Huo Yao did not notice the expression on the old lady's face. Her phone rang in her pocket. She took it out and saw that it was her second older brother. She did not pick up the call. Instead, she looked at the old lady and said, "Oh yes, Grandma. My second older brother wants to see you. He's downstairs now."
The old lady's worried look was instantly replaced by surprise. She composed herself and said hurriedly, "He's your second older brother, right? Hurry up and bring him up. "
"Uh huh." Huo Yao nodded. She could not help feeling amused when she saw the old lady smoothing her short hair nervously. "Don't worry. He's one of us."
The old lady put her hand down in embarrassment. "It's my first time meeting him, so I have to leave a good impression."
Huo Yao smiled. She reached out to tuck a strand of white hair by the side of her forehead. "That's great."
Before long, Huo Yao went downstairs to bring Huo Tingrui up.
"Grandma, this is my second older brother, Huo Tingrui." Huo Yao helped Huo Tingrui put the nutritional supplements on the cabinet as she introduced him to the old lady.
Huo Tingrui's eyes landed on the old lady. She looked sickly pale. However, she seemed to be in good spirits and looked kind. No wonder Huo Yao missed her so much.
Huo Tingrui composed himself and nodded at the old lady politely. He smiled. "Hello, Old Madam Yang. Sorry to disturb your rest."
The old lady smiled and shook her head. "It's fine. I'm glad you could come. Don't just stand there. Sit down and talk."
"Uh huh." Huo Tingrui did not stand on ceremony. He sat down on a chair and glanced at Huo Yao before he said, "Thank you for taking care of Huo Yao all these years. She is so outstanding now."
The old lady looked a little ashamed. "She is outstanding to begin with. I didn't do much, but she suffered a lot."
Huo Yao pulled over a chair and sat down next to the old lady's bed. She raised her delicate brows and said arrogantly, "I admit that I'm outstanding, but you shouldn't talk about hardship. After all, no one has ever seen someone as outstanding and smart as I am. Am I right?"
"You... Don't you know how to be humble?" The old lady was amused.
"It depends on the person." Huo Yao winked at the old lady.
The old lady smiled and shook her head. She subconsciously grabbed her hand and held it.
Huo Tingrui looked at his little sister's natural and intimate interaction with the old lady. The atmosphere was completely different from when she was with her real family at home. He could not help feeling emotional.
It was no wonder that when their parents went to Old Madam's house to pick up their youngest sister, she refused and delayed coming home for a year.
At that time, in her eyes, this grandmother was the one who had raised her for more than ten years. Anyone with a bit of conscience wouldn't be able to abandon this familial love and leave.
Huo Tingrui could not help thinking about his foster younger sister. She left the Huo family without any hesitation after the truth was revealed. She even changed her surname back to her biological father's as fast as she could.
The Huo family had never mistreated her. Although she later explained that she had no choice and that it was her biological parents who forced her, her actions were still … bitterly disappointing.
