Chapter 114 Must Crush Huo Yao in All Aspects
Huo Yanxi on the other end of the phone was silent for two seconds after hearing this, then he said slowly and calmly, "I have a few friends here, and they may have other plans later. They are all grown men, so it's not very convenient to bring my little sister with them. How about we make an appointment another day?"
Hearing this, Huo Tingrui just said casually: "Okay, I'm still driving, I'll hang up first."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Tingrui calmed down, turned his head and looked at Huo Yao. He didn't mention his elder brother at all, but said in a ruffian way: "Little cutie, have you decided where to eat?"
Little cutie?
The corners of Huo Yao's lips twitched, and her expression became inexplicably complicated. Her second brother was a bit naughty.
"Forget it, let's go home. My parents must be waiting." She shook her head and replied.
Huo Tingrui thought about it, but did not insist. After all, there was no need to celebrate on this day. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow would also be fine.
In short, a sweet date with your sister must be arranged for a reason.

When Lu Xia returned to the Lu family, it was almost seven o'clock.
He Xiaoman had just arrived home. She was holding a glass of water in her hand and looked at her daughter in confusion, "Why did you come back so late today?"
"I was delayed by something at school." Lu Xia was upset, so he spoke absentmindedly and did not mention that he had been to the hospital.
He Xiaoman did not doubt him. After sitting down on the sofa, she seemed to think of something and said, "The results of your competition are out today, right?"
Lu Xia had just put down her small bag. When she heard He Xiaoman's question, her eyes darkened. "Yes, it's out. 186 points. I'm ranked tenth in the country."
He Xiaoman frowned when she heard this and turned her head to look at her. "Didn't you rank sixth last time? Why are you only ranked tenth this time?"
Lu Xia seemed to have guessed that she would ask this question, and replied calmly: "The preliminary exam is different from the official preliminaries. The difficulty coefficient is much higher. In addition, there are many people who tied for sixth place with me in the preliminary exam last time. There are more than 120 students in the country. I can get into the top ten, and there is a great hope that I can enter the national finals."
Although He Xiaoman didn't understand the situation of this kind of competition, she felt it was indeed amazing that she could be in the top ten among more than 120 students.
After all, she also knew that the participants in this competition were top students from all over the country.
He Xiaoman's expression softened instantly. "Mom didn't understand. I thought your grades had dropped this time. Now it seems that my daughter is really excellent."
Lu Xia lowered his eyes and said nothing. He just walked to the sofa next to him and sat down, slowly pressing his hand between his eyebrows.
"By the way, how are Huo Yao's grades?" He Xiaoman put down the water cup in her hand and asked casually.
Lu Xia paused for a moment, and replied subconsciously: "I don't know about this, I haven't paid much attention to it."
When He Xiaoman thought about the embarrassment she had in front of the doctor and dean because of her adopted daughter, her eyes turned cold. "Xia Xia, you are your mother's pride. You must crush Huo Yao in every aspect. Do you understand?"
When Lu Xia heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her eyes. That country girl had ranked first in both exams. How did she crush her? What did she use to crush her?
Lu Xia pulled the corners of his lips in self-mockery and said nothing, just a perfunctory "hmm".
He Xiaoman didn't notice Lu Xia's expression. After thinking for a while, she said, "How about this? During this time, Mom will hire a tutor for you so that you can concentrate on reviewing."
