Song Ning parked her car in the garage. When she walked out, she saw Huo Tingrui waiting for her in the yard.
She narrowed her eyes and walked over. "Why aren't you going in?"
Huo Tingrui's eyes landed on his mother's face. He said, "Mom, did you see Lu Xia tonight?"
Song Ning looked upset at the mention of Lu Xia. She nodded after some time. "Yeah. She wanted to see me."
Huo Tingrui went quiet. "Is it about Xiang?"
"Uh huh," acknowledged Song Ning. A look of heartache flashed across her eyes. "I didn't expect her to do something like this. She completely disregarded our relationship as siblings."
If Huo Tingrui had not called her today, she would not have known about what had happened online. She would not have known that her adopted daughter would become so extreme.
"Maybe she feels that the Huo family has done her wrong," said Huo Tingrui calmly.
He still remembered that when Lu Xia left the Huo family, she had said that she did not want to stay in their poor family any longer.
Apart from not telling her in detail about their family's financial situation, she had been given the best food and clothing since she was young. In the end, she despised the Huo family for being poor and did not give her the luxurious life she wanted.
What was even more ridiculous was that she might have forgotten why Huo Yulin had left for another country.
Huo Tingrui composed his thoughts and said, "Mom, she wants you to clarify things for Fourth Brother online, right?"
Song Ning smiled bitterly and nodded.
Huo Tingrui used to treat his adopted daughter well, but she ended up hurting his biological child. It was ironic that things had come to this.
Huo Tingrui pursed his lips and said, "I knew it. Everyone has to take responsibility for their own mistakes. You don't have to feel bad about it. You don't have to be held hostage by family."
If Lu Xia still cared about family, she would not have done this. Since she had done it, why would she try to play the family card?
He could forgive her this time, but what about the next time?
Song Ning shook her head and walked into the house without saying a word.
Huo Tingrui watched her from behind. He could tell that his mother was struggling and hesitating. After all, he had raised her for more than a decade.
Huo Tingrui retrieved his phone from his pocket and sent Lu Xia a text message.

The next day.
Lu Xia plucked up her courage and went to school. She pretended not to hear her classmates pointing at her and read books the whole day.
But only she herself knew whether she had seen it or not.
She finally made it to the end of school in the afternoon. She packed up her things and quickly walked out of the classroom.
Huo Tingrui had asked to meet her.
Lu Xia bumped into Huo Yao after they left the building.
When Lu Xia saw Huo Yao, she suddenly felt that the gossiping of her classmates was nothing. Only when she was faced with Huo Yao's condescending attitude did she truly understand what it meant to be embarrassed.
Lu Xia clenched her fists and stopped Huo Yao.
Meng Ying was still standing next to Huo Yao. Huo Yao asked Meng Ying to leave first before she walked to the sports field with Lu Xia.
Lu Xia looked steadily at Huo Yao. She looked haggard and was no longer as arrogant as she used to be. "Are you happy now?"
"Acting up again?" Huo Yao raised her brow. She did not understand why this person kept coming up to her to either threaten or criticize her. Why was he doing this?
Lu Xia's lips twitched. She recalled her adoptive mother's reaction last night and Huo Tingrui's request to meet her today. She suddenly raised her head and laughed.
