Chapter 709: Do You Dare Say You Had Nothing To Do With It?
Yi Lianfan glanced at his mother. He contemplated for a few seconds before he told her about Wu Miao posting Huo Yao’s personal information online.
Mrs. Yi looked annoyed and slammed the table. “How could she be so shameless? She was the one who caused trouble. Even if she really wanted to apologize, she shouldn’t have come with that lousy attitude of hers.”
Yi Lianfan was startled when his mother slammed the table.
“This won’t do. Huo Yao looks too gentle. They are bound to bully her. I have to go out and check on her,” said Mrs. Yi and she stood up.
Although she had only seen the young lady twice, she had a good impression of her. Moreover, she was invited here by them, so they could not let this happen to her.
Yi Lianfan hurriedly raised his hand and stopped his mother. “Calm down. This is her personal matter, so it is inappropriate for you to interfere.”
Despite Huo Yao’s vulnerable appearance, she would not let people get away with bullying her.
Those people should count themselves lucky if Huo Yao played nice.
“I...”
Just as Mrs. Yi was about to say something, the phone on the table rang.
It was Huo Yao’s phone ringing.
She had placed her phone on the table while eating and forgot about it when she left the room.
She was sitting beside Old Mr. Yi, so Old Mr. Yi automatically glanced over when it rang.
He did not intend on intruding on her privacy. He simply took a quick glance and saw the caller ID and his eyes instantly froze.
Young Master Min?
Old Mr. Yi narrowed his eyes. He picked up his teacup and took a sip before putting it down. He proceeded to retrieve his phone from his pocket and called a number.

Meanwhile, Huo Yao had left the medicinal cuisine restaurant and was standing outside in a quiet spot. The sky had just started to turn dark, so the streetlamps were on.
Huo Yao turned to look at Wu Miao and Shen Si wearing sunglasses and masks. Her exquisite face looked cold and expressionless.
She did not speak and waited patiently.
Wu Miao looked at Huo Yao. It was the first time she had taken a close look at Huo Yao’s face. Huo Yao had enviable gorgeous looks.
She clenched her fists before she said, “What do you want us to do? What would it take for you to let our families off?”
“I don’t understand what you mean,” replied Huo Yao mildly.
Wu Miao opened her eyes wide. “Stop pretending. My cousin’s family is in trouble. Do you dare say you have nothing to do with it?”
The moment Shen Si heard Wu Miao’s interrogative tone, she narrowed her eyes and shouted at her. “Apologize to Miss Huo...”
Before they came to look for Huo Yao, Shen Si reminded Wu Miao repeatedly to forget about her grudge with Huo Yao. She had to apologize sincerely.
However, Wu Miao ended up taking this tone with Huo Yao as soon as she started speaking.
Wu Miao instantly realized her mistake and inhaled deeply before she bowed to Huo Yao. “I am sorry.”
Huo Yao stepped to the side nonchalantly. She clearly didn’t need Wu Miao’s apology.
Shen Si removed her sunglasses to reveal her swollen red eyes. Although there were barely any guests walking around, she was a celebrity and had to be careful with her image, so she did not remove her mask.
“Miss Huo, I am really sorry about my cousin’s reckless actions. I hope you can let us off now that the Shen family has gotten its just deserts,” said Shen Si sincerely without a shred of arrogance.
