Chapter 738: Don’t You Have A Gift For Me?

Huo Yao nodded before glancing at the suitcase. “Are you done packing?”

Zhuo Yun acknowledged. “Almost done. The flight is for 6:00 pm tonight.” He paused before he pointed at the living room and said, “Yu is still upstairs. Why don’t you have a seat first? I will get you a drink.”

Huo Yao walked to the couch and sat down. There was a laptop on the coffee table. It was on with several videos showing on the screen.

From the looks of it, it seemed to be surveillance footage.

Huo Yao glanced at them before shifting her eyes and lowering them.

Before a minute was through, Zhuo Yun came over with a cup of warm water. He glanced at the laptop on the coffee table before putting down the water cup and turning the laptop away so that Huo Yao could not see the screen.

Yang Yi came down with his luggage and saw Huo Yao sitting there.

Yang Yi nodded to her politely before he pushed the communication device on his ear and said something softly. He proceeded to sit down on the other end of the couch before taking his laptop from the coffee table and placing it on his lap.

“He is not much of a talker, so don’t mind him,” said Zhuo Yun to Huo Yao when he saw this.

“Sure.” Huo Yao did not take it to heart and took a sip of the water.

Was Yang Yi talking about paintings?

She recalled her father talking about the ancient brush painting and calligraphy-themed exhibit recently with Min Yu. If she was not mistaken, her father attended the exhibit today. The exhibition was over, but the television network wanted to film the collection. Her father was selected as one of the lucky audience chosen to attend the exhibit.

Min Yu came downstairs dressed in a black coat, looking handsome. He looked cool and dignified. Also, he was holding a thick envelope in his hand.

He came up to Huo Yao and sat down beside her before handing her the envelope. “Grandpa wants to give you this.”

Huo Yao did not take the envelope right away. She tilted her head and raised her brow as she looked at Min Yu. “Is this a red packet?”

“Why don’t you take a look.” Min Yu’s voice sounded bright.

Huo Yao rapped her fingers on her knees but was unable to say no to money since she was broke. She reached her hand out and took the envelope to find it was thick and heavy. The moment she opened the envelope, her eyes lit up. “Old Master Min didn’t have to.”

Min Yu caught the expression on her face and coughed before he said, “It’s your red packet for the Chinese New Year.”

Huo Yao took out a small box from her sleeve. “Here is some incense for Old Master Min. Consider it a Chinese New Year gift.”

Min Yu raised his brow as he took the incense. “Don’t you have any gift for me?”

Huo Yao glanced at him.

Did he not know that presents cost money?

She placed the envelope in her coat pocket.

“When are you coming back?” asked Huo Yao.

Min Yu contemplated before he replied. “On the sixth day of the lunar calendar.”

Huo Yao nodded. She raised her hand to check the time. Since it was getting late, she stood and patted his shoulder. “Have a safe trip. Happy Chinese New Year.”

“Uh huh. You too.” Min Yu stood up as well.

“In that case, I’m going back. Bye,” said Huo Yao with her hands in her pockets.

Min Yu had texted her earlier to come over as he had something for her. Since she was not busy, she had come to the villa.

“Let me walk you out,” said Min Yu.

Huo Yao wanted to say no but changed her mind after glancing at him and headed to the door.

Yang Yi had not been paying attention to Min Yu and Huo Yao’s conversation.

He suddenly looked worried.

Just as they were about to leave, he said loudly, facing his laptop, “Someone is hacking into the exhibition hall surveillance.”
