Chapter 43: The old lady who plays the essence of leverage
"Why did you come today?" The old lady said unhappy. After a pause, she seemed to see Lu Xia next to He Xiaoman, "Lu Xia is here too."
The tone also sounds obviously perfunctory.
Lu Xia's expression froze, but she still smiled and called to grandma.
"Why can't I come? Xia Xia and I are still outsiders, shouldn't you show up here?" He Xiaoman was almost laughing at him.
"Then why are you calling before you come?" the old lady whispered.
If he knew that He Xiaoman would bring Lu Xia, she wouldn't let Lu Xia come over today.
"Xia Xia bought a lot of things to see you today. You still look like you don't want to see her. Mom, can we not be so partial?"
He Xiaoman felt that the old lady was poisoned by her adopted daughter and was not enthusiastic about her biological granddaughter.
"You haven't seen much waiting before!" The old lady said sarcastically.
He Xiaoman helped his forehead, "Forget it, I won't argue with you so much, I just hope you get a good bowl of water."
"Who likes to argue with you, it's the questioning face when you come, and your good mood is ruined by you." The old lady fully demonstrated the essence of leverage today.
He Xiaoman's face turned black in an instant. Seeing this, Lu Xia next to him hurried over and said with a smile: "Mom, didn't you buy a set of jade for grandma? Show it for grandma to wear."
As Lu Xia said, she hurriedly asked the housekeeper next to take out the box, and smiled and held the old lady's arm, "Grandma, don't be angry, let's sit down and try this jewelry first. Do you like it?"
With Lu Xia calming the atmosphere in the middle, the old lady wouldn't be so stern, letting Lu Xia take her to sit down on the sofa.
However, the old lady looked at the jade bracelet Lu Xia brought out, but she didn't stretch out her hand, she just refused: "I'm a lot of age and don't like wearing these things. You should take them back."
Lu Xia's movements froze. Seeing the old lady's determination, she couldn't force her, so she put all the emeralds into the box embarrassingly.
Soon, the old lady turned her gaze on Huo Yao, who was sitting on the lounge chair not far away, lazily playing with her mobile phone. A soft color appeared in her eyes subconsciously, and she said, "Yao, why don't you take a look at this jewelry, you do you like it?"
Huo Yao, who was suddenly caught by the cue, raised his head and blinked dumbly.
As soon as He Xiaoman heard this, his temple jumped sharply, walked over, and said silently: "Mom, she is a student, what emerald is she wearing?"
The old lady curled her lips and said: "She can't wear it. I can give it to my mother."
He Xiaoman's eyes widened, "Mom, you are crazy, do you know how much my emeralds are worth?"
The old lady looked at her with a strange look, "Aren't you going to give me these things?"
The implication is, isn’t it normal for me to give my things to someone?
"Things are for you, but I didn't let you change hands to give them away!" He Xiaoman took a deep breath, trying to suppress the inner mania.
The old lady wanted to say something, but was robbed by Lu Xia. She glanced at Huo Yao and said, "Grandma, this set of jewelry was specially selected for you by mom. The price is expensive, and it is not appropriate to give it away. Do you think this is the case, I will go to the mall now to pick a new gift, and let Huo Yao take it back to her mother, will it work?"
