Chapter 730 The Jade is for Yaoyao
Soon, He Xiaoman's voice was heard on the connected phone.
"Mom, why did you let that girl come back to our house? Do you know how badly our Lu family has been harmed by the Huo family?"
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard this. How did He Xiaoman know that she had returned here?
Based on her understanding of the old lady, it was impossible for her to mention this to He Xiaoman.
He Xiaoman on the other end of the phone raised her hand and twisted her brows. Without waiting for the 'old lady' to speak, she continued, "Since you let Huo Yao go back, why don't you let Xia Xia in? After all, Xia Xia is your biological granddaughter!"
Turning her head, He Xiaoman glanced at her daughter who had just returned. She had wounds on her hands and her clothes were dirty, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
After taking a deep breath, she continued, "Xia Xia came back to see you today, but you are like this... Oh, forget it, you will be unhappy if I say too much..."
He Xiaoman was still saying something on the other end of the phone, but Huo Yao didn't listen too much. He only got one message from her words: Lu Xia had come back today.
Thinking back to when the second and third brothers were at home, they mentioned Lu Xia, and also the abnormal behavior of the third brother today... So, when he went to pick up the express delivery to buy soy sauce in the morning, he happened to meet Lu Xia?
Huo Yao rubbed the frame of the phone with her fingers. When He Xiaoman on the other end of the phone had finished talking, she took the phone and went to the kitchen at the back.
The old lady was making ginger sugar tea. When she saw Huo Yao approaching with his cell phone, she asked, "Yao, who's calling?"
Huo Yao didn't say anything, just put the phone to her ear.
When the old lady heard her daughter's voice coming from inside, she subconsciously glanced at Huo Yao, and then said in a muffled voice: "Xiao Man, do you have something to talk to me about?"
He Xiaoman also heard the old lady's words "Wow, who called?" on the phone. At this moment, she felt annoyed and speechless. It seemed that the old lady was not listening to what she said just now?
He Xiaoman suppressed her inner unhappiness and did not repeat what she had just said. She just said patiently, "Mom, you don't have the hands-free mode on now, right?"
Although the speaker was not turned on, the volume of the phone's internal speaker was very loud, so people could hear it on such a quiet night.
Huo Yao gave the phone to the old lady and then went outside on his own initiative.
The old lady looked at Huo Yao's back as he walked away, and then replied: "No, just tell me what you want to say."
"You didn't let that girl listen next to you, did you?" He Xiaoman asked again to make sure.
The old lady frowned and said, "She has gone back to her room to sleep."
He Xiaoman heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that. She cleared her throat and said, "Mom, where's the jade that Dad left for Xia Xia? You still have it, right?"
"What jade?" The old lady didn't react for a moment.
"It's the jade that has been passed down from our He family. When Dad passed away, didn't he leave it to..."
Before He Xiaoman finished speaking, the old lady came back to her senses and interrupted her in a deep voice, "That's for Yaoyao."
When He Xiaoman heard this, her face darkened immediately. "Mom, you have to understand that this is our He family's property. Huo Yao is just an outsider. If you want to pass it on, it should be passed on to your granddaughter!"
The old lady pursed her lips and said, "So, you called back to ask for that piece of jade?"
"Yes." He Xiaoman did not hide it and said directly: "Something has happened to the Lu family now, and I need your jade."
