The old lady turned off the stove. "Don't even think about it. I won't give it to you. It belongs to Yaoyao."
He Xiaoman pressed her temples. "Why are you so stubborn? I already told you that the girl's surname is Huo. She is not your biological daughter. Why would you give such a valuable piece of jade to Huo Yao?"
The old lady instinctively frowned when she heard the word valuable. Then she corrected her. "It's just an ordinary piece of jade. It's worthless."
"How can it be worthless... Sigh. Forget it. You don't know how to appreciate jade. Give it to me. I really need it." He Xiaoman tried to sound as gentle as possible.
"I won't give it to you. Just give up." The old lady said firmly and then hung up the phone.
He Xiaoman's face instantly turned livid when she heard the line disconnect. "This old lady is really..."
Then, she called the old lady again. When she heard that the phone was turned off, she didn't feel good.
Lu Xia glanced at He Xiaoman and asked her softly. "Mom, what did Grandma say?"
"She said she wants to give the jade to Huo Yao," said He Xiaoman helplessly.
Lu Xia's face darkened. The jade was meant for her biological granddaughter. Did Huo Yao deserve it?
Huo Yao was fine with having the Huo family, but she pretended to be a good girl in front of her grandmother. Now she wanted to snatch her family's jade?
How could such a disgusting woman exist in this world?
"No matter what, we must get the jade back. We can't let the old lady give it to that girl," said He Xiaoman solemnly.
He Xiaoman paced back and forth in the living room with her phone in her hand. Suddenly, she said, "No, I have to go back myself tomorrow."
She was afraid that the old lady would give the jade to Huo Yao.
Lu Xia recalled what had happened to her today and mocked her softly. "Mom, you shouldn't go back for now. The Huo family is cold-blooded and heartless."
Looking at the bruise on her palm, He Xiaoman stomped her feet again in annoyance. After a long while, she didn't mention whether she would go back tomorrow or not.

The old lady absent-mindedly took out a cup after she hung up the phone. She was about to pour out the ginger sugar tea to dispel the cold.
The pot was made of stainless steel. The handle was a little hot, so she reached for it.
Huo Yao was leaning against the door frame lazily when she saw what the old lady was doing. She hurried over to her. Before the old lady could reach the handle, Huo Yao held her hand and said in a stern voice, "How dare you reach out when it's so hot?"
After saying that, she took the towel beside her, wrapped her hands, and poured the ginger sugar tea into the cup.
The old lady came back to her senses, and a smile suddenly appeared on her wrinkled face. "Don't I still have you?"
Huo Yao glanced at her. "Don't argue with me. I'm leaving. What about burns? "
When the old lady heard the word "go", she looked gloomy for a moment, but soon she thought of something. She raised her head and said with a smile, "Grandma will pay attention in the future. As for you, you have come back to accompany me for many days. Your parents must have some opinions, so you should go back early."
"Do you really want me to leave?" asked Huo Yao as she leaned against the side and looked at the old lady.
The old lady swallowed the discomfort in her throat and did not dare to look at her eyes. She only said in a low voice, "This is still not your home."
