Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss

Min Jian turned to look at the young woman beside Mrs. Min. He pondered and concluded he did not know her, so he automatically narrowed his eyes slightly. “Who is she?”

Mrs. Min realized that she had forgotten to introduce them and quickly said, “She is Ji Ya, Ji Xun’s daughter. I don’t think you know her.”

Min Jian suppressed his usual sternness. Since he was always out working, he had barely had any contact with the city’s elites, so it was normal for him not to know Ji Ya.

Although Min Jian did not know who Ji Ya was, she had heard a lot about Director Min. She confidently nodded to Min Jian and said in a courteous tone, “Uncle Jian, how do you do?”

Min Jian nodded.

Ji Ya turned to look at Mrs. Min and smiled as she said, “Auntie Min, in this case, I won’t stay and hold you up. We can always talk about history some other time.”

Since Min Jian was finally home, Mrs. Min said to Ji Ya apologetically, “Okay then. Let’s take a rain check this time. I will call to make another date with you.”

“Uh huh. Auntie Min and Uncle Jian, see you.” Ji Ya nodded politely to them before leaving the Min residence.

Mrs. Min veered her eyes after Ji Ya had left. She looked at her brother-in-law. “What do you think about Ji Ya? Doesn’t she look well brought up?”

“She does look well educated,” commented Min Jian. He paused before he continued. “Sis-in-Law, are you trying to play matchmaker for Yu?”

Mrs. Min smiled as she shook her head and said, “I simply think she is a nice girl. She is doing her Math PhD at Tsing University. There is a high chance she will become a future professor in the department.”

Although she wished she could introduce Ji Ya to her son, she knew her son’s personality like the back of her hand.

Min Jian felt surprised. “Is she that good?”

Tsing University was the number one college in the country, so only the cream of the crop could become a professor there.

“Uh huh. Ji Xun might not be a smart man, but he certainly cultivated a very intelligent daughter,” commented Mrs. Min.

Min Jian did not know much about the Ji family, so he simply nodded. He quickly looked at Mrs. Min and said, “Sis-in-Law, do you know about Yu working as the military training instructor at Tsing University?”

Mrs. Min was stunned. “A military training instructor? No, he didn’t tell me about it.”

“I just got back from Tsing University. I thought you might know more,” said Min Jian as he smiled.

“What is he doing working as the military instructor at Tsing University?” asked Mrs. Min quizzically.

Min Jian pondered. In order to avoid any potential misunderstanding, he spoke candidly. “I think he likes a girl there.”

Mrs. Min was astonished by the news. After some time, she finally composed herself and sounded a little excited. “Has he fallen for a girl?”

Min Jian cleared his throat. “Maybe. Otherwise, why would he take up the post to be a military instructor at Tsing University?”

“Does this mean she is a freshman?” Mrs. Min promptly caught on to this.

“I don’t know the details either. Yu simply said they aren’t officially dating yet. I think the girl isn’t interested in him,” said Min Jian.

Mrs. Min felt astounded. “Is she not attracted to my son?”

Min Jian noticed her reaction and felt that he might have blurted too much. He promptly said, “I really don’t know anything about it.”

The moment he finished his sentence, he went back into the house.

Mrs. Min stood where she was and had trouble believing that the girl was not attracted to her son. After some time, she concluded. “Since she was not blinded by his good looks, the girl must have a good head on her shoulders.”

Sigh.
