Chapter 44: Is 300,000 enough?

Even though He Xiaoman knew that Lu Xia was looking for herself to step down, she didn't want to ask her to spend money to buy gifts for the woman who had never seen the world before.
Therefore, He Xiaoman let out a sneer, his eyes fell on Huo Yao, "Use the kindness of an old man to defraud money, is this your goal?"
Huo Yao raised his eyes, with a trace of carelessness on his delicate cheeks, looking at He Xiaoman with a look neither sullen nor angry.
Seeing her expression, He Xiaoman frowned, and continued: "If you want money, you can tell me directly, do you find it interesting to be pestering an old man?"
The old lady glanced at Huo Yao, afraid of her misunderstanding, and hurriedly said: "Xiaoman, how can you say such things?"
He Xiaoman's expression turned, his face gloomy, "Mom, don't talk."
Instead, He Xiaoman paced up to Huo Yao and looked at her condescendingly, "Let’s say, how much do you want, one hundred thousand, or two hundred thousand? Three hundred thousand is enough for your family to live for a few years. Right?"
Huo Yao raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her lips evoked a hint of playfulness. Although people leaned back in a chair lazily, they were not at all deterred by He Xiaoman's aggressiveness. She brushed the hair from her cheeks to her ears. Later, this slowly stood up.
"It's only 300,000? I thought you were going to give me 30 million for such a long time. It seems that you don't really care if an old man is deceived."
Huo Yao's voice was light and fluttering, and it was not difficult to hear disappointment in his tone.
He Xiaoman heard the words and only felt that this adopted daughter was a whimsical one, and instantly laughed angrily: "Ha ha, thirty million? You can really think about it."
Huo Yao looked at her with a look in his eyes that seemed to be mentally retarded, "I don't even have thirty million. I am embarrassed to say those words just now, embarrassing."
He Xiaoman was so stunned by Huo Yao's words that he almost didn't spit out a mouthful of blood. Was this hillbilly who had never seen the world suddenly been possessed by a lever?
Huo Yao didn't bother to pay attention to He Xiaoman any more, and set his eyes on the old lady, and said in a very regretful voice, "It seems that I can't spend the weekend with you today."
The old lady heard the words and knew that she was going to leave. She wanted to tell her to stay, but with the attitude of her daughter just now, where did she have the face to keep her granddaughter?
That's it.
The old lady sighed and forced a smile, "It's okay, don't worry about what your aunt said just now."
Huo Yao nodded, lightly ‘um’ at random, and walked towards the door.
As soon as Huo Yao left, He Xiaoman said angrily: "Mom, you are not allowed to let her in in the future. Look at her arrogant attitude just now, where would I be considered an elder?"
Hearing her daughter's rant, the old lady looked tired, then stood up without a word, went into the kitchen, and turned off the small fire that was still simmering in the kitchen.
Staring at the cut vegetables on the stove, the old lady touched the corner of her eye with her hand for a while, turned and walked out of the kitchen, leaving He Xiaoman and Lu Xia alone in the hall, and went back to the room. The door was slammed shut.
He Xiaoman was shocked by the sound of the door slamming, and her face was very ugly in response, "What does the old lady mean? What's your temper?!"
Lu Xia glanced at the closed bedroom door, and said softly: "Maybe grandma likes Huo Yao too much."
He Xiaoman's mood became even worse when he heard this, "It is extremely ignorant to treat fish eyes as pearls!"
