Chapter 1212 - He Would Live To Regret This

Huo Yao remained composed. She kept her hand on the page and simply said, “There are a lot of different branches of specialty in Science, but they are also very closely related, so it helps me if I learn as much as I can.”

Yuan Xi quietly glanced at Huo Yao after she spouted some nonsense.

If she did not know about Huo Yao’s plans to do a second major, she might have fallen for Huo Yao’s confident sounding excuse as well.

Mu Qing looked at Huo Yao and suddenly smiled. “That makes absolute sense.”

Huo Yao didn’t react but Mu Qing did not take it to heart and quickly left from there.

After he was gone, Yuan Xi finally came closer to Huo Yao’s book and took a look at it. “The Physics books you are reading are getting harder and harder to understand.”

Yuan Xi could still understand a little bit of the previous books which Huo Yao was reading, but not anymore.

Yuan Xi sighed and said in a defeated voice, “Is this what it is like to be a true genius?”

Huo Yao rubbed Yuan Xi’s head.

Yuan Xi sighed deeply.

Huo Yao shook her head before veering her eyes. She could feel her phone vibrating in her pocket.

She took out her phone and noticed a new text message.

Chairman Wang had written: [It’s the Apothecaries’ exam tomorrow. Are you really not coming?]

It was not Chairman Wang’s first time telling Huo Yao about the exam. She quickly composed a reply: [I have exams at school, so I can’t make it tomorrow.]

Even if she was free, she was not interested in going over.

Chairman Wang replied: [The exam is held only once a year. If you miss it, the next one is happening next year, okay?]

Huo Yao’s cheeks twitched. She typed: [If I miss my school exam, I can’t say for sure if I can retake it next year.]

Chairman Wang sighed yet again. He quickly told the assistant to compose a reply: [That’s too bad then.]

Huo Yao replied: [Uh huh.]

The assistant looked at Chairman Wang and said, “Perhaps she is genuinely not free. If she does not show up for the exam and comes back with a zero, she might not be able to graduate on time.”

Chairman Wang waved his hand. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. He suddenly said, “Oh yes. Can you ask Huo Yao if He Shu has spoken to her?”

The assistant nodded.

Chairman Wang sat on the mahogany chair rubbing the tea cup in his hand. “Oh yes. What has He Shu been up to lately?”

“I think he has been busy working in the pharmaceutical laboratory. He even caused the medicine maker to explode.

It was normal for an apothecary to encounter medicine maker explosions. However, it usually only happened to rookies. Chairman Wang said, “Is he trying to come up with some new medicine?”

The assistant was not sure himself. “I did not ask him.”

Chairman Wang’s phone pinged in the assistant’s hand. He tapped on it to check the message before showing it to Chairman Wang.

Huo Yao had sent a screenshot.

It was a screenshot of the chat she had with He Shu previously.

Chairman Wang saw a screenshot of his disciple proudly telling Huo Yao that he did not need her help. He rubbed his forehead.

He put down his hand and said angrily, “I introduced him to a professional and this is how he repays me? No wonder his medicine maker exploded. It’s karma I tell you.”

He deserved it.

The assistant cleared his throat. “He has always been a proud man. Perhaps he simply wants to create medicine by himself.”

Chairman Wang shook his head. “Just look at him. He will live to regret this.”

The assistant quietly glanced at Chairman Wang. It was not the first time Chairman Wang had spoken so highly of Huo Yao.
