Chapter 692 Marriage Partners Should Be Evenly Matched
“There’s no end to learning.” Jin Lu smiled modestly.
“Brother Jin Lu, you’re such a great person, yet you’re so humble. I have to learn more from you,” Kang Sinuo said.
Zhao Caihua smiled. “It’s good that you know. Oh right…”
Her gaze shifted. “Has your mother been well?”
“Not bad.” Kang Sinuo nodded. Academician Zhao and her mother were biological sisters, but she felt that their relationship was strange and distant. However, it was normal. Academician Zhao was a scientific researcher, so it was natural for her to be cold.
“That’s good.”
After Kang Sinuo answered Zhao Caihua, she turned her gaze back to Jin Lu. “Brother Jin Lu, I heard from Academician Zhao that other than your studies, there’s another reason why you joined the club. It’s because there’s someone you admire in that club, right?”
Jin Lu’s gaze froze for a moment before he confessed, “Yes.”
“Someone who Brother Jin Lu admires must be super powerful. Bring me to see her one day.” Kang Sinuo’s eyes shone with desire. Jin Lu laughed. “That’s impossible.” “Why?”
Jin Lu looked at Zhao Caihua, and the two of them smiled at each other. Then, Jin Lu gave a self-deprecating smile. “She didn’t even agree to my and Academician Zhao’s invitations, so how could I get her to see
you?”
“What?” Kang Sinuo was shocked. It was scary enough to reject Brother Jin Lu because he was already famous among the students in Imperial Capital. But it was the same with Academician Zhao, who was known by everyone? Kang Sinuo was a little angry now. “Who is so rude?”
“Huh? Sinuo, don’t say that,” Zhao Caihua chided softly.
Kang Sinuo lowered her head and mumbled, “I just don’t understand what that person is thinking.”
In her mind, she pictured a nerd who only knew how to read books. She imagined that person to be a boy wearing black-framed glasses.
“Forget it, let’s not talk about it.” Kang Sinuo raised her glass at Zhao Caihua and Jin Lu.
She believed that that person would regret it sooner or later.

At this moment, the person whom she firmly believed would regret it was…
“Yangyang, we were supposed to give Weixing Auction House to you.” Old Madam Kang looked at her with a serious expression. She wasn’t the type to ask first and was the type to do what she said. Hence, when she found Sheng Yang, she had already prepared all the relevant documents. The lawyer was also present, and with a nod from Sheng Yang, all the procedures would be completed.
Sheng Yang fell silent. She had to admit that in some aspects, her mother was rather like her grandmother.
“Grandma, there’s no need.”
Old Madam Kang held her hand gently. “Do you have any concerns?” Pausing for a moment, she said, “I know Little Yi doesn’t lack this bit of money. Even if it’s a mountain of gold and silver, he would move it for you. But these are two different matters. A woman’s career and wealth are the source of a woman’s confidence. This is also the power that your maternal family is giving you. Even if he’s good, you’re not bad either.”
At this point, Sheng Yang coughed dryly. “Grandma, that’s not what I meant.”
Old Madam Kang continued, “Yangyang, what your parents will give you in the future is their sincerity, and this is your grandfather’s and my present to you.”
Sheng Yang sighed. “Alright, then.”
The old madam had put in so much effort. It would be bad if she did not accept it, but…
“Grandma, I can accept it, but I have a condition. You have to accept my gift too.”
When Old Madam Kang heard that, she was instantly excited. “Sure.”
