Chapter 566: Stealing Prescription

Huo Yao placed the pill bottle back on the table. She looked sideways at Pei Feng and smiled. “Did you make these pills using my prescription?”

Pei Feng felt so uneasy when Huo Yao made eye contact with him, so he forgot about reaching for the pills.

He knew that his older brother had made these pills using Huo Yao’s prescription.

So what? It did not matter as long as it could treat the patient.

The moment Old Mr. Pei heard this, his eyes hastily landed on Huo Yao’s face. Two seconds later, he looked at the bottle of medicine on the table.

He swiftly hurried over and did not even stop when he walked into a chair. Lin Shuwen was so anxious that he swiftly stood up to help him out of concern. He was worried that the old man might fall.

Old Mr. Pei failed to notice Lin Shuwen’s actions. Instead, he walked over to the pills, picked up the medicine, and opened the cap to smell its contents.

Although he was not an apothecary, he was well versed in medical knowledge, so he almost instantly recognized its ingredients.

Old Mr. Pei thought about how Pei Rong kept staying in the pharmaceutical laboratory working nonstop. He merely said he was doing some research when Old Mr. Pei had asked him and did not give much detail. Old Mr. Pei had stopped probing him after a point.

It turned out he was concocting medicine using Huo Yao’s prescription.

Old Mr. Pei leaned against the edge of the table and did not know what to say for the first time in his life. If it was just simple research, it did not matter. Now it was clearly more than research. He ended up stealing Huo Yao’s prescription and claimed it as his own.

Old Mr. Pei swayed and failed to keep his grip on the bottle, so it fell onto the ground with a clang and its contents spilled everywhere.

Pei Feng hurriedly stood up and walked over to Old Mr. Pei. Before he uttered a word, Old Mr. Pei slapped him. “You are a disgrace! An absolute disgrace!”

Old Mr. Pei shook his head with his voice somewhat hoarse and his face bleak and disappointed.

Why did the Pei family end up with such despicable people?

Pei Feng did not dare to speak. Initially, he wanted to just give Fang Chen the medicine in front of Huo Yao. He did not foresee Fang Chen turning down his offer or Huo Yao checking the pills.

The situation became really awkward.

Huo Yao sighed. She picked up the pill bottle and placed it on the table.

It was no big deal to use the prescription for pills. However, the pill refinement skills were really indescribably bad.

Min Yu glanced at Huo Yao. Even though she looked completely normal, he could sense that she was losing her patience.

Min Yu glanced at Pei Feng with his eyes cold. Old Mr. Pei was the only person in the Pei family who actually had some talent.

Min Yu slowly stood up and casually placed his hand on Huo Yao’s shoulder. Huo Yao turned her head sideways to look at him.

“Didn’t you want to go to the library?” said Min Yu calmly.

Huo Yao blinked before she nodded. “Okay. Let’s go.”

Min Yu acknowledged before he turned to look at the old man. “Old Mr. Pei, see you around.”

None of them brought up the origin of the pills on account of Old Mr. Pei.

Old Mr. Pei looked at Huo Yao with both hands leaning on the table as he struggled to steady himself. He no longer had the cheek to keep her, so he said with great difficulty, “... Okay.”

Min Yu took Huo Yao’s jacket from the clothes rack and handed it to her. Before long, they walked out of the private room together.

Although they had said nothing, Old Mr. Pei was acutely aware there was no way his boys could mend ties with Huo Yao after this.
