A Rolls-Royce. He had actually changed to a Rolls-Royce.
Lu Xia recalled how her adoptive father had always driven that run-down Volkswagen Santana no matter where he went. No matter how rich they were, he always acted like he was poor. Heh heh.
Now, his biological daughter could not wait to change to a Rolls-Royce the moment she came back. What a double standard.
Lu Xia felt an unprecedented sense of injustice in her heart. She had never enjoyed the treatment of a rich lady in the Huo family before she was swapped. Why did everything change as soon as her biological daughter came back to the Huo family?
Wasn't she their daughter in the past?
Lu Xia bit her lip fiercely. She tried her best to bear with the injustice, but the image of her adoptive father driving a luxury car kept flashing in her mind. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Lu Xia's assistant panicked when she saw Lu Xia suddenly crying. She hurriedly took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to her. "Xiaxia, what's wrong? Why are you crying? "
Lu Xia slapped the assistant's hand away abruptly. "Get lost. Don't bother me."
The assistant did not expect Lu Xia to lose her temper all of a sudden. She was a little shocked when she saw Lu Xia squatting on the ground and crying with her head in her hands. She wanted to go over and comfort her, but she stopped when she recalled how fierce Lu Xia was earlier.
Although the assistant did not understand why Lu Xia lost control of her emotions, she was no different from those celebrities in the entertainment industry who would put on one front and do the other.
The assistant lowered her eyes. She had seen many people like Lu Xia.
A few minutes later, Lu Xia stood up and put on her sunglasses so that the assistant could not see her eyes. She inhaled deeply and said softly, "Sorry. I lost control of myself."
The assistant pursed her lips and shook her head. "It's fine. Get in the car. There are too many people outside. It won't be good for you if the students see you like this."
Lu Xia wiped her face and opened the car door without saying a word. She got in the car.
The assistant got in before long. She glanced at Lu Xia and said, "Xiaxia, why don't you go home and get some rest?"
Lu Xia leaned against the seat. After a long time, she said, "It's fine. I'm fine."
The assistant did not say a word.

Meanwhile, in the car.
Huo Yao was playing with her phone when a WeChat message popped up on her screen. It was from Old Mr. Pei.
Huo Yao pressed her forehead. Her instincts told her that it was not a good thing. After some time, she tapped it open.
Old Mr. Pei: [You know how to make incense, right?]
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes. Old Mr. Pei kept insisting on helping her when she was making medicine. Now, he was asking her if she knew how to make incense. What was he up to this time?
Very quickly, she replied: [No.]
Old Mr. Pei: [Of course you do. You made Young Master Min's nerve-soothing incense.]
Huo Yao's lips twitched. She typed expressionlessly: [You're mistaken. I bought it online.]
Old Mr. Pei: [That's impossible. You bought the herbs from me.]
Huo Yao sent him a full stop.
Ah, are the old men nowadays so difficult to deal with?
She looked out of the window. Why did she want to blacklist him so badly?
Soon, her phone rang again. She looked down.
Old Mr. Pei: [I know everything.]
Huo Yao felt helpless. She stared at the screen and typed slowly: [It's easy to get silenced if you know too much, old man.]
