Gu Youyou took another sip of porridge and said indifferently, "My mother was exceptionally intelligent, so I suppose I take after her."
"But I watched your mother grow up, and she had no such issue," the Lin Family Madam said.
Gu Youyou said, "But she also learned to read without being taught, and knew many unfathomable things without instruction."
Madam Lin felt a pang in her heart and upon reflection, she realized that her eldest daughter was indeed like that.
Yet, over the years, she had grown accustomed to her daughter's differences and had seen nothing wrong with them.
What did it matter if she had given birth to a pair of unparalleled children?
"Grandmother, if you believe my mother was born with exceptional intelligence, why can't you believe in Youyou for once? If you truly don't believe, you can ask around. Youyou entered that room when she was seven and has never left for ten years. Everyone in the Gu Family knows this; a simple inquiry will reveal the truth!"
