Chapter 13 Good Father
Zheng Fa had yet to respond when a middle-aged man walked out from the estate.
“Steward Huang, what brings you here?”
The speaker, a tall, thin man who bore a seven-point resemblance to Wang Gui, was none other than Wang Gui’s father, Steward Wang of the Zhao estate. At that moment, he was eagerly gazing at the rotund middle-aged man standing beside Huang Yu.
The plump man descended the carriage with Huang Yu, nodding slightly in acknowledgment but not offering much conversation.
Huang Yu pulled him over to Zheng Fa and introduced him. “This is my father. I told him about you and said we should come visit.”
Huang Yu’s father, the middle-aged man, smiled wider as he looked at Zheng Fa, his expression noticeably warmer than before. “Young Zheng, since Huang Yu has known you for some time, may I presume to call you Nephew Zheng?”
Zheng Fa nodded, glancing at the father and son pair, unsure of their intentions.
“Huang Yu has always been somewhat unruly, and I’ve often worried about how he might manage his own affairs someday. But with a friend like you, I can rest easy.” Huang Yu’s father gestured toward the carriage. “Since he wanted to visit his friend, I thought it would be proper to bring a small gift for our first meeting.”
