Since Huo Yanxi did not want to listen to his mother go on exaggerating about Huo Yao's studies, he changed the subject and asked her casually. "Didn't Yao sign up for the National Quiz Contest? How did you fare in the preliminary test?"
Huo Yanxi looked at Huo Yao and continued to speak without waiting for her reply. "Xiaxia signed up for the quiz too. Her results were pretty good and came in amongst the top 10."
He did not say Lu Xia came in 6th, so as not to embarrass her.
Huo Yao's eyebrows twitched slightly but she didn't speak up.
Song Ning and Huo Jinyan did not seem surprised at all when they heard this. Instead…
"Oh, Xiaxia did pretty well," said Song Ning as she nodded patronizingly.
Huo Jinyan also commented rather calmly. "Lu Xia always did well in school. It's no surprise that she made it into the top 10."
But no matter how well Lu Xia did, she could not surpass their daughter!
