Chapter 44: Is Three Hundred Thousand Enough?

He Xiaoman knew that Lu Xia was trying to give her a way out. However, it was against her will to spend any money to buy a gift for that bumpkin girl of the Huo Family.

He Xiaoman sneered and turned her gaze towards Huo Yao. "Taking advantage of a kind old lady to get money out of her, is your ultimate goal, isn't it?"

Huo Yao raised her eyes to meet her eyes. The casual expression remained undeterred on her tender face. She was least affected by what was happening around.

He Xiaoman frowned as she went on venting her frustration at the girl. "You can tell me directly if you want money. Do you think it is nice to dupe an old lady?"

Yang Qiuhua was afraid that Huo Yao would be upset by these mean words and scolded her daughter at once. "Xiaoman, how dare you say such things?"

He Xiaoman's face shrunk at her mother leaping to the girl's defence. She scowled and said, "Mom, stay out of this."
