Huo Yao replied calmly after hearing Zhuo Yun's words. "She didn't do it."
Although He Xiaoman was selfish, she would never do such a thing. Huo Yao had tested her the other day.
As for the quarrel... Huo Yao suddenly took out the necklace from under her collar. "They were probably fighting over this piece of jade."
Min Yu's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw Huo Yao's jade. He took a step forward and stuffed the jade back into her collar. "This is the only thing your grandmother left for you. Keep it safe."
Huo Yao glanced at him. "Didn't you take it for research? Did you find anything?"
"Nothing. It's just a normal warm jade." Min Yu looked unperturbed and did not reveal anything.
"Oh." Huo Yao lowered her lashes. She quickly raised her head and said, "Maybe we can start with Lu Xia."
Zhuo Yun said, "Why don't you suspect the younger brother today?"
He recalled how the kid kept cursing Huo Yao for being heartless on the way home as though he had a deep grudge against her.
"He doesn't have the guts to do that." Huo Yao shook her head.
Although Lu Ziming was a spoiled brat, he was still a decent person. He was not hopelessly evil.
It was evident from the fact that he had purposely waited at the cemetery to pass his grandmother's last words to Huo Yao.
"I'll go check on Lu Xia now," said Zhuo Yun quickly.
Before long, he left.
Only Huo Yao and Min Yu were left in the room.
Huo Yao walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows in a daze. She did not know when the sky had turned dark. Light snowflakes fluttered down amidst the rain. It seemed as though the world was going to be dyed white.
The old man who had given her warmth would never, ever come back.
Min Yu stood by Huo Yao's side. The tears on her cheeks stung his eyes.
"If I had taken that flight back, would things have turned out differently?" Huo Yao stared blankly outside. "It's all my fault."
Min Yu reached out and pulled her into his arms. "It's not your fault. Even if you came back earlier, your grandmother wouldn't have made it. This is her fate."
"No, you don't know. I can save him..." muttered Huo Yao.
Min Yu suddenly placed his hands on Huo Yao's shoulders and increased the distance between them. He looked at her with a gaze so serious that it seemed as though he could see into her soul. "You can't. A life for a life. This isn't what your grandmother wants to see."
Unfortunately, the heavens did not give her such a chance.
Huo Yao closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his waist without saying a word.
Min Yu sighed softly when he saw this.

The next day.
Song Ning and Huo Jinyan went to the cemetery early in the morning to pay their respects.
Zhuo Yun also found some information about Lu Xia.
"She suddenly came back half a month ago to take care of the old lady, but after she came back, He Xiaoman stopped arguing with the old lady."
