Huo Jinyan stood up, picked up his phone from the floor, and placed it on the coffee table. He patted his eldest son's shoulder and left without saying a word. Song Ning sighed in disappointment.
Song Ning sighed in disappointment. "You're just too prejudiced against Yaoyao. She is your little sister and not an outsider, but you're always unwilling to trust her. Take what happened tonight for example. If you had calmed down a little, things wouldn't have turned out this way."
Huo Yanxi clenched his fists by his side. A trace of embarrassment and shame appeared on his face.
When he received Xiaxia's tearful phone call tonight, he almost instantly concluded that Huo Yao was the culprit. He subconsciously thought that his little sister was always restless. Even if Huo Yao was really close to Xiaxia's grandmother, she should not have done something as willful as picking Xiaxia's grandmother up.
But now?
Huo Yanxi's lips curved into a self-deprecating smile. After questioning Huo Yao angrily, everything turned out to be a misunderstanding.
Compared to his foster sister, apart from making him speechless time and time again, his biological sister did not seem to have any good points about her.
Even though his impression of her had changed a little because she had scored full marks in the competition, he was once again disappointed by her cold and indifferent attitude of not explaining anything.
The situation today was very similar to the last time. However... he was the one who did not want to admit it. Even if she explained, he would not believe her.
Just like when she asked him, "How will you judge if I tell you that I didn't pick Xiaxia up?", his first reaction was still disbelief.
She was right. He knew that she would not believe him, so it was pointless to explain. If he were in her shoes, he would not have bothered to explain himself either.
Huo Yanxi wiped his face and smiled bitterly.

Huo Yao had just come out of the shower, and her hair was still dripping wet. She picked up the hairdryer to dry her hair while she picked up her phone that was charging. She pressed the power button for a few seconds, and the phone was turned on.
Many text messages and missed calls popped up on the screen, including Huo Yanxi's number and text messages. There were also a few unfamiliar numbers.
Huo Yao browsed through them and contemplated for a moment. She turned off the hairdryer and called her grandmother. This time, she did not get the cold tone of the phone being turned off.
After a while, the call was connected.
Huo Yao held her phone and did not speak. The old lady did not speak either. Other than the sound of her breathing, it was very quiet on the other end of the line.
After some time, Huo Yao said softly, "Grandma."
"Yes, grandma … grandma is here." When the old lady said this, she didn't know what she had knocked over, but the noise was so loud that it almost drowned out her voice.
Huo Yao pressed her forehead helplessly. Then she pulled out a chair and sat down. She sighed. "Are you sure you want me to hear you knocking things over?"
Thus, as soon as she finished speaking, the various noises on the other end of the phone instantly disappeared.
Two seconds later, he heard the old lady explain weakly, "Cough... I was about to pour myself a glass of water and accidentally spilled it."
Huo Yao raised her brow slightly and leaned back into the chair lazily. The warm light in the room shone on her face, making her look warm and relaxed. "Uh huh. I understand. You don't have to explain."
