Chapter 342: Don’t Judge A Book By Its Cover

Huo Jinyan was waiting to pick Huo Yao from school.

Huo Yao had gone to see the homeroom teacher after school, so she was slightly late and had yet to come out.

Huo Jinyan was driving the new car. It was particularly flashy, and many students kept looking over.

Since he felt bored sitting in the car, he got off and walked up and down the sidewalk with his eyes on the No.1 Middle School’s entrance.

Lu Xia had to go for training, so she left the campus slightly earlier and walked out of the school gate. The company car had yet to arrive. Hence, she put on her sungla.s.ses and headed to stand at the side of the road.

A few steps away, she noticed Huo Jinyan and instantly halted.

Ever since Huo Yao came back, she had stopped visiting her foster parents. Her parents had treated her coldly when she picked Huo Yao from the airport, and she had yet to get over it.

Initially, she had a.s.sumed that her foster parents would call her occasionally. But, they never did. It seemed as though she had not been a part of their life ever.

Lu Xia inhaled deeply and suppressed her annoyance. She adjusted her sungla.s.ses and pretended not to see Huo Jinyan.

She did nothing to avoid him. Instead, she walked straight towards him. Perhaps she harbored some hope that her foster father would come over and talk when he saw her.

She continued hoping for a long time, but her foster father did not even look at her even after the company car had pulled up in front of her.

“Xiaxia, get in.” Her a.s.sistant got off the car and opened the door for her.

Lu Xia pursed her lips and clutched her branded purse tightly. She glanced at her a.s.sistant before she looked again at Huo Jinyan standing nearby. When she saw him pacing up and down the sidewalk and completely oblivious of her presence, she could not help feeling angry.

“Wait a second. I am waiting for someone,” said Lu Xia to her a.s.sistant.

Due to her fury, she sounded a little impatient and seemed different from the usual image she projected.

The a.s.sistant looked at her in disbelief. Sure enough, one should never judge a book by its cover.

Her a.s.sistant said nothing and merely stood by the side.

Lu Xia kept standing where she was and waited for a few more minutes until she saw Huo Yao walking out of the campus. Huo Yao seemed to have noticed Lu Xia’s presence.

Lu Xia’s lips pursed her lips sternly. Even the country b.u.mpkin had seen her, so she simply did not believe her foster father failed to do so.

Sure enough, her foster parents were cold-blooded. They were even more disgusting than her self-serving biological parents.

Huo Yao had already walked up to Huo Jinyan and greeted him.

“You are late,” said Huo Jinyan as he opened the front pa.s.senger car door for his daughter.

“The teacher wanted to talk to me, so I got held up,” explained Huo Yao before she got into the car.

Huo Jinyan walked around the front of the car to the driver’s seat and opened it to get in.

Shortly after starting the engine, Huo Jinyan looked up and finally noticed the car nearby with Lu Xia standing by the roadside.

He was stunned, but he quickly averted his eyes and started the engine.

Lu Xia watched as Huo Jinyan’s car drove away. Her face could no longer stay calm when she spotted the logo on the car.
