280 Gifts

Jing Yan brought He Miao through the entrance and handed their coats to the butler. Then, he walked over to He Chen politely. “Uncle He, I brought Miaomiao over to visit you.”

“Have a seat.” He Chen’s eyes indicated for them to sit opposite him, but his gaze was always on He Miao. “I invited you guys here for no other reason than the fact that I’m getting on in years and I want to chat with the younger generation that I haven’t seen in so many years.”

This time, his expression was rather calm, and his usual fierce aura was restrained, as if he was really just a kind elder.

The butler put away the coats and came over to pour tea for the two of them. “President Jing, Miss He, this is my master’s treasured tea. He specially asked me to take it out for the two of you to have a taste.”

Jing Yan picked up the teacup and sniffed it. He suddenly chuckled and said, “Uncle He is so generous. He’s actually willing to take out such a precious and difficult to obtain tea for us juniors to drink. Aren’t you afraid that we can’t taste the tea’s fragrance and will waste it?”

He Miao’s nose was very sensitive, and she could smell the clear fragrance of the tea without even getting close. There was a faint orchid fragrance in it, and she could not help but ask, “Is this the Monkey King Taiping where 100 grams is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars?”

He Chen nodded slightly and raised his hand nonchalantly. “Try it. If you like it, ask the butler to pack some and bring it back for you to drink slowly. Jing Yan, help me give some to your grandfather. I’m sorry that I didn’t pay him a visit personally.”

“Uncle He, please don’t say that.” Ever since he found out that He Chen might be He Miao’s biological father, Jing Yan’s attitude towards him had visibly become more respectful. “Grandpa knows that you’re not feeling well. He even asked me to bring some exquisite gifts for this visit. Grandpa knows that you like these.”

The things had already been handed over to the servant in charge of reception when he came in. At this time, the servant brought up the exquisite white lacquered box and handed it to the He Chen for a closer look.

He Chen took the box and opened the lid. He glanced at the piece of jade lying inside and chuckled. He nodded his head and said, “Help me thank Master Jing for his kind intentions. I’ll definitely pay him a visit some other day. You guys can have some tea first.”

He Miao did not like to drink tea in the past. She preferred sweet things, but this was the first time she had seen such expensive tea leaves. It would be a waste if she did not try them.

She picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea was sweet and mellow, and it was indeed a rare good tea.

He Chen could tell that she liked it a lot, so he immediately turned his head and gave the butler a look.

Two exquisite blue and white porcelain jars were placed on the table. The butler looked at He Yuan with a smile and said, “Miss He, this is a small gift from my master. I hope you can accept it.”

“Uncle He, I can’t accept something so valuable from you.” He Miao shook her head and refused. She was still not sure if the man in front of her was her biological father, so she would not accept such an expensive gift no matter what.

Jing Yan also pushed the jar full of tea leaves forward and said politely, “We’ve received Uncle He’s kind intentions, but we really cannot accept such precious tea leaves. This tea is priceless, and it should belong to someone who knows how to appreciate it better. It’s a waste to give it to young people like us.”

He Chen looked steadily at the young president in front of him, who spoke slowly and flawlessly. He suddenly chuckled and nodded. “That’s good. Butler, go and get them some warm milk. Miaomiao should like this. Go to the kitchen and see how the food is going.”

The last time they met, he had already figured out her preferences. As long as he prepared it according to Ye Ning’s taste, he would not go wrong.

As expected, He Miao’s eyes lit up when she heard that there was milk.

He Chen looked at her and felt as if he could see the carefree Ye Ning from the past through her. She used to smile sweetly when she got the food she liked.

Even though she was born in the countryside, she had a great appetite. The temperament of this mother and daughter were exactly the same.

The butler was very efficient. After a while, he came out from the kitchen with two glasses of milk of moderate temperature. He stood behind He Chen and bowed. “Master, the food is ready.”

“Yes.” He Chen nodded in satisfaction. He raised his hand and gestured in the direction of the dining room. “Let’s eat first. We can talk after we eat.”

The H family’s family rules were very strict. They paid attention to the rule of not speaking when eating or sleeping. They were not as casual as the two of them in their own home.

It could be seen that the He family was well-deserved to be able to rise to the top. After all, it was difficult for the descendants who grew up in such a strict family to not be successful.

He Miao and Jing Yan also followed the rules of the He family and did not speak.

It was not until they were done eating that He Chen put down his cutleries and picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth. Then, he looked at He Miao with a smile. “Are you full? If you’re not full, you can ask the kitchen to make something for you according to your taste.”

He Miao knew the rules. She put down her cutleries and nodded. “I’m full. Thank you for your hospitality, Uncle He.”
