Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Huo Yao’s fingers paused while on the phone.
A moment later, she looked up slowly.
The gentle, pale light in the car cast a hue over her face, offsetting some of the sharpness in her eyes.

“Yes.” She replied without any emotion.

Lu Xia blinked.
Somehow, in this moment, she felt Huo Yao was quite seductive, especially when complimented by her hoarse voice.

Lu Xia stopped her thoughts from showing on her face and put on a forced smile.
“I heard from my mother that when you left my grandmother’s place, you obtained all the documents for school transfer.”

She had deliberately stressed upon the words ‘my mother’ and ‘my grandmother’.
Of course, one would not notice if one did not listen carefully.

Huo Yao grinned and darted a meaningful look towards Lu Xia.

Lu Xia felt her heart miss a beat.
Immediately, she looked away to avoid eye contact with Huo Yao.
The natural grace had disappeared from Lu Xia’s voice but she continued speaking, “Have you picked out a school yet? I can ask my father to help if you need it.
My mother told me that your grades weren’t exactly…”

“Thank you, but no.
I have decided upon which school to attend.” Huo Yao cut her off, carelessly.

The word ‘great’ remained stuck in Lu Xia’s throat.
A long moment later, she managed to speak even though the smile had frozen on her face unnaturally now.
“Have you? Which one?”

Huo Yanxi, who was busy driving, was surprised to hear this as well.

Because of his work, Huo Yanxi was away from home often.
Even so, he was aware that his parents had been bothered about the school transfer.
They were contemplating which school to choose for his baby sister who had been taken away by another family at birth and grew up in a small county after that.

He had realised that his parents’ struggle stemmed from the fact that his sister’s grades were bad.
But his parents were unwilling to send her off to an average school.
At the same time, they were worried that she could get an inferiority feeling even if they found some connections and managed to get her admitted to a prominent school.
This was because she may fall behind in her studies in the new prominent school as well…
