Chapter: 2878
“Yes,” Han Meiqing said with a smile. “I just had a meal with some friends from the senior college.”
At that moment, He Yuanjiang, who had his back to her, turned around. When he saw Han Meiqing dressed elegantly, he was pleasantly surprised. “Meiqing, you’re here too!” he exclaimed.
Han Meiqing smiled back in surprise. “Oh, old He, what brings you here?”
She then pointed at Charlie Wade and asked, “Do you know Charlie Wade?”
Charlie quickly stepped in, smiling. “Auntie Han, a friend of mine is starting a new business and invited Professor He for dinner. I didn’t expect to see him here.”
He Yuanjiang understood that Charlie wanted to keep his true identity a secret, so he played along. “Yes, Meiqing, I was surprised to see Charlie Wade just now. What a coincidence!”
Han Meiqing nodded, not suspicious at all. “It is a coincidence. I was just thinking about calling you to discuss college training for seniors. Are you busy with teaching lately?”
He Yuanjiang quickly replied, “No, no! No matter how busy I am, I can always find time to help our senior college students improve their studies.”
He Zhiqiu, standing nearby, was surprised by her father’s enthusiasm. She had always thought he was indifferent to life and worried he would never find a partner. But seeing him so engaged with Han Meiqing made her realize that her father could also have moments of joy and excitement.
He Zhiqiu couldn’t help but glance at Han Meiqing several times, sighing to herself, “This aunt is so beautiful and has such a great presence. I’ve never seen anyone like her among older people. Dad really has great taste…”
Han Meiqing noticed the young girl staring at her and decided to take a look back. When she saw the girl’s eyebrows, which reminded her of He Yuanjiang, she asked, “Oh, Old He, is this your daughter?”
He Yuanjiang suddenly remembered that he hadn’t introduced his daughter to Han Meiqing yet. He quickly said, “Meiqing, let me introduce you to my rebellious little girl, He Zhiqiu.”
“Oh!” Han Meiqing exclaimed. “She really is your daughter! She’s so beautiful!”
He Zhiqiu smiled and replied, “Auntie, you’re too kind.”
Then, He Yuanjiang continued, “Zhiqiu, this is Aunt Han Meiqing. She just returned from the United States, where she lived for a long time.”
“Really?” Zhiqiu’s eyes brightened at this news. She didn’t think much of the idea of returning from the U.S., but she felt that her dad and this aunt must have a lot in common.
Han Meiqing nodded and shared, “I went to the United States after graduating from college. After my husband passed away a while ago, I came back to Jinling to settle down with my son.”
Hearing this, He Zhiqiu sighed and said, “Oh, Aunt Han, you and my dad are in very similar situations. Even the timing of your travels is the same. I believe you two must have a lot to talk about.”
