After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 161

Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Trashy Dad Starts Making Trouble

No matter who the little girl in front of him was to Lan Xing, it was enough to excite Peng Hongyuan.

After all, in the years of email exchanges, although they had never met, and he did not know Lan Xing’s real name, gender, or age, he had long considered Lan Xing his one and only true friend in this lifetime.

If this little girl was truly Lan Xing’s granddaughter, he must treat her well.

So, Peng Hongyuan immediately approached, barely containing his excitement and said, "Little girl, are you the one who told the security that Lan Xing is looking for me? What is your relationship with Lan Xing?"

Lu Sheng, dressed modestly today, hesitated upon seeing Peng Hongyuan before her and said, "Uncle Peng, I’m not related to Lan Xing in any way."

"What?" Peng Hongyuan was startled, "Then you..."

Lu Sheng continued, "I am Lan Xing."

...???

Peng Hongyuan, known for his distinguished reputation and calm demeanor, was now staring with eyes as wide as copper bells, shocked and said, "...What did you say?"

Displeasure flashed across Peng Hongyuan’s face instantly, "Little girl, I don’t know how you learned about the name Lan Xing, but please don’t make such jokes!"

Today, Lu Sheng came out of nowhere, revealing her alias to seek out Professor Peng Hongyuan because of Li Muchen’s grandmother’s illness.

She anticipated that Peng Hongyuan wouldn’t immediately believe her identity, so she asked another question, "Uncle Peng, has the blue cat at your home given birth yet?"

Peng Hongyuan, who had still been filled with the anger of being toyed with, heard this and couldn’t help but catch his breath.

He had few friends, and the imminent birth of his cat at home was only something he casually mentioned in his last email to Lan Xing.

How could this little girl in front of him, if she only knew the name Lan Xing and came to cause trouble, also know about the content of the emails he sent to Lan Xing?

"Uncle Peng, even though it seems absolutely impossible, I am indeed Lan Xing."

Lu Sheng said earnestly, "I started studying Chinese medicine when I was five, and I’m also very interested in western medicine and the biomedical field."

"The first paper I sent you about megalosyndactyly, I wrote when I was fourteen."

Lu Sheng was now dead serious, making stuff up.

But her expression was so confident, and as she finished speaking, Peng Hongyuan’s expression wavered somewhat.

But looking at the little girl before him, Peng Hongyuan still found it difficult to associate Lu Sheng with the ’Lan’ he had imagined.

Could there really be such a genius girl in the world who could write a brilliant scientific research paper at the age of fourteen?

"Well then, if you truly are Lan Xing, come with me to the lab," said Peng Hongyuan.

Lu Sheng nodded and entered the research institute with Peng Hongyuan under the astonished gaze of two security officers.

Whether the girl was Lan Xing or not, identities could be faked, but knowledge could not.

So, after discussing a professional issue with Lu Sheng for nearly an hour, Peng Hongyuan was moved to tears.

He could never have imagined that his admired and respected friend, whom he had always looked up to, was just a seventeen-year-old girl this year.

He hadn’t expected that their very first conversation would enlighten him, who was always deemed high and mighty in academic circles, providing him with several new perspectives.

"You really are Lan Xing..." Peng Hongyuan’s tone couldn’t hide his excitement.

"Uncle Peng, you can call me Shengsheng," Lu Sheng said, "My real name is Lu Sheng, and I’m currently a senior at Shengjing High School."

"You’re in your senior year at Shengjing?" Peng Hongyuan was aware of Shengjing High School, which he understood was full of children from wealthy, influential families.

In Peng Hongyuan’s view, those wealthy scions didn’t seem like the type to sit down and earnestly delve into academic research, and he was surprised to encounter a rare research talent like the girl.

Lu Sheng then said, "Uncle Peng, I came to see you today actually to ask for your help with something."
