292 Father’s Nagging
A hint of sorrow flashed across He Chen’s eyes when she mentioned this past. “If it wasn’t for that accident, I wouldn’t have lost my legs. Perhaps we would be a happy family right now and you wouldn’t have to be abused by He Feng.”
When He Miao heard this, she first raised her brows, then looked at the man in front of her, who was still deeply regretful and did not seem to realize that she had already spilled the beans. She shook her head helplessly and smiled. “It’s okay, dad. As long as we still have a chance to reunite with each other, it’s not too late.”
He Chen raised his head in surprise. After a while, he finally realized what she had just called him. His lips trembled as he said nervously, “Miaomiao, you actually know about it?”
He Miao nodded slightly. It did not look like he did not want to acknowledge her, so she told him about the plan she had last time.
Only then did He Chen realize that during their last meeting, the father and daughter had been using all sorts of methods to obtain crucial evidence so that they could verify it in private.
“Young miss, you’re so smart and quick-witted,” the butler said helplessly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. “I’m ashamed of my inferiority.”
He Miao hurriedly shook her head and said humbly, “I didn’t think of it first. It was Xia Yan. She came to me and told me about it after she saw you at the party last time. I only started investigating after that.”
“Xia Yan?” He Chen and the butler looked at each other and simultaneously thought of the smart, mature, and powerful girl.
He Chen nodded slightly. “Xia Yan is a smart child. Are you on good terms with her?”
Since He Miao was determined to treat He Chen as her father, she would not hide anything from him. She told him about her company’s current progress and future plans.
He Chen was full of praise as he applauded. “Great, you’re indeed Ye Ning’s daughter. You’re just like your mother back then, both ambitious and capable. Xia Yan is a good partner. As long as she’s around, you might have one less strong competitor.”
He Miao thought of a name the moment she opened her mouth—Chen Zheng.
When she left the party with Jing Yan last time, she accidentally bumped into Chen Zheng and Xia Yan. Dad, do you know their story?”
He Chen enjoyed chatting with his daughter. He smiled and nodded. “I only heard a little. I was still overseas at the time, but I still paid attention to the rise of Morning Fragrance company for a while. That child was also very calm and mature, decisive and ruthless. Otherwise, he would not have been able to grow the company to its current state at such a young age.”
He Miao nodded. She had heard so many stories about this person that she could not help but be curious about him.
He Chen did not want to talk to her about other people’s affairs. When he thought about Jing Yan, who had been eyeing him covetously when they first met, he could not help but laugh. He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and suddenly asked, “How long have you been with Jing Yan?”
“What?” He Miao did not expect him to suddenly change the topic to her. She blushed and stammered, “No, it hasn’t been that long. It hasn’t even been a year.”
“Oh.” He Chen nodded his head slightly. He suddenly found it hard to accept that his precious daughter, who he had just acknowledged, was already someone else’s girlfriend. He frowned uncomfortably and advised, “All men have to go through many tests to see if they’re suitable to spend the rest of their lives with you. When you’re with him, you must pay attention to propriety and not give in to him too early. Do you understand what I mean?”
Of course, He Miao understood. In her previous life, her father had also taught her this way in preparation for a rainy day. Now that she heard it again, not only did she not find it long-winded, but she also felt warm in her heart. An incredible thought suddenly took root in the bottom of her heart.
In this life, He Chen might have transmigrated just like her. However, he had lost the memories of his previous life. Even so, he still loved her deeply and would always treat her as his most precious daughter.
He Chen nagged for a long time before he came back to his senses. It had been a while since he had heard He Miao’s voice. He suddenly remembered that children these days probably did not like to be controlled by their parents, so he quickly looked up nervously to see her expression.
When he met her gentle and obedient eyes, He Chen’s tensed heart finally relaxed. He could not help but sigh at how silly he was.
His precious daughter was so well-behaved, so how could she be like other rebellious and insensible children, disdaining him for being a long-winded and crippled old man?
He Chen had a feeling that she would be unhappy if he acknowledged He Miao. After all, even if he was rich and powerful, it still could not change the fact that he was not an able-bodied person.
He was afraid that he would tarnish He Miao’s reputation, but now that his daughter was willing to obediently call him “dad,” the uneasiness in his heart suddenly disappeared.
He Miao could tell how careful he was, and she could not help but shake her head and smile. “I’ll be careful. Besides, Jing Yan has always followed the rules. Don’t worry, dad.”
