YM778.TV Chapter 269 - 269 Missed
In the past two years, apart from the first time he had looked at her in surprise, he had never looked at her in the eye and had always ignored her.
If that was all, she would have accepted it. However, He Miao had suddenly appeared and easily stole all his gaze and gentleness. How could she accept this!
Yeh Luo bit her lower lip so hard so that she would not shed a single tear. She raised her head arrogantly and looked at He Miao, her eyes full of provocation. “Uncle He, I’ll take my leave first. Oh, I’ll come to you again tonight and let you try the fragrance from the flowers I made myself.”
!!
After she finished speaking, she did not expect He Chen to react to her words and walked out of the venue in despair.
He Miao put down her cup awkwardly and looked in the direction that Yeh Luo had left. “Is that lady Uncle He’s daughter?”
He Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and shook his head gently. “I don’t have a family, and I don’t have a daughter. I’m just a cripple who has lost both legs.”
He Miao looked in surprise at the man in front of her who had such a strong aura. She did not expect a man who had once been all-powerful to say such words. He could not help but correct him, “Although you’ve lost your legs, your ability and experience in managing the entire He family will not be taken away by anyone. So, even if you can only live in a wheelchair, your achievements will never be confined to a small wheelchair.”
He Chen did not expect her to say something like that. He was stunned for a moment before the smile in his eyes gradually turned into anticipation. “Do you really think that way?”
Back then, it was because his legs were taken away by an accident that he had to bear the pain and give up his love, watching He Miao’s mother get married and have children with someone else.
He did not want to hold Ye Ning back, but he did not expect that He Miao would suddenly say this to her after more than 20 years.
If Ye Ning had thought the same at that time… Did that mean that he had let her down without realizing it?
If Ye Ning had the same thoughts as He Miao, did he miss the chance to grow old with her because of his inferiority complex?
He Miao could see the anticipation and heartache in his eyes, and could roughly guess what had happened back then. As he sighed, she also had a vague guess. She nodded lightly and said, “That’s what I really think. Uncle He, it’s getting late. I’ll be leaving.”
“Wait!” He Chen could not help but call out to her. However, he did not know what to say when he opened his mouth. He could only look down at the glass of milk that she had finished and smile bitterly. “Where do you live now? I’ll send you more milk.”
Ye Ning used to like this milk as well. He Miao was indeed her child, even her taste was the same as hers.
Jing Yan watched coldly from the side for a long time, and he could not help but not interrupt. He suddenly stood in front of He Miao, frowned, and refused, “He Miao is living with me now. Whatever she likes, I will buy it for her. There’s no need for you to spend money. I’ll be leaving first.”
He watched as the two of them left hand in hand until they could no longer be seen. He Chen then slowly retracted his gaze and shook his head with a bitter smile. “Do you think I really missed her back then because I couldn’t think things through?”
The butler’s heart ached for his master, who had suffered for more than twenty years. He could not help but advise, “Don’t think too much. Although Miss Ye Ning is no longer here, her daughter is still here. If you can’t let go of her, why don’t you treat Miss He as your own daughter? I heard that He Feng publicly announced that he’s cutting off all ties with her.”
“What’s going on?” He Chen, who was immersed in his grief, suddenly had a flash of sternness in his eyes. His brows furrowed slightly as he desperately wanted to know everything about He Miao.
The butler sighed and told him what he had heard. “I heard that Miss He Miao was sent to the countryside by the He family because of an unknown fortune-teller when she was very young. She was only brought back from the countryside not long ago. A few days ago, many people saw He Feng publicly announce that he wanted to disown Miss He. This incident caused a lot of commotion on the internet and has had bad publicity on Miss He.”
After all, He Miao was a public figure now. After a few hot searches, many people could recognize her face.
No matter what the truth was, the netizens’ first reaction was that He Miao was unfilial when her biological father publicly announced that he wanted to sever ties with her. Then, they thought about He Miao’s rising career and could not help but secretly guess that it was because of He Miao’s popularity on the internet that she had the confidence to disobey her elders.
There were even people who said that He Miao had become extremely arrogant ever since she became famous, and that even her official account had not been updated for a long time. Little did they know that all this was just people who were jealous of He Miao and were secretly slandering her.
He Chen listened quietly, but his eyes burned with anger. He narrowed his eyes dangerously and said, “How dare He Feng treat the daughter that he gave birth to with so much effort like this? I’ll make him pay for his mistakes!”
