After gaining a correct understanding of Lu Wei's identity, Xiao Ruanruan was no longer surprised by Lu Wei's creation of the Matrix.
After all, they came back with knowledge and technology from more than 20 years in the future. It wouldn't be difficult for them to dominate their field of expertise in a world that is more than 20 years behind!
"What about Chen Danqing? Was she also a time traveler?" Gu Chen had just told Xiao Ruanruan about Lu Wei when he immediately fed her another bite of food.
Su Xixi and Su Xiaowu had already obediently gone to the kitchen to get their bowls and start eating.
Only Su Lei's focus wasn't distracted by the food.
“She’s not.” Gu Chen carefully fed Xiao Ruanruan, but didn’t forget to answer Su Lei’s question. “She is a true genius.”
Su Lei: ...
A deep sense of frustration settled over me.
Why is he surrounded by so many geniuses, yet he feels no sense of accomplishment at all?
Looking at Su Lei's expression, Xiao Ruanruan kindly handed him a bowl of soup that Su Qianqian had prepared. Her beautiful, obsidian-like eyes were full of determination and seriousness. "Brother Su Lei, you don't need to feel frustrated, because you are also very capable, so you are surrounded by capable people."
If you're an ordinary child, you'll be surrounded by ordinary children too. That's called "birds of a feather flock together!"
"The fact that you have more capable people around you means you still have room for improvement. Keep it up, I believe in you!" Su Qianqian was kind this time, encouraging Su Lei while eating.

On the other side, the Li family.
Xia Xingyun led Li Wanjun to stand in front of Old Madam Xia.
"Smack!"
Grandma Xia slammed her hand on the coffee table, her sharp, hawk-like eyes fixed on Li Wanjun. "Was it really Aunt Zhang who put that stuff in the juice, and it has nothing to do with you?"
Xia Lingyun gently nudged Li Wanjun, who immediately understood and knelt down with a thud. "Grandma, that thing really was put there by Aunt Zhang. It has nothing to do with me."
Before the banquet, you told me to treat the Su family well, and your granddaughter wouldn't dare disobey you.
Madam Li's expression softened slightly. She frowned, her face already full of wrinkles, and said thoughtfully, "If Aunt Zhang really put it there herself, and was instructed by someone to implicate Su Yiqing, then this matter will be easy to handle."
I've already sent your dad to make arrangements. Regardless of whether this matter has anything to do with Su Yiqing or not, Su Yiqing must be completely exonerated.
When the time comes, Su Yiqing will owe us a debt of gratitude, and naturally, she will have to repay it.
After saying that, her sharp gaze fell on Li Wanjun again. She frowned and said sternly with a hint of disdain, "Go back to your room first and figure out how to get your skin back."
"You look like a ghost without makeup at such a young age. Who can you expect to marry in the future?"
Li Wanjun lowered her head and whispered, "I understand."
Taking the opportunity, Xia Xingyun said, "Mom, I'll go upstairs and help Wanjun with her skincare too."
"Stop right there!" Old Madam Li's expression instantly turned sharp again, her cloudy eyes narrowing as she scrutinized Xia Xingyun. "So you're not planning on leaving?"
Xia Xingyun immediately said, "Mom, I know I was wrong. I will educate Wanjun properly in the future and will no longer contact my family."
If Dazhi wants to go into business, I will ask my aunt to help Dazhi connect with the Su family.
Mom, I beg you, please don't send me away again!
Old Madam Li glanced at Xia Xingyun, her stern face bearing the imposing authority of a superior, revealing no emotion. The Li family hall fell silent.
Xia Xingyun could hear her own heart pounding. Just thinking about the fawning faces of her mother and sister-in-law when she received the call today asking her to return to the Li family, and the cold sarcasm she would face from her mother and sister-in-law if she were sent back now, made her anxious.
She was so nervous that her hands were shaking.
"Alright, since you're back, then stay!" After a long silence, Madam Li finally spoke.
In that instant, Xia Xingyun's heart, which had been in her throat, finally settled down. She felt her legs go weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground the moment Madam Li spoke.
“But!” Old Madam Li’s lips curled into a cold smile as she looked at her and said sharply, “If you dare to hide anything from me and cause any more trouble, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
"Mom, don't worry, I will be a good wife and mother from now on, and I definitely won't make any more mistakes," Xia Xingyun said respectfully.
Old Madam Li squinted and glanced at her belly. "Speaking of being a good wife and mother, you and Dazhi are still young. If you work harder, you can't expect to find a son-in-law to inherit the Li family business in the future."
Xia Xingyun gently bit her lip and replied, "Mom, I understand. I will discuss this matter with Dazhi."
In fact, Xia Xingyun knew very well that all these years she had been raising Li Wanjun, giving her the best education, and taking her to study abroad, while she and Li Dazhi and his wife lived apart for a long time.
She didn't know if Li Dazhi had someone else outside, but she knew that Li Dazhi had long since lost interest in her.
She hadn't paid attention before because she was so focused on her daughter, but now she took it seriously after hearing what Madam Li said.
Now that Li Dazhi has resigned from his government job, he no longer needs to put on a show of a perfect family. Once Li Dazhi's company is on track, he will probably divorce his wife on his own, without the old lady needing to put pressure on him.
While pondering how to win back Li Dazhi, Xia Xingyun unconsciously walked into Li Wanjun's room.
