Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 1794: Chapter 1787: Monstrous Genius

”When I risked being discovered by the clan that was hunting me again and called Ji Xingyun to ask him to send someone to find your mother, she was lying next to a pile of garbage, covered in wounds, already unconscious. I was enraged at the time and crippled all those who had beaten your mother. They loved to claim territories as kings, right? So I disabled their limbs, letting them claim territories as kings for the rest of their lives.”

”It was then that I learned some things about your mother. Since birth, her parents died in an accident, and she grew up in an orphanage. Later, she was adopted, but not long after, her adoptive parents also died in an accident, leading others to consider her a jinx and drive her out of the house. Since then, your mother became self-reliant, supporting herself on her own.”

The old man took a deep breath at this point: ”Because of this incident, I finally understood how the glutinous rice I ate every day came about. It was all saved by your mother through thrift, while she herself never ate it. She even picked up things others discarded to eat when she was hungry...”

The old man’s eyes gradually turned red and watery: ”Do you know what your mother said to me when she first woke up after Ji Xingyun and I sent her to the hospital? She wasn’t concerned about her health; she asked if I’d eaten glutinous rice and if I was hungry now. A girl battered and bruised, upon waking, didn’t care about her injuries but cared about whether I’d eaten glutinous rice and whether I was full...”

Lu Tianxing listened to the slow words of the old man, and his fists involuntarily tightened. He knew nothing about his mother’s past and never imagined she would have such a past.

Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru also had slightly reddened eyes, stretching out hands to gently hold Lu Tianxing’s hand from both sides, as if to comfort him.

”Because of your mother’s words, I fully realized, and I didn’t want to see her suffer alone, so when I proposed to take her away from Beijing to enjoy life, she refused. She said she didn’t want to bring misfortune to me because she was a jinx.”

A hint of bitterness appeared on the old man’s face. Perhaps he himself didn’t expect such an outcome at the time!

”But I didn’t want your mother to suffer anymore, so I tried every possible way to take her away, constantly finding fortune-tellers to tell her she wasn’t a jinx, but a good person. Finally, persistence paid off, and your mother agreed to go with me and became my daughter.”

The old man’s sorrow and bitterness vanished at this moment, replaced by excitement: ”To prevent that Beijing clan from threatening your mother, with Ji Xingyun’s help, I ultimately took her away from Beijing and returned to Qin Island. Tianxing, do you know? The years with your mother were the happiest of my life. Even when I broke through to the Late Stage of Mythical, I was never this happy. More importantly, I discovered your mother’s talent for photographic memory. No matter what it was, as long as she saw it, she remembered it all, without missing a word.”

The old man’s face showed immense pride. For parents, the success of their children is their greatest pride in life.

”Sigh.”

Listening to the old man, Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but gasp. Photographic memory might be a special talent for ordinary people, but for Martial Artists, it is definitely a divine skill. Imagine if you wanted to learn a martial art the other party wouldn’t teach you, but you could memorize their moves, effectively copying their martial skills; it’s mind-bogglingly terrifying.

”When I discovered your mother’s memory ability, I was ecstatic. If I imparted all my skills to her, she would surely surpass me and become unstoppable in the future, and no one would ever bully her again.”

”But when I told your mother this idea, she refused, saying she didn’t like learning martial arts but wanted to engage in business, because she could earn lots and lots of money to help many, many people.”

”When I knew about your mother’s intentions, I didn’t refuse her request. Instead, I hired top global business elites through Ji Xingyun to teach your mother.”

”Master, have some tea.” At this moment, Cangwu handed a cup of tea to the old man.

The old man took the cup and sipped gently, then continued: ”At the time, I thought your mother’s memory ability was already extraordinary, but as she learned from these world-class business elites, I realized how terrifying she truly was. Calling her a prodigy isn’t hyperbole. I hired eighteen business elites to teach her, estimating a minimum of five years to master, given her memory ability.”

”Yet, her prowess far exceeded my expectations. In just two and a half years—half the time I’d estimated—she learned everything from the eighteen business elites, integrating her knowledge completely, capable of critical thinking and application. Moreover, when these business elites encountered unresolved commercial issues, they would consult with your mother for advice, bringing me immense joy. She could now pursue her dreams.”

As they listened, Lu Tianxing, Bai Zhiqing, and Lin Qianru exchanged glances, seeing the undisguised shock in each other’s eyes. Even without experiencing these events, they could deduce the scale.

Given the old man’s abilities, coupled with Ji Xingyun, the business elites they found were definitely true elites, not impostors. A single elite’s knowledge could take an ordinary person a lifetime to learn. But now, Jiang Hongyan acquired everything from eighteen elites in just two and a half years, not only mastering it but also showing ingenuity, allowing these elites to highly praise and even seek her counsel.

What kind of genius does it take to achieve this? Perhaps the old man’s words are true; this isn’t something a mere genius can accomplish—only a prodigy can.
