Chapter 3264: You're the One Who Wants To Know The Answer. That Person Is Ji Qing!
Daisy felt the unusual atmosphere, and the corners of her mouth twitched awkwardly as she tried to smooth things over. "Aunt Nie, my grandfather..."
"Children shouldn't interrupt when their elders are talking," Mr. Auburn interrupted her calmly. He looked straight at Nie Qingru's unyielding gaze and said clearly, "I've never put personal emotions in my scoring. I gave him an A+, not for personal reasons, but because I saw the same electromagnetic cannon 20 years ago."
20 years ago...
Nie Qingru was shocked. "How is this possible?!"
Mr. Auburn shook his head and took a step forward. His aura was not as aggressive as hers, but his words were heart-piercing. "I have no reason to lie to you."
"20 years ago, someone showed me a semi-finished electromagnetic cannon model. No, it should be said it was already 80% completed. She even told me about her concept and final goal. If she completed it, the finished product would be even more perfect than what we saw in the exhibition hall today!"
"Who is it?" Nie Qingru had a vague idea.
As soon as this thought surfaced, it was as if a huge rock was pressing down on her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe. She did not want to think too deeply about it.
Old Mr. Auburn did not hide his disgust and disdain for her. "Ji Qing."
Nie Qingru's thought became reality. Swaying, she put her hand on the car door to barely remain standing.
Ji Qing was involved in the electromagnetic cannon 20 years ago?
Why did she never know about this?
"She's the most talented student I've ever seen. She's much more talented than the successor you've chosen. Unfortunately, she was too soft-hearted and cared too much about others' opinions."
Auburn was one of the few people who knew about the matter back then. Seeing her face suddenly turn an inch pale, he didn't feel any sympathy for her. He only felt that it was ridiculous.
He did not want to blame anyone. He just sighed and said, "If she hadn't died early, she would have become a world-famous master with her talent. Her achievements wouldn't be worse than mine. She should be above me... It's a pity that not many people know of her name now."
Some people were treated as treasures and vice versa.
Auburn looked at her mockingly. After a long time, he looked away and concluded calmly, "So I didn't mix in any personal feelings when I scored it.
"If I did, I wouldn't give him a single point! He's not even worthy of an F for me!"
Nie Qingru's expression, which always remained proper, finally showed signs of cracking. She frowned and raised her voice. "Mr. Auburn, I respect your status and hope you can respect Qixing."
However, Auburn did not take her warning seriously, and he bluntly said, "Be a proper person before you do anything else. The way I see it, he's up to no good. If the Empress has the time, you should interfere more! He's already in his thirties, he shouldn't rely entirely on his elder sister. Otherwise, he can't convince anyone of his ability."
Nie Qingru's eardrums were buzzing. She held her breath and stood rooted to the ground with an ugly expression.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Mr. Auburn opened the car door and said calmly, "I won't stay in Continent M for long. I won't say anything else. I'll take my leave first."
Nie Qingru was still holding onto the car door, not saying a word.
Mr. Auburn called out to his granddaughter, "Daisy, let's go."
Daisy returned to her senses and waited for him to get into the car before also entering. She didn't even greet Nie Qingru as they left.
Nie Qingru watched as the black car drove past her.
