Chapter 263: Chapter 263: The Big Rice Bug Edward Stephens!
Daisy Ginger slowly blinked her eyes.
What Eve was talking about was a field she didn’t understand, but she saw the regret in Eve’s eyes.
"Edward is the smartest person I’ve ever met," Eve sighed, still amazed by the Edward Stephens of the past, "We’re a tech company specializing in artificial intelligence. In our research institute, there was no shortage of geniuses, but when he first came, he solved a problem that stumped our lab for a whole decade. Our mentor valued him greatly and intended to groom him as a successor, but then one day, he suddenly dropped out... When I saw him in Banyan City, accomplishing nothing, I was truly disappointed... That’s why I took it out on Miss Ginger, my apologies."
Daisy didn’t really understand much about artificial intelligence, but she did understand that her husband used to be quite impressive.
Her tail lifted slightly, feeling secretly pleased, then she modestly replied, "I’ll go back and ask my husband."
Although she felt that, given Edward Stephens’ current intent to stay home and raise the kids, he probably wasn’t interested in inheriting any mentor’s legacy...
She really wanted to tell this fellow student who had high hopes for Edward that the genius among geniuses she envisioned, who could change the world, was now just a lazy bum here with her...
And living off her, at that.
Thinking this, Daisy felt a bit guilty.
She cleared her throat lightly, "I’m leaving now."
Eve nodded, reminding her once again, "Director Ginger, you must talk to Edward!"
"Got it, got it," Daisy replied dismissively.
During dinner, Daisy brought up what Eve had said at the table.
Edward Stephens listened, chin resting in hand, looking indifferent.
"After finishing my MBA, I had nothing to do, so I just went in for fun," Edward said blandly, "Lost interest long ago."
Daisy silently swallowed a mouthful of rice ball.
Perhaps there are just some people in this world who, no matter what they dabble in, reach heights that ordinary people can’t attain in a lifetime...
The feeling of having one’s intelligence completely outclassed is really hard to accept!
She always thought she was about as smart as him...
Clearly, sometimes he seemed quite foolish?
Daisy’s feelings were a bit complicated.
Edward wasn’t sure what he was thinking, eating for a while, then suddenly looked up at her and said, "Don’t get too deep in conversation with them, those people are really boring, nothing interesting."
Daisy also wasn’t interested in his group of high-minded old classmates, so she nodded obediently, "Mm."
Edward glanced up at her, seeing her being so obedient, he couldn’t help but smile and reached out to pinch her cheek.
For him, many things in this world—status, wealth, glory, the admiration and envy of others—he had experienced all of it by the time he was twenty-four.
Bland and tasteless.
He came to Banyan City, exiled by the entire family; after he was diagnosed with a hereditary disease, all his achievements were rendered meaningless.
Aside from his mother, in their eyes, he was probably just a dead man.
Receiving a passionate and pure love like Daisy’s in his life, how could he be willing to return to that grotesque and pathological world?
He just wanted to deceive her well enough, hopefully for a lifetime.
