Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Jia'er was at the Jin's residence again . Jin Shengping and Jin Xianglan were here and they were just as hospitable towards her as before . On the surface, everything was the same . On the other hand, they were looking at her with different eyes, with judgment and curiosity .
Everyone took seats in the living room and Jin Xianglan poured Lu Jia'er some juice .
Lu Jia'er, who was a bit nervous, took a sip and put the gla.s.s down . She then looked up at Jin Shengping and Jin Xianglan who were checking her up and down and said, “Mr . Jin, Professor Jin, my ident.i.ty must have come as a shock to you . ”
“To some extent!” Jin Shengping admitted it .
“I am sorry to have frightened you . ” Lu Jia'er apologized .
Jin Shengping gazed at her . “But I am curious . Can you read people's minds like Xiangdong mentioned?”
“Yes!” Lu Jia'er nodded .
“Then tell me what I was thinking,” Jin Shengping asked .
Looking at Jin Shengping, Lu Jia'er said slowly, “Mr . Jin, there is nothing on your mind . ”
A smile climbed to Jin Shengping's face . He appeared to be approachable and kind . Yet, in his eyes, there was something unfathomable .
Having sensed this, Lu Jia'er asked, “Mr . Jin, you don't seem to believe me, do you?”
Jin Shengping waved his hand . “I do believe you . Yes, just now, there was nothing on my mind . ”
Then, Lu Jia'er turned to Jin Xianglan . “Professor Jin, your mind is settled as still water as well . However, when I was conversing with Mr . Jin, you were wondering whether my brain was put into a machine or if a chip was implanted in me . ”
Jin Xianglan laughed . “So I see that you can read people's minds . ”
“As for your question, the answer is that a chip is implanted in my body . ” Lu Jia'er went on .
“I am looking forward to your physical exam tomorrow!” Jin Xianglan was excited about this . “I heard that you can perform hypnosis?” She continued .
“Yes, if you want to give it a go, I can demonstrate it for you . ” Lu Jia'er proposed .
Jin Xianglan shook her head . “It is not necessary . I believe you!”
Lu Jia'er was surprised that Jin Xianglan would reject it so readily . “Professor Jin, you are unwilling to be hypnotized?”
Jin Xianglan nodded . “A little bit . ”
Lu Jia'er looked at Jin Xianglan and nodded . “That is natural . Usually, people are resistant to being hypnotized . But don't worry . You are the type of person that can only be hypnotized in very specific situations . ”
Jin Xianglan was startled . “Did you just… hypnotize me?”
“I tried to but failed . I am sorry!” Lu Jia'er took the initiative to apologize to Jin Xianglan .
Jin Xianglan was alarmed which merely lasted for a brief moment but that did not escape Lu Jia'er's attention . “Now, do you find me terrifying?” Lu Jia'er probed .
Hearing this, Jin Xianglan let her guard down . “I would be lying if I said no . ”
Lu Jia'er smiled since Jin Xianglan was being sincere . “I have to apologize to Mr . Jin . Last time when I was here, I hypnotized the nanny and erased a small part of her memory . If it is possible, I want to apologize to her in person!”
Lu Jia'er told Jin Shengping about the incident last time . His eyes flickered . Then, he said calmly, “It is dreadful to perform hypnosis without approval . However, to avoid new problems cropping up unexpectedly, we will be the only informed ones . Let's stop it there!”
Lu Jia'er nodded . Indeed, she wouldn't want to deliberately create new problems . That being said, she had some suspicions . The Jin family had been too calm with her ident.i.ty . She found their calmness unbelievable and she could not help but have second thoughts .
