The Principal's expression changed when he heard Lu Xia's explanation. He pursed his lips and walked to the window with his hands behind his back.
"I'm curious to know what your father thinks about this," said the Principal calmly.
Lu Xia looked at the Principal's back. Somehow, she felt a little uneasy. However, she relaxed when she recalled her father's text.
Wei Mingzhe contemplated before he added. "Why don't we call Huo Yao over to clarify things in person?"
Should he call her over to see how her adoptive father and his family would slander her?
The Principal looked out of the window without turning his head. He said solemnly, "It's fine."
Lu Xia's clenched fists loosened when she heard this.
Before long, Lu Xia's father arrived at the school. The moment he entered the office, a smile appeared on his square face. "I'm sorry. There was a traffic jam."
Lu Xia wanted to say something, but her father glanced at her and gestured for her to calm down.
He had met the Principal before, so he looked at him and said apologetically, "Principal Yu, I'm really sorry. My adopted daughter's incident has caused quite a stir in the school. Here's the whole story..."
Lu Xia's father's words were similar to Lu Xia's. However, he sounded more sincere, especially when he was talking about Huo Yao's grades.
"To be honest, my adopted daughter's grades were always at the bottom when she was studying in the county. She insisted on taking part in the National Quiz Contest this time. As her father, I was muddle-headed and helped her cheat." Lu Xia's father shook his head with a regretful look on his face.
The Principal looked at Lu Xia's father with a sneer on his face. Before Lu Xia could continue, he said, "Mr. Lu, are you saying that Huo Yao's grades are terrible?"
Lu Xia's father was stunned before he nodded. "That's right. To be honest, she used to study in the county high school. We had to pull a lot of strings before the school accepted her."
He had spent a lot of effort, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was spending money.
Wei Mingzhe wanted to prove to Lu Xia's father that he would not malign a student. However, the more he listened, the more he frowned.
Whether the competition was against the rules or not was one thing, but to say that he had to spend money to attend high school … it was clearly a little deliberate.
Lu Xia noticed the strange expressions on the Principal and Wei Mingzhe's faces and immediately realized that her father had said something wrong.
She had never told him about Huo Yao's repeated success in the exams.
Lu Xia opened her mouth and was about to speak when the Principal said, "What a coincidence. It took me a lot of effort to recruit Huo Yao into No.1 Middle School."
Papa Lu was stunned. "How... How is that possible? Principal Yu, are you joking? My foster daughter's grades … "
What was No.1 Middle School? It was a century-old school ranked in the top five among the thousands of middle schools in the country. Those who could get into No.1 Middle School could be said to be the cream of the crop.
Now, the principal actually said that he had spent a lot of effort to get his adopted daughter into No.1 Middle School?
It sounded like a fantasy and completely illogical. Papa Lu felt a little dizzy. Even though he did not pay much attention to his adopted daughter's grades, he knew what she was capable of.
