Yao Huiqin gripped the bag in his hand tightly, got out of the car, and entered the teahouse. When he arrived at the private room, Ding Han was already there.
"Old Madam Huo." Ding Han stood up and greeted her.
Yao Huiqin saw this face that was almost identical to Jian Xi's. Even though he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions. However, he was someone who had seen the world after all. Yao Huiqin was still very calm on the surface. "Miss Ding, I took the liberty to ask you to meet. I hope I'm not disturbing you?"
Ding Han gently tugged at the corner of her lips. Because she was usually more serious, this smile seemed a little stiff. "It's the weekend today. I happen to have some time now."
The two of them sat down. Yao Huiqin clearly had a lot to say, but when he saw Ding Han, he remembered all the things she had done to Jian Xi in the past. His throat instantly felt as if it was stuck and he couldn't say a word.
In the silence, Ding Han skillfully placed the warm utensils, poured the tea, brewed the tea, and finally placed a small cup of tea in front of Yao Huiqin. "Please have some tea."
This scene was too familiar. Yao Huiqin's heart felt as if it was being pulled hard by someone. His gaze landed on Ding Han's hand and didn't leave.
Ding Han said, "Miss Tang has already told me that you miss your deceased eldest daughter-in-law too much. Also, I look very similar to your daughter-in-law, so you wanted to meet me."
Yao Huiqin nodded. "Similar, really similar."
Ding Han's lips curled up slightly.
Yao Huiqin said, "Even your smiles are exactly the same."
Ding Han's smile stiffened slightly. "It seems that Old Madam and your daughter-in-law have a very good relationship. Your daughter-in-law has left, but you still miss her so much."
Yao Huiqin felt a dull pain in his heart. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I'm worried because I feel guilty. Xiao Xi is a gentle and kind woman, but I've always looked down on her and opposed her in every way. In the end … it led to such a tragedy …"
Tears welled up in Yao Huiqin's eyes, so he stopped talking. He lowered his head to pick up the tea and took a sip. Then, he frowned slightly and nodded. "It tastes good. Does Miss Ding like tea?"
Ding Han shook her head and said honestly, "I don't like drinking tea."
"But your tea-making skills don't seem like a novice's. It's impossible to make tea with such a taste without three to five years of practice. Moreover, I just noticed that your tea-making skills are very proficient."
Ding Han looked at her hands in confusion. Then, she picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea. It was fragrant and sweet. It tasted really good.
Ding Han frowned in disbelief. "I went abroad 20 years ago. I only drink coffee and never tea. I didn't know that the tea I made would taste so good."
"You've been staying abroad?"
"Yes."
"Then when did you come back?"
"At the end of last year."
"Where's your hometown?"
"Fan City."
Yao Huiqin looked surprised. She was actually from Fan City too. "What's your father's name?"
"Ding Zhumin. But we've already broken off our father-daughter relationship."
"Why did you break it off?"
"Well …" Ding Han looked troubled.
Yao Huiqin realized that he had asked too much. "It's really not appropriate. I asked too much."
Ding Han shook her head and picked up the teacup to drink.
Yao Huiqin continued, "To tell you the truth, my daughter-in-law died in a plane crash. However, her body wasn't found at the time. I always had a glimmer of hope that she might still be alive, so I couldn't help but ask a few more questions."
