320 A Secret Discussion In The Study

He Miao nodded obediently and watched Jing Yan leave before she went upstairs with the butler.

In the car, Chen Zhao thought it would take a while for his boss to come out. Just as he lowered his seat and laid down comfortably for a while, the back door was suddenly pulled open. A gust of cold wind rushed in, causing him to sit up immediately. “President Jing, why are you back so soon? Didn’t you go to see Mr. He?”

Logically speaking, when the president saw Mr. He, he would definitely explain what happened at the press conference. He should not have come out in just a few minutes.

Jing Yan’s light-colored eyes turned cold. He shook his head and said, “There’s no need to. Uncle He is a wise man.”

He Chen understood. Although he was anxious, he did not wait for them in the living room as usual. Instead, he went to the study to avoid Jing Yan. He believed that even if Jing Yan wanted to go up and greet him, the butler would have already thought of a good excuse to reject him.

Jing Yan was a tactful man. Since Uncle He had a secret to tell He Miao, why should he get involved and be an eyesore? In any case, he and He Miao trusted each other. As long as he was willing to find out after the matter, He Miao would definitely tell him everything she knew and not hold back.

In the study, He Chen sat in a wheelchair, his entire body bathed in the moonlight that seeped in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. However, the expression on his face was a little blurry, making it difficult to tell what he was feeling.

When He Miao walked in, He Chen happened to hear the commotion and turned around. With this movement, his already blurry face immediately hid in the shadows.

“Congratulations to my precious daughter, the product launch was a great success.” He Chen’s tone was calm as he congratulated her.

He Miao walked to her father’s side with a smile, turned on the hanging light in the room, and asked in surprise, “Why didn’t you turn on the lights?”

“After so many years of being used to thinking alone in the dark, when you can’t see, your memories will become particularly clear.” He Chen looked up at her face, which resembled Ye Ning’s, and his heart was filled with nostalgia and comfort.

He Miao smiled and sat on the chair beside him. she took his hand and said, “Is daddy missing mommy?”

“Yes, your mother was once bullied in a competition, but she has a sharp tongue. No one could criticize her, and in the end, they were all rendered speechless by her.” At the mention of the past, He Chen shook his head in amusement. “I didn’t think that something like this would happen to you again.”

“Dad saw the live broadcast.” He Miao sighed and comforted him, “He Wei’s speech this time won’t cause me any harm. On the contrary, it will make many people dislike her style of doing things. It doesn’t matter to me.”

“No,” he said. He Chen stared at her with a dark expression and said, “The reason why He Wei can target you so arrogantly is because of He Feng’s indulgence and the entire He family’s disregard for you. That’s why I want to reveal your identity as soon as possible and let everyone know that you’re my daughter. However, I don’t know if this is your wish. If you have any thoughts, feel free to say them. I won’t ignore your thoughts.”

He Miao did want to reject him, but just as she was thinking about how to reject him, she heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that He Chen was willing to listen to her thoughts. “Dad, I don’t think it’s the best time to reveal my identity yet.”

“Why do you say that?” He Chen did not look at her in confusion.

In his opinion, the He family led by He Feng would not be of any help to her. Instead, it would become a stain on her reputation at some point in the future, just like He Wei’s arrogant attitude this time. She was clearly saying that He Miao was not well-liked by the family.

If they wanted to, they could use He Miao’s severing of contact with her family as an excuse at any time to pour dirty water on her and make her fall into a state of condemnation. The most taboo for a future company brand’s founder was to be tainted by feelings and filial piety. Once tainted, it would cause a rebellion in the customers’ minds, and she would easily suffer the backlash of her popularity.

Therefore, the earlier He Chen revealed He Miao’s identity, the less valid the reason He Feng and the others could use to criticize He Miao. By then, even if they tried to drag He Miao down with them, the netizens would probably not believe them.

He Miao understood this point, which was why she wanted to reveal her identity later. She had a feeling that there was more to this than meets the eye.

Seeing her father’s confusion, He Miao patiently told him what Jing Yan had done that night. She also mentioned that He Wei was in the hospital, and her voice was filled with unconcealed worry. “I don’t know how the investigation is going. I’m very worried about Jing Yan.”

When He Chen heard this, he was all smiles. Knowing how protective his future son-in-law was of his daughter, he was naturally comforted. Now that he saw his daughter’s worried look, he immediately laughed heartily. “It’s nothing. the Jing family is very powerful and can cover up such a small matter. But there is one person you need to be careful of.”

“Who is it?” He Miao asked with a frown, feeling more and more uneasy.

He Chen’s gaze turned cold in an instant. “Ren Zhong.”
