Chapter 731 The Jade Must Be Taken Back
The old lady turned off the fire on the stove and said, "Don't even think about it. I won't give it to you. The jade is gone."
He Xiaoman pressed her temples, "Why are you so stubborn? I've already said that girl's surname is Huo, and she's not your biological daughter at all. Why did you give such a valuable jade to Huo Yao?"
When the old lady heard the word valuable, she subconsciously frowned, and then corrected: "That jade is just ordinary jade, not valuable."
"How could it be worthless... Oh, forget it. You're just a country woman and you don't know jade. Just give me that piece of jade. I really need it." He Xiaoman tried to make her voice sound gentler.
"I won't give it to you. You'd better give up on this idea." The old lady said firmly and hung up the phone.
When He Xiaoman heard the disconnection sound, her face instantly turned pale with anger, "This old lady is really..."
Then she called the old lady again. When she heard the phone was turned off, she felt terrible.
Lu Xia glanced at He Xiaoman and asked in a low voice: "Mom, what did grandma say?"
"She said that the jade would be given to Huo Yao." He Xiaoman said speechlessly.
When Lu Xia heard this, her expression didn't look very good. The jade was reserved for her biological granddaughter. Was she, Huo Yao, worthy of her?
It wasn't a big deal that she had the Huo family, but she also pretended to be a good granddaughter in front of her grandmother. Now she even wants to steal her family's jade?
How can there be such a disgusting woman in this world!
"No matter what, the jade must be taken back. We can't let the old lady give it to that girl." He Xiaoman said in a deep voice.
He Xiaoman paced back and forth in the living room with her phone in hand, and suddenly said, "No, I have to go back in person tomorrow."
She was afraid that the old lady would give the jade to Huo Yao.
Lu Xia thought about what happened to her today, and she said in a low voice, "Mom, you'd better not go back for now. The people in the Huo family are very cold-blooded and ruthless."
He Xiaoman looked at the bruise on her daughter's palm and stamped her feet in annoyance. For a long time, she did not mention whether she would go back tomorrow or not.

On this side, after the old lady hung up the phone, she absentmindedly took out the cup and prepared to pour out the ginger and sugar tea that was brewed in the small pot to dispel the cold.
The small pot was made of stainless steel and the handle was a little hot, so she reached out to take it.
Huo Yao, who was standing lazily against the door frame, had been paying attention to her, so he had already hurried over. Before the old lady could touch the handle, Huo Yao intercepted her hand in mid-air, and said in a slightly serious tone: "How dare you stretch out your hand when it's so hot?"
After saying that, she took the towel next to her, wrapped it around the handle, 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. "Aren't you still here?"
Huo Yao just glanced at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense with me. I'm leaving now. What if I get burned?"
When the old lady heard the word "leave", her expression was gloomy for a moment, but she soon remembered something, raised her head and said with a smile: "Grandma will pay attention to it in the future. As for you, you have been back to accompany me for many days. Your parents must have some objections, otherwise you should go back earlier."
"Do you want to get rid of me so much?" Huo Yao leaned to the side and said to the old lady.
The old lady swallowed the discomfort rising in her throat, and did not dare to look her in the eyes. She only said softly: "This is not your home after all."
There was a slight tremor in the voice.
