He Xiaoman finally looked away when the car had gone so distance. She turned to open the back seat car door and got in.
Lu Xia clenched her fists so hard that her nails nearly dug into her flesh while she observed her mother’s every gesture.
This sight was absolutely ironic!
Her so-called biological mother ca to pick her up from school, out of the blue, only to see Huo Yao. This ant that even though she was her biological daughter, she ant nothing to He Xiaoman.
She had lost her status as a celebrity and was incapable of making the family proud, so she also lost the right to be loved. This was the true nature of her family.
He Xiaoman flicked her nails as she glanced at the rearview mirror. After so ti, she collected herself but did not offer any explanation. “Are the Math League results out?”
“Uh huh.” Lu Xia turned to look out of the car window and replied calmly. She had already composed herself.
“How much did you get?” asked He Xiaoman casually.
If Lu Xia did not already know Huo Yao’s scores, she would have felt that she had done really well and would confidently say that she scored 263 marks...
Lu Xia closed her eyes briefly before telling the result to her mother.
“263 marks? What about your ranking?” asked He Xiaoman while smoothening her hair.
“15th in the city.”
The mont He Xiaoman heard this result, she did not seem particularly proud. Instead, she asked her. “What about Huo Yao? How was her result?”
Lu Xia knew that her mother would ask about this. She pursed her lips slightly and was incapable of suppressing her sarcasm. “It’s not like we are in the sa class. Why would I know her results?”
He Xiaoman frowned. “Aren’t the results for such competitions released publicly? How could you not know?”
Lu Xia raised her hand to press her forehead. She closed her eyes and leaned into the car seat for so ti before she replied. “Mum, why are you asking about her?”
He Xiaoman was surprised by her question.
“Will you only be happy when you find out that your biological daughter can’t compare to your foster daughter?”
Lu Xia’s voice sounded upset and she clearly could not take it anymore.
Anyone would be upset if their biological mother kept asking about the foster daughter’s situation. Moreover, her mother had not raised her foster daughter for even a day before tossing her to the countryside.
He Xiaoman looked annoyed. “I don’t like your attitude.”
Lu Xia was a very sweet and thoughtful girl when she first returned to the Lu family and would never behave so rebelliously. Many of her friends kept saying how lucky she was to have such a sweet daughter. She was the envy of everyone.
But Lu Xia was not a sweet daughter now. She kept speaking implicitly and had even learned to talk back to her.
Lu Xia’s eyes landed outside the car window without the slightest warmth.
It probably was not her attitude that He Xiaoman had a problem with. She must dislike her altogether.
Lu Xia stopped talking. The more she spoke, the more displeased He Xiaoman would beco.
Before long, the car arrived at their villa.
After Lu Xia got out of the car, she headed straight into the villa without looking at her mother.
He Xiaoman watched from behind before she said to the butler angrily, “Just look at this girl. Her attitude is getting worse by the day.”
The butler glanced in Lu Xia’s direction before he veered his eyes and comforted He Xiaoman. “Don’t be angry. After everything that happened online to her recently, it is understandable for her to be in a foul mood.”
