His Genius Wife Is A Superstar

Chapter 196 - Deserve

Jin Liwei was at the backseat of his car reviewing some documents. One of his subordinates was driving. Xu Tian sat on the front passenger seat, busy replying to e-mails on his laptop.

They were on their way to a business meeting at another company.

Jin Liwei’s mobile phone rang. He clicked on the wireless earpiece he was already wearing to answer the call. He didn’t bother looking at the caller because only a few people were able to contact his personal number.

"Hello?"

"Liwei my dear, how are you?" A familiar elegant, elderly female voice asked him.

Jin Liwei immediately stopped what he was doing. He put aside the documents and focused on the call. "I’m doing well, Grandmother. How are you?"

"I’m getting old," she replied, sighing.

"I disagree. You haven’t aged in years. You’re still beautiful as always."

His grandmother chuckled. "It seems like it’s true that you have a girlfriend. You’re now quite the sweet talker."

"I’m only telling the truth, Grandmother."

She laughed in delight. Then she asked, "Are you busy?"

"Not yet. I’m in the car. But I’ll be busy later."

"I see. I’ll make this quick then. When are you going to introduce your girlfriend to your mother and I?"

"Soon, Grandmother," he answered. "We just met with her family, so we’ll be meeting with you next. We’re just waiting for a good time when both of us aren’t so busy."

"May I know her name?"

Jin Liwei hesitated. "How about you wait until I introduce her to you?"

He was sure that if he revealed his baby girl’s name to his grandmother, she would immediately order an investigation on her. He wanted to be the one to introduce his own girlfriend instead of a private detective.

Besides, his grandmother might misunderstand some of the unpleasant details in his baby girl’s dossier just like he did before he got to know and fell in love with her. His baby girl was amazing but even he couldn’t erase her bad reputation in the past. He didn’t want her past to affect his grandmother’s impression of her.

"Fine. I hope that you bring her soon. I want to meet this girl who managed to catch your interest." Then she paused. "Clarify this for me, my dear. It’s a girl, right? Not a boy?"

Jin Liwei scowled. He closed his eyes to control his temper, not wanting to snap at his own grandmother. "Yes, Grandmother. My girlfriend is a girl, not a boy."

"Don’t be angry, my dear. I just want to make sure," she said, laughing. Then she sighed. "I’m happy that you finally have a girlfriend. Your mother, Grandpa Lu and I have been so worried that you’ll stay a bachelor for your entire life."

"I would probably stay a bachelor, if I didn’t meet my girlfriend."

"Oh, you sound exactly like your grandfather! That’s exactly what he said about me!"

Jin Liwei gave his grandmother a few moments to collect herself. He knew how much she missed his grandfather. She didn’t cry, but he could almost feel her sadness and longing through the phone. It didn’t take long for her to calm down, though. She had always been excellent in managing her emotions.

"By the way, your Grandpa Lu introduced a lovely young woman to me and your mother a few days ago. They visited me all the way here in the mountains. She’s very nice and smart. I want you to meet her."

"No," he immediately rejected. He had no interest in other young women besides his baby girl.

"Liwei my dear, she’s a genius. It would be advantageous for you to befriend someone like her."

He frowned. Did the young woman describe herself as a genius to his grandmother? How conceited! He already formed a bad impression of the young woman without even meeting her. A genius, she said? He bet that she was nothing compared to his baby girl who didn’t brag about her IQ and talents.

"My girlfriend is a genius and she’s enough for me. I don’t need anyone else."

"My dear, this young woman is a student of the world-renowned—"

"Grandmother, I’m not interested." His tone was final.

He didn’t give a d*mn about what kind of famous school the young woman attended. Could she even compare to his baby girl who was a student at the one and only Cross Academy? Of course not! His baby girl was one of a kind!

"You’re really like your grandfather," she said, sighing. "You’re loyal to your lover and also stubborn to a fault. I hope that your girlfriend deserves you."

"Grandmother, it’s the other way around. It should be, do I deserve her? I might not deserve her, but I love her. If she’ll have me, I’ll make her happy for the rest of my life."

"Oh, you silly boy. What kind of love potion did that girl feed you? I can’t believe you’re saying these things! I’m having goosebumps."

"She didn’t feed me anything like that, Grandmother. I just came to know the real her and fell in love with her as a result."

’It’s actually me who’s wishing that I have a love potion to feed her instead,’ he thought before shaking his head. He scolded himself, ’If I can’t make her fall in love with me through my own efforts, then I really don’t deserve her.’

"Now I feel more curious about your girlfriend. Introduce her to me and your mother soon."

"Yes, Grandmother. Don’t worry, I will."

The two chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up.

He would ask his baby girl later if they could meet his grandmother and mother sooner. He could tell that his grandmother was looking down on his girlfriend a little. He wanted to show her that his baby girl was amazing than that self-proclaimed "genius" young woman she just met.

He didn’t think much that it was Grandpa Lu who introduced the young woman. If the young woman was really great like how his grandmother described her, then Grandpa Lu would’ve hidden her away and saved her for his Fifth Brother instead. Jin Liwei knew what Grandpa Lu was like. That was why Jin Liwei figured that the young woman should just be a daughter of a friend or someone like that.

Jin Liwei tossed the matter out of his mind and resumed reviewing documents. He had no interest in other females.

For him, his baby girl was the best.
