Chapter 638: She Is Certainly Smart
Min Yu tapped his fingers on his knees before he acknowledged and said, “Is that all you are going to pay me?”
Huo Yao raised her brow as she clutched the box and looked at him with her head tilted.
Min Yu’s lips twitched while he disregarded her reaction. “Aren’t you going to buy me dinner?”
The moment Huo Yao heard what he wanted, she instantly stuck three fingers out and gestured okay. “Sure thing. Let’s go over to Old Mr. Yi’s medicinal cuisine restaurant and support his business. Also, the food there is good for health.
Min Yu was flabbergasted.
Huo Yao’s WeChat notification rang. She lowered her eyes before she said, “I have to go. I’ll call you.”
The moment she finished her sentence, she stood up and left.
Min Yu pressed his forehead miserably as he watched her leave quickly.
He had done her a favor, but she did not even stay around to chat with him.
Shortly after the thought rose in his head, his phone rang as it sat on the coffee table.
It was a text message from the bank about a transfer.
[$9 999 999]
Even though there was no information about who sent the money, it was an easy guess.
Min Yu held the phone as he contemplated. He did not expect her to know his private banking details.
Min Yu tapped his fingers and smiled teasingly. He glanced at the amount she had transferred. The number nine meant forever. Was she trying to say they would be together forever?

Huo Yao took the boxes of herbs home, changed her clothes, and prepared to head out.
“Where are you going?” asked Huo Tingrui. He had gotten up from the bed and headed downstairs for a drink to see his little sister ready to go out.
Huo Yao raised her brow. “Fang Ting wants to have lunch with me.”
The moment Huo Tingrui heard Fang Ting’s name, he recalled getting blacklisted by her and woke up right away. “Why?”
“She probably just wants to hang out.” Huo Yao shrugged.
Huo Tingrui contemplated before he suddenly laughed profoundly. “She is certainly smart.”
First, she blacklisted him to get his attention before getting close to his little sister.
He was wondering why Fang Ting asked for Huo Yao’s contact number the other day. Now he finally knew why she did it.
Ptooey! He had seen people pulling this ruse all the time.
Huo Yao glanced at her stupid second older brother and did not know what he was thinking.
She checked the time and said, “I have to go.”
Huo Tingrui hurriedly put the gla.s.s down and pulled Huo Yao’s arm. “Hang on. Let me get changed so that I can send you there.”
Even though his little sister was heartless, he could not stand by and let her get deceived by Fang Ting.
The moment he finished his sentence, he hurried upstairs to change his attire.
The two of them arrived at the restaurant that Fang Ting had recommended 30 minutes later.
Initially, Huo Tingrui wanted to wait outside, but Huo Yao called Fang Ting when she detected him dying to go in.
Huo Yao asked out of courtesy whether he could join them.
After they entered the private room, Fang Ting stood up and walked over to Huo Yao and said warmly, “Hi, Yaoyao.”
She looked at Huo Tingrui and nodded politely.
Her att.i.tude towards him was clearly different from before.
Huo Tingrui felt that the woman was a great actor. However, he was stunned when he noticed that Fang Chen was also there.
Since he was a lawyer, he often worked on cases for private citizens and companies, so he was often at the Justice Department. The moment he saw Fang Chen, he quickly recognized him.
What was he doing here?
Huo Tingrui scratched his head as his eyes landed on Fang Ting’s face. Both Fang Chen and she had the same surname. Could they be relatives?
