Chapter 246 Pity
After seeing the surprise on Xu Youyou's face, Shen Wenxing smiled and asked, "You didn't expect me to be this kind of person, right?"
Xu Youyou shook her head and said, "Aunt Shen, I have eyes and brains. I know that to understand a person, you don't look at what others say about her, nor how she describes herself."
Shen Wenxing asked: "Then what do you think of me?"
Xu Youyou said in a matter-of-fact tone: "I think you are a very good person. Even if there are some rumors outside, there must be some misunderstandings."
"Besides, there aren't many bad people who would say they are not good people. Aunt Shen, since you have said this openly, whether it is right or wrong, you should not regret it in your heart."
Shen Wenxing's eyes softened and she said, "You are a smart girl. I really don't regret it. If I were allowed to choose again, I would still make the same choice."
Xu Youyou continued: "The dishonorable process may be for a more glorious result."
Shen Wenxing nodded slightly and said, "My supervisor is a vindictive person. He always thinks I am an academic thief."
"Do you think that the shooting was done by your mentor?" Xu Youyou asked.
Shen Wenxing's eyes were firm: "Except for him, there will be no one else. He has always been very self-sufficient in academics and never passed on key technologies to foreign students. I am an exception."
Xu Youyou couldn't help but feel curious and asked, "Aunt Shen, how did you convince him back then?"
Shen Wenxing said: "He had to teach me everything he knew because I was the only one among his students who could learn the academic achievements he was so proud of."
Xu Youyou couldn't help but admire Shen Wenxing when she heard this. No matter why Shen Wenxing finally parted ways with her teacher, at least she got such a learning opportunity based on her own real abilities.
Shen Wenxing did not mention the price she had to pay to learn this knowledge, and Xu Youyou politely did not ask any further.
Shen Ju'an didn't suffer any vital injuries to begin with, and since Lu Jingyao hired a professional team, the operation was extremely successful.
When Shen Ju'an was pushed out of the operating room, he was even able to greet everyone with a smile.
Xu Youyou heard the attending doctor's face full of amazement: "You Chinese men are really brave. He refused the anesthesia and just carried it through."
Lu Jingyao had always vaguely regarded Shen Ju'an as his competitor, and when he heard this, his face was full of admiration.
"He is worthy of being called the King of Soldiers." Xu Youyou sighed in a low voice.
Because of this incident, the science and technology exchange conference could not be held, but the small auction was not affected at all.
Before attending the auction, Xu Youyou and Xie Ran made several phone calls, and after discussing with Shen Wenxing twice, the technical cooperation was finalized.
"Boss, a person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Although Ms. Shen did not directly mention the specific technical content, several domestic companies that have cooperated with her have basically made a lot of money thanks to her." Xie Ran gave Xu Youyou another reassurance.
What Xu Youyou cared about was not whether she could make money or not, but she felt that this cooperation seemed unusually smooth, as if Shen Wenxing or the person behind her wanted to use her to do something.
Xu Youyou always felt that she was just a part of other people's calculations, but because she could make money, she ignored this minor unpleasantness.
On the third day after the operation, although Shen Ju'an was not fully recovered, he was a strong-willed person and chose to return home despite the wound.
Originally, Xu Youyou wanted to invite the Shen family's aunt and nephew to go to the small auction together, but seeing how eager they were, she could only go with Lu Jingyao regretfully.
This small auction was held in the private estate of a certain earl. It was Xu Youyou's first time to enter such a classical estate with heavy historical and cultural traces, and she couldn't help but take a few more glances.
However, no matter how beautiful a house is, even if its shape is particularly unique, it will seem just like that after seeing it for a long time.
The surprise that this house brought to Xu Youyou was not even as great as the surprise that came from meeting an "acquaintance" in a foreign country.
Gu Xueying was wearing a black slim dress and accompanying a young man with a smile on her face.
The man looked surprisingly familiar.
Chai Wei.
Xu Youyou had met this man once in the capital. It was said that he was the prince of Star Diamond.
Xu Youyou didn't expect that Gu Xueying would get involved with him. After careful calculation, it seemed that Gu Xueying hadn't even finished her confinement after giving birth to a baby. She lost a child that big, and she couldn't even finish her confinement after giving birth. She actually came to the cold and damp England? Xu Youyou, an outsider, couldn't help but frown. In her previous life, Gu Xueying was the little princess of the Gu family. She had an accidental miscarriage and lay in bed for two months. She was loved and cared for by the Gu family.
Why did she suddenly work so hard in this life? Did she not take care of herself at all? Xu Youyou really couldn't understand Gu Xueying's thoughts.
However, Gu Xueying, after seeing the two people from afar, had a momentary look of surprise on her face, but it quickly turned into a very polite smile.
"Mr. Lu, Ms. Xu, are you coming to this small auction because there is any collection you particularly want?" Gu Xueying asked generously.
Xu Youyou was a little unaccustomed to her like this, but she nodded and said casually, "I just came to take a look. I may not do anything."
Gu Xueying didn't ask any more questions.
However, Chai Wei on the side couldn't help but look at Xu Youyou several more times. It was really that Xu Youyou was too dazzling today.
Although Gu Xueying was also beautiful, she still had the haggard look of someone who had just recovered from a serious illness. She was like a rose that was close to withering, and was completely different from the vibrant Xu Youyou in front of her.
Lu Jingyao frowned and looked at Chai Wei, his eyes full of warning, and the other party reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
"You don't like drinking, so this grape juice is good. It tastes better with some ice cubes." Chai Wei thought he was considerate and handed a glass of grape juice with ice cubes to Gu Xueying.
Xu Youyou frowned as she watched this scene, and couldn't help but say, "Girls should drink less ice."
She couldn't bear it. Even if she didn't like Gu Xueying, she wouldn't watch her dragging her body after a miscarriage to drink a glass of ice water in the early spring weather.
But Gu Xueying just glanced at Xu Youyou, then took the glass of iced grape juice and took a sip openly.
Seeing her like this, Xu Youyou finally stopped trying to persuade her.
[Ding, the task of picking up leaks has been opened. Please complete the detection task within today. If you fail to do so, you will face penalties. ]
Xu Youyou just felt that this system was becoming more and more unpredictable, and the time limit for each task refreshed was quite arbitrary.
Watching the system's golden pointer pointing towards the interior of the manor, Xu Youyou was certain that the target of this detection should be an item at the small auction.
