Chapter 26 Is your Lu family the richest family in the world?
"Mom, I know my limits. Don't worry. It's okay." Lu Xia said softly. After a two-second pause, she continued, "There's something strange. Mom, didn't you say Huo Yao's grades were terrible?"
He Xiaoman closed her eyes and enjoyed her daughter's massage. After a while, she said calmly, "Well, what's wrong?"
Lu Xia didn't stop and said tentatively, "It seems like she is going to study in No. 1 Middle School."
He Xiaoman opened her eyes suddenly after hearing this, and turned her body to the side, looking back at Lu Xia standing behind her, with an incredible expression, "What did you say?"
Lu Xia looked at the surprised expression on her mother's face, with a hint of suspicion in her eyes. "The eldest brother of the Huo family came to me last night and told me that Huo Yao would be studying at the No. 1 Middle School in the city, and asked me to take care of her privately."
Lu Xia's eyes flickered slightly, "Mom, did you and Dad ask someone for help? Otherwise, how could she get into No. 1 Middle School?"
"How is that possible? With her grades, not to mention No. 1 Middle School, even ordinary middle schools may not be able to accept her. If your father and I really look for someone to help, wouldn't it be a disgrace to our Lu family?" He Xiaoman sneered.
"You didn't help, then how did she get into No. 1 Middle School..." Lu Xia's face was slightly curious.
He Xiaoman's face darkened, and her tone was also heavy, "Are you sure this is true?"
Lu Xia nodded, "It's absolutely true. The eldest brother of the Huo family said it himself. He wouldn't lie to me."
He Xiaoman sat up straight, and after a moment of silence, she picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table.

Huo Yao was fiddling with a bunch of instruments that looked quite ancient when suddenly the cell phone on the bed rang. She paused, glanced sideways, then looked away and continued working on the thing she was almost done with, ignoring it.
However, after the phone rang once, the person looking for her didn't seem to give up, and the ringing continued.
Huo Yao's eyes were focused and not distracted by the phone. She quickly put the things she extracted from the instruments into the porcelain bottle, and then she took off her gloves slowly.
The phone was still ringing. This time Huo Yao did not ignore it. She walked to the bed, picked up the phone, and looked at the caller ID on the screen. She was stunned.
Her fingertips paused for a moment, and soon she lightly swiped the phone. As soon as the call was connected, she heard He Xiaoman's exasperated voice, "I called you countless times, why didn't you answer?"
Huo Yao moved the phone away from her ear. Facing her adoptive mother's questioning, she simply asked indifferently, "What's the matter?"
He Xiaoman's expression became even uglier. "What's your attitude?!"
Huo Yao rubbed his swollen brows and didn't have the time to listen to her nagging. "I'll hang up if there's nothing else."
He Xiaoman knew that her adopted daughter's personality seemed to have changed in the past year. She became completely rebellious and was now a completely different person, so she didn't say anything more.
"I don't know what means you used to get the qualification to enter No. 1 Middle School, but what I want to tell you is that I don't want you to appear in No. 1 Middle School. Your existence will only be a joke of No. 1 Middle School and a joke of our Lu family."
"Except No. 1 Middle School, you can choose any middle school in this city. Our Lu family can use our connections to get you in, and we can also help you pay for your tuition. But the premise is that you are not allowed to tell anyone that you were once a child of our Lu family!"
When Huo Yao heard these words, he suddenly raised his eyebrows playfully and asked seriously: "Is your Lu family the richest in the world?"
Foster mother: You are the joke of our Lu family... Later, well, it smells really good.
