Before long, He Xiaoman's voice came from the other end of the line.
"Mom, why did you let that girl come back to our house again? Do you know how badly the Huo family has harmed the Lu family? "
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes. How did He Xiaoman know that she had come back?
Based on her understanding of the old lady, she would never mention it to He Xiaoman.
He Xiaoman raised her hand and knitted her brows. Before the old lady could speak, she continued. "Since you let Huo Yao go back, why didn't you let Xiaxia come back? Xiaxia is your biological granddaughter! "
He Xiaoman turned to look at her daughter, who had just come home. Her hand was injured, and her jacket was dirty. She looked like she had been wronged.
She inhaled deeply and continued. "Xiaxia came back to see you today, but you... Sigh. Forget it. You're going to get upset if I talk too much..."
He Xiaoman was still talking on the other end of the line, but Huo Yao did not pay much attention to her. She only knew that Lu Xia had come back today.
Huo Yao recalled how Huo Tingrui and Huo Yulin had mentioned Lu Xia when they were at home. Also, Huo Yulin's strange behavior today... Did he happen to bump into Lu Xia when he went to pick up the delivery to buy soy sauce in the morning?
Huo Yao rubbed the phone's frame with her fingers. She waited for He Xiaoman to finish talking before she took her phone and walked to the kitchen.
The old lady was brewing ginger tea. When she saw Huo Yao walking over with her phone, she asked her. "Yao, who called?"
Huo Yao did not say a word. She placed the phone by her ear.
The old lady heard her daughter's voice and instinctively glanced at Huo Yao. Then she said in a muffled voice, "Xiaoman, what's up?"
He Xiaoman had also heard the old lady ask, "Yao, who called?" She was vexed and speechless. Had the old lady not been listening to what she had said?
He Xiaoman forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in her heart and didn't repeat what she had just said. She only said patiently, "Mom, you're not on speaker right now, are you?"
Although he didn't turn on the loudspeaker, the volume of the phone's internal speaker was still very loud. In such a quiet night, people could naturally hear it.
Huo Yao handed the phone to the old lady and went outside.
The old lady watched as Huo Yao walked away before she replied. "No. Just tell me what you want."
"You didn't let that girl listen on the side, did you?" He Xiaoman asked again to make sure of something.
The old lady frowned and said, "She has already returned to her room to sleep."
He Xiaoman heaved a sigh of relief. She cleared her throat and said, "Mom, where is the piece of jade that Dad left for Xiaxia? You still have it, right? "
"What jade?" The old lady couldn't react for a moment.
"It's the jade that has been passed down in our He family for generations. When Dad passed away, didn't he say that he would leave it to …"
Before He Xiaoman could finish her sentence, the old lady came back to her senses and interrupted her in a deep voice. "That's for Yaoyao."
He Xiaoman's face instantly darkened. "Mom, get this straight. That belongs to the He family. Huo Yao is just an outsider. She should pass it on to your granddaughter!"
The old lady pursed her lips. "So, you called back to ask for that piece of jade?"
"Yes." He Xiaoman did not hide it and said frankly, "Something has happened to the Lu family, so I need that piece of jade."
