The next morning, when Lu Jia'er got up and came downstairs, she saw a beautiful lady sitting in the dining room with Jin Shengping .

That lady had short hair . Just a view of her graceful figure from the back would make many women jealous . At the moment, she was sitting in a chair making a phone call . Her voice was not loud, but she was saying something in English very quickly . She seemed to be discussing a paper on biology .

Jin Xiangdong had just finished working out . He was sweating on his forehead and his cotton T-s.h.i.+rt was soaked in some places . He saw Lu Jia'er standing on the staircase . “You are up!” He grinned .

Lu Jia'er smiled at him . Jin Shengping and that lady turned around at his voice . Lu Jia'er was able to see that lady clearly .

That lady had similar facial features with Jin Xiangdong . One look and Jin Xiangdong could tell that she was Jin Xiangdong's sister—Jin Xianglan .

“I will head up stairs and take a shower . Be back down in a bit!” Jin Xiangdong said and patted Lu Jia'er's arm .

Lu Jia'er nodded . Then, she walked to the dining room gracefully, “Good morning, Mr . Jin! Good morning, Professor Jin!”

“Good morning!” Jin Shengping greeted her with a smile .

Jin Xianglan, who was still on her phone, cast her glance at Lu Jia'er's face . Though Jin Xianglan could not introduce herself just yet, she waved to Lu Jia'er as a greeting with a smile .

Lu Jia'er pulled out a chair for herself and sat down . Jin Xianglan finished her call as well . She turned to Lu Jia'er who was sitting across from her . “It's Lu, right? I am Jin Xiangdong's big sister, Jin Xianglan! Nice to see you!”

Jin Xianglan's temperament was similar to Jin Xiangdong . Both had a cold demeanor . However, at the moment, Jin Xianglan was speaking to Lu Jia'er quite warmly .

Lu Jia'er smiled . “Likewise . Xiangdong talks about you often . I'm glad I finally have the chance to meet you in person!”

“Oh, my brother talks about me to you often?” Jin Xianglan asked with a smile .

“Yes, he said that you are his role model and that you have been taking good care of him since he was a kid . ” Lu Jia'er smiled .

Jin Xianglan laughed at this comment . “I see that he has a conscience . Dig in! Don't wait for him!”

Lu Jia'er answered with a smile . She picked up her chopsticks, a bowl of porridge and thus started her breakfast .

Judging from the breakfast dishes on the table, Lu Jia'er could tell that the Jin family still stuck to their Chinese dining habits . There were pickled cowpea, shredded potatoes with vinegar sauce, green vegetables, lotus root slices, deep-fried dough sticks, and egg rolls with scallion which she liked .

However, the air seemed to be a bit depressing . Jin Shengping and Jin Xianglan were not conversing . They just ate their breakfast silently . Lu Jia'er felt there was a barrier between them .

So, she found a topic to break the silence . “Professor Jin, when did you get in last night?”

Lu Jia'er did not sleep until 1:30 last night . Before that, she did not hear anything downstairs .

“I drove here this morning! Xiangdong did not tell us in advance that he was coming back . I have to go on a business trip this afternoon . So, I can only come here first thing in the morning and have breakfast with him!” Jin Xiangdong explained .

Lu Jia'er smiled . “You and your brother are so close!”

Jin Shengping, who was sitting on the top seat, interrupted, “Most of the time, they are close . But they do give each other the silent treatment sometimes!”

Lu Jia'er was curious . “Silent treatment? Why would they do that?”

“Of course, the involved parties would have more accurate answers to this question!” Jin Shengping looked at Jin Xianglan with a smile .

Jin Xianglan's answer was two words, “Academic exchange!”

Lu Jia'er was surprised . “Academic exchange?”

“When we were kids, we would have different views on certain academic topics . We both thought that the other person was wrong! Then, we would argue with each other, trying to convince the other person to accept our own views . However, every time, things would go contrary to our wishes and we would end up not talking for a few days . ” Jin Xianglan laughed .

From Jin Xianglan's words, Lu Jia'er could tell how smart Jin Xiangdong was when he was little . Both of Jin Shengping's children were outstanding performers in their respective industries . How intelligent they must be! Jin Xianglan was five years older than Jin Xiangdong . In theory, her knowledge must be more extensive than Jin Xiangdong's . However, Jin Xiangdong could argue with her . How bright of a young man he must have been at that age .

The desire to gossip was surging high now that she knew one fun anecdote from Jin Xiangdong's childhood . “I didn't know that Jin Xiangdong had such a childish side!” Lu Jia'er said with a smile .

“Not just childis.h.!.+ He knows how to make a scene!” Jin Xianglan could not stop laughing .

Lu Jia'er had profound understanding at this point because she had fallen victim to that .

Right at that moment, Jin Xiangdong's voice arrived . “Sister, I heard that!”

Lu Jia'er looked at him . Jin Xiangdong had changed into a white sportswear and was walking towards them in a cla.s.sically handsome way .

“So what? Do you want to deny it?” Jin Xianglan made fun of him .

Jin Xiangdong pulled over a chair and sat next to Lu Jia'er before he retorted, “I will always turn a deaf ear to untrue things . ”

“Now, this here, is being unreasonable!” Jin Xianglan said .

Jin Xiangdong grinned . “Sister, last night, Father already sold me out in front of Jia'er . Today, please show mercy so that I can still have some face in front of my girlfriend!”

Jin Xianglan grinned . “I can show mercy, but only for a price!”

“Name it!” Jin Xiangdong answered readily .

“Chauffeur me around this morning . ” Jin Xianglan said .

“No problem . ” Jin Xiangdong accepted .

Jin Xianglan smiled with satisfaction and said to Lu Jia'er, “Lu Jia'er, may I borrow your boyfriend for half a day to be my chauffeur?”

Lu Jia'er felt a bit shy that Jin Xianglan was asking for her permission . The former turned to Jin Xiangdong and nodded slowly, “Sure!”

After breakfast, Jin Xiangdong and Jin Xianglan left together and Lu Jia'er and Jin Shengping saw them out .

Before Jin Xiangdong got into the car, he did not forget to give Lu Jia'er a kiss and a hug .

Jin Xianglan, who was in the car, and Jin Shengping, who was standing by the door with his crutch, were attracted by this couple . However, some strange glow flashed past both of their eyes .

“Wait for me to come back!” Having finished the kiss, Jin Xiangdong stroked the hair at the back of Lu Jia'er's head .

Lu Jia'er did not forget to tell him, “Be careful out there . ”

Naturally, Jin Xiangdong knew what Lu Jia'er was referring to . He nodded as a promise .
