Huo Yao tilted her head sideways and looked at Huo Yulin. “Are you going to visit our uncle?”
“Uh huh.” Huo Yulin acknowledged Huo Yao with his eyes narrowed.
Even though their uncle had told Huo Yulin to bring his little sister back with him, he was not sure how he could get his parents to say yes to it. He could already imagine his parents kicking him out of the door the moment he mentioned it.
Huo Yao had trouble reaching her grandmother over the phone, and she inexplicably felt worried. Since it was getting late, she could only try again tomorrow during the day.

The next morning, Huo Yao took out her phone after having breakfast and called Old Madam Yang.
The first time she tried, no one answered the phone.
The second time she tried, someone finally picked up the phone.
Huo Yao parted her lips wanting to speak. Before she was able to say a word, someone spoke over the phone.
“Enough already. Why do you keep calling my mother? What else are you trying to squeeze from her this time?”
It was none other than her foster mother answering the phone. He Xiaoman sounded very annoyed and resentful.
Huo Yao frowned automatically, but she did not take He Xiaoman’s words to heart. She asked patiently. “Where’s Grandma?”
“Why should I tell you?” He Xiaoman laughed coldly. To this day, she could not understand why her mother was willing to give Huo Yao the jade pendant which was a family heirloom.
Even if her mother had given Huo Yao the jade pendant, Huo Yao still did not care about family ties when she ended up ruining the Lu clan.
From the moment He Xiaoman answered the phone, Huo Yao knew it was impossible for her to have a chance to speak to her grandmother.
She decided to hang up the phone altogether.
He Xiaoman wanted to say more. When she heard a mechanical dial tone coming from the phone, she looked even more infuriated.
The girl was such an ingrate!
Huo Yao called to ask about Old Madam Yang, but she had no manners at all.
Old Madam Yang kept thinking about Huo Yao all the time, but the girl was just a thankless wretch!

After hanging up the phone, Huo Yao quietly sat on the couch thinking about why He Xiaoman would have answered the phone.
He Xiaoman did not like the countryside and it was unlikely that Old Madam Yang would have moved over to the Lu residence. She could not help feeling puzzled that He Xiaoman had answered the phone.
Huo Yao frowned as she contemplated. She turned on her phone and changed her flight tickets to the next morning.
After changing the timing of her flight, she went upstairs to pack some luggage. She had made Old Madam Yang some incense and pills, so she packed those into her bag as well.
In the afternoon, Min Yu called Huo Yao telling her he was at the door to pass her some stuff.
“Did you have to buy so much stuff?” Huo Yao felt a headache coming on when she saw seven to eight large paper boxes by his feet.
“I bought some gifts for your parents as well.” Min Yu had labeled the packages so that Huo Yao would not make any mistakes about the gifts.
Huo Yao crossed her arms and sighed gently. “Isn’t it nice to be rich? You’re so generous.”
Min Yu raised his brow. “Well, if it’s money you want, what is mine is yours.”
Huo Yao touched her nose and glared at him with a huff. “Quit flirting already. Let’s not ruin your cool, untouchable image.”
Min Yu laughed. He raised his head, glanced inside the door, and asked. “Are you alone at home?”
“Nope. The maid is here,” replied Huo Yao.
Min Yu picked up the paper boxes by the side of his feet. “Come on. Let me carry them in for you.”
Huo Yao knew what he was trying to do, but she did not expose him.
The two of them entered the villa together.
