Chapter 1151 Was Everyone In The Family Equally Heartless?
Song Zhi wrote down his hotel name and room number on his name card before handing it over to Huo Yanxi. "I won"t waste your time any longer. I just hope you can pa.s.s the message to your mother. My hotel name is on the card. I am flying back at 10:00 pm tonight and will leave the hotel at 8:00 pm. It is up to her to decide whether she wants to go back to the capital with me to see her father one last time."
The moment he finished his sentence, Song Zhi placed the name card on the coffee table beside him without waiting for Huo Yanxi to take it.
He glanced at Zhu before striding out of the conference room.
From behind, Song Zhi looked solemn and cool.
Zhu looked at Huo Yanxi. His lips parted, wanting to speak, but he ended up inhaling powerlessly before going after Song Zhi.
Huo Yanxi looked at the door quietly for a few seconds before he veered his eyes. He walked up in front of the coffee table and picked up the name card. He looked at the hotel name and room number with narrowed eyes.
He proceeded to place the name card in his pocket randomly.

After Zhu and Song Zhi had left the company, Zhu glanced at Song Zhi quietly and said, "From the looks of it, Huo Yanxi probably won"t help."
Song Zhi looked furious. If not for OId Master Song, he would ensure that Huo Yanxi paid for taking that tone of voice with him.
Zhu paused before he added. "Miss Ning"s other son is a lawyer. Shall we try him instead?"
Song Zhi had already walked up to the roadside. He glanced at Zhu sideways and said coldly, "It"s fine. Let"s go back to the hotel."
"Judging from Huo Yanxi"s att.i.tude earlier, I doubt he will pa.s.s the message to Miss Ning," said Zhu worriedly.
They had thought that Huo Yanxi might be able to help. Sadly, everyone in the Huo family was c.o.c.ky.
Who on earth did Song Ning marry? Was everyone in the family heartless?
Song Zhi narrowed his eyes deeply and replied. "Who knows!"
Zhu sighed. He stopped harping on the subject and flagged a cab.
The two of them headed straight back to the hotel.

When it was 4:00 pm, Huo Yanxi"s a.s.sistant updated him about his schedule. "Oh yes. You have a dinner engagement with the CEO of Huarong at 7:00 pm."
After the a.s.sistant reminded Huo Yanxi about dinner plans, he put away his notebook and headed for the office door.
Huo Yanxi leaned his arms on the table with his fingers interlaced as he contemplated. When the a.s.sistant got to the office door, Huo Yanxi stood up and said, "Cancel the dinner."
The a.s.sistant turned and looked at his boss in surprise. "Cancel it? Are you sure? We had a hard time making this appointment."
"It"s fine. If they are serious about working with us, a slight change in dinner plans will have no consequences," said Huo Yanxi mildly. He took his car keys from the drawer, put on his coat, and left the office.
The a.s.sistant watched as his boss strode off. He rubbed his nose quizzically. It had been a long time since he saw Huo Yanxi react so strangely.
Huo Yanxi drove back to the Huo residence.
After parking the car in the parking lot, he did not get off for a long time. He kept thinking about Song Zhi wondering whether he should tell his mother about the person"s unexpected visit.
Huo Yanxi finally snapped out of his thoughts and got off the car when someone knocked on the car window.
"Why are you still sitting in the car?" Huo Jinyan looked at his eldest son curiously.
Huo Jinyan had already seen his eldest son"s car from the balcony. When Huo Yanxi did not come in for a long time, he came out to check the situation.
Huo Yanxi greeted his father before he said, "I had something on my mind."
