Lu Xia could not go on listening to her mother and exclaid. “Mom, can you wake up already? It’s too late to beg anyone for help. Who do you think we have just offended? It is impossible for anything to be done now to save Lu Corporation!”
If it was just Huo Tingrui, they might have still stood a chance to change things, but city hall was now involved. This was as good as signing a death sentence for the family.
The mont He Xiaoman heard what her daughter said, her head buzzed non stop and her face gradually lost all color.
Did that an Lu Corporation was done for this ti?
She raised her head and looked around the extravagantly decorated villa. If there was no hope for the company, did it an their family was dead at as well?

anwhile, on the other end.
Huo Yanxi laughed in self-ridicule when he saw his assistant’s text ssage.
If not on account of being siblings with Lu Xia for years, would he rely have taken over the news agency that had slandered Huo Yao?
Huo Yanxi raised his head as he contemplated. His phone rang again.
The mont he lowered his eyes and saw the caller ID, he quickly answered the phone. “Hi, Tingrui...”
“Did you take over North Star News Agency?” asked Huo Tingrui with his brows slightly raised.
Huo Tingrui had just taken care of Lu Corporation today and was about to punish the news agency for their actions when he learned that it had already been taken over.
After asking around, he learned that his eldest brother was the one behind the acquisition.
Huo Yanxi went quiet for a couple of seconds before he acknowledged mildly and explained. “Soone already asked us to analyze North Star News Agency for its acquisition risks. I just happened to acquire it recently.”
Huo Tingrui smiled and shook his head. He did not expose Huo Yanxi’s true reason for the rger. He contemplated briefly and said, “Oh yes. What about the Lu family?”
“I will not get involved with the Lu family. Do whatever you want,” interrupted Huo Yanxi right away and made his stance clear.
He did not ntion anything about Lu Xia looking for him.
Huo Tingrui heaved a sigh of relief.
Although Huo Yanxi was no longer in contact with Lu Xia and had learned from his previous mistakes, Huo Tingrui could not help feeling worried that Huo Yanxi might cave in and help the Lu family if Lu Xia reached out and begged him.
From the looks of it, Huo Tingrui was overthinking it.
Huo Tingrui stopped talking about the Lu family and changed the subject. “Why don’t you co ho and have dinner with us?”
A thought crossed Huo Yanxi’s mind before he replied mildly. “Maybe so other ti. I am kind of busy lately.”
Huo Tingrui knew that Huo Yanxi was worried about feeling awkward with Huo Yao around. He tried to talk to Huo Yanxi about it a few tis. Since Huo Yanxi kept making excuses, Huo Tingrui stopped trying to convince him otherwise. After a brief chat with Huo Yanxi, he quickly hung up the phone.
Huo Tingrui held his phone and deleted the two missed calls from his call history.
Lu Xia had called him, but he did not answer the phone.
Everyone had to pay the price for their mistakes. They should have considered the consequences before they tried to get Huo Yao in trouble.

After school in the afternoon, Huo Yao saw Tong Yu standing by the roadside when she left campus, so she walked straight over to him.
Tong Yu was just about to send her a text ssage. He put away his phone when he saw Huo Yao walking over and straightened his body. “Hi, Yao.”
“Did you wait for long?” Huo Yao nodded to Tong Yu.
Tong Yu smiled as he shook his head. “I just got here. Oh yes! Your brother just sent a text ssage. He asked if you wanted to listen to his new song at the studio. It so happens he still has so studio pictures of himself at that place.”
Huo Yao recalled the list of personalized autograph requests in her bag and nodded in agreent.
Tong Yu sent Huo Xiang a text ssage to tell them they were coming before they got into the car.
