Watching them leave, Lady Xie stared at their retreating figures until they faded from view before finally withdrew her gaze.
She cast a glance at her granddaughter standing beside her. For the first time, Lady Xie felt disappointed by how useless she was. Despite devoting herself to nurturing her, she couldn't match Shen Xinglan who was raised without the guidance of a mother.
"What's wrong with you? All you needed to do was secure your position with Huo Huaichuan, why did you have to provoke Shen Xinglan?"
Lady Xie berated her, feeling like a patient losing faith in a treatment. She had set high hopes on her granddaughter, but instead, found herself deeply disappointed.
"Grandmother, with Shen Xinglan around, I have no chance of entering the Huo Family." Xie Weiyi didn't dare let Lady Xie know about her affection for Huo Shiyan.
