Huo Tingrui did not pay any attention to his little sister’s expression. Instead, he was stunned to hear what the old man just said.

Was it not Old Madam Yang who brought up his little sister?

Also, did Old Madam Yang not live on her own?

How could a grandfather turn up out of nowhere?

The old man detected Huo Tingrui’s surprise, so he narrowed his eyes and explained. “I lived next door to her back at home, and she often came over to my place.”

Huo Tingrui suddenly realized who he was.

Since the old man was Old Madam Yang’s next-door neighbor, he must have taken care of Huo Yao while she was growing up. Even though something seemed amiss for her to call him her grandfather, it was understandable.

Hence, Huo Tingrui nodded politely to the old man. “Thanks for taking care of my little sister.”

Huo Yao went quiet.

Sigh! Another one fell for his lies.

She could not bear watching it any longer.

The old man secretly glanced at Huo Yao. He gleefully smiled when he noticed that she was not talking at all.

he raised his hand at Huo Tingrui. “You’re welcome. It’s no big deal.”

Huo Tingrui sat down across the old man and chatted with him.

Huo Yao watched as the liar conversed with her stupid brother happily. She shook her head and stood up. Since the old man had his eyes on her the entire time, the moment she stood up, he suddenly grabbed her arm.

Huo Yao glanced sideways at him.

The old man coughed. “Where are you going?”

“... The bathroom,” said Huo Yao coldly.

The old man went quiet.

Huo Yao pulled her arm from him and left the living room.

The old man looked from behind as she left and felt she had quite the temper.

After Huo Yao went to the bathroom, she headed to the kitchen. She leaned against the door as she looked at her parents cook and asked. “Dad, how did the old man end up at our place?”

Her father overlooked the way his daughter had addressed the old man and replied while washing the vegetables. “Your phone was in your room, and I happened to hear it ring. When I answered it, I realized that the poor old man was new in town and stuck in the hospital. Hence, your mother and I went over to bring him here.”

She just knew it.

Huo Yao rubbed her forehead. “Did it cross your mind that he could be a liar?”

Huo Jinyan raised his head and glanced at Huo Yao. “Impossible. He was able to say so much about you.”

Huo Yao frowned and said seriously, “You were conned. I don’t know him at all.”

Huo Jinyan stopped washing the vegetables and said to his daughter earnestly, “We can’t forget our roots. Although he is from a small town, he was kind to you when you were a kid, so we can’t act like we don’t know him.”

“Your father is right. The old man is already in his 80s. What’s the point of lying to us?” Song Ning chimed in too.

Huo Yao went speechless. “...”

The liar had brainwashed her parents successfully, so they were both on his side now.

Song Ning placed the dishes on plates and said, “Enough. Stop standing around. Dinner is ready, so go get your grandfather to come over.”

Huo Yao touched her nose and turned to leave the kitchen.

The old man was sticking close to Huo Yao and even sat beside her. He behaved cautiously as though he was worried that Huo Yao might get upset.

The rest of the Huo family felt bad seeing this, so all three of them were particularly kind to the old man during dinner.

Meanwhile, Huo Yao was quietly labeled as a disappointment.
