"Since you are here, there is one thing I want you to be clear about today, and I hope you can complete it." He Xiaoman has regained that noble posture to speak.
Although what she said was hope, the meaning she expressed was different.
The corners of Huo Yao's lips twitched, and before he could speak, He Xiaoman's mother, Yang Qiuhua, who was the grandmother who raised the original owner, came out of the room.
She patted He Xiaoman's arm with her hand to signal her not to go too far, then she turned her eyes to Huo Yao, her expression softened subconsciously, "Yaoyao is back, how is the game going?"
Huo Yao hummed lightly, and lazily replied: "It's okay."
"Win the prize?" Yang Qiuhua's voice became more excited.
"Well, first place." Huo Yao replied indifferently, without any look of pride between her brows and eyes, as if winning the first place was easy for her.
When Yang Qiuhua heard this, he was so happy that he wiped away his tears, "Good boy."
He Xiaoman next to him frowned, and asked the old lady for no reason: "What competition won the first place?"
Yang Qiuhua looked at her, raised the corners of his lips, and said with some pride: "You don't know, our Yaoyao not only has very good academic performance, but also..."
When He Xiaoman saw that the old lady didn't answer her question directly, but instead praised Huo Yao for his good academic performance, he immediately lost interest in hearing the answer.
She raised her hand impatiently, and interrupted: "Okay, I already understand, and you, there is no need to deliberately set up a person for her in front of me. With her grades, even the key high schools in Shangxian County failed. No qualifications, if not for the money from our Lu family, maybe she can only study in a vocational high school."
After a pause, He Xiaoman gave Huo Yao a sneering look, "This fish eye is a fish eye, and it will never be a pearl."
When Yang Qiuhua heard this, he subconsciously looked at Huo Yao, fearing that she would feel uncomfortable, so he hurriedly explained: "You haven't cared about her all these years, you don't even know that Yaoyao is now..."
He Xiaoman snorted, and interrupted again disapprovingly, "Mom, she is not my biological daughter of He Xiaoman, nor your granddaughter, her surname is Huo, no matter whether she studies well or not, she is the same as me. It doesn't matter, and I don't want to know."
Yang Qiuhua's face froze, and the unfinished words were stuck in her throat. After a while, she said in a muffled voice: "Yaoyao, she is my granddaughter!"
He Xiaoman pinched the center of her eyebrows. I really don't know what kind of ecstasy soup the old lady was given by Huo Yao. The granddaughter who got it back didn't like it, but she liked this uneducated fake!
"She has enjoyed seventeen years of happiness in our Lu family, while my own daughter has suffered seventeen years outside. Mom, please be sober, don't mistake your relatives!"
"You treat her as a relative, maybe she is just using you to cheat some money from our family to subsidize her parents' family..."
"Shut up!" Yang Qiuhua trembled with anger, "I brought up Yaoyao. I know what kind of person she is better than you. Don't use your methods to maliciously speculate on her."
He Xiaoman's face turned livid, "Good and evil are irrelevant, Mom, I think you are really sick and confused!"
Yang Qiuhua was over sixty years old, and had a heart disease. When he was stimulated by He Xiaoman's words, his face turned pale, and he pressed his fist tightly to his chest.
Seeing this, Huo Yao put the things in his hands on the ground, walked quickly to the old lady, helped her to sit on the bamboo chair next to her, and at the same time held her wrist with his right hand.
