Huo Tingrui did not notice the look on his little sister's face. He was stunned when he heard what the old man said.
Wasn't his little sister raised by Old Madam Yang?
Also, wasn't Old Madam Yang always single?
Where did this grandpa pop out of nowhere?
The old man sensed Huo Tingrui's confusion and explained with a smile. "I used to live next door to her back in my hometown. She used to come over when she was young."
Huo Tingrui instantly realized what was going on.
The old man was Old Madam Yang's next-door neighbor, so he must have taken good care of his little sister when they were young. It did not seem right to call him grandpa, but it made sense on second thought.
Hence, Huo Tingrui nodded at the old man politely. "Thank you for taking care of my little sister."
Huo Yao went speechless.
Great. Yet another silly girl who got cheated.
Huo Tingrui could not stand it anymore.
The old man glanced at Huo Yao from the corner of his eyes. Seeing that the little girl did not want to speak at all, he smirked as though his plan had worked.
He raised his hand to Huo Tingrui. "You're welcome. It's what I should do."
Huo Tingrui sat down on the couch opposite the old man and started chatting with him.
Huo Yao shook her head quietly when she saw the old liar and the silly girl chatting happily. She stood up, but the moment she took a step forward, the old man, who had been keeping an eye on her, grabbed her arm.
Huo Yao glanced sideways at him.
The old man coughed. "Where are you going, my dear granddaughter?"
"... the bathroom," replied Huo Yao coldly.
The old man went speechless. "..."
Huo Yao pulled her arm out and left the living room.
The old man stared at the little girl's back. She had quite a temper.
After Huo Yao went to the bathroom, she went to the kitchen and leaned her shoulder against the door frame. She looked at her parents, who were busy cooking, and asked them. "Dad, why did the old man come to our house?"
Huo Jinyan was washing vegetables and did not care about how his daughter addressed him. He replied. "You forgot to bring your phone to school, right? I happened to hear it ringing, so I realized that the old man was unfamiliar with the hospital. Your mom and I went to pick him up. "
Huo Yao guessed that this was the case.
Huo Yao pinched her forehead. "Aren't you afraid that they are scammers?"
Huo Jinyan raised his head and glanced at his daughter. "Of course not. He talked a lot about you."
Huo Yao frowned and said sternly, "You have been deceived. I don't know him."
Huo Jinyan put down his work and said earnestly, "Don't forget your roots. Although the old man is from a small county, he did take care of you when you were young. You can't pretend you don't know him."
"Your dad is right. He's already in his eighties. What's the point of lying to us?" Song Ning chimed in.
"..."
Well, not only did the liar old man successfully brainwash her parents, but he also successfully tricked her parents into joining his camp.
Song Ning placed the stir-fried vegetables on a plate and said, "Alright, Yao, don't just stand there. Go and tell Old Master to get ready for dinner."
Huo Yao touched her nose and turned to leave the kitchen.
During the meal, the old man stuck close to Huo Yao and even sat next to her. The way he behaved so carefully as though he was afraid of being despised made everyone except Huo Yao feel sorry for him.
Hence, the three of them took good care of the old man.
Huo Yao, on the other hand, was silently labeled as an unfilial child.
