Chapter 669 Skipped Grades
“Come, come, I’ll make the introductions. This is your aunt, Zhao Manshu. This is your cousin, Kang Sinuo.”
Sheng Yang was never friendly to people she wasn’t close to. As for her grandmother, it was because they felt like old friends at first sight, so when faced with this pair of mother and daughter, Sheng Yang only nodded slightly out of respect for her uncle. She was completely like a wildflower in the mountains. Grandma was already used to it, but she still explained things to Zhao Manshu and Kang Sinuo, “You’ll get used to Yangyang’s personality.” Zhao Manshu was about to say something when Kang Sinuo said, “I understand.”
Just as she was about to enter, Sheng Yang’s gaze accidentally landed on Zhao Manshu. She frowned slightly as she felt a sense of familiarity. However, she couldn’t remember when she had seen this person before.
Kang Sinuo sat there and told Old Madam Kang about her research in the foreign laboratory from time to time. When she talked about it, she was beaming with joy and seemed to be in high spirits.
Sheng Yang was originally immersed in the sea of books, but occasionally, she would divert her attention to listen.
“Ah, how would I understand these things?” Old Madam Kang suddenly looked at Sheng Yang. “Yangyang is a top student, and you’re good too, Sino. You should tell Yangyang about your research.”
Kang Sinuo stopped smiling and closed her eyes. “Okay.”
“Sinuo, you can tell Yangyang about it and let her learn.”
“She’s only in her first year and I’ve already graduated. I’m afraid that the difference is too big and she won’t understand.”
“No,” Old Madam Kang said firmly. “Yangyang is very smart.’
Kang Sinuo had a feeling that the old madam was exaggerating. The old madam had always liked her aunt, and this was the long-lost daughter of her aunt, so the old madam loved her even more.
Old Madam Kang’s words could not be counted. Hence, she didn’t take it to heart and continued to pester Old Madam Kang. Old Madam Kang looked a little worried. It wasn’t that she didn’t understand advanced science. She had dabbled in it when she was young, but back then, the advancement in technology wasn’t as fast as it was now. Furthermore… she was getting on in years and couldn’t think fast enough. She really wished she could fall asleep listening to it.
After a while, Kang Lixing returned. When he saw Zhao Manshu, he was stunned. Zhao Manshu, on the other hand, stood up enthusiastically and excitedly when she saw him. It was totally out of character.
Kang Lixing smiled awkwardly. After that, toward Kang Sinuo, he felt more relaxed. “Dad…” Kang Sinuo was happy to see Kang Lixing too. She jumped into his arms.
“Hey.” Kang Lixing and Kang Sinuo gave each other a hug before Kang Lixing started to treat Sheng Yang as his niece. “Sinuo, this is your cousin. I’ve mentioned her to you before.”
“I know.” Kang Sinuo was still being perfunctory.
She remembered that every time she came back, her father would listen to her speak for a long time. Why did he lose his patience this time?
After a while, the dishes were done and the family sat down at the round table.
Kang Lixing asked about his daughter’s research overseas.
His daughter had been smart since she was young. She skipped two grades and took her undergraduate studies in the country before going to HF for her graduate studies.
Kang Lixing smiled when he heard what Kang Sinuo said. “Sinuo, you can tell your cousin too.”
Initially, Sheng Yang was focused on eating. She didn’t really care about the eight mistakes the young woman made in her words just now, but unexpectedly, her uncle called out her name again.
