Chapter 654: Chapter 652: Sect Reunion Dinner (Part 2)
"Hi, how are you all? Youâre Lin Wanwan, Old Kangâs little junior sister, right?" A young girl in a Hepburn-style little black dress tilted her head and greeted Lin Wanwan, "Iâm Pan Xiaolei. You can just call me Xiaolei."
"Hello Xiaolei, Iâm Lin Wanwan, you can call me Wanwan."
Lin Wanwan greeted her, while Lu Shouyue only nodded politely without speaking.
At this moment, Kang Hongjing introduced the two, "Xiaolei is my girlfriend."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanwan was somewhat surprised; these two looked almost a generation apart. She originally thought they were father and daughter! Awkward!
Kang Hongjing was a middle-aged man over forty-five with a balding Mediterranean head, though he wasnât as stereotypically stout and round as most men his age, certainly not handsome either.
But the Pan Xiaolei beside him looked quite youthful and radiant, she couldnât be more than twenty-five years old.
Hmm, such a couple was very much in line with the atmosphere of this villa.
Just now, Lin and Lu had encountered two or three similar pairs along the way.
Itâs common for wealth to bring easy changes in relationships.
This chief disciple of Liang Shi now holds a very high status in Huaxiaâs traditional medicine circles.
Though it canât be said heâs surpassed his master, he certainly hasnât tarnished Liang Shiâs reputation.
In any industry, reaching a high level means significant income, and doctors are no exception.
Todayâs a sect gathering; Kang Hongjing couldnât possibly bring a mistress or second mistress, so the person before them must be the legitimate girlfriend.
Given Kang Hongjingâs age, sheâs likely a post-divorce true love.
This was Lin Wanwanâs quick thought upon meeting the two.
"Brother Kang, nice to meet you. Iâm Lu Shouyue, Lin Wanwanâs boyfriend." Lu Shouyue slightly bowed and shook hands with Kang Hongjing sitting on the outdoor bamboo sofa.
Upon seeing the corner of the watch exposed on Lu Shouyueâs wrist, Kang Hongjing stood up, shook hands while patting his arm, "Not bad, young man, quite tall. Where did you grow up?"
Lu Shouyue laughed and replied, "Youâre too kind, Brother Kang. I opened a little shop, doing a bit of small business."
"Opening a shop is good; itâs free and gives you plenty of time." Kang Hongjing smiled and offered a comment.
From the moment he saw Lu Shouyueâs watch, Kang Hongjing mentally labeled him as a super rich second generation waiting to live off his money.
He recognized the watch but couldnât afford it. If itâs authentic, itâs more expensive than a house in Beijing.
His young girlfriend didnât have his sharp eye, merely looked sourly at the attractive pair of Lin Wanwan and Lu Shouyue.
Why is it that someone so beautiful can also be Liang Laoâs last disciple and have such a handsome boyfriend?
The world is truly unfair!
But when she thought of her boyfriendâs seven-figure annual income and his constantly praised status, her chest puffed out again.
What use is being handsome? Is anyone more impressive than my Hongjing?
Since she started dating, sheâs never had to work again. Every day is spent comfortably doing beauty treatments, going to the gym to keep fit.
On weekends, she meets her girlfriends for tea, strolls around the shops, and uses her boyfriendâs credit card freely, living without a care!
The four of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then their WeChat group kept beeping; it was a sign that Liang Shi and the others were about to arrive.
đŻđ»đđđđźđđ·đđżđđ.đđžđą
"Come, little junior sister, letâs go meet the teacher together."
"Okay."
The four of them placed their teacups down and stepped outside.
Liang Shiâs family and two other senior brothersâ families were almost there.
Lu Shouyue held Lin Wanwanâs hand as they walked behind Kang Hongjing and his partner, a slight smile on his lips.
He wasnât very interested in othersâ private affairs; the fact that Kang Hongjingâs girlfriend was a generation younger didnât pique his curiosity.
Today, his only role was as Lin Wanwanâs family member; anything else was irrelevant.
Lin Wanwan looked at the mismatched couple ahead and thought silently: men are really faithful, always loving the youthful beauty.
Thereâs no beauty that stays young forever, but thereâs always a beauty whoâs currently young.
Thinking this, she couldnât help but glance at Lu Shouyue.
Lu Shouyue immediately turned his head, met her gaze and whispered, "Wanwan, out of the vast waters, I only take a single drinking ladle."
Lin Wanwan quickly turned away, "What are you saying."
This guy, he almost seems to use Mind Reading Technique, how does he know what Iâm thinking!
Lu Shouyue smiled slightly and said no more, just gently placed Lin Wanwanâs hand on his chest, letting her feel his heartbeat.
Lin Wanwan quickly pulled away; theyâre about to see the teacher, being so "you-me-you-me" cheesy, itâs too much!
Three families got out of three cars in the villa parking lot, Liang Shi and his wife, their son Liang Jingtian and his family of three, Lin Wanwanâs two senior brothers each with their own families.
"Liang Shi, youâre here, the tea is ready. Letâs have a tea first, then let me accompany you for a game of chess." Kang Hongjing strode forward, courteously supporting Liang Shi.
Meanwhile, his young girlfriend attentively moved to assist the teacherâs wife, only to be scooped by Lin Wanwanâs quick dash.
Skillfully ingratiating, Lin Wanwan had mastered this while serving Zhangsun Empress!
"This must be the little junior sister? Iâm your Brother Liang, in cardiac surgery and interventional medicine; this is your sister-in-law He Manyi, from the same hospital, in radiology; and hereâs your niece, little Liang Banxia whoâs in her junior year."
"Hello Brother Liang, sister-in-law, and little niece!" Lin Wanwan greeted them with a smile.
Father and daughterâs names were all traditional medicine terms, clearly chosen by Liang Shi.
Liang Shiâs son didnât follow in his footsteps, which Lin Wanwan had long known; in terms of prospects and income, traditional medicine does lag behind Western medical surgery.
Lu Shouyue added from the side, "Hello, everyone. Iâm Lin Wanwanâs boyfriend, Lu Shouyue."
Liang Shi smiled and nodded at Lu Shouyue, saying, "Donât judge Xiaolu by his youth; heâs also a guest professor at Ancient Capital University."
Lu Shouyue humbly replied, "Not at all, just a coincidence."
Kang Hongjing hadnât expected Lu Shouyue to have such a status; being a guest professor is highly esteemed, proving his recognized expertise in a field!
Indeed, that pairs him with the little junior sister.
If heâs not an unaccomplished rich second generation, then heâs not too bad.
His young girlfriend was quite surprised, too; she hadnât expected Lu Shouyue, who appeared so young, to also be a professor there.
She studied art and graduated not well enough in her major to be a painter. She pursued art mainly to get a bachelorâs degree.
Though she wasnât good at studying, she had a favorable impression of book-smart handsome men.
The group chatted and laughed as they entered the private room; lunchtime was still early, so everyone was free to do what they wanted.
Some drank tea, chatted, browsed their phones, or played chess.
Lin Wanwan was currently accompanying Liang Shi in a chess match, with Lu Shouyue sitting quietly beside her watching, while Kang Hongjing and the other two senior brothers also observed.
