Huo Jinyan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that.
Although Huo Yao did not want to join the entertainment industry, she might still change her mind in the future. His daughter used to be a good student. Since she was willing to take leave from school for the sake of the advertising shoot, it was clear that she was gradually changing.
Huo Jinyan narrowed his eyes. Huo Xiang was such a troublemaker!
He placed the car keys back in the drawer at the thought of that and said, “I’m going upstairs.”
He hurried upstairs with a murderous vibe radiating from him.
Huo Yao looked at him perplexedly.
Why did her father go upstairs?
Huo Xiang was still sleeping. He was not planning to get out of bed until ten minutes before Tong Yu arrived.
Since his door was unlocked, Huo Jinyan opened the door and walked in. He could not help feeling furious when he saw Huo Xiang still asleep.
He walked to the bed and pulled off his blanket.
It was early winter. Although it was not that cold, it was chilly in the morning. The moment Huo Jinyan took off the blanket, Huo Xiang woke up in shock.
Huo Xiang flipped over and opened his eyes groggily to see his father standing by his bedside. He pulled the blanket back with his leg and asked sleepily. “Dad, why did you pull my blanket?”
Huo Jinyan said expressionlessly, “I’m warning you. From now on, don’t put your little sister in front of a camera.”
Huo Xiang woke up completely. He sat up in bed and raised his hands to rub his head. “Dad, what do you mean by that?”
Huo Xiang was clueless about where this anger was coming from.
“If you want to shoot ads, then go ahead. But did you have to get your sister involved? Now she even has to take leave from school to do it with you. Don’t you feel bad about it?” Huo Jinyan looked furious.
If there was a stick nearby, he might have even whipped Huo Xiang.
“Listen, Dad. Let me explain. I wasn’t the one…”
“Were you not the one who talked her into this?” interrupted Huo Jinyan.
“I…”
“If you ever take your sister to shoot ads or appear on programs and affect her studies again, I will break your legs,” said Huo Jinyan coldly before he turned to storm out of the room.
The door closed loudly with a thud.
Huo Xiang looked at the door in a daze and felt upset. Moments later, he finally realized the reason behind his father’s anger.
He was clearly the victim here.
???
Huo Xiang went downstairs with his curly hair disheveled 20 minutes later.
He was greeted with the scene of his little sister and father drinking tea on the couch. His father looked kind, completely different from the man who had just threatened to break his legs.
Huo Xiang sighed deeply.
Sure enough, sons had no status in this household.
It broke his heart once again.

Tong Yu arrived sharp at 9:00 am outside the Huo residence.
After getting into the car, Tong Yu noticed how unenergetic Huo Xiang looked, so he asked him in concern. “Huo Xiang, what’s gotten into you? Why are you so listless? Are you sick?”
Huo Xiang glanced at him quietly. How could anyone feel good when their father scolded them first thing in the morning?
“No, I just didn’t sleep well last night.” Huo Xiang gave him a random excuse.
Tong Yu said, “You can sleep in the car later.”
“Uh huh.” Huo Xiang nodded.
Huo Yao raised her brow and bent down to get into the car after him.
