Chapter 173: Suspicious Of The Tuition Teacher’s Motives

Huo Jinyan touched his chin. It was a mystery.

Song Ning turned around and saw him in deep thought. She could not help tapping his shoulder and asking him. “Jinyan?”

Huo Jinyan turned to look at his daughter and wanted to ask about her tuition teacher, but was worried that she would misunderstand his intentions.

So he changed his mind and said, “Your mother is right. We should seriously treat your tuition teacher to dinner.”

Huo Yao waved her hand and nodded patronizingly. Then she helped to carry the fruit into their estate.

The three of them went upstairs.

After reaching home, Huo Yao handed her father the tea which Min Yu had given her. She said, “For you.”

The tea had been packaged in a beautiful paper bag. Huo Jinyan asked as he removed it from the bag. “What’s this?”

“Tea,” replied Huo Yao before walking to the refrigerator to put the fruit inside.

Huo Jinyan recalled his daughter asking him whether he wanted Da Hong Pao. He instantly raised his brow and beamed as he opened the packaging completely and said, “My daughter is the best. Did you get me...”

Before he finished the word ‘tea’, his voice immediately stopped as though someone had hit a pause button.

Since Huo Jinyan was a tea lover and collector, he could tell at a glance that the tea in the box was a collectors’ item.

The special airtight seal alone cost a bomb. Moreover, there was an old, yellowed label on the box. This tea must be very rare.

Huo Jinyan gulped. He suddenly did not dare to open the box.

Huo Yao came out of the kitchen to see her old man holding the box with a strange expression on his face, so she could not help asking him. “Dad, what’s wrong?”

Huo Jinyan raised his head to look at his daughter. Then he pointed at the box of tea and said, “This tea...”

“Hmm?” asked Huo Yao as she walked closer and looked at the tea in his hands.

“What’s wrong with the tea?”

Huo Jinyan noticed how calm his daughter was, as though they were talking about some ordinary tea here. He touched his nose and asked softly. “Where did you buy it from?”

“I didn’t buy it. My friend gave it to me.”

Huo Jinyan instantly recalled the owner of the car with a special license plate who sent her back tonight. “Did your tuition teacher give it to you?”

“Mhm,” said Huo Yao right away.

Then she paused and said, “He was the one who gave me the Longjing too.”

Huo Jinyan was stunned. “But wait. Didn’t he used to give you tuition? Why would he give you such good tea?”

It made sense if a student gave gifts to her teacher, but it seemed inconceivable for a teacher to give his student such expensive tea as a gift.

Huo Yao was a little confused.

She knew very little about tea and its prices. She had merely accepted Min Yu’s offer since her father liked drinking it.

After Huo Yao gathered her thoughts, she replied indifferently. “He might have liked the handmade sandalwood incense that I gave him.”

After all, her incense sticks were priceless!

Huo Jinyan’s lips twitched violently upon hearing his daughter’s response. No matter how good her sandalwood incense was, it probably was not worth as much as this tea, right?

Huo Jinyan was now extremely suspicious of her tuition teacher’s true motives.
