...upon seeing Toph for the first time in two years?
Given that Mr and Mrs Beifong hid Toph's existence from the world, no one really knows Toph being related to them (assuming the world only knew Toph as the Avatar's earthbending master, the inventor of metalbending, proprietor of the metalbending school, but not a Beifong). How would Lao act upon seeing Toph again?
- Lao will disown her for leaving to train Aang
- Lao feared that having a blind daughter would disgrace him and the family, so he'll outright deny he had a child in the first place
- Lao will finally accept Toph's earthbending mastery and treat her fairly now knowing Toph's contributions in the war
- Lao will continue to mistreat Toph the way he did before, if not worse
