Chapter 130: How Could She Cheat?
“Don’t worry, Dad. I will definitely come back with great results,” said Lu Xia in high spirits.
There was no way Huo Yao could fare better than her now that she had her hands on the Education Association ‘notes’!
A fighting spirit suddenly lit up in Lu Xia’s eyes.
“Okay. Go back and study then,” said her father as he waved his hand impatiently.
Then his eyes landed on the television set once more.
“Mhm,” said Lu Xia gently before she turned and headed for the stairs.
After she left, Lu Ziming put down his legs lazily and sat up straight. He looked at his father and asked him with a frown. “Dad, don’t tell me you got her the answers for the contest?”
He was certain that something was fishy about the so-called notes.
His father glanced at him with indifference and said, “Kids shouldn’t poke their noses in others matters.”
“Dad, do you know what you’re doing? This is cheating!” said Lu Ziming angrily. He twisted the sofa cushion hard before hurling it on the couch resentfully.
So be it if she could not do well! How could she cheat?!
Although Lu Xia was a good student when she first came back to the Lu family, she did not perform as well as she was doing these days. Was their father pulling cheap tricks for her?
His father said with displeasure, “What do you mean by cheat? Don’t you revise before your exam? Don’t you buy revision materials?”
“How can these two things be the same?” asked Lu Ziming on a cold chuckle.
His father pressed his forehead and replied in a tired manner. “Enough. Stop sitting around to argue with me. Go back and sleep. You still have school tomorrow.”
Lu Ziming disappointedly shook his head and ran back to his room on a huff, without saying a word.
He stared hard at the ceiling while he lay in bed. It was unfathomable why his parents lost all principles after Lu Xia came back to the Lu family.
His previous older sister from the countryside certainly did not cause as much trouble.
Lu Ziming could not help recalling the way Huo Yao embarrassed him at the hospital. He sneered and suddenly sat up to grab his phone from the side and found Huo Yao’s number.
He had purposely checked his grandmother’s phone for Huo Yao’s number when he visited her at the hospital recently and saved it.
Lu Ziming stared at the string of numbers in his contact list for a long time while his finger hovered hesitantly over the dial button. Then he rubbed his head in frustration and sent her a text message instead.
[Hey, you scaredy-cat. Are you awake?]
[You scaredy-cat. I haven’t settled the score for what you did at the hospital. Just you wait. I won’t let you off so easily!]
After sending these two messages, Lu Ziming waited but no reply came. He angrily tossed his phone onto the pillow. Then he laid on the bed and pulled up the blanket over his head in a petulant manner.
Huo Yao only read Lu Ziming’s texts the next morning.
What a dumb kid!
Huo Yao shook her head when she saw those text messages. She immediately deleted them without taking them to heart.
After washing up, Huo Yao suddenly recalled the condition Min Yu was in the previous day. Although he clearly turned down her nerve-soothing incense, she had to return his favor.
It was easy to make nerve-soothing incense, but it was hard to obtain the ingredient which she needed. If she replaced it with some normal material, it would lower its efficacy.
Huo Yao mulled over this matter while changing into her uniform.
Huo Yao came down and looked at Huo Jinyan while they were having breakfast. In a normal voice, she asked him. “Dad, is there a medicine ingredient market nearby?”
