Chapter 645: Reported

Huo Yulin took the pill bottle and acknowledged her.

Huo Yao yawned before she curled up on the couch lazily.

Refining medicine was a particularly exhausting affair. A lot of focus was required to make high-quality medicine.

Huo Yulin noticed how tired she was, so he did not speak further. He got up to pour her some warm water before sitting down quietly.

He proceeded to pick up his book and continued reading.

In an instant, the living room became quiet until a phone call broke the silence.

Huo Yao’s phone was ringing. She pulled it out of her pocket unhurriedly to see an unknown number calling.

Her fingers paused for two seconds before she answered the phone. A middle-aged man’s voice quickly came through.

The moment Huo Yao heard him talking, she frowned and hung up altogether.

What was with all this sudden enthusiasm? People from the Lu family kept trying to get in touch with her recently. This time, it was Lu Hongwen.

In less than a minute, her phone rang once more with the same number appearing on the screen.

Impatience swept across Huo Yao’s face before she rejected the call.

Huo Yulin raised his head to glance at her.

Huo Yao detected him looking at her, so she waved her phone. “I’ve been getting a lot of phone calls from scammers.”

“You should install some anti-harassment software,” said Huo Yulin softly.

“I will do it now.” Huo Yao nodded. She tapped on her phone and blacklisted the number.

Meanwhile, at the Lu family.

No matter how many times Lu Hongwen called his foster daughter, he was unable to get through. His face looked annoyed when he realized that Huo Yao blacklisted him.

He tossed his phone onto the coffee table with a clang.

He Xiaoman was sitting beside him. She was startled and frowned. “What’s with your temper?”

Lu Hongwen did not answer her. Instead, he turned to look at her and asked. “Can you call up Huo Yao?”

He Xiaoman pursed her lips before she replied coldly. “She blacklisted me after she returned to her biological family.”

“Did you get blacklisted as well?” Lu Hongwen frowned even harder.

He did not expect his cowardly and easygoing foster daughter to undergo such huge changes in her personality.

He Xiaoman noticed him saying that he was also blacklisted, so she could not help asking. “Don’t tell me that you have been trying to call her all this time?”

Lu Hongwen acknowledged her words softly.

He Xiaoman shook her head. “Stop looking to get insulted. Our family isn’t good enough for her anymore, so you can forget about getting her to help you.”

“Not good enough for her?” Lu Hongwen pursed his lips. Since she was such an ingrate, she could not blame them for turning against her.

In any case, it was impossible for Lu Corporation to win the government project.

He Xiaoman glanced at him and found his expression to be a little scary. She wanted to probe but was too scared to ask, so she shut her mouth.

Her husband had already been giving her a hard time recently.

On the same night, an anonymous report was sent to the disciplinary departmentl. Also, a letter revealing ethical problems was sent to the news agency.

It was the weekend the next day. Huo Yao and Huo Xiang were scheduled to appear on ‘Countryside Life With My Family’ as usual.

The mission for today was simply insane and all the guests were deadbeat. After they were done filming the program, everyone joked about beating up the director.

Wu Miao spent the day quietly observing Huo Yao.
