Lu Xia and Wu Miao did not chat for long.
Lu Xia seemed to recall something as they walked out of the dining room. She said to Wu Miao solemnly, "Senior, I have to remind you not to provoke Huo Yao. We... can't afford to offend her."
This was the second time Wu Miao heard Lu Xia say that she could not afford to offend Huo Yao. Although Lu Xia had been revealing Huo Yao's background to her, she had never mentioned why she could not afford to offend her.
Everyone was curious. Moreover, Wu Miao did not like people who did not finish their sentences. She narrowed her eyes and asked. "Why can't we afford to offend her? Does she have a powerful background? "
The Wu family was an established business in City S and had a longer history than the Lu family. Moreover, they were backed by the Shen family in the capital, so Wu Miao did not think much of Lu Xia's' connections'.
Lu Xia leisurely put on her mask and cap, revealing only her dark eyes. She stared at Wu Miao for a moment before she said, "You are very powerful."
Wu Miao frowned.
Lu Xia's lips twitched under her mask before she said, "She has a close relationship with Mayor Fang of the City Hall."
Before Wu Miao could respond, Lu Xia walked to the side of the road, opened the car door, and got in to let the chauffeur drive off.
Wu Miao stood rooted to the ground as Lu Xia's words echoed in her ears.
Mayor Fang of the City Hall?
Although the Wu family was doing well in the city and had connections in the government, the most they had were regional chiefs. They did not have any connections with the highest-ranking officials in the city.
Lucky's little sister had a close relationship with Mayor Fang?
Although Wu Miao did not want to believe it, she changed her mind. If the two of them really had nothing to do with each other, Lu Xia would not have mentioned Mayor Fang's name. After all, not everyone had the guts to fabricate a rumor about the city's top official.
Moreover, Lucky had risen to the top of the band at such a young age and had not been involved in any scandals over the past few years. Who would believe that he did not have a powerful background?
Based on all the evidence, Lu Xia's words were somewhat believable. However, they could not be trusted completely.
Wu Miao collected her thoughts and decided to ask her juniors at No.1 Middle School about the situation when she had the time.

Huo Yao spent the entire afternoon refining medicine. She came out of her room at 6: 00 pm with obvious fatigue in her eyes. She held two small bottles in her hands.
Rubbing the space between his eyebrows, he walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down. Leaning back lazily, he heaved a huge sigh of relief.
Huo Yulin was sitting in the living room. He put down the book in his hand and looked at Huo Yao. "Mom told me that you have been tinkering with those machines all afternoon."
"Uh huh," replied Huo Yao softly. A few seconds later, she seemed to have recovered and straightened her back.
She handed one of the bottles to Huo Yulin and said, "Brother Yulin, this is a new insomnia medication I came up with. Try it and see how effective it is. Take one every night."
Huo Yulin was visibly surprised when he heard this. He quickly took the bottle, unscrewed the cap, and took a whiff. The fragrance of the medicine assailed his nostrils, but he didn't know what the ingredients were.
He didn't study Chinese medicine, so he knew very little about herbs.
Huo Yulin felt warmth in his heart as he held the bottle. A faint smile appeared on his usually emotionless face. "Thank you, Little Sister."
Huo Yao raised her brow slightly before she handed him the second bottle of medicine. "This is for Uncle. It specializes in treating chronic injuries. I don't know his address, so can you send it to him for me?"
Since he had received a bracelet, he had to return the favor.
