Huo Yao did not reply to Yi Lianfan’s text message. Instead, she took out a book that her language teacher had just given her and started to read it.
Although she did not like scholarly ancient writing, she wanted to get the first rank in the college entrance exam.
Never mind. She should just read it.
After school.
Huo Yao walked up to the school entrance and glanced at the roadside before she raised her hand to check the time. This was odd. Her father was rarely late.
After contemplating for a few seconds, she took out her phone and wanted to call her father.
She swiped down to his phone number and was about to hit the dial button when she heard a familiar voice. Her hands paused as she raised her head.
“Scaredy-cat, I finally found you!” Lu Ziming stood in front of Huo Yao and spoke to her like a hooligan. He was 1.7 meters tall and was on the lean side.
Huo Yao glanced at Lu Ziming and turned her phone off before placing it in her pocket. “Where are your lackeys? Are they afraid of getting beaten up again?”
Since Huo Yao had beaten Lu Ziming twice, he was genuinely afraid of her. Despite his arrogance over the phone, he felt wary in front of her.
“…you crazy woman. Who goes around beating people up?” said Lu Ziming with a stiff neck.
Huo Yao straightened her sleeves with an impatient look on her face. “I will give you one minute.”
Lu Ziming instinctively retreated when he saw her actions before he explained the reason he was here. “It’s my birthday next Wednesday…”
The Lu family’s chauffeur had just reached the school entrance. The moment he got out of the car, he looked around but did not see Lu Xia. Instead, he spotted Lu Ziming immediately.
The chauffeur was caught by surprise. He knocked on the back seat car window. The car window slid down to reveal He Xiaoman’s well-made-up face.
“I think that’s Young Master,” said the chauffeur as he bent over and pointed towards Huo Yao.
He Xiaoman turned sideways to look in the direction that he was pointing in.
She knew that her son might be looking up her foster daughter today, so she was completely unsurprised.
The chauffeur noticed He Xiaoman’s expression and asked. “Shall I call him over?”
He Xiaoman contemplated before waving her hand. “Never mind.”
The chauffeur didn’t say anything further and walked up to the side to wait for Lu Xia to come out.

Meanwhile.
“I won’t attend,” uttered Huo Yao coldly and rejected Lu Ziming’s invitation right away.
Lu Ziming knew that the scaredy-cat would probably refuse to go, but he could not help feeling upset when she rejected him so decisively. “But why?”
Huo Yao looked at him coldly and said, “Tell your mother to stay out of my way. She can’t afford to offend me.”
The moment she finished, she walked to the roadside without looking at Lu Ziming. Lu Ziming wanted to follow behind her but promptly halted when Huo Yao glanced back coldly.
He instinctively felt terrified by the look in her eyes.
Lu Ziming clenched his fists and looked at Huo Yao from behind. He found it unfathomable why this scaredy-cat would suddenly become so scary!

Huo Yao walked up to the roadside, pulled out her phone, and wanted to call her father.
The moment she unlocked her phone, a text message notification popped up on her screen.
[Raise your head and look to the left.]
Huo Yao was stunned to see the text message. She gradually raised her head and looked to the left, as instructed.
