The True Heiress Is The Real Bigshot

Chapter 329: 318 Live Face-Slapping, the Embarrassed Pei Tianyi [1 Update]

He looked over, but was somewhat skeptical.

He had seen the problem posed by the International Physics Center as well, and indeed, it was a tough one.

But as his field was not physics but biochemistry, he had just taken a look.

Moreover, Quantum Mechanics had always been a difficult problem for the physics community to solve, so how could a student, no matter how talented, possibly solve it?

But Professor Zuo Li was different.

Pei Tianyi felt that Professor Zuo Li had the capability.

If Professor Zuo Li first gave his students the approach to the solution, those exceptionally talented students could indeed figure it out.

With this in mind, Pei Tianyi was not so surprised anymore.

However, Professor Herwen, a top professor, sat up straight and his expression grew more solemn, “The door isn’t locked, please come in.”

It was only after he finished speaking that the door opened.

Pei Tianyi, who had had an indifferent expression, suddenly froze, slightly astonished at the girl standing at the door.

Ying Zijin walked in, took off her hat, and extended her hand: “Hello, Professor Herwen.”

When she spoke, it was with an authentic British accent, even the Queen’s English.

This turn of events made the other professors in the conference room look over, all quite surprised.

Professor Herwen had royal lineage from Country Y, and although he had no significant ties to the Y country’s royals now, he still spoke the standard Queen’s English.

The Queen’s English prevailed amongst the noble families, performing arts circles, and academic circles of Continent O, but now, not many could speak the classic Queen’s English anymore.

The noble families believed that the royal English accent represented authority and taste, while actors learned it for professional reasons.

In the academic circle, it was Professor Herwen’s pronunciation that was the most standard.

Pei Tianyi had never imagined that Ying Zijin, a person from Hua Country, would also decide to learn the Queen’s English.

This royal English accent sounded very charming; the mere tone of voice could make one involuntarily attracted to the speaker.

“Classmate Ying, hello, hello.” Professor Herwen stood up as well, extending his hand with an excitement he couldn’t hide, “I never expected that although you are from Hua Country, you speak English even better than a native like me.”

Since English was his mother tongue, of course, he understood how difficult it was for someone learning it as a foreign language to speak Queen’s English well.

Ying Zijin shook his hand and nodded slightly: “If the professor is interested, I can help you learn Chinese.”

“Certainly, that’s for sure.” Professor Herwen was thrilled, “It’s a hassle that you had to come, Professor Zuo Li said you’re very impressive, and indeed, I do have areas where I need to learn from you.”

Ying Zijin sat down beside him, and Professor Herwen brought out the materials he had brought from Continent O.

The two conversed in English.

Concerned that she might not understand certain aspects, Professor Herwen explained some basic knowledge to her.

Ying Zijin just listened, without making any comments.

“Professor,” Pei Tianyi finally spoke, this time not in English but in German, “You really might as well have a talk with Professor Zuo Li, we can also go to the capital; it’s really unnecessary to waste time here.”

In his view, Ying Zijin could only be one of those who solved the problem; the dominant figure was Professor Zuo Li.

With Professor Herwen’s level, there really was no need for him to be here explaining Quantum Mechanics to a student.

Ying Zijin turned her head, her eyes falling on Pei Tianyi for the first time: “Interrupting someone while they’re speaking is quite rude.”

Hearing this sentence in German, Pei Tianyi’s expression paused, and he felt a sense of embarrassment.

He had spoken in German because he thought Ying Zijin couldn’t understand it.

“Classmate Ying, you also speak German?” Professor Herwen became increasingly convinced he had found a treasure, “At your age, it’s rare for someone to speak two foreign languages so well, do you know any other languages?”

He was very interested in Hua Country’s culture and academics and had learned about the college entrance examination system, understanding that high school students didn’t have much time to study extracurricular knowledge.

Ying Zijin thought for a moment: “I should be able to speak the languages from Continent O.”

Aside from some civilizations that had already perished.

Pei Tianyi scoffed.

He had never seen someone who bragged so much.

All of them?

Did Ying Zijin know how many languages there were in Continent O?

Even if she did, who had the ability to learn them all?

Professor Herwen nodded, his appreciation evident in his eyes, and continued speaking.

Most of the time, it was Professor Herwen who talked, with Ying Zijin listening.

But as the conversation went on and terms became more specialized, the others in the meeting room struggled to follow.

Just then, a loud thunderclap sounded from outside.

Pei Tianyi stood up and pulled back the curtain for a look: “It’s raining, quite heavily.”

Hearing this, Professor Herwen glanced at the time and was startled to realize three hours had passed; it was already ten o’clock.

He couldn’t help but feel some regret, “I’m about to return to O Continent soon, and I don’t know when we’ll be able to meet again.”

Having said that, Herwen turned his head, “Student Pei, it’s late, and it’s not safe for Classmate Ying, being a girl alone at this hour. Please, give her a ride.”

Pei Tianyi frowned and didn’t really want to agree.

He had noticed that although Ying Yuexuan and Ying Zijin were sisters, their relationship was not good.

Regardless, Ying Yuexuan was his junior; he had his biases.

If he went behind Ying Yuexuan’s back to send Ying Zijin off, Ying Yuexuan would definitely be in a bad mood when she found out.

“No need.” Ying Zijin had put on her coat and had already opened the door, walking out, “Someone’s coming to pick me up, Professor, hope to see you again when there’s a chance.”

“Alright, then we must meet again.” Herwen looked again at Pei Tianyi, frowning for the first time, “Student Pei?”

Pei Tianyi took a deep breath and still stood up, took two umbrellas, and followed her out.

Outside the hotel.

The rain had come suddenly, and it wasn’t forecasted, causing many pedestrians who had not brought umbrellas to run wildly in the rain.

The tall and straight man holding an umbrella stood under the stairs.

Amidst the pouring rain and winding mud, he remained utterly unaffected, still exuding heart-stopping elegance.

Fu Yunshen hadn’t been waiting long when he soon saw the girl emerge from the revolving door.

With the arrival of the downpour, the temperature had also plummeted.

Fu Yunshen stepped forward, gently pressing on Ying Zijin’s waist, pulling her slightly toward him, but soon letting go.

He tilted the umbrella he was holding toward her, “Yaoyao, you’re indeed underdressed for today; at this temperature, you should be wearing a down jacket.”

At his words, Ying Zijin’s gaze lingered on him for two seconds.

In such cold weather, he was still wearing a thin black shirt.

This reminded her, whose memory wasn’t usually very good, of the first time they met, in the snow, when he was dressed just like this.

Ying Zijin’s eyes paused slightly.

She had never noticed any traces of Alchemy on Fu Yunshen’s body.

But in this world, there are indeed many magical herbs that can change one’s constitution.

However, such herbs are so rare that they are almost non-existent, and it all comes down to luck.

“Brother has a strong body, and even serious injuries heal quickly.” Fu Yunshen noticed her gaze, the hand that was free tapped lightly on her forehead, his tone lazy, “Little kid, you’re still growing, so you can’t compare.”

He ruffled her hair, protecting her, “Let’s go, get in the car.”

At this moment, Pei Tianyi had just come outside.

He hadn’t yet had the chance to follow Professor Herwen’s instructions to give Ying Zijin a ride when he saw that she was already getting into a car.

Pei Tianyi’s eyes narrowed slightly as he noticed Fu Yunshen.

He could only make out the side of Fu Yunshen’s face through the heavy rain, barely discerning a very handsome young man.

And at that moment, it seemed like the man looked back at him.

Pei Tianyi’s heart chilled, feeling an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Not until another cold wind blew, chilling to the bone, did Pei Tianyi come back to his senses, but the Maserati had already vanished.

He felt an indescribable complexity in his emotions and stood there in a daze for a while before returning to the hotel.

Herwen was still in the conference room, tidying up. Seeing that he just came back like this, he was displeased, “Didn’t you send Classmate Ying home?”

“Someone from her family came to pick her up.” Pei Tianyi put down the umbrella, “I saw him with my own eyes as she left.”

Hearing this, Herwen didn’t say much, simply nodding, “Book the ticket for tomorrow afternoon; I have to go out in the morning for something.”

**

Thirty minutes later.

After the Maserati entered the Wen Family’s residential complex, the rain had also just stopped.

Fu Yunshen parked the car, “Yaoyao, we’re here.”

There was no response, only the sound of light breathing.

Fu Yunshen’s brow twitched slightly as he turned his head, and as expected, he discovered that the girl had fallen asleep.

She was curled up under the blanket, quiet and peaceful, still assuming a sleeping posture devoid of a sense of security.

Fu Yunshen got out of the car and walked around to the passenger side.

This time, he lifted her with no hesitation.

Fu Yunshen’s eyelashes lowered.

His fingers gently touched the girl’s face, leaning in slightly.
