Huo Yao had not shown her face on the program, so it was almost impossible to obtain details about her such as her school, her home, and even her grades.
Huo Xiang had kept thinking about this on his way home after learning what happened online.
Someone close to the family must have divulged Huo Yao’s personal information.
“I don’t know either. Someone posted the culprit’s IP address online. I tracked the IP address and learned that the posts were done by the damned Wu girl using her phone,” explained Huo Tingrui after glancing at his little sister.
Huo Xiang rubbed his chin. “Sounds like Yao is so popular that even random hackers stepped up to help.”
Huo Tingrui acted seriously as he nodded. “Uh huh. If not for the IP address, I wouldn’t have realized that the Wu girl was behind it.”
Huo Yao twitched her lips when she kept hearing the way Huo Tingrui addressed Wu Miao. However, she said nothing and continued replying to Yi Lianfan’s text message.
Yi Lianfan texted her: [Someone asked me if I knew anything about your personal life yesterday, so I reckon someone from school leaked your personal information.]
Huo Yao tapped her phone and composed a message: [Got it. Thanks.]
Yi Lianfan replied: [Welcome. It’s the least I can do since we’re friends!]
After Huo Yao closed her chat application, she went on social media and looked at the post with her personal information on it.
Anyone who was capable of finding information about her life in the countryside and her results was probably someone close.
The answer was abundantly clear.
Her phone suddenly vibrated.
It was a call from the big fat cash cow next door.
Huo Yao glanced at her older brothers chatting with a serious look on their faces. She did not answer the phone right away. Instead, she stood up from the couch and said, “Have an early night. I have school tomorrow, so I have to go to bed.”
Huo Tingrui wanted to comfort his little sister a little, but he replied gently when he caught her yawning. “Sure thing. Have an early night.”
Huo Yao nodded and went upstairs before long.
Huo Tingrui and Huo Xiang watched as she disappeared upstairs before they finally veered their eyes.
Huo Tingrui finally looked into Huo Xiang’s eyes solemnly. “I didn’t want to bring it up with Huo Yao around. The Lu family was behind the post about Fang Chen and her.”
Although Lu Hongwen and He Xiaoman did not raise Huo Yao, she had been their daughter for years. If she found out that her foster family had ruined her reputation, she would probably be upset.
“The Lu family?” Huo Xiang was rather surprised.
Huo Tingrui scoffed before he continued. “Fang Chen sent me some information earlier. He said that the Lu family had taken those incriminating photos and sent them to the news agency.”
Huo Xiang frowned. “Why did they do it? No matter what, she used to be their foster daughter. How could anyone be capable of ruining their foster daughter’s reputation?”
“This simply means they are heartless.” Huo Tingrui shrugged as he spoke somewhat mockingly.
Huo Xiang went quiet briefly before he continued. “This means, they were probably the ones who divulged Yao’s personal information online.”
“Uh huh.” Huo Tingrui nodded.
His eyes quickly looked stern. “In the past, we didn’t make the Lu family answerable for ill-treating Yao on account of Old Madam Yang. However, I think we don’t have to bother being nice this time.”
Their little sister was being pushed around, so this was no time to play nice.
