Lu Xia had always been aware of her position in the Lu family. On the surface, the Lu couple seemed to dote on her. However, it was only because she had become famous after participating in the girl group talent show and made them proud.
Compared to her biological younger brother, Lu Ziming, no matter what she did or said, she would always be in the wrong as long as he was around.
She had deeply regretted coming back to the Lu family more than once. She had never suffered such grievances in the Huo family.
However … Lu Xia's heart was filled with hatred when she thought of her adoptive parents. They were so rich, yet they pretended to be poor. They were even more hypocritical and disgusting than her biological parents, who had fallen out with her.
Lu Xia inhaled deeply and suppressed the unbearable memories that flooded her mind.
He Xiaoman seemed to have realized that she was being overly biased. She patted the back of Lu Xia's hand and said softly, "Your little brother has a bad temper and doesn't think before he speaks. He doesn't mean any harm. You should give in to him."
Lu Xia's lips twitched. Her expression returned to normal and she casually acknowledged her.
Lu Ziming walked over and sat on the sofa's armrest lazily. He pretended to be bored and asked her. "How did that coward score this time?"
Lu Xia looked at him. She had no idea who he was talking about.
"What coward?" asked He Xiaoman quizzically.
Lu Ziming snorted coldly and said, "Lu Yao, the one who grew up in Grandma's house. Oh, I forgot that she changed her surname to Huo."
Lu Xia's eyes turned colder at the mention of Huo Yao.
"Why are you suddenly asking about her?" asked He Xiaoman.
Lu Ziming's eyes fluttered. "I'm curious. Didn't you guys always say that her grades are bad? I just want to know how bad she is! "
Although He Xiaoman was not interested in her adoptive daughter's grades, she turned to look at Lu Xia when she heard her youngest son's words.
Lu Xia had been upset all day because Huo Yao was the top student in the Cohort. Now that Lu Ziming asked her about it again, she immediately sounded annoyed. "I'm not in the same class as her. How would I know how she scored?"
Lu Ziming's eyes rolled when he noticed that she had suddenly become angry. He said in a doubtful tone, "Really? Then why did you look like you were bullied and wronged by her when you just came back? "
When Lu Xia heard this, her eyes instinctively landed on He Xiaoman's face. When she noticed that He Xiaoman's expression darkened again, she could not help cursing Lu Ziming endlessly in her heart.
She had finally managed to distract He Xiaoman from calling the Huo Family to question them, but this idiot had actually brought the topic back. He was truly … a world-class little brother!
Lu Xia took a deep breath and hurriedly softened her tone. "Of course not. I'm not close to her. Why would I pay attention to her?"
Lu Xia paused before her eyes landed on Lu Ziming. "You, on the other hand, seem to care about her a lot."
"Who cares about her? Don't talk nonsense. " Lu Ziming was afraid that Lu Xia would tell her about how he had been beaten up by Huo Yao at No.1 Middle School, so he stood up and left as quickly as he could.
Lu Xia averted her eyes in a mocking manner.
He Xiaoman did not notice the undercurrent between the two of them. She suddenly recalled something when Lu Xia mentioned her grades. She looked at Lu Xia and said, "Oh yes. I forgot to ask you. Did Huo Yao get eliminated in the National Quiz Contest?"
Lu Ziming had just taken a step up the stairs when he suddenly heard this. He stopped in his tracks and turned around.
