    Lu Xiaoxiao was one year older than Jiang Yao. This youngdy, however, was the exact opposite of


    Jiang Yao. She was very active and outgoing but she wascking in the academic department. After


    high school, she didn''t manage to be epted to a good college, Lu Haixing didn''t want her to stay far


    away from him either, so he sent Lu Xiaoxiao to a third-rate university in the city for a diploma.


    Lu Xiaoxiao was a natural jester. She had her signature sunny smile on her face all day long as if there


    was no sorrow nor sadness in her world. She treated Jiang Yao, who was younger than her, with


    affection like her best friend.


    Lu Xingzhi led Jiang Yao into the house. Lu Xiaoxiao ran down the stairs and wanted to jump on Lu


    Xingzhi but was blocked by him. She didn''t get upset about it, but instead, she turned to embrace Jiang


    Yao.


    "Sister, congrattions on your admission to Nanjiang Medical School! You''re amazing!" Lu Xiaoxiao


    gave Jiang Yao a thumbs up and said with a wide grin. "If only I had half your intelligence, my dad


    would be so happy."


    Lu Haixing, who was sitting in the living room,ughed out loud. "Good that you know your limits."


    The truth was, Lu Haixing didn''t have any expectations for his only daughter. He would let her do


    whatever she wanted. She was his only daughter anyway, and she would eventually inherit the family


    business. Her life was well taken care of even if she didn''t go out to work.


    "By the way, Xingzhi, Mr. Li called me at noon. He told me about the incident at the department store


    and called to apologize." Lu Haixing looked at Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao, then continued, "The


    saleswoman has been fired, he apologizes on behalf of her for offending you."


    Jiang Yao shook her head hastily and said, "It''s okay, it was nothing, really. It was just a minor scene."


    "If I were there, I would have tortured her until she cried and begged for mercy!" Lu Xiaoxiao snorted.


    "Sister, you''re too mild-mannered, and that''s why they dare bully you!"


    "It''s alright for a woman to be gentle, she has her husband to protect her." Lu Haixing looked at Lu


    Xiaoxiao andughed. "You, on the other hand, are such an arrogant tigress. I''m so worried that no one


    dares to marry you, then I''ll have to take care of you forever."


    As Lu Xingzhi listened to Lu Haixing describing Jiang Yao as gentle, he grinned in silence. Jiang Yao


    was gentle? As far as he remembered, there was not much corrtion between Jiang Yao and


    gentleness.


    Gentleness was nothing more than her physical disguise. Deep down, she was a furious little feline,


    depending on whether she wanted to show the world her ws.


    "Didn''t you say that you''re willing to take care of me for a lifetime? Are you saying that you regret your


    decision now?" Lu Xiaoxiao frowned and growled like an agitated cat.


    "Hey, you two, you''re like two jesters." Mrs. Luughed out loud upon the scene. When Lu Xiaoxiao


    stayed with them in town, their house was full ofughter every day. So, Mrs. Lu missed the days when


    Lu Xiaoxiao was around.


    The dinner was prepared by Lu Haixing''s maid. Lu Xiaoxiao was a particrly picky eater. The first and


    most important criterion when they hired a maid was the ability to cook ording to their standard of


    cooking skills. Therefore, the dinner spread on the table wasparable to those prepared by


    Michelin-starred chefs at restaurants.


    Over dinner, Lu Xiaoxiao asked about Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao''s activities for the day. When Jiang


    Yao told her that they had gone to the movies, Lu Xiaoxiao looked askance at Lu Xingzhi in


    amusement. The topic proceeded to the movie genre, and when Jiang Yao told her that they watched aMaterial ? of N?velDrama.Org.
