An Insignificant Person
The rest of the Song family had caught wind that Song Zhi was acquainted with someone from the Apothecaries' Association. The apothecary even helped to treat Old Master Song. Song Zhi kept bragging among the family all this time.
No one would have thought that it was Ji Ya who had introduced them.
In an instant, some people looked at Ji Ya with complicated expressions on their faces.
Ji Ya noticed her uncles' expressions and frowned slightly.
She honestly did not like it when Uncle Zhi brought up the reference of the member of the Apothecaries' Association. Since they were surrounded by relatives today, she did not show it on her face.
She sat down beside her mother and said softly, "It's no big deal. The important thing was to treat Grandpa."
Song Zhi felt gleeful on seeing his cousins' reactions. He said, "He will definitely be fine. The hospital director already said the rate of success is very high."
Ji Ya took a sip of tea. She acknowledged him softly without continuing to talk.
"Fortunately, we managed to find suitable bone marrow. Otherwise, god knows what would happen to Dad. After all, my oldest sister is a cold-blooded creature and her daughter is equally unfilial…" Song Qi blurted accidentally.
In comparison, her daughter was the best.
The moment Song Zhi heard Song Qi talking about Song Ning's
Till date, he was unable to learn the whole truth from Butler Wang and Dr. Hu about the incident involving Song Ning's daughter.
It was simply a mystery.
Ji Ya raised her head, looked at her mother, and asked quizzically. "Which oldest sister? Which daughter?"
Song Qi had unintentionally blurted this earlier and she finally realized her mistake. She cleared her throat and said, "They are just some insignificant people."
Song Zhi looked at Song Qi and instinctively asked. "Didn't you tell your daughter she has an eldest aunt?"
"I felt it was unnecessary," said Song Qi as she kicked Song Zhi. She glanced at him deeply and hinted for him to stop talking about it.
Song Zhi laughed a couple of times and stopped talking about it. Instead, he stood up and walked over to press the bell for service so that they could send in the food.
Ji Ya asked quizzically. "Eldest aunt? Do I have another aunt?"
Song Qi poured her some tea. "We haven't been in touch for a long time. When your grandfather fell ill, I wanted to get her family to do a blood test. They ended up refusing to see us. Aren't they being cold-blooded?"
Ji Ya frowned on hearing this. "Well, it is really up to them. I can understand if they do not want to do it."
Song Qi glanced at her daughter and shook her head slightly. Her daughter was everything she could wish for, but she was simply too inflexible and honest for her own good.
Song Qi did not continue with the subject.
**
After Huo Yao came back from the bathroom, they sat briefly before leaving together.
When she was on her way downstairs, she encountered Butler Wang coming upstairs with a paper bag. He bumped into Huo Yao and Huo Changfeng at the stairs when he turned.
Butler Wang was unacquainted with Huo Changfeng and Huo Yulin, but he had a deep memory of Huo Yao.
His things nearly fell onto the ground when he got startled.
He certainly did not expect to encounter Song Ning's scary daughter here.
Butler Wang looked at Huo Yao in shock. His eyes were clearly filled with fear as he stood on the staircase without daring to budge.
Huo Changfeng and Huo Yulin both caught the butler's unusual reaction and glanced at him quizzically.
