"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.
