Chapter 184: This Car Really Isn’t Worth Much!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Huo Yao lifted the car cover, and a flashy flying goddess logo fell into her view. Her hand paused mid-air. A slight look of surprise spread across her face. This was…
A Rolls-Royce?
Huo Yao raised her head and looked at her old man in shock. “Dad, is your quarterly bonus that high?”
“It’s okay,” replied Huo Jinyan nonchalantly. He looked at the confused look on his daughter’s face. Then he cleared his throat and said as a way of explanation, “It isn’t as expensive as you think. It’s just worth… a million or so.”
He recalled how Huo Yao mistook the company accountants as debt collectors, previously. If he told her that the car was worth ten millions, it might give her a scare, so he changed his mind about telling her the truth.
Since his daughter was a nerd who did nothing but study, she probably did not know much about cars.
Huo Yao’s lips twitched. She finally pulled the entire car cover off.
In an instant, a sophisticated looking Rolls-Royce Phantom emerged in front of her eyes.
Oh wow! A Rolls-Royce Phantom for a million? Who was the old man trying to fool?
“Are-you-sure-the-car-only cost a million?” asked Huo Yao in surprise. She dragged the word, ‘only’, for much longer.
Since Huo Jinyan had already lied, it was impossible for him to back out now. He coughed awkwardly and tried to maintain a straight face. Replying in an uncharacteristically solemn tone, he said, “Yes. It just looks flashy but isn’t worth that much!”
Huo Yao, “…”
She would be a fool to believe him.
Huo Jinyan did not dare make eye contact with his daughter. Instead, he lowered his head to check the time and said, “It’s getting late. Get in. I’ll send you to school.”
He quickly took out the key and unlocked the door before sliding into the driver’s seat.
His face reflected guilt.
20 minutes later, Huo Jinyan and Huo Yao arrived at school. The car was too flashy, so Huo Yao did not allow him to drop her at the school entrance and got off before they reached the gate.
The Lu family’s car arrived at the school at the same time. When the chauffeur spotted the Rolls-Royce turning around the corner, he spoke up in surprise. “That Rolls-Royce is a direct import. Anyone who can afford that car must be a big shot.”
Lu Xia was using her phone with her head lowered. She only raised her head to look out of the window a few moments after the chauffeur had commented about the Rolls-Royce. The car had left by the time she looked up.
Instead, she spotted Huo Yao walking unhurriedly on the sidewalk and heading for the school.
Slowly, her car went past Huo Yao.
Lu Xia’s expression turned angry when she recalled how Lu Ziming had sent the quiz notes to Huo Yao. After a moment, she told the chauffeur to pull up by the roadside.

Huo Yao halted in her steps. A coldness emanated from her exquisite features when she turned to look sideways. There was a nonchalant expression in her deep starry eyes. She raised her brow lazily when she realized that it was Lu Xia calling her.
Intense jealousy swept across Lu Xia’s eyes. She clenched her fists on her lap for a moment before letting go and composing herself.
“I suggest you quit the National Quiz Contest before the results are out,” said Lu Xia indifferently.
