Then Lu Jia’er heard all kinds of overlapping voices, and everyone’s focus was concentrated on Jin Xiangdong and her. Jason felt smuggest because Jin Xiangdong’s move made him less likely to be bothered about a potential forced marriage by his parents.
In fact, the act of helping people pick up food is normal at a Chinese table. However, everyone here had always had the impression that Jin Xiangdong was cold. It was the first time that he was seen being so warm-hearted to a girl, so everyone easily thought a lot about the simple action.
“Academician Jin, it seems that you will be returning to China often in the future, even without invitation!” The oldest Academician Zheng smiled and joked.
“I have you as my old friends. I will definitely, of my own accord, come back and pay a visit to you more often!” Jin Shengping smiled and said.
“I was not talking about your friendship with us, but about the affection between your son and you!” Academician Zheng thought that Jin Shengping had missed his intentions, so he rephrased it with a smile.
“Young people should have their own world. We should not bind them with piety. If family was really the only consideration, I would not have approved of his moving the company from the United States to B City.” On hearing the remarks, Jin Shengping looked at Jin Xiangdong.
“You were still not getting it!” Academician Zheng smiled.
“I get it. I get it. I will come back more often and drink tea and play chess with you in the future.” Jin Shengping smiled and said.
The dialogue between the two stopped. Although it was not bluntly pointed out, everyone actually knew it. This was a kind of care from Jin Shengping for his son’s seedling of love. Everyone at the table were personages in their own domain within the world of science, and they were also well cultured. So even if they had seen through many matters, they would not point them out bluntly. As Jin Shengping said, young people have their own world. Even if they were elders, they should not interfere.
Lu Jia’er cast a glance at Jin Xiangdong, who was not affected at all by these conversations. It seemed almost as though the topics they discussed had nothing to do with him.
He appeared so calm in a way that only he could do. As far as Lu Jia’er herself was concerned, she heard the dialogue between Jin Shengping and others, and it felt like an ugly wife meets her in-laws.
She could hear the inner thoughts of everyone else at the table except that of Jin Xiangdong. It was undoubtedly special, novel, and worrying.
Jason really envied Jin Xiangdong whose father had an attitude of not interfering with his children’s affairs, as a result he boldly began, “Father and mother, you should learn more from Uncle Jin. Your son has grown up and has his own world! Please be less concerned about him!”
However, Jason felt deeply regretted giving these remarks after a few minutes, because comparisons are odious.
“Get married soon! Then we can be less concerned!” Li Lin came straight to the point.
“Besides marriage, there are other things in life, such as my career!” Jason argued.
“Do you mean that if you get married, the company can’t operate normally?” Li Lin asked.
Jason winked at Jin Xiangdong who was next to him for help, but someone was apathetic to his circumstances.
Therefore, Jason could only help himself. “I can’t promise you that, and if you want to get married, you must have a date first. You are pushing me so hard, aren’t you afraid that I will just make do with some random girl from the street?”
“No, we are not!” facing that Jason was portraying himself as hopeless, Li Lin replied.
Jason was pushed relentlessly by his parents on the spot to get married soon. So depressed was he that he almost wanted to get under the table. On seeing this, Lu Jia’er couldn’t help chuckling. The three of the Yan family were really interesting. No wonder that Jason was so funny. It turned out to be genetic.
