  Wu Miao was standing outside when she heard this and promptly parted the bead curtain and walked in.

  Wu Miao removed her mask and disregarded the other people in the room.

  She looked at Huo Yao before she said anxiously in a somewhat loud voice, “Huo Yao, stop pretending you don’t know us. My cousin and I need to talk to you. Mind coming out for a little chat?”


  Old Mr. Yi, Mrs. Yi, and Yi Lianfan all turned to look at Wu Miao the moment she finished her sentence.

  Since Old Mr. Yi and Mrs. Yi were not into watching entertainment programs or television dramas, they did not recognize Wu Miao.

  Usually Yi Lianfan studied like a maniac, so he didn’t waste time watching television either. After he found out that Huo Yao had joined the program, he specially watched the last few episodes, so he instantly recognized Wu Miao.

  Yi Lianfan frowned. He knew about the online incident and that Wu Miao was responsible for the leak.

  He wondered how they found out about them dining here. Yi Lianfan glanced at Huo Yao and stood up before she said a word. He looked at them coldly and said defensively, “Pardon me. This is a private gathering, so please leave.”


  Wu Miao was from No.1 Middle School and only one year older than Yi Lianfan. Even though she had graduated half a year ago, she had some impression of Yi Lianfan since he was a straight-A student.

  She also knew about his family.

  She didn’t expect Yi Lianfan to be on such good terms with Lucky’s little sister that he would stand up for her.

  Wu Miao inhaled deeply before suppressing her annoyance and saying to Yi Lianfan. “Hi, Lianfan. I really need to talk to Huo Yao.”


  Yi Lianfan raised his hand and said coolly, “Don’t get all chummy with me. I don’t know you at all. Also, if you really needed to talk to her, you should have had the courtesy to call ahead. It is really rude of you to follow her to a restaurant.”

  Wu Miao instantly froze awkwardly and didn’t know what to say.

  Mrs. Yi narrowed her eyes and stood up as well. She promptly told Chen Xiang without even trying to ask the reason. “Please send them out. Lianfan is right. Anyone with the slightest courtesy would have called ahead.”


  Chen Xiang felt insulted. Even though Mrs. Yi was clearly talking about Wu Miao, he could detect Mrs. Yi mocking him for being rude. After all, he was the one who let them in.

  Chen Xiang clenched his fists slightly as he said hoarsely, “Yes, I will.”


  Wu Miao became instantly worried. She bit her lip as she glanced at the people in the private room before she said to Huo Yao, “I am sorry. I shouldn’t have done it. It was wrong of me to divulge your private information. Can you have mercy on us and forgive us?”


  Wu Miao recalled the predicament the Wu and Shen families were in and was genuinely scared.

  Huo Yao put down her chopsticks and stood up to look at them mildly. “Let’s talk outside and not cause any disturbance to the others.”


  She turned to look at Old Mr. Yi and Mrs. Yi. She apologized courteously before leaving the private room.

  Now that Huo Yao was willing to talk to her, Wu Miao heaved a sigh of relief and followed behind.

  Mrs. Yi wanted to stop Huo Yao. Since Huo Yao left the room so quickly, she was a step too late. She turned to ask Yi Lianfan. “Who is that woman? Do you know her?”


  Have mercy on them? They were speaking strongly and clearly trying to make Huo Yao look unreasonable and vindictive.
