Chapter 1174: What Inheritance?

Word about Huo Yao’s connection to the Song family quickly spread among the guests.
Even though the Song family was not the most influential family in town, they were middle-upper level. Since they had gone so far as to organize a banquet to introduce an unknown girl, Huo Yao must be an exceptional young woman.
All eyes turned to look at Huo Yao.
In an instant, she became the center of attraction at the banquet and everyone started talking about her.
Song Qi was holding champagne in her hand and felt pleased with the outcome.
Song Zhi went back to the banquet, looked around for Huo Yao, and walked toward her.
“Yao, when did you arrive? I was waiting for you downstairs, but did not see you.” Song Zhi was dressed in a tuxedo and was looking at Huo Yao genially.
Huo Yao placed her hands in her pockets casually and glanced at him mildly. “Are you ready to apologize?”
Song Zhi continued smiling as he said, “As for that, I will explain things after the banquet is over. You are the star tonight and I will introduce you to everyone in high society. I am sure this will be a real boon for your advancement.”
Huo Yao stood where she was without moving. The incandescent lamp overhead made her look even more serious. Moreover, Chen Ming was standing right beside her, looking murderous. Song Zhi could not help feeling intimidated.
“Mr. Song, have you forgotten something? If it has slipped your mind, I don’t mind helping you jog your memory a little,” said Chen Ming bluntly while he stood beside Huo Yao. He squeezed his fists until they popped audibly.
Song Zhi’s smile froze. He looked at Huo Yao for a few seconds and said, “If you are linked to the Song family, I promise that you will do brilliantly in the capital. Isn’t it good enough?”
He did not mention apologizing.
“Damn you! Miss Huo is from the Huo family. Who gives a damn about the Song family?” scoffed Chen Ming.
Song Zhi frowned when Chen Ming kept interrupting. Since Song Zhi was intimidated by Chen Ming, he could only do his utmost to ignore him. He looked at Huo Yao and continued. “Other than an apology, I can give you whatever you want.”
The two of them were talking at the center of the hall and a lot of guests were looking over. Some of Song Zhi’s close friends were even walking over.
Huo Yao squeezed her hands gently in her pockets. She smiled ambiguously. “Really? Anything at all?”
Song Zhi saw some friends walking over, so he did not repeat himself about the apology and simply said, “Yes.”
“Including the inheritance?” Huo Yao raised her brow and spoke airily.
The moment the guests heard about the inheritance, everyone looked at them.
It was common for influential families to have in-fighting for the sake of inheritance. Also, Old Master Song was unwell and it was public knowledge.
Song Zhi was stunned. He disregarded the staring and asked. “What inheritance?”
“What inheritance do you think I am talking about?” asked Huo Yao unhurriedly, glancing at Song Qi walking over.
Song Zhi looked at Song Qi and recalled something. His face froze briefly. “I don’t know what you are saying.”
Huo Yao laughed gently. She nodded and said, “From the looks of it, you have a lousy memory.”
Song Zhi frowned. He watched as Huo Yao took out her phone and tapped on its screen. After she was done, she put down her phone and his phone started to chime.
