Chapter 20 The Mathematical Genius


    pages of


    Ethan couldn’t believe it. He took the notebook and flipped it open. It was filled with six calctions. As he read through it, he nced at Isabelle. When he saw the clear answer at the end, he was so shocked that his pupils dted.


    Ethan was speechless for a moment, just staring at Isabelle. His cells were screaming in excitement.


    The problem was solved.


    Countless teams had tried and failed, spending half a year racking their brains and pondering over this problem. Even the mathematical genius, James, couldn’t solve it. But his sister had done it in less than half an hour.


    At this moment, the solution and the answer were in his hands. Ethan’s hand, holding the draft, trembled with excitement.


    Isabelle pinched Ethan’s handsome and clean face, her eyes filled with amusement. “Don’t always react like this, it’s really hard to handle.”


    Ethan’s brain buzzed, and his neck turned red.


    “It’s a bit difficult for you to understand the problem now. I’ll exin it to you when you’re in college,” Isabelle said.


    Ethan looked at Isabelle, who seemed rxed and didn’t appear to have put much effort into solvi the problem. He opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn’t utter a word.


    In the end, he took the draft and quietly returned to his room.


    Sitting at his desk, Ethan flipped through the six pages back and forth. After a while, he seemed to think of something. He took out his phone and took clear pictures of each page, then opened the mathematics forum of Taragon University.


    The mathematics forum of Taragon University was active every day with mathematicians from all over the world.


    At this moment, a junior student from the faculty of mathematics of Taragon University just logged out of the ount of the genius mathematician James and started browsing the posts out of boredom.


    Soon.


    A new post caught his attention.


    The post had no title and had only six pictures.


    The pictures were of six pages of draft paper filled with mathematical symbols.


    When he clicked to take a look, he realised that it was the math problem that countless pros had not been able to solve.


    At first, he didn’t react much. After all, this


    problem was being solved back and forth every day, and


    1/5


    there were a lot of rted posts on the forum. He casually clicked to take a look.


    The more he looked, the more serious his expression became.


    When he clicked on thest picture, he didn’t look at the solution process, but at the final answer.


    “Wow, it seems quite right.”


    Although every day people posted their pitiful little solution process and had intense discussions with their friends, and some even earnestly wrote more than ten pages, but this was the only one that posted theplete solution process and answer.


    Without thinking, he eagerly tagged James, whom he had long admired, toe and see, and then shared it to various WhatsApp group discussion groups.


    It quickly attracted everyone’s attention.


    More and more students from Taragon University gathered under the post.


    In just around ten minutes, the post was at the top of the hot list, and more and more people came to see it.


    Has this seemingly unsolvable problem finally been solved?”


    I’ve seen s


    so many pros show their calction process, but this is the first time I’ve seen aplete process and calction result. There is hope, there is hope.”


    ‘I don’t understand math, but it looks awesome”


    ‘Regardless of whether it’s right or wrong, being able to write so much is already a genius, are you? Please, tell us so I can worship you


    ‘I have nothing to say but wow.”


    ‘I am so, so impressed.


    ‘I can’t even understand anything even if I get to copy the whole thing.


    “This solution process is a bit like the one that James showed before, so it seems that it’s the correct


    answer”


    ‘Is this pro from our school? Clicking into the homepage shows that the personal information is 16 years old, is it real? Please tell me it’s not’


    Quickly bring our lovely principal and James over, I can’t wait to know the answer’


    ‘Another day of me being a nobody in the world. I ampletely giving up”


    ‘Can the OPe out and say something?”


    ‘It seems that Taragon University is either going to add an excellent student or a genius teacher.

    ‘Oh please. That person managed to clear this problem. You think they care about the positions you mentioned?’


    Ethan was calming himself down by going through some papers. When he clicked into the forum to check his post, the post had already been witnessed by many Taragon University students.


    There were already more than two thousandments below, and they were increasing at a terrifying rate. Every time he refreshed, there were dozens more.


    There were also hundreds of private messages.


    He just posted it around twenty minutes ago. If the principal of Taragon University or James appeared, this post would probably explode.


    Ethan didn’t expect that he would be discovered by everyone so quickly, and the response was so great.


    It seems that everyone’s enthusiasm for this problem has never diminished.


    Taragon University. James was engrossed in his research in his ownboratory when the door was suddenly opened with a bang.


    The elderly professor burst in, impressively swift for his age of over seventy.


    James, who was interrupted, furrowed his brows deeply, his handsome face visibly ring with


    annoyance.


    Just as he was about to lose his temper, he heard the old professor say, “James, drop everything you doing. The solution to the problem is out.”


    James abruptly lifted his head, the fatigue from two days and nights without sleep vanished instantly


    “It’s solved?”


    There was no need to ask which problem the old professor was referring to.


    “It’s solved. Take a look.”


    The old professor held his phone up to James’s face, unable to hide the excitement and exhration on his face. His wrinkled old face reddened.


    Ethan, no longer interested in studying, was scrolling throughments. Looking at the words of admiration from Taragon University students, his heart was uncontrobly excited, as if he shared in the glory.


    Ethan thought, Sis can get a spot in Taragon University now for sure.


    Just as he was about to show Isabelle, his mother, Eleanor, called him for dinner.


    Only then did he realise that it was already dark.


    Ethan had to exit the forum, perfectly missing James’s private message.

    rmended for admission to Taragon University to make his father h second sister know that his eldest sister was not as unbearable as they thought.


    and to let his mother and


    But before he could speak, his mother, Eleanor, tapped her chopsticks against the bowl. “When are you going to get the money from your construction site? There are so many mouths to feed at home, and food’s running out. I can’t afford to feed so many people with my paltry sry.”


    William was also troubled by the dyed wages. “The foreman said he would pay in the middle of the month. I’ll ask him again then.”


    “The middle of the month? What’s the date today? Who knows if the middle of the month will turn into the end of the month. After saying this, Eleanor turned to Isabelle. “Aren’t you capable of making money? We’ve spent so much money on your education. You eat and use our resources. Now that you’ve learned skills and can earn money, shouldn’t you contribute to the family?”


    That was her true intention.


    William wanted to say something but eventually remained silent, looking at Isabelle.


    Isabelle put down her cutlery. Without lifting her eyes, she said, “Give me your ount number.


    Eleanor’s eyes lit up. She immediately took out her phone and brought up the QR code for payment, smiling broadly. “Just scan here and transfer the money directly to my ount.”


    Isabelle took out her phone.


    La, who had been quietly eating, couldn’t help but sneak a nce at Isabelle’s expensive phone.


    When the money arrived, Eleanor looked at it and her smile instantly turned into a frown when saw the amount.


    “Why is it only 300 dors? Your phone alone costs thousands, and not to mention yourputer. new clothes, and shoes. And you only give the family 300 dors?”


    “That’s the food expenses for Ethan and me this month.” Isabelle didn’t bother to say more.


    La sneaked another nce at Ethan.


    Ethan was looking at Isabelle.


    “Food expenses? For two people? Do you know how expensive groceries are now? 300 dors is not enough for two people.”


    Isabelle lifted her eyes, coldly looking at Eleanor. “Do you have any idea how little Ethan and I have at home in a month? We hardly have any meat in two days, and just two tes of greens. How expensive can that be?”


    After saying this, Isabelle stood up.


    She had no appetite for the two tes of wilted, tasteless vegetables on the table.


    After taking a few steps, she turned back and looked at Eleanor. “You’re right. I have money, but even if

    Isabelle wouldn’t eat for free, but Eleanor couldn’t expect to get a penny more from her either.


    These words infuriated Eleanor to the point of stomping her feet. “You ungrateful girl.”


    William hurriedly tried to stop her, but it was no use.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Eleanor’s sharp tongue hadn’t fully shown itself when she was silenced by a warning look from Isabelle.
