The butler came back from answering the phone while Huo Yao pondered. He looked at Master Jinfeng and walked up beside him. He bent over and said a few words to him.

Huo Jinfeng frowned after hearing what the butler said. He replied mildly. "I'm not seeing him."

"Got it." The butler nodded and seemed to have anticipated it. "I will tell him."

Huo Jinfeng waved his hand.

Huo Yao watched as the butler walked off and said understandingly, "Eldest Uncle, if you have something to attend to, you can go ahead."

"No, I'm good. I have nothing to attend to." Huo Jinfeng smiled.

Even if he were busy, his work could not compare to spending time with his niece.

"Okay." Huo Yao rubbed the gift box in her hands gently. At this moment, a maid came over with a glass of water. Huo Yao took the glass of water politely and thanked the maid.

After taking a sip of water, her phone rang in her pocket.

It was a new WeChat text message.

Since Huo Yao was in the presence of elders, it was rude to check her phone, so she did not look at her text message.

Roughly 10 minutes later, she suddenly received a voice call, so she took out her phone.

After checking the caller ID, a look of surprise swept across Huo Yao's face.

She did not seem entirely surprised by the call.

"Eldest Uncle, pardon me. I have to answer the phone." Huo Yao held her phone and stood up.

"Uh huh," replied Huo Jinfeng.

Huo Yao nodded and walked out of the hall. After walking over to the corridor in the small garden, she answered the phone.

By then, the call had already got disconnected, so she dialed back.

Before long, someone answered the phone.

"Aunt Tong, did you call?" Huo Yao looked at the garden and spoke.

Shangguan Tong breathed gently. After some time, she parted her lips and said, "Yu, where are you now?"

Huo Yao raised her brow and turned her head. She looked at the living room through the glass window and replied. "I'm at Country M attending an academic conference."

"Is that so? No wonder. I was wondering why the picture in your social media didn't look local." Shangguan Tong's throat felt a little dry. Her grip on the phone had unknowingly tightened very hard.

Huo Yao nodded. "Uh huh. Aunt Tong, you certainly have sharp eyes. You noticed the difference right away."

A sad look emerged in Shangguan Tong's eyes. She naturally recognized the building.

How could she not recognize it?

The only hope and motivation in her life could be found there. Even though she knew it was impossible for her to ever go there…

"Aunt Tong, I'm sure you didn't call me just to ask about the picture, right?" asked Huo Yao somewhat quizzically.

Shangguan Tong always knew that Yu was very observant. She inhaled deeply and replied. "I was just curious about where the picture was taken."

Huo Yao raised her brow. She knew Shangguan Tong could not resist asking about this. She cleared her throat and said softly, "To be honest, this is my eldest uncle's place, Aunt Tong."

The moment Shangguan Tong heard what she said, she was stunned. She raised her voice and asked her. "What did you just say?"

When she saw the picture Huo Yao posted on social media 20 minutes ago, she kept wondering why Huo Yao would post this picture.

Shangguan Tong even wondered if Huo Yao already discovered her secret, so she took a picture and posted it online trying to attract her attention.
