The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot novel Chapter 358

Chapter 358: 344 Omnipotent Genius, Ying Zijin is Divine【3 Updates】

She frowned, “What’s wrong with you?”

She had brought Ying Yuexuan to meet the professors at Imperial Capital University, how could Ying Yuexuan lose her composure like this?

“It’s, it’s nothing, just surprised,” Ying Yuexuan picked up her chopsticks again and smiled, “The student Professor Li mentioned is from Verdant Middle School, I’m just surprised he also has a talent in computer science.”

“No, no, no,” Professor Li spoke up, “It’s not that he also has a talent for computers—rather, he is an all-round genius. It’s not only the Computer Science department’s honor professor who went to him, other departments did too.”

Ying Yuexuan’s smile gradually faded away.

Although Professor Li’s words weren’t aimed at her and were merely an explanation, she felt waves of discomfort in her heart.

She remembered a phrase:

You score ninety because that is your capability, I can score full marks because the paper only has full marks.

Mong Ru was even more surprised, “He didn’t go to Imperial Capital University? Where did he go then?”

In the QS World University Rankings, Imperial Capital University ranked eleventh this year.

But subjects such as physics, automation, and several other majors at Imperial Capital University are at the forefront of the world.

Basically, all the top students from the national college entrance examination would go to Imperial Capital University.

Moreover, honor professors personally invited them. Once they entered Imperial Capital University, their PhD qualifications would be secured.

“He went to Norton University, they value him highly there, even sent a private plane for him,” Professor Li shook his head and smiled, “If it were another university, Imperial University might still have contended for him.”

Mong Ru was shaken, involuntarily gasping for air.

Norton University!

That was a place one could only dream of attending.

After the three finished their meal, Mong Ru took out the program Ying Yuexuan had written and handed it to Professor Li.

Professor Li glanced over it: “Indeed, this will do, but clearly she needs more practice due to limited exposure.”

He placed his business card down, saying, “There will be an interview by the Computer Science department in March next year, remember to come.”

Mong Ru hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly, and was very pleasantly surprised, “Thank you, Professor Li.”

The younger relatives in the Yuan family weren’t bad in their studies, but they weren’t cut out for programming.

Professor Li nodded, picked up his briefcase, and left.

Mong Ru settled the bill and walked out. She suddenly asked, “You went to the same school as Wen Tinglan, do you know her?”

Ying Yuexuan pursed her lips and shook her head, “When he graduated, I was still overseas in Oceania, so I don’t know him.”

Mong Ru didn’t press further.

That made sense.

There were over a thousand students in one grade at Verdant, Ying Yuexuan couldn’t possibly know everyone.

Mong Ru couldn’t help but exclaim, “Norton University, ah, such a genius we can only look up to, far out of our reach.”

Ying Yuexuan’s fingers tensed.

Out of reach?

She knew that Zhong Manhua and Ying Zhenting had visited Wen Fengmian and Wen Tinglan in Qingshui County and had tossed out a hundred thousand, looking down upon them in every word.

Qingshui County was a poor county which still hadn’t escaped poverty.

But now, Wen Tinglan had gotten into Norton University.

What would Zhong Manhua think if she knew?

Since she wouldn’t be able to use Ying Yuexuan to get to know Wen Tinglan, Mong Ru merely felt a bit of regret and turned to practical matters, “After your final exam on January 15th, come with me to the Imperial Capital. Your grades are good, and you don’t need cram lessons.”

“When the time comes, have your mother request a leave of absence from the school for you.”

Ying Yuexuan nodded.

She got into the car and slowly exhaled.

No matter what, neither Mong Ru nor the Yuan family behind her would lose sight of her to Ying Zijin again.

Drunken Maple Forest.

Inside the private room.

After finishing off the last dish, Jiang Ran belched contentedly, finally feeling comfortable.

He alone had cleared half the table’s dishes.

Jiang Huaping spoke softly, “We’ve raised a pig.”

Ying Zijin chimed in casually, “Pork prices are down now.”

Jiang Ran: “…”

Jiang Huaping wiped her hands and asked, “Mianxi, are you staying in Shanghai City for a while or are you coming with us?”

“I’m fine with anything,” Ling Mianxi’s eyes lit up again, “Yingying, it’s almost the end of the month, want to join us and ring in the New Year in the Imperial Capital? Let’s spend the New Year there too, it’s bustling with crowds.”

She really wanted to hide away.

Ying Zijin looked up, “Hmm?”

Beside her, Fu Yunshen took off his coat and casually draped it over Ying Zijin, “It’s very cold; stay warm.”

Ling Mianxi: “…”

If it weren’t for the fact that she was no match for Fu Yunshen, she would have saved the innocent girl from this sea of misery.

“Ling Mianxi, don’t bring disaster upon me… I’m too old for this,” Jiang Ran said darkly, “Isn’t it enough that you’ve wreaked havoc on so many others? What now?”

In the Ling Family, no, it should be said in the whole Ancient Martial World, Ling Mianxi was known as a “Witch.”

She was lawless and liked to play tricks on people.

Yet the elders liked her very much. Her Ancient Martial Talent was also impressive, and she was a rare female practitioner.

The Eight Trigrams adhere to the principle: the male is yang, and the female is yin.

Due to a series of reasons, females are not as suited for Refining Ancient Martial Arts as males.

And the number of male ancient martial artists far exceeds that of females.

As such, Ling Mianxi was also very popular within the Ancient Martial World.

The Ancient Martial World inherited many ancient customs, without the concept of “coming of age” but with a hairpinning ceremony.

So when Ling Mianxi turned 15, suitors had already worn a path to the Ling Family’s door.
