Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

A distinct look of disappointment emerged on her face when she saw the caller ID on the screen.

She had thought that it was Huo Xiang.

Lu Xia’s fingers paused before she picked up the phone. She spoke gently as she walked out of school. “Brother Tian.”

“Have you convinced your brother?” asked Brother Tian candidly.

Lu Xia tightened her grip on her phone. “He seems to be busy. I couldn’t get in touch with him.”

Brother Tian frowned and said, “You have to act quickly. I heard your older brother has already signed the contract for the entertainment program.”

Lu Xia knew Huo Xiang was definitely appearing on the entertainment program, but he was uncontactable. What else could she do?

“Sure. You know how busy he can get. Sometimes, he takes a long time to reply,” explained Lu Xia unhurriedly with her eyes slightly lowered.

The moment Brother Tian heard her, he found it odd. He went quiet for a couple of seconds before he asked her. “But I heard your brother was hurt and resting at home.”

“I don’t think so,” replied Lu Xia almost instinctively.

In her previous life, she recalled Huo Xiang getting hurt. Things ended up really serious for him, and he even had to give up his career as a singer.

She attempted to recall the timeline of this happening but to no avail.

In her past life, she was oblivious to the Huo family’s genuine financial situation. She had felt deeply gratified by suddenly becoming a rich family’s daughter and experienced a major ego trip when she found out that her biological family was wealthy. Hence, she abandoned the Huo family and immediately reunited with the Lu family.

Hence, Lu Xia paid no attention to the Huo family after she reunited with the Lu family. She only found out how loaded the Huo family was after many things happened at the Lu family.

Sadly, it was too late for her by then.

Her agent’s voice came from the phone once more, making Lu Xia snap out of her thoughts.

“Well, I only heard about it. Since you’re his little sister, your info must be solid.”

Brother Tian was oblivious of the Lu and Huo families’ history. He merely knew that Lu Xia was from a rich family and her older brother was a top celebrity.

So he remained completely unsuspecting of Lu Xia. He only found it strange occasionally that her older brother never once offered help with her career.

“Sure. I’ll keep trying.” Lu Xia did her best to sound normal.

“Fine. Talk again.” He quickly hung up.

Lu Xia looked up and told herself that she had to keep trying. Even if she did not get along with her fourth older brother, he must have some feelings for her since they were siblings for over a decade.

Lu Xia’s mood lifted slightly. She put her phone back into her bag and continued heading out the school gate.

In the car.

Tong Yu looked at No.1 Middle School’s entrance. “When is our baby sister coming out?”

There were hordes of students outside the gate, but Huo Yao was nowhere to be seen.

Huo Xiang was sitting in the backseat looking at Weibo when he checked the time.

“She should be here soon,” replied Huo Xiang before touching his mask and preparing to get out of the car.

Tong Yu hurriedly called him back sitting in the driver’s seat. “Wait up! Why are you getting off? Everyone’s going to recognize you in this outfit.”

Tong Yu paused. “Don’t you remember the sensation you caused when you picked her up at the airport last night?” continued Tong Yu angrily.
