The principal was shocked to see Yang Xue dare speak to Huo Tingdong in such a way, feeling nervous: "Mrs. Liang, don’t get agitated! This is Huo’s parent. Mr. Huo is a reasonable person; after finding out what happened, he will definitely give you an explanation!"
Upon hearing the word "Mr.", Yang Xue’s deanor involuntarily softened a bit.
Huo Tingdong looked at Huo Linzhou, his tone stern: "Co here."
Huo Linzhou walked over to him.
Huo Tingdong glanced at him, noticing the bruises on his face. His tone turned even colder: "You haven’t answered my question yet."
He knew his son well; he wouldn’t normally bully others. But since he had acted, he needed to find out what happened first.
Huo Linzhou turned his face away, unwilling to answer the question.
He couldn’t explain it clearly.
Originally, this matter was not sothing he should have ddled in.
He had no standing to interfere.
But for so reason, he couldn’t stand seeing Liang Yin being bullied, regardless of who was involved. When he saw Liang Yin being dragged on the ground, he lost control.
Seeing Huo Tingdong’s fierce deanor, Liang Yin gathered her courage, clenched her fists, and finally walked over to him: "You’re Huo’s father, right?"
Huo Tingdong followed the voice and looked over. However, when his gaze landed on Liang Yin, his pupils constricted violently.
Liang Yin noticed the change in his gaze and shrunk her shoulders in fear, but she cald her fears and tried to explain for Huo Linzhou: "Don’t bla him... he ant well. Here’s what happened. My parents suddenly ca to my school to take ho. I refused, and then... my dad got physical with . Huo passed by and probably misunderstood, thinking it was outsiders causing trouble for , so he..."
Huo Tingdong suddenly took a quick step forward and tightly grasped Liang Yin’s hand.
He held on so tightly, yet carefully, afraid of hurting her.
"Yinyin..."
Liang Yin was startled.
Everyone was shocked.
Liang Yin looked around in confusion and then looked back at Huo Tingdong, her face turning pale: "What’s going on..."
Huo Tingdong’s gaze was fixed on her face, examining it closely.
It couldn’t be wrong.
He couldn’t have mistaken her for soone else.
Ever since Yinyin went missing, every year, he enlisted experts to draw portraits of her.
When Yinyin disappeared, she was still young; her features hadn’t fully developed.
But as the years passed, children mature, so he had experts draw portraits based on Yinyin’s photos, capturing her bone structure, and would create annual portraits imagining her growing up.
Even though he consulted different experts with varying results,
he examined each portrait closely and etched them into his mind.
He even imagined if Yinyin grew up, what she would look like.
From that one glance at Liang Yin, he imdiately recognized one of the portraits!
Yinyin?!
Could it be that his daughter was truly back?!
Huo Tingdong’s icy deanor changed, with his dark pupils trembling and eyelids reddening, overwheld by a flood of emotions.
"Yinyin, it’s , Daddy. Do you recognize ?"
Huo Tingdong embraced her shoulders: "It’s , Daddy."
Huo Linzhou stood in shock, unable to process: "Daddy?"
But Huo Tingdong couldn’t be bothered with him; his gaze was fixed on Liang Yin, afraid she would leave his sight.
Yang Xue felt utterly baffled, walking over to attempt to pry off Huo Tingdong’s hand: "What are you doing!? Let go of her, she’s my daughter!"
Huo Tingdong didn’t even look at her, directly shaking off her hand: "Don’t touch her with your hands!"
Liang Yin said: "Uncle, did you mistake for soone else..."
Huo Tingdong’s lips pressed tightly, and he firmly embraced her: "You’re my daughter. A father can’t mistake his own daughter!"
From the day Yinyin was born, he devoted himself more than Lin Qi. You could say Yinyin grew up little by little in his arms.
Others might make a mistake, might not recognize, but he couldn’t be wrong!
Even if—
If it turned out he was mistaken, he could apologize, but he wouldn’t miss even the slightest chance!
He’d rather be wrong than miss out!
Huo Tingdong felt both heartbreak and panic, knowing it was normal she didn’t recognize him.
The year she disappeared, she was so young. It’s understandable young children don’t rember their childhoods.
But after searching for her for so many years, dreaming of her day and night, now finally having his daughter before him, he would have to be an idiot not to recognize his own daughter!
Huo Tingdong said: "Yinyin, don’t you recognize Daddy? You grew up in Daddy’s arms. You rember Daddy, who loved you the most?"
Huo Linzhou’s eyes widened in shock, taking a step back.
In that mont, countless thoughts flooded into his mind.
His head ached, his fingers massaged his temples, one hand supporting the table as his mind spun out of control!
Sister...
He had a sister...
Though Huo Linzhou was reacting with shock, Huo Tingdong was entirely focused on Liang Yin.
Liang Sheng stood up, exchanging a glance with Yang Xue, feeling flustered.
What was happening!? Could it be he’s really Liang Yin’s biological father?
He certainly knew Liang Yin was adopted; they never pursued her biological parents. In a big world, her biological parents likely gave up looking for her!
After all, daughters were not as cherished as sons!
Could it be... such an unfathomable coincidence?
At the thought that this man might indeed be Liang Yin’s real father, Liang Sheng couldn’t sit still!
Having raised a daughter for seventeen years, it didn’t make sense to simply give her back!
Liang Sheng rushed over, and simultaneously, Yang Xue rushed over too.
Huo Tingdong shielded Liang Yin in his arms, abruptly pushing away their reaching hands: "Don’t touch her!"
Liang Sheng said: "What are you doing! You’ve got it wrong; she’s my daughter! Are you trying to kidnap my daughter?"
He then attempted to rush forward again.
Huo Tingdong protected Liang Yin with one arm, grabbing Liang Sheng’s wrist with the other. With a bit of force, there was a "crack" as Liang Sheng’s wrist was dislocated.
Huo Tingdong’s gaze was murderous: "I’ll warn you one more ti, don’t lay a finger on her!"
Liang Yin, encased in his protection, felt rigid as a stone.
She lifted her head in confusion but saw Huo Tingdong’s sharp gaze, unyieldingly glaring at Liang Sheng: "If you touch her finger, I’ll cripple your hand!"
The principal said nervously: "Mr. Huo, calm down! This is a misunderstanding!"
Huo Tingdong: "Shut up!"
He lowered his head, gently cupping Liang Yin’s face, his eyes red with tears: "Yinyin, don’t you rember Daddy at all? It’s , your father. You’re my... only daughter... Yinyin, Daddy won’t lose you again, I’m sorry..."
