When Lin Jingshu picked up her wine glass to stand up, Ming Zhengxun suddenly called out to her, "Senior Sister."
Lin Jingshu looked back at him, seeing him holding a wine glass and standing up, "I’ll join you."
Lin Jingshu was startled for a mont, then looked at him with raised eyebrows, teasing, "Aren’t you afraid that joining a divorced woman like for a toast will affect your image? You’re not married yet, so don’t let people misunderstand."
Ming Zhengxun laughed it off and said, "I’m old enough to not care about that. What about you, Senior Sister... do you mind?"
His pupils constricted imperceptibly, his gaze fixed on Lin Jingshu’s face, waiting for her response.
Lin Jingshu hesitated for a mont, but before she could speak, her brother, Lin Boyi, cut in.
"Little sister, Zhengxun is new here and doesn’t know many people. If you let him toast alone, he wouldn’t know who’s who, wouldn’t that be embarrassing? If you go with him, you can help introduce people."
After thinking about it, Lin Jingshu agreed, "Alright, you can follow ."
"Thank you, Senior Sister."
Ming Zhengxun smiled slightly, holding his wine glass, and followed Lin Jingshu towards the other tables.
Many people present were businessn, and although Ming Zhengxun wouldn’t know many of them, they all recognized this world-famous mathematician.
Many people knew that if he solved the Goldbach Conjecture, his influence would far surpass any of theirs in the business world.
And he had a high possibility of solving it.
So, many at the event wanted to take the opportunity to connect with him, and now they finally had their chance, not letting it slip away.
Ming Zhengxun walked behind Lin Jingshu, not far apart, their shoulders slightly offset so that his shoulder was behind hers.
Although both of them were in their forties, they still looked young and attractive. As they went around toasting, they looked more like a well-matched couple.
So observant people noticed and felt that they were a perfect match. If Lin Jingshu hadn’t married Qiao Sheng years ago, Ming Zhengxun might not be single now.
With this thought, many people shared Qiao Xu’s idea, feeling that Ming Zhengxun was outstanding in every aspect - handso, rich, and reputable, so why were there no rumored girlfriends by his side?
Could it be that he was really waiting for Lin Jingshu?
But if Lin Jingshu didn’t divorce, wouldn’t he just remain single for a lifeti and never marry?
Qiao Xu initially had just been speculating, but now seeing the subtle way Ming Zhengxun was protecting her mother from behind, she knew she guessed correctly.
Professor Ming really liked her mother.
As a daughter, Qiao Xu couldn’t help but reveal a "mischievous" smile on her face as she looked at her Island Master Lu, who was sowhat speechless beside her.
At the sa ti, she felt a bit resentful in her heart.
Her wife cared about her grandfather’s affairs and her mother-in-law’s emotional matters but showed no sign of caring about her husband, who shared the sa birthday as her grandfather.
Did she really forget that her husband’s birthday was today too?
President Lu’s heart was filled with a sense of defeat.
When Lin Jingshu and Ming Zhengxun reached Qiao Sheng’s table, Lin Jingshu’s face showed no change or the embarrassnt and resentnt that one might expect when faced with an ex-husband.
