Lu Xia's eyes widened when she heard the Principal's words. She could not believe what had just happened.
Lu Xia's father was stunned for a moment before he composed himself. He frowned and said, "Why did you disqualify my daughter from the National Quiz Contest? She didn't do anything wrong! "
The Principal sneered. "I'm sure everyone knows why Lu Xia was disqualified. If I continue to pursue this matter, do you think I'll just disqualify your daughter?"
Lu Xia was a new star in the entertainment industry and could not afford to have any scandals about her. Moreover, if the Education Association's secret leak of the National Quiz Contest information was exposed, even the Education Commission would have to step in.
Lu Xia's father suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
"I accept the punishment," said Lu Xia before Papa Lu could speak.
Although she was upset, this was the best outcome for her. Even if she continued to participate in the National Quiz Contest, she would only be at the bottom. There was no point in wasting time on this.
Lu Xia's father glanced at his daughter and did not say a word.
Wei Mingzhe laughed at himself. He would never be able to hold his head high in front of the Principal again.

Lu Xia walked her father out of the school after she left the office.
"Why didn't you mention Huo Yao's results to me?" asked her father solemnly as he walked out.
Lu Xia clenched her fists and replied softly. "I don't know her well."
Lu Xia's father halted and turned his head expressionlessly. "Do you think I'm stupid?"
If he could not figure out why things had come to this, he would have lived his life for nothing.
Lu Xia's face instantly turned pale when she met her father's dark eyes. "I..."
"You can't keep your composure. You won't amount to much in the future," said her father coldly before he left.
She wouldn't amount to much in the future?
Lu Xia's lips twitched as she watched her father's receding figure.
If Lu Ziming had not secretly sent the information to Huo Yao, this would not have happened.

Huo Yao went to the Principal's office in the afternoon.
"Are you sure you want to keep looking so guilty?" Huo Yao sat on the chair and looked at the Principal helplessly.
He had been like this for five minutes.
The principal coughed and finally said, "I was the one who recruited you into No.1 Middle School, but I didn't expect you to be repeatedly slandered and questioned."
Huo Yao raised her brow and casually placed her hand on the armrest of the chair. "Outstanding people always make others jealous. You don't have to blame yourself."
Upon hearing this, the Principal's lips twitched. After a moment of silence, he sighed. "I didn't expect you to have some connections with the Lu Clan."
He didn't mention anything about the Lu Family's adopted daughter.
Huo Yao pursed her lips and said nonchalantly, "My surname is Huo now."
With a single sentence, he cut off all relations with the Lu Family.
"No matter what, you've been wronged this time." The principal smiled bitterly.
The Lu Family started off as a nouveau riche, and they managed to build the Lu Enterprise to become one of the wealthiest families in the city. It was obvious that they had good connections. That was why the competition information was easily passed over.
Although the Principal wanted to stand up for Huo Yao, the Education Association was involved. It would not do Huo Yao any good if he continued to harp on it. After all, the Huo Family was just an ordinary family without any power or influence. How could they compete with the wealthiest families?
The Principal did not want to see such a good seedling being suppressed by the higher-ups.
