Chapter 489: Looks Familiar

Pei Feng noticed that his father was unusually serious, so he nodded without hesitation. “Okay.”

Old Mr. Pei looked at Min Yu and said, “Young Master Min, Little Master Huo, I’m sorry that we have to leave. Feel free to drop by anytime.”

Old Mr. Pei turned to hurriedly leave without waiting for Min Yu and Huo Yao to respond back.

Huo Yao watched from behind as Old Mr. Pei left anxiously.

Yi Lianfan did not leave and stayed to talk to Huo Yao about the Math League. “About the Math League...”

After starting his sentence, Yi Lianfan abruptly halted and turned to look at Min Yu perplexedly.

Min Yu seemed to keep staring at Yi Lianfan, and it felt odd.

Since they were not well-acquainted, Yi Lianfan did not talk much to him and only nodded politely to Min Yu when they made eye contact.

Min Yu did not eat much, but he put food in Huo Yao’s bowl every now and then. He nodded to Yi Lianfan politely before he continued feeding Huo Yao.

Min Yu looked accustomed to this and must have done this often.

Yi Lianfan found this surprising and was suddenly curious about how Min Yu and Huo Yao were related.

The birthday boy, Old Mr. Yi, walked over with Yi Lianfan’s mother behind him.

Old Mr. Yi sat down next to Min Yu. “Young Master Min, there are a lot of guests today, so I’m really sorry if I was a poor host.”

Min Yu smiled and said politely, “You’re too kind, Old Mr. Yi.”

Old Mr. Yi smiled. He pointed at Yi Lianfan and said, “This stupid grandson of mine did the cooking tonight. How was the food?”

Yi Lianfan went quiet when his grandfather suddenly talked about him.

He had no clue that his grandfather had been telling outsiders that he was a good-for-nothing person.

Yi Lianfan furtively looked at Old Mr. Yi and wondered if he was his biological grandfather.

“It was good.” Min Yu’s voice sounded calm.

“I wanted him to learn from me, but he refused. Otherwise, he would be a much better cook.”

Although Old Mr. Yi was complaining about his grandson, he was proud inside.

Min Yu nodded before he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

It was Mrs. Yi’s first time seeing Min Yu. Although she was surprised by his powerful aura, most of her attention was on Huo Yao.

The girl was very pretty, and her eyes were especially bright, unsullied, and energetic. She was clearly a good and sensible kid.

Women tended to like good-looking things, and Mrs. Yi was no exception.

After looking at Huo Yao, she found the lass to be somewhat familiar.

Mrs. Yi felt as though she had seen Huo Yao before, even though she was certain they had never met.

Huo Yao detected Mrs. Yi’s gaze, so she raised her head and looked over.

Mrs. Yi was in her 40s, but her complexion was exceptionally well maintained. She had barely any wrinkles, and gave off a refined aura.

Huo Yao stopped scrutinizing her. She cleared her throat and greeted her politely. “Hi, Mrs. Yi.”

The young woman’s voice broke Mrs. Yi’s thoughts.
