Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Chapter 546: The Lu Family’s Short-sightedness

Lu Xia looked at her father and could tell that he was unhappy, so she instantly looked away and stopped talking.

These people were so shortsighted.

No wonder Lu Corporation was unable to go far in her previous life.

He Xiaoman glanced at Lu Xia and could not help reproving her. However, she did her best to control her temper when she spoke to her earnestly. “Auspiciousness means a lot to businessmen, so stop talking like this from now on, okay?”

Her father had always been a superstitious man, so he could not help feeling annoyed when Lu Xia told him to give up.

Lu Xia frowned before she acknowledged softly. “Got it.” She paused for a few seconds before she added. “If you trust me, you should drop this bid as soon as you can.”

The moment she finished her sentence, her father became really furious.

“You are getting more and more insensible by the day…” He Xiaoman glanced at Lu Xia before she turned to comfort her husband.

Since they refused to heed Lu Xia’s warning, she pursed her lips and stood up with the glass in her hand. “I’m going back to my room to revise.”

She left the living room and quickly went upstairs without even looking at Lu Ziming when she bumped into him at the staircase.

Lu Ziming pursed his lips. He was still holding his phone and playing a video game as he swaggered over to the living room and sat down on the couch like a privileged brat. “Mum, don’t you think Lu Xia has become a little odd recently?”

Lu Xia used to be so proud, but now she acts as though their entire family had done her injustice.

He Xiaoman turned her head to look at her son and said angrily, “How could you call her by her full name? She is your big sister after all.”

Lu Ziming continued looking at his phone. “I wouldn’t dare to keep such a scheming older sister around.”

He Xiaoman shook her head. She recalled something and said, “You are turning 16 in a few days, so your father and I are planning a big party for you. You are welcome to invite your school friends to join us.”

Lu Ziming had just finished the game when he heard what his mother said. He looked up at her. “Huh? It’s just a birthday. Do you have to plan a big party?”

“That goes without saying. You are the future of our family, so we have to throw an impressive party,” said He Xiaoman.

Lu Ziming contemplated before he asked her. “Can I really invite anyone?”

He Xiaoman looked at him and asked rhetorically. “Who do you want to invite?”

“That crazy girl,” blurted Lu Ziming.

He Xiaoman looked puzzled.

Lu Ziming coughed once before he placed his phone in his pocket and said, “I meant Lu… Huo Yao.”

He Xiaoman finally realized who he was referring to. In the past, she would have reprimanded her son for inviting Huo Yao of all people. But now things had changed.

Since she wanted to learn more about the Huo family, she did not seem angry at all when she nodded and agreed readily. “Sure thing.”

Lu Ziming did not expect his mother to be open to his suggestion, so he glanced at her quizzically. When he noticed that she was not angry, he continued. “I wonder if she will even come.”

Lu Ziming could not help feeling infuriated when he recalled how fierce and arrogant that crazy woman was when he had waited for her outside No.1 Middle School previously.

A long time ago, he vaguely recalled hearing his parents mention how poor the Huo family was. Now that his parents were throwing him a grand party, it was the perfect opportunity for him to make Huo Yao envious and remind her of the hard times she fell upon after leaving the Lu family.
