Han Zheng smiled contentedly.
Since he had decided not to interfere with their matters anymore, there was nothing to be sad about.
Besides, it gave him another good reason to separate the family.
Han Muyang fully supported Han Zheng’s decision.
Although Han Muchuan and Han Mi both looked down on him, thinking he was not as intelligent as they were and somewhat foolish, he truly regarded them as family.
He wished them happiness.
In the kitchen, Meng Chuyue was teaching Shen Ci how to make milk tea.
Shen Ci had always thought milk tea was just a mix of milk, sugar, and tea leaves.
Now he realized it could also include red beans, coconut jelly, tapioca pearls, sago, tortoise jelly, grass jelly, and taro balls...
And the taste was significantly improved by these additions.
As he helped according to Meng Chuyue’s instructions, he asked with a smile, "So milk tea can also be made this way? I thought the kind we bought downstairs was already the best."
"Yes, those are cheaper, and we think introducing new products gradually helps keep them appealing to customers."
In fact, the most important reason for not launching everything at once... was to increase the difficulty for those who might want to copy the idea.
Shen Ci, who had a particularly good business sense, immediately grasped this concept and gave Meng Chuyue a thumbs-up.
Soon, the milk tea and its toppings were ready.
Meng Chuyue did not put all the toppings, which numbered as many as ten, directly into the milk tea. Instead, she served them in small porcelain bowls, which she and Shen Ci brought out to Han Zheng and Han Muyang.
"These are toppings for the milk tea; you can add them into your drink to taste. Try adding a small amount first to check the flavor, then pick the ones you like."
Han Zheng and Han Muyang were also amazed by this array.
However, both loved sweets and soon were just eating.
Afraid they might eat too much and not have room for dinner later, Meng Chuyue had brought out only a small quantity. The father and son finished a glass of milk tea and all the toppings in no time.
Then they looked at each other.
It was slightly awkward.
Fortunately, neither Shen Ci nor Meng Chuyue thought their actions rude, and they immediately began serving the dishes.
Ten dishes were placed on the table, and Meng Chuyue urged everyone to start eating while she went downstairs to call Zhao Xiaoxin.
Zhao Xiaoxin did not know that Han Zheng was a wealthy tycoon, nor did she know that he was Meng Chuyue’s biological father.
Learning that he was Han Muyang’s father, she showed respect, but nothing more.
She did not pay much attention, made herself some food, and then took her meal downstairs to continue working.
Everyone thought, "She really is a straightforward girl."
After the meal, Shen Ci tapped on Han Muyang’s shoulder, "Go check the classroom."
Han Muyang didn’t think much and cheerfully left.
Shen Ci immediately grabbed the dishes and headed to the kitchen, "I’ll wash the dishes."
He was giving Han Zheng and Meng Chuyue a chance to talk alone.
He really wanted to find fault with Shen Ci, but honestly... he couldn’t find any.
Well, time was limited, and he shouldn’t focus his attention on Shen Ci.
He looked gently at Meng Chuyue, "Yueyue, do you hate me and your mother?"
Meng Chuyue shook her head, "No hate. There’s nothing to hate. But I will definitely not acknowledge Zhao Sulan. What about you? If Zhao Sulan approaches you one day, how will you treat her?"
Although he didn’t want to discuss Zhao Sulan, it was inevitably unavoidable.
Han Zheng shook his head, "I absolutely won’t deal with her."
"What if she insists on bothering us?"
How to deal with Zhao Sulan... was the biggest challenge they had to face after acknowledging their father-daughter relationship.
Han Zheng shook his head, "There are no ifs. Unless you want to acknowledge her, I won’t say a half word to her."
Han Zheng knew the harm Zhao Sulan had caused Meng Chuyue in his previous life.
This was why Meng Chuyue was sensible; if it were someone with an extreme personality, like Lin Fangwei, they wouldn’t just refuse to acknowledge Zhao Sulan—they might even seek revenge.
