Lv Zhong sat quietly on the sofa without getting up. In fact, what Lv Xiaojin said wasn't wrong, Lv Lei was a great beauty, full of talent, genuine, kind-hearted, capable in both the kitchen and the hall, an absolute modern version of a virtuous wife and good mother.
A girl like that, is definitely pursued by many. Lv Zhong only knew a handful of them, but at South China University, there were at least a reinforced company's worth of people chasing after Lv Lei. Furthermore, there were quite a few young doctors at the New Affiliated Second Hospital who pursued her too.
Although Lv Lei was always observant and intelligent, people always make mistakes.
Therefore, despite Lv Zhong's previous playful teasing with Lv Xiaojin, he was indeed intent on investigating Jie Wei. After all, he didn't want his big sister to be fooled.
Initially, Lv Zhong seemed to not agree with Lv Xiaojin's statements, because the two of them didn't often socialize, and they didn't know many people or things. Even their parents, Lv Tianlin and Liu Shuxian, who seemed to be in their middle age, didn't have much real-world experience. However, Lv Zhong planned to watch from the shadows!
Because Lv Zhong has the ability to see through a person's character and schemes.
Today's Lv Zhong is a real cultivator, and moreover, a cultivator who possesses a certain spiritual sense.
If Jie Wei had any ill intentions, he definitely wouldn't be able to escape Lv Zhong's spiritual awareness.
"I hope this guy genuinely likes my older sister, otherwise…" A hint of coldness flashes in Lv Zhong's eyes, but it disappears in an instant.
In Lv Zhong's eyes, his own family will always be the most important. He doesn't want anyone to hurt them. If someone really tries to harm the Lv family, Lv Zhong won't mind giving the person a lifelong unforgettable lesson.
Lv Zhong, who has now acquired the Plague God Pearl and integrated with Lv Yue's True Spirit, has the ability to do this.
Just as Lv Zhong's mind is filled with various thoughts, his mother Liu Shuxian has brought older sister Lv Lei and Jie Wei to the living room.
"Tianlin, Xiao Lei has brought her boyfriend over. What are you doing sitting there and reading?" Liu Shuxian beckons at Jie Wei, while calling out to Lv Tianlin who is sitting on the balcony.
Jie Wei immediately goes towards the balcony, extending his right hand enthusiastically towards Lv Tianlin, while sincerely and politely saying, "Uncle, my name is Jie Wei. I am currently a gastroenterology physician at the Affiliated Second Hospital. I've known Xiao Lei for more than four years now…"
"Jie… Jie Wei…" Seeing Jie Wei enthusiastically extending his right hand, Lv Tianlin looks slightly unnatural. He quickly extends his own right hand to shake with Jie Wei, then flashes a forced smile, "So it's Xiao Jie, I've heard Xiao Lei talk about you before…"
Truthfully, Lv Tianlin isn't much of a talker. Moreover, as a father, his subconscious doesn't want his daughter to be taken away or married off too early.
However, this person is the first boy that Lv Lei brought home, so Lv Tianlin didn't dare to show any coldness.
"...Actually, uncle, I've known Xiao Lei for so long and I haven't had the chance to visit you guys. I feel so sorry about it. So I took advantage of today's holiday to come with Xiao Lei. I hope you can forgive my intrusion," Jie Wei said, chuckling. His straightforwardness somewhat won Lv Tianlin's favor.
"Xiao Jie, you are too polite," Lv Tianlin answered with a nod, feeling quite relieved.
Lv Lei, standing by the side, sees her father Lv Tianlin showing no displeasure and smiles happily. She then says to the two men, "Dad, Jie Wei, you can sit down. I'll pour you some tea!"
"Xiao Lei, you stay and keep Xiao Jie company. I will ask Xiaojin to pour some tea," Liu Shuxian quickly stops Lv Lei and asks her to stay with the guest.
"Hmph, why do I have to pour the tea and not big brother?" Lv Xiaojin puckers her lips unhappily. Nevertheless, she still goes to pour the tea as told.
"Huh?" Hearing Lv Xiaojin mention it, Jie Wei suddenly exclaims in surprise and looks at Lv Zhong. He hurriedly asks, "Is this Lv Zhong?"
Only at this moment does Jie Wei notice, sitting in the corner of the sofa, a teenager who appears to be seventeen or eighteen...
In Jie Wei's eyes, this teenager looks handsome and stable, giving off an utterly immovable stance. Although he looks young, his eyes are extremely sharp, akin to sharp arrows pointing straight at one's heart, chilling to the bone.
For some reason, Jie Wei still felt relaxed when he was facing Lv Tianlin, but seeing Lv Zhong sat so uncannily on the sofa, he felt a bit overwhelmed and suddenly became restrained.
"Jie Wei, this is indeed my younger brother, Lv Zhong," Lv Lei introduced with a smile.
"Nice to meet you, younger brother Lv Zhong! Please take care of me from now on…" Jie Wei, having stabilized his emotions, extended his right hand towards Lv Zhong.
"I'm just a student, so it wouldn't be good for me to take care of you. It would make it seem like you're incapable." Lv Zhong responded calmly. However, he still reached out with his own right hand and bumped it against Jie Wei's, before pulling it back.
The indifference of Lv Zhong, who was not cooperating, delighted Lv Xiaojin: Looks like big brother really does care about big sister. He's ready to teach this Jie Wei a lesson. Hehe, I like it…
Lv Zhong's indifferent attitude embarrassed Jie Wei quite a bit. He awkwardly withdrew his hand and said, "Xiao Zhong is indeed as outstanding as the top students of City No.1 High School, very sharp with his words."
"Top student? Haha, I only scored 499 points in the exam this time. Are you mocking me?" Lv Zhong said nonchalantly, clearly not appearing pleased.
Jie Wei was instantly left speechless, couldn't find a way to continue the conversation and started feeling incredibly uneasy.
Thus, the atmosphere suddenly became cold.
Everyone made polite small talk for a while, but it seemed there was nothing left to say. Jie Wei seemed deflated, his face slightly flushed, sipping the tea Lv Xiaojin had brought over in an embarrassed manner.
Meanwhile, Lv Zhong stayed silent. Usually, when he was in front of his family, he wasn't very talkative when dealing with strangers. He preferred to observe and analyze carefully instead.
Watching Jie Wei being rendered speechless by Lv Zhong's sharp words, Lv Xiaojin looked at him with pure admiration. Her admiration for her big brother was like the endless flow of the Yangtze River.
"Xiao Zhong, you're quite the talker," Lv Lei gave her younger brother a stern look, saying unhappily.
This time, Lv Lei invited Jie Wei home to raise his impression points in front of their parents, hoping Jie Wei to perform excellently, so that Lv Tianlin and Liu Shuxian wouldn't oppose them being together. But she didn't expect Lv Zhong to sabotage the plan.
"I speak a lot?" Lv Zhong saw his elder sister giving him a stern look and finally let out a smile, refrained from making further comments. Among the three children in the Lv family, he seemed to be the one who talked less.
By now, Lv Zhong had figured out that Jie Wei was likely Lv Lei's boyfriend. Even if he wasn't yet, it was close. He might even become his future brother-in-law.
Moreover, Lv Zhong had probed Jie Wei's character through his spiritual sense just awhile ago, finding out that Jie Wei truly liked his older sister and his personality wasn't bad either.
Hence, Lv Zhong stopped speaking at the appropriate time.
