As a matter of fact, Jin Xiangdong needed no such comforting words. Ever since the day he woke up from his surgery, he was informed that he would be different. Mentally, he had accepted this definition early. Prior to the surgery, he longed to stay alive, more than anyone else because he had too many unfulfilled dreams at such a young age.
Jin Xiangdong smiled at Jin Xianglan. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to complain.”
Jin Xianglan shook her head. “You have done very well!”
The two smiled at each other. Then, Jin Xiangdong got up from the bed and Jin Xianglan handed him his shirt.
Jin Xiangdong put it on quickly. As he buttoned his cuff, he asked, “How far along are you with the new project you talked about last time?”
Jin Xianglan batted her eyelashes when she heard the question. “Stage four.” She answered with a not so pleasant tone.
“Is it going well?” Jin Xiangdong went on.
Jin Xianglan shook her head. He could not tell what she was thinking from her expression.
Jin Xiangdong took a closer look at Jin Xianglan’s expression. “The only thing I can help with is providing funding.”
Jin Xianglan could not help but burst into laughter. “Are you flaunting your wealth? Remaining low profile is a family tradition!”
Jin Xiangdong laughed as well. Given Jin Xianglan’s own reputation, funding was not what was lacking in her research project. The current difficulty must lie within the experiment.
“What is going on? Can you tell me?” Jin Xiangdong asked.
Jin Xianglan gazed at him and heaved a sigh. “Rejection has appeared in the human testing results.”
Jin Xiangdong understood what she was saying at once. “Maybe, the data from my check-up will be conducive to the progress of your project.” He added.
Jin Xianglan smiled at this. She patted his shoulders, “I sure hope so.”
Afterwards, the two of them left the lab. Jin Xianglan was heading out for a business trip so Jin Xiangdong drove her to the airport.
The two of them talked a lot. Laughter filled the car.
Jin Xiangdong suddenly changed the subject. “Sister, what do you think of Jia’er?”
Jin Xianglan turned over to look at him. “My view is not important. What matters is that you really like her!”
“Am I to understand that as you still having some opposing views?” Jin Xiangdong curled up his lips.
Jin Xianglan laughed. “She is excellent and beautiful. It’s just…” At this, Jin Xianglan took a pause.
“Just what?” Jin Xiangdong turned to her.
Jin Xianglan shook her head, “Nothing!”
“Sister, hesitation is not like you.” Jin Xiangdong said with a smile.
All of a sudden, Jin Xianglan put on a stern expression, “You asked me about recovering memory from genetic means previously. Does it have anything to do with her?”
Jin Xiangdong dodged her look. He, who had always been honest with his sister, denied it. “No.”
“Actually, I can accept it, whether yes or no.” Jin Xianglan smiled.
Jin Xiangdong’s mouth twitched. His answer was mixed with truth and falsehood. “Since I am special, the woman I like must be unusual as well!”
The smile froze on Jin Xianglan’s lips but it came back the next second. “Of course, the woman that my brother falls for won’t be normal.”
Jin Xiangdong laughed. “What if she is special, like me?”
“How special?” She followed with a question.
Jin Xiangdong smiled instead of giving an instant reply. “I can tell that, Sister, you have prepared yourself mentally.” He said after a while.
Jin Xianglan smiled and then added, “I don’t think there is anything I cannot accept now.”
Jin Xiangdong was surprised. “Where is this coming from?”
Jin Xianglan came back to her senses. “As a scientific research personnel, my lifelong wish is to create new things. Do you think it’s a problem for me to accept new things?” She answered with a question.
There was no bone to be picked here. Jin Xiangdong nodded. “Agreed.”
However, he must put more thoughts into Jin Xianglan’s words. Had she already found out the real identity of Lu Jia’er?
Jin Xiangdong came straight back home after dropping Jin Xianglan off at the airport.
As soon as he stepped into the door, he saw not Jin Shengping, nor Dong, his assistant, but a foreign man sitting in the living room. It was Colin.
Lu Jia’er, who had just handed two passports to Colin, saw that Jin Xiangdong came back. She stood up at once to greet him. “Ace!”
Colin turned around and waved at Jin Xiangdong. The first thing Colin said was a complaint. “You two are mean. I helped you to be free from being followed but you two tricked me!”
Jin Xiangdong pulled a long face and his tone is cold. “Trespassing is not a joking matter!”
“I was invited in by Professor Lu.” Colin was not intimidated at all.
Jin Xiangdong turned to Lu Jia’er who nodded, “Yes, I let him in.”
Having heard this answer, Jin Xiangdong walked over but his tone was just as cold, “What do you want?”
“To get the passports back.” Colin replied.
Jin Xiangdong darted a glance at the passports in Colin’s hands. “Don’t you already have the passports?” Jin Xiangdong said.
Colin smiled as he waved the passports in his hands. “Don’t you think you should say thank you to me?”
When they were in that car accident in Los Angeles, they did owe Colin for his help. On this front, Jin Xiangdong could be scrupulous in separating public from private interests. “Thank you,” said Jin Xiangdong.
Colin smiled a smug smile. “Goodbye!”
When Colin was walking past Jin Xiangdong, the latter asked all of a sudden, “What was your true intention?”
Colin stopped. He turned around to Jin Xiangdong and said, “I take pleasure in helping people.”
Jin Xiangdong could not help but sneer at the answer. “Name your terms. As long as it is within my ability, I will satisfy your needs to pay the debt of gratitude for saving us that day!”
Colin burst into a bitter laugh. “The coordinate you gave me is a fake one. Do you think I can trust you again?”
Jin Xiangdong looked straight into his eyes. “I can give you the real coordinate. But can you give me an honest answer to the question?”
“I have always been honest!” Colin claimed.
“Did you kidnap Su Han?” Jin Xiangdong came straight to the point.
Colin was taken aback by the question. Then, he put on a smile, “Who is Su Han? I don’t know her!”
“I captured something from your expression there. You are lying.” Lu Jia’er interposed.
“Didn’t you say that you have always been honest?” Jin Xiangdong asked at once.
The smile on Colin’s face seemed to carry profound meanings. “I see that you don’t trust me at all.”
“Fine. Say you don’t know Su Han. Then, what was your intention when following us?” Lu Jia’er pressed on.
