Chapter 675: The Tiger Father Has No Dog Daughter
Top students like playing with other top students; this isn’t a joke.
Because they share the same ambition and common goals.
Who wouldn’t want a friend who understands you and knows what you’re thinking without words?
Many people sought out this guesthouse, wanting to meet her father. Yet, every person who heard of her father’s passing left immediately, disappointed, without another word.
Otherwise, they simply didn’t believe her and repeatedly tested whether she was lying.
No one, like Qin Nanyu, upon hearing of her father’s death, showed such deep sorrow and compassion in his eyes.
He genuinely respected her father, treating the elderly man as his mentor, a respected elder, not like those despicable scoundrels who only wanted to use her father.
"You agreed so readily, aren’t you worried that I might just be exploiting my father’s fame to trap you?" Zhang Lingying asked with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
There was a hint of testing him, but more of curiosity.
No one had ever dared to entrust her with such a difficult experiment as he did.
Ordinarily, people would judge her abilities by her age.
Convinced that she was so young, she must not be anything special, they didn’t even give her a chance before drawing their conclusions.
"A tiger does not father a dog of a daughter. Professor Zhang was obsessed with his research all his life, and suddenly, in his later years, he adopted a daughter. You can’t be of mediocre talent," Qin Nanyu said indifferently.
Based on Qin Nanyu’s understanding of Professor Zhang, he spent almost every day in the lab, and the money he earned was either used for research expenses or donated.
Such a person with great love wouldn’t be fixated on whether or not he had descendants.
There is no throne to inherit in the family, and after death, it all amounts to a mound of yellow earth.
Why on earth would he need to adopt a child then?
The greatest possibility was that Professor Zhang had accidentally discovered something exceptional about Zhang Lingying. Thinking she was a promising seedling, he couldn’t bear to waste her talent and decided to take her home and nurture her personally.
"If my father knew there was someone in this world who understood him so well, he would definitely find comfort in his heart," Zhang Lingying acknowledged Qin Nanyu’s existence for the first time.
It was a silent surrender.
She no longer heard of such a breathtaking, brilliant young man from her father’s tales; she was witnessing him with her own eyes.
His presence truly dimmed the brilliance of others around him.
"You haven’t told me what conditions you require to agree to help me," Qin Nanyu raised an eyebrow and asked.
Zhang Lingying’s eyes flickered; originally, she had other ideas, but now...
"I want to go back with you to the Qin Family Villa and live in your house."
"..."
A silence fell in the living room.
Neither Qin Nanyu nor Ji Weitian expected that the condition she had been contemplating for so long was simply this.
She clearly had better options and could demand greater benefits.
But in the end, her choice was completely baffling.
Zhang Lingying: "What’s the matter? Is it inconvenient? As far as I know, Young Master Yu, famous in the business world, isn’t married. Would me staying at the Qin Family Villa make you feel uncomfortable?"
It took a while for Ji Weitian to snap out of her daze from her words, vaguely sensing Zhang Lingying’s interest in Qin Nanyu.
She felt somewhat uneasy.
Seeing Zhang Lingying watching Qin Nanyu with admiring eyes and smiling at him, her heart ached as if pricked by needles, a tingling sort of pain.
