The look on He Xiaoman's face eased up a little. "Remember to tell me in advance next time. Otherwise, I will be worried."
"Uh huh," acknowledged Lu Xia softly. She walked into the living room and sat down on the couch absentmindedly.
He Xiaoman looked at Lu Xia and noticed her expression. She could not help asking quizzically. "What happened? Why do you look like you've lost your soul? "
Lu Xia picked up a pillow and hugged it to her chest. She curled up her legs on the couch and replied softly without looking at her. "Nothing."
He Xiaoman frowned. "Did someone bully you at work?"
"No," said Lu Xia as she shook her head. "Everyone is nice to me."
He Xiaoman had never seen such an expression on her daughter's face before. She could not help getting to the bottom of it. "Did something happen at school?"
He Xiaoman paused. A thought crossed her mind, and her face instantly darkened. "Did Huo Yao bully you?"
Lu Xia rested her head on the pillow without saying a word. She looked as though she had suffered a huge grievance.
He Xiaoman slammed the glass of water in her hand on the marble coffee table. "That wild girl is a scourge. Not only did she force your grandmother back to her hometown, but she's also trying to harm you at school. I really don't know how the Huo family raises their people."
Lu Ziming, who had just come down from the second floor, was startled when he heard the glass slam on the coffee table.
Lu Xia was also startled. She raised her head to look at He Xiaoman and forced a smile. "Mom, don't be angry. I'm really fine."
He Xiaoman became even more annoyed. "You are too kind. You don't even dare to speak up after being bullied!"
He Xiaoman shook her head. She picked up her phone and scrolled through the numbers as she sneered. "How can my daughter let others bully her? I have to call the Huo family and ask..."
Lu Xia's expression changed. She hurriedly put down the pillow in her hand and snatched the phone before He Xiaoman could make the call. "Mom, I'm really fine. You don't have to get angry over someone who has nothing to do with you."
He Xiaoman frowned. "Xiaxia, hurry up and give me the phone."
Lu Xia did not dare to give her the phone. She put it away and sat down next to her. She patted her mother's back gently and said softly, "Mom, I'm really fine. Don't misunderstand."
She paused for two seconds before she changed the topic. "Oh yes. The monthly test results are out. I scored 670 and ranked 10th in the grade."
The anger on He Xiaoman's face dissipated a little. "Your ranking has risen by four or five places compared to the end of last semester. Not bad."
Lu Xia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Huo Yao did not insist on calling the Huo family.
Lu Ziming, who had been eavesdropping on their conversation at the top of the staircase, burst into laughter when he heard the score. "You have to rely on someone who knows the answer in advance just to participate in the competition. 670 points... Tsk tsk. Who knows if it's real?"
Only then did Lu Xia notice Lu Ziming. When she heard him picking on her the moment he spoke, she instinctively mocked him. "Can you please think before you speak?"
. "I'm sorry. I don't know what a brain is." Lu Ziming waved his hand dismissively.
Lu Xia shook her head speechlessly. "Lu Ziming, you are so..."
Before Lu Xia could finish her sentence, He Xiaoman interrupted her. "Enough. Your younger brother is insensible, but you are. Why are you being stubborn? "
