Huo Yao glanced at He Xiaoman.
Secretary Lin?
Did she know Lin Shuwen?
He Xiaoman's sudden appearance startled everyone at the scene.
Lin Shuwen was stunned when he saw He Xiaoman. He instinctively looked at Huo Yao, but she looked cold and indifferent, so he did not respond to her greeting.
Principal Yu furrowed his brows. He did not know who He Xiaoman was. Since Lin Shuwen and the Director of Education were present and he heard He Xiaoman calling him Secretary Lin, he nodded politely and asked, "You are?"
He Xiaoman glanced at Secretary Lin before she introduced herself. "I'm Huo Yao's mother."
Huo Yao burst into laughter the moment she finished her sentence.
She was probably the most shameless person in the world.
Principal Yu was dumbfounded. Did he remember wrongly? He did not remember Huo Yao's mother looking like this.
Principal Yu looked at Huo Yao quizzically.
Huo Yao replied coldly when she noticed the Principal looking at her. "She's not."
He Xiaoman's face froze. She did not expect that she would deny it in front of everyone.
"Oh." Principal Yu nodded. He did not embarrass Huo Yao. "If you are looking for someone, you can go to the broadcasting room and let them know."
He Xiaoman bit her lip and looked at Huo Yao. "No, I'm looking for her. She's my foster daughter."
Hearing that, Principal Yu realized that they were from the Lu family.
He remembered that Lu Hongyuan had come to the school because of the National Quiz Contest and tried to accuse Huo Yao of cheating.
Principal Yu could tell from Huo Yao's reaction that there was a connection between the two. Instantly, he was no longer as courteous as before.
"I'm sorry, but we are in the middle of a discussion. Please don't disturb us," said Principal Yu.
Then, Principal Yu continued to praise Huo Yao to the Director of Education and Lin Shuwen as though he was doing it on purpose.
He completely treated He Xiaoman as air.
He Xiaoman looked embarrassed. However, she did not want to walk away. After all, it would be even more embarrassing for her if she left.
However, when He Xiaoman heard all kinds of praises from the principal's mouth, her heart was filled with all kinds of feelings.
For a long time, her biological daughter's grades had already been at the top of her circle of friends. Many socialite madams were quite envious of her for having a daughter with excellent grades.
He didn't expect that his adopted daughter, who had to spend money to get into the county high school, would be so outstanding in this school.
To be fancied by the principal of a school and be praised in front of a big shot like Lin Shuwen, this kind of situation … even if her biological daughter worked hard, she would not be able to achieve this.
If such an outstanding child were to belong to the Lu family, how glorious would that be?
He Xiaoman clenched the bag in her hand. For the first time, she felt a trace of annoyance. If only their relationship hadn't been so stiff back then …
At this moment, the phone in Lin Shuwen's pocket rang. He took it out and walked to the side to pick it up. He didn't say much before hanging up.
Looking at the time, Lin Shuwen said to Principal Yu, "We should go too."
Principal Yu nodded politely. "Sure."
Lin Shuwen pursed his lips and said, "Goodbye, Miss Huo."
Huo Yao nodded.
When He Xiaoman saw that Lin Shuwen was about to leave, she ignored the awkwardness and called out to him. "Wait, Secretary Lin."
