Chapter 218: Don’t Be Biased

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Huo Jinyan immediately recalled how his wife had almost stopped complaining about her migraine these days.

Although he was curious about where his daughter bought the medicine from, he did not want to quiz her if she was unwilling to volunteer the information.

Everyone had secrets and the right to their privacy. Moreover, their daughter had not lived with them for 17 years. After they finally got reunited, all he wanted was for them to be together, so it was unnecessary to get suspicious about other matters.

Huo Jinyan patted his belly gently and said, “Will your little sister do anything to harm you?”

Huo Xiang was taken aback at the question and automatically shook his head in negative.

“That’s what matters, right? There’s no point in being curious. She will tell us about it when she’s comfortable.” Huo Jinyan was pretty broadminded in his outlook.

Thinking about his eldest son, Huo Jinyan said in a serious tone, “Trust is important in a family. Distrust among family members will bring more pain than any hurt inflicted by outsiders. Xiang, I don’t want you to have any bias or misconceptions about your sister.”

Huo Xiang rarely saw his father speaking so gravely. Despite his surprise, he replied solemnly. “Yao has a good temper and cute personality. Why would I have a bias against her? Even if she has any shortcomings, she is still my little sister.”

“Good!” Huo Jinyan paused and then corrected him. “Your little sister doesn’t have any shortcomings. She’s a million times more filial than any of you boys.”

Huo Xiang choked. “It was just a figure of speech.”

Huo Jinyan glanced at him. Huo Xiang was not allowed to badmouth his sister even metaphorically.

“Oh yes. Why are you so free lately? Don’t you have to go to work?” asked Huo Jinyan. From the sound of it, he did not like having Huo Xiang around.

Since Huo Xiang was already accustomed to his father’s incessant hints about moving out, his skin had gotten a lot thicker. He nodded and said, “No, I don’t. The company has allowed me to take a long break.”

Huo Jinyan narrowed his eyes and asked him. “You’ve been acting weird recently. Did something happen?”

“Nothing. I just wanted to take a breather,” replied Huo Xiang without skipping a beat.

Huo Jinyan did not carry on probing.

In hindsight, if the medicine his daughter gave Huo Xiang was priceless, then what about his?

Huo Jinyan touched his chin, lost in his thoughts. Then he stood up and went to his bedroom.

The next day.

Shortly after Huo Yao reached school, an announcement was made through the PA system, telling all teachers and students to gather for the assembly. Since the assembly was usually held on Mondays, everyone found it strange that a second assembly was happening this morning.

Soon, the students and teachers assembled on the track. The Vice-principal was usually the one in charge of the assembly, but this time, the Principal stood on the podium.

Huo Yao and Meng Ying stood in the last row of their class.

“I have a feeling that we’re here because of yesterday’s post,” whispered Meng Ying to Huo Yao, leaning forward.

Huo Yao glanced at the podium and shrugged her shoulders. “Maybe.”

“Did you look at the forum last night?” asked Meng Ying.

“Nope.” Huo Yao lazily lowered her head and tapped her toes drearily against the ground.

“Didn’t you go and see Lu Xia yesterday? Someone posted your conversation with Lu Xia onto the forum. Many people have started wondering how you are related to Lu Xia.”

Meng Ying was behaving like a complete busybody and continued to chatter in a whispered tone. “Lu Xia’s surname used to be ‘Huo’. Then she found out she was swapped at birth and changed her surname after finding out who her biological parents were. Sister Big Shot, don’t tell me you... you were the other baby?”

Although it was quite the plot twist, it was not entirely impossible.
