Huo Jinyan was reminded of his wife's migraines. He had never heard her complain about having a headache.
Although he was curious about where his daughter got the medicine, he would not ask if she did not want to tell him.
Everyone had their own secrets. Moreover, they were not involved in their daughter's life for the first 17 years. Now that they were finally home, it was enough for them to be reunited. There was no need to be suspicious about anything else.
Huo Jinyan collected his thoughts and patted his tummy gently before he said slowly. "Would your little sister harm you?"
Huo Xiang was stunned. He instinctively shook his head.
"That settles it. Why are you so curious? She will tell you everything when she wants to." Huo Jinyan had thought things through.
Huo Jinyan thought of his eldest son and said earnestly, "Distrust is the biggest taboo among family members. Some distrust hurts more than outsiders. Xiang, I don't want you to be prejudiced against your little sister."
Huo Xiang rarely saw his father speaking so seriously. Although he was surprised, he replied seriously. "My little sister has a good temper and is well-behaved. Why would I be prejudiced against her? Even if she has bad habits, she is still my little sister."
"Good that you know!" Huo Jinyan paused before he corrected him. "Your little sister doesn't have any bad habits. She is much more filial than you and your brothers."
Huo Xiang choked. "I was just making an analogy."
Huo Jinyan glanced at him. Even an analogy did not work.

"Oh yes. Why have you been so free lately? Didn't the company assign you any work? "asked Huo Jinyan. Huo Xiang could hear the disdain in his voice when he listened carefully.
Huo Xiang had gotten used to his father hinting at him to get out of the house, so he was much more thick-skinned than before. He nodded. "Uh huh. The company gave me a long vacation."
Huo Jinyan narrowed his eyes and asked him. "You've been acting weird lately. Did something happen?"
"Nothing. I just felt like taking a break," replied Huo Xiang without a change in expression.
Huo Jinyan did not probe further.
Then he thought about it. If his daughter gave Xiang Xiang the medicine, it was priceless. What about his?
Huo Jinyan touched his chin before he stood up and returned to his room.

The next day.
Not long after Huo Yao arrived at school, the school's broadcasting room informed all the teachers and students that there would be a school meeting. Usually, the school meeting would be held once a week. Many students were puzzled by the sudden announcement on Friday.
Soon, all the teachers and students of the school who received the notice gathered on the sports field. Usually, the vice-principal presided over the central rostrum, but this time, it was the principal who stood on it.
Huo Yao and Meng Ying stood at the back of the class.
"I have a feeling that today's meeting has something to do with yesterday's post on the forum," said Meng Ying softly as she turned her head.
Huo Yao glanced at the stage thoughtfully. "Maybe."
"Did you check the forum last night?" Meng Ying asked again.
"No." Huo Yao lowered her head and tapped her toes on the ground lazily.
"Didn't you meet up with Lu Xia from the Rocket Class yesterday afternoon? Someone posted your conversation with Lu Xia in the chat section. Now, many people are guessing the relationship between you two." "That's right.
Meng Ying was full of gossip as she said, "Lu Xia's surname used to be Huo, but she changed back to her biological parents' surname after she was switched. Sister Big Shot, are you the one who was switched with her?"
