, so please leave. Let’s just pretend none of this ever happened.”
The butler noticed how determined Song Ning was. Since they were in public, there was no sense in making things ugly, so he did not insist upon staying. He simply sighed before he turned to leave.
Song Ning gradually s.h.i.+fted her eyes as she watched him leave the restaurant. Her good mood was entirely ruined.
Huo Yao came back empty-handed. “Mom, there is no phone in your bag.”
Song Ning composed herself before turning to look at her daughter. “It slipped my mind. I forgot that the phone was with me.”
Huo Yao went quiet.

The butler went back to the car and told Song Qi word by word what Song Ning had just said to him.
Song Qi removed her sungla.s.ses. Even though she was in her forties, her complexion was in excellent condition, and she appeared to be in her thirties at best. She rubbed her forehead gently. “I just knew she would react this way. She is so stubborn.”
The butler nodded. “Exactly. Young Mistress Ning is still the same. She doesn’t care about anyone else’s feelings. She is a member of the Song family after all. How could she bear a grudge against her family for over two decades?”
“That is the reason my parents don’t like her. She was from the Song family, but she… Never mind. since she doesn’t want to see me, let’s just leave it at that,” said Song Qi mildly.
“But Mr. Song is sick… Just what if she is a match?” asked the butler softly.
“The doctor already said he is in no danger for now, so we don’t have to rush into things with her yet. We can do it slowly.” Song Qi knew what her biological older sister’s temper was like. The more they forced her, the more it would work against them.
“Okay then.” The butler stopped talking.
Song Qi put her sungla.s.ses back on before waving at him to start the car.
The butler acknowledged her and started the engine, but a thought crossed his mind and he said, “I think I b.u.mped into Young Mistress Ning’s daughter.”
He shook his head as he recalled how rude she was. “Although she is the top scholar, she can’t compare to your daughter.”
Song Qi looked mild. “How could someone like her compare to Yaya? Just look at what kind of family she is from.”
The butler glanced into the rearview mirror and smiled as he said, “That’s right. She grew up in the countryside, so she really can’t compare to her.”
She was simply another pretty face.
However, he did not say this out loud.
Song Qi acknowledged softly before checking her phone.
“Oh yes. As long as people are blood-related, they might be able to help cure your father. If Song Ning refuses to help, we can always try to get her children to help.” The butler suddenly remembered this.
Song Qi’s fingers paused before she raised her head and looked at the butler. “Thanks for reminding me.”
The butler smiled. “Since her daughter is definitely going to attend university at the capital, we can always start with her. It might work, right?”
Song Qi contemplated before she raised her brow. “In that case, the family will be indebted to you.”
The butler cleared his throat and said humbly, “I could never. The Song family has treated me well. This is my job.”
Song Qi did not go on talking. She turned her head and looked out of the car window. The moment Song Ning’s daughter got to the capital, there would be no one to protect her. Huo Yao would have no choice, but to go to the Song residence with her.
