He Chen stood quietly at the side and watched the two of them being sweet. His expression became more and more unfriendly.

Jing Yan could not bear to anger him anymore. He walked to his side and offered him a cup of tea. “Uncle He, you have to believe that although Miaomiao is engaged to me, she is still your daughter no matter what. You are her closest relative.”

He Chen looked up at him in surprise. He reached out to take the teacup but did not drink it. He placed it on the table and smiled. “Of course 1 know that you’re a good child who’s worthy of my trust. After this incident, I’ve also seen your ability. You can take good care of Miaomiao.”

Jing Yan smiled knowingly and continued, “Uncle He, don’t worry. Even if Miaomiao marries me, I won’t stop her if she wants to come back and live with you in the future. Just treat it as having a filial son by your side and someone who will help you dote on your daughter.”

He Chen was touched by his words, and the pain in his heart was finally completely soothed. He nodded with relief and smiled. “Alright, as an elder, how can you not understand this? Hurry up and eat. Don’t be late for work and school later.”

“Alright.” Only then did Jing Yan sit down in relief and continue to nibble on the meat bun that He Miao had rewarded him with.

After dinner, the two of them walked out of the house side by side. Before they left, He Chen suddenly remembered something else and called out to him, “Jing Yan, even if the two of you are in love, you have to remember that I’m only agreeing to your engagement now, not letting you get married. You can’t hurt He Miao before she graduates. You should understand what 1 mean.”

…..

Jing Yan was slightly taken aback. After a moment, he nodded in understanding and said, “I understand, Uncle He. Even if you didn’t say it, I still planned to do so.”

This time, He Chen no longer had any doubts about the engagement between the two of them. He watched the two of them leave side by side with a melancholic expression and let out a long sigh.

Behind him, the butler walked over and covered his legs with a blanket. He said with a worried expression, “Master, did you just remember what happened between you and Miss Ye in the past?”

He Chen suddenly turned his head and glared at him gloomily. After a while, he retracted his gaze and narrowed his eyes. “Back then, 1 was impulsive. I couldn’t give Ye Ning a warm family and let her have a child first. And because of my crippled legs, I did something unforgivable. Now, 1 can only regret it for the rest of my life. Miaomiao must not follow our old path. I will never allow that to happen again!”

The butler understood the pain in his heart. It was intolerable to give up the lover he was supposed to spend the rest of his life with because of his incompetence and watch her marry someone else and have children with another man.

He Chen had endured it for more than 20 years. Although he had many expectations for Jing Yan now, he also hoped that He Miao could have a lifetime of happiness.

The butler sighed and replied with a solemn expression, “Yes, things are unpredictable. 1 hope that Miss He and Young Master Jing will have a peaceful life.”

“Definitely.” He Chen’s words were spoken very lightly, but in their hearts, they all knew how heavy the weight was.

He Chen said this because he was determined to protect He Miao’s safety and happiness for the rest of his life. It was not just useless prayers.

In the car, He Miao fastened her seatbelt before turning around to look at Jing Yan, who was holding the steering wheel with one hand, in surprise. “I thought you would bring a chauffeur with you. It’s actually the great President Jing who’s driving me personally?”

Jing Yan’s eyebrows curved up in amusement. He turned his head and reached out to tap her forehead. “That’s right. Miss He’s going to school is such an important matter. How can I let someone else do it?”

He Miao blushed slightly. She bit her lower lip lightly to suppress the throbbing in her heart and said with a smile, “By the way, you haven’t told me how the Ren family is doing now.”

The news from the police station was that Ren Wei had been temporarily detained in the police station for kidnapping, illegally imprisoning others, misguiding public opinion, and many other crimes. Ren Zhong had also hired a first-class lawyer for him according to the procedure. The case would be announced after the trial was completed.

When Jing Yan heard her ask about this, his expression darkened slightly. He said, “The Ren family is now completely in Ren Zhong’s hands. Actually, anyone with discerning eyes can see what’s going on. It’s just that Ren Wei’s mother and her family are too cowardly. After such a thing happened, they all sided with Ren Zhong. No one dared to stand up and question the truth. Once Ren Wei is sentenced, it will have nothing to do with the family business.”

He Miao listened quietly and sighed lightly. “He actually hasn’t ratted out Ren Zhong even now.”

Jing Yan sneered. He turned the steering wheel and turned into a crossroad before continuing, “Actually, Ren Wei respects his brother very much. It’s just that no one will believe what he said.”

He Miao blinked her eyes in surprise and said in disbelief, “Ren Zhong treated Ren Wei and his mother like that after his father’s death. Doesn’t Ren Wei hate him at all?”

“I don’t believe so.” Jing Yan narrowed his eyes and said calmly, “Ren Wei is not an ambitious person at all. Moreover, he always thinks that he stole what Ren Zhong should have..”
