Chapter 412: A Child Prodigy Is Nothing More Than a Gimmick

"Actually, I am a psychologist," Li Sheng said, having looked over both sets of test questions. "I have been professionally studying psychology for over twenty years, and in my view, these two sets of test questions lead to only one conclusion."

"The talk of a 'Child Prodigy' is nothing more than a mere gimmick."

"Based on the host's questions just now and these two sets of test questions, this 'Child Prodigy's' IQ is not actually high, but her answers appear very mature, as if, as if her mental age is very high. However, this is just my personal speculation."

"It is likely a gimmick manufactured by people," Li Sheng said, looking somewhat disappointed after finishing. "I have other matters to attend to, so I will be leaving first."

Suddenly, the scene was in an uproar.

"What is that person doing?" Li Xuan asked, pulling on a staff member. "Why is he spouting nonsense?"

The staff member shook off her hand. "That is the famous Mr. Li Sheng. Those eyes of his can see through everything; you are the one spouting nonsense!"

Li Xuan:...

"What do we do?" She could only ask Shen Lan. "What should we do?"

Life had finally improved because of their 'Child Prodigy' daughter; was fate going to make them return to the impoverished life they had before?

No! She didn't want that!

"How would I know what to do?" Shen Lan was feeling just as agitated inside. "I really don't know why we came!"

If they had just stayed in Huaiyang and continued their small business, they would still be the 'Child Prodigy' parents everyone envied, living a leisurely life.

But from now on, it was hard to say.

Si Rong had guessed this in advance because she had followed this program in her spare time in her past life.

It was a show primarily focused on sensationalism and debunking.

It wasn't a wasted trip; this spectacle was indeed quite entertaining.

"This, this," Han Jiajia's mother whispered to Si Rong. "What exactly are they trying to do by coming on this show?"

"Are they just here to expose their own daughter's 'Child Prodigy' identity?"

Si Rong pursed her lips and smiled. "They probably didn't expect this either."

"Then if Shen Yuan isn't a Child Prodigy, doesn't that mean she deceived us people of Huaiyang? This family of liars!"

"What will our children say in a moment?"

After this program airs, Shen Yuan's reputation will surely plummet, and Han Jiajia's mother didn't want her own daughter to be implicated.

"How about we let the children say this later..."

Si Rong thought this was a good idea. "Fine."

Amidst Shen Yuan's despondency, the recording of the program ended.

However, it wasn't completely over; there was still the segment for comments from her two good friends afterward.

"I am Han Jiajia from the Huaiyang Yuhong Class small group. I am a classmate of Shen Yuan's, and she often brings me delicious snacks."

"I am Jiang Sinian from the Huaiyang Yuhong Class. I am a classmate of Shen Yuan's, and we usually go to class and leave together."

These two statements from the classmates almost made the three members of the Shen family die of anger!

Classmates?

Did they invite them here just to have them say this?

Jiang Sinian was one thing, but how many good things had Han Jiajia eaten from her on a daily basis? Now she was actually backstabbing her.

Human hearts are indeed hard to fathom.

On the way back, Si Rong took her son and did not go back with them, intending to take the bus instead.

Seeing that the day was still early, she planned to go to the Baihuo Shangchang in the city.

Ever since she had her clothing factory, she bought fewer clothes than before.

If she did come out, it was to look for clothes for Jiang Cheng or the two children.

Besides clothes, she also bought a toy for each of the two children.

Jiang Sinian picked out a toy gun for himself and helped his younger sister pick out an exquisite, petite Barbie doll.

"Does your sister like this?" Si Rong asked him.

Don't look at how the brother and sister were often fighting tooth and nail; in fact, Si Nian was a very thoughtful brother.

"There's a girl in class who has one, and that stinky girl has been nagging about it."

Si Rong rubbed his head. "Si Nian is truly a good brother!"

A word of praise made Jiang Sinian immediately puff out his chest high.

Returning home, Jiang Siyu saw the Barbie doll and screamed with joy.

"Thank you, Mom! Thank you, Mom! I love it so much!"

After saying that, Jiang Siyu hugged the Barbie doll and went off to play.

Jiang Sinian:...

She didn't even know to thank him, that stinky girl!

Si Rong rubbed his head; she knew this fellow had inherited Jiang Cheng's occasionally awkward temperament.

"People have mouths not just for eating, but for speaking. Many times, if you don't say anything, others won't know, and you might miss out on some important people or things because of it."

For example, Jiang Cheng; back then, it was because he wasn't good with words that he missed out on his wife for nearly twenty years, becoming a regret for half his life.

Jiang Sinian thought about it and finally decided to tell his sister that the Barbie doll was chosen by him.

"Pfft! I don't believe you!" Jiang Siyu stuck out her tongue. "You big bad guy!"

Jiang Sinian:...

Why does such a thing as twins exist in the world? It's really annoying; he could have just been a single child.

"Believe it or not, anyway, I won't buy you gifts next time."

Actually, she believed him as soon as he said it, but since this fellow always bullied her, she was deliberately trying to make Jiang Sinian anxious.

Not buying her gifts in the future—that wouldn't do.

"Brother, dear brother, I know this is a gift you picked out for me, thank you!"

Just as the corners of Jiang Sinian's mouth curled up, Jiang Siyu hurriedly added, "Remember to buy me gifts next time too!"

Jiang Sinian:...

So it was all for the sake of a gift; what a bratty girl.

The bratty girl Jiang Siyu hugged her Barbie doll and played with Jiang Yue, the two of them taking turns being the mother to the Barbie doll.

"Juzi! Sinian! Daughter-in-law! Come in quickly and eat watermelon!"

Si Rong sliced the watermelon and called the children inside to eat.

No one had any objections to the term "daughter-in-law," because Si Rong had been calling her that ever since Jiang Yue was born, calling her that from childhood to adulthood.

Sometimes when Jiang Yue was playing very engrossed at the Jiang Family, she would follow Jiang Sinian and his sister in calling her "Mom," and no one felt there was anything wrong with it.

The three little ones held the watermelon and sat in a row in the courtyard, the breeze blowing as they happily ate their melon.

Meanwhile, the Shen Family was currently mired in an argument.

Everything was fine when they went out, but upon returning, she was no longer a "Child Prodigy."

"My dear granddaughter!" Shen Mu called to Shen Yuan, "Come quickly! Someone who wants to buy things wants to see you."

Shen Yuan was listless; she didn't know how things had turned out like this today either.

"What are you looking at? Looking for a joke?" Shen Lan sneered, kicked the door open with one foot, and lay down on the bed.

Every time he thought life was about to get better, life would suddenly slap him in the face.

It was as if it were saying, Shen Lan, you don't deserve to live such a good life.

But why? He was a person, a person who longed to be looked up to and respected.

"Li Xuan, what is going on?" Shen Mu asked with a cold face.

Li Xuan wanted to know what was going on too; at this moment, she didn't want to waste words with this old woman at all, only pulling on Shen Yuan's arm to ask, "Xiao Yuan, why did you insist on having that Jiang Sinian go today?"

She had started to feel worried the moment she found out today.

"I wanted to," Shen Yuan said.

Li Xuan instantly flared up and suddenly slapped her across the face, "I am your mother, how dare you talk back to me!"

Shen Yuan gave a bitter smile, "Heh, you are still the same as in the previous life..."

She immediately stopped, but was pressed by Li Xuan, "What previous life?"
