Chapter 383: The Sister-in-Law Didn’t Even Look at Her

There was no way Fu Mingxue would let her own mother come pick her up.

"I don’t know what time the train arrives yet, and you don’t need to pick me up. I can get back on my own."

"All right, then. By the way, your husband was away on a mission, and he came back at the perfect time today. Your grandma and Fu Mingya were making a scene at the base, but unexpectedly, he returned right in the middle of it."

Mrs. Fu hadn’t wanted to say anything, but the words just slipped out.

Fu Mingxue was shocked when she heard this.

"What? They went to the base? Wait, how did they know which base we’re at?"

"I actually forgot to ask about that. Anyway, just as they were about to cause a real scene, your husband, who had just gotten back, took them away and sent them home."

Fu Mingxue: "...?"

’What on earth did Qin Wenhao do to make that old woman leave so easily?’

’That damn old woman dared to show up at a military base; she wouldn’t have left without a fight.’

"Mom, why did they come looking for us out of the blue?"

This was what Fu Mingxue didn’t understand.

’It’s been over half a year since our families split, right?’

’Besides, we’d already cut all ties when they left—what reason could that damn old woman have to come looking for us?’

’And she even brought Fu Mingya with her.’

’Don’t tell me Fu Mingya is still dreaming of stealing my husband?’

’If that’s the case, then that Fu Mingya is truly an unbelievable idiot.’

Mrs. Fu fell silent for a second.

"Fu Mingya’s grandfather passed away. A telegram came a few days ago, telling the two of us to come back for the funeral. I guess since we didn’t go, they came looking for us."

In truth, Mrs. Fu had not anticipated that the old woman would actually come find them.

Fu Mingxue was also stunned to hear that Old Man Fu had died.

Just as she was about to ask what happened, her mother said, "All right, this is too much to explain over the phone. We’ll talk about it in detail when you get back. That’s all for now, I’m hanging up. Oh, and be careful on the train."

With that, she hung up the phone.

Fu Mingxue was still a bit dazed on her end of the line.

’If I remember correctly, Old Man Fu didn’t die at this time in my past life.’

’So, in this life, without me and my mother around, the old man died this quickly?’

"Mingxue, who died?" Mrs. Qin had overheard a little upon her return and asked casually.

Fu Mingxue had nothing to hide, so she explained, "My estranged grandfather. He died a little while ago. Then, my grandmother took her other granddaughter to the military base to cause a scene."

The Qin Family was shocked to hear this.

Mrs. Qin looked even more worried. "Is your mother all right?"

She had spoken with her daughter-in-law’s mother before.

She knew about the history between her daughter-in-law and her mother and the Fu Family’s old house, and she knew they had cut ties with that side of the family.

As far as she was concerned, it was a good thing they had cut ties. The people from the Fu Family’s old house were truly rotten.

To think they could be so cruel to a mother and her daughter.

Fu Mingxue shook her head. "She’s fine. Wenhao happened to get back to the base, and he sent the two of them away."

Hearing this, Mrs. Qin let out a sigh of relief. "It’s good they’re gone!"

In this regard, she had faith in her younger son.

Gao Lan had been listening silently the entire time.

She was also quite confused. ’Does my sister-in-law have a really bad relationship with her own family?’

’But no matter how bad things are, shouldn’t she go back for her own grandfather’s funeral?’

Qin Wenying came downstairs.

She first went to eat her noodles.

She was very fast.

She finished them in just a few minutes.

Her speed startled Fu Mingxue—her sister-in-law ate even faster than Qin Wenhao.

’Do all soldiers eat this fast?’

Just then, Qin Wenying’s hand landed on her shoulder. "Come on, let’s go upstairs to talk. Or we can go to your room."

Gao Lan had seen Qin Wenying come over and was about to greet her.

A smile was already on her face.

But in the end, her sister-in-law didn’t even glance her way.

It made the smile freeze on her face.
