The purpose of Pei Feng's utterance just now was to remind Huo Yao to pay attention to his identity, and of course it didn't mean to drive him away.
After all, the Pei family has always valued etiquette.
He stood up straight, put down his hands clasping his chest, and walked out the door without saying anything.
Seeing this, the butler wiped off his sweat, looked at Huo Yao again, and said in a low voice, "Miss Huo, Pei Feng has a straightforward personality, and his words are not malicious, you...don't think too much about it."
Huo Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, stepped into the door, "Yes."
Soon, the housekeeper took Huo Yao to the main hall.
At this time, apart from Mr. Pei, there was also a middle-aged man whom he didn't know sitting in the main hall. He looked about in his thirties, with rough eyebrows, a serious face, and a strong official atmosphere.
Huo Yao only glanced at it briefly and then looked away.
"Master Xiao Huo, you are finally here." When Mr. Pei saw Huo Yao, his face was filled with relieved hope.
He stood up, then turned his head and introduced to the middle-aged man sitting on the other side: "This is my little friend who is proficient in medical skills. Her surname is Huo."
The middle-aged man's eyes fell on Huo Yao, his eyes were piercingly sharp, and his expressionless face seemed to be examining the prisoner.
Standing there, Huo Yao's exquisite and picturesque face was as indifferent as ever, without any stage fright at all. When the middle-aged man saw this, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Few people can be as stable as Mount Tai under his gaze.
However, the middle-aged man still frowned, withdrew his gaze from looking at Huo Yao, and looked at Mr. Pei, "Are you sure, this... is it okay?"
What he heard the most from Mr. Pei today was the little friend he mentioned, and he couldn't help but ignite hope again.
It's just that after seeing the real person at this time, he didn't expect his little friend to be so young.
Looks like seventeen or eighteen years old at most
It's not that he deliberately looked down on people, seventeen or eighteen years old, and a little girl, what kind of medical skills can she be proficient in
There was more disappointment in Lin Shuwen's eyes, and he pressed his eyebrows. He didn't wait for Mr. Pei to say anything, and said again: "Didn't Mr. Pei say that he will be home soon? I'd better wait for Mr. Pei to see my husband."
When Mr. Pei heard the words, he understood that Lin Shuwen subconsciously resisted letting her see a doctor because he saw that Master Xiao Huo was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
In fact, he was deliberately implying Lin Shuwen today that he, a young friend who is proficient in medical skills, will be young, and there are so many foreshadowings ahead, just to avoid this situation. At this time, it seems that he has not avoided the past.
Mr. Pei glanced at Huo Yao, afraid that she would leave with a wave of his sleeves, coughed dryly, and said to Lin Shuwen, "Secretary Lin, believe me, Xiao Huo's medical skills are definitely better than mine."
Lin Shuwen was silent for a few seconds after hearing the words, and he still said, "Let's talk about it after Mr. Pei comes back."
The middle-level pharmacist of the Beijing Pharmacists Association, this prominent status alone is enough to see where his abilities are.
He didn't dare hand over his husband to an unknown little girl, he couldn't afford to bet.
Seeing this, Mr. Pei had no choice but to walk up to Huo Yao and whispered to him: "Master Xiao Huo, let's take a step to talk."
Huo Yao didn't get emotional because of the contempt revealed in Lin Shuwen's words, but he calmly glanced at Old Pei with a sad face, and replied: "Okay."
Good night everyone ~ see you tomorrow ~
