Chapter 393: Did They Have To Ruin Her?
Lu Xia’s eyes narrowed slightly as sadness brimmed from them. She had already guessed it.
They wanted to sever ties with her completely.
Lu Xia inhaled deeply and said, “That’s not up to me alone. Although I am from the Lu family, I have feelings for the Huo family after being their daughter for years. Brother Tingrui, isn’t it cold-hearted of you to hold our years of familial ties ransom over the matter?”
Huo Xiang frowned at her hypocritical words.
“Are we being cold? Didn’t it dawn on you how cold-blooded you were to Xiang when you sabotaged him online?” Huo Tingrui had underestimated this ex-sister of his. This emotional blackmail came so naturally to her.
“It was a moment’s folly. In any case, aren’t things perfectly fine now? Why do you have to ruin me?” Lu Xia’s face looked ghastly pale and her expression was absolutely pitiful.
“Did anyone put you up to it? Can you stop acting like you are the victim here?” Huo Xiang despised how pretentious Lu Xia was. After all these years, she kept acting as though the entire family owed her something.
Lu Xia pursed her lips and did not retort back.
“I thought about your situation. If Xiang doesn’t hold you accountable, you ought to be able to save your reputation. However, if we take the legal route, your career and even your track record will be tarnished for life,” said Huo Tingrui indifferently.
Huo Tingrui picked up his glass of water and took a sip before he continued. “Since you are the Lu family’s daughter, you might not care about smearing your image. After all, no one needs a spotless resume to inherit the family business.”
Lu Xia’s eyes landed on Huo Tingrui’s face once more. Despite his sophisticated, and genial exterior, he was the coldest and most heartless one of the lot.
On the surface, it sounded like they were discussing her options. In reality, it was a warning that she had no choice.
If she could inherit the Lu family’s business, she would not have entered the entertainment industry.
Ten minutes later.
Huo Tingrui and Huo Xiang left the private room. After walking out, they reached the corridor. Suddenly Huo Xiang clutched his belly and said to Huo Tingrui, “Brother Tingrui, why don’t you wait for me in the car? I have a stomachache. I’ll come out after using the bathroom.”
Huo Tingrui thought nothing of it and nodded. “Go on.”
He headed to the main entrance.
Huo Xiang turned back to the private room after Huo Tingrui had gone far.
After Huo Tingrui and Huo Xiang left, Lu Xia felt completely sapped. She sat slumped in the seat with her eyes in a daze.
Hence, she failed to realize when Huo Xiang entered the private room again.
“Where did you get my song from?” Huo Xiang looked at Lu Xia. Despite her despair, it did not stir any emotions in his heart.
After a long time, Lu Xia finally gathered her thoughts. She turned around and looked at Huo Xiang. She scoffed. “I composed it.”
Huo Xiang narrowed his eyes and said with certainty, “Impossible.”
“If you can write music, why can’t I?” Lu Xia veered her eyes away.
Except for Huo Yao, the wildcard, she did not fear anyone, including Huo Xiang.
Two seconds later, Lu Xia turned her head around and laughed gently. “Stop thinking that you are some musical prodigy. You are nothing.”
