“I spent so much effort in grooming you. How could you disgrace the Lu family in such a manner? How could you have done this to me?” said He Xiaoman disappointedly with a livid look on her face.
Lu Xia pursed her lips gently. “What have I done? I’m a victim here. Mom, couldn’t you have at least asked before you started scolding me?”
Lu Ziming walked over and shook his head. “I just knew that something was amiss when I heard you say that nothing would go wrong on the phone last night. You were genuinely scheming something.”
Lu Xia glanced at Lu Ziming coldly. She was certain now that her little brother had something to do with the huge temper her mother was throwing at her.
He Xiaoman’s voice came from behind. “I wouldn’t have slapped you if I didn’t already know what happened. Your conversation has been posted online. What else is there to explain? You have utterly disgraced the family. What do you have to say for yourself?”
Lu Xia pressed her lips together and clenched her fists tightly. She had started talking about their reputation again. It was always about reputation!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNothing was more important than their reputation to her mother.
“If you believe that the news spreading online is true, why bother asking me about it?” asked Lu Xia with a gentle laugh.
“What’s with your attitude?” He Xiaoman frowned.
Lu Xia said nothing and kept her eyes lowered. A palm print could be seen on her cheek. Her face had been pale to begin with, but now she looked even more pitiful.
He Xiaoman looked at Lu Xia quietly for a moment. She did not go on scolding her and merely waved her hand and said, “Enough. Tell your agent to suppress the news asap. Don’t let it affect our family name.”
She did not want her employees gossiping about how scheming her daughter was when she went to work.
He Xiaoman turned to leave the room.
Lu Xia looked at He Xiaoman’s cruel, receding back. Her eyes became increasingly cold before she veered them away. Then, her gaze landed on Lu Ziming’s face. “Are you happy now?”
Lu Ziming frowned. “You were the one who did it. What has it got to do with me?”
Would such a scandal happen if Lu Xia did not keep trying to create trouble?
Lu Xia glanced at Lu Ziming expressionlessly before she headed out of the door.

Huo Xiang woke up to see a lot of missed calls from Tong Yu. He called his agent back quizzically.
The phone got through before long.
“Yu? Why did you call last night?”
Tong Yu was sitting in front of the computer. He looked energetic despite not having slept a wink all night. “Have you seen Weibo recently?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHuo Xiang instantly knew what he was talking about and said, “I know about what happened on Weibo.”
Tong Yu raised his brow. “Oh, do you already know?” He thought that Huo Xiang went to bed last night without seeing the new post.
Huo Xiang walked up to the French windows and opened the curtains. “Uh huh. Brother Tingrui has already drafted a letter.”
“You’re right. We do need to send Xiang Nan a legal notice. First, he accused you of plagiarism. Now he is making a public apology and claiming that he was misled. He is so hypocritical for trying to portray himself as a victim. It is simply disgusting.”
Tong Yu paused before he said, “Tsk tsk. If apologies were any good, we would have no use for lawyers.”
“Uh huh. So, I don’t want to... No, wait. Yu, what apology are you talking about?” asked Huo Xiang in confusion.
What apology?
What did he say about being misled?
It sounded as though they were talking about completely different matters.
