Bab 152: Did Huo Yao Bully You?

He Xiaoman eased up a little and said, "Tell us in advance next time. Or else I will get worried."

"Mhm," replied Lu Xia gently.

Then she walked into the living room and sat on the couch in a distracted manner.

He Xiaoman frowned and said, "Did someone from the company bully you?"

Lu Xia picked up the couch cushion to hug it to her chest and curled her legs up. She shook her head without making eye contact.

"No, they didn't. They are pretty good to me," said Lu Xia in a soft voice.

He Xiaoman had never seen her daughter look like this, so she could not help probe her further. "Did something happen at school?"

He Xiaoman paused as a likely suspect crossed her mind. Her face sank and she said in a thundering tone, "Did Huo Yao bully you?"

Lu Xia leaned her head onto the cushion and did not utter a word. It made her seem even more pitiful.

BANG!
