Why did she come back when she had left in the first place? She was just looking for trouble.
Every word that Xue Yuming uttered cut Lu Zhaoyang. What happened to her mother that was kind and gentle in the past?
Lu Zhaoyang’s brows knitted together. Just as Xue Yuming was about to continue, Lu Zhaoyang interrupted her. “Mother, I am here not just to see you but I also want to tell you the truth! This child belongs to Huo Yunting, not Huo Chen!”
Lu Zhaoyang and Huo Chen had shown proper respect and conduct to each other for the past four years; there had never been any misconduct between them.
It was a heavy blow to Xue Yuming. But Huo Yunting was her junior, who was supposed to address her as a mother, just as how this bitch called her. Xue Yuming felt a little better thinking this.
Xue Yuming was struck dumb. She suddenly shoved Lu Zhaoyang aside and carefully looked at little Huo Xu.
Indeed, this kid looked like Huo Yunting. It confirmed her earlier suspicion that Yang Yang and Huo Yunting had been together when they were still in the city. Now, they even had a child together.
Just as Xue Yuming was about to give Lu Zhaoyang a tongue-lashing again, something suddenly came to her mind and she squinted.
Now the Huos was a spent arrow that struggled to stay afloat; it might not be a bad idea if Huo Yunting and Lu Zhaoyang could be together.
She was the grandmother of this child. If the Huo family indeed went under, she could still live a good life under the patron of Huo Yunting.
She had been used to living high off the hog for the past few years and was not ready to return to the life of living from hand to mouth. Moreover, Huo Yunting had disowned the Huo family long ago and no blood relationship with Yang Yang at all; there was nothing wrong with them being together. She would be ready to divorce Huo Zhenning if necessary.
Xue Yuming was convinced that this was her best bet. She would not help the old woman anymore but would instead do them a good turn because Huo Yunting was her most reliable patron now.
“Yang Yang, I am sorry that I have wrongly blamed you. You should have told me earlier; I thought he was Huo Chen’s child.” Xue Yuming took a one eighty turn in her attitude as she grinned. “What is the name of the child? Come here, let’s give grandma a hug.”
Little Huo Xu remained silent and clung to Lu Zhaoyang, refusing to look at Xue Yuming. The child’s thinking was simple; he disliked this grandmother.
Lu Zhaoyang had no idea what was in Xue Yuming’s mind. She felt that her mother’s change of attitude was fishy.
“Xuxu, Huo Xu.” Lu Zhaoyang replied. She then held her son’s hand and said, “We are leaving now and will not bother you again. Goodbye, mom.” They turned around and walked out.
Xue Yuming hurriedly came behind them and explained, “Yang Yang, please, it was just a misunderstanding. Now, we have cleared the air! You are my daughter; if you love Huo Yunting, I will not stop you again for the sake of your happiness!”
Seeing that Lu Zhaoyang did not stop, Xue Yuming impatiently glanced at them and diverted her attention on the child. “Xuxu is so good looking. Xuxu, I am sorry that grandma was so fierce just now. Grandma apologizes; please forgive grandma, okay?”
Little Huo Xu did not bother to even look back. His supercilious demeanor resembled Huo Yunting’s.
Buttering them up did not work. Instead, it made Lu Zhaoyang quicken her pace. Xue Yuming was no longer the mother that Lu Zhaoyang knew. Her change of heart seemed too good to be true and what she did before had left a bad taste in Lu Zhaoyang’s mouth.
