Lu Xia's face turned pale when she heard Lu Hongyuan's words. She stood rooted to the ground as though her body was filled with lead. She did not move for a long time.
How could she have the face to look for Huo Tingrui?
Even if she did, she would be kicked out before she could even set foot in his company.
Even if she tried to look for her adoptive parents, they had moved away. Where would she find them? They would probably not pick up her calls either.
Lu Xia's eyes turned red. She had never felt so miserable before. The bell rang for the last class in the morning. She walked back to the classroom dejectedly.

At noon, on the other side.
"This is the acquisition contract for Huachen News Agency that the Vice President just brought back," said the assistant respectfully as he placed a contract on Huo Yanxi's desk.
Huo Yanxi had been sitting in his chair with one hand resting on his forehead. His face was pale and he seemed tired. After a while, he put down his hand and opened his eyes to look at the acquisition contract on his desk.
The assistant asked with concern. "President Huo, are you alright?"
Huo Yanxi shook his head. His throat was hoarse. "I'm fine." He slowly picked up the acquisition contract.
"I don't understand. Huachen is just a small news agency. Why do we have to acquire it? Also, our company doesn't have any business in the entertainment industry," asked the assistant.
After a while, Huo Yanxi murmured. "Maybe it's to make up for it..."
"Huh?" The assistant did not catch what he said.
Huo Yanxi waved his hand and quickly put the acquisition contract into the drawer.
The assistant didn't ask much. Then, he thought of something and said, "Lu Enterprises has been temporarily closed down because of tax evasion and some judicial disputes. I remember that your adopted sister is the daughter of Lu Enterprises. At this time, do you want to …"
Before he could finish, Huo Yanxi interrupted him. "It would be a waste of money to acquire such a rotten company."
The assistant's mouth fell open and he remained frozen for a long time.
He actually wanted to ask if he should help Huo Yanxi at this time.
"Don't ever mention Lu Corporation again... I don't want to hear any of the Lu family's names," said Huo Yanxi expressionlessly.
Any name in the Lu family naturally included Lu Xia.
The assistant instantly understood.
Although he had doubts in his heart, how could a small employee like him ask about his superior's private affairs? Therefore, he didn't ask any more questions.
Suddenly, Huo Yanxi's cell phone rang.
He glanced at it and furrowed his brows. He didn't take it.
The assistant looked at him carefully and clearly noticed that his mood seemed to have changed with the phone call. He was a little scared, so he hurriedly said that he would go out first and soon disappeared from the office.
During this period of time, the whole company was in a bad mood. He was really a little afraid of accidentally stepping on a mine.
It was mealtime. The assistant walked to the elevator, swiped his card, and went downstairs.
In the office, Huo Yanxi's phone rang several times. He was still sitting in his chair without moving. His hands rested on the armrests, and his eyes seemed unfocused.
Perhaps the caller had already given up. Not long after, the phone stopped ringing. But soon, the landline on the table rang.
This time, it was the extension number of the front desk.
