Soon, He Xiaoman's voice came from the connected phone.
"Mom, why did you let that girl back to our house again? Do you know how badly our Lu family was harmed by their Huo family?"
Huo Yao narrowed his eyes when he heard this, how could He Xiaoman know that she came back here
Based on what she knew about the old lady, it was impossible for her to mention this to He Xiaoman.
He Xiaoman on the other end of the phone raised her hand and twirled her brows, before the 'old lady' could speak, and then continued: "Since you let that girl Huo Yao go back, why didn't you let Xia Xia in? How can you say that Xia Xia is your own granddaughter!"
Turning her head, He Xiaoman glanced at the daughter who just came back next to her. She had injuries on her hands and dirty clothes and coats, as if she had been greatly wronged.
Taking a deep breath, she said again: "Xia Xia came here specially to see you today, but you are like this... Oh, forget it, you should be upset if you talk too much..."
He Xiaoman was still talking on the phone, but Huo Yao didn't listen too much, and only got a message from her words that Lu Xia came back today.
Thinking about the second brother and third brother talking about Lu Xia when they were at home, and the abnormality of the third brother today... So, when he went to pick up the courier to buy soy sauce in the morning, he happened to meet Lu Xia
Huo Yao stroked the frame of the phone with her fingers, and waited for He Xiaoman on the other end to talk too much before she took the phone and walked to the back kitchen.
The old lady was making ginger tea, when she saw Huo Yao approaching with her mobile phone, she asked, "Yao, who called?"
Huo Yao didn't speak, just put the phone to her ear.
The old lady heard her daughter's voice from inside, she subconsciously glanced at Huo Yao, and then said in a muffled voice, "Xiaoman, do you have anything to do with me?"
He Xiaoman also heard the old lady's words on the phone, "Yao, who is calling?" At this moment, the whole person was a little annoyed and speechless. The old lady was not listening to all the feelings he said just now
He Xiaoman forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and did not repeat what he just said, but said patiently: "Mom, you don't turn on the speakerphone now, do you?"
Although the hands-free speaker is not turned on, the volume of the phone's internal speaker is also very loud, so it can naturally be heard by people in such a quiet night.
Huo Yao gave the old lady the mobile phone, and then went outside spontaneously.
The old lady looked at the back of Huo Yao walking away, and then replied: "No, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"You didn't ask that girl to listen, did you?" To make sure, He Xiaoman asked again.
The old lady frowned and said, "She has gone back to her room to sleep."
He Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, coughed and said, "Mom, where is the piece of jade that Dad left for Xia Xia before? Do you still keep it?"
"What jade?" The old lady didn't react for a while.
"It's the jade handed down from our He family's ancestors. When Dad passed away, didn't he leave it to..."
Before He Xiaoman finished speaking, the old lady came back to her senses and interrupted directly, "That's for Yaoyao."
When He Xiaoman heard it, his face immediately darkened, "Mom, you understand, it belongs to our He family. Huo Yao is just an outsider, and if you want to pass it on, it will be passed on to your granddaughter!"
The old lady pursed her lips, "So, when you called back, you came to ask for that piece of jade?"
"Yes." He Xiaoman didn't hide anything, and said directly: "Now that the Lu family has changed, I need your piece of jade."
