Chapter 619 : No Common Ground

• Huo Yaodong snorted coldly again, expressing his dissatisfaction. "Yanran, this is not your fault, it has nothing to do with you. Such a big matter, Jingran actually kept it a secret until now without telling me. It really disappoints me."
• Seeing that the atmosphere was not quite right, Ji Yanran was worried that if Huo Yaodong continued to blame Jingran, he might end up blaming her instead. That would only make things worse. She quickly smiled and said, "Uncle Huo, don't be angry. Jingran brother already said that he doesn't remember this matter anymore. Since he doesn't remember, how can he tell you about it?"
• Huo Yaodong opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something more. But seeing Ji Yanran offering him pastries, he realized that she was deliberately trying to stop him from speaking. He also understood that continuing to talk would only make the atmosphere more awkward and might even strain the father-son relationship. Seeing Ji Yanran extending an olive branch, Huo Yaodong followed suit and took the pastries, saying to her, "Alright, alright, I'll try them. I'll try them."
