Chapter 95: Hate Being Compared To Huo Yao!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Wouldn’t people humbly answer the host’s questions if a television station wanted to interview them?
Why was this student giving them an att.i.tude and looking impatient?
More importantly, despite her att.i.tude, the host did not get angry or irritated with her.
Sure enough, people with good looks got away with everything.
The host composed herself and said sheepishly, “Haha, you must be exceptionally confident. I wish you all the best.”
“Thanks.”
The host watched as Huo Yao left. She clicked her tongue and said, “I wonder which school this girl goes to? She’s gorgeous. If she entered the entertainment industry, countless fans would go crazy for her.”

The moment Huo Yao came out, Song Ning and Huo Jinyan quickly spotted her.
“Are you done already? So soon?” asked Song Ning. She purposely glanced at the entrance and saw no other students there.
“Mhm,” replied Huo Yao softly. If she did not deliberately prolong the process to look serious and sincere, she could have come out even sooner.
“How did you fare?” asked Song Ning. Despite her confidence in her daughter, she could not help feeling curious about her performance.
Huo Yao raised her brow and said, “It was easy.”
Huo Jinyan asked her. “When will the results be released?”
“Tomorrow morning at 10:00 am.”
Huo Jinyan nodded and said, “Let’s go. Mom and Dad are taking out to eat and celebrate.”
Huo Yao’s parents had discussed this while they were waiting for her at the entrance.
Huo Yao looked at them and asked. “Won’t the results only be out tomorrow?”
“Heehee. My girl is a straight-A student. I don’t have to see it to know that you would have done well,” said Song Ning proudly.
Huo Jinyan shook his head in laughter and said, “Come on. You can talk in the car.”
Very quickly, the three of them drove off.
He Xiaoman was sitting in her car nearby as she waited for Lu Xia. She had been watching the Huos since the moment Huo Yao came out until they left.
When she caught sight of the battered Volkswagen Santana which Huo Jinyan was driving, her look of disdain became even more intense.
Sure enough, penniless families bred beggarly daughters.
He Xiaoman raised her hand to check her watch. Despite her exquisite makeup, her face looked twisted and filled with impatience.
She said to the chauffeur, “Go and find out what’s keeping Lu Xia.”
“Yes, Madam.”
Lu Xia finally came out ten minutes later. Shortly after she got into the car, He Xiaoman angrily asked her. “What took you so long?”
Lu Xia was startled. Since she detected He Xiaoman’s impatience, she said gently, “The quiz was tough, so I had to spend more time on it. Also, the television station wanted to interview me, so I was held up.”
The fury on He Xiaoman’s face swiftly dissipated when she heard Lu Xia. Then she smiled maliciously.
That’s true. He Xiaoman’s foster daughter must have turned in her answer script early because it was too hard for her.
“How do you think you fared?” asked He Xiaoman.
“It was okay. I should be able to make it into the next round,” said Lu Xia. Although she sounded nonchalant, it was clear that she was confident.
“Mhm. Good. The Lu family’s daughter has to be a cut above the rest, especially Huo Yao!” sneered He Xiaoman softly.
Lu Xia stared out of the car’s window with a cold look in her eyes, but He Xiaoman did not catch it.
Lu Xia hated it when her mother compared her to Huo Yao. It made her feel like she was always being pitted against Huo Yao’s level.
