Chapter 1466: More To It

“What else? Huo Yao suspects me of causing my mother’s death. She threatened not to let me off if she learned I had anything to do with her death.” The more He Xiaoman thought about it, the angrier she felt. “I know she’s from a rich and powerful family and is acquainted with the Min family, so she can lord it over me. She’s such an ingrate.”


Lu Xia frowned before she comforted her mother. “Don’t take it to heart. It’s not worth it.”


He Xiaoman shook her head. “She’s my biological mother, okay? No matter what, I would never try to kill her!”


Lu Xia’s eyes glinted briefly before she responded. “Just forget about her. We did nothing of the sort, so it doesn’t matter.”


Lu Xia kept comforting He Xiaoman until she felt better.

!!

“You’re such a dear. After the funeral, you should leave the country as soon as possible. You are the backbone of the family now.” He Xiaoman held Lu Xia’s hand and patted it gently.


Lu Xia narrowed her eyes slightly as a mocking look swept across her eyes but she simply nodded and said lightly, “Uh huh. Got it.”

Meanwhile, on the other end.


After getting into the car, Huo Yao leaned into the seat backrest in a daze. Her face was ghastly pale. She did not react even when her phone rang.


She acted as though she did not hear it at all.


Min Yu sighed inside as he sat and watched her. He turned sideways, reached his hands out, and took her phone from her pocket.


When he saw the caller ID on the phone screen, he answered the phone for her.


Huo Yulin had called. Chen Ming had just told him about the incident in the afternoon, so he called to check on his little sister.


Min Yu glanced at Huo Yao as he told Huo Yulin about Old Madam Yang’s pa.s.sing.


The moment Huo Yulin heard what he said, he went quiet.


When he went to the countryside with Huo Yao last year to visit Old Madam Yang, he could tell that the old lady meant a lot to Huo Yao. Now that she had pa.s.sed away, he was sure Huo Yao would be deeply affected.


Huo Yulin inhaled deeply. For the first time in his life, he spoke in a sincere tone to Min Yu. “Please take good care of her.”


“Uh huh,” acknowledged Min Yu before they ended the conversation and hung up the phone.


Huo Yao snapped out of her daze. She turned to look at Min Yu and finally spoke. “Was that my third older brother?”


“Uh huh,” acknowledged Min Yu. He put down the phone and held her hand tightly as he said in a deep voice, “I know you’re upset. Just let it all out.”


Huo Yao squeezed a smile and said, “Can you help me with something?”


“You want your grandmother’s medical records, right?” When Min Yu overheard Huo Yao’s conversation with He Xiaoman, he figured Huo Yao might need it.


“Uh huh.” A wave of anger swept across Huo Yao’s eyes. “I don’t think she would have died for no reason.”


Everyone knew people eventually died, but it was still hard to handle the grief when it actually happened.


Min Yu nodded. “Sure thing.”


“Thank you,” said Huo Yao before she closed her eyes.


Min Yu took off his coat and placed it on Huo Yao.


Even though the heater was on full blast in the car, her hands felt icy cold, so he could not help feeling worried.


Before long, the car pulled up at the hotel entrance.


Min Yu said a few things to Zhuo Yun before getting off the car. He walked to the other side of the car and opened the car door. After opening the door, he bent over to carry Huo Yao out of the car.


After taking the lift to the room on the top floor, Min Yu swiped the key card on the door. Just as he was about to slot the key card into the card slot to turn on the light, Huo Yao held his hand.


There was no light in the room, so it was completely dark.


Huo Yao spoke with her voice trembling. “I’ve been a terrible granddaughter. Just a couple of days ago, I already detected that something was wrong with her when I tred to reach her by phone, but I didn’t take it seriously.”
