Chapter 153 – : A World–Class Little Brother!

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Lu Xia had always been aware of her status in the Lu family. Her parents adored her on the surface, but it was because she was in a girls group, and they were proud of her celebrity status.

In comparison to Lu Ziming, she was always at fault regardless of what she did or said.

Lu Xia had deeply regretted her decision to come back to the Lu family multiple times. She had never suffered such indignance when she lived with the Huo family.

Yet… Lu Xia's loathing for her foster parents increased after she recalled how they acted impoverished when they were so rich. In comparison to her ruthless biological parents, they were far more hypocritical.

Lu Xia inhaled deeply and suppressed the dreadful memories flooding her mind.

He Xiaoman might have realized how biased she sounded, so she extended her fingers and patted the back of Lu Xia's hand. She said softly, “Your younger brother just has a bad temper and can't hold his tongue. He means no harm, just let him be.”

Lu Xia's lips suppressed into a fine line. But after a few seconds, her expressions became normal and she readily agreed to her mother's suggestion.

Lu Ziming walked over and sat on the couch armrest lazily. He asked her in a nonchalant manner. “How much did the scaredy-cat score?”

Lu Xia looked at him quizzically. She had no clue who he was talking about.

“What scaredy-cat?” asked He Xiaoman perplexedly.

Lu Ziming sneered and said, “Lu Yao, who grew up with Granny. Oh no. I forgot she is now a Huo.”

At the mention of Huo Yao, Lu Xia's face turned slightly colder.

“Why did you suddenly ask about her?” asked He Xiaoman in confusion.

Lu Ziming looked away while he explained. “I'm just curious. Don't you guys keep saying she has bad grades? I just wanted to know how lousy she is!”

Although He Xiaoman was not interested in her foster daughter's results, she turned to look at Lu Xia since her son wanted to know.

Lu Xia had been in a foul mood all day because Huo Yao topped the level. She could not help sounding impatient when she replied to Lu Ziming's question. “We aren't in the same cla.s.s. Why would I know her results?”

Lu Ziming detected the anger in her voice. He rolled his eyes and asked perplexedly. “Oh really? Then why did you look as though you were bullied by her when you got back today?”

Lu Xia subconsciously looked at He Xiaoman's face and cursed Lu Ziming thousands of times in her heart when she saw her mother's face turn dark.

She had finally gotten He Xiaoman to turn her attention from calling up the Huo family to question them, but this dumba.s.s shockingly turned the conversation around again. He was really… such a world-cla.s.s little brother!

Lu Xia inhaled deeply and quickly calmed herself when she spoke. “Of course I don't know. Since I don't know her well, why should I pay attention to her results?”

Lu Xia paused briefly and changed the subject to Lu Ziming instead. She said, “But why do you seem very concerned about her?”

“Care about her? That's nonsense,” retorted Lu Ziming immediately.

He was suddenly afraid that Lu Xia would expose the matter regarding his attempt to make trouble for Huo Yao at No.1 Middle School and also how he ended up getting beaten. So after he finished speaking, he stood up and exited the room at top speed.

Lu Xia veered her eyes away in disdain.

He Xiaoman failed to detect the undercurrents surging between her children and suddenly recalled something related to the topic. Turning towards Lu Xia, she said, “Oh yes. I forgot to ask if Huo Yao was eliminated during the last round of the quiz contest?”

Lu Ziming could not help freeze when he suddenly heard his mother's question. He turned around and stood there.
