Chapter 124: Futile To Explain

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Huo Jinyan stood up to pick up the phone and placed it on the coffee table. Then he patted his son’s shoulder and left the room without saying a word.

Song Ning sighed rather disappointedly. “You’re too biased against Yaoyao. She’s your biological sister and not an outsider, but you refuse to trust her. If you were sensible and more rational, things like this wouldn’t have happened.”

Huo Yanxi clenched his fists and a slight look of shame emerged on his face.

Since Lu Xia had called him to complain tearfully, Huo Yanxi blamed Huo Yao almost without any hesitation. He subconsciously thought his younger sister was a huge troublemaker. No matter how close Huo Yao was to her grandmother, how could she take her away without saying a word to anyone?

But what happened in the end?

Huo Yanxi’s lips curved up in self-deprecation. He questioned her aggressively, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding.

In comparison to his foster sister, other than leaving him repeatedly speechless, Huo Yanxi had nothing good to say about his pretentious biological sister.

Even though his opinion improved after she got full marks in the quiz, he was yet again disappointed by her indifference and refusal to explain.

Although the events that transpired today were a dead ringer for the previous episode... he was the one who refused to admit that even if she offered an explanation, he would not have believed her.

Disbelief was still the first thing that surfaced in his mind when she had asked him whether he would believe her if she said that she wasn’t the one who took her grandmother away.

Yes, it was futile to explain since he refused to believe her. If it were him, he would not have bothered explaining either.

Huo Yanxi wiped his face and smiled bitterly.

Huo Yao walked out of the shower with her hair still dripping wet. She picked up her phone while it was charging as she blow-dried her hair with a hairdryer. She pressed the power button, and the phone came back to life in a few seconds.

Many notifications for messages and missed calls bounced on the screen. Among them were texts and calls from Huo Yanxi and some unknown numbers.

Huo Yao checked them all. Then she turned off the hairdryer and decided to call her grandmother again. This time, her phone was not unreachable.

The call went through very quickly.

Huo Yao held the phone without saying a word. Her grandmother did not speak either. Other than the slight noise of breathing, it was very quiet.

After a while, Huo Yao said gently, “Granny.”

“Mhm, I... I’m here,” replied the old lady. She seemed to have dropped something, and there was a loud noise that almost completely drowned out her voice.

Huo Yao rubbed her forehead helplessly. She pulled up a chair to sit down and sighed. “Are you going to keep letting me listen to you tip things over?”

The noise suddenly disappeared from the phone.

Two seconds later, the old lady meekly explained. “Cough... I was just about to pour myself some water and dropped it accidentally.”

Huo Yao’s brows quirked up. She languidly leaned back into the chair and the warm light in the room scattered on her face.

Then she said in a warm and unrestrained manner, “Mhm, I get it. Say no more.”

Old Madam Yang, “...”
