Chapter 945 - 358: Grand Wedding_3

Even if someone really thought it was impolite, they could still go along with it on the surface.

Of course, even if someone did have minor objections, Qiao Ze wouldn't care.

After all, anyone capable of affecting him wouldn't be fussing over trivial matters like toasting or not. And as for those who do, well, chances are their lives wouldn't intersect with his in any meaningful way.

It's like how Qiao Ze never has to worry about his parking spot being taken because he neither owns a car nor knows how to drive.

The happiest person today, perhaps, is Lu Xiuxiu.

While her cautious personality rarely puts her in the spotlight, the smile on her face today hasn't disappeared.

Thinking back to two or three years ago, she used to fret endlessly about whether her son could even get into college, let alone consider the possibility of marriage. Honestly, back then, Lu Xiuxiu almost gave up all hope for Qiao Ze's future marriage. From her perspective at the time, what kind of woman could possibly spend her life with a man who barely said half a sentence most days?

What she didn't expect was that everything changed once he got to college.

According to Su Mucheng, Lu Xiuxiu's son was so desirable that he was someone you had to "fight for, or lose quickly." Luckily for her, this thoughtful daughter-in-law was fast to claim him...

Now, not only does she have a daughter-in-law, but also an unborn grandchild, and she's even getting an early taste of being a grandmother. For this very ordinary woman, life has already reached fulfillment. She can't even imagine how life could possibly get better.

At least for today, for Lu Xiuxiu, all the hardships she had faced in her life have been given a nearly perfect ending.

But for many others, this day marks not joy, but rather the beginning of sorrow.

...

Princeton, Institute for Advanced Study.

"Professor Witten wants to stay in Huaxia and isn't coming back?" Mani Ballard stared at Roth Dugan, who wore a grave expression, and asked in shock.

"Yes, to be precise, he plans to remain in Xilin permanently. This is how he plans to handle his unfinished work moving forward, and he asked me to convey his apologies to you. Yes, I understand how you feel right now. I agree—this guy is incredibly irresponsible. But this is his life, his choice. I don't understand it, but we have to respect it."

Roth Dugan shrugged as he spoke.

By now, Edward Witten was probably already in Xilin.

According to the timeline they had agreed on, this was the moment he needed to confront the Institute for Advanced Study's director and come clean.

Though Roth Dugan felt that matters like this should be handled by Edward Witten himself—seriously, it's not the 19th century anymore; humans can communicate instantly across states...

Then again, looking at it from Edward Witten's perspective, he probably felt awkward making that call.

Disappearing without notice has never been gentlemanly behavior, especially coming from someone who had just won the Nobel Prize.

Mani Ballard fixed her gaze on Roth Dugan, her eyes flashing dangerously.

"Roth, you knew about this all along, didn't you?"

"No, actually, I only found out yesterday. He got on the plane to Huaxia, and then I saw his email. Really, I didn't want to deal with this, but you know, Edward and I are friends… sigh..."

Roth Dugan let out a deep sigh.

He was lying, but there wasn't much else he could do.

The man had left, and Roth still had to stay here and contribute to science.

For someone who had already offended the entire board of trustees, it wouldn't be wise to upset this particular stubborn little old man as well, would it?
