Reborn in the 80s and Remarrying an Officer, Let the Ungrateful Cry!

Gao Lan demanded, ”Qin Wenze, what is that supposed to mean? Is your mother afraid I’ll abuse the two kids just because I’m their stepmother?”

”They’re used to living over there. There’s no need for them to come here. All right, let’s just drop it. There’s no point in talking about this anymore.”

”If the children don’t come over, what will other people think of me?”

Gao Lan’s words made Qin Wenze lose his patience completely. ”Let them think what they want. Besides, anyone with eyes can see they’re better off at the Qin Family Mansion. Are you really going to force the two kids to live here just for the sake of your reputation?”

”You know full well that after what happened last time, the two kids don’t want to be with us. Why do you have to upset the balance? And isn’t Yao Hui enough for you to worry about? If you squeeze three kids in here together, you think they won’t fight?”

The two of them erupted into another argument.

Qin Yaohui hid in his room, eavesdropping. ’My aunt and uncle fight every single day,’ he thought. ’The meat and chicken legs don’t seem so tasty anymore.’

Qin Wenying arrived at the First Auto Factory shortly after, but she was stopped at the gate by security. ”Comrade, this is the factory grounds. Outsiders can’t just enter. Who are you looking for?”

Qin Wenying had been about to say she was looking for Fu Mingxue.

But she changed her mind at the last second. ”I’m looking for Director Liu.”

”Do you have an appointment?”

”No, but this is my identification. I have something very important to discuss with Director Liu. Could you please inform him?”

Qin Wenying took out her ID and handed it to the security officer.

The security officer took one look at it and said, ”In that case, you can come right in with me.”

She was from a military unit; there was no need to run back and forth.

It was easier to just escort her there directly.

”Okay, thank you!”

Qin Wenying pushed her bicycle and went inside.

She followed the security officer into the factory grounds. After a short walk, they arrived at Director Liu’s office.

The security officer knocked on the office door first.

”Enter.”

The door was pushed open.

The security officer went in first. ”Director Liu, a comrade from the military is here to see you about an urgent matter.”

This made Director Liu pause.

’A comrade from the military? Urgent business with me?’

”Let him in.”

He had assumed it was a man.

So when Qin Wenying walked in, he was visibly taken aback.

”Comrade, what can I do for you?”

Qin Wenying said, ”I’m sorry. I’m actually here to see Fu Mingxue. I have something very important to discuss with her.”

Director Liu was speechless.

’Then why didn’t you just tell security you were looking for Fu Mingxue?’ he thought.

”Alright then. Wait here for a moment. I’ll call and have her come over.”

There was a phone in the conference room.

Director Liu directly dialed an internal line—

Fu Mingxue had been in a meeting with the engineers.

But someone came and told her that Director Liu wanted to see her immediately.

So, she told them to continue the discussion on their own.

She got up and went to Director Liu’s office herself.

When she saw Qin Wenying in the office, she was also visibly stunned, but her surprise quickly turned to delight.

”Wen Ying, what are you doing here?”

’She even found me all the way out here.’

The moment she saw her sister-in-law, Fu Mingxue realized Qin Wenying was the reason she’d been summoned.

”I need to talk to you about something. Are you done with your work?” Qin Wenying didn’t waste time on pleasantries.

Fu Mingxue shook her head. ”No, I’ll need about two more hours. Is it urgent?”

”It’s a bit urgent, but I can wait two hours. You go finish up. Come with me as soon as you’re done.”

”Okay.” Fu Mingxue couldn’t very well leave in the middle of her work. ”So for now, you—”

Director Liu quickly interjected, ”She can wait right here.”
