Chapter 634: Unless She Wants To Embarra.s.s Herself!


Lu Hongwen placed the bank card in Lu Xia’s hands before he cleared his throat and said, “Nothing much. I recall that you were pretty close with your eldest foster brother, right?”


Lu Xia’s fingers trembled and the card landed on the ground.


Lu Hongwen glanced at her.


Lu Xia quickly composed herself before she bent over to pick it up. “Dad, why did you suddenly bring this up? I did as you said. I have already cut off ties with the Huo family.”


“Nothing much. I just feel a little sorry for you recently. If you like the Huo family, I won’t stop you from staying in touch with them. After all, I understand your feelings for them since they raised you for years,” said Lu Hongwen thoughtfully.


Lu Xia lowered her eyes. The card in her hand suddenly felt burning hot. She just knew that her biological father would not have offered her money for no reason.


“Me and the Huo family…” Before she finished her sentence, Lu Hongwen interrupted her.


“Also, aren’t you cla.s.smates with Yaoyao? Why don’t you girls go shopping this weekend? Since the Huo family isn’t rich, she might not be able to afford to buy any designer goods. If she likes anything, go ahead and put it on my card.” Lu Hongwen stood with his hands behind his back and offered generously.


Instantly, Lu Xia bit her lip.


This card was not meant for her. In reality, he wanted her to take Huo Yao shopping!


From the looks of it, her biological mother had been picking her up from school recently because of Huo Yao. Now her biological father wanted to use her to ingratiate himself with Huo Yao.


Lu Xia inhaled deeply as she tried to suppress her anger. She placed the bank card on the table. “Sorry. I don’t talk to her much, so I probably can’t help.”


Lu Hongwen frowned. He looked at Lu Xia and was clearly angry, but he contained his fury and said, “Even though you two aren’t close, you will become closer if you hang out more.”


Lu Xia parted her lips. “Have you forgotten what happened during the National Quiz Contest? Do you think that we can be friends?”


Moreover, Lu Xia had already severed ties with the Huo family.


Lu Hongwen twitched his lips nonchalantly. “That is no big deal. Would she still harbor a grudge if you buy her some designer goods?”


Although he did not know how his foster daughter got acquainted with Lin Shuwen, she was from the countryside and had never seen good things in her life. How could she say no to designer goods?


Lu Xia shook her head and asked him. “Why do you want me to be close to Huo Yao?”


She did not believe that he would suddenly find his conscience and want to be good to Huo Yao.


Lu Hongwen contemplated for a few seconds before he said candidly, “Because she has friends in the local government.”


Lu Xia frowned the moment she heard this.


Did Huo Yao have friends in the local government? How could she have any ties with the city government officials? Perhaps the Huo family was the one with the connections!


Since her father thought that the Huo family was not well to do, it seemed that he did not know about their true situation.


Lu Hongwen said once more, “If the Lu family wants to advance in the city, we need friends in the government. It just so happens that she is connected with them.”


Lu Xia composed herself before she said, “I suggest you give up this idea. Even if she knows them, it is impossible for her to help us.”


The moment Lu Hongwen heard this, he got angry.


Moments later, he finally sneered. “She had better help us unless she wants to embarra.s.s herself!”
