Chapter 44: Is Three Hundred Thousand Enough?

Although He Xiaoman knew that Lu Xia was trying to save face for her, she didn't want to spend money to buy gifts for that unsophisticated woman from the Huo family.

So, He Xiaoman sneered and looked at Huo Yao, "Taking advantage of an old man's kindness to defraud money, is this your purpose?"

Huo Yao raised his eyes, with a hint of indifference on his delicate face, looking at He Xiaoman, his expression neither annoyed nor angry.

He Xiaoman frowned when she saw her expression, and continued, "If you want money, you can just tell me directly. Do you think it's fun to keep pestering an old man?"

The old lady glanced at Huo Yao, afraid that she might misunderstand, and hurriedly asked: "Xiao Man, how could you say such a thing?"

He Xiaoman's expression changed and her face darkened, "Mom, don't talk."

Then, He Xiaoman walked up to Huo Yao and looked down at her. "Tell me, how much money do you want, 100,000 or 200,000? 300,000 should be enough for your family to live on for a few years, right?"

Huo Yao raised her eyebrows, a hint of amusement appearing at the corner of her lips. Although she was leaning lazily on the chair, she was not intimidated by He Xiaoman's aggressive aura at all. She brushed the hair on her cheeks behind her ears, then slowly stood up.

"Only 300,000? I thought you were going to give me 30 million after talking for so long. It seems that you don't really care whether an old man is cheated or not."

Huo Yao's voice was light and it was not difficult to hear the disappointment in his tone.

Hearing this, He Xiaoman thought that this adopted daughter was just a dreamer, and immediately laughed out of anger: "Haha, 30 million? You really have a plan."

Huo Yao looked at her with a look that seemed to show her a mentally retarded person, "You don't even have 30 million. I am embarrassed to say what I just said. It's embarrassing."

He Xiaoman almost vomited blood after hearing what Huo Yao said. Was this country bumpkin, who had never seen the world, suddenly possessed by a nitpicking spirit?

Huo Yao was too lazy to pay attention to He Xiaoman anymore. He fixed his eyes on the old lady and said in a low voice with regret: "It seems that I can't spend the weekend with you today."

When the old lady heard this, she knew that she was leaving. She wanted to ask her to stay, but with her daughter's attitude just now, how could she have the face to keep her granddaughter?

That's all.

The old lady sighed and forced a smile, "It's okay, don't take what your aunt said just now to heart."

Huo Yao nodded, said "hmm" casually, and walked towards the door.

As soon as Huo Yao left, He Xiaoman angrily said, "Mom, you are not allowed to let her in from now on. Look at her arrogant attitude just now. How can she treat me as an elder?"

Hearing her daughter's chatter, the old lady looked tired. Then she stood up without saying a word, went into the kitchen, and turned off the low fire that was still simmering the ribs.

The old lady stared at the cut vegetables on the stove for a long time, then touched the corner of her eyes with her hand, turned around and walked out of the kitchen again. She didn't care about He Xiaoman and Lu Xia in the living room, went back to her room and slammed the door.

He Xiaoman was startled by the sound of the door slamming. When she realized what was happening, her face turned very ugly. "What does the old lady mean by this? Why is she so angry again?!"

Lu Xia glanced at the closed bedroom door and said softly, "Maybe grandma likes Huo Yao too much."

He Xiaoman felt even worse when she heard this. "It's so foolish to mistake fish eyes for pearls!"
