Chapter 230 - The Rare Condition
Chapter 230 – The Rare Condition
"I was forgetting about your family," She exaggeratedly shook her head, "I mean…How can I forget something so important? These headlines are currently trending all over the world. Won't they come to badger you now? That you ruined their reputation, their image, and that you are a dark spot on their blue blood," She clicked her tongue.
Steward Gu was astonished. It seems like Young Mistress was aware of the Master's family background. He should have expected this.
Jun Zixuan could already feel a headache just at the mere thought of it, "They won't be so dramatic, would they?"
Yu Mei shrugged, "This usually happens in novels though. I don't know if the Jun Family is equally melodramatic as well."
"Unfortunately, they are," Steward Gu interrupted them.
Both of them turned to look at the man, "Your father called a few minutes ago," The man continued.
Jun Zixuan narrowed his eyes.
"He probably saw the news. So, he has summoned you to Amaranthine."
"Tell him I am not going. If they still bother you about it, then give them some trouble. They are very idle lately," Jun Zixuan sat on the bed before leaning back on the headboard.
'So handsome…So hot…' Her inner self was already cheering for him with two glittery pom pom in her hands.
Yu Mei couldn't help but laugh at his family in her heart. What will they feel when they come to know that the boy whom they have labeled as a mute, fool, and trash is the one who has snatched their influence from right under their nose and established himself in Amaranthine?
What will they feel when they know that the idiot in their eyes is the ingenious CEO of Eminence to the world?
"Alright, Master…"
'Ring Ring Ring'
Steward Gu speechlessly looked at the caller ID on his phone before answering the call. A few seconds later, he hesitantly handed the phone to Jun Zixuan.
Jun Zixuan raised an eyebrow before putting the phone on speaker.
"Don't bother trying to find excuses. Your grandparents want you back here within two days. I will make arrangements for your flight and everything else. If you still aren't ready to come here, then I will send someone to your mother and ask her to convince you," An authoritative and cold voice spoke from the other side.
Jun Zixuan's gaze darkened, "Don't bother making flight arrangements. I'll deal with it," He hung up the call without listening to the man any further.
Yu Mei sighed. She grabbed the phone from his hand and passed it to Steward Gu.
She waved her hand and the man bowed before he walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
Since she never had parents, she was not aware of how it should be. But she was sure that this is not the way a father should treat his child. What's so great about imposing your decisions like that? You didn't even ask him how he was doing, whether he was sick or healthy, happy or not.
But Jun Zixuan appeared very unbothered by that. As if he didn't have any expectations from his father.
"So, are you going there?" She sat beside him before holding his hand.
He nodded, "I want to end this for once and for all."
She blinked. That was the best option they had. The way his father mentioned 'sending someone to his mother', it sounded more like a threat. Not something like a death threat, though. It was kind of emotional blackmailing.
Shen Lihua was sensitive about matters related to her husband and Jun Family and they seem to know how to make full use of that. But what they were not aware of was the fact that the woman was going through the treatment of Leukemia. She was on her medications.
For her to have a proper recovery, she needed some peace and happiness and not stress. So, what Jun Zixuan decided was the most logical decision at a time like this.
If he did not agree to go there today, then they will keep badgering him or his mother one way or another.
"How do they treat Boyan?" She asked curiously.
"They don't like our mom so they obviously don't like us. But, he is treated better than me."
"So, Boyan visits them?" Since he is a student of Crystal University and it is situated in Amaranthine, he must be in contact with his family.
"Rarely. Only when he is asked to go there.''
"Oh," It must be their bias because of what they thought regarding Jun Zixuan, about him being an abnormal child. They even doubted that he was not their blood.
Jun Zishen, Jun Zixuan's father looked like his elder brother. With resemblances like that, that family must be blind to think of such nonsense stuff.
After Shen Lihua informed her about Jun Zixuan's special condition during his childhood and his exceptionally high IQ, she did her own research on it with Shi Luo's help. And their conclusion turned out to be the same as the doctor's who had diagnosed little Zixuan back then.
While speech delay in children is not that much of an issue, there can be severe underlying reasons at times.
People assume that language delay or speech disorder will have a long-term impact on a child's ability to excel in school and beyond. But a lesser-known condition called Einstein syndrome proves this is not always the case.
In this condition, the child experiences late onset of language but demonstrates giftedness in other areas of analytical thinking. A child with Einstein syndrome eventually speaks with no issues as he or she grows up but remains ahead of the curve in other areas.
This syndrome is named after the certified genius Albert Einstein and-according to some biographers— a late-talker who did not speak full sentences before the age of 5.
Considering Jun Zixuan's sharp memory where he did not forget many events of his childhood despite not being able to speak at that time and his abnormally high IQ, both these conditions are coinciding already.
