Chapter: 996

Unexpectedly, Paul immediately laughed and said, "Oh yeah! I'm a big fan of drinking tea. Since Uncle Xiao has good tea leaves here, I definitely have to try some!"

Ye Chen's eyes widened slightly, then he smiled and said, "Well, since you understand tea leaves, I think you might be disappointed."

As he spoke, he invited Paul to sit down on the sofa with him, ready to brew some tea.

Xiao Chu didn't feel like chatting with his daughter's boyfriend, so he told the two men, "You guys chat, I'm not too fond of drinking tea and I have a headache, so I'll go rest for a bit, sorry."

Paul quickly stood up and politely said, "Okay, Mrs. Xiao, you rest first."

Xiao Chu went upstairs to rest, and Ye Chen turned to Paul and said, "Sit down already, don't just stand there chatting."

After sitting down, Paul looked at the Hainan yellow rosewood sofa beneath him and exclaimed in surprise, "This sofa material is really excellent! It's clear it's made from Hainan yellow wood, and it has a good patina, and when you polish it, the grain looks particularly nice, great stuff!"

Ye Chen was taken aback; he hadn't expected Paul to be so thoroughly Chinese.

He spoke fluent Mandarin, knew tea, knew wood, and even understood polishing; what's more, this guy must have another half of American blood that isn't fake?

Moreover, his hobby is just like his father-in-law's - how come?

Paul shook his head, smiling as he said: "I've only been to China occasionally for business trips, but each time didn't exceed a week."

Ye Chen looked puzzled and asked: "Then how do you know so much about tea leaves, Chinese furniture, and wood?"

Paul laughed and said: "It's mainly because my mom likes these things. I was exposed to them from a young age under her influence."

As he spoke, Paul added: "Don't look at me like I'm a mixed-blooded person who looks more like a Westerner, but in fact, my bones are purely those of an ethnic Han Chinese person. I was greatly influenced by my mother, especially fond of Chinese culture, Chinese food, and Chinese customs."

"Ah, so that's the case."

Ye Chen nodded his head, brewing water on the tea table as he started to prepare the tea, while letting someone else get scammed into buying tea leaves online through WeChat.

As he poured the tea, Ye Chen gave Paul and himself separate cups, smiling at Paul and saying, "Come, taste my old master's tea."

Paul nodded his head in appreciation, then picked up the cup and put it to his lips, taking a small sip.

Immediately, his expression became somewhat strange.

After carefully savoring it for a while, he embarrassingly said, "Xiao Uncle drinks tea with a very peculiar taste. Honestly, I don't sense anything good about this tea leaf, so why does Xiao Uncle regard it as a precious tea?"

Ye Chen thought to himself that Paul was indeed quite perceptive, much stronger than his old master.

His own silly old master had been drinking this kind of tea all along, not only failing to discover its problems but also thinking it got better the more he drank.

If it weren't for him holding him back, he would have definitely gone back to that WeChat seller and bought some more.

So he smiled at Paul and said, "This tea leaf was bought by my old master from a scammer on WeChat. A lot of money was spent, but it's indeed not something good."

Paul also understood the situation, slightly nodding his head and smiling as he said to Ye Chen, "I have someone entrusted with me who buys extremely high-quality Jin Jun Mei tea from the southern regions. Next time, I'll bring some for Mr. Ye and Xiao Uncle to try. That tea leaf is really very good - it's a top-level gold-needle tea master who personally selects and roasts the tea." JrNovels.com
