When Song Ning was little, she would bring her younger daughter to gatherings with her close friends. Her close friends would stare at her and her younger daughter's faces and tease them. They would say that they had been swapped at the wrong place and that they did not look like each other at all.
It was not that her adopted daughter was not good-looking. It was just that the children in the family were all adorable and Lu Xia looked too ordinary compared to her older brothers. Moreover, both she and her husband were very good-looking, so her close friends would inevitably tease her.
Now that she thought about it, she realized that her words had come true. Song Ning gathered her thoughts and called out softly. "Yaoyao."
Huo Yao looked indifferent as usual. She did not seem excited to see her biological parents. She merely nodded at her politely.
Lu Xia noticed Huo Yao's cold demeanor. She rolled her eyes and spoke up for her. "Mom, Yaoyao just came back from the countryside. She might not be used to it yet."
Song Ning had interacted with Huo Yao a few months ago. She could tell that Huo Yao was cold and aloof, so she did not think much of it other than feeling a little disappointed that Huo Yao did not call her mom.
After all, Lu Xia had been swapped at the wrong place and was raised in a small county. Now that she was back with her biological family, she would need some time to adapt.
There was no rush.
A complicated look flashed across Song Ning's face when she glanced at Lu Xia. She quickly put on an indifferent and distant smile and said, "Xiaxia, it must have been hard on you tonight. You even went to the airport to pick Yaoyao up. It's getting late. I'm afraid your biological parents won't be happy if they know you're here."
After a pause, Song Ning's eyes landed on her eldest son. "Yan Xi, take Miss Lu back."
She had addressed Lu Xia as' Xiaxia 'and then' Miss Lu '. Lu Xia's face instantly turned red. She opened her mouth and instinctively wanted to say something. "Mom..."
Song Ning looked at Lu Xia. She could not help feeling a little upset, but she did not show it.
Song Ning composed herself and the smile on her face became even more distant. Before Lu Xia could say anything, she interrupted her. "Call me Auntie Song from now on. It's more appropriate."
Huo Yao raised her brow in surprise.
Song Ning was elegant and dignified. Although she was in her fifties, there were very few wrinkles on her face. She looked like she was in her thirties at most. Although she was smiling, there was a domineering aura in her eyes that could not be ignored.
It was an aura that was rarely found in ordinary women.
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes and fell into deep thought.
Lu Xia looked at her foster mother. She felt humiliated and embarrassed. She bit her lip. Her eyes were misty and her face was pale as if she had been greatly wronged.
She couldn't understand why the person who had once doted on her so much would suddenly become so bitter. Was it just because his own daughter had returned?
If that was the case, then it was too hypocritical!
Lu Xia felt cheated.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Ahem." Huo Jinyan, who had been silent all this while, cleared his throat and said, "Yanxi, take Xiao Xia home first."
Although it had broken the stalemate, it inexplicably made people feel even more awkward.
Huo Yanxi nodded in agreement.
Although he did not understand why his parents did not allow Lu Xia to stay at home, he did not ask.
