Chapter 667: The brother-sister relationship of more than ten years is just like this
downstairs.
"Mr. Huo may be busy."
The receptionist held the phone and waited until she heard that no one was answering the call. Then she hung up and apologized to Lu Xia who was standing there.
She knew Lu Xia and knew that she was the boss's sister, but because the other party did not have an appointment and she was mindful of the company's rules, she did not dare to let her in.
Lu Xia clenched her cell phone tightly. Although she had already expected the result from the fact that Huo Yanxi never answered the phone after she had called him five or six times, she still held on to the last glimmer of hope and asked the front desk to try calling from the landline.
Now... this last glimmer of hope was shattered, and Lu Xia smiled self-deprecatingly.
She originally thought that Huo Yanxi would be a bit more humane, but in the end she was overthinking it.
She is just an adopted sister. No matter how good their relationship was in the past, she is probably not even one ten-millionth as good as a biological sister.
Perhaps she noticed that Lu Xia was in a low mood. When the receptionist wanted to comfort her, she looked up and saw the boss's assistant walking out of the elevator, so she waved to him.
"Assistant Wang."
Assistant Wang raised his head. He only saw Lu Xia's profile, not his front. He paused for a moment and then walked towards the front desk. "What's wrong?"
When he got closer, he saw Lu Xia and was stunned for a moment.
I just mentioned the Lu family upstairs, and now they come to my door... Assistant Wang is also a smart person. Thinking about the Lu family's situation and the boss's sudden change of mood in the office just now, he probably guessed that the call must be related to the Lu family.
"This, Mr. Huo's sister is here to see him. Is Mr. Huo busy? I just called the internal line and no one answered." said the receptionist.
Lu Xia looked at Assistant Wang. His eyes were haggard and dim, and his face was very pale. He looked very miserable and pitiful.
Assistant Wang's forehead throbbed, and he nodded to Lu Xia, then said, "Boss Huo has a business dinner and is not in the company right now."
The receptionist was puzzled when she heard this, "Uh, I've been downstairs and didn't see Mr. Huo..."
Assistant Wang coughed dryly and interrupted her: "Then you may not have noticed that Mr. Huo is indeed not in the company."
"...Okay, maybe I went to the bathroom and didn't notice." The receptionist explained.
"Yes." Assistant Wang looked at Lu Xia again and said politely, "Ms. Lu, do you have anything to say to Mr. Huo? I can tell him."
Lu Xia twitched the corner of his lips and replied coldly: "No need."
How could she not understand that the assistant was looking for an excuse to get rid of people?
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked away. However, after taking two steps, she stopped again and turned back to look at Assistant Wang. "Please tell Huo Yanxi that this kind of killing style is nothing more than the relationship between the siblings of more than ten years."
Assistant Wang frowned slightly as he looked at Lu Xia's back as she walked away.
Kill them all?
Isn’t this a bit serious?
Didn't their boss do anything well?
After thinking about it, Assistant Wang finally sent the message that Lu Xia asked him to convey to Huo Yanxi via WeChat.
*
Lu Xia stood on the side of the road, not knowing where to go. Looking at the passing vehicles, many images suddenly flashed through his mind.
The memories of living in the Huo family during those years seemed to become particularly clear at this moment.
The picture does not show the cautious life in the Lu family, nor the cold family relationships in the Lu family. Although she is willful, she is loved by her parents and tolerated by her brother...
Lu Xia's eyes were sore and he finally regretted it.
It’s a pity that regret is no use now. From the moment she chose to return to the Lu family, the current ending was doomed.
The warm times we once had will never come back.
See you at 8pm.
