His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 175

Chapter 175 - My Special Fish

"Well? Why aren’t you answering? Are you single or not? I want to know!" Grandpa Lu continued to ask when Iris failed to reply immediately.

After a few more seconds of hesitation, she finally answered, "I’m not single, Grandpa Lu. I have a boyfriend."

"What?!" He looked surprised and...enraged. _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}

"Yes, it’s true," Professor Schwarz said. "Akio and I already met him."

Professor Hisakawa nodded. "He’s not bad."

Grandpa Lu scowled. He asked Iris. "How long have you been in a relationship with your—hmph—boyfriend?"

"A few months."

"Oh?" Grandpa Lu’s eyes lit up. "Not that long yet! Ahaha! I see. Good!"

Iris tilted her head to the side, confused.

"Xiulan my girl, you’re still very young. Not to mention you’re beautiful, talented and a Cross Academy student! You should allow yourself to explore the world and meet lots of other people first. I’m sure that you like your boyfriend now, but what do you know? You might meet someone else who you’ll like more than him in the future. So don’t be so hasty! What would you do if you discover that your boyfriend is not the right man for you? As the saying goes, there are plenty more fish in the sea!"

Although Iris agreed with Grandpa Lu’s words, she still couldn’t help but feel defensive of Jin Liwei. "Grandpa Lu, I know that there are plenty more fish in the sea, but right now my boyfriend is my special fish. I like him very much!"

Grandpa Lu was slightly taken aback by her strong-willed response. It seemed like the girl had quite the stubborn streak. Not bad. He inwardly approved of it. However, he was unhappy that she seemed to really like her boyfriend. At this rate, matchmaking her to his grandson would be more challenging than he first thought.

’Dammit! Who’s her boyfriend? That bastard! How dare he get his claws on this girl before my Haohao?! Should I investigate him and then scare him off?! Well, a boyfriend is not a husband so my Haohao still has a chance!"

While Grandpa Lu was mentally cursing Iris’ boyfriend, they arrived at a wide veranda overlooking a beautiful and lush rose garden. They sat on comfortable barrel chairs. A butler appeared and began serving them refreshments.

Iris listened in fascination to her instructors’ conversations about their rich experiences at Cross Academy. Although she was also an alumnus of the academy in her previous life, her education was extremely cloistered. Her interactions were limited to only her instructors and Professor Erwan Dupont who she also met as Evelina.

And because of her special family background, Professor Dupont also made sure to limit the people who knew about her even within the academy itself. Although most of the Cross Academy students and alumni were trustworthy, the Vetrovs had many enemies. It was better to be safe than sorry.

This was why she wasn’t familiar with her current instructors before meeting them, especially Grandpa Lu who seemed to be on the same level as Professor Dupont when it came to standing among the Cross Academy alumni.

Then the conversation moved to Iris’ progress in her studies.

Professor Schwarz: "Xiulan is improving very quickly. I actually have to revise my lesson plans several times because her level is increasing by leaps and bounds."

Professor Hisakawa: "Same here. Xiulan’s comprehension skills are perhaps the best I’ve ever encountered among my students. She just absorbs everything. That’s why Kalisha and I are thinking that maybe she’s ready to apply her skills in real life."

"Tsk tsk. Don’t you know that coddling your students too much will stunt their development? You’ll never know what she’s really capable of if you’re afraid of throwing her in hot water! A restrained genius is no genius at all!"

"Please let me do it," Iris spoke up.

The two professors looked at her. Seeing her determined expression, they could only sigh.

Professor Schwarz: "Are you sure?"

Iris nodded. "I want to do it!"

"Ahahaha! Very good, Xiulan my girl!" Grandpa Lu’s delighted voice boomed. "That’s the spirit! A Cross Academy student must have that kind of guts! Or else I’ll have to blame that Dupont bastard for weakening the academy with spineless recruits!"

Professor Hisakawa cleared his throat awkwardly.

"Don’t worry, my girl! Grandpa will make sure you’re more than ready and fully-equipped for your test during the conference! Leave everything to Grandpa! I’ll teach you all about business so you never stumble on any unfamiliar terms when you’re interpreting or translating. Then a time will come that you’ll participate in the conference as a business leader and not just as an interpreter!"

Iris started to feel excited. She bowed her head respectfully. "Please guide me, Grandpa Lu."

"Of course!" Grandpa Lu felt pleased with her. "By the way, I think some Canadian representatives will be present in the conference. You’ll likely meet some of them. Have you been to Canada? It’s nice and fresh out there. My grandson lives in Toronto. He’s handsome and charming. I think the two of you will get along well."
