When she ran into the woman outside Min Yu’s place, she had claimed that she was there looking for the Nie residence.
Huo Yao hastily looked at Min Yu as he stood beside Nie Su. They clearly resembled each other.
Her cheeks twitched subtly as she pondered.
When Nie Su saw Huo Yao’s reaction, she knew Huo Yao must have recognized her. She cleared her throat and said, “Why don’t we talk inside?”
Huo Yao nodded obediently and walked behind Nie Su.
Min Yu raised his brow when his mother ignored him and followed behind them carrying the gift box.
When they got to the living room, Prof Min got up and greeted Huo Yao. “Welcome.”
“Hello, Uncle Min.” Huo Yao nodded slightly. When she caught sight of an old man sitting beside Prof Min, she paused briefly and said, “Hi, Grandpa Min.”
Even though Old Master Min was already 80 years old, he was in good shape and looked hale and hearty.
He beamed brightly as he waved at Huo Yao. “Come over and let me take a good look at you.”
Huo Yao tightened her fists uncontrollably and said nothing.
The old man was at it again.
Nie Su and Prof Min failed to detect the atmosphere between Huo Yao and Old Master Min. They simply assumed that Old Master Min was very pleased with his future granddaughter-in-law.
Since the food was already prepared, Nie Su glanced around and said, “Why don’t we eat first? We can chat over dinner.”
Everyone headed to the dining room.
Old Master Min made Huo Yao sit down beside him. Over dinner, he kept talking to her. Since he was in a good mood, he even told Prof Min to open a bottle of red wine.
Huo Yao also had a few drinks. After a few drinks, her face looked slightly red, but her eyes remained clear, and she did not seem drunk.
Instead, Old Master Min felt a little giddy, so a servant helped him to his room to rest after dinner.
Nie Su noticed the blush on Huo Yao’s face and felt worried that she might get drunk, so she made her some honey water. “Are you okay?”
Huo Yao shook her head and thanked her for the honey water. She was not a good drinker, but it was okay for her to have a few drinks.
Since she genuinely looked alright, Nie Su felt relieved. She sat down beside Huo Yao and paused briefly before she said, “Oh yes. How did your thesis go?”
Huo Yao held the glass of honey water in her hand and replied. “Thanks for the tips. I’ve already finished it and submitted it.”
Nie Su smiled and said softly, “No worries. We’re family.”
Huo Yao lowered her head and drank the honey water quietly. She looked like a sweet girl.
Nie Su sneered inwardly. Her son was very lucky to meet Huo Yao. She wondered how her stupid son managed to find such a sweet young woman.
The two of them went back to chatting.
Prof Min and Min Yu were talking upstairs. When they were done, Min Yu came downstairs and went to the living room. He looked at Huo Yao’s face and said mildly, “Mom, it’s getting late, so I have to send her home.”
“Already?” Nie Su raised her head and checked the clock on the wall. It was 9:00 pm sharp. She turned to say to Huo Yao, “We have plenty of spare rooms around. Why don’t you spend the night here and head back tomorrow instead?”
Huo Yao looked at Nie Su. Before she was able to say anything, Min Yu’s voice came from behind.
