Chapter 22: Chapter 22 My Sister Is Simply a Genius! Chapter 22: Chapter 22 My Sister Is Simply a Genius! Shen Yurou shamelessly stuck around the Shen Family for dinner.
After all, she was raised by Mrs. Shen, and when she wasn’t causing trouble, the Shen family couple and their four sons mostly just ignored her and didn’t do much else.
After dinner, Shen Dongli gathered the four sons of the Shen Family to discuss Qingwu’s birthday party.
Shen Boyi said, “Our house is a bit small, and Qingwu’s birthday party might feel a bit cramped for her. Why don’t we buy a house now? I noticed the king tower at Leisure Inn is pretty good—it’s a thousand square meters and only one billion. We can just put it under Qingwu’s name.”
Shen Dongli agreed, “Leisure Inn is barely acceptable. The luxury homes in Beijing are getting worse every year. Next year we should go to Italy to buy Qingwu a castle. This year feels too petty, but your grandparents’ health isn’t good enough for them to travel abroad.”
Qingwu: “…”
Shen Zhongshuang suggested, “Let’s import fresh flowers from Bulgaria for the venue. Since Qingwu loves roses, we should make her a crown with a Pink Diamond for her birthday.”
Qingwu: “…”
Shen Shushan said, “We’ll invite all the media, live stream everything with helicopters and drones, and tell the whole world she’s the princess of our Shen Family! As for the fireworks display, use the set from Queen Elizabeth’s birthday. I’ve also got the royal orchestra lined up. Master Ye Yi has agreed to tailor a gown for Qingwu!”
Qingwu: “…”
Was this extravagant arrangement just for her birthday?
Qingwu was about to decline when Shen Shaojia pressed her hand.
“This year is rushed, so it might feel inadequate, Qingwu. I know you’ve never had a birthday celebration at the Lin Family before, but that’s okay. We’ll make it up to you and give you the best of everything in the world.”
Zuo Wanjun was on the verge of tears.
And all this—she still felt it was too rushed and couldn’t give her precious daughter the best experience.
Yet her precious daughter had never even had a birthday before!
“Sweetheart, Mom and Dad are sorry. Why didn’t you tell us you were living so poorly before?”
Zuo Wanjun had a classic beauty look, with the Zuo Family being a scholarly family. Zuo Wanjun had elegant features and eyebrows, with affectionate eyes. When she cried, it was as delicate as a tearful pear blossom.
The four sons of the Shen Family quickly comforted her, flustered.
Shen Shaojia patted her mouth, “It’s all my fault for saying the wrong thing and making Mom upset!”
Qingwu grabbed Zuo Wanjun’s hand, helping wipe away her tears.
“I’m doing well and haven’t suffered.”
Zuo Wanjun knew her daughter was trying to comfort her, feeling both heartache and affection.
Shen Shaojia knew that Zuo Wanjun would have a headache if she cried, so she quickly changed the topic.
“I’ll take care of the fireworks show at the party. Our lab recently developed fireworks that are odorless and non-toxic, with some pretty cool effects. I’m sure my little sister will love it!”
Most of what came out of Shen Shaojia’s lab was directly supplied to the state.
When she said something was good, it meant you couldn’t buy it for any price elsewhere!
“I’ll go grab my computer to file a report and show you the models!”
All her experiments were crucial and required an intense level of focus.
Her data was extremely important; even the smallest deviation could cause irreversible loss and harm.
As soon as she returned to her study and opened the computer, Shen Shaojia frowned!
Her data was definitely off!
“Who just entered my study?”
Zuo Wanjun looked up at Shen Shaojia, who was holding her computer with a serious expression, “What happened? Mom and Qingwu just went inside for a moment to change the flowers in your study.”
Shen Shaojia frowned, “Someone tampered with my computer data.”
Not a bit of discrepancy was allowed in her computer data!
Shen Yurou was practically turning green with envy hearing about Qingwu’s birthday arrangements.
“Everyone knows you can’t mess with Shaojia’s computer, except maybe Qingwu wasn’t aware. It was probably Qingwu who accidentally fiddled with Shaojia’s computer. Don’t worry, Qingwu, it must have been unintentional. Everyone will forgive you!”
Qingwu: “…”
Why would she mess with Shen Shaojia’s computer?
“It wasn’t me.”
Shen Yurou, in a sweet and irritating tone, continued her manipulation, “Qingwu, just admit it already. Shaojia’s data is very important, and even the slightest alteration can lead to big problems. You should admit it even if it was by accident.”
Qingwu furrowed her brow slightly and repeated, “It wasn’t me.”
Zuo Wanjun nodded in agreement, “We really didn’t touch your computer. Mom can vouch for that.”
Shen Yurou rolled her eyes.
“Mom can’t shield Qingwu just because she’s newly home; it’s bad for her growth. Grandma always taught me to be honest and trustworthy, how could Mom do this?”
Zuo Wanjun was feeling conflicted.
She clearly remembered that neither she nor Qingwu had touched Shen Shaojia’s computer. But the data on the computer couldn’t possibly change itself, right?
Shen Yurou grinned slightly.
Shen Shaojia valued that data more than anything else; if Qingwu had tampered with it, she’d definitely go all out with Qingwu!
If the two of them ended up fighting each other, then she’d be the only daughter in the Shen Family!
From now on, whether it was a birthday party or the Pei Family’s marriage proposal, it would all be hers!
Shen Shaojia nodded.
“I trust Qingwu. If she says it wasn’t her, then it wasn’t. But you… Yurou, if I recall, you lingered in my study for a while before dinner. Did you mess with my computer?”
Shen Yurou’s expression turned panicked!
“No, not me! I know not to touch Shaojia’s computer. How could it be me? Qingwu is the only one unaware of this in the family, so…”
Shen Shaojia, with a frosty face, had sharp eyes that glinted with cold light.
Despite her young age, she held a high position, carrying a demeanor that intimidated her subordinates. Even a single glance made Shen Yurou shiver all over with goosebumps!
“My study has surveillance. We’ll know once we check it.”
Shen Yurou: “…”
What the hell was wrong with Shen Shaojia?!
Installing surveillance even in the study—how little trust did she have in this family?
Qingwu’s voice sounded serenely, “Sister, need some help? Mind if I take a look at your data?”
Shen Yurou was full of disdain.
She couldn’t even understand Shen Shaojia’s messy data, and yet Qingwu, this country bumpkin, thought she could?
“Qingwu, Shaojia’s data isn’t child’s play. You won’t understand it.”
Shen Shaojia never allowed anyone to view her data!
Shen Shaojia hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
“Okay.”
It was her sister’s first request, and she really couldn’t bring herself to refuse!
Moreover, her sister probably wouldn’t understand the data, so showing her was not against any rules.
Qingwu took the laptop and swiftly scanned the complex and tedious data with a serious demeanor.
She selected one piece of data and looked at Shen Shaojia, “Sister, is this the part with the issue?”
Shen Shaojia leaned over, astonished, “Yes, how did you figure it out? This experimental data uses numerous control groups, and fixing it might be a bit troublesome. I should find time to visit the lab.”
Qingwu’s slender fingers tapped across the keyboard, producing a series of crisp sounds.
“Is it this data?”
Shen Shaojia: !!!
“Yes, yes, it is! How did you know? This value is complicated. I couldn’t even recall it!”
Qingwu nonchalantly stated, “I calculated it. You laid out the previous data, and with a few formulas, it was easy. Sister, you just forgot because you were too anxious.”
Shen Shaojia was overjoyed!
The four sons of the Shen Family grinned foolishly at Qingwu.
Their sister turned out to be so brilliant, practically a genius!
Shen Yurou: “…”
Qingwu spoke of things she didn’t even remotely understand, and surely, it was deceit. How could she possibly calculate Shen Shaojia’s data? It was all Shen Shaojia’s act to cover for her!
She had completely forgotten it was her who had tampered with the data.
Shen Yurou’s face twisted as she stealthily slipped out when no one was watching…
The family hadn’t noticed one person missing.
Shen Shaojia showed Qingwu her latest experiment results. The moment the fireworks soared into the sky, flower petals would scatter, forming an extraordinarily romantic sea of flowers!
Amidst the sea of flowers, several fireworks spelled out bright and dazzling words!
“Qingwu, Sister loves you!”
