Chapter 725: Stupid Countryside
“Oh her?” Old Madam Yang responded sadly before she finally said, “...She’s a senior just like Yaoyao, so she is busy studying.”
In reality, her so-called biological granddaughter had never visited the countryside, let alone visit her.
Old Madam Yang had seen her biological granddaughter when He Xiaoman brought her into the city to live with them. She could tell that Lu Xia did not like her. Despite never blatantly showing contempt towards her, Old Madam Yang could still detect it.
Only Huo Yao kept thinking about her after she went back home to the Huos even though she was not really her grandmother.
Huo Yulin glanced at Old Madam Yang and detected the calmness in her eyes. She was probably badly disappointed by her biological granddaughter. Perhaps she never bore any hope to begin with.
Then again, Lu Xia did not even have the courage to admit that she was Old Madam Yang’s biological granddaughter at the shop earlier. How could she genuinely care about Old Madam Yang?
Considering the kind of girl Lu Xia was, she must be up to no good now that she was suddenly here to visit her grandmother.
Huo Yulin narrowed his eyes as he contemplated.
Huo Yulin left the kitchen after helping her prepare the ingredients. He walked out of the house. Even though it was still snowing, it wasn’t as heavy.
Huo Yulin stood outside the door in the yard before he took out his phone and called Chen Ming.

After Lu Xia ran off, she returned to the hotel.
In reality, she had already arrived in town yesterday. The town was so backward that even the best hotel here was nothing better than an average hotel in major cities. It was clear that her grandmother’s place would be equally worn out.
She had decided to spend the night at the hotel before mustering up the courage to visit Old Madam Yang. However, she ended up seeing the last person she wanted to see in her life.
Huo Yulin wouldn’t have shown up here for no reason. It seemed that Huo Yao must be in town.
The moment Lu Xia thought about Huo Yao, her eyes became filled with hatred. Huo Yao had already reunited with the Huo family, but she pretentiously continued to throw herself at Old Madam Yang. She was completely shameless!
Lu Xia kept pacing up and down inside the hotel room as she pondered. She pulled out her phone and wanted to call He Xiaoman.
But someone knocked on the door after she pressed dial. She hung up the phone before it got through. She put on her shades and walked to the door. She peered through the viewfinder and saw a hotel front desk officer standing outside, so she opened the door.
“Yes?” said Lu Xia coldly.
The front desk officer smiled apologetically. “I am sorry, Miss. There is something wrong with our fire protection, so we need you to check out.”
Lu Xia frowned. “Something wrong with the fire protection?”
“That’s right. I am sure you wouldn’t want to stay in a hotel with a fire hazard, right?” said the front desk officer.
She paused before she continued. “Of course, we will refund you double the fees of your room to make up for it.”
Lu Xia felt even more annoyed to hear this. However, she did not have the cheek to kick a fuss like a shrew from the countryside, so she pressed her forehead and said impatiently, “Fine. Got it.”
She slammed the door shut loudly.
This stupid countryside! She could not even stay at the hotel in peace.
Lu Xia packed her luggage angrily and went down to the main hall where she gave the front desk officer her identification card and key card.
The front desk officer had already prepared the refund. She seemed completely relieved when Lu Xia came to return the key card. Lu Xia failed to notice her expression and simply took the money and headed out.
Meanwhile, some other guests hurried into the hotel when she left.
