"She..." The old lady was disappointed. After a long while, she said, "... She is in Grade 12 like Yaoyao. She must be busy studying."
The truth was that her so-called biological granddaughter had never returned to her hometown, let alone visited her.
When her daughter brought her to live in the city, she could see the disdain in her granddaughter's eyes. Although she did not show any particular disgust, she could tell that she looked down on her granddaughter from the bottom of her heart.
Only her Yao cared about her biological grandmother, who was not related to her by blood, even when she returned to her biological parents' place. She did not distance herself from her at all.
Huo Yulin glanced at the old lady. She did not look happy or sad. She must have been disappointed in Huo Yao or had never had any expectations for her. That was why she looked so calm.
Lu Xia did not even have the courage to admit that she was her biological grandmother at the grocery store. How could she care about the old lady?
However, Huo Yulin guessed that she must be up to no good if she suddenly came to see the old lady.
Huo Yulin's eyes darkened as he pondered.
Before long, Huo Yulin went out after helping the old lady prepare the ingredients in the kitchen. It was raining and snowing outside, but it was not heavy.
Huo Yulin stood at the entrance of the courtyard. He took out his phone and called Cheng Ming.

Lu Xia returned to the hotel after fleeing in panic.
She had arrived at the county town yesterday. Even the most expensive hotel was not as good as the most ordinary hotel in the city. It was obvious how run-down her grandmother's house was.
She stayed in the hotel for a night before mustering up the courage to visit the old lady. She did not expect to bump into the person she thought she would never see again.
Huo Yulin would not appear here for no reason, so... Huo Yao must have returned.
Lu Xia's eyes filled with hatred at the thought of Huo Yao. She had already returned to the Huo family, but Huo Yao kept coming to her grandmother's house and putting on an act. She was shameless.
Lu Xia paced back and forth in the room in frustration. After contemplating, she took out her phone to call He Xiaoman.
She heard a knock on the door the moment she dialed. She hung up before the call went through. She put on her sunglasses and walked to the door. She peeked through the peephole and saw that it was the front desk of the hotel. She opened the door.
"What's the matter?" Lu Xia asked coldly.
The front desk lady apologized politely, "I'm sorry, miss. There's a problem with our hotel's fire protection system. I'll have to trouble you to check out."
Lu Xia frowned. "Fire protection?"
"Yes, you don't want to stay in a hotel with a security risk, do you?" the receptionist said. She paused, "Of course, we will refund you double the room fee."
Lu Xia's mood worsened when she heard that. However, she could not bring herself to argue with the hotel like a shrew. She pressed her eyebrows and said impatiently, "Fine. I got it."
He slammed the door shut with a bang.
What a shabby rural place. Even staying in a hotel is so unsettling.
Lu Xia packed her luggage in frustration. She dragged her suitcase down to the lobby on the first floor and handed her ID card and room card to the front desk.
The receptionist had already prepared the refund money. When she handed over the room card, she felt relieved. Lu Xia didn't notice the receptionist's expression. She took the money and walked out.
At this moment, a few people who also wanted to check in hurriedly walked in.
