Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Chapter 591: The Huo Family Seems Rather Well-Off

Despite her disappointment in He Xiaoman, she was Lu Xia’s biological mother after all. Lu Xia sat down on the couch. She looked at her mother, and asked calmly. “What happened?”

He Xiaoman leaned into the couch and said nothing for a long time.

Lu Xia sat beside her and slowly spun her phone casually.

Even without asking He Xiaoman, she had an inkling. They probably lost the bid on the old district project.

After some time, He Xiaoman seemed to gather her thoughts and looked at her biological daughter. She forced out a smile. “Our family doesn’t have a chance at winning the bid.”

Lu Xia was unsurprised by the outcome. After all, the Lu family did not win the bid in her past life either.

“It’s not easy to win this bid,” said Lu Xia with her legs crossed.

He Xiaoman frowned. This was the second time she had heard her daughter saying something similar and telling them to give up on the project.

“Even if Lu Corporation wants to expand into real estate, they don’t have to rely on this bid.” Lu Xia paused before she continued. “Instead, you can try winning projects from other provinces. After all, the real estate industry in this city is highly saturated. Unless we encounter a major economic crisis, nothing will change.”

Even though she could not remember everything about her past life, she had some recollection of what happened to their company.

Although she did not particularly like the family or her biological parents, there was no reason for her to stand by and watch the family decline.

Initially, He Xiaoman was displeased with her daughter’s negative attitude, but she could not help feeling surprised hearing how insightful Lu Xia was. Even though she was just an 18 year old senior, she had shocking depth when it came to business. Even though she had not been groomed for the family business, she seemed to be exceptionally talented.

“Who told you about such things?” He Xiaoman instinctively did not believe that her biological daughter would know such things.

Lu Xia pursed her lips and sighed airily. “No one taught me anything. I came to this conclusion after following the news.”

He Xiaoman narrowed her eyes. It appeared that her daughter was not a complete idiot. Her expression softened and she stopped talking about the bid.

After chatting about something else, He Xiaoman pretended to casually change the subject and said, “The Huo family seems rather well-off.”

Lu Xia felt as though something had stabbed her heart when she heard He Xiaoman’s remark.

In her past life, she thought that the Lu family was richer than the Huo family, so she returned to her biological family without hesitation. The Huo family ended up being truly rich but had simply kept a low profile.

Since she was reborn, she already knew everything that would transpire in this lifetime. Even if she did not reach the pinnacle, she could at least clean up the mess that she made in her past life.

Sadly, fate made a fool of her and she was reborn after she had returned to her biological family.

Lu Xia suppressed the sour taste in her mouth and did her utmost to seem natural as she replied ambiguously. “I’m not sure about the Huo family, but their boys have carved out good careers for themselves.”

Although she did not understand why her biological mother kept probing her about this, she knew that her mother could not have learned about the Huo family’s wealth from her mouth.

He Xiaoman scrutinized her daughter but did not notice anything amiss, so she said, “I recall that you were pretty close to their eldest son, right?”

Lu Xia clenched her fists tightly. “We used to be close, but not anymore.”
