It was a rather ordinary car, but it had a special serial number plate. Moreover, it was a Beijing plate. Did his daughter's tutor have a special background?
Moreover... wasn't he a tutor from his hometown? Why was he here?
Huo Jinyan touched his chin. He was puzzled.
Song Ning turned her head and saw him deep in thought. She could not help patting his shoulder. "Huo Jinyao?"
Huo Jinyan composed himself and turned to look at his daughter. He wanted to ask her about the tutor, but he was afraid that she would think too much.
Then he changed his words and said, "Your mother is right. You must treat your tutor to a meal some other day."
Huo Yao raised her hand and waved. "Uh huh." She nodded perfunctorily before walking into the estate with the fruits.
Soon, the three of them went upstairs one after the other.
Huo Yao handed the box of tea leaves to her father after they entered the house. "This is for you."
The tea leaves were delicately wrapped in a paper bag. Huo Jinyan took it out and asked her. "What is this?"
"Tea leaves," replied Huo Yao. Then she walked over to the fridge and placed the fruits inside.
Huo Jinyan recalled that his daughter had asked him if he wanted a Da Hong Pao two days ago. He instantly raised his eyebrows and smiled widely. The packaging had already been completely opened. "Aiya, my daughter is so filial. She bought it for me again …"
Before he could finish the word "tea", his voice seemed to have been paused in the next instant. It was as if someone had pressed the pause button.
Huo Jinyan was a tea lover and loved collecting tea, so he could tell that the box of tea in his hand was a valuable collectible.
The specially sealed box alone was worth a fortune. Moreover, there was an ancient yellow label on the box. The tea leaves inside must be extremely valuable.
Huo Jinyan gulped and suddenly did not dare to open the box.
Huo Yao walked out of the kitchen and saw her old man holding the box of tea leaves with a strange expression on his face. She could not help asking him quizzically. "Dad, what's wrong?"
Huo Jinyan raised his head to look at his daughter. Then he pointed at the box of tea leaves. "These tea leaves..."
"Huh?" Huo Yao walked closer and her eyes landed on the tea in his hand. "Is there something wrong with the tea?"
Huo Jinyan noticed that his daughter's expression was calm, as though the tea was just an ordinary box of tea. He touched his nose and asked softly, "Where did you buy these tea leaves?"
"I didn't buy it. It was a gift from a friend."
Huo Jinyan immediately thought of the owner of the car with the special license plate that drove his daughter home that night. "Was it your tuition teacher?"
"Yes." Huo Yao did not hide the truth. She nodded and paused before she added. "He was the one who gave me the Longjing."
Huo Jinyan was stunned when he heard that. "Wait a minute. Isn't he your tuition tutor from before? Why would he give you such an expensive tea? "
It was still acceptable for a student to give tea to a teacher, but for a teacher to give tea to a student … that was unbelievable.
Huo Yao was stunned.
She didn't know much about tea and had no idea how much it cost. When Min Yu asked, she only asked because she knew her father loved tea.
Huo Yao composed herself and said calmly, "I gave him a box of handmade sandalwood incense. Maybe he found it useful."
After all, her items were priceless.
Huo Jinyan's lips twitched when he heard his daughter's reply. Even the best sandalwood incense could not compare to the value of this box of tea.
