Chapter 1188: A Chance Encounter

Chen Ming had given Song Zhi a day to sort out the inheritance. He sent men to see Song Zhi a day later, but they got driven out of Song Zhi’s property.

Chen Ming called Huo Yao to update her about it.

Song Ning had forced Huo Yao to go shopping, so they were at the mall when he called. Huo Yao glanced at Song Ning while the latter checked out some jewelry. Huo Yao quietly left the store and answered the phone.

Chen Ming told Huo Yao about the situation. “Since he refuses to hand over the inheritance, shall we…”

He stopped mid sentence.

Huo Yao leaned against a glass railing in the atrium, tapping her fingers gently and said slowly, “Uncle Ming, please handle it then.”

Chen Ming pondered and asked. “Would Madam get upset if we touched them?”

Huo Yao looked up at the jewelry shop window display and veered her eyes. She told him gently, “Competition happens all the time. If it was not us, it could be anyone else.”

Chen Ming cleared his throat. Miss Huo was undoubtedly an educated young woman. Even though the chief steward kept claiming to be civilized, they were getting sick of hearing it.

They did not talk for long and quickly hung up the phone.

Huo Yao put away the phone. She leaned against the railing with her elbows and stood quietly for a while until Song Ning waved for her from inside the jewelry shop. Huo Yao finally walked over.

Song Ning had already selected dozens of sets of jewelry for her. They were all the latest designs. She was holding a diamond necklace in her hand. She put it on her daughter’s neck and said, “Try this.”

Huo Yao looked at the huge dazzling diamond on the necklace and smiled like a pauper. “Never mind. I am already wearing a necklace.”

She pulled out the necklace under her black sweater and showed it to her.

“It’s jewelry, so the more the merrier.” Song Ning forced Huo Yao to put on the necklace. She checked out the necklace a couple of times before she nodded and responded. “This looks okay. Let’s try some more.”

Huo Yao went speechless.

After trying a few sets of jewelry, Huo Yao could no longer take it. She pretended that she needed to use the bathroom and left the jewelry store.

When Huo Yao was on her way to the bathroom, she thought to herself. She was genuinely not built for shopping.

She would rather hang out at home and read any day.

Huo Yao spent ten minutes in the bathroom. Song Ning had already paid for the jewelry by the time she got back. There were dozens of small boxes in her huge shopping bag.

Huo Yao looked at the store manager as he beamed from ear to ear. She wondered if the guy would beat her up if she asked for a refund now.

Before long, Song Ning dragged Huo Yao into the next store to buy more luxury goods. Song Ning’s daughter hated shopping, so it was hard for Song Ning.

Now that Song Ning was in the capital, it was only right for her to help stock up for her daughter.

Meanwhile, Song Qi could finally relax now that her father was on the road to recovery. She told her husband to go shopping with her.

She had not gone to the mall in half a month, so she had bought quite a few things.

Just when she was about to enter her favorite luxury boutique, she saw Song Ning inside the store picking out clothes through the window.

Song Ning was well maintained, so her complexion was in far better condition than any of the other rich ladies in high society. Also, she had a very elegant aura.

Song Qi frowned and halted in her steps. She did not expect to encounter Song Ning at the mall of all people.

Song Qi stood where she was without moving. Her husband had taken a couple of steps when he noticed she did not catch up. He turned to look at her and asked quizzically. “What’s wrong?”
