Chapter 633: Unspeakable Relationship

Huo Yao removed the acupuncture needles 30 minutes later.

Huo Yulin had already fallen asleep during the process. Her hands paused as she covered him with the blanket when she accidentally saw his neck.

There was a ghastly scar on his skin and she could imagine how badly injured he must have been back in the day.

Huo Yao gathered her thoughts before covering him with the blanket.

Huo Tingrui stood up and asked softly in astonishment. “Is that all?”

Would he be able to sleep after Huo Yao performed some acupuncture?

Huo Yao nodded. She walked up to the side and lit a stick of incense.

The faint scent of herbs and sandalwood spread throughout the room.

“Brother Tingrui, let’s go,” said Huo Yao as she picked up her box.

She was clearly trying to tell Huo Tingrui not to disturb Huo Yulin.

Huo Tingrui quickly caught on. However, he could not help feeling jealous suddenly.

He recalled that Huo Yao had never treated him so affectionately before.

Before long, the two of them left the room and closed the door behind them. Just as Huo Yao was about to head back to her room, she halted in her steps and turned to tilt her head sideways.

She looked at Huo Tingrui and asked. “Did Lu Xia have something to do with Brother Yulin’s abduction?”

“Huh?” Huo Tingrui was stunned.

He composed himself and said, “How did you know?”

“Dad told me about it,” replied Huo Yao.

Huo Tingrui heaved a sigh of relief. These days, he had to ask before he could tell Huo Yao anything about the family. Otherwise, his parents would inexplicably end up blaming him.

Huo Tingrui pursed his lips and smiled coolly. “Even if she had anything to do with it, it is long over.”

He paused before he continued. “It’s getting late. Why don’t you go to bed? It’s a school day for you tomorrow.”

“Sure.” Huo Yao did not keep probing when she saw his reaction, so she opened the door and went into her room.

Huo Tingrui looked at her closed door. He contemplated deeply before sighing softly.

Ever since Lu Hongwen learned from his wife that his foster daughter had something to do with the government project bidding, he secretly investigated her. After several days, he finally received some fruitful news.

Huo Yao definitely knew Lin Shuwen. It even seemed as though she had some unspeakable relationship with the city mayor, Fang Chen.

It was easy to guess what kind of relationship a senior student could have with a powerful man.

More importantly, he could get connected to Fang Chen through his foster daughter.

Lu Hongwen called Lu Xia to the study.

Lu Hongwen sat down in front of the desk and looked at his daughter kindly. “How are things at school?”

Lu Xia frowned. She did not know what her father was up to, so she hesitated before nodding. “Everything is fine. It’s almost time for the exam, so I am busy studying.”

Lu Hongwen opened his drawer and retrieved a bank card before he stood up and walked over to her.

“I haven’t paid much attention to you recently since I was busy at the office. Don’t girls like to shop? Why don’t you buy yourself a few things?”

Lu Xia could not help feeling even more puzzled. She was keenly aware of what her biological father was like. It was completely abnormal for him to suddenly offer money to her.

Lu Xia did not extend her hand to take the card right away.

“Dad, why are you suddenly giving me money?” said Lu Xia with a quizzical look on her face. “Is there something you want to talk to me about?”
