Chapter 959: Who Is She?
Yuan Xi watched as Huo Yao got into the car before she slowly got into hers.
Yuan Xi sat in the back seat with her head lowered. A minute later, she noticed the car had yet to leave. She could not help raising her head to look at the young man sitting in the driver’s seat.
She paused for a couple of seconds before she asked. “Why aren’t we leaving yet?”
Yuan Huan kept looking into the rearview mirror. It seemed as though he did not hear Yuan Xi when she spoke. He finally moved his gaze after the car disappeared out of his sight and started the engine.
“What took you so long?” asked Yuan Huan mildly in a cold tone. He had a gorgeous face and slightly soft features. There was a black ring on his left index finger as he placed his hand on the steering wheel.
Yuan Xi pursed her lips and turned to look out the car window. “I had class.”
Yuan Huan reversed the car as he looked up and asked. “Who was that girl? Is she your classmate?”
Yuan Xi frowned when Yuan Huan suddenly brought up Huo Yao. She asked him in return. “Is it any of your business?”
Yuan Huan did not get angry. Instead, he continued asking calmly. “Who is she?”
Yuan Xi had her hands on her knees when she suddenly squeezed them slightly. She veered her eyes from the car window and looked at Yuan Huan coldly. “What’s wrong with you?”
Yuan Huan smiled. “From the looks of it, she is a very close friend, no less. What is her name?”
Yuan Xi squeezed her hands even more tightly. After some time, she finally loosened her grip. She stopped looking at him or answering any of his questions.
Yuan Huan was her half-brother and they shared the same father. On the surface, everyone thought he was a gentleman. She alone knew he was a madman.
Yuan Xi felt very annoyed. She certainly did not expect him to pick her up today. He even asked about Huo Yao.
Yuan Huan looked at Yuan Xi profoundly. Since she refused to speak, he did not insist on asking and simply reached his hand out to play some music in the car.

Meanwhile, in the other car.
Huo Yao sat in the front passenger seat texting on her phone. After some time, she raised her head and looked at Min Yu sitting in the driver’s seat and asked him. “Someone wants to buy me dinner. Are you free?”
Min Yu’s left hand was leaning against the car window. He turned sideways at Huo Yao and glanced at her lazily without saying a word.
Huo Yao cleared her throat before she said, “We are meeting at the same private home-cooking restaurant.”
“Okay,” acknowledged Min Yu. He signaled and turned at the cross junction.
They arrived at the restaurant 20 minutes later.
The restaurant owner could still remember Huo Yao. She was stunning and it was also her third time at the restaurant.
The restaurant owner led them to a private room.
Lei Xiao had invited her to dinner. The moment he saw Huo Yao, he stood up and smiled as he walked over. “Hi…”
Before he was able to greet her, his voice got stuck when he made eye contact with the man standing behind Huo Yao.
Lei Xiao did not know Min Yu. However, judging from Min Yu’s imposing aura, he was no ordinary man. Moreover, there was an intimidating look in Min Yu’s eyes.
Huo Yao glanced at Lei Xiao after he was dumbstruck by Min Yu’s presence. She raised her brow before moving sideways slightly and pointing to Min Yu. “This is my friend, Min Yu..”
