Chapter 3 She is not my biological daughter
"Since you are here, there is one thing today that I hope you understand and I hope you can complete it." He Xiaoman has regained her noble demeanor and is speaking again.
Although she said the word "hope", the meaning she expressed was different.
Huo Yao twitched the corners of his lips, but before he could say anything, He Xiaoman's mother, Yang Qiuhua, who was also the grandmother who raised the original owner since childhood, came out of the room.
She patted He Xiaoman's arm, signaling her not to go too far, and then she set her eyes on Huo Yao, her expression subconsciously softened, "Yaoyao is back, how was the game?"
Huo Yao hummed lightly and replied lazily: "It's okay."
"Won the prize?" Yang Qiuhua's voice was more excited.
"Yes, first place." Huo Yao replied calmly, without any pride in her eyes, as if getting first place was easy for her.
When Yang Qiuhua heard this, she wiped away her tears with joy and said, "Good boy."
He Xiaoman, who was standing next to her, frowned and asked the old lady, "What competition did you win first place in?"
Yang Qiuhua looked at her, raised the corners of his lips, and said with some pride: "You don't know, our Yaoyao is not only a very good student, but also..."
When He Xiaoman saw that the old lady did not answer her question directly, but instead started praising Huo Yao for his good academic performance, she immediately lost interest in hearing the answer.
She raised her hand impatiently and interrupted, "Alright, I understand. You don't have to deliberately set up a persona for her in front of me. With her grades, she was not even qualified to go to the county's key high school. If it weren't for our Lu family paying for it, she might only be able to go to a vocational high school."
After a pause, He Xiaoman looked at Huo Yao with a sneer, "This fish eye is a fish eye, it can never be a pearl."
When Yang Qiuhua heard this, she subconsciously looked at Huo Yao. Fearing that she would feel uncomfortable after hearing this, she hurriedly explained: "You haven't taken care of her in these years. You don't even know how Yaoyao is now..."
He Xiaoman snorted and interrupted again, "Mom, she is not my biological daughter, nor is she your granddaughter. Her last name is Huo. Whether she is good at studying or not, it has nothing to do with me, and I don't want to know."
Yang Qiuhua's face froze, and the unfinished words were stuck in her throat. After a while, she said in a muffled voice, "Yaoyao is my granddaughter!"
He Xiaoman pinched her brows. She really didn't know what kind of magic potion Huo Yao had drugged the old lady. She didn't like her own granddaughter who she found, but instead liked this uneducated fake one!
"She has enjoyed seventeen years of happiness in our Lu family, while my biological daughter has suffered seventeen years outside. Mom, please wake up and don't recognize relatives randomly!"
"You treat her as a relative. Maybe she is just using you to defraud some money from our family to support her biological parents' family..."
"Shut up!" Yang Qiuhua was so angry that she was shaking. "I raised Yaoyao by myself. I know what kind of person she is better than you do. Don't use your tricks to maliciously speculate about her."
He Xiaoman's face turned pale, "You can't tell good from evil, Mom, I think you are really sick and confused!"
Yang Qiuhua was already in his sixties and had heart disease. He was irritated by He Xiaoman's words, his face turned pale, and he pressed his fists tightly against his chest.
Seeing this, Huo Yao put the things in his hand on the ground, walked quickly to the old lady, helped her sit on the bamboo chair next to her, and held her wrist with his right hand.
