Chapter 106: Whatever, I Don’t Care Anymore

Fu Mingxue came downstairs.

The Qin family was already gathered.

Well, not everyone—two people were missing: Qin Wenhuo and… that eldest sister-in-law.

“Hello, Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom!”

All of them were the generous benefactors who gave her money yesterday.

“Good, good! Come, sit down and eat,” said Old Madam Qin, who was quite satisfied with this granddaughter-in-law.

This granddaughter-in-law was good-looking.

And as an old lady, she just liked pretty and pleasant girls.

Fu Mingxue obediently sat down.

At this moment, she also noticed the two children at the table.

The older one was a seven-year-old boy, whose features resembled his father’s.

The younger was a five-year-old girl, who was sneaking timid glances at her.

Fu Mingxue gave the little girl a gentle smile.

The little girl quickly lowered her head.

“Let’s eat.”

Once Old Master Qin spoke and started eating, the others picked up their chopsticks as well.

Qin’s mother said to Fu Mingxue, “Mingxue, help yourself to whatever you like. Don’t be shy, this is your home now.”

“Mom, I will. Don’t worry about me,” Fu Mingxue replied, completely at ease.

She ate with poise and confidence.

This made the Qin family like her even more.

By the end of the meal, Fu Mingxue was quite full—the food was really delicious.

As for why that eldest sister-in-law wasn’t there—Fu Mingxue didn’t ask.

Sometimes, it’s better not to meddle in other people’s business.

“Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, the twins are still at home, and they’ve just recovered from being sick. I’m worried about them, so I’ll head back now. I’ll come visit you all again when I have time.”

Qin’s mother had wanted her to stay a few more days, but considering the children, she nodded in agreement.

“All right. Come over whenever you have time.”

“Okay.” After saying goodbye to the Qin family, Fu Mingxue prepared to leave.

Just then, Qin Wenying called out to her, “Wait, I’ll take you.”

“Big Sis, it’s fine, I can manage on my own.”

“Come on.” Qin Wenying was not someone who took no for an answer.

She was already heading out.

Seeing this, Fu Mingxue had no choice but to follow.

Qin Wenying wasn’t riding a women’s bicycle, but a classic men’s “28” bike.

When she propped herself up with one foot, she looked seriously cool.

Fu Mingxue sat on the back seat.

“Big Sis, I heard you’re a pilot. That’s amazing!” Female pilots in this era were truly something else.

Fu Mingxue was genuinely in awe.

Qin Wenying’s lips curled into a small smile. “It’s all right.”

Fu Mingxue wasn’t usually very talkative, but now she started asking all sorts of questions about being a pilot.

Fortunately, Qin Wenying was patient this time and answered them all.

With Fu Mingxue’s directions, they soon arrived at the siheyuan (courtyard house).

“Big Sis, we’re here. This is the place. Why don’t you come in and sit for a while?”

“I’ve got things to do. Maybe next time.” With that, Qin Wenying turned her bike around and left.

Fu Mingxue: …?

Just then, the front gate opened, and it was her mother who came out.

Seeing her daughter return alone, she was a bit surprised.

“How come you’re back by yourself? Where’s your husband?”

She had thought they wouldn’t be back until at least tomorrow.

“He went out on a mission last night. It was Qin Wenhuo’s sister who brought me back.”

Mother Fu was shocked. “What? Your husband went on a mission? He left last night?”

“Yes,” Fu Mingxue replied, heading inside. “Mom, how were the kids last night?”

“They were well-behaved!” Mother Fu closed the door behind them.

As they walked back into the courtyard, she asked, “Wenhuo’s sister was just here—why didn’t you invite her in to sit for a while?”

“She had things to do!” Fu Mingxue didn’t say much more.

She still had some things to take care of today."
