274 Biological Father
Jing Yan helplessly took her hand and said, “I’m fine now. I’m in good health. There’s an important meeting at the company in the afternoon, so I have to go back early to avoid any mistakes.”
“Alright, then.” He Miao knew that he was as serious about work as she was, so she did not try to persuade him any further. After dinner, she watched him finish his medicine before she reluctantly sent him off.
During the afternoon class, He Miao and Xu Meng were sitting in their seats discussing how to compose a picture for the spring scenery when an unexpected person suddenly appeared at the door.
Xia Yan knocked on the classroom door and said softly, “Miaomiao, I have something to tell you.”
“Alright,” she said. He Miao agreed and patted Xu Meng’s hand to ask her to wait for her. She then walked out of the classroom and led Xia Yan to a corner of the corridor where no one was around. She asked softly, “Yanyan, why are you looking for me?”
Xia Yan frowned and sighed. “I only went to see He Chen after you and Jing Yan left that night’s gala. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen him, but I was too young to remember when I saw him. Now that I’ve taken a closer look, I think…”
Xia Yan was a decisive person and would never stammer like this. However, for some reason, she not only had a hesitant face when she spoke today, but she also looked a little shocked and doubtful.
“What do you think?” He Miao had never seen Xia Yan like this before and immediately asked curiously.
Xia Yan sighed and finally decided to make things clear. She took it as a kind reminder to He Miao out of friendship. “Actually, I think you look a little similar to him.”
After she said that, she became more and more certain of her thoughts. She was ready to tell her everything she knew. “I even asked my mother about this last night. She said that she remembered that your mother, Ye Ning, and He Chen used to be a couple that everyone envied.”
He Miao had already guessed most of what she was about to say, and her expression turned serious.
She did not feel any shame from having her elder’s secret exposed. She just felt that this was too much of a coincidence because she was the only one who knew that before she transmigrated into this book, her most beloved father looked like He Chen.
After Xia Yan finished speaking, she felt as if a huge rock had been lifted off her chest.
She knew that she should not have rashly brought this up with He Miao, but when she met He Chen and learned about the past, she also sent people to find out about He Miao’s past. When she found out that the He family did not even treat He Miao as family, she could not hide her doubts anymore.
Even if He Feng had married a new wife, he should not have been so heartless as to make He Miao stay in the countryside alone for so many years for a groundless reason. After she came back, he did not show any care as a father.
Unless he was not He Miao’s biological father at all, he was not worthy of being a human.
Seeing that the school bell was about to ring, Xia Yan could only say this and give He Miao some time to think about it.
She knew that this would be a huge bombshell to He Miao, but if she did not tell her, she was afraid that she would hold her back for the rest of her life.
He Miao could tell that she was worried, so she smiled helplessly and walked her to the stairs before returning to the classroom.
In fact, Xia Yan’s worries were unnecessary because she had never cared about anyone in the He family from the beginning. However, after hearing Xia Yan’s words, she could not help but have doubts in her heart. Her intuition told her that it was definitely not a coincidence that He Chen and her father looked exactly the same.
Xia Yan might have guessed correctly that He Chen was the biological father of this body.
However, how to verify it became a difficult problem.
After much thought, He Miao decided to tell Jing Yan about this first. After all, he knew the truth about her situation and could help her think of a way.
Jing Yan was in a meeting when he received the message. The meeting was very important, and the people from the other companies were his elders. Even though the Jing family was very powerful now, he had to be polite. He suppressed the urge to check He Miao’s message and only turned on his phone after the meeting.
After reading the message, Jing Yan was slightly stunned. According to He Miao, He Chen looked exactly like her father in her previous life, so it was not strange for the two of them to have some similarities.
Could there really be such a coincidence?
Only then did Jing Yan realize that he had been so jealous that he had missed such an important detail!
It was very likely that He Chen was He Miao’s biological father and He Feng was also very likely to have doubts about this matter, or he was well aware of it!
After thinking it through, he texted He Miao to tell her to calm down and that he would find a way to find out the truth for her.
At the same time, He Chen had also sent people to spend a lot of manpower and money to finally find He Miao’s childhood photos in the mountain village where He Miao had been exiled to.
His original intention was to let people see with their own eyes the place where He Miao had suffered for more than ten years. He wanted to know everything about He Miao and try his best to make up for the gap in her life that he had missed for more than ten years to comfort the guilt in his heart that was becoming more and more irrepressible.
