He did not say a word towards the likely-excuse as he only responded with a nod. He walked to Mo Ning and tapped her shoulder with a grave expression, "Mo Ning, honestly speaking, Huo Run is the daughter of my cousin, my niece. She addresses me as 'Uncle'."

I did perform very basic research on the family, like I know the family tree at least. Huo Chen does have a son but that son has never showed up in public.
"Yeah." Huo Junyu decided to not hide it. He added, "Huo Run is the daughter of Brother Yunting and Brother Yunting and his wife treasures her a lot. I can tell that you both share only friendships. But, as a good roommate of yours, I decided to give you a piece of advice—Don't even think about it 'cause the cost is greater than you think."
