Chapter 76 Be Handsome Outside and Wise Inside
Vincent smiled and tried to salvage the situation. He said to Jane, "I am indeed the apple of Sodom. But did you know that Edward used to study in Oxford?"
Hearing this, Jane was secretly shocked.
Vincent then said, "He originally majored in philosophy in college. But he didn't study long because he suddenly understood the meaning of life. So he resolutely chose to drop out of school and give up philosophy to pursue business. Although he has not yet obtained a graduation certificate, he has opened several companies and schools. "
Jane said without blinking, "Amazing."
Vincent said, "The rich should fight as well. What he said is true."
Looking at Edward, Jane said earnestly, "Maybe my words are ambiguous. But I still want to apologize to you. I will convey to Justin and Henry the idea that the rich should fight as well."
But to Jane's surprise, Edward just wanted to argue with her tonight. He said nonchalantly, "I know you wouldn't and wouldn't dare. But you despise the rich."
Jane felt wronged, "I didn't..."
How could she look down on the rich? Isn't she just working for the rich?
Regardless of her grievances and embarrassment, Edward asked, "Do you play Sudoku?"
He knew she was a master of mathematics from Y University. Jane nodded. Edward said, "I want to play a few Sudoku games with you."
Jane: "..."
Vincent was overjoyed. He was still booing, "You're done. He's serious."
Half-jokingly and half-seriously, Jane said, "Should I apologize?"
"You can apologize after you lose," Edward said.
At this moment, he was expressionless, indifferent and arrogant. The aggrieved Jane also wanted to see if he who used to study in Oxford was really as powerful as Vincent said.
Anyway, due to various factors, the two of them really took a pad respectively and sat on the same sofa. Choosing the same set of Sudoku puzzles, they were comparing the speed of completion.
The difficulty of the game ranges from easy, medium, to high. Normal people need to think when doing simple sudoku. But they just glanced at it and quickly filled in the numbers in the blanks. They finished almost at the same time, then turned the page and moved on to the next.
Vincent occupied the entire pool table by himself. He didn't understand and didn't want to be involved. He was just too curious who would win tonight.
Jane and Edward didn't know many things about each other. He only learned about her family tonight. Jane also learned tonight that he used to study in Oxford University.
In fact, Jane was not hostile to the rich. But Edward was not wrong. In her mind, she did think the rich wouldn't work as hard as the poor. And he didn't like her attitude and wanted to teach her how to behave.
If the Sudoku answer was correct, it would automatically transition to the next one. But if the answer was wrong, a beep would sound.
Half an hour later, neither Edward nor Jane looked up. But they both showed the same indifference, no, seriousness.
Vincent gradually lost the joy of occupying the table alone. He was sitting on the other side of the sofa playing with his phone. An hour later, Vincent couldn't help but raised his head and asked, "When will you be done?"
Jane pretended not to hear. Edward said directly, "Just go."
Vincent was speechless, "I've been waiting for you here for over an hour! You tell me to go now?"
Edward frowned invisibly, "Don't talk."
Sudoku required intense concentration. Simple and medium level Sudoku was a puzzle game. But the difficult Sudoku was very brain-burning. At this time, no matter how smart you were, it was impossible to do two things with one mind.
Vincent was speechless. At this time, many girls on WeChat called him out to play. He stood up and said to them, "I'm leaving."
Both Edward and Jane were silent. Vincent was furious. He rolled his eyes and left.
Now, only Edward and Jane were left in the room. The two of them sat side by side in silence, with a few spaces between them. They all stared intently at the pad, as if it had beauty and gold on it.
The room seemed to be in quiet mode, and even the air was still. If no one else saw the two of them sitting here, they might have thought there was no one in the room.
Bowing her head down too long, Jane adjusted her posture. So did Edward. The two of them went from sitting first to leaning later, and then to a lazy half paralysis.
After a long time, Edward put down the pad. He picked up the cigarette pack on the coffee table and smoked a cigarette. As soon as he lit the fire, Jane said, "I'm done."
When the game was finally over, Jane was relieved. She also raced against the clock to speak first. However, when she turned her head to look at Edward, she saw him take a cigarette and turn his pad towards her. The screen showed him finishing the game in 2 hours, 58 minutes and 14 seconds.
On Jane's pad, the screen showed her finishing the game in 2 hours, 58 minutes and 19 seconds.
She was five seconds slower than him.
In the dimly lit private room, Jane was surprised for a moment. Then she said calmly as always, "I lost."
Edward exhaled white smoke. He said lukewarmly, "Do you still think I can't do it?"
Jane said, "I'm sorry. I gave in."
Edward said, "You're not bad either. You're faster than I expected."
Jane asked, "Since you are so good at science, why don't you teach Justin yourself?"
Edward replied, "The doctor cannot heal himself. So do I."
Jane said sincerely, "You are a qualified and good parent."
Edward said, "You are also a qualified and good teacher."
After the two of them complimented each other a few times, no one answered. The room instantly returned to quiet. Looking at the time, Jane said in surprise, "It's already twelve o'clock."
Edward got up and said, "Let's go."
They left the room together. As soon as they left the gate, the people in the clubhouse started talking about them.
"Vincent left three hours ago. What were they doing in there for so long?"
"Do you believe they're playing pool?"
"Even if they can take it, the table pool can't take it."
"Maybe they are discussing knowledge? Isn't the woman a tutor?"
"Are you talking about knowledge or posture? With a face like that, I prefer the latter."
"Can you be restrained? You look so wretched..."
Jane was going to take a taxi. Edward told her to get in the car and took her home.
The two of them didn't speak along the way. They both looked straight ahead. On the way, Jane wanted to yawn several times, but she held it back. Finally, Edward pulled over to her door. Jane unfastened her seat belt and said, "Thank you, Mr. Smith."
After getting off the car, she said politely, "Go slowly on the way back."
After saying that, she turned and walked inside. Edward, who was about to leave, just happened to pick up a phone call. He lowered the car window and chatted while smoking.
At the same time, a red Audi drove into the gate of the community. The two cars passed by. The woman in the car could clearly see that Edward was sitting in the opposite car, and that the person walking in was Jane. She quickly took out her cell phone and made a call.
The call was connected. It was a woman's voice.
She lowered her voice and said mysteriously and nervously, "Linda, guess who I saw?"
Linda asked, "Who?"
"Edward! He's at the gate of my community. I saw him take Jane back!"
