The old lady turned off the fire on the stove, "Don't even think about it, I won't give it to you, that piece of jade is gone forever."
He Xiaoman pressed his temples, "Why are you so stubborn? You have said that the girl's surname is Huo, and she is not your own. Why did you give such a valuable jade to that Huo Yao?"
When the old lady heard the word "valuable", she frowned subconsciously, and then corrected her: "That jade is just ordinary jade, not worth much."
"How could it be worthless... Oh, forget it, you don't know jade as a country woman, you give me that piece of jade, I will really be useful." He Xiaoman tried to make her voice sound gentle.
"I won't give it to you, you should give up on it." The old lady said firmly, and then hung up the phone.
He Xiaoman's face turned livid when he heard the disconnection sound, "This old lady is really..."
Immediately afterwards, she called the old lady again, and when she heard the shutdown prompt from inside, she was in a bad mood.
Lu Xia glanced at He Xiaoman and asked in a low voice, "Mom, what did grandma say?"
"She said that the jade will be given to Huo Yao." He Xiaoman said very speechlessly.
Hearing this, Lu Xia didn't look very good-looking. The jade was reserved for her biological granddaughter. Is she Huo Yao worthy
It doesn't matter if you have the Huo family, and you deliberately pretend to be an obedient granddaughter in front of grandma, and now you even want to grab her family's jade
How can there be such a disgusting woman in this world!
"No matter what, the jade must be taken back, and the old lady cannot give it to that girl." He Xiaoman said in a deep voice.
Holding the mobile phone and walking back and forth in the living room for a few times, He Xiaoman suddenly said, "No, I have to go back in person tomorrow."
She was afraid that the old lady would give the jade to Huo Yao.
Lu Xia thought about what happened to her today, so she mocked: "Mom, you'd better not go back for now, the Huo family members are very cold-blooded and ruthless."
He Xiaoman looked at the bruises on her daughter's palms, and stamped her feet angrily. For a long time, she didn't mention whether she would go back tomorrow or not.

Here, after the old lady hung up the phone, she absent-mindedly took out a cup, ready to pour out the wind-cold ginger tea boiled in the small pot.
The small pot was made of stainless steel, and the handle was a little hot, so she reached out to grab it.
Huo Yao, who was lazily standing against the door frame, had been paying attention to her, so he had already walked over quickly. Before the old lady could touch the handle, Huo Yao stopped her hand in mid-air, and then slightly He said in a serious voice, "How dare you reach out your hand when it's so hot?"
After finishing speaking, she had already taken the towel next to her, wrapped it around the handle, and poured the ginger tea inside into the cup.
The old lady came back to her senses, and a smile suddenly appeared on her wrinkled face, "Isn't there still you here?"
Huo Yao just glanced at her, "Don't be poor with me, I'm leaving? What about the burn?"
When the old lady heard the word "go", she looked sad for a moment, but soon she remembered something, raised her head and said with a smile: "Grandma will pay attention in the future, but you have come back to accompany me for many days, your parents Bian must have an opinion, or go back earlier."
"You want to drive me away so much?" Huo Yao leaned to the side, looked at the old lady and said.
The old lady swallowed the pain that came up in her throat, and didn't dare to look her in the eyes, she just said in a low voice: "This is still not your home."
There was still a slight tremor in the voice.
