Chapter 91: I Feel Optimistic About You!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Huo Yanxi’s lips curved into a mocking smile. He found his misconception of his little sister hilarious now. He was also taken aback about the way she had said nothing all this while, even though she was a straight A-student.

If Huo Yao had told him even a little about herself, he would never have misunderstood, and the two of them would not have fallen out like this.

Perhaps due to the embarrassment that Huo Yanxi brought upon himself, he found the food unpalatable. Maybe he did not know how to face Huo Yao, so the moment his phone rang in his pocket, he made some excuse and left for the office in a hurry without finishing his food.

Song Ning glanced at the main entrance and muttered softly. “Isn’t it the weekend?”

Huo Jinyan raised his brow and said in a vague manner, “He’s just embarrassed.”

Song Ning looked quizzically at her husband.

Huo Jinyan only smiled without speaking any further.

After Huo Yanxi went downstairs, he did not start the car right away. Instead, he pulled out his phone and ran a search for the National Quiz Contest on the web browser.

He entered the official web page very quickly and found the rank listing before long. After entering the page, he effortlessly found that Huo Yao had come in first with a score of 150.

Huo Yanxi’s eyes hovered on the screen for a long time before he started to move his fingers. He caught sight of Lu Xia’s name after he scrolled further down.

If Huo Yanxi had not brought up the topic of the quiz and his parents did not tell him about his little sister’s score, he might have gone on presuming that she had lousy grades. He might even have kept feeling proud of his foster sister instead...

When Huo Yanxi recalled his recent attitude, he pulled his hair in frustration before throwing his phone aside and driving off.

It was just a preliminary test, so it was no big deal.

On Monday

Huo Yao was called to the Principal’s office as soon as she got to the school.

“Huo Yao, long time no see,” said the Principal as he beamed at Huo Yao the moment he saw her. He seemed particularly warm and courteous.

Huo Yao bowed and politely greeted him. “Hello, what did you need me for?”

“I’ve been caught up with work since the school term started and then went on a business trip. I didn’t expect that rumors of you using connections to enter the school would spread like this.”

The Principal’s face sank and he continued apologetically. “It’s all my fault that this misunderstanding arose. I didn’t put my point across to the teachers clearly enough. Don’t worry, Huo Yao. I’ll clear your name.”

Huo Yao looked at the Principal in surprise.

She composed herself and shook her head as she replied in a calm manner. “It’s okay. Since the rumors are unfounded, they will stop in time. The more I defend myself, the more suspicion I arouse.”

The Principal was stunned. He did not expect such nonchalance from her. Then again, geniuses like Huo Yao usually did not really care what others thought about them. He was the one... who seemed narrow-minded now.

Huo Yao continued speaking with an ambiguous smile. “Wouldn’t it be a bigger slap on their faces if I used my ability to prove myself?”

The Principal smiled as he shook his head. He walked over to the water dispenser and got her some water. He said, “I feel optimistic about your results for the National Quiz Contest.”

Huo Yao took the glass of water and mulled over something before she spoke next. “I hadn’t signed up for the quiz.”

The Principal coughed uneasily and gestured to her to take a seat. He said sheepishly, “I was the one who signed up on your behalf.”
