Transmigrated as the Ex-Wife of a Heroic Man

Chapter 1093: Disdain Us for Being Stupid

Hengyang had given her enough face, so she had to return him as well.

After dinner, Ji Fang quickly left, while Liu Chun and Liu Qiang stayed to play puzzles with their younger sister. Sixth Sister stood aloof, arms crossed, watching the two adults acting silly. She had no interest in joining them.

Liu Qiang sidled up to Liu Chun and whispered, “What’s up with the Su family’s Sixth Sister? She seems different from other kids.”

“She probably thinks we’re idiots,” Liu Chun replied, familiar with Sixth Sister’s cunning nature. She was not only smart but also had top-notch mental acuity. He had heard stories from Trinity Village about how she remained calm even while eavesdropping on human traffickers. She was no ordinary child.

Liu Qiang was puzzled. “Disdain us? Are we stupid?”

“Haha!” Liu Chun laughed proudly. “Do you know who the fifth child of the Su family is? Most of the people in the capital know, right?”

“I know! Are you saying the Su family has another genius like Su Jun?” Liu Qiang exclaimed, shocked. “That’s impossible!”

“Professor Su’s IQ is rare. A daughter matching his standard is a miracle. Could there be a second one?” Liu Qiang mused.

“If that’s the case, everyone needs to reevaluate their view of the Su family. With such talent, they are bound to soar,” Liu Chun said meaningfully. “This isn’t the second one. The Sixth Sister’s intelligence only ranks third in the Su family. The second smartest is Fourth Sister, Su Xue.”

“Su Xue?” Liu Qiang, new to the provincial city, was curious.

“Yes, she’s in her first year of high school in Clearwater County. I heard she could take the college entrance examination directly.”

Although Hengyang never discussed his family outside, Liu Chun had observed them closely. The more Liu Qiang listened, the more astonished he became until he suddenly started gloating.

“What are you laughing at?” Liu Chun asked.

“I’m laughing at someone who thinks too highly of himself. If he can’t see the situation clearly, he’ll suffer in the future.”

Liu Chun nodded, understanding. “That’s why Hengyang hasn’t made a strong move. His wife’s family can handle things and will become powerful. There’s no need for him to intervene now.”

It was better for them to take revenge on their own. Hengyang’s role was to help the Su family gain the time they needed to grow. That was all.

By the time the Su family’s guests left, Ji Fang had arrived at Zhou Hengguang’s residence.

He wasn’t lying; Zhou Hengguang’s family did have friends visiting, including several big shots from the province’s construction industry and experts in geomatics. With the bridge construction set for next year, the geological survey was already underway, and Zhou Hengguang, the chief engineer, was becoming increasingly busy.

When Ji Fang arrived, the discussion had ended, and a group of people was leaving. These were respected figures, and their presence was intimidating. As they passed Ji Fang, they all glared at him with disapproval, as if he were a seductress distracting the emperor from his duties.

Ji Fang felt wronged but couldn’t say anything. The last to leave was a famous bridge design expert who glared at Ji Fang before turning to Zhou Hengguang.

“I heard you haven’t been to the design institute for over a month. What should I say about you? Even if you’re busy, you can’t neglect your job. Building the bridge across the river is a century-long project that benefits the country and the people. I don’t know what else could be more important than this,” he admonished.
