"It's all because of Huo Yao. How dare she suspect me and say that she won't let me off the hook even if she finds out?" The more He Xiaoman thought about it, the angrier she became. "She is just relying on her family's money, connections, and connections to the Min family. What an ingrate."
Lu Xia frowned and comforted her. "You don't have to get mad at someone like that. It's not worth it."
He Xiaoman shook her head. "She's my mother. I would never hurt her no matter how bad I am!"
Lu Xia's eyes flickered and she said, "Let her do whatever she wants. We have a clear conscience."
Lu Xia comforted He Xiaoman for a long time before she finally calmed down.
"My daughter is such a good girl. Once your grandmother's funeral is over, you should leave the country as soon as possible. The Lu family will depend on you in the future." He Xiaoman held Lu Xia's hand and patted it gently.
Lu Xia lowered her lashes and suppressed the sarcasm in her eyes. She nodded and said, "Mhm. I know."

Meanwhile.
After Huo Yao got into the car, she leaned against the seat in a daze. Her face was pale and she did not react even when her phone rang in her pocket.
It was as though she did not hear it.
Min Yu sighed softly in his heart when he saw her like this. Then he turned sideways and took out her phone from her pocket.
He looked at the caller ID and picked up the call for her.
It was Huo Yulin. Cheng Ming had told him about what happened in the afternoon, so he called to ask about it.
Min Yu glanced at Huo Yao before he told him about her grandmother's death.
Huo Yulin fell silent for a moment.
He had realized how important her grandmother was when he went back to Huo Yao's hometown with his little sister last year. Her sudden death was a huge blow to her.
Huo Yulin inhaled deeply and said to Min Yu solemnly for the first time, "Please take good care of my little sister for the next few days."
Min Yu agreed and didn't say much. He quickly hung up the phone.
Huo Yao snapped out of her trance. She turned to look at Min Yu and finally said, "Was that my third older brother?"
"Uh huh," acknowledged Min Yu. He put the phone down and held Huo Yao's hand tightly. He said softly, "Let it out if you're upset."
Huo Yao forced a smile and said, "Do me a favor."
"You want the old lady's medical records, right?" asked Min Yu as he recalled what Huo Yao had said to He Xiaoman.
"Uh huh." Huo Yao's eyes flashed with anger. "I don't believe that she will leave just like that."
It was easy to talk about birth, aging, illness, and death, but it was also very difficult to actually face it.
Min Yu nodded. "Sure."
"Thank you," said Huo Yao before closing her eyes.
Seeing this, Min Yu took off his coat and covered her with it.
Even though the heater in the car was turned up high, her palms were still cold, which worried him.
Not long after, the car stopped in front of the hotel.
Min Yu said a few words to Zhuo Yun before he got out of the car. He walked to the other side, opened the car door, and bent down to carry Huo Yao out.
Min Yu took the elevator up to the penthouse and swiped his card. Just as he was about to insert the card into the box, Huo Yao held his hand.
There was no light in the room, so it was pitch-black.
Huo Yao's voice trembled. "Don't you think I'm terrible? I knew something was wrong when I called you two days ago, but I didn't take it to heart..."
