While Xia Shige was thinking frantically in his mind, Tang Shiqi beside him was slowly unpacking crabs while gossiping, "Speaking of which, Professor Jiang Yanhai's life can be considered a legend. He started out as a child prodigy, but became a late bloomer..."

Xia Shige doubted his own ears when he heard this: "Child prodigy?...Late bloomer?..."

How can these two words go together?

Tang Shiqi explained, "He was admitted to the medical school of a top domestic university at the age of 14, so how can he not be considered a child prodigy? You know, the wealthy circle is actually very competitive. Almost every family likes to publicize the results of their own child training, such as memorizing Tang poems at the age of 1, learning programming at the age of 3, and taking the Mathematical Olympiad at the age of 5... Jiang Yanhai has always been the pride of the Jiang family."

"After graduating with a doctorate, he studied abroad for a few years, and after returning to China, he joined a research institute in Anshi. People thought he would definitely make great achievements in the research institute, but he happened to meet Professor Wu Peiyi in the research institute..."

"At that time, Wu Peiyi had just given birth to a child. The outside world looked down on her, and the gossip media commented that she ignored her family... But Wu Peiyi withstood the pressure and led the team to overcome several difficulties and became a core member of the institute."

"On the other hand, Jiang Yanhai's research results have always been inferior to Wu Peiyi's. Because he and Wu Peiyi were the same batch when they entered the institute, the outside world has been comparing them. Perhaps because of too much pressure, the progress of his project has not met expectations, and the resources that were previously tilted towards him have begun to flow to Wu Peiyi."

"Later, Wu Peiyi was selected as a national honorary scholar and became a leading figure of this generation. Jiang Yanhai resigned and went to Yuncheng. He joined a scientific research team in Yuncheng and his career began to slowly improve. Therefore, the outside world commented that he started as a child prodigy but became a late bloomer."

After listening to Tang Shiqi's story, Xia Shige's doubts still remained.

She wasn't sure if Jiang Yanhai would do something horrible to get revenge after what he had gone through... like developing a new virus...

What Xia Shige didn't expect was that before she could find a way to investigate Jiang Yanhai, Jiang Yanhai came to her first.

Looking at Jiang Yanhai walking towards her with a glass of wine in hand, and Jiang Chengyue and Jiang Chengkai following behind him, Xia Shige was surprised and a little embarrassed about being caught. She couldn't help but think - did he hear what I was maliciously speculating about him just now? ?

——Can he read minds?!

——Why else would he come to me? ?

Under Xia Shige's slightly surprised gaze, Jiang Yanhai had already walked to Xia Shige's side. He raised his glass to Xia Shige in a gentlemanly manner with a decent smile on his face: "Excuse me, are you Miss Xia Shige?"

Xia Shige suppressed his doubts, nodded, and replied: "I am... May I ask what can I do for you?"

As soon as Xia Shige finished speaking, Jiang Yanhai sighed and said in a deep voice: "It's like this, Miss Xia, I have heard about your background... Please allow me to introduce you. My wife's surname is Xu, and her name is Xu Xinzhu. From the perspective of blood relationship, she is the younger sister of your biological mother Xu Yilan, and also your aunt."

After hearing what Jiang Yanhai said, Xia Shige was even more surprised.

Xu Xinzhu?

Xu Yilan's younger sister?

Jiang Yanhai continued, "I am ashamed to say that my wife has been weak and sickly since she was young. After the natural disaster, she experienced the separation of her relatives, which was a great blow to her. She has been ill since then... Recently, she often dreams of the separation of her family. She is restless and can't sleep well..."

At this point, Jiang Yanhai sighed deeply, his eyes full of concern and worry for his wife: "Ms. Xia, although it may be a bit abrupt for me to say this, I have no other choice... After all, you are Xinzhu's only relative in this world, and she has always wanted to see you."
