Charlie nodded with a smile and asked. "Is Aunt Matilda there?”
"Of course!" Jacob smiled widely and spoke in a very soft voice, "Your Aunt Matilda is sitting next to me now. I am teaching her how to appreciate Yan ZhenQing’s writings!"
"No problem, father!" Charlie laughed. "So, you’re currently researching Yan ZhenQing?"
"Yes." Jacob said happily, "Anyway, since when do I only perform research about Yan ZhenQing? I also research Wang XiZhi, Huang TingJian, Liu GongQuan, OuYang Xun, and more. I, your father, do all kinds of research!" 9
Charlie laughed. "Alright. One of these days, I will have to learn from you."
Charlie continued, "Oh, yes! Father, the skincare products that you requested are with me now. Why don't I send it to you now? If I bring it home and mother finds an extra set, it’s going to be difficult to handle." 5
The main reason why Charlie had prepared 3 sets of skincare products was because instead of just giving Elaine one as a gift, naturally, he needed to give one to his wife, Claire, as well, while the third set was for Jacob to present it to Matilda as a gift. 7
However, if he were to bring all three sets home and Elaine happened to find out, other than Claire’s portion, Elaine would surely try to think of a way to obtain the other two sets.
Therefore, it was better to separate the set that his father-in-law intended to give to Matilda first.
Jacob immediately perked up with joy after hearing what Charlie had mentioned. "Wow! My awesome son-i n-law, you sure are amazing! I just informed you of this matter this morning and you've already got it done. This is simply amazing!"
Charlie smiled a little. "It's just a simple matter, it’s nothing much. Give me a while, I will head over there now."
Jacob immediately replied, "In that case, give me a call once you reach the front gate of the university. I will head out to meet you then."
"Ok!" 7
About ten minutes later, Charlie had arrived at the Aurous Hill University's gate.
