"Why are you here today?" The old lady said angrily, and after a pause, she seemed to have just seen Lu Xia beside He Xiaoman, "Lu Xia is here too."
The tone also sounded obviously perfunctory.
Lu Xia's expression froze, but she still smiled and called grandma.
"Why can't I come? Because Xia Xia and I are still outsiders, shouldn't we be here?" He Xiaoman almost laughed at his mother.
"Then why don't you make a phone call before you come?" the old lady whispered.
If she knew that He Xiaoman would bring Lu Xia, she would never let Yaoyao come here today.
"Xia Xia specially bought a lot of things to see you today, and you still act like you don't want to see her. Mom, can we stop being so partial?"
He Xiaoman felt that the old lady had been poisoned by her adoptive daughter, that she was not enthusiastic about her biological granddaughter, and preferred a fake one, so there was no way out.
"You haven't seen much before!" the old lady said sarcastically.
He Xiaoman raised his forehead, "Forget it, I don't argue with you so much, I just hope that your bowl of water will be flat."
"Whoever likes to argue with you, it's because you have a questioning face when you come here, and your good mood is ruined by you." Today, the old lady has fully displayed her essence.
He Xiaoman's face turned dark in an instant. Seeing this, Lu Xia hurried over and said with a smile, "Mom, didn't you buy a set of jadeite for grandma? Take it out and show it to grandma."
As Lu Xia said, she hurriedly asked the butler next to her to take out the box, and then smiled and took the old lady's arm, "Grandma, don't be angry, let's sit down and try if you like this jewelry, eh?"
With Lu Xia in the middle to ease the atmosphere, the old lady didn't have to keep a straight face and let Lu Xia pull her to sit down beside the sofa.
However, the old lady looked at the jadeite bracelet that Lu Xia took out, she didn't reach out her hand, and directly refused: "I'm quite old, and I don't like wearing these things, you should take them back."
Lu Xia's movements froze. Seeing the resolute look of the old lady, she couldn't force it, so she put all the jade into the box in embarrassment.
Soon, the old lady set her eyes on Huo Yao who was lazily playing with her mobile phone on the lounge chair not far away, her eyes subconsciously revealed a soft color, and said, "Yaoyao, why don't you take a look at this jewelry, you do you like it?"
Huo Yao, who was suddenly caught by the cue, raised his head and blinked in confusion.
When He Xiaoman heard this, her temples twitched, she walked over, and said speechlessly: "Mom, she is a student, what kind of jade is she wearing?"
The old lady curled her lips and said: "She can't wear it, I can give it to Yaoyao's biological mother."
He Xiaoman's eyes widened, "Mom, are you crazy? Do you know how much these jadeites are worth?"
The old lady looked at her with strange eyes, "Aren't you going to give these things to me?"
The implication is, isn't it normal for me to give my things to whom
"The thing was for you, but you didn't let you give it away!" He Xiaoman took a deep breath, trying to suppress the mania in his heart.
The old lady wanted to say something, but Lu Xia preempted her. She glanced at Huo Yao and said, "Grandma, this set of jewelry was specially chosen by Mom for you. It's expensive, and it's not suitable to give away. Look, if it’s not like this, I’ll go to the mall to pick out a new gift for Huo Yao to bring back to her mother, okay?”
