Chapter 385: Don’t Mind Her, She’s Been Like This Since She Was a Child

"Ms. Sheng, if you don’t know what to say, then just don’t speak. You’re honestly terrifying when you talk."

Mrs. Qin patted her on the back.

"So disrespectful. Right, let me introduce you. This is your sister-in-law, Gao Lan. You two should get acquainted."

She hadn’t even given the woman a proper look since walking through the door.

’What an awful temper.’

’Anyone who didn’t know better would think she couldn’t stand her!’

Gao Lan hadn’t expected her mother-in-law to suddenly introduce her to her sister-in-law.

When her sister-in-law’s lazy gaze drifted over to her, she immediately forced a smile. "H-hello—"

Qin Wenying: ...?

’Am I going to eat her or something?’

She took a moment to reflect.

’Was I out of line? No.’

Still, one thing did occur to her.

’This marriage isn’t a simple matter—it’s my brother who’s the real scumbag here!’

How long had it even been since the divorce?

Her little niece hadn’t even recovered from the trauma, yet he was already getting remarried so quickly.

’Tsk. What a piece of work.’

She gave her new sister-in-law a slight nod, which she considered a greeting.

Then she averted her gaze and said to her mother, Ms. Sheng, "I’m going out to see someone about something. I’ll be back on my own later."

Without waiting for Mrs. Qin to reply, she walked straight out.

Gao Lan’s smile froze on her face.

A flicker of humiliation showed in her eyes.

In her heart, Mrs. Qin gave her unpredictable daughter a thorough scolding.

"Don’t mind her. She’s been like that since she was a little girl."

Gao Lan: ...?

’If I hadn’t seen how chummy she was with Fu Mingxue just now, I might have actually believed my mother-in-law.’

Taking a deep breath, she suppressed the torrent of her emotions.

Then, she put her smile back on. "Mom, I’m fine. Wenzhe is always telling me how incredible Wen Ying is. I really admire her."

Hearing this, Mrs. Qin couldn’t help but smile. "Her personality is strong, that’s all. She can fly a plane, but that’s about it."

Still, the pride in her voice was hard to miss.

After all, there really weren’t many women flying planes these days.

Fu Mingxue first went home to drop off her things, then got back on her bicycle and hurried toward the First Auto Factory.

By the time she arrived at Director Liu’s office, it wasn’t even eight o’clock.

"Director Liu, here are the blueprints. Please take a look."

Fu Mingxue handed over the finished blueprints.

Director Liu quickly took them and unfolded them.

"The materials used are all upgraded versions; I’ve noted that on here. The pistons and connecting rods have also been modified. In addition, this cooling system is better than the original—"

Fu Mingxue explained each point one by one.

The more Director Liu listened, the more delighted he became.

"Group Leader Fu, you truly live up to your reputation as an expert in this field. You’re amazing."

To have such skills at such a young age was truly remarkable.

Fu Mingxue smiled. "Alright then. If any problems come up, you can give me a call."

"Okay, I will. By the way, are you heading back soon?" Director Liu asked.

Fu Mingxue nodded. "Yes. My work here is done, so I have to go back."

She didn’t specify her departure time, and Director Liu was smart enough not to ask.

He simply said, "Well, I wish you a safe journey."

"Goodbye!" Fu Mingxue didn’t linger.

After bidding farewell to Director Liu, she rode her bicycle home.

The next morning.

Fu Mingxue had just gotten out of bed when she heard a knock on the door.

She went to open it.

"Xiao Zhao, what are you doing here so early?"

"Group Leader Fu, I came to drop off your train ticket. It’s for the ten o’clock train this morning. I wanted to bring it over first, and then I’ll be back at eight-thirty to take you to the station."

He had actually come by the previous evening, but he saw the main gate was locked and went back.

"You can just come at nine." That way, she wouldn’t have to wait at the train station for too long.

Xiao Zhao immediately nodded. "Okay."
