Lu Xia’s lips parted, and she was about to speak, Lu Ziming interrupted. “What else could she be up to? She was probably out on a date!”

Lu Ziming scoffed frivolously. He walked into the living room and plonked onto the couch lazily.

“Date? What date?” asked their father as he sat up straight.

The smile on his face dissipated. He narrowed his eyes and peered at his daughter.

A look of annoyance flashed across Lu Xia’s face briefly but she hurriedly explained. “It’s nothing. I had dinner with a friend, so I ca back late.”

Her father never liked it when Lu Xia wasted her ti on frivolous things. The only reason he was pleasant to her was because of her celebrity status.

“Tsk. With your boyfriend, right?” asked Lu Ziming with a cheeky smile before he raised his brow and continued. “I saw everything from upstairs.”

Lu Xia glanced at Lu Ziming coldly and retorted. “Stop spouting nonsense to Dad. It wasn’t my boyfriend. That was just the foster brother I used to live with, Huo Yanxi.”

“Heh! Since you aren’t biological siblings, who knows what’s going on between the two of you,” said Lu Ziming.

Lu Xia’s face turned dark, but she could not do anything to Lu Ziming since their father was around. She could only reply angrily. “Are you my biological brother? Do you have to speak so offensively every ti?”

Lu Ziming chuckled while lying on the couch. He propped his legs up on the couch, and said, “You are no sister of mine. When you first ca back, you despised the Huo family so much. Why did you suddenly change since then? Tsk tsk. No one is as two-faced as you.”

Lu Xia’s face froze.

“Enough, Lu Ziming! How can you talk to your elder sister like this?” said their father as he glared at Lu Ziming. Although he was reprimanding him, he did not sound stern.

Lu Ziming’s lips twitched. Since he dare not misbehave with his father around, he did not continue bickering with Lu Xia.

His eyes landed on Lu Xia. There was clearly a look of annoyance on his face. “Are you close to your foster family?”

Lu Xia squeezed her hands and forced herself to reply calmly. “No, we’re not. I spend all my ti studying or going for practice. Occasionally, we get in touch and et up for dinner. We don’t have much contact other than that.”

Her father veered his eyes away and cleared his throat. “I understand if you can’t help caring about your foster family, but it’s best to avoid staying in touch with the likes of them. They are useless to you and will only end up lowering your standard. Xiaxia, do you get what I’m driving at?”

Lu Xia lowered her gaze. She composed herself and said, “Mhm. I’m going back to my room, Dad. I want to do so reading and prepare for the upcoming contest.”

Lu Ziming sneered at her covertly.

Lu Xia caught his look but ignored him.

The mont their father heard about the National Quiz Contest, he recalled a matter and continued to speak. “Oh yes. After class tomorrow, head over to the Education Association. Uncle Xue has prepared so revision notes for the contest. Behave nicely when you see him.”

Lu Xia was lost and asked him with a perplexed look. “Uncle Xue?”

“Ha, I forgot to tell you. Uncle Xue is the Chairman of the Education Association,” explained her father.

Lu Xia’s eyes opened wide. A look of joy surfaced on her face as she said, “Thanks, Dad!”
