Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1786 The Young Generation (Part One)

Jasmine was the little princess of the Mu Family, and she had inherited all of her parents' best

attributes, growing into a beautiful girl. She was both beautiful and wise, though she chose not to apply

herself to serious studies due to her whimsical nature.

She had long and curly eyelashes, which looked so delicate as to be mistaken for fake. Though only

sixteen years old, she had already shaped into a classical hourglass figure. She was an object of

desire to most men with her supermodel figure and divine features, but she was a perfect example of

self-willed innocence.

Jasmine came and went freely at the FX International Group with attentive looks upon each visit. This

time she drew much notice from all corners, as she wore a white smock, draped beautifully from her

shoulders, and hot pants, which showed off more than they concealed. Her long silky hair was parted

and plaited into two thick braids, which looked a bit tousled yet attractive. Her delicate oval face with

big bright eyes added to her youthful appearance, and hinted at a lovable and approachable nature.

"Justin, who's that beautiful lady out there? Is she your new secretary?" She asked as she walked into

the CEO's office. With an easy spring, she jumped up quite unceremoniously to sit on her brother's

desk.

"Yes, she is. Anna applied for her early retirement, so I had to appoint a new secretary. But what are

you doing here?" Justin asked as he briefly raised his head from the files which he was reading over.

He frowned at her revealing outfit, but lacked the heart to criticize her for it.

"I heard that Eden is returning from abroad today. Is it true?" Jasmine asked curiously as she absently

played with her braids.

"Yes, it is. Why don't you go pick him up at the airport?" Even during their conversation, Justin didn't

stop his work and continued to make notes in the files on the desk. After taking over the FX

International Group two years ago, he had quickly converted to the workaholic lifestyle.

"That's not really appropriate. I don't know him that well, after all," said Jasmine, pouting in perplexity.

Eden had gone abroad to further his education at a very young age, so she knew little about this son of

her parents' friends.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. You were only six or seven years old when he left. It's quite normal that you

don't know him well," Justin replied. He put down his pen and leaned back wearily in his chair. He had

barely seen Eden for years as well, and all he knew about him was that he was a top medical student

and was fast becoming an expert in medical procedures. Now that he was about to graduate, many

famous hospitals all over the globe were scrambling to hire his services.

"Say, Justin. Do you think he is coming back to take over from Uncle Tom as hospital director?"

Jasmine asked. Due to her impetuous nature she often sustained minor injuries, which required

emergency room visits. She had over time, and through necessity, learned a lot of first-aid skills from

Tom at the hospital.

"Well, I don't believe so. Aunt Patricia told me that he is just coming back for a vacation," Justin replied.

He pinched the bridge of his nose, between his tightly shut eyes, trying to alleviate the fatigue which he

suffered daily. After spending the entire morning buried in files, his eyes were exhausted and his brain

actually throbbed.

"Is that so? Justin, do you think that he will agree to teach me some more medical skills if I ask him

nicely?" Jasmine asked as she jumped down from the desk. Lightly and lithely she walked behind

Justin and started massaging his shoulders.

He answered in a lazy tone, "Uncle Tom has already been a very good teacher to you. You have no

need to get a new one. Don't you think so?" He half-closed his eyes, enjoying the pleasure of tired

muscles being relieved by her ministrations. One of the many reasons why Jasmine was treated so

affectionately by all, was her kind considerate nature.

"Uncle Tom said that I should content myself with basic first-aid knowledge. He also said that I should

leave the rest to professional doctors." She pursed her lips, resting her head intimately on her brother's

shoulder.

"What's wrong with that? I totally agree with Uncle Tom. After all, it's a very serious business to be a

doctor, because it usually involves life-and-death decisions. Not everyone is cut out for that," Justin

said in a half joking tone. He knew his younger sister better than anyone else. Despite her clever mind,

the girl was too tetchy to bury herself in a specific study. But on the up side, she had developed

excellent athletic abilities in her free time. Thanks to that, it would be difficult for an ordinary man to

overwhelm or hurt her.

"Humph! What do you mean by that? Do you think that I would hurt others when I try to treat and cure

them?" Jasmine grumbled with annoyance. She pulled away from him and rolled her eyes. 'Okay, it

seems that I can't rely on him to help me with a reason to meet Eden, ' she thought.

"Let's go out now! I'll treat you to lunch," Justin offered. He stood up from behind his desk and

stretched his lanky frame. At roughly 1.9-meters-tall, he would tower over most, and Jasmine stood

about a head shorter than him.

"Great! Why don't we invite Richard to go along with us?" Jasmine suggested happily. She and Richard

got along well, perhaps due to their similar ages. Aside from that, his taste in clothing was always

fashion-forward - which might be influenced by his mother, Leena - and he always looked cool.

"He's probably still in school now. I wonder if he can go with us," Justin said. Richard was attending a Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

military school, and the strict discipline there offered him little freedom to socialize with friends.

"I'll call him to find out," Jasmine said. Taking out her phone, she started dialing his number.

"Okay! I'll hand some work over to my new secretary while you talk," Justin replied with a soft smile

before leaving the office.

After issuing his instructions, he turned around and was confronted by a downcast Jasmine coming out

of the office.

"What happened? Can't he make it?" Justin asked. He felt sorry when he saw his sister in low spirits.

Every time Jasmine was down, he would feel terrible as well.
