"Why are you here today?" Asked the old lady unhappily. She paused before noticing Lu Xia, who was sitting beside He Xiaoman. "Lu Xia, you are here too."
His tone also sounded a little perfunctory.
Lu Xia's expression froze, but she still greeted her grandmother with a smile.
"Why can't I be here? Xiaxia and I are outsiders and shouldn't be here, right? "He Xiaoman almost burst out laughing.
"Why didn't you call her before you came?" asked the old lady softly.
Had she known that He Xiaoman would bring Lu Xia, she would never have let Yaoyao come.
"Xiaxia bought a lot of things to visit you today, but you don't seem to like her. Mom, can you not be so biased?"
He Xiaoman felt that the old lady was poisoned by her adopted daughter. She was not warm to her biological granddaughter and liked a fake one. She was hopeless.
"You didn't seem to like Yaoyao much in the past!" said the old lady sarcastically.
He Xiaoman placed her hand on her forehead. "Forget it. I don't want to argue with you. I just hope that you can be fair."
"I don't want to argue with you. You were the one who questioned me the moment you came. My good mood was ruined by you." The old lady had completely unleashed her contrarian nature today.
He Xiaoman's face instantly darkened. Lu Xia hurried over and said with a smile, "Mom, didn't you buy me a set of jade? Take it out and let me see. "
Lu Xia hurriedly asked the butler to take out the box. She smiled and held the old lady's arm. "Grandma, don't be angry. Let's sit down and see if you like the jewelry first."
With Lu Xia in the middle to ease the atmosphere, the old lady did not have to pull a long face. She allowed Lu Xia to take her to the couch.
When the old lady saw the jade bracelet in Lu Xia's hand, she did not extend her hand. Instead, she rejected it. "I'm old and don't like to wear these things. You should take them back."
Lu Xia froze. Seeing how determined the old lady was, she could not force her. In the end, she placed the jade bracelet back into the box awkwardly.
Soon, the old lady's eyes landed on Huo Yao, who was sitting on a chair nearby and playing with her phone lazily. A gentle look appeared in her eyes as she said, "Yaoyao, why don't you take a look at this jewelry? Do you like it?"
Huo Yao raised her head and blinked in a daze when she suddenly heard the cue.
He Xiaoman's temples throbbed when she heard that. She walked over and said helplessly, "Mom, she's just a student. Why would she wear jade?"
The old lady pursed her lips and said, "If she can't wear it, I can give it to Yaoyao's biological mother."
He Xiaoman's eyes widened. "Mom, are you crazy? Do you know how much my jade is worth?"
The old lady looked at her strangely. "Aren't you going to give these things to me?"
In other words, isn't it normal for me to give my things to others?
"I'm giving it to you, but I didn't ask you to give it to someone else!" He Xiaoman took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in her heart.
