Lu Xia did not expect He Xiaoman to ask about the contest again. She was stunned for a moment before she replied. "... I think she advanced."
He Xiaoman frowned when she heard this. "She didn't get eliminated even with her results?"
Lu Xia went quiet for two seconds before she said, "Actually, I told you last time that her results weren't that bad."
He Xiaoman vaguely remembered it, but she did not take it to heart. She merely said, "The next contest is coming soon, right? Take a good look at the information your dad got from his friend at the Education Association. "
Lu Xia lowered her eyes. "Uh huh. I will. I'm going back to my room."
"Okay. Go ahead." He Xiaoman waved her hand.

Song Ning and Huo Jinyan had been busy with the villa renovations for the past two days, so they left early and returned late. They were worried that they would not be able to take care of their daughter, so they hired a part-time helper to cook for Huo Yao.
Huo Yao had just returned home from school.
The helper had already prepared dinner. When she saw Huo Yao, she took off her apron and said, "Yaoyao, I have something urgent to attend to at home, so I have to go. Oh yes, I received a package for you in the afternoon. I left it in the locker."
She pointed at the locker and left in a hurry without waiting for Huo Yao's reply.
Huo Yao put down her bag unhurriedly and glanced at the locker. She was in no hurry to open it.
Huo Yao turned to look at the three dishes and a soup on the table. She took out her phone and called Huo Tingrui.
Huo Tingrui had been coming home for dinner every day, so he would usually be home by now.
Huo Tingrui answered before long. "Yao, I won't be coming home for dinner tonight. I have to go on a business trip for a few days."
Huo Yao could hear the anxiety in Huo Tingrui's voice. She frowned and asked him. "Did something happen?"
Huo Tingrui was stunned. He did not expect his little sister to ask him this question. His eyes dimmed slightly as he said, "Nothing serious. Don't worry."
The airport staff was urging him to board the plane, so Huo Tingrui hurriedly said, "Brother Tingrui has to board the plane. I'm hanging up now. I'll talk to you later."
Huo Yao frowned but did not probe further. Instead, she said softly, "Mhm. Let me know if you need any help."
Huo Tingrui smiled and did not take it to heart. "Sure."
Soon, he hung up the phone.
The airport notice from the phone just now seemed to be going to M Country?
Huo Yao contemplated for a while before putting down her phone.
Song Ning and Huo Jinyan came home earlier than usual. Huo Yao had just sat down to eat when they walked in.
As they walked, they were still discussing the renovation. However, when they were about to reach their daughter, both of them stopped talking.
Huo Yao looked at them quizzically. "You..."
Song Ning giggled. "We've already had dinner."
Huo Jinyan replied, "Yup!"
"..."
Song Ning casually tossed her bag onto a cabinet and glanced around the living room. "Eh? Your second older brother isn't home today?"
That guy had been going home on time to accompany his sister for the past few days, so he was not used to not seeing him.
"He's on a business trip." She did not mention that she might be going abroad, but she did not mention that she had overheard over the phone.
"Business trip again …" Song Ning murmured. She didn't look surprised, as if she was used to his frequent business trips.
