CHAPTER 1113: CHAPTER 226: PLAYING THE FOOL TO OUTSMART OTHERS, ANNOUNCING THE ENGAGEMENT (PART 2)

Yan Xing sneered, "Who knows what kind of third-rate diploma mill it is? With enough money, I could buy ten degrees like that."

"But can you buy a dual postdoctoral degree from the University of Washington School of Medicine?" Zhuang Xiyue’s tone slightly rose, she chuckled as she looked at Yan Xing.

A moment of dead silence ensued.

Dongfang Yi’s eyes darkened as she glanced at Ji Yunya, but saw her sitting quietly beside Zhuang Xiyue, as if utterly uninvolved in the conversation.

Yan Xing was at a loss for words.

Yan Hua exclaimed incredulously, "Could Yun Ya have graduated from the University of Washington School of Medicine? And with a dual postdoctoral degree? Oh my, that’s too unbelievable, she’s only eighteen years old...."

Zhuang Xiyue laughed with satisfaction, "That was five years ago."

"So Yun Ya was only thirteen at that time..." Yan Hua gasped, covering her mouth in disbelief, "That’s practically a prodigy...."

Meng Junci instinctively said, "Impossible...."

Zhuang Xiyue raised an eyebrow, "Just because you can’t do something doesn’t mean it’s impossible. I understand your perspective."

Everyone present was stunned, Jiang Hanbi frowned, turned to look at Dongfang Yi, and saw her face slightly darkened.

This Ji Yunya is truly not to be underestimated, delivering one surprise after another.

Yan Xing snapped back to her senses, her voice sharp as she said, "Third Aunt, even if you’re lying, you should at least be believable! A dual postdoctoral degree from the University of Washington School of Medicine? At thirteen? Do you think we’d believe that?"

Zhuang Xiyue raised an eyebrow, "Believe what you like."

Yan Xing was so annoyed she wanted to flip the table, Third Aunt’s attitude, could it be true? No way, even a prodigy can’t be that astonishing.

"The University of Washington is a renowned research university with a top academic reputation worldwide, especially its School of Medicine, which is one of the best globally. Many famous doctors I know graduated from there. Yun Ya, you’re truly amazing." Yan Hua gave Yun Ya a thumbs up, trusting her completely.

Yun Ya smiled faintly, "Thank you."

Those who believe will naturally believe; for those who don’t, even if you place the certificate in front of them, they still won’t believe.

"Second Sister, are you really that foolish, you actually believe this?"

Yan Hua glanced at her, "At first, you said Yun Ya had no qualifications, now that they’ve been revealed, you still don’t believe it. What exactly do you want? Is admitting someone is more capable than you that hard?"

This remark hit a sore spot for several people, Yan Xing bit her lip, "Are you even my real sister?"

If I weren’t your real sister, I wouldn’t even bother with you. Is your brain entirely messed up?

Dongfang Yi was startled for a moment, then quickly reacted, laughing, "Miss Ji really makes a splash only when she acts, it’s truly surprising."

It’s more like a shock.

Yun Ya said blandly, "Sorry to make everyone laugh."

Pei Ying laughed, "If what you did is worth a laugh, how can others even live? Yueyue, this child is so exceptional, your judgment is truly spot on."

Zhuang Xiyue smiled as she gazed at Yun Ya, her eyes full of satisfaction, "Anyway, she’s already part of my family. Whoever tries to take her from me will have to face me."

Meng Shujing chuckled awkwardly, thinking to herself, this young girl plays the fool to catch the tiger, it’s unlikely Zhuang Xiyue is lying, so it’s probably true. Everyone underestimated this girl.

Lu Yuke smiled faintly, "Yueyue has always had great vision, this child appears to be truly fortunate."

Zhuang Xiyue let out a cold laugh.

All this talk about Washington and postdoctoral degrees, Yin Suhua was confused; in her youth, she hadn’t received much schooling and was just an ordinary housewife. Just listening to this felt impressive.

"What’s the use of a girl studying so much? The most important thing is to know how to maintain a household." She seemed like a coquettish fox, clearly not one to mind her place; if truly married, Yueyue would have a tough time with her.

"Third Aunt, that’s an old-fashioned view. Nowadays, women are encouraged to be independent and have their own careers, otherwise, they might spend their whole life revolving around men and kids, losing the chance to realize their self-worth. As some people say, what meaning does life have then?"

Yin Suhua was at a loss for words. She had spent her whole life revolving around men and kids, but her mind wasn’t sharp enough to realize Zhuang Xiyue was implying criticism.

"So did Miss Ji, who graduated at thirteen, have any career later on?" Jiang Hanbi asked with a smiling face.

"She’s in medicine, so she became a doctor. Yun Ya, are you planning to be a doctor in the future? Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of your remarkable talent and skills?" Yan Hua asked enthusiastically.

"Hmm." A perfunctory response, her attitude ambiguous.

Yan Hua, thinking she realized something, said, "That’s right, being the CEO of a large corporation, handling matters every day, where would you find time to be a doctor, what a pity."
