Chapter 129: A True Genius

    Duke Sun looked at Aurora in front of him. He frowned. "Don’t joke around, Miss Aurora. If you didn’t change the content, why did you...?"

    Aurora showed a faint smile. "The original contract has never been leaked out, Duke Sun. You don’t have to worry about this matter affecting our cooperating with each other."

    Duke Sun was stunned.

    Looking at Aurora’s calm expression, Duke Sun had the faint feeling that it seemed as if Aurora had known everything and it was still within her control.

    Or was it because she was too cold?

    Someone close to her had just died...

    But then again, he was nothing more than a vassal.

    Duke Sun sighed. If a vassal of him died, he would feel sad and angry for a while if the death was not natural. But after some time, he would calm down and slowly forgot about that person.

    Because there was no point in dwelling about this matter for the rest of their lives.

    It was not like the death of the other party would affect their lives.

    So aside from the initial sadness, there was not much other feelings left for them to dwell in.

    But isn’t this too fast?

    Duke Sun didn’t understand what Aurora was thinking.

    "Are you sure that no one will disturb the cooperation?" Duke Sun asked.

    "As long as you keep your mouth shut about the details of the cooperation, no third party will know, Duke Sun," Aurora replied slowly. "Of course, if you want to change the contract, I have a different one for you to see."

    After that, Aurora took out the set of contract that was more beneficial to her.

    This contract would make Duke Sun paid more but on the surface, it didn’t look like he lost a lot.

    Duke Sun sighed and took the contract Aurora handed over.

    Reading the content, it was not that much different but there were some things that Aurora specifically changed. It seemed that Aurora was doing a good job in maintaining the balance to make it profit both parties.

    Of course, for Aurora, it would definitely benefit her more.

    "Shall we discuss more about this new contract before deciding which one to use?" Duke Sun asked and looked at Aurora in front of him.

    Aurora has the same polite smile on her face. "Yes."

    ...

    The negotiation between Aurora and Duke Sun lasted for some time before it was done.

    At this time, Duke Sun sighed deeply.

    There were several papers scattered on the table, the results of the fierce discussion between him and Aurora not long ago. Behind him, Henry was looking at the empty seat in front of them with amazement.

    Aurora had left, but Henry still couldn’t hide the shock in his eyes.

    "No matter how long you stare, she’s not going to come back," Duke Sun said directly.

    "I know, Father." Henry took a deep breath and looked at his father. "Do you think that I can become as good as her?"

    At least, in terms of negotiation alone, Henry felt that he was far below Aurora. He hoped that he would be able to be the same as her, conforming his father without losing his grounds at all.

    It looked very cool.

    Duke Sun passed a look at Henry. "Do you really think that it was that easy for her to grow like this? I can’t imagine how strict her education was in the White Family Residence."

    To be able to make a young teenage girl be so capable, Duke Sun knew that the White Family should have cultivate Aurora ever since she was young.

    When she was a child, she might not even have the slightest bit of time to play and had to study.

    Tsk, tsk.

    "My education is also strict," Henry said, unconvinced.

    "But you’re still not as good as her when you’re several years older," Duke Sun replied mercilessly.

    Henry: "..."

    That was also true.

    If he was as capable as Aurora, Duke Sun would hand over more power and management to Henry rather than working so hard all day long to the point that he could barely rest.

    Duke Sun sighed.

    "But does being so capable really good?"

    Hearing this sentence, Henry looked at his father in confusion. Wasn’t it good to be so capable like Aurora?

    She was able to do many things that ordinary people couldn’t do, making the work so much easier.

    Duke Sun didn’t explain to Henry.

    From the moment Mr. Wren and the knights from Duke White died in his territory, Duke Sun had the faint feeling that something has gone terribly wrong.

    But what it was, he couldn’t really describe it with words and still felt that there was something he missed.

    And when he came to see Aurora today...

    He knew what he had missed.

    That was how capable Aurora was.

    It should have been a good thing for a person to be really capable. Because it meant that he or she would be able to do many things that many other people would not be able to do in their entire life.

    But at the same time, Duke Sun also understood another matter.

    And that was Aurora is too young.

    Other people started to make their name after they had become an adult or close to be an adult.

    Yet, Aurora had already started to take over her mother’s work when she was 11 to 12 years old.

    If she had done badly and needed the adult’s help, then it would be nothing.

    Everyone would only laugh it off and said that the child need more time to study.

    But no.

    Aurora did everything perfectly well.

    So well that many adults were simply not comparable to Aurora in the slightest bit.

    This talent...

    It could only be described as terrifying.

    Because Duke Sun knew very well that when he was around Aurora’s age, he couldn’t do anything like her and still scramble around, being beaten by his teacher for not doing his work well.
