NovelEnglishChapter 112: The Best Granddaughter
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Huo Tingrui retracted his thoughts and started chatting with the old lady in an animated manner.
Yang Qiuhua discovered how well-behaved Huo Tingrui was. He was definitely not as bad as how her daughter had made him out to be. She suddenly felt chatty and talked nonstop without realising the passage of time.
Of course, most of the conversation revolved around Huo Yao. They talked about her growing years with gusto.
The topic of the conversation, Huo Yao, could not help putting her hand on her forehead when she saw how enthralled they both were. She stood up and excused herself. “I’m going to the bathroom.”

The kid never got love from her foster parents, but I can tell she’s doing well now that she has returned to her biological parents.”
There was a faint sense of comfort in the old lady’s voice and a little bit of sadness. Sorrow had enshrouded her face.
Huo Tingrui instinctively frowned. He had a nagging feeling that the old lady sounded odd. It was as though... She was bidding farewell.
After brooding on her words for a couple of seconds, Huo Tingrui replied. “Yaoyao loves you a lot. Even after she returned to us, you are the closest person in her heart.”
A warm look filled her eyes when the old lady heard Huo Tingrui. Huo Yao was the best granddaughter on earth.
“Take care and don’t overthink,” comforted Huo Tingrui.
The old lady smiled in agreement.
Huo Yao returned before long.
The old lady looked out of the window to see that the sky had turned dark, so she told them to leave. “It’s getting late. Why don’t you two go now? Since there are doctors and nurses here to take care of me, there’s no need for you to stay. You’re a senior now, so you have to go back and study hard.”
Huo Yao raised her hand to check her watch before she said, “Why don’t I hang out with you for a while longer?”
The old lady lay back on the bed and covered herself with the blanket as she said, “No no. Go on and leave. I’m tired and want to take a nap.”
Since the old lady genuinely closed her eyes to sleep, Huo Yao sighed helplessly in the end. She gently tucked in her grandmother before she said, “Then rest well. I’ll come by after school tomorrow.”

Huo Yao suddenly turned around and continued speaking after taking a couple of steps. “I forgot to tell you that I took part in another competition. I’ll bring you the trophy for the International Quiz Contest once it’s over.”
“Okay okay. I know how bright you are. Go on. Stop being wishy washy. You nag even more than I do,” said the old lady with a stifled voice before she deliberately turned her body to the other side.
It was the first time she had chased Huo Yao away. Huo Yao rubbed her nose helplessly before quietly leaving the room.
After the door clicked shut, the old lady hastily turned back to gaze at the door with her eyes which had turned red. Her eyes were filled with reluctance and sadness.
After a long time, she sniffled before slowly taking her phone out from under her pillow. Her hand was trembling.

Lu Xia got the chauffeur to follow Huo Tingrui’s car and ended up at the hospital. When Lu Xia saw Huo Tingrui get off the car, her mood sank to the bottom of the abyss.
The man, who used to be Lu Xia’s second older brother, had lied to her blatantly yesterday. She had tried to convince herself that his attitude towards her changed because of Huo Yao.
But when Huo Tingrui came to the hospital with Huo Yao to visit her grandmother today, Lu Xia could no longer remain calm looking at them now.
