135 Sending Fragrance

The first thing He Miao and Jing Yan saw when they got home was the car parked at the entrance.

He Miao knew it. As expected, the moment he entered the living room, she heard He Wei’s hearty laughter.

Seeing that the two of them had returned together, a hint of jealousy flashed across He Wei’s eyes.

After her and her manager’s plan was exposed, her fans’ favorability towards her had dropped significantly. There were no good jobs offered recently, which led to her still being unable to use the koi system. Otherwise, she would definitely use it again to separate the two no matter what.

“Oh, you two are back so soon.” Old Master Jing said, “Let me see what present Miaomiao has prepared for grandfather.”

“It’s the fragrance that Miaomiao personally mixed for you.” Jing Yan sat down beside He Miao with a smile and helped to pass the things to his grandfather.

As expected, Old Master Jing was invigorated. His wife used to love putting fragrances in the room, and she always made the room and clothes smell nice.

Ever since she had passed away, no one had noticed these details. As time passed, he gradually forgot the feeling of being surrounded by the fragrance. Now that he took the fragrance sachet that He Miao had personally made, there was only a strong sense of nostalgia in the old man’s heart.

“Grandpa, do you like the smell?” He Miao looked at the old man with tears in her eyes and felt touched for him.

He Wei had been coming to visit him frequently recently, which made her even more certain that an unfortunate accident would happen to Old Master Jing soon. According to the convention of ordinary novels, at such a critical moment, the female protagonist should appear to save the male protagonist’s grandfather and warm up their relationship.

However, another surprise was that the infatuated male protagonist in the novel was sitting beside her, staring at her as if he could never get enough of her.

“I like it. Miaomiao’s fragrance-making skills are no less than your grandfather’s.” With tears in his eyes, the old man thought of his old friend and wife who had passed away. He looked at He Miao with even more kindness. “If your grandfather knows that you’ve finally inherited his legacy, he’ll be so happy in the afterlife.”

“Miaomiao has just transferred to the fragrance-making major, but she has already learned how to make such a complicated fragrance. I wonder who on earth did you learn this craft from?” He Wei asked with a smile. This question had been bothering He Feng for many days. She racked her brains but still could not figure out when He Miao’s grandfather had taught her this skill.

Unless her grandfather had left someone behind for her and sent someone to the countryside to teach her.

However, if that was the case, would He Miao also know that her grandfather had left her an inheritance before his death?

If that was the case, then there was the strongest explanation for He Miao’s actions—she had done all this to take back the inheritance from He Feng.

He Feng would never spit out the meat that he had already eaten. He Miao’s recent performance had become a sore point in his heart.

Old Master Jing had been in the business world for many years. How could he not understand He Wei’s intentions? He was not happy with her questioning. “Miaomiao is a smart child. She can understand everything with just a little bit. Besides, she is related to her grandfather by blood. Her grandfather was a famous fragrance maker back in the day. Miaomiao might have inherited his talent.”

He Miao knew that Od Master Jing was trying to protect her, but if she did not personally give an explanation, the He family would not be at ease. She followed Old Master Jing’s words and said, “Grandpa loves making fragrances the most. Although I haven’t been influenced by him since I was a child, I’ve always been curious about it. In the past, when I was in the countryside, I always asked the village chief to buy some related books from the town, and I learned some tricks by myself.”

She was not lying, and the few spices that were common in the countryside and mountains were often used in fragrance making, so it was not surprising that she could figure out some of them by herself.

Hearing her explanation, He Wei was slightly relieved and knew how to reply to He Feng. She skipped the question that made the old man unhappy and started to praise He Miao instead. “I didn’t expect you to be so talented and be able to master this technique in such a modest situation. It’s really a waste to let you stay in the countryside all these years.”

She knew how much Old Master Jing liked He Miao. As long as she maintained her image as He Miao’s older sister in front of Old Master Jing, and added with the life-saving plot she had been preparing for a long time, he would definitely treat her differently.

Jing Yan had been sitting at the side, watching He Miao attentively. The closer he got to her, the more he discovered her mystery.

To him, He Miao was like an exquisitely wrapped gift. Every time he peeled away a layer, he would discover the hidden treasure inside. He would be pleasantly surprised, and he would be completely mesmerized by her.

As usual, He Wei accompanied the old man until noon before leaving for work.

After He Wei left, He Miao then brought up the matter and worriedly said, “Grandpa, I have a competition next weekend, and I can only come to see you after the competition. But Jing Yan and I will call you every day, so you must let us know if you are feeling unwell.”
