Chapter 343: Huo Yao Was The One Who Made The Incense
Lu Xia could not believe her eyes. They had bought a Rolls Royce!
Lu Xia recalled how her foster parents kept driving that beat up Santana all these years while she was in the Huo family. No matter where they went, they used that car. Even though they were loaded, they acted as though they were poor.
Hehe. Now that their biological daughter came back, they could not wait to change the c.r.a.ppy car to a Rolls Royce. They certainly had double standards.
Lu Xia felt an unprecedented sense of sadness. Before they found out about the accidental swap at birth, she did not get to enjoy life as a rich family’s daughter. How could things change so abruptly after their biological daughter came home?
Was she not their daughter?
Lu Xia bit her lip hard. She did her utmost to suppress her indignation. However, she could not help recalling how her foster father looked driving the luxury vehicle. The more she thought about it, the more resentful she felt. In the end, she could not hold back the tears.
The moment her a.s.sistant saw Lu Xia suddenly crying, she became anxious. She hurriedly retrieved a pack of tissue from her purse and handed it to Lu Xia. “Xiaxia, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?”
Lu Xia pushed her a.s.sistant’s hand away in a fit of anger. “Get lost. Don’t bother me.”
The a.s.sistant did not see this coming and was slightly shocked. She instinctively wanted to console Lu Xia when she saw her crying sadly. However, she stopped when she recalled how Lu Xia had shouted at her.
Although the a.s.sistant was clueless about why Lu Xia suddenly lost control, Lu Xia did not seem to be any different from the other hypocritical celebrities in the industry.
The a.s.sistant lowered her eyes. She had seen her fair share of such people.
A few minutes later, Lu Xia stood up and put on her sungla.s.ses without letting the a.s.sistant see her eyes. She inhaled deeply before apologizing softly to her a.s.sistant. “Sorry for losing control.”
The a.s.sistant pursed her lips and just shook her head. “It’s fine. Get in. There are people outside, so it’s not good for the other students to see you like this.”
Lu Xia wiped her cheeks before getting into the car without another word.
Very quickly, the a.s.sistant got into the car as well. She glanced at Lu Xia and said, “Xiaxia, do you want to go home and rest instead?”
Lu Xia leaned into the seat and replied a long while later. “No. I’m fine now.”
In the end, the a.s.sistant didn’t try to convince her otherwise.

Meanwhile, in the car.
Huo Yao was playing with her phone when she suddenly received a text from Old Mr. Pei.
Huo Yao pressed her forehead. She had a bad feeling about this. After sometime, she tapped the message and read it.
Old Mr. Pei: [You know how to make incense, right?]
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes. The last time she made medicine, Old Mr. Pei kept wanting to a.s.sist her. Now he was asking if she knew how to make incense. What on earth was he up to?
Very quickly, she replied: [No, I don’t.]
Old Mr. Pei: [I’m sure you do. You were the one who made Young Master Min’s incense.]
Huo Yao’s lips twitched.
She typed expressionlessly: [You are wrong. I bought it online.]
Old Mr. Pei: [Impossible. You even bought the ingredients from my shop.]
Huo Yao: “...”
Sigh. Were all old men so hard to shake off these days?
She looked out of the window and wanted to blacklist him at this moment.
Her phone pinged again, and she lowered her head to look at it.
Old Mr. Pei: [I know everything.]
Huo Yao felt helpless. She stared at her screen for a second before she slowly typed: [If you know too much, you might end up getting killed, old man!]
