Chapter 279 - 279 Meeting

279 Meeting

At night, Jing Yan came to the university gate to pick He Miao up. He Chen was very good at handling matters. He did not invite He Miao alone, afraid that she would reject him if it was too sudden. So, he specially asked someone to invite Jing Yan to his house. He mentioned He Miao in his words, and his meaning was very obvious.

Jing Yan recalled what He Miao had said the other day and agreed readily. If He Chen was really He Miao’s biological father, it would be a good thing for her.

He Feng was despicable and shameless, and he did not know how to respect women. Even if it was only in name, Jing Yan did not want He Miao to have any connection with him.

He Miao turned to Jing Yan with a smile after they got into the car. “This is the first time I’ve seen you in a dark blue suit.”

She remembered that Jing Yan was not wearing this when she saw him this morning. Did he go home to change his clothes for the date?

Jing Yan patted her head with a smile and told the chauffeur to drive. “I went to your company today to see how the renovation was going. I didn’t expect to get my clothes dirty.”

Chen Zhao, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, immediately turned around and apologized to the two. “It’s all my fault for not taking care of it in time. Tao Xin didn’t do it on purpose. Please don’t blame her, President Jing and Miss He.”

He Miao smiled, as if she did not take it to heart. “It’s nothing. Did you buy this suit for Jing Yan?”

Chen Zhao was stunned for a moment. He looked at Jing Yan, who did not say a word, but he still answered honestly, “No, Tao Xin bought it as an apology to President Jing. It’s a kind gesture from her. Please don’t blame her for being clumsy, Miss He.”

He Miao nodded in understanding. Just a moment ago, she had thought that Jing Yan looked handsome and suave in a suit, but now, she found him an eyesore no matter how she looked at him. She pretended to sit further away unintentionally and said in a calm tone, “It’s alright. Tao Xin is very serious. She takes photos of the renovation progress and sends them to me every day.”

“Yes, this is what she should do.” Chen Zhao smiled and agreed.

He did not want Tao Xin to lose this precious job. Seeing that He Miao and Jing Yan were about to get engaged, it was undoubtedly the best place for her to go to.

Besides, she did not have any other secretaries. After Tao Xin and He Miao spent more time together, she would definitely be the head secretary in the future. Her status would be very different.

He Miao, of course, understood Chen Zhao’s concern for Tao Xin. She turned her head and looked out of the window, her face expressionless.

However, Jing Yan still felt that she was angry. He could not help but lean over and pull her into his arms, asking in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”

He Miao looked up at him and sighed. She took out her phone and typed, [Don’t make a sound. Help me check the real expenses of this renovation tomorrow.]

Jing Yan furrowed his brows and replied, [Why? Are you suspecting that Tao Xin made false accounts?]

He Miao did not answer his question, but reminded him, [Remember not to let Chen Zhao know about this.]

He was not afraid that Chen Zhao would tell on him, but he was afraid that Chen Zhao would not be able to accept the truth.

He Miao only needed one look to know what kind of person Tao Xin was. She did not meet many people, but she was good at reading people. In order to not make any mistakes on the surface, Tao Xin could only do these little tricks behind her back.

He Miao was not a petty person, but she would never allow her company to have a secretary who deceived her superiors and subordinates before it was even established!

Jing Yan did not ask any more questions and nodded slightly. Seeing her cute and serious look, he could not help but lower his head and kiss her cheek.

As if someone had stepped on her tail, He Miao immediately pushed the man away. She was obviously shocked by his sudden attack. “We’re in a car!”

“I know,” Jing Yan did not mind. He cupped her face and planted a kiss on the other side. Only when he saw that He Miao was truly embarrassed did he kindly let go of her hand and coaxed her softly, “Okay, okay, okay, I won’t move around. Sit closer. Why are you so far away from me?”

He Miao rolled her eyes at him and moved away unwillingly. Then, she turned her head to look out the window again, refusing to look at him.

At the He family’s manor, He Chen was anxiously waiting in the living room as he drank cup after cup of hot tea that the housekeeper had refilled.

The butler saw that he had already finished a whole pot and could not help but tease, “Master, don’t be nervous. Miss He and you get along very well. She will definitely come with President Jing.”

He Chen put down his teacup and nodded gently. “I hope so.”

He had been the head of the He family for so many years, but he had never been so nervous. He could not help but think of the first time he met Ye Ning, his heart was also beating like a drum.

If He Miao was really his daughter, then he was willing to do everything in his power to protect her and give her everything that belonged to the He family.

As she was lost in her thoughts, there was a sudden rush of footsteps from the courtyard. The servant who was responsible for keeping watch outside knocked on the door and said happily, “Master, President Jing is here with Miss He.”

“Quickly let them in!” He Chen was overjoyed, but nothing was set in stone yet. He could not make it too obvious to avoid scaring He Miao. He could only suppress the surprise in his eyes and sit in his wheelchair, staring straight at the door.
