Chapter 610: My Girlfriend is Not an Ordinary Person
At the dining table, more than a dozen curious eyes shot towards Xu Hui.
Xu Hui felt a tightness on the back of his hand, and then he heard Ji Chuan say, "Where she works has nothing to do with you? You might as well just ask her how much she earns."
The smile on Wu Jiang's face gradually faded, replaced by a hint of sarcasm. "Why can't I ask this? Could it be that Miss Xu is in some confidential department?"
The others at the table laughed in agreement. Xu Hui also smiled, calmly tucked his hair behind his ears, and said, "It's not some confidential department. It's just that I'm graduating this year and I'm debating whether to stay abroad or return to China for development."
Someone asked: "So Miss Xu is still studying. Which university is she attending?"
Xu Hui replied calmly, "Yale."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the hand on hers move noticeably.
"Wow!"
"Amazing! I didn't realize he's such a nerd!"
Wu Jiang, who was standing opposite him, pressed on, "What major is Ms. Xu studying? Who is her professor?"
Xu Hui looked up at him and replied casually: "Psychology, if you have any psychological problems, you are welcome to come to me, I should be able to help you."
Wu Jiang was stabbed by a hidden knife, and his face became noticeably darker.
Ji Chuan pulled her hand under the table, placed it on his leg and held it tightly.
Xu Hui gently scratched the palm of his hand with his fingers, signaling him to let go, but he didn't.
Someone at the table said, "Yale University is renowned for its psychology. The recently famous emotion recognition and management tool was developed by a team led by Dr. Mark Greenberg at Yale University. I wonder if Miss Xu is familiar with this?"
Xu Hui smiled brightly at the person who was speaking. "Dr. Mark is my graduate advisor."
After she finished speaking, she clearly felt Ji Chuan's leg bounce.
"The management tool you mentioned is called Mood Meter, an emotional dashboard. It's primarily designed to help individuals enhance their emotional awareness, allowing them to understand and manage their emotions more scientifically. To be honest, I'm also involved in this project."
When she finished speaking, the table became noticeably quieter.
She smiled calmly, then said, "They say different professions are like different worlds. I didn't expect that people in the legal field like you know so much about psychology. We can exchange ideas more often if we have the chance in the future."
"I didn't expect that, Xiaochuan, your girlfriend is from quite a prominent family."
The master's wife smiled and praised: "The little girl is both talented and beautiful."
Ji Chuan forced herself to remain calm, and Xu Hui replied for her, "Master's wife, you are too kind."
Ji Chuan picked up a bunch of dishes and put them on her plate, "Eat quickly."
Xu Hui scratched his palm, and he held her right hand. What was she going to eat?
He was slow to let go of her hand. Her hand was hot, all from the sweat of his palm.
This topic was somewhat overshadowed, and everyone started chatting, and someone took the lead in toasting the teacher.
After three rounds of drinks, Wu Jiang spoke to Ji Chuan again, "Ji Chuan, last time I heard my mother say that she happened to see Aunt Ji in the hospital. She came out of the psychiatric department alone, looking dazed. Is there something wrong with Aunt Ji's mind? Uncle Ji is away from home all year round, so Aunt Ji must have suffered some mental stress. Don't just focus on work, pay more attention to Aunt Ji."
Xu Hui had already figured out that this person had a grudge against Ji Chuan, and that he was deliberately hitting people where it hurt by discussing other people's family affairs in public.
Ji Chuan's expression turned noticeably colder.
Xu Hui gritted his teeth and looked at Wu Jiang with a smile: "Lawyer Wu, let me guess, are you an expert in divorce cases? Why do you like to talk about other people's family affairs so much? Are you in a hurry to attract business?"
Wu Jiang's expression changed. Xu Hui blinked and said, "I'm just kidding you. Don't mind it."
Wu Jiang smiled awkwardly and nodded.
A table of people watched the fun with great interest.
The teacher sitting in the main seat pointed at Xu Hui with a smile and said, "Xiaochuan, where did you find this girlfriend?"
Ji Chuan smiled faintly and replied, "I picked it up on the road."
The teacher smiled and said, "Good job picking it up."
