Chapter 291: We Aren’t Related By Blood
Huo Xiang instantly stripped Lu Xia of all chances to talk about the entertainment program by severing ties with her bluntly.
How could Lu Xia ask to appear on the show with Huo Xiang if they were not biologically related?
What right did she have to go on trying if they were not blood-related?
Lu Xia was keenly aware of Huo Xiang’s cold personality. He never bothered to even talk politely with the people he hated.
“Brother Xiang, do you have to behave this way? Although we are not related by blood, we were siblings for over a decade.”
“Are you here to ask me to let you appear on Mr. Qu’s entertainment program with me?” Huo Xiang could not be bothered to beat around the bush and exposed her cavalierly.
“I already gave Brother Yanxi an answer when you sent him to me. I’m sure he must have told you about it.”
Lu Xia parted her lips with tears welling in her eyes. “Is it that hard to help me this once?”
“Sorry, I’m not the kind-hearted sort.” Huo Xiang had noticed Huo Yao’s silhouette nearby.
He instantly added. “I’m here to pick up my biological little sister. You should go before you cause any misunderstanding.”
Huo Xiang’s last sentence completely destroyed all remnants of Lu Xia’s pride.
Lu Xia deeply inhaled before she straightened her body. All traces of her pandering disappeared. She looked at Huo Xiang expressionlessly and shouted. “You will regret it!”
Then she laughed mockingly and turned to leave.
Lu Xia halted for a split second and looked at Huo Yao coldly when she came close. They brushed past each other quickly without exchanging any words.
Huo Yao raised her brow and turned sideways slightly. For once, she took a second look at Lu Xia from behind as Lu Xia walked off with her head held high.
She asked Tong Yu in a light tone. “What happened?”
Since Tong Yu could hear the entire conversation, he had an inkling of the conflict between them. No wonder Huo Xiang had rejected him emphatically when he suggested getting Lu Xia to make an appearance on the program.
It seemed they were on bad terms.
After seeing how indignant Lu Xia appeared to be, he felt that she had a theatrical flair. He almost wanted to suggest that she carve out an acting career instead of singing.
Tong Yu touched his nose and said, “She was here to beg Huo Xiang to let her appear on the entertainment program but he rejected her harshly.”
Although Huo Xiang was in the car and Tong Yu spoke with his back facing him, he could hear everything clearly. He could not help coughing. “Yao, get in.”
How could his agent bring it up in front of his little sister? What if Huo Yao got angry?!
Huo Yao veered her curious eyes away and did not continue with the topic. She opened the backseat door and slid in.
Huo Xiang clenched his hands a little. Then he said somewhat nervously, “I have only one little sister.”
His att.i.tude was poles apart from the way he had treated Lu Xia.
Tong Yu instinctively looked into the rearview mirror after he got into the car. His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he caught sight of Huo Xiang acting indignant and wronged.
Heavens! Did he resemble the cool and distant, Lucky, in any way?
He would probably lose tons of fans if any of them saw him this way, right?!
Huo Yao tilted her head and looked at Huo Xiang. “Okay.”
Huo Xiang could not help pulling his hair when he heard the nonchalant reply, so he added further. “You are my one and only little sister.”
Tong Yu quietly covered his face. Darn, his image was done for.
