Mu Qing clearly seemed a lot more courteous this time when he looked at Huo Yao. He praised Huo Yao for her extraordinary speech with utter sincerity.
Jiang Mingyue clenched her fists slightly. Mu Qing certainly did not show her the same degree of enthusiasm earlier.
Huo Yao failed to notice Jiang Mingyue's mood. She simply raised her hand to check the time and said politely, "Thanks. I have to get back to class."
She glanced at Yi Feiyu and nodded before leaving.
Principal Yu pulled open the curtain and came backstage. He immediately called Huo Yao when he caught her leaving. "Huo Yao."
The moment Huo Yao heard Principal Yu's voice, she halted in her steps and turned to look at him quizzically.
Principal Yu smiled and said, "Don't leave after school. I booked a table, so you have to come by and have dinner with the alumni."
"Huh? Not tonight." Huo Yao shook her head. "I have something going on at home. Why don't you go ahead?"
