Brother Tian could understand if she was not close to her older brother, but it was strange for her not to be close to her foster parents, as well.

Brother Tian touched his nose.

What kind of celebrity did he find for himself?

Lu Xia gathered her thoughts. She looked at her agent and stood up. “I will try since my foster parents used to be quite good to me.”

Although Brother Tian did not trust her words completely, there was at least some hope.

“Go on. I will wait for your call. Also, give me your Weibo password so that I can arrange for someone to write an apology and post it online.”

Lu Xia lowered her eyelids and replied softly. “There’s no need for an apology.”

It was futile to post an apology now and would only make the netizens think that she was pretentious.

Brother Tian mulled over it and did not insist upon it in the end. “Fine. Up to you.”

“I’m off.”

Lu Xia picked up her mask and sunglasses before leaving the room.

Brother Tian watched from behind as she left. Among all his celebrities, she was probably the one to court disaster the earliest in history.

After being popular for a few months, she was boycotted.

He must be suffering from bad luck this year!

Brother Tian sighed.

Lu Xia hailed a cab, and headed for the Huo residence.

She stood outside the estate for a long time after getting off the cab and watched as people came and went in the lobby. After mustering her courage, she entered the place.

She went into the lift and pressed the button. She became anxious as the lift rose.

Lu Xia did not know how her foster parents would feel about this or whether they would help. She did not know if they would ignore her because she had attempted to ruin Huo Xiang’s reputation.

The lift chimed its arrival when she reached the floor. Lu Xia trembled as she watched the door open and suddenly had the urge to run back.

At the thought of reviving her career, she inhaled deeply and walked out of the lift. She walked up to their entrance before she raised her hand and pressed the doorbell.

Time passed, second by second. Lu Xia stood at the door for five minutes, but no one answered the door.

She pressed it again.

There was still no answer after a few minutes.

Lu Xia frowned. Was everyone out?

She raised her hand to check her watch. It was already almost 6:00 pm. In theory, someone should have been home by now.

Since her foster parents were not expecting her today, they were probably not trying to avoid her.

Lu Xia pressed the doorbell a few more times. It seemed that they were really out.

Not a single soul was home. She wondered where they could have gone. Lu Xia exhaled before she took out her phone and swiped for Song Ning’s number. After hesitating for a few seconds, she clicked on it.

Her phone got through, but no one answered. Before long, a mechanical voice came indicating that the user was unavailable.

Lu Xia hung up the phone and stopped trying. Instead, she leaned against the wall powerlessly and waited.

She did not know how long she stood there for. She waited until her legs were numb, but no one from the Huo family came home, and Song Ning did not call her back.

Lu Xia’s mood sank as time progressed. Resentment intensified in her heart.

She instinctively raised her head and looked when she heard the lift opening up.
