"Lu Yuanyuan, who do you think you are? Why should I marry you?" Mu Sijie retorted angrily, his voice cold.
Mu Sijie's icy gaze fixed on Lu Yuanyuan, and he spoke each word deliberately, "Is it because you are Lu Zhenhao's daughter? Or is it that without Lu Zhenhao as your father, you are nothing?"
"You!!!" Lu Yuanyuan was stunned by Mu Sijie's words, especially in front of so many people. Her face instantly turned extremely ugly.
"Mu Sijie, you will regret this!!!" Lu Yuanyuan could no longer stand it. Angrily, she threw the flowers in her hand. Her eyes were already red as she stared at Mu Sijie and Lu Wanqing, shouting tearfully, "I will definitely make you regret this!"
Lu Yuanyuan grabbed her skirt and turned to run away crying.
Mu Sirui watched Lu Yuanyuan leave and instinctively wanted to chase after her. But after a few steps, she suddenly remembered the mess left at the door and became afraid, feeling an indescribable nervousness.
Mu Sirui stayed. She looked at Mu Sijie uneasily, afraid her elder brother would be angry.
Mu Sijie stared at the flowers filling the doorway and asked coldly, "Who allowed her to do this at our house?"
Everyone knew the answer to this question in their hearts.
Mu Sirui nervously stepped forward, saying hesitantly, "Big Brother, I..."
Mu Sijie looked at Mu Sirui and said sternly, "I don't want to see similar incidents happen again."
Mu Sirui was startled and quickly agreed, "Okay, okay."
"Uncle Bojian, please clean up the doorway. From now on, don't let such messy things appear at our house," Mu Sijie said coldly to the butler.
The butler was also uneasy and quickly replied, "Yes, Young Master, I'll have someone clean it up immediately."
"I hate it too!" Mu Lan pouted, kicking away the flowers at the door in annoyance.
Mu Sijie turned to Lu Wanqing and nodded slightly, saying, "Don't mind them, let's go inside."
Lu Wanqing, having witnessed quite a scene, quickly nodded, "Mm-hmm, okay."
The butler, with the help of the household robots, efficiently cleaned up all the items at the door. Everything was restored to its original state, as if Lu Yuanyuan had never been there. Lu Wanqing watched with a sigh.
Lu Yuanyuan's little drama seemed to have nothing to do with Lu Wanqing. The next day, Lu Wanqing returned to her normal life. Every morning, she made breakfast, waited for the little one to finish eating, and then sent the child to school. She returned to the Mu family and continued to immerse herself in the top-floor library, diligently researching mechs. When it was time to pick up Mu Sijie from kindergarten in the afternoon, she went with him to pick up the child from school. Finally, they returned home and she would spend time with little Mu Lan, teaching him mech crafting.
Another month passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Lu Wanqing drew several more mech design blueprints and worked on them with little Mu Lan. Together, they built the mechs. However...
Occasionally, small accidents occurred during mech testing, such as accidentally destroying a flower bed in the Mu family's garden, or accidentally smashing a hole in the roof of the small greenhouse in the Mu family's courtyard.
The Mu family considered these losses insignificant, but Lu Wanqing felt responsible and insisted on covering the repair costs herself. The most noticeable consequence was that the balance in her personal datapad was decreasing at a visible rate.
Since arriving in the interstellar era, Lu Wanqing had never worried about star coins. This was the first time she realized that perhaps she should find a way to earn money. Playing with mechs was too expensive, from the cost of various materials for building mechs to the accidental damage caused to the Mu family's environment during testing. Lu Wanqing inexplicably felt a financial crisis.
Fortunately, she was now an A-class mech master, and she could sell the mechs she built.
A-class mechs were also considered luxurious items in the interstellar era, with each one selling for at least two to three million, enough to buy a house. Lu Wanqing sold several A-class mechs she had practiced with during this period, and finally recouped some of her expenses, making it not a total loss.
"Mommy!" Just as Lu Wanqing was calculating her accounts, Mu Lan's excited voice suddenly came from outside.
Lu Wanqing was startled and sat up from the bed. She looked at Mu Lan, dressed in a cute little orange loungewear, running in from outside. The little one was holding up the datapad on his right wrist and shouting excitedly, "I drew the mech design! I drew it!!!"
The little one was extremely excited. He rushed to Lu Wanqing, impatiently opened his datapad terminal, and projected the mech blueprints he had drawn.
Lu Wanqing was also pleasantly surprised. She immediately examined the design blueprints the little one had drawn. Upon seeing them, she became excited. She squatted down, scooped the child into her arms, and kissed him hard.
"Ahhh, Lan Lan is so smart! Just as expected of Mommy's child!" Lu Wanqing exclaimed excitedly, hugging the child.
This design blueprint was flawless. Although it wasn't as sophisticated as her A-class mech blueprints, it was already a decent design for an ordinary low-level mech. If built, it might become a complete mech.
"Let's go buy materials and build the mech you designed!" The next moment, Lu Wanqing looked into little Mu Lan's eyes and said seriously and excitedly.
"Okay!" Little Mu Lan looked into his mommy's eyes and also nodded excitedly, extremely happy.
Lu Wanqing was used to buying mech materials on the star network. She rubbed the little one's head and said, "Let's go, we're going to the star network!"
"Mm!" Little Mu Lan nodded heavily again.
Lu Wanqing's star network pod and the little one's star network pod were not in the same place. However, after months of getting along, Lu Wanqing had basically become comfortable letting the little one go to his own laboratory to log into the star network pod by himself.
They separated and each entered their own star network pod to log into the star network, then met there.
To become a mech master, one not only needed to draw design blueprints but also select materials and independently build the mech.
The first mech was built by Lu Wanqing and the little one together. This time, Lu Wanqing intended not to interfere, allowing him to independently go through the entire process from design blueprints to material selection to the final mech construction. She would accompany him through the operations but would not intervene.
Lu Wanqing took little Mu Lan directly to the mech material mall on the star network and let the little one choose the materials he needed.
"Lan Lan, choose whatever materials you need, and Mommy will buy them for you," Lu Wanqing said.
The Mu family was not short of materials, but Lu Wanqing felt that as a mother, investing in her child occasionally during his learning process was only natural.
"Mm!" Little Mu Lan immediately nodded happily. He was very pleased.
