Chapter 1471: Harbor A Grudge

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lu Xia had already changed out of her black clothes. She stood where she was motionlessly and looked at the people from the Huo family. She unknowingly tightened her grip on her purse.

It was quite the irony that her foster parents had never treated her so well in her life.

If Lu Xia did not know better, she sometimes wondered if they already knew she was not their biological daughter right from the get-go.

!!

Lu Xia pursed her lips coldly. Their love meant nothing to her anymore.

Before long, her phone rang in her purse.

He Xiaoman was calling her.

“Xiaxia, have you come out yet? I already made a U-turn, and I’m waiting at the entrance,” said He Xiaoman as she looked out of the car window.

Lu Xia looked at the Huo family who had already walked toward the entrance. She replied calmly. “Give me a minute to get there.”

Lu Xia was He Xiaoman’s last hope, so she did everything Lu Xia asked. “Okay then. I’ll wait for you.”

“Uh huh.” Lu Xia hung up the phone.

He Xiaoman put down her phone and flipped through a magazine as she waited. A few minutes later, someone knocked at her car window and she opened the car door.

“What did you have for me?” asked He Xiaoman.

Lu Xia veered her eyes from the airport and looked out at the parking lot. She acknowledged her mother and retrieved a card from her purse. “This is for you. The PIN is…”

He Xiaoman reached her hand out and asked hesitantly. “Is it from…”

Lu Xia replied calmly. “That’s right.”

He Xiaoman’s face softened even more and she smiled. “When you get back, you have to work hard with the professor. Our family is counting on you.”

Lu Xia had already grown accustomed to the change in her mother’s attitude. She raised her hand to check the time before she ended the conversation. “Mom, I have to go.”

“Sure thing. Have a safe trip. Text me before you take your connecting flight.” He Xiaoman spoke in an indulgent motherly tone.

Lu Xia raised her hand and waved patronizingly before she turned and went back inside the airport.

Meanwhile, Min Yu started the car and headed into the city.

It was starting to rain slightly. They had planned upon paying their respects to Old Madam Yang at the cemetery first, but the rain showed no signs of abating, so they decided to wait it out at the hotel.

Huo Jinyan and Song Ning knew that their daughter was deeply affected by Old Madam Yang’s death, so they kept chatting with her. After talking to her, they felt relieved knowing she seemed okay.

Huo Yao’s phone rang, so she swiped down to check her text message. She raised her head to look at her parents and said hoarsely, “I have to step out for a minute.”

Song Ning automatically held her arm. “Where are you going?”

Huo Yao could tell that her mother was worried about her. She went quiet briefly and said, “Just next door. Min Yu wants to talk to me.”

Song Ning let go of her hand. “Go on then. Come back soon.”

Huo Yao nodded. She got up and walked out.

Huo Yao looked frail from behind. Song Ning sniffled and felt sad just looking at her.

She leaned against her husband’s shoulder for support. “I wonder why her grandmother suddenly passed away. Our daughter was just making plans to bring her over to spend the Chinese New Year with us.”
