Chapter 1619 - 1619 A Mystery
1619 A Mystery
Huo Yao had managed to retrieve Old Madam Yang’s old phone. However, it had fallen into the water, so it was impossible to turn it on.
She had spent the entire afternoon trying to repair the phone, but it was futile.
It felt as though the phone and its data had died along with Old Madam Yang.
Huo Yao put down the screwdriver in annoyance and leaned against the seat backrest powerlessly. Her bloodshot eyes turned dark.
No matter how good she was with smartphones and technology, it was all useless at this moment.
!!
She was unable to even repair the phone now.
Huo Yao shut her eyes in self-deprecation.
After some time, she opened her eyes. She reached her hands out to pick up the tools and cautiously put the phone back together again.
Before long, she was done putting the phone back together.
As for Old Madam Yang’s audio recording Lu Xia mentioned, it was pure mystery now. It was impossible for her to confirm its existence.
When Min Yu found out about the drowning incident at school, he threw aside his urgent matters and went straight back to the hotel.
He saw Huo Yao sitting in front of the table motionlessly the moment he entered the room. Huo Yao’s face was pale and she looked immensely sad.
Min Yu paused briefly and walked toward her. Just as he was about to say something, he noticed the phone in her hand.
He froze briefly.
It seemed to be Old Madam Yang’s phone.
Min Yu looked at Huo Yao. He could tell she was in bad shape. He asked. “What happened? Is that Old Madam Yang’s phone?”
Huo Yao’s eyelashes moved slightly. It seemed as though she had only just noticed someone’s presence in the room. She wiped her face and looked at Min Yu. She said sadly, “Don’t you think I’m very useless? I can’t even fix the phone. This was the only thing my grandmother left behind.”
Min Yu felt sad for her. He took a step toward her, embraced her, and placed her head on his chest. “This isn’t your fault. Perhaps that was the phone’s destiny.”
Huo Yao held the phone tightly and replied softly. “What destiny? Was it fated to come to no good end? Was it unable to escape its fate?”
Min Yu simply embraced Huo Yao. His eyes turned dark but it was unclear if he had heard her. After some time, he finally said, “Don’t think too much. You’ve already done very well.”
“Perhaps.” Huo Yao spoke softly.
She decided to stop thinking about it since she was unable to get any answers.
After all, she had to look to the future.
She stood for some time before someone could be heard knocking on the door.
Min Yu let go of Huo Yao’s arm and rubbed her head gently. “I’ll go get the door.”
“Uh huh.” Huo Yao nodded and put her phone back into her pocket.
**
Wu Yue, her senior brothers, and the Math department students were standing at the door. They were stunned to see a young man answering the door.
Li Chenhui was the first to snap out of his shock. Since he had dined with Huo Yao and Min Yu previously, he cleared his throat and said, “Hi there. We’re here to see Huo Yao. Is she okay?”
Min Yu nodded and said politely, “She’s fine.”
“I’m glad she’s fine.” Li Chenhui looked behind Min Yu and sighed as he spoke.
Min Yu opened the door and gestured for them to come in and talk.
Li Chenhui hurriedly thanked him.
Wu Yue was walking beside Li Chenhui. He glanced at Li Chenhui and asked. “Who’s he? What’s going on?”
Li Chenhui glanced back at Wu Yue before he covered his mouth slightly and explained in a soft tone. “He’s Junior Sister’s friend.”
