620: Did You Sabotage Us?

Did You Sabotage Us?

Two students in charge of broadcasting were sitting inside, chatting softly.2

A woman could be seen standing inside through the glass window. She was dressed in a camel-colored long wool jacket with an exquisite designer purse in hand.

The students in charge of broadcasting noticed Huo Yao when she entered the room. Since they were also seniors and she was famous in school, they both recognized her.

"Hi, Huo Yao."

Huo Yao nodded politely to the students in the broadcasting room.

He Xiaoman was standing in front of the window with her back facing the door when she turned to look at Huo Yao warmly. "Hi, Huo Yao."

Huo Yao glanced at He Xiaoman coldly. He Xiaoman's unexpected friendly voice sent chills down her back.

One of the students inside the room was from an ordinary class while the other one belonged to the Rocket Class. The student from the Rocket Class recognized He Xiaoman and knew that she was Lu Xia's mother.

Each time there was a parent-teacher conference, this lady would turn up in a high profile manner, leaving an impact on others.

Why would Lu Xia's mother want to see Huo Yao?

In the past, people had speculated about Huo Yao and Lu Xia's relationship on the school forum when they were both in the National Quiz Contest. However, no one had any real answers, so everyone was particularly curious about the two of them.

No matter how curious the students in the broadcasting room were, they felt awkward staying in the room, so they quietly left and gave them some privacy.

He Xiaoman turned to walk up to Huo Yao after the two students left and said, "Yaoyao."

Huo Yao squeezed her ear lobe and took a step back and said coldly, "Get to the point."

He Xiaoman seemed accustomed to Huo Yao's reaction. However, she continued to smile. "I treated you badly in the past, but I will change from now on…"

Huo Yao raised her hand and interrupted her. "Whose mother are you?"

He Xiaoman's lips froze.

Huo Yao parted her lips and said, "What would Lu Xia think if you came over claiming you were my mother?"

"No matter what, you have lived in our family for over a decade. Do you really have no feelings for us?" said He Xiaoman in a soft voice.

Huo Yao looked at her coldly with an ambiguous smile on her face. "Are you sure that I lived under one roof with you for over ten years?"

"My mother has raised you all these years. Do you deny that?" He Xiaoman averted her eyes guiltily.

Huo Yao nodded. "What does that have to do with you? As her daughter, you did not think twice to use her. How could you have the cheek to do that?

He Xiaoman quickly realized that her mother must have called Huo Yao.

Huo Yao flicked her fingers and appeared impatient. "I didn't come to listen to your bullshit. If you have a heart, then stop trying to manipulate an old lady using those ploys you learned in the Lu family. She is getting on her age and should just be left in peace to enjoy her retirement."

The moment she finished her sentence, she turned to leave.

He Xiaoman was utterly embarrassed by Huo Yao and was unable to keep up the pretense the moment she recalled something. "I have a question for you. Did you sabotage us when we wanted to bid for the government project?"

Huo Yao had already walked up to the door but halted briefly when she heard this and looked at her perplexedly.

He Xiaoman walked over to her. "Initially, we had a high chance of winning the bid. Did you do something to thwart our plans because you couldn't stand the sight of our success?"

He Xiaoman was having a hard time in the Lu family ever since their failed meeting with Lin Shuwen, so she could not resist looking for her foster daughter.
