Lu Hongyuan stuffed the card into Lu Xia's hands and cleared his throat before he said, "It's not a big deal. I remember that you are close to the eldest son of the Huo family, right?"
Lu Xia's fingers trembled, and the card fell on the floor.
Lu Hongyuan glanced at her. Lu Xia quickly composed herself and bent down to pick up the card. "Dad, why did you bring this up? I've stopped contacting the Huo family as per your instructions. "
"It's nothing. It's just that I've been feeling a little emotional lately. I won't stop you from hanging out with the Huo family. After all, they brought you up. I understand," said Lu Hongyuan earnestly.
Lu Xia lowered her eyes. The card in her hand suddenly became unusually hot. She knew that her biological father would not give her money for no reason.
"Actually, the Huo family and I..." Before she could finish her sentence, Lu Hongyuan interrupted her.
"By the way, you and Yaoyao are in the same school, right? Let's go shopping this weekend. The Huo Family isn't that well off financially, so she probably can't afford to buy branded goods. Let's see what she likes and use the card I gave you to pay for it."
Lu Hongyuan placed his hands behind his back and said generously.
Lu Xia instantly bit her lip. So the card was not meant for her. The real purpose was for her to take Huo Yao shopping!
Some time ago, her biological mother came to pick her up from school every day to see Huo Yao. Now, even her biological father wanted to use her to get on Huo Yao's good side.
Lu Xia inhaled deeply and suppressed her anger. She placed the card on the table and said, "I'm sorry, Dad. I don't hang out with her much, so I can't do what you want."
Lu Hongyuan frowned and looked at Lu Xia with obvious displeasure. However, he said patiently, "We don't hang out much. We will get to know each other better."
Lu Xia pursed her lips. "Have you forgotten about the contest materials? Do you think she will hang out with me?"
Moreover, she had already severed ties with the Huo family.
Lu Hongyuan pursed his lips and said, "It's not a big deal. She won't hold a grudge against me if I buy her a branded gift."
Although he didn't know how his adopted daughter had gotten to know Secretary Lin, she was still a child who grew up in the countryside and had never seen the world. How could she resist the temptation of luxury goods?
Lu Xia shook her head and asked him directly. "Why did you ask me to get close to Huo Yao?"
She didn't believe in being kind to her adopted daughter because of her conscience.
Lu Hongyuan thought for a few seconds and said, "Because she has a close relationship with the people in the City Hall."
Lu Xia frowned at his words.
Huo Yao was on good terms with the City Hall? How could she have a good relationship with the City Hall? It must be because of the Huo family!
But when her father mentioned that the Huo family's financial situation was poor, he didn't seem to know the Huo family's situation.
At this moment, Lu Hongyuan's voice was heard again. "If the Lu family wants to develop in the city in the future, we need to build a good relationship with the people in the city hall. She has the resources to do so."
Lu Xia suppressed her doubts and said straightforwardly, "In that case, you don't have to get your hopes up. Even if she has the resources, she will never help us."
When Lu Hongyuan heard this, his face darkened. After a long while, he let out a cold laugh. "Unless she doesn't care about her dignity anymore!"
