Chapter 1255: Chapter 1196: Could It Really Be Such a Coincidence? (Part 2)
"Lili, are you very familiar with him?"
Jiang Boya’s tone was a bit jealous.
"I’ve met him once. But Austin is my mentor’s son, so he’s like a senior to me. He’s very knowledgeable, and I’ve had a pleasant conversation with him in Vivian’s office."
Sitting down next to Jiang Boya with a smile on her lips, Kang Li explained lightly how she met Austin and their relationship.
"Since you’ve only met once, you should address him as Mr. Davis. It’s not only polite but also respectful." Is it really necessary to call him by his first name after just one meeting?
Jiang Boya felt increasingly jealous, even a bit bitter.
However, Kang Li didn’t know what he was thinking. She smiled and said, "Teacher Vivian treats me like a daughter. She told me to treat Austin as an older brother and to call him by his first name."
Jiang Boya: "That’s just courteous. You shouldn’t take it seriously."
"It’s not just courtesy. My mother really considers Kang Li like a daughter." At this moment, Austin also changed how he addressed Kang Li. He didn’t expect her to be so casual, calling him by his first name on their second meeting.
There were no peculiar feelings involved, but it felt comforting to him.
Jiang Boya rolled his eyes internally.
A moment ago, it was all "Miss Kang Li," and now suddenly, it’s "Kang Li," his precious daughter. Ha! Does he think that will close the gap between him and his daughter?
Dream on!
Austin was unaware of Jiang Boya’s inner grumbling. He looked at Kang Li and said, "I didn’t have much to do today, so I came to visit Chairman Jiang and Manager Jiang, and to check on you. How have you been lately?"
"I’m doing quite well."
Kang Li responded with a smile.
"Master, young master, Miss Davis is here to visit with young master Allen."
The butler appeared again in the living room.
"Let them in."
Jiang Hongfa spoke up.
"Yes."
The butler replied.
After the butler left, Austin glanced at Chairman Jiang, then at Jiang Boya, catching his gaze. Before Jiang Hongfa could speak, Jiang Boya said, "Miss Davis and her son are my daughter’s friends."
Upon hearing this, Austin shifted his gaze to Kang Li, who nodded, "I became acquainted with Miss Davis and her son because we really hit it off. By the way, are you related to Miss Davis?"
With a gentle nod, Austin said, "Lisha is my cousin."
"A real cousin?"
Kang Li asked with a smile.
Shaking his head, Austin replied warmly, "We share the same great-grandfather."
"That’s not too distant of a relation," Kang Li said, then heard familiar footsteps coming. She looked toward the entrance to the living room and saw Miss Davis pushing a wheelchair inside.
The young boy almost immediately locked his eyes on Kang Li as he entered: "Sister..." Here, it must be mentioned that the boy’s surgery was very successful, and his health has been quite well. However, to ensure nothing unexpected happens during his recovery, Miss Davis, also known as Miss Lily, insists on having her son in a wheelchair when going out.
"Lisha! Allen...?"
Austin was full of surprise. He knew about Allen’s hematopoietic issues and knew that after surgery, the problem had been resolved. But he never expected that a child diagnosed with autism at birth could speak...
"You heard right, Allen can now speak."
Understanding what Austin wanted to say, Miss Davis, with a calm demeanor, gave him a confirmed reply.
"Congratulations!"
Despite feeling a bit uneasy, there was no trace of it on Austin’s face as he congratulated Miss Davis.
"Yes."
Miss Davis nodded, not saying much more.
"Sister."
Allen stood up from the wheelchair and slowly walked over to Kang Li.
"Sit."
Kang Li patted the spot next to her, inviting the boy to sit down.
"...Okay."
Allen looked at Kang Li, standing in front of her for a moment before responding.
As time slowly passed, no one in the living room spoke. Seeing this, Jiang Hongfa stood up: "You all chat, I have some matters to attend to."
"Did you come to see Chairman Jiang and Mr. Jiang Boya on business?"
After Jiang Hongfa left, Miss Davis asked Austin.
Hearing this, Austin shook his head: "I came to visit my junior sister, Kang Li."
Miss Davis was puzzled: "Junior sister?" Is it as she thought? In Hua Country, it’s common for students to address teachers’ children as senior or junior brothers or sisters.
