But his sister Qin Yihan was aloof and precocious.
The three children were together, and the two older brothers were always taken care of by their younger sister.
Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue suspected the boys were not as intelligent as the girl. When they were two, they secretly tested them and found that they both scored one hundred and eight...
This indicated that the two brothers were merely playing dumb.
Indeed, this proved to be true. Now, at only seven years old, they had not only completed university studies, they had also excelled in other areas and each had their own specialty.
However, to keep a low profile, and as the children themselves chose, only Shen Ci, Meng Chuyue, Han Zheng, and Song Ting knew about this.
Others, including Han Muyang and Zhao Xiaoxin, were kept in the dark.
It wasn’t that they were distrusted; it was to avoid making them feel inadequate.
For they too had married and had a child, a boy, who was five years old, also bright and lovely, but he was ordinary.
Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue considered themselves to be of average intelligence, and they did not discriminate against ordinary people, but they did not want others to feel pressured.
Lin Yuzhe was already twenty-one years old.
His IQ was just a bit higher than average, allowing him to skip grades and complete both middle school and high school. He was now in the final year of a combined master’s and PhD program.
The professor wanted him to continue his studies after finishing, but he decided that upon graduation, he would immediately fulfill his promise to work for Meng Chuyue.
Honestly, he felt a sense of impending crisis.
He was probably the only one in the family who knew, from his observations, that his three nephews were all geniuses.
He thought if he delayed getting a job for a few more years, there might be no place for him at Meng Chuyue’s.
So, to secure his position in his sister’s business, he stopped pursuing further education.
Because the children were mature for their age, Han Zheng and Meng Chuyue didn’t wait until they grew up but instead, on the day before their sixth birthday, took out several unused Space Jades for them to try blood-binding.
Fortunately, all three children opened their spaces.
Amusingly, Qin Yihan’s Jade Ruyi space was the most powerful, only half the size of Meng Chuyue’s but otherwise identical in features.
Han Jiaxuan’s Jade Pendant Space and Han Zheng’s were similar: large but empty.
And Song Beihuai’s Jade Earrings space was the most touching.
Though small, covering just over two acres, one earring was enough for blood-binding, but he ended up with two spaces, and one of these could be given to a person of his true choosing.
Song Beihuai was still young and didn’t prioritize having a wife first in the world; he only wanted to give the space to his beloved father.
Temporarily leaving aside his grandfathers, in their family of five, only his father did not have a space, which was too pitiful. Of course he had to give one to him.
As such, the Shen Ci family of five all had their own spaces.
Although three of those spaces were empty and needed developing,
this was undoubtedly tremendously fortunate.
Han Muchuan and Han Jin never gave up on acquiring the Mustard Space.
However, they did not know that Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue’s three children were all geniuses, so they started their plan to seize it only when the children turned seven.
Over the years, Han Muchuan had enlisted five surrogates, resulting in five children, three boys, and two girls.
He told the outside world that he had adopted each child.
His intention was to announce whichever one could bind with a space as his true son.
The reason he decided to have five children instead of just three was that initially, he thought he could not stand having a partner without emotional connection, but he later found it didn’t bother him, so he carelessly had two more.
Of course, all five children were singletons with different mothers.
Unknown to him, for the same reason, Han Jin had also secretly given birth to three children over the years.
Two daughters and a son.
He did this not to replace Han Muchuan but as a precaution.
