Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

bullied for no reason? I have to call the Huos to see how they…”

Suddenly, Lu Xia was terrified.
She hurriedly put down the cushion in her arms and snatched He Xiaoman’s phone from her before she hit the dial button.
She said, “Mom, I’m really okay.
No sense in getting angry about irrelevant people.”

He Xiaoman frowned and said, “Xiaxia, give me the phone.”

Of course, Lu Xia refused.
Lu Xia placed the phone out of her reach before sitting beside her.
She patted her mother on the back and consoled her softly.
“Mom, I’m really fine.
You misunderstood.”

She paused for a couple of seconds and changed the subject.
“Oh yes.
The monthly test results are out.
My score is 670 and I stood tenth all across the level.”

He Xiaoman’s anger dissipated a little after she got distracted by the change of topic.
She said with a smile, “Your ranking improved by four to five places.
Not bad.”

Since her mother’s attention was diverted, Lu Xia finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Lu Ziming had been standing at the staircase listening to the conversation.
When he suddenly heard Lu Xia mentioning her grades, he scoffed.
“She has to cheat even for a contest.
This score of 670… tsk tsk… God knows if she earned them herself?”

Lu Xia overheard Lu Ziming’s scorning voice finding fault with her.
In a tone dripping with sarcasm, she said, “Please use your brains before you speak.”

“My bad.
I don’t know what brains are,” said Lu Ziming with a cheeky wave.

Lu Xia shook her head speechlessly before she said, “Lu Ziming, you…”

But He Xiaoman interrupted her in a loud voice.
“Enough.
Your younger brother doesn’t know any better, but what about you? Why get stubborn with him?”

In an instant, Lu Xia’s heart sank.
