Just like Lu Zhou had expected, Qin Yue didnt take long to reply. After Lu Zhou got up and went to the bathroom, Qin Yues reply was already sitting in his inbox.

Unfortunately, Qin Yue didnt know much about Veras condition. He just knew that Vera was working with Molina on Riemanns hypothesis. He wasnt sure about the rest.

However, Qin Yue said he would try his best and keep an eye on the situation. He said if there was any new information, he would tell Lu Zhou immediately.

As for Vera

For some reason, she still hadnt replied to him.

Lu Zhou couldnt keep waiting around like this. Even though he was still worried, he decided to put this matter aside and continue research on Riemanns hypothesis.

Veras research inspired him a lot, especially when it came to the representation theory for the irreducible octal Heisenberg group. He couldnt help but feel impressed; this was truly a sophisticated idea.

If he could make a breakthrough using the octal Heisenberg group and apply the hyperelliptic curve analysis method, he would undoubtedly make some progress on the value of epsilon.

He already had some ideas on how to enlarge the value of epsilon, he just needed some time to verify his conjectures

It was worth mentioning that while Lu Zhou was researching Riemanns hypothesis, Professor Krugman was still after him.

That thesis on Econometrica continued to spread around the economics community. Krugman would harass him with emails every couple of days, occasionally attaching the latest research progress on the Lu Bewley model.

These latest research developments included papers from well-known scholars, reports from academic conferences, as well as Krugmans own research.

It seemed like this old professor wanted to let Lu Zhou know how important Lu Zhous research was and to persuade Lu Zhou to continue researching in the field of economics.

However, there was no hope for this professors wishes.

If a similar thing happened in physics or chemistry, that might entice Lu Zhou a bit. After all, Lu Zhou liked to see other people inspired by his research.

Unfortunately, he wasnt interested in money anymore.

He didnt want to waste his time making more money.

He didnt want to brag, but he really just had too much money

Lunchtime.

The family sat by the dining table, happily eating lunch.

Now that the two children were back home, Fang Mei was as happy as a clam. She cooked all of Xiao Tong and Lu Zhous favorite dishes. It was almost as if she wanted them to stay here forever.

Actually, Lu Zhou didnt really care about how much he ate. After using the systems metabolic enhancing agent, he could never gain weight.

But Xiao Tong, on the other hand

She wasnt used to the food in England, and now, she was in culinary heaven. She ate so much that she even began tracking her calories.

Lu Zhou looked at his sister trying to restrain herself from eating, and he couldnt help but laugh.

Xiao Tong noticed Lu Zhou looking at her and suddenly remembered something. She put down her chopsticks and spoke.

Brother, do you have a prejudice against economics?

Lu Zhou didnt know why she would ask something like this. He paused for a second and shook his head.

Prejudice? Not at all.

Then why are you so resistant? Xiao Tong scratched her head and said, Professor Krugman is so enthusiastic about working with you, and this Lu Bewley model has a real chance of winning the Nobel Prize.

Just as Lu Zhou was about to explain the reason, his father spoke first.

Hey, dont touch your hair, youre getting oil all over it. Come on, youre a grown woman now, no ones going to marry you if you keep doing this.

Old Lu didnt know about economics or some Lu model, but that didnt stop him from disciplining his daughter.

Xiao Tong heard her dad and put on a pouty face.

Dad! What about this old loner right here! How come youre only targeting me!

Old Lu snorted.

Your brother I have no hope for him. Im counting on you now.

Lu Zhou nearly choked on his soup. He put down his chopsticks and said, What do you mean no hope? Im so heartbroken. Also, how am I old? Im in my twenties!

Xiao Tong stuck out her tongue and didnt say anything.

Father Lu, on the other hand, just laughed and sighed.

The mom sitting on the other side had enough, and she began to say, Forget about it, our son has his own plans; when he is ready, hell start a family.

Lu Zhou sighed and spoke.

Mom, you get me!

However, his mom continued, However, youre such a workaholic, you barely meet any girls! Im not worried about you getting married, but you should at least have some experience. How about your father and I help you?

The girl from Auntie Wangs house seems pretty good, how about I introduce you to her?

Lu Zhou nearly choked on his food. Like a blind date?

What do you mean blind date? His mom awkwardly smiled and said, Its just to introduce you to each other.

Xiao Tong frowned and suddenly asked, Auntie Wang? The one upstairs? The one with the fat daughter?

Old Lu put down his chopsticks and spoke.

What do you mean fat? Shes just a little chubby, and shes in her twenties. I think shes pretty good.

Xiao Tong smiled and said, Are you swiping right?

F*ck off!

Fang Mei didnt know what her children were talking about.

Swipe? Swipe what?

Nothing, Mom Lu Zhou coughed and said, Forget about the blind date. I wanted to relax this holiday, but people kept asking for things from me. Can you guys just let me chill out? Im fine being alone. Im sure not a lot of girls will put up with my personality. Dont put the poor girl through this.

What do you mean poor girl, look at how successful you are. Old Lu coughed and said, If this were the ancient times, an academician would be in the Hanlin Academy. Youre a catch.

Xiao Tong smiled and said, Dad, stop reading novels. Nowadays, girls dont just want money, they want romance as well.

Old Lu said, What novel! Im telling the truth!

Lu Zhou shook his head and continued to eat his food.

Being grilled by his parents about his love life was the norm now. Anyway, his moms cooking was still delicious, so the food was probably his biggest motivation for coming back home.

The succulent red braised pork belly was as tender as tofu, as soft as jelly. Biting into it didnt feel greasy at all; instead, it tasted like happiness.

Even though Lu Zhou had eaten at three-Michelin-star restaurants before, he could never forget his mothers cooking.

While he was enjoying his meal, he suddenly heard a knock at the door.

Its probably someone here to greet us for the new year Ill go.

Fang Mei put down her chopsticks and stood up.

She opened the front door.

A beautiful and familiar figure stood in front of her.

Fang Mei was greeted with a beautiful and blooming smile. A soothing voice traveled through the air.

Hello, Auntie!

Wait a second

What is going on

Lu Zhou looked like he just saw a ghost.

He and Xiao Tong were frozen
