Chapter 392: Utterly Cold

With a short bark of laugh, Lu Xia said, “So what if people are mocking me now? It will all be over soon, and your brothers won’t hold me responsible.”

She paused before continuing in a calm manner. “Even if you have gone back to the Huo family, don’t forget that I have spent years living with them. Your family will still forgive me for this tiny mistake I made.”

Despite her disappointment in her foster parents and her angst towards Song Ning for not answering the phone, Song Ning ended up seeing her eagerly, right?

Although her foster mother did not say it clearly, judging from the text she received from Huo Tingrui in the middle of the night, Song Ning had undoubtedly compromised.

Her performance of a dying struggle seemed to have been touching enough.

Huo Yao kicked a pebble nonchalantly before she asked her. “Where did you get the song from?”

Lu Xia had expected to see an unhappy expression on Huo Yao’s face. When Huo Yao’s question came out of the blue, Lu Xia’s expression froze. After a long time, she scrutinized Huo Yao’s eyes as she asked her. “Don’t you know where I got the song from?”

“Should I?” asked Huo Yao rhetorically with an ambiguous smile.

“Brother Xiang had just finished composing it, yet, someone was able to post the complete version online in advance. Don’t you find it odd?”

The moment Huo Yao finished her sentence, Lu Xia was stunned. Lu Xia clenched her hands

in anxiety.

Lu Xia did not dare to say she was reborn. If Huo Yao had experienced rebirth as well, she certainly would not have asked her this. But judging from Huo Yao’s expression, she seemed to know something about it.

For a moment, Lu Xia did not understand what Huo Yao was driving at.

Lu Xia contemplated before she said coldly, “I don’t know what you are saying.” She raised her hand to check her watch and continued. “Oh, I have to go now. Your older brother has asked to see me. He said that he wants to help settle my online troubles.”

She strode off with her head held high without waiting for Huo Yao to respond.

A thoughtful smile swept across Huo Yao’s face as she watched Lu Xia walk away.

No wonder she attempted to sound her out and claimed that she was not the real Huo Yao.

Lu Xia left school and hailed a cab to meet Huo Tingrui at their rendezvous point.

Owing to the online incident, she was having a hard time with the Lu family, so He Xiaoman did not even assign a chauffeur to her.

She arrived at a restaurant in the city 20 minutes later.

Lu Xia was only expecting to see Huo Tingrui, but Huo Xiang was surprisingly present as well.

Lu Xia was stunned and stood at the door for a brief minute. Then, she walked in and sat across them. She removed her sunglasses and the mask. She greeted them softly. “Brother Tingrui, Brother Xiang...”

“Don’t call me brother,” said Huo Xiang in a deep voice.

Lu Xia’s face lost all color. Her hands were on her knees, and her fingernails almost dug into her flesh.

He treated her so coldly but doted on his biological little sister. She genuinely abhorred this double standard.

Lu Xia’s eyes became a little red, and she veered her face away.

Huo Tingrui looked at the young woman who used to be his little sister. It would be a lie to say that it did not stir any anger seeing her now. However, he did not disregard her feelings entirely like Huo Xiang.

He adjusted his glasses and said, “I’ll get to the point. If you want Xiang to clarify things online, it can be arranged.”

Lu Xia choked a little before she asked. “What are the conditions?”
