Huo Yulin took the bottle and said, "Okay."
Huo Yao yawned before she lazily curled up on the couch.
Refining medicine was extremely taxing on one's energy. Moreover, she needed to be highly focused to refine top-grade medicine.
Huo Yulin noticed that she was exhausted, so he did not say anything. He stood up and poured a cup of warm water for her before returning to his seat.
He picked up the book and continued reading.
For a moment, the living room fell silent.
The silence was broken by a phone ringing.
Huo Yao's phone was ringing. She took it out from her pocket unhurriedly. It was an unknown number.
Her fingers paused for two seconds before she answered the call. A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the line.
Huo Yao frowned when she heard the man's words. She hung up the phone right away.
It had been quite lively lately. The Lu family kept coming to look for her. This time, it was Lu Hongyuan again.
Within a minute, Huo Yao's phone rang again. It was the same number again.
A look of annoyance flashed across Huo Yao's face. She hung up the call.
Huo Yulin raised his head and glanced at her.
Huo Yao sensed his gaze and waved her phone. "There are too many scammers calling."
"Install an anti-harassment app," said Huo Yulin softly.
"I'll do it now." Huo Yao nodded. She tapped on the screen and blocked the number.
Meanwhile, at the Lu residence.
No matter how many times Lu Hongyuan dialed his foster daughter's number, the only response he got was "unavailable." His face darkened. How could he not know that his foster daughter had blacklisted him?
He threw his phone on the coffee table with a loud clang.
He Xiaoman was startled and frowned. "Why are you throwing a tantrum now?"
Lu Hongyuan did not answer her. Instead, he turned to look at her and said, "Call your foster daughter now."
Hearing this, He Xiaoman pursed her lips and replied coldly, "After he returned to his biological parents' place, he blocked my number."
"She blocked your number too?" Lu Hongyuan frowned even more. He never imagined that the timid and bad-tempered foster daughter of his would change so drastically.
He Xiaoman could not help asking him when she heard the word 'too'. "Did you call your foster daughter all the time?"
Lu Hongyuan nodded.
He Xiaoman shook her head. "Don't embarrass yourself. She doesn't even think highly of our Lu Family now. Don't expect her to be able to help the Lu Family."
"Are you looking down on the Lu family?" Lu Hongyuan's lips twitched. Since they were so ungrateful, they couldn't blame everyone for being merciless.
Anyway, the Lu Group's bid had completely failed.
He Xiaoman glanced at him and inexplicably felt that his current expression was a little scary. She wanted to ask a few more questions, but she was a little afraid. In the end, she chose to keep her mouth shut.
She had already suffered enough in the Lu Family recently. The more she said, the more mistakes she would make.
That night, an anonymous report letter was sent to the city's prosecutor's office, and another letter was sent to the news agency.

The next day was the weekend. As usual, Huo Yao and Huo Xiang spent the whole day recording 'Countryside Life With My Family'.
Today's task from the director's team was super perverted. Several groups of guests were so tired that they almost collapsed to the ground. Therefore, as soon as the live broadcast ended, everyone was joking and discussing how to drag the director out and give him a good beating.
Wu Miao secretly observed Huo Yao for the entire day.
