Chapter 285: You’re Going to the Lan Family?

Fu Mingxue grabbed her luggage, got on her bicycle, and left again.

Mrs. Fu watched her leave and couldn’t help but sigh. This couple—if he wasn’t on a mission, she was on a business trip.

They were both just too busy.

’When will they ever have a child?’

Mrs. Fu’s way of thinking was still a bit old-fashioned.

Even though she treated the twins like her own grandchildren, she still hoped the couple would have a child of their own blood.

After all, that would make their marriage stronger and deepen their bond.

Right now, they didn’t seem like a married couple at all. There was always a certain politeness and distance between them.

Besides, it wasn’t as if her daughter couldn’t have children.

’She should at least have one, right?’

It wasn’t as if they were the type of people who would neglect other children after having their own.

On this point, Mrs. Fu trusted her daughter’s character.

Fu Mingxue arrived at the factory to find Old Ji already waiting for her.

"You’re just in time. I was just thinking of driving to the base to pick you up!"

He had the guard who was driving help put Fu Mingxue’s suitcase in the car.

Then he gestured for Fu Mingxue to get in the car first.

Fu Mingxue opened the door and got in.

Old Ji got in as well.

However, he sat in the back while Fu Mingxue took the front passenger seat.

After the car started moving, Old Ji said with a smile, "Little Fu, I hear you’ve come up with a couple of great things for the bicycle factory."

"They’re nothing special. I just wanted to use them myself, so I modified them a bit. I didn’t expect the bicycle factory to take an interest," Fu Mingxue said modestly.

"This is great. You should create more good ideas and designs in the future. But make them pay you a design fee. You can’t just work for them for free."

Old Ji wasn’t a stick-in-the-mud.

He didn’t believe that just because Fu Mingxue worked for the research institute, she had to devote her entire self to it.

"Alright. I’ll do as you say!" Fu Mingxue agreed with a smile.

Of course, she wasn’t going to work for others for free.

’In this life, she would never be a sucker.’

Besides, she had a new product in mind—a hairdryer.

Although they already existed, the hairdryer she designed would definitely have better performance and practicality.

The heating elements in current hairdryers were subpar.

She had made improvements in that area.

Furthermore, the potential for derivative products was even broader, such as industrial heat guns and so on.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Qin had slept until around two in the afternoon, waking up completely refreshed and full of energy.

For the past few days, she had barely slept at night.

On top of that, she had pulled an all-nighter, wracked with worry and anxiety.

Her body just couldn’t take it anymore.

So, once she finally relaxed, she slept very, very deeply.

When Granny Qin saw her awake and looking energetic, she finally felt a sense of relief.

Granny Qin had been worried sick about her these past few days. After all, she wasn’t young anymore, so how could she keep pushing herself like that?

"Hurry and come eat."

Having slept her fill, Mrs. Qin was indeed hungry.

Besides, she had a confrontation to get to in a little while, so she had to eat—and eat a lot.

"Mom, where is everyone?"

"Wenzhe’s father went to work, Wenzhe hasn’t come back, and Wenhao is out. I’ll have Aunt Li bring out your food."

They had seen how soundly she was sleeping at noon, and since she’d finally gotten a chance to rest, they hadn’t woken her for lunch.

Aunt Li had already heard the stirring and immediately brought the still-warm dishes to the dining table.

Mrs. Qin wasted no time and started eating—

Granny Qin walked over, and seeing her wolfing down her food, she couldn’t help but ask:

"Are you going to the Lan family’s place?"
