Chandler’s eyes widened immediately, clearly having heard about Emrys‘ exploits from Roger before.
He was immensely surprised in his heart.
“Dr. Lund, you’re truly young and promising!” Chandler complimented, then looked at Roger with a
meaningful gaze, saying, “No wonder I thought there was something peculiar about your family, Roge.
So, that’s how it is, that’s how it is. Hahaha!”
How could he not understand at this point? It was clear that Roger had set his sights on the young and
promising Dr. Lund Emrys to be his son–in–law. Moreover, judging by the shy demeanor of his
daughter, Jacqueline, just now, it was obvious that she had developed feelings for Emrys as well.
Now, they were just waiting for Emrys to give his approval.
After Chandler figured out the crux of the matter, he suddenly blinked at Emrys and said, “Dr. Lund,
actually, I also have a daughter. She’s fair–skinned, with long legs and a perky behind—”
“Chandler! Shut your mouth!”
“Haha, I was just joking around. Don’t worry, I won’t steal your ideal son–in–law,” Chandler said with a
hearty laugh.
Roger’s face had turned dark. He cautiously glanced at Emrys, and seeing no reaction from the latter,
he finally let out a sigh of relief.
In truth, Emrys was also puzzled in his heart. Is this guy the governor? Isn’t he too unassuming?
However, as a result, Emrys had a rather favorable impression of Chandler. He found the latter to be
quite an approachable person.
The three of them were chatting while sipping their tea, and before they knew it, half an hour had
passed. Suddenly, Chandler spoke up. “Roge, do you remember back in our university days when we
joined a calligraphy and painting society? We both fell for the same senior in the society. We each
made a painting to confess our feelings to her, only to be scolded harshly. Looking back now, it’s quite
a fond memory!”
“Fond memory, my foot! Isn’t that senior your wife now?”
“Ha! Are you blaming me because your skills didn’t measure up?”
“How about we have a competition now?”
“Let’s do it, then. Do you really think I’d be afraid of you? You’ll always be the one defeated by me,”
Chandler said jokingly.
The two middle–aged men, neither willing to concede to the other, promptly moved to the study. They
laid out their calligraphy sets, ready to determine who was superior.
However, what should they paint?
Chandler suggested, “I remember when we first met our senior at school, it was by the waterlily pond,

imaginative abilities.
Upon hearing those words, Roger was immediately displeased and retorted angrily, “Yeah, right! How
dare you bring up this matter related to our senior. I think you’re just trying to brag abom your wife
today.”
Initially, the two of them pursued the same senior. However, Chandler managed to win her over first.
That left Roger so upset that he didn’t speak to Chandler for several days. Eventually, he took his
revenge by making Chandler pay a hefty bill at the school cafeteria, Only then did he feel his anger had
been appeased.
The memories of those years were sweet for Chandler. However, for Roger, they were nothing but a
messed up youth.
He simply refused to paint the waterlilies.
Seeing him like that, Chandler suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed, “In that case, let’s draw a
bird!”
“Draw a bird?”
Roger sifted through his memories, realizing that his recollections of his senior indeed had no
connection with birds. Thus, he nodded and said. “All right, let’s draw a bird,”
And so, each of them took a table and began to paint.
Emrys found it amusing, so he stood ofl‘ to the side and watched the two without uttering a word to
interrupt.
After waiting for a while, the two of them gradually finished their drawings. They couldn’t wait to invite
Emrys to judge their work.
Roger said, “Dr. Lund, all you need to do is to tell us, based on your first impression, who among us
two drew better.”
He knew that Emrys was not a professional calligraphy and painting appraiser and couldn’t offer much
in the way of critique. However, he believed that Emrys should still be able to discern between good
and bad artwork.
Chandler was also looking at him with a face full of anticipation.
Emrys chuckled and said, “Since both of you have asked for my opinion, I’ll share my humble views. If
there’s anything I say that’s incorrect, please don’t laugh at me.”
