Huo Yanxi's lips suddenly curved into a mocking smile. He found it hilarious that he had misunderstood Huo Yao recently. He was also speechless about how his little sister did not explain herself even though she was a good student.
If she had talked to him more, the misunderstanding would not have happened and they would not have caused so much trouble.
The meal was tasteless. Perhaps it was because he had lost face, or perhaps he did not know how to face Huo Yao, so when his phone rang in his pocket, he made up an excuse that he had work to attend to and left in a hurry without finishing his meal.
Song Ning looked at the main entrance quizzically. "Isn't it the weekend?"
Huo Jinyan raised his brow and replied ambiguously. "It's awkward."
Song Ning looked at her husband and did not understand what he meant.
Huo Jinyan smiled and did not say a word.

After Huo Yanxi went downstairs, he did not start the engine right away. Instead, he took out his phone and searched for the National Quiz Contest online.
He quickly went to the main page of the official website. It didn't take him long to find the results section. He clicked on it and saw Huo Yao in first place. She had scored 150 points behind her without much effort.
Huo Yanxi's eyes landed on the screen for a long time before his fingers moved. He scrolled down and saw Lu Xia's name.
If he had not mentioned the quiz and his parents had not mentioned his little sister's results, he might have misunderstood that his little sister was worse than his foster sister. He might have even been proud of his foster sister's intelligence...
Huo Yanxi was vexed at the thought of his previous attitude. He tossed his phone aside and started the car.
It was just a preliminary test result. It was not a big deal.

Monday.
Huo Yao was summoned to the Principal's office shortly after she arrived at school.
"Huo Yao, it's been a while." The Principal smiled at Huo Yao in a warm and polite manner.
Huo Yao nodded at him politely. "Hi. What can I do for you?"
"I've been too busy since the start of the semester and went on a business trip. I didn't expect to hear rumors about you getting in through the back door."
The Principal's face darkened at the mention of this. He continued to speak with a little self-blame. "It's all my fault. I didn't make things clear to the teachers, which led to this misunderstanding. Don't worry, Huo Yao. I'll clear your name."
Huo Yao looked at the Principal in surprise. She composed herself and shook her head. "There's no need for that. The more I explain, the more people will suspect me."
The principal was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't expected her to not care at all. However, on second thought, it was normal for a genius like her to not care about what others thought of her, but he … seemed a little narrow-minded.
"Isn't it more satisfying to slap them in the face with your strength?" added Huo Yao with an ambiguous smile.
"You!" The Principal smiled and shook his head. He walked over to the water dispenser and poured her a glass of water. He did not continue the conversation. "By the way, I have high hopes for you in the National Quiz Contest."
Huo Yao took the glass and contemplated for a moment. Suddenly, she raised her brow and said, "I didn't sign up for the competition."
