Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Chapter 123: Figure Out Who Your Real Family Is

Huo Yanxi’s eyes landed on Huo Yao’s phone, but he did not take it. Moments later, he looked sideways and said deeply, “If you truly didn’t take her grandmother away, then why did you keep disconnecting Lu family’s calls?”

“Isn’t it normal to hang up on them? Yao’s foster mother always ill-treated her. Why should she answer just because they called her? This logic is crazy,” said Huo Tingrui calmly from the side.

“Yes, exactly. Tingrui is right. If it were me, I wouldn’t have merely cut her call. I would have blacklisted her eons ago,” said Song Ning. She did not like the Lu family at all.

Huo Yanxi looked at Huo Tingrui with a rather complicated expression on his face. It was one thing if their parents pampered their little sister blindly, but even his sharp second brother was...

Moments later, Huo Yanxi shook his head and said disappointedly, “I don’t care if you indulge her, but she has to answer for what happened to Xiaxia’s grandmother, no matter what.”

Huo Yanxi’s gaze landed on Huo Yao once more as he said, “Come with me to the Lu family. Since you didn’t have anything to do with the matter, then you can explain...”

Before he finished his sentence, his phone rang. He paused and instinctively glanced at the caller ID.

It was Lu Xia. Huo Yanxi did not go on. He picked up the phone and answered it. “Hello, Xiaxia...”

“Brother Yanxi, we found Granny. She went back to her hometown in Fuxian County. Sorry, my mother misunderstood Yaoyao. It was my fault for overreacting. I shouldn’t have called you because I couldn’t get a hold of Yaoyao. I hope I didn’t cause you any trouble...”

Lu Xia’s delicate voice came through the phone. She sounded apologetic, on the brink of tears, and filled with remorse.

Huo Yanxi recalled how he furiously grilled and accused Huo Yao a few moments ago and his mind instantly went blank.

Did Huo Yanxi misjudge her again?

“... Brother Yanxi, are you there?” asked Lu Xia cautiously and somewhat pitifully when she failed to hear Huo Yanxi respond after a long time.

Huo Yanxi closed his eyes and replied. “Okay.”

Then he hung up without speaking further.

Lu Xia could not help feeling vexed when she heard Huo Yanxi’s cold answer. She held onto her phone tightly for a long time before she let go.

Huo Yanxi was no longer as aggressive when he turned his eyes towards Huo Yao again. His lips parted, but it felt as though something had blocked his throat. It felt unbearable. After a long time, he did not manage to squeeze even a word through his teeth.

Huo Yao calmly looked at the complicated expression on his face and said indifferently, “It appears you found out what truly happened.”

“I...”

“I’m heading upstairs,” said Huo Yao without giving Huo Yanxi the chance to speak any further. She glanced at her parents and second older brother in the living room before heading up the stairs unhurriedly.

“Brother Yanxi, we all know you have always been close to Lu Xia. But let me remind you that you have to figure out who your biological family is,” said Huo Tingrui indifferently before he went upstairs too.

Huo Yanxi’s face burned in shame the moment he heard his brother. He felt sapped of all energy. His phone slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.
