Huo Qidong's forehead bulged with veins in his agitation.
"Huo Tingxiao, I have said this is a matter between the elders, it has nothing to do with you!"
The more agitated he became, the more Huo Tingxiao found it amusing.
"A bastard child whose origins are unknown is to be called my brother, and it has nothing to do with me? How do you figure it has nothing to do with me? Since you are so concerned about blood relations, why should I acknowledge such a connection?"
"Huo Tingxiao, are you insisting on opposing me?"
"Do you think I didn't expose him on the spot at the Huo family mansion because of what?
It's because I knew you had your reasons you couldn't reveal.
Now is your best opportunity to come clean with me. If you can convince me, I may choose to keep your secret."
Huo Qidong was enraged.
"You dare to threaten me? Huo Tingxiao, I am your father!"
With a "bang," Huo Qidong slammed his hand hard onto the tea table.
