Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss-Chapter 542: Foster Mother

Chapter 542: Foster Mother

The Head of Math’s lips twitched. Since the Principal was reluctant to share the details, he did not keep probing. Instead, he said, “Huo Yao is very talented in Math. I think we should groom her...”

Before the Head of Math finished his sentence, the Principal instantly knew what he was driving at, so he interrupted him impatiently. “She is also very talented in Physics. Her Physics ought to be as good as her Math...”

The Head of Math went quiet.

The Principal paused before he added. “The head of Tsing University’s Physics Research Institute invited her to join his faculty as well.”

The Head of Math went quiet.

He had even brought up the Tsing University Physics head. Fine! He did not want to go on talking about this. Since Huo Yao was a great talent, everyone wanted her. He had no right to take her as a disciple.

“Is that all?” The Head of Math felt exhausted and did not feel like chatting anymore. He wanted to drive the Principal away now.

The Principal glanced at him and said, “That’s all.”

He stood up and placed his hands behind his back before he walked out.

The Head of Math sighed to himself before he put the test script into a drawer. He went back to his desk and turned on an instant messaging tool on his computer. He reached out to the Education Association to ask about the paperwork for the handover.

After school, Lu Xia bumped into Huo Yao on the campus. The moment she caught sight of Huo Yao’s nonchalant look, she felt particularly disgusted.

In the past, Lu Xia might have mocked her, but she quickly strode towards the school gates today. After she left the gate, she saw her family car waiting by the roadside and saw He Xiaoman standing outside the car.

Lu Xia’s eyes dimmed. She turned her head and glanced in Huo Yao’s direction. Huo Yao had yet to come out. Lu Xia clenched her fists slightly before she walked over to He Xiaoman.

After she came close to her mother, she stood before her and deliberately blocked her view. “Mum, did you wait long?”

He Xiaoman looked at her daughter and replied indifferently. “Not really. I just got here.”

The moment she finished speaking, she took a step to the side and raised her head to look at the school entrance as though she was looking for someone.

Lu Xia clenched her fists slightly and ignored the action. She smiled and said, “Let’s go, Mum.”

“Hang on,” said He Xiaoman distractedly.

The smile on Lu Xia’s face started to look a little forced. “...Mum, who are you waiting for?”

He Xiaoman said nothing but kept looking at the school’s entrance. The moment she saw Huo Yao at the gate, her expression clearly changed, but she continued standing where she was without walking over.

By now, it was hard for Lu Xia to ignore her mother’s expression even if she wanted to. She found it unfathomable for her mother to act like she was a thoughtful mother towards Huo Yao when she clearly despised the girl.

Lu Xia inhaled. She did not want to see her mother like this, so she said calmly, “I’m getting in.”

Before her mother could respond, she opened the back seat car door and got in. She exerted slightly more strength while closing the door, so it shut with a loud thud.

He Xiaoman was startled by the sound. She frowned and seemed displeased, so she turned around for a look. However, the black car window made it impossible to see anything inside.

He Xiaoman shifted her gaze back to look at Huo Yao until the girl got into the Rolls Royce which was parked on the side of the road.
