Chapter 377: It’s Her Nature
Huo Yao raised her brow without exposing him. She stood up after finishing the last sip of soya bean milk. “I’m done.”
Huo Jinyan stood up since he was done eating as well. “Let’s go. I’ll send you to school.”
The two of them left home before long.
Song Ning went back to her room to wash up and change.
Only Huo Tingrui and Huo Xiang remained at the dining table.
Huo Xiang raised his head to look at his second older brother and said, “Brother Tingrui, someone posted an audio recording on Weibo last night and cleared my name.”
Huo Tingrui had not seen Weibo, so he was surprised to hear this. “What recording?”
He pulled out his phone and opened the application.
A complicated expression emerged on Huo Tingrui’s face when he heard the audio file. He did not think his ex-little sister was capable of pulling this off.
Although he was displeased when Lu Xia could not wait to leave the Huo family, he thought she was doing it out of vanity because of how rich her biological family was. Hence, he let it go eventually.
Huo Tingrui did not expect her to be so wicked that she would seek revenge on them by attacking Huo Xiang’s reputation and future. If this recording did not surface, things would not have fallen to Huo Xiang’s advantage. Even if Huo Tingrui managed to defend his little brother in court, nothing could have been done to undo the damage already inflicted on him.
This was no longer simply a question of being pretentious or willful but a matter of character.
“I can’t believe she ended up like this,” sighed Huo Tingrui.
Huo Xiang knew whom his second older brother was referring to. He replied somewhat expressionlessly. “It’s in her nature.”
It was in his foster sister’s nature to destroy things that she could not possess.
“What do you plan to do?” Huo Tingrui raised his brow and glanced at Huo Xiang.
Huo Xiang put down his half-eaten breakfast. Moments later, he said, “Everyone has to be held accountable for their actions. She ought to have considered the consequences before she did it.”
“Okay,” said Huo Tingrui quietly before he continued. “I think we should send this audio file to Brother Yanxi.”
Huo Xiang knew what he was driving at. After all, Huo Yanxi had always been close to Lu Xia. If Lu Xia convinced Huo Yanxi to help her again, it would certainly affect the atmosphere at home.
“I’ll swing by his office later,” said Huo Xiang.
“Uh huh.” Huo Tingrui paused before he said, “Since Mom and Dad don’t look at Weibo, there’s no need to tell them about this.”
If they found out the daughter whom they doted on for over ten years ended up framing their loved ones, that would be quite heartbreaking for them.
Huo Xiang nodded before he lowered his head and went quiet.
Forget it. They still had to figure out how Lu Xia came into possession of his song. Maybe they could tell their parents after they found out about it.

News about Lu Xia framing Lucky exploded online last night, so most of the students were talking about it at school.
Since Meng Ying was the only person in class who knew Huo Yao was Lucky’s biological little sister, Meng Ying did not let Huo Yao off.
“How did your brother’s song end up in Lu Xia’s hands?” After listening to the recording, Meng Ying could not help finding Lu Xia’s words odd. Hence, she kept thinking about this.
Huo Yao glanced at her and smiled ambiguously as she shrugged. “Supernatural powers?”
Meng Ying’s lips twitched. “Sister Big Shot, please treat my question seriously.”
