Gu Juexi came here, abandoning his identity as CEO. In Ye Yuwei’s words, he was a ‘crowned beast’ [1] of the academic field.
Ye Yuwei was taken by Gu Juexi to see many of such experts.
Although she did not understand why Gu Juexi had suddenly become so enthusiastic about bringing her around. After all, in the past, even though it was her desire, Gu Juexi would wish that she would not appear within a radius of five kilometers from his line of sight.
But now, she absolutely did not want to be with him all the time.
The academic conference was conducted no differently from the way Gu Juexi conduct his meetings. Only this time, the one sitting in the main position should probably be the legendary Doctor Wu.
“If Mrs. Gu feels bored, there is a place to rest on the third floor. After all, it appears that you don’t understand what’s being discussed.” A woman who seemed to be in her thirties suddenly said when Ye Yuwei was bored.
It was just that this woman’s words were filled with disdain.
Gu Juexi’s expression changed slightly and warningly said, “Mary.” [2]
The woman known as Mary gave a slight shrug as if to say, “I am just stating the truth”.
“Indeed I don’t understand what was being discussed. Furthermore, I don’t even understand why would you use a mathematical theory that is wrong in itself to prove your so-called black hole theory.” Ye Yuwei herself was already annoyed. Now that she was suddenly being criticized disrespectfully for no reason at all, she naturally wouldn’t put up with it. Hence, she directly countered it with her own comeback before getting up, preparing to leave.
Gu Juexi frowned as he watched Ye Yuwei was preparing to leave, ‘This woman—’
Mary’s face darkened upon hearing Ye Yuwei’s words.
Doctor Wu suddenly spoke up and stopped Ye Yuwei, who had wanted to leave. He smiled, and said, “Mrs. Gu, why did you say that it is a mathematical theory that is wrong in itself?”
Ye Yuwei turned back and looked at the person in the main position without any fear. “Many times, the error does not require a reason, because its reasons are not acceptable at all.”
Ye Yuwei finally gave a strong reply, before turning around to leave again.
“At that time, Ye Shu and I said the same thing,” Doctor Wu said laughingly.
Ye Yuwei stopped in her tracks. She then turned her head to look at Doctor Wu sitting in the main position. Doctor Wu saw that she has stopped and shrugged. “A man who looks like you said the same words.”
‘Ye Shu?’
She had heard this name before.
Cheng Jie was the one who told her.
But looks like her?
What did it mean?
Gu Juexi’s hand holding the marker pen slowly tightened, then slowly relaxed. After doing this several times, he watched Ye Yuwei turn around and leave the conference room.
‘Saying the same words—is this considered a second coincidence?
‘It couldn’t be!’
They were similar in appearance, were both mathematicians, and they even had a completely consistent view of one thing.
This kind of coincidence was scary.
Ye Yuwei reached the rest area on the third floor, where the hotel staff served her fruit and cakes. After thanking them, Ye Yuwei took a seat next to the window and gazed down.
Ye Shu.
Look-alike but was not the same person—so what did this mean?
Could it be that Ye Shu was actually related to her?
When she thought about how Gu Juexi had previously asked her if she wanted to find her parents, Ye Yuwei tightly gripped the cup in her hand.
Could it be that the Ye Shu whom Cheng Jie knew, was a relative of hers?
While Ye Yuwei was still sitting there, the woman named Mary came over again. She looked at Ye Yuwei with her hands folded on her chest. “And here I thought what is it about the woman that Gu married, that makes her better than the others.”
The woman made fun of her in Spanish.
Ye Yuwei raised her head and looked at the woman in front of her with blonde hair and a voluptuous body.
Ye Yuwei gave her an indifferent glance, having no intention of paying any heed to this woman.
Translator’s Note:
[1] ‘crowned beast’ – referring to a person whom on the surface was highly regarded by others, but on the inside is actually a despicable person.
[2] Author wrote this name as marry (yes without capitalization) so I changed it to the more common spelling.
