To be honest, ever since she transmigrated to this body, she had not taken a good look at the place she lived in.
The house was an old-fashioned two-story building with a courtyard in the countryside. It was made of red bricks and black tiles. The walls were not painted or tiled, and some parts of the walls were covered in black mold due to its age.
In short, this was the standard style of construction in the 1980s. It did look old and run-down.
Huo Yao touched the tip of her nose. She had been living in such a harsh environment for more than a year, but she was quite adaptable to it.
Suddenly, the shrill noises in the house stopped.
He Xiaoman walked out of the house in a long black lace dress with a purple scarf tied around her neck. Her makeup was exquisite, and her hair was coiled up with a diamond hairpin. She exuded the aura of an upper-class lady. She was stunned to see Huo Yao standing in the yard.
He Xiaoman quickly composed herself and hid the complicated look in her eyes. She asked coldly. "What are you doing here?"
Huo Yao looked at He Xiaoman calmly. Her eyes were calm as her thoughts drifted away.
A year ago, she had transmigrated to this body for some unknown reason. At that time, this body was not called Huo Yao but Lu Yao. She was the daughter of a nouveau riche family in City S.
A few months ago, she was suddenly told that this body did not belong to the Lu family. Instead, it had been switched at birth by a nurse at the hospital. Her biological parents were just an ordinary working couple. Not only were they poor, but they also had four sons who were said to be unambitious. It was no exaggeration to say that the family had a heavy burden on them.
When her adoptive mother, He Xiaoman, found out that her biological daughter lived in such a poor family and that she had raised the poor child like a daughter of a rich family, the strong contrast stimulated the remnants of motherly love in her. Moreover, her daughter, who had been raised in a poor family, appeared gentle, generous, and kind. Hence, she quickly brought her biological daughter home. She changed her name and entered the family tree, as though she was afraid that her biological daughter would be wronged.
On the other hand, Lu Yao was born into a wealthy family, but in reality, the Lu family didn't like her at all. She was abandoned at He Xiaoman's mother's place in a small county since she was a child and didn't visit her even once in a year or two.
Now that the real daughter of the Huo Family had been brought back, the fake daughter of the Huo Family naturally had to stand aside. Therefore, before the Huo Family's biological parents came to pick her up, He Xiaoman had already told her that she didn't deserve to be a part of the Lu Family. She didn't deserve to continue living here. Her arrogant attitude back then was exactly the same as her cold attitude now.
Huo Yao composed herself and averted her eyes nonchalantly from He Xiaoman.
Seeing this, He Xiaoman furrowed her brows. Her anger suddenly flared up. "What's with your attitude?"
Huo Yao raised her brow and smiled playfully when she heard his angry question. "So what's your current status?"
As soon as she finished speaking, He Xiaoman's well-maintained face instantly darkened.
Sure enough, no matter how long other people's children were raised, they would still be wild and uncultured.
At this moment, He Xiaoman couldn't help thinking of her biological daughter, Lu Xia. Although Lu Xia grew up in an ordinary family, she was gentle and generous. Not only was she good at her studies, but she was also talented and multi-talented. Now that she had been scouted by a talent scout to become a celebrity, she was practically born to make the Lu family proud.
On the other hand, her adoptive daughter could not compare to her Xiaxia in any way, except for her looks.
