Lu Wanqing suddenly felt wonderful. Was this considered Harvey’s filial piety?
“Harvey is more filial,” Lu Wanqing said with a smile.
Little Harvey immediately became happy: “Yes, yes!”
Xavier: “…” So, raising a cub yourself doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be close to you, right?
Xavier shook his head slightly. He couldn’t keep his son, who was leaning towards the other side. He really couldn’t afford to raise him anymore.
“Dad, a man, a real man, you argue with a woman, shameful, shameful!!!” Little Harvey suddenly made a face at Xavier.
Xavier lowered his eyes and said coldly, “Have you been spanked recently?”
As soon as he said this, Little Harvey’s backside instantly felt a tightness. He quickly ran behind his mommy to hide, only peeking out his head to glance at his dad.
Lu Wanqing found it amusing and looked at Xavier, saying, “Don’t scare him.”
Little Harvey quickly nodded: “Exactly, exactly, scaring children, you’re not capable!”
Lu Wanqing: “…” This cub would truly get himself into trouble one day if he got beaten, wouldn’t he? He was so good at attracting hatred.

Xavier said he would find a job for Lu Wanqing, and sure enough, the next day he brought back a mecha from the black market for her to repair.
Why didn’t he let Lu Wanqing go to the black market herself?
Xavier said that the black market was too chaotic, and Lu Wanqing had no self-protection ability. Going there would be like a piece of meat, liable to be devoured at any moment.
Lu Wanqing’s mood was complicated, but Xavier’s words weren’t unreasonable. Most importantly…
Lu Wanqing was beginning to understand this Xavier fellow. If something wasn’t too dangerous, he wouldn’t usually stop her from approaching it, and might even trick her into it. If he truly stopped her, it was probably because it was genuinely dangerous.
Anyway, all that mattered was getting paid.
However, repairing a mecha also required parts. Lu Wanqing inspected the mecha and identified the problematic areas and the parts that needed replacement. She had to buy them herself.
Lu Wanqing had no money, so she had to borrow from Xavier.
Xavier was surprisingly generous this time, and without a second word, he gave Lu Wanqing five million interstellar coins that he had earned.
With these interstellar coins, Lu Wanqing went out to buy parts. There were mecha parts on Muai Star, but after looking around, Lu Wanqing was not very satisfied.
She logged onto the Star Network to buy parts online.
For mechas, it was best to use Mu family products. Lu Wanqing unknowingly found herself back at the Mu Corporation.
She was currently using the optical computer Xavier gave her to log onto the Star Network, her identity information completely lacking any previous traces. Naturally, no one around recognized her.
Lu Wanqing didn’t want to endanger the space pirate gang or reveal her identity, so she could only wander around the vicinity as an ordinary citizen.
She hadn’t expected that this stroll would reveal new information: the all-civilian mecha manufacturing competition, being prepared by the Mu family, was about to begin. Most importantly, on the list of popular contenders for victory chosen by netizens, Lan Lan was ranked first!
So, Lan Lan would also participate in this mecha manufacturing competition?
Lu Wanqing couldn’t help but feel excited, wanting to cheer for her cub.
She quietly noted down the start time of the mecha manufacturing competition, then bought the mecha parts she wanted, and finally logged off.
The Mu family’s mecha businesses were spread throughout the entire federation. After Lu Wanqing placed her order, the order would be shipped from the nearest warehouse based on the customer’s location. Therefore, the time from ordering to receiving the package was not long, only three to four hours.
With the parts, repairing the mecha became easier. Lu Wanqing spent just over an hour to fix the mecha.
After deducting the cost of the parts, she directly earned thirty thousand, finally having some money, though not much.
Freed from poverty, the first thing Lu Wanqing did was take Harvey to the mall to shop and buy clothes!
Lan Lan, Xiao Yi, Shushu, and Duoduo had already bought plenty. Only Harvey hadn’t. This time, she had to buy him something!
Muai Star was a low-level planet. Lu Wanqing visited several malls but couldn’t find what she wanted. She couldn’t help it; the clothes here felt of such poor quality, far from the clothes she had bought for Lan Lan and Xiao Yi before… Of course, the prices were also much cheaper.
It was just that Lu Wanqing was used to buying clothes from the Imperial Capital Star, and looking at the clothes on Muai Star, she felt uncomfortable no matter what. Especially those clothes that felt rough to the touch, if she bought them, she would feel like she was letting Harvey down.
“Mommy, what’s wrong?” Little Harvey didn’t understand mommy’s hesitation. The malls here were so big, with so many clothes, so beautiful!
“It’s nothing, we’ll buy them on the Star Network,” Lu Wanqing said.
Interstellar era express delivery was very advanced. Even buying on the Star Network would arrive quickly, so there was no difference, except…
Lu Wanqing suddenly remembered something. She was very poor right now. After one job, she only earned thirty thousand. This thirty thousand might be gone after buying a few clothes for the little one?
But it was for her cub, so it was worth it.
Lu Wanqing thought, and felt reassured. If the money was gone, she could earn it again. Anyway, she had learned how to make and repair mechas, a very profitable line of work, so she wasn’t worried.
“On the Star Network?” Little Harvey asked expectantly.
“Mm,” Lu Wanqing nodded.
Lu Wanqing took the little one home, then logged into the Star Network pod and went onto the Star Network to buy clothes.
Arriving at a familiar mall, Lu Wanqing’s mood finally improved. The clothes in high-end malls were indeed much better.
Little Harvey also hadn’t expected mommy to bring him to such a mall. His eyes lit up, and he looked around curiously.
“Mommy, the things here are so expensive,” the little one said as he looked.
Lu Wanqing nodded: “Mm.”
“Dad never let me buy things here before,” Little Harvey continued to complain.
Lu Wanqing: “…”
Xavier wouldn’t be that stingy, would he?
“Are we going to buy clothes here?” Little Harvey asked expectantly.
“Mm, the quality of clothes here is much better,” Little Harvey said.
“Mommy, let’s look over there, those clothes look so cool!!!” Little Harvey quickly spotted a shop, his small legs speeding up.
“Harvey!” Lu Wanqing called out anxiously.
Entering the shop, she was even more speechless. These weren’t everyday clothes at all! These were cosplay outfits for online games!
“Harvey, these aren’t everyday clothes,” Lu Wanqing reminded him.
Little Harvey turned his head and looked at mommy blankly: “Can’t I buy them?”
Lu Wanqing: “…”
Who could resist her cub’s sad expression?
“Buy!” In just one second, Lu Wanqing changed her mind.
Little Harvey immediately became happy and super excited: “I want this one, and this one, and this one!!!”
Little Harvey immediately started excitedly choosing items inside, liking every single one.
The shop assistant was also happy and quickly smiled, saying, “Hello, esteemed customer, you can try on anything you like~”
“Really?” Little Harvey said excitedly.
“Yes, would the young master like to try them on?” the assistant asked.
“Yes!” Little Harvey agreed without thinking.
