“If you insist that I hate Dad, then so be it. It does not change the fact that my daughter is not a physician.” Song Ning held her daughter’s hand tightly without turning to look at her.

  “You just want our father to die, right?” Song Qi slammed the table and replied in contempt.

  Song Ning laughed. “It is not our fault he is dying. Even the best doctors are unable to treat the old man. No matter how you try to coerce me morally, nothing is going to change the facts here.”


  If Huo Yao was able to treat their father, all would be well. They wouldn’t hesitate to push all the blame on Huo Yao if she failed to succeed.

  Song Ning knew her siblings all too well. They only cared about themselves.

  “You are both members of the Song family. Your daughter already said she had an 80% chance of saving our father!” Song Qi looked at Huo Yao sternly. “You can save him. Why do you refuse to do it? Whatever it is, he is your biological grandfather. This is a life we are talking about!”


  Song Ning frowned when she heard what Song Qi said. She said coldly, “I told you. My daughter…”


  Huo Yao nodded nonchalantly and interrupted. “You are right. There is hope for the old man.”


  Song Ning turned to look at her daughter. “That’s nonsense.”


  Huo Yao blinked. She pulled her hand from Song Ning and patted Song Ning on the back of her hand. “I can do it if you really want me to help.”


  Song Qi instantly looked at her mockingly. “Just name your price.”


  Huo Yao kept playing hard to get, so Song Qi felt she must be in it for the money.

  “Is $1, 000, 000 enough? Or shall I double it?” Song Qi did not want to waste her time talking. She gestured for Zhu to hand over her purse and retrieved a chequebook before writing a string of numbers on it.

  After writing the amount, Song Qi tore it out of the book and threw it on the table. Song Qi turned the glass rotating table until the cheque was in front of Huo Yao.

  She laughed as she said, “$2, 000, 000. This ought to be enough for you to spend for several years.”


  Chen Ming was standing behind Huo Yao. The moment Song Qi finished her sentence, he raised his head and looked at Song Qi.

  There was mockery in his eyes. He was looking at Song Qi as though she were a fool.

  How could they throw a cheque at the Huo family?

  It was the funniest joke he had heard all year.

  Huo Yao raised her brow. She sighed gently looking at the string of numbers on the cheque. She turned to look at Song Ning. “Mrs Huo, someone just threw a check at your daughter. What do you think? It’s $2, 000, 000 after all. Considering how poor we are, it will certainly go a long way for us.”


  Song Ning’s face twitched. She was speechless.

  Huo Yao was bringing up the fact again that they had lied to her about being poor.

  Song Ning rubbed her brow. It was not her first time throwing a cheque at someone. She balled the cheque up and threw it on Song Qi’s face. “$2, 000, 000? It isn’t even enough for me to get random toys for my daughter. How could you have the cheek to offer it to us?”


  Huo Yao quietly watched as her mother threw the cheque with the airs of a wealthy woman.

  The paper nearly struck Song Qi on the face, but it missed and landed on her arm. She was furious. “Stop pretending already.”


  Song Ning smiled. “I hate to say this, but the last thing I need is money.”


  Song Qi was furious, but she remained speechless for a long time just staring at Song Ning in disbelief.

  Song Zhi said nothing and looked at Huo Yao. “What is it going to take for you to help?”
