Chapter 256: Good Riddance

Fu Mingxue rolled her eyes.

"You’re Qin Wenhao’s cousin. Besides, I’m not the only one living here. My two moms are here too. What, you didn’t count them as people?"

The words had barely left her mouth when Mrs. Fu started scolding her. "What kind of thing is that to say? Have you forgotten how to talk?"

’She just opens her mouth and says whatever she pleases—what did she mean by "you didn’t count them as people"?’

’How could she say something like that? Her mother-in-law is right here!’

’This darn girl has lost her mind again, and her mouth has no filter.’

’What would Wenhao’s mother think if she heard that?’

Mrs. Qin walked over, smiling as she spoke:

"It’s fine, it’s fine. Mingxue was just making a point. Besides, I think she’s right—in that case, Wenshu should stay! There’s an extra room, and I’ll share with you tonight."

Seeing how insistent they were that he stay, Qin Wenshu agreed.

"Alright."

Then he pushed the tricycle back to where it was.

Fu Mingxue looked at Mrs. Qin. "Mom, you must be exhausted from the trip!"

Mrs. Qin replied immediately, "Not at all! We took a sleeper car. Oh, by the way, I heard you’ve been working overtime. Is your body holding up?"

"I’m fine. I’m young and in good shape. Besides, there are plenty of people in their fifties and sixties at my company who work overtime until one or two in the morning. My hours aren’t that late in comparison."

’They work way harder than I do.’

Just then, Qin Wenshu, having parked the tricycle, came over.

"Sister-in-law, I heard your bicycle has a small electric motor. Let me take it for a spin!"

His eyes were full of eager anticipation.

"—Alright. But wait a second, let me change the seat for you."

Qin Wenshu: ...?

’Change what seat?’

While he watched with a puzzled expression, Fu Mingxue pushed the bicycle into the courtyard and left it there.

She then went into the main hall to get a seat.

She removed her own special seat and installed this black one.

"Alright, there you go."

’I don’t want anyone else sitting on the seat I use.’

’Although I’d said I would never lend this bicycle out, I couldn’t rule out having to someday.’

’So, I had another seat made just in case.’

"This one can be raised, just like on a regular bike. You just have to adjust the height. And this is the handbrake. Twist this handle, and the power will turn on."

Fu Mingxue demonstrated.

Since Qin Wenshu knew how to drive a car, he understood at a glance.

"Got it."

Then he pushed the bicycle outside.

Fu Mingxue paid him no mind.

She turned her head to her mother-in-law. "Mom, is everyone at home doing well?"

"They’re all fine. Except, your older brother and that Lan Qingman got divorced."

Mrs. Qin’s words stunned both Fu Mingxue and her mother.

"Older Brother got divorced? How long ago?"

"Just in the last few days! Wenzhe was dead set on divorcing her, so of course it was going to happen."

Fu Mingxue: ...?

’Good riddance!’

Of course, she didn’t press for details about why they divorced.

Mrs. Fu’s mouth opened and closed, then opened and closed again—she really didn’t know what to say.

"It’s actually for the best that they divorced. That Lan Qingman isn’t suited for a stable life. Back then, if she hadn’t schemed against Wenzhe, she never would have married into our family."

Fu Mingxue: ...?

’Now this is some juicy gossip.’

Mrs. Fu: ...

"Anyway, let’s not talk about that," Mrs. Qin said, looking a little worried. "That boy Wenshu won’t crash the bike, will he?"

Fu Mingxue immediately said, "Mom, don’t worry about that. Qin Wenshu knows how to drive a car and can even ride a tricycle. How could he not handle this bicycle? The little electric motor isn’t that fast."

"Besides, even if he does crash it, we can just get it fixed. It’s easy to repair."
