Chapter 139: Visiting to Apologize
Han Jiaojiao managed a strained smile.
Han Yi brought out the tea set and brewed a pot of Longjing Tea.
"Why did you come here, it’s so hot, and with your health, anything you needed could have just been conveyed to me."
"My health has improved a lot, when you get older, you always have this illness or that, nothing too serious," Duan Shuhua said with a smile, sitting in front of the coffee table with the affection of an elder on her face, "And I wanted to see where you live for myself."
Han Yi’s expression softened, "I haven’t finished setting everything up yet, it’s still messy everywhere."
"I think it’s quite nice here," Duan Shuhua said calmly, her speech neither hasty nor sluggish, "Ever since you were little, you have been a child who gives others peace of mind. Neither Han Rui nor Han Yi is as capable as you. Now seeing you taking good care of yourself and the people around you, I am also happy for you."
As Duan Shuhua talked with Han Yi, Han Jiaojiao sat by Han Yi’s side, silently sizing her up.
This was her first time meeting Qin Nanyi’s mother, perhaps she had seen her when she was a child, but she had long since forgotten.
It must be said, Qin Nanyi’s mother was beautiful. Not like those wealthy women who adorn themselves in rich, ostentatious makeup, Duan Shuhua’s makeup was refined and natural, carrying a unique charm of somebody in middle age, serene and gentle, detached and peaceful.
In fact, a large part of the reason why Qin Nanyi was so sought after was due to her well-known mother. Duan Shuhua was an outstanding domestic researcher, her academic papers had a far-reaching influence both at home and abroad, and intellectuals are always esteemed. If it was said Qin Nanyi was the daughter of a provincial governor, it might seem somewhat worldly, chasing after power, but to say Qin Nanyi was Professor Duan’s daughter added to her the purity of a scholar.
