Chapter 493: 0493 Open_1

Ellen Young arrived at the lobby, and sure enough, after she had seen the group of men and women, their parents were next.

The Smith Family had quite a few people present by now, and they had all been gathered in the lobby discussing various matters.

Such birthday banquets also function as a place of business to some extent.

Those who arrived early tended to have especially close relationships.

When they saw Ellen Young appear, many people looked over, watching her with great surprise.

"Is that... Ellen Young?"

"Scholar Young, the one who has recently become very famous."

"My goodness, she’s an outstanding talent of our country. I didn’t expect Taylor Smith to be able to invite her today; the Smith Family really is extraordinary."

"Go up and say hello."

Quite a few people came forward to greet Ellen Young. She nodded to each of them in turn. These people knew when to advance and when to retreat, aware that Ellen Young’s status was different. After greeting her, they did not say much else. Even if they wanted to form a connection, there was no significant interest at play; to them, Ellen Young was just an exceptionally famous scholar.

She had made many contributions and was that type of scientific research talent.

With the country watching, it was better for them, the merchants, to try not to get involved too much.

Ruffy Smith caught sight of Ellen Young’s arrival and was moved. He found an excuse to dismiss the person he was currently chatting with and walked directly toward Ellen Young.

Taylor Smith was also speaking with a guest, and when he saw Ruffy walking toward Ellen Young, he just sneered inwardly.

However, with Ellen Young’s status, she did indeed deserve special treatment from them.

Everyone was somewhat surprised to see Ruffy heading towards Ellen Young because, given Ellen Young’s status, it should have been Taylor Smith welcoming her, not his son.

But what really shocked everyone was that when Ruffy walked over, he naturally took Ellen Young’s hand.

Ellen Young didn’t say anything, and with this brazen display of claiming ownership, everyone could see what was going on, and they were all stunned.

Ellen Young and Ruffy Smith?!

My gosh, these two seemed worlds apart.

It wasn’t a matter of achievement; the problem was one was a consortium heir, and the other was a super-genius focused on scientific research. How did these two come together?

Yet at this moment, Ruffy, facing Ellen Young, was smiling so happily, which was completely different from the indifferent face he had shown to the guests just before.

Ruffy didn’t care at the moment. He had been wanting to do this for a while. There was always some gossip outside, and some were still coveting Ellen Young. Now, by openly declaring his claim, he let everyone know who Ellen Young belonged to, and they should get the message.

Ellen Young, for her part, hadn’t expected to cause such a stir. After speaking with Ruffy for a few moments, she found a place to sit down.

Occasionally someone would come up to greet her, and she didn’t refuse.

From her expression, she seemed even more indifferent than Ruffy, leading everyone to think that perhaps it was a quirk of those in scientific research, that having a high IQ meant not liking to deal with ordinary people.

Moreover, the recent events concerning Ellen Young had caused quite a stir online, and everyone had enjoyed the spectacle and learned about her background.

If she wasn’t so intelligent, given her circumstances, her story would have been rather sad.

Her biological parents were the type to strongly prefer sons over daughters, never expecting this second daughter to be so formidable.

While Ellen Young was resting there, a message from Damien Frost came through.

Yesterday, Ellen Young had instructed him to thoroughly investigate all the information, so that’s what Damien and his team were busy with.
