Lu Xia pursed her lips and then said good-naturedly, "I think I was pretty lucky to make it into the national finals."
But her father frowned severely. "Didn't my friend from the Education Association give you the notes? Also, what's going on with Huo Yao? She stood first with full marks. Why couldn't you outdo even the likes of her?"
Lu Xia knew that her father would say that. She laughed gently and explained in a mellow voice. "I did get the notes, but my fantastic little brother gave them away to her secretly."
Lu Ziming quickly stood up and denied her accusation hotly. "How can you blame me for your bad performance? Do I have nothing better to do than steal your notes and give them to Huo Yao? Aren't you going too far?"
Lu Xia did not continue clarifying. Instead, she removed a courier bill from her bag and said calmly, "You sent this, right?"
