Lu Xia and Wu Miao did not go on chatting for long.
After leaving the restaurant, Lu Xia recalled something and told Wu Miao solemnly, "I still want to remind you not to offend Huo Yao. You can't afford to provoke her."
It was Wu Miao's second time hearing Lu Xia say that she could not afford to offend Huo Yao. Although Lu Xia had told Wu Miao a lot about Huo Yao, Lu Xia never got around to explaining why she could not offend Huo Yao.
It was human nature to be curious. Moreover, Wu Miao did not appreciate the suspense. She narrowed her eyes and asked her. "Why can't I offend her? Is her backer very powerful?"
The Wu family had been landlords in the city for generations and were far richer than the Huo family. Also, they were connected to the Shen family in the capital. Hence, Wu Miao could not help turning a deaf ear to Lu Xia's repeated suggestion to steer clear of Huo Yao.
