Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss - Chapter 668

Chapter 668: No Idea What Kind Of Mess Her Family Was In

Lu Xia did not go back to school in the afternoon. After walking around outside for some time, she eventually went home.

The house was in chaos when she got back. It felt as though she had arrived in a warzone.

He Xiaoman was all alone in the massive villa as she sat slumped on the couch. Her face was incredibly haggard and she did not look like a member of high society at all. She did not react even the slightest when her daughter entered the door.

Lu Xia put down her designer bag and glanced at He Xiaoman. She proceeded to pour a glass of water, walked up to He Xiaoman, and gave it to her. “Here you go, Mom.”

He Xiaoman’s eyes were completely listless. After some time, she finally snapped out of her daze and gazed at Lu Xia.

She waved and rejected the water. “What are you doing here?”

The glass of water fell onto the ground with a sharp clang before broken glass and water splashed everywhere.

Lu Xia lowered her eyes without saying a word as she pulled her hand back and turned to pick up the pieces of glass on the ground. She tossed them into the bin nearby.

He Xiaoman was furious when Lu Xia ignored her. A thought crossed her mind and she quickly suppressed her anger.

She got up and pulled Lu Xia up. “Xiaxia, have you spoken to Huo Tingrui about it?”

Lu Xia inhaled deeply before she asked her mother. “What on earth happened? Why would he want to attack the Lu Corporation?”

“It is all your father’s fault. Your father sent someone to take pictures of Huo Yao with some government official. He sent it to a news agency and the agency posted them online… We didn’t expect Huo Tingrui to end up taking it out on Lu Corporation,” said He Xiaoman furiously.

Lu Xia finally caught on to the situation after hearing her mother’s explanation.

Initially, it did not dawn on her that the online incident had anything to do with her family. It turned out her father was the culprit who supplied the photo.

Considering Huo Tingrui’s temper, it was no wonder he would target Lu Corporation. Now the city mayor, Fang Chen, was also involved.

Lu Xia pressed her forehead. “Dad must be insane. How could he have done something so reckless? It’s no wonder we are in such huge trouble!”

“That’s why you need to beg Huo Tingrui to let us off. If he agrees to forgive us, there is still a chance for Lu Corporation,” roared He Xiaoman.

Lu Xia sneered as she shook her head when she realized how oblivious her mother was about the severity of leaking those photos. “Mom, don’t be naive. Huo Tingrui isn’t the person who wants us dead. It is the city hall who wants to finish us off.”

No one else would have dared to spread dirt on the city mayor! What was her father thinking?

“Weren’t they just some random pictures? Why would the city hall want to do that to us? In any case, your father said he sent those photos anonymously. How could anyone find out that we were the ones behind it?” said He Xiaoman deeply.

Lu Xia pursed her lips. “Do you really think we can get away by sending anonymous photos? The person in the photograph is the city mayor. Did you think someone like him would be incapable of finding out the truth?”

He Xiaoman really had no idea what kind of mess her family was in.

“The city mayor?” He Xiaoman was stunned.

All along, she thought it was just pictures of Huo Yao with some random government official.

Since it was the city mayor they were talking about, it made sense for Lu Corporation to suddenly end up being seized.

He Xiaoman suddenly stumbled and sat on the couch. After some time, an idea came to her mind.

She raised her head and looked at Lu Xia as she said hurriedly, “Then why don’t you ask Huo Yao to help? She is very close to Secretary Lin. If she is willing to speak on our behalf, Lu Corporation might be able to survive this.”
