From this sentence alone, one could easily discern that this girl should be familiar with the scientists present here, most likely a second generation scientist.

As expected, one of the white-haired academicians smiled and said, “Three Water (Note: Character Miao consists of three radicals, all of which are Shui, or Water.) from the Yuan Clan is here!”

Three Water? This name is interesting! Lu Jia’er couldn’t help but eye the pretty girl in front of her.

Yuan Miaomiao walked over to the academician, and politely said, “I extend my best regards to you, Grandpa Zheng!”

“You’ve become more beautiful since we met a few months ago!” Academician Zheng praised.

“Grandpa Zheng, you always praise me to the point that I don’t dare to be ugly!” Yuan Miaomiao smiled.

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard her remarks.

Yuan Miaomiao greeted others while she was getting seated. When she saw Lu Jia’er sitting next to Jin Xiangdong, she paused for a while. She had noticed her instantly when she came in.

As the host today, Jin Shengping introduced Lu Jia’er. “Miaomiao, this is Ms. Lu Jia’er, a professor of psychology at B University. She’s a psychology wizard.”

Being praised by Jin Shengping, Lu Jia’er felt that she didn’t deserve it, so she quickly said, “Mr. Jin, I’m flattered. Lu Jia’er, nice to meet you!”

The two looked at each other and Yuan Miaomiao smiled at Lu Jia’er, “Yuan Miaomiao, a graduate student in biology.”

Both of the self-introductions were very brief. The white-haired Academician Zheng added, “Three Water is the granddaughter of Academician Yuan Xin! You young people should gather together more often and exchange experiences in the future.”

Academician Yuan Xin! He is a domestic science master. It is no wonder that everyone here knows her. They must have watched her grow up!

“My grandpa has difficulty getting about, so I volunteered on his behalf to attend the farewell dinner for Uncle Jin.” Yuan Miaomiao smiled gracefully.

“That is very kind of you, Miaomiao!” Jin Shengping said with a smile.

Now that all the guests were here, the waiters served the dishes. Compared with the lively Yuan Miaomiao, Lu Jia’er appeared somewhat silent. She was not an active person. She couldn’t help but give more glances at such a lovely girl.

When Yuan Miaomiao was joking with others, she threw her glance at Jin Xiangdong from time to time, seemingly in a casual way, but the expression on her face had already betrayed her.

It turned out that the girl had a crush on Jin Xiangdong.

After all, few girls could resist the charm of a tall, handsome, rich man! Let alone a man of high intelligence. Of course, Yuan Miaomiao was also very curious about her, who was seated next to Jin Xiangdong. She was guessing at what the relationship between Jin Xiangdong and her was.

Either way this way, this third generation scientist with a strong background was her love rival!

She hadn’t successfully chased Jin Xiangdong yet, but a rival had already arrived. It was a shot of adrenaline to her, she must enhance her appeal immediately.

But how can she appeal to him in front of so many elders in the science sphere?

At this time, Jin Xiangdong put a piece of stuffed tofu into Lu Jia’er’s bowl. “Taste this!”

“Okay!”Lu Jia’er paused, and then picked up the chopsticks. Beneath her calm expression was joyful delight.

Sitting next to each other, both she and he appeared to be cold in the temperament, but the move of putting food into her bowl showed that the two had a good relationship. Lu Jia’er even suspected that Jin Xiangdong had heard her mental thoughts just now.

Then she heard Jason’s inner overlapping sound: is this a declaration of war?
