Meanwhile downstairs

“Mr. Huo might be busy.”

The receptionist kept calling until she received an automatic message indicating no one was available to answer the phone before she finally hung up and informed Lu Xia.

She knew Lu Xia was Huo Yanxi’s little sister. But Lu Xia did not make a prior appointment, so the receptionist did not dare to break the rules and allow her to go upstairs.

Lu Xia tightened her grip on the phone. Despite calling Huo Yanxi five or six times on his mobile phone, he refused to answer. Although she already saw this coming judging from his earlier attitude, she asked the receptionist to try to get Huo Yanxi on the landline one last time.

Lu Xia laughed in self-ridicule now that she lost all hope.

Initially, she thought Huo Yanxi wouldn’t ignore her so blatantly, but it seemed that she had been overoptimistic.

Even though she was Huo Yanxi’s foster sister and they used to be very close, she probably couldn’t even compare to even a hair strand on Huo Yao’s head now.

The receptionist seemed to detect Lu Xia’s sadness and wanted to console her. She raised her head and saw Huo Yanxi’s assistant coming out of the lift, so she waved at him quickly.

“Mr. Wang.”

Mr. Wang raised his head and caught sight of Lu Xia’s profile. He halted in his steps before he headed over to the receptionist. “Yes?”

After he got to the reception, he was promptly stunned to see it was Lu Xia.

Huo Yanxi had just brought up the Lu family and here they were already. Mr. Wang thought about the Lu Corporation’s situation and the foul mood Huo Yanxi was in and quickly joined the dots. That last call Huo Yanxi received before he left must be from the Lu family.

“Erm... Mr. Huo’s little sister is here to see him. Is he busy? I called the internal line, but no one answered,” said the receptionist.

Lu Xia looked at Mr. Wang. Her eyes looked tired and her face was pale. She seemed to be absolutely miserable.

The veins on Mr. Wang’s forehead throbbed. He nodded to Lu Xia and said, “Mr. Huo is out for a business lunch and isn’t around.”

The receptionist was puzzled to hear this. “Hmm? I was downstairs the entire time, but I didn’t see Mr. Huo leave...”

Mr. Wang cleared his throat and cut her off. “Maybe you happened to miss him. He genuinely isn’t in the office now.”

“Fine. Maybe I missed him when I was in the bathroom,” reasoned the receptionist.

“Uh huh.” Mr. Wang looked at Lu Xia and said politely, “Miss Huo, why do you want to see him? I can help pass a message.”

Lu Xia pursed her lips and replied coldly. “It’s fine.”

It was blatantly clear to her that Mr. Wang was hinting at her to make herself scarce.

The moment she finished her sentence, she turned to leave. Two steps later, she halted and turned to look at Mr. Wang. “Tell Huo Yanxi, we have been siblings for over ten years. He didn’t have to be so ruthless about it.”

The assistant frowned slightly as he watched Lu Xia from behind.

Ruthless?

Those words were simply too strong.

After all, Huo Yanxi did not do anything to the Lu Corporation or the Lu family.

Mr. Wang contemplated before he decided to pass Lu Xia’s message to Huo Yanxi via text message.

Lu Xia stood by the roadside and did not know where to go. She watched as the cars came and went while thoughts swimmed across her mind suddenly.

Memories of her life at the Huo family seemed particularly clear at this moment.

She did not have to live cautiously like she did at the Lu residence. Also, the Huo family was warm and loving, unlike the Lu family. Despite her willfulness, her foster parents and siblings loved her...

Lu Xia felt teary-eyed and was filled with regret.

Sadly, it was too late to regret. From the moment she chose to reunite with the Lu family, this was destined to happen.

All the love she had ever received from the Huo family would disappear without a trace.
