NovelEnglishChapter 391: Are You Happy Now?
Song Ning parked the car in the parking lot. She saw Huo Tingrui standing in the yard when she walked out.
She narrowed her eyes and walked over. “Why didn’t you go in?”
Huo Tingrui’s eyes landed on his mother before he asked her quietly. “Mom, did you see Lu Xia?”
At the mention of Lu Xia, Song Ning looked a little upset. Moments later, she nodded. “Yeah. She wanted to see me.”
Huo Tingrui went quiet briefly. “Was it about Xiang?”
Song Ning acknowledged him softly with a sad look in her eyes. “I didn’t think she was capable of pulling this off and completely abandoning her sibling ties.”
If her foster daughter did not call her, she would never have learned about what happened online. She would not have gotten to know how devious her foster daughter had become.

He could clearly remember how Lu Xia had said she did not want to spend a minute longer living with paupers like them.
Other than not divulging details of their wealth, she grew up using the best things. However, she looked down on the Huo family for not giving her an affluent life.
Even more hilarious was how she conveniently forgot why Huo Yulin had to leave the country, right?
Huo Tingrui gathered his thoughts and said, “Mom, did she ask you to get Xiang to clarify the matter online on her behalf?”
Song Ning smiled sadly and answered with a nod.
Song Ning used to shower this child with affection, but Lu Xia ended up harming her biological children. Just the thought of it seemed ironic to her.
Huo Tingrui’s lips twitched before he said, “I just knew it. Everyone has to be held accountable for their actions. Don’t let her put you in a spot. You don’t have to accept this meaningless emotional blackmail.”
If Lu Xia cared about their family ties even slightly, she would not have done this. Why would she attempt to guilt-trip them into making the problem go away after slandering Huo Xiang’s reputation?
They could forgive her once. But what about the next time?
Song Ning shook her head without saying a word as she headed inside.
Huo Tingrui watched her body language and could detect his mother’s hesitance. After all, she had raised Lu Xia for over ten years.
Huo Tingrui pulled his phone from his pocket and texted Lu Xia.

The next day.
Lu Xia finally mustered the courage to go to school. She turned a deaf ear to her classmates’ gossip and buried herself in books all day long.

After enduring the ordeal for the entire day, she finally made it to the end of school. She packed up her things and left the classroom swiftly.
Huo Tingrui had asked to see her.
After walking down the block, Lu Xia encountered Huo Yao.
She suddenly felt that none of the online descriptions could compare to Huo Yao’s lofty airs, which genuinely made her feel embarrassed.
Lu Xia clenched her fists and called out to Huo Yao.
Huo Yao told Meng Ying to go on. She turned to walk towards the track with Lu Xia since it was less crowded.
Lu Xia stared at Huo Yao. Her face looked haggard, and she had lost her signature arrogant air. “Are you happy now?”
“Are you acting crazy again?” Huo Yao raised her brow. She simply did not get it. Why did this woman keep running to her to threaten and accuse her every now and then?
Lu Xia pursed her lips. She recalled her foster mother’s reaction from last night and how Huo Tingrui had asked to see her today. She suddenly tilted her head and laughed.
