Chapter 1618 - 1618 She Was An Imposter
1618 She Was An Imposter
Lu Xia was just some imposter who looked like Huo Yao on the surface. She did not deserve anything from the Huo family!
“Do you really think she belongs to your family?” Lu Xia raised her head and laughed. By now, she spoke without hesitation. “She’s so different now. Are you blind? Can’t you see?”
Since they wanted to make her life hard, she was not going to make things easy for Huo Yao either.
Huo Changfeng looked at Lu Xia mildly.
Even though Lu Xia was laughing, she was observing Huo Changfeng’s expression. Owing to his reaction, it was impossible for her to read his mind.
She simply continued. “Even though this might sound incredible, it’s the truth. The so-called eldest daughter of the Huo family isn’t the real Huo Yao. She might look the same on the outside, but she’s definitely different inside… ”
Before she could finish her sentence, Xie punched Lu Xia, making her pass out.
“Sure enough, she’s nuts.” Xie pursed his lips.
What was she talking about? She must be really bonkers.
Xie raised his head and looked at Huo Changfeng. Since he simply sat quietly without speaking, he could not help asking. “Chief Steward, are you buying her words? She’s clearly trying to sow discord.”
Huo Changfeng glanced at Xie. “Do you think I’m stupid?”
“No. I’m the one who’s stupid,” said Xie promptly.
Huo Changfeng veered his eyes and stopped looking at him.
Xie cleared his throat. He picked up Lu Xia who had passed out. “In that case, allow me to take my leave.”
Huo Changfeng acknowledged softly. He closed his eyes and leaned on the couch.
After some time, he gradually opened his eyes.
Huo Changfeng moved the wooden bead bracelet on his wrist gently as his mind drifted away thinking about something.
He finally snapped out of his thoughts when the phone rang.
“Hi, Master Jinfeng.” Huo Changfeng straightened his back and spoke reverently.
“I heard something occurred at the university. What happened?” asked Huo Jinfeng with a frown on his face.
Huo Changfeng spoke candidly. He shared the events that had transpired today and told Huo Jinfeng what he thought about the matter.
Huo Jinfeng had no feelings toward his previous niece. However, he said coldly, “Does this mean the people involved in the research tried to touch Yao again?”
Huo Changfeng nodded and replied firmly. “That’s right.”
“What do they want with her anyway?” asked Huo Jinfeng.
“They probably want to experiment with her.” That was all Huo Changfeng managed to squeeze out of Lu Xia.
Huo Jinfeng inhaled deeply and responded with great restraint. “Send more people to keep an eye on her. If necessary, send her back home as soon as possible.”
Huo Changfeng went quiet briefly. He thought about what Chen Ming mentioned about Huo Yao. “Perhaps Miss Huo is capable of defending herself. Master Jinfeng, didn’t you see her the other day? I’m sure you can tell she’s quite different.”
Huo Jinfeng went quiet.
Huo Jinfeng pressed his temple awkwardly. He could not embarrass himself, so he sneered with a straight face. “That goes without saying. She’s my niece. Of course, she’s very special.”
Huo Changfeng’s lips twitched.
Was Master Jinfeng blindly praising Miss Huo?
“Enough. I’m hanging up.”
Huo Jinfeng hung up the phone in annoyance.
Huo Yao was his biological niece, but he had failed to see her! He could not even compare to an outsider who could see her all the time.

Meanwhile, at the hotel.
After Huo Yao had left the police station, she did not leave her hotel room.
