Daisy could sense the unusual atmosphere around her, and awkwardly pulled the corners of her mouth to try to smooth things over: "Aunt Nie, my grandfather..."
"Children should not interrupt when their elders are talking." Mr. Auburn interrupted her calmly, looked directly into Nie Qingru's strong eyes, and said clearly: "I never put personal emotions into the grading. I gave him an A- not for personal reasons, but because I saw the electromagnetic cannon twenty years ago."
20 years ago…
Nie Qingru was extremely shocked: "How is it possible?!"
Mr. Auburn shook his head and took a step forward. His momentum was not as aggressive as hers, but his words were like cutting the heart: "I don't need to lie to you."
"… "
"Twenty years ago, someone showed me a semi-finished electromagnetic gun. No, it should be said that 80% of the electromagnetic gun was completed. She also told me about her ideas and ultimate goal. If she has completed it, the finished product should be more perfect than what I see in the exhibition hall today!"
"Who?" Nie Qingru had a vague thought in his mind.
As soon as this thought came to her mind, it was like a huge rock pressing on her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe and she was unwilling to think about it too much.
Old Mr. Auburn made no secret of his disgust and contempt for her, but he also told her honestly: "Ji Qing."
"!" When Nie Qingru heard the vague shadow in his mind become reality, his body swayed and he barely stood by supporting himself on the car door.
Ji Qing was already involved in electromagnetic guns twenty years ago
How come she never knew this
"She is the most talented student I have ever seen. She is much more talented than the successor you have chosen now. It's a pity that she is too soft-hearted and cares too much about what others think."
Auburn was one of the few people who knew about the incident. He felt no sympathy when he saw her face suddenly turn an inch pale. He just thought it was ridiculous.
He didn't want to accuse anyone of being right or wrong, but just said with a sigh: "If she hadn't died early, with her talent, she would have been world-famous and become a leading master. Her achievements would not be worse than mine, and should be even higher... It's just a pity that few people today have heard of her name."
Some people mistake fish eyes for pearls, but throw the pearls away into worn-out shoes.
Auburn looked at her sarcastically, then looked away for a long time before concluding calmly, "So I didn't mix any personal feelings into the scoring."
"If I bring my own feelings into this, I won't give him a single point! He doesn't even deserve an F from me!"
Nie Qingru's usually decent expression finally showed signs of breaking. He frowned and said in a loud voice, "Mr. Auburn, I respect your status, and I hope you can respect Qixing."
Auburn ignored her warning and said bluntly: "Be a good person before doing anything. I can tell from his eyes that he has bad intentions. Queen, you should pay more attention to him if you have time! He is in his thirties and cannot rely entirely on his sister. Otherwise, he will never be able to convince others."
Nie Qingru's eardrums were buzzing. She held her breath and stood there with an embarrassed expression.
Mr. Auburn opened the car door and said to her calmly, "I won't stay in Continent M for long. I won't say more. I'm leaving first."
"..." Nie Qingru was still holding the car door and didn't say anything.
He had already called his granddaughter: "Daisy, let's go."
Daisy came to her senses, waited for him to get in the car, then turned around and got in. She didn't even say hello to Nie Qingru before leaving.
Nie Qingru watched helplessly as the black car drove past her and drove away!
