Genius Girlfriend - v4 Chapter 159
Grandpa leaned back on the sofa and said slowly, “Xiaojiang, you and Xiaolin are both unmarried couples. What else can’t we tell you?”
Jiang Yubai sat on the sofa on the other side. He answered the wrong question: “Last month, I wanted to bring Lin Zhixia to a family gathering…”
Before Jiang Yubai finished speaking, his mother interrupted him: “At that time, I didn’t agree with you to bring Lin Zhixia over because your father and I hadn’t contacted her yet and didn’t fully understand her.”
Jiang Yubai asked, “If I don’t get engaged, will you get to know her?”
Uncle and Jiang Yubai sang together: “Yes, if Xiao Jiang is not engaged, my parents are probably still on vacation in the Maldives.”
Grandpa turned his head and stared at his uncle.
This time, the uncle didn’t confuse him at all, and even smiled: “Dad, to be honest, I’ve long been blindfolded. Xiao Jiang is still in love with Xiao Lin. You always think that the relationship between them is not long-term and the concept is different, and sooner or later they will break up , You never thought about how to accept Xiaolin. A friend of my sister-in-law’s always wanted to introduce her daughter to Xiao Jiang and create opportunities for them to be alone… I’m not saying that other girls’ girls are not good, but this behavior is very inappropriate. I don’t support it.”
After the uncle had finished speaking, the aunt looked at him sideways.
The uncle asked her in a low voice: “Am I right?”
Aunty said softly: “Well, that’s right.”
Uncle smiled deeper: “It’s enough for my wife to understand me.”
The aunt held his hand tightly.
Dad’s expression hasn’t changed a bit-Jiang Yubai hasn’t learned his emotions and anger. Since childhood, his father was Jiang Yubai’s role model, and Jiang Yubai respected him very much.
Today, however, my father said: “Marriage is a major event in life. You are only in your early twenties, and your decision-making is a bit sloppy.”
Jiang Yubai answered calmly: “I have known Lin Zhixia for twelve years and we have been in a relationship for four years. Such a long time is enough for me to make a decision.”
There was silence in the hall.
Uncle continued to unite with Jiang Yubai: “Brother, many years ago, you and sister-in-law just met for four months…”
Dad picked up a glass of water and just took a sip, the uncle’s voice stopped.
After a while, the uncle still finished the whole sentence: “You and your sister-in-law have gotten married in less than four months… and are they a bit sloppy?”
Dad put the glass in his hand on the table and made a soft “bang”. He opened his mouth and said: “The time of contact is not the key to the problem. I told you earlier that everything is easy to discuss as a family.”
The uncle held his breath: “You also said that there is no negotiation, and you can only get out of the house.”
Before the words fell, the uncle slowly took his aunt’s arm.
My aunt smiled and said: “The night before I got engaged to Shaoqi, my mother asked me, didn’t it feel too fast? I replied, I didn’t think, I like Shaoqi for more than ten years. I have a foundation for my relationship. It’s all going smoothly.”
Uncle repeatedly echoed: “My wife is right, we heard it in the box, Xiao Jiang and Xiao Lin also have more than ten years of relationship foundation.”
“I’m not against them,” my mother suddenly said, “Jiang Yubai has done such a big engagement silently. Is this really appropriate?”
The uncle was speechless.
My mother said: “The secretary did me a background check of Lin Zhixia’s home a few days ago.” She took out a document and put it in front of everyone: “The investigation report, I put it here, there are her parents , Brother, uncle’s family, uncle’s family.”
Jiang Yubai frowned slightly: “Her parents and brother have a good heart…”
“Good people are also at risk,” my mother said. “If you hire a group of new employees, you need to check their credit and check their previous jobs. How can you be careless about getting married?”
Grandma spoke up: “Lin Zhixia has a good personality. It can be seen that she is a very lively and optimistic girl, and she is also very smart. The most rare thing is that she does not have arrogance. You will not get tired when you get along with her…”
The uncle showed an awkward but polite smile-he knew that Lin Zhixia had brought a great psychological shadow to Jiang Yubai, and thanks to Jiang Yubai’s timely adjustment, it did not cause any evil.
And grandma opened the investigation report: “Your dad just said, your family, everything is easy to discuss. You don’t want to discuss with us, you just turned 22, and you are anxious to get to this point, even if Lin Zhixia is a good boy. No matter how good she is, it is her own business. What’s more, there are geniuses in all walks of life, and geniuses are not uncommon. Her papers have not been cited more than two thousand…”
Grandma didn’t say anything after that.
She clicked and stopped.
Jiang Yubai stood up from his seat, his long shadow falling on the neat carpet. He walked to the very center of the chamber, in front of everyone present. Then, he frankly said: “You are all my family, which is very important to me, and Lin Zhixia is the same. You have checked Lin Zhixia’s background and probably know that she is paying the mortgage…”
Grandma was a little surprised: “What size house did she buy?”
Jiang Yubai answered truthfully: “More than two hundred square meters, close to the university city, convenient for commuting.”
Grandma was silent.
After a while, she asked again: “You didn’t pay her?”
Jiang Yubai lowered his head slightly, and looked at her grandparents: “Lin Zhixia does not accept expensive gifts and does not care about material conditions. Research and teaching are the focus of her life. Pure people like her are indeed rare, but they are not uncommon. Existence. I like her, admire her, and admire her.”
He went on to say: “The family is right. What is right is not property. What is right is not material. It is personality and concept. Two people who are cultivated from the same family background are more likely to agree. Lin Zhixia and I grew up together…”
Auntie was very moved when she heard this. She interjected: “Parents, older brothers, older sisters, they have all been engaged. It’s a happy event, and the happy event is coming. Don’t be so serious.”
“Yeah,” the uncle renewed his spirits, “Besides, what’s wrong with Xiaolin? The 22-year-old associate professor, hurry up to catch up with my 23-year-old violin chief position. Xiao Jiang is not engaged, you don’t pay attention to Lin Zhixia, Xiao Jiang Engaged, you guys…”
Grandpa came in front of his uncle. Not only did he not shut up, he blurted out, “Dad, more than sixty years ago, you didn’t have much money.”
Grandpa’s expression was gentle: “Shaoqi, you come with me.”
The uncle is still on the sofa like a stone sculpture.
Jiang Yubai walked between his uncle and grandpa. Jiang Yubai is 1.88 meters tall, and his grandfather’s spine is slightly curved. Jiang Yubai is a lot taller than him. Grandpa raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and sighed, “We Xiaojiang have grown up.”
Jiang Yubai replied: “When you grow up, it is better to make your own decisions than to hesitate.”
Grandpa held his hands behind.
Jiang Yubai followed him out, grandpa’s footsteps paused slightly, Jiang Yubai also stopped at the door of the chamber. He stood here and talked with Grandpa for nearly ten minutes, and his expression became more and more relaxed. Finally, Grandpa asked him: “What do you want us to think of Lin Zhixia?”
Jiang Yubai replied that he hoped that the elders could try to accept her as family members.
Grandpa said with emotion: “I will tell your second uncle and third uncle about your engagement. Next Spring Festival, you can bring Xiaolin home for the New Year.”
Jiang Yubai was finally relieved.
Lin Zhixia didn’t know what happened to Jiang Yubai this afternoon.
Lin Zhixia also encountered a problem herself.
The only doctoral student Fang Yiwen under Lin Zhixia’s school is quantum chemistry. Fang Yiwen wanted to borrow the chemistry laboratory of another professor named Qu Zongyi in the college. However, the equipment in that laboratory was very scarce. Qu Zongyi had to ensure that his students could be ranked first, and he tactfully refused. At Fang Yiwen’s request.
Qu Zongyi said that Fang Yiwen will come to him after the Spring Festival next year, and he will see if he can make arrangements for her.
Fang Yiwen was very happy after listening.
She returned to her laboratory and relayed Qu Zongyi’s original words.
Xu Lingbo slapped his forehead suddenly, hating iron for not being a steel road: “Sister, why don’t you understand? Qu Zongyi means that during the Spring Festival, this equipment is used by people, and after the Spring Festival, it will definitely not be your turn. “
Fang Yiwen pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose: “No way?”
Xu Lingbo sighed.
Fang Yiwen called Lin Zhixia and asked her what to do?
Lin Zhixia’s first reaction was: “It doesn’t matter, I still have a lot of research funds on hand. What is the market price of the experimental equipment you want?”
Fang Yiwen said honestly: “Almost 100 million.”
Lin Zhixia was silent.
Fang Yiwen was also silent.
A few seconds later, Fang Yiwen explained: “The laboratory of Qu Zongyi was built by my former tutor himself. My tutor designed more than ten drawings and ordered a batch of equipment from the best manufacturers in the country. Some of the parts are imported in limited editions, and you can’t buy them with money. My instructor moved to another university, and the laboratory was assigned to Qu Zongyi by the college.”
In that case, Lin Zhixia could only go out and discuss with Qu Zongyi.
“Teacher Lin,” Fang Yiwen told her, “You can help me tell Teacher Qu that I will be on call 24 hours a day and I can do experiments from 12 am to 6 am.”
“So hard?” Lin Zhixia hesitated.
Fang Yiwen grabbed her fluffy hair, still acting casually: “It’s a big deal to make up for sleep during the day, what a big deal.”
Lin Zhixia is full of confidence: “Okay, you wait for my good news.”
After just half an hour, Lin Zhixia returned.
Fang Yiwen guessed the result and said nothing.
Zhan Rui is quieter than Fang Yiwen, and Xu Lingbo keeps rubbing his face–his former mentor has a wide network, many methods, and a strong wrist. There is absolutely no case that he cannot borrow the laboratory.
And Lin Zhixia just touched a soft nail.
She thought for a moment and could only say: “Fang Yiwen, first give me your experimental data and paper framework. I think about it, is there any other way.”
Fang Yiwen immediately handed over a stack of materials.
In the evening, Lin Zhixia went to Jiang Yubai’s home with this pile of materials. She likes sharing a study room with Jiang Yubai. When she is working, she occasionally turns her head and looks at Jiang Yubai’s profile, and her mood becomes very good.
Even if the life after work is not as smooth as Lin Zhixia imagined, she still believes that all troubles can be solved, and both she and Jiang Yubai are moving forward step by step. She still remembers what Shen Zhaohua, Gu Likai, and even Tan Qianche said about her. Before the age of twenty-five, she should be able to make some achievements and realize the life value she has been pursuing for years.
