Lu Hongwen was the one who called her.
Lu Xia stepped out of the classroom and went to a quieter spot before she answered the phone.
“I called you so many times. Why didn’t you answer?” The moment the phone got through, her father questioned her angrily.
Lu Xia was already in a bad mood, so after he scolded her, she instantly sounded annoyed. “I was in class. What do you want?”
“The Lu family is dead meat!” roared Lu Hongwen.
It was so loud that Lu Xia felt she was going to become deaf. Moments later, she composed herself and tightened her grip on the phone. “Dad, what did you say? What is going to happen to us?”
“Lu Corporation was seized this morning and the bank has frozen our funds…”
Lu Xia’s face turned pale when she heard this. She stumbled and bumped onto the railing while Lu Hongwen kept talking over the phone. However, only five words kept echoing in her ear.
Lu Corporation was just seized.
The Lu family was done for.
Lu Xia looked flustered as she interrupted her father. “Weren’t we perfectly fine yesterday? How did we end up being seized today?”
In her past life, the Lu family ended up on the brink of bankruptcy. However, it should happen over a decade from now. Why did it happen so much sooner in this lifetime?
“Humph. We have your wonderful brother to thank for this! Huo Tingrui is a renowned attorney. Why did you tell me that your brothers were good for nothings?”
Lu Hongwen’s voice sounded shrill and his face looked absolutely furious.
He had noticed that Huo Yanxi and Huo Tingrui dressed like professionals when he went over to pick up his biological daughter, so he had asked his daughter about their occupations.
She had told him that they were good for nothings who lived off their parents. Even though they seemed decently dressed, it was only a façade.
Also, the Huo family resided in an old estate and drove a beat up Santana, so he had easily believed every word his daughter said.
In the end, Huo Tingrui turned out to be an ace attorney!
Since Lu Hongwen did not surf the internet, he did not know about the events that transpired on social media last night. He only found out when he went to the company’s legal department today and received a lawyer’s letter.
Lu Xia felt indignant when her father questioned her. She did not get reborn until after she moved back to the Lu family, so she did not remember what she said at that time.
She bit her lip and did not attempt to explain. Instead, she asked. “I don’t see why he would want to target Lu Corporation.”
She genuinely provided a part of Huo Yao’s personal information, but even if Wu Miao exposed her, it was not serious enough for Huo Tingrui to sue Lu Corporation.
Lu Hongwen wiped his face and didn’t feel like talking anymore. “Go and beg Huo Tingrui to get our business partners to revoke their suits against us.”
Lu Xia’s heart constricted as she automatically said, “He won’t agree to see me.”
After the stunt she pulled on Huo Xiang previously, they had severed all ties with her. If Huo Tingrui considered her as his younger sister at all, this wouldn’t have happened.
Lu Hongwen lost his patience. “I don’t care what you have to do. If he won’t see you, then beg your foster parents. Our family’s fate is in your hands. If they do not let us off, you can forget about coming home.”
The moment he finished his sentence, Lu Hongwen hung up the phone without giving Lu Xia the chance to speak.
