Song Ning went quiet. She contemplated for a moment before turning the butler away. "We are holding a party for my daughter. I don't want anyone to ruin the banquet, so please leave. Let's just pretend none of this ever happened."
The butler noticed how determined Song Ning was. Since they were in public, there was no sense in making things ugly, so he did not insist upon staying. He simply sighed before he turned to leave.
Song Ning gradually shifted her eyes as she watched him leave the restaurant. Her good mood was entirely ruined.
Huo Yao came back empty-handed. "Mom, there is no phone in your bag."
Song Ning composed herself before turning to look at her daughter. "It slipped my mind. I forgot that the phone was with me."
Huo Yao went quiet.

The butler went back to the car and told Song Qi word by word what Song Ning had just said to him.
