Chapter 338: The Professor
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In fact, from an outsider’s point of view, let alone daughters from rich and powerful families like Yan Yue or Zheng You, any heiress who could attend this banquet had a better family background than Bai Lin.
In their eyes, Bai Lin had nothing—even though she was indeed beautiful.
“It’s fine to spend some money and keep her as a lover since she’s good looking. But if he really marries such a woman, what help will it be to his career and family? He’ll still have to marry someone of equal social status,
That was what they said.
However, they also said, “Fourth Young Master Yan is already at the age where he should get married. Now is the time for the Yan family to support the new head of the family. If Fourth Young Master Yan were to cause troubles because of a woman like her, who knows who the Yan family’s power would end up with?”
The banquet was about to begin.
Elder Mrs. Yan had also arrived at the main hall of the banquet.
The discussions gradually disappeared and were replaced by some common and ordinary topics.
Bai Lin did not know about these discussions nor did she care about them.
Her mouth was stuffed with half a piece of cherry jam mousse, and she was like a little hamster trying her best to swallow her food. Yan Ruo was beside her, holding a glass of fruit juice, afraid that she would choke from eating too fast.
If they were ordinary people, people would definitely say that they were a sweet couple.
However, no one could say that in the Yan family.
Yan Yue suppressed the unhappiness in her heart with great difficulty. She put on a smile and walked over to Elder Mrs. to wish her a happy birthday. “Grandma Yan, it’s your birthday today. Yueyue wishes you good health and a long and happy life.”
“Oh, Yueyue, you’re sweet as honey. You’re so likable.” Elder Mrs. Yan smiled and took Yan Yue’s hand, her fondness for her overflowing.
Elder Mrs. Yan had always liked this child from the extended family. She was even more interested in her now.
First of all, Yan Yue was a very polite and hardworking child. Second, she was indeed very talented in many things.
Now that the marriage with the Zheng family had failed and she had no idea
how good that young lady with the surname Bai was, Yan Yue had indeed become the ideal candidate to be her granddaughter-in-law.
At the banquet, a man with glasses was looking in Bai Lin’s direction.
The girl’s clothes were out of place here, and her unusual behavior made him feel a sense of familiarity.
“Professor, your latest research’s published in the papers. Congratulations!”
A glass of wine from the side interrupted his thoughts. He took the glass and responded. When he turned his head to look again, the girl was no longer where she had been, as if he had been hallucinating.
The well-known professor shook his head in disappointment and sighed that he must have been hallucinating. Even though his favorite student was indeed from Hua, how could it be so coincidental that he would meet her at such a banquet in the vast country?
“Mr. Hans.” Elder Mrs. Yan stopped the professor. “Is the wine prepared by the Yan family not to your taste?”
She asked with a smile. When Professor Hans saw that it was Elder Mrs. Yan, he immediately put on a smile and said, “It’s because your wine here is too sweet and fragrant. It’s making me feel sad that I won’t be able to drink such good wine when I return home!”
Although his accent was a little awkward, it could be heard that Hans had studied a lot on the language of Hua and could already communicate with people in Hua without any barriers.
It was said that Hans had studied the language in order to compete with another professor in the university for a student from Hua. In the end, the student had somehow convinced the two professors for the both of them to pass their knowledge to the student together.
This was the first time a student’s thesis was signed with the names of two professors at the University of Miliye. The thesis was published in the most famous mathematics journal and caused a lot of discussion in the mathematics community. Even now, many students at the University of Miliye were still talking about it.
“Hahaha.” As expected, Elder Mrs. Yan laughed at his humorous statement. “If you put it that way, I’ll have to get the wine cellar to bring a few more bottles for you to take back, in case you come here to ask for wine again!”
Elder Mrs. Yan was a well-known alumnus of Miliye University. However, she had returned to Hua halfway through her studies and followed her husband to work hard for their career. As the family business gradually grew, she invested a lot of money in Miliye University.
One of Hans’s research projects was sponsored by Elder Mrs. Yan directly. In the end, the research results of that project were directly authorized to be used by the Yan family business, which brought a lot of profits to the Yan family. It was also because of this that Hans and the Yan family became closer.
“Come, Yueyue. Say hello to Professor Hans. He’s a math genius..”
