His Genius Wife is a Superstar

About a couple of days earlier, the media and some well-connected people in different fields had detected the arrival of some notable international figures in the country. Since most of these notable figures belonged to highly specialized fields, they weren't household names. However, people working in their fields knew exactly who they were, and of course, admired them very much.

Among the group, there were two people who had worldwide recognition and were considered as celebrities in their own respective fields.

The first one was a famous young beauty in the art world, Ashandra Knightson. She was also quite popular in the fashion world as a designer. However, she was most well-known for her breathtaking paintings.

Her Chinese fans almost went crazy with excitement when they heard that she arrived in the country. They tried investigating where she was staying but her whereabouts remained unknown.

What was Ashandra Knightson doing here?

There were lots of speculations about her purpose in coming here. This was the second time this year that she came to the country. People remembered that she attended Orchidia Beauty's grand launch where it was revealed that she was friends with the owner. Since everyone now knew that Iris Long was the beauty company's owner, it meant that the two were friends.

People who knew this connection discussed online.

"Maybe Ashandra came to visit Iris Long again."

"That's possible. Iris Long has recently limited her public appearances to a bare minimum possibly due to health reasons. Maybe Ashandra is visiting because she's concerned for her friend's health and wellbeing."

"Goddess Ashandra is the best!"

Of course, there would always be some people who just had to say something negative in any online discussions.

"Do you all seriously believe that crap about Ashandra Knightson being friends with Iris Long? I'm telling you that's bullshit! I bet Iris Long only became acquainted with an important person like Ashandra Knightson because she's CEO Jin Liwei's fiancée."

"That's right! Iris Long is a nobody compared to someone of Ashandra Knightson's stature. Well, I don't really know who this Ashandra Knightson is but I did a quick web search and read that she's a super famous artist. There's no way that someone important like her will be genuine friends with Iris Long."

Within minutes, the Slippers Army led by the new fearsome duo KittyBaby and PantherBaby who turned out to be actual siblings in real life descended in droves and trolled all of these Iris Long naysayers into embarrassing smithereens.

At the same time that Ashandra Knightson's fans in the art and fashion worlds were busy trying to gather more news about her stay in the country, the leaders of almost all the important fields in running society were shocked to learn of the second notable figure's arrival in the country. His arrival was quieter and didn't cause an online stir like Ashandra Knightson but it definitely rocked the leaders and the elites at the top.

Professor Erwant Dupont, headmaster of the legendary school of geniuses Cross Academy, was a highly respected and illustrious figure admired by many leaders and elites all over the world. He enjoyed the same treatment as members of royalty or leaders of sovereign states because of the unshakeable independent power that Cross Academy held for more than two centuries.

A few people were aware that he also briefly visited the country last year for a private business. As far as they knew, Professor Erwan Dupont didn't meet anyone of importance during those few days that he stayed in the country last year even though many impressive figures including officials extended personal invitations to meet up with him. If he did, word would've surely spread because nobody could resist bragging about meeting him. Many considered meeting him to be one of the highest honours in the world.

Those who knew that Ashandra Knightson was a Cross Academy student connected her with Professor Erwan Dupont. Perhaps something big was happening in the country that not many were aware of.

Why did these two Cross Academy geniuses come to the country?

Some of the smarter ones tried asking for information from Sir Lu Jianhong knowing of his direct connection to Cross Academy as an alumnus. However, they couldn't get a hold of him. They even tried reaching him through Jin Corporation but soon discovered that Jin Liwei took a short break and couldn't be reached either.

All of this made people suspicious and more curious about what was really going on. But no matter how hard they tried digging for more information, their efforts were all futile. It felt like someone was intentionally blocking them from learning the truth. It was frustrating, but in the end, they had to stop their search for fear of offending Cross Academy.

Jin Family's Old House.

Boisterous laughter boomed in the living area as Grandpa Lu bragged to Huang Yuyan about his new granddaughter-in-law. [This novel is a contracted work with W e b n o v e l . c o m (remove spaces).

"Haohao brought Jinjing girl to my mansion this past Saturday! We had an amazing dinner feast! The only problem is that the girl eats like a bird. I told my pinheaded grandson that he needs to fatten her up a bit so that her body will be able to safely bear my great-grandbaby soon. And do you know what that dunderhead told me? Hmph! He said, 'Don't interfere with my relationship, old man. Jinjing and I know what we're doing. We're already adults.' Bah! If those kids really know what they're doing, why haven't they given me a great-grandbaby yet? I want to know!"

"Zihao is right," Grandma Li's slightly cold voice said as she descended the staircase with great elegance. "Don't interfere with your grandson's relationship too much, you old buffoon, or you'll have to wait longer to finally get your great-grandchild. Kids these days don't like being pressured."

"I like Long Jinjing," Huang Yuyan chimed in.

"That girl is actually a lot like you, Yuyan!" Grandpa Lu said.

Grandma Li nodded. "Indeed."

"Oh." Huang Yuyan thought about what they said but still couldn't figure out how she was similar to Long Jinjing.

Grandma Li glanced at the huge grandfather clock. "We need to leave or we'll be late."
