Lu Yuanyuan hated so much that an evil thought uncontrollably arose in her heart: If only Lu Wanqing would disappear. Lu Wanqing didn't belong in this world in the first place; she shouldn't be in the interstellar era!
Returning to her room, Lu Yuanyuan sat in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror. She suddenly had a brilliant idea!
The interstellar era was so vast. If Lu Wanqing accidentally met with some mishap, wouldn't that be quite normal?
The news of the launch of the ultra-3S mecha was too shocking. The other big shots were also drawn to the news, but after understanding the details, they were bewildered.
Designed by Lu Wanqing?
Was that a joke?
What was Mu Sijie playing at? He actually let Lu Wanqing apply for the patent for the ultra-3S mecha. Wasn't he afraid of losing out? Did the Mu family have no objections?
Wei Xingzhou, unable to contain his curiosity, immediately opened his optical computer terminal and pulled Yu Nong and Zhong Li Feiyu into a group chat.
He didn't pull Mu Sijie in because Mu Sijie was currently busy at the press conference. They were watching the live stream, so they naturally knew that Mu Sijie was too busy for group chats.
However, Wei Xingzhou waited for a while and found that only Yu Nong responded to his message and joined the group chat. Zhong Li Feiyu hadn't reacted at all, which made him a little strange.
But it was only for a moment. Wei Xingzhou quickly cast his curiosity aside. Perhaps Zhong Li Feiyu had something going on, or maybe he was at the ultra-3S mecha press conference? So he was too busy to join their group chat?
Having Yu Nong in was enough. Wei Xingzhou immediately grabbed him as soon as he saw him, opened his mouth, and blabbered, "Hey, bookworm, did you know the Mu family is launching an ultra-3S mecha today?"
"Mu Sijie actually said the ultra-3S mecha was independently created by Lu Wanqing and let Lu Wanqing apply for the patent. What do you think he means? Is there some kind of conspiracy behind this?"
Wei Xingzhou stroked his chin, his eyes darting around. The more he thought about it, the more bizarre it seemed. How could Mu Sijie, that smiling tiger, do something like this? It was an ultra-3S mecha! He actually let Lu Wanqing apply for the patent!
Yu Nong didn't move, his demeanor as calm as ever. "I don't know."
Wei Xingzhou: "..."
Wei Xingzhou was annoyed. Why did no one else come, and only this bookworm showed up?
"Where's Zhong Li Feiyu? Why isn't he here?" Wei Xingzhou, being impatient, asked without thinking.
Yu Nong also lowered his gaze to his terminal, then, with a blank expression, said again, "I don't know."
Wei Xingzhou fell silent. After a long while, he stared at Yu Nong and raised his wrist, about to leave the group chat. But just as he was about to exit, he suddenly stopped.
Since Zhong Li Feiyu and Mu Sijie, those scoundrels, were not here, could he take the opportunity to talk to the bookworm about something?
Thinking this, Wei Xingzhou became excited. He crept closer to Yu Nong, reached out, and put his arm around Yu Nong's shoulders like a good friend, grinning and saying, "Little bookworm, since they're all absent, why don't we chat together?"
Wei Xingzhou's eyes were full of cunning, making him look very sly, as if he were plotting something, which made people wary.
Yu Nong, expressionless, reached out and tore off Wei Xingzhou's hand on his shoulder, quietly stepping back a pace, maintaining his guard.
Wei Xingzhou wasn't affected by being pushed away. He continued on his own, "Bookworm, how has your daughter been lately? Does she miss Mommy?"
As Wei Xingzhou spoke, he became regretful. He sighed, "My Cui Cui used to cry every day asking for her mother when she was little. Although she's grown up now and doesn't clamor for her mother anymore, ever since Lu Wanqing was resurrected, she's been very attentive to news about Lu Wanqing."
"Cui Cui has really grown up. Every time she looks at Lu Wanqing's information, she pretends not to care, then turns around and secretly checks for news. When I ask her, she still denies it!"
"But I've seen it all. Her optical computer terminal is full of traces of visits to the Mu family. Every time I'm not around, she immediately logs onto the Star Network and sneaks over to the Mu family's side!"
Yu Nong's eyes flickered upon hearing Wei Xingzhou's words. His previously indifferent attitude turned into one of subtle attention.
As Wei Xingzhou spoke, he suddenly looked up. He reached out again, put his arm around Yu Nong's shoulders, and lowered his voice, saying, "Bookworm, why don't we steal Lu Wanqing away?"
"Mu Sijie and Zhong Li Feiyu's offspring are both boys, and they are much more resilient. Unlike us, both our families have daughters. Our little precious daughters are very sensitive. They may not admit it on the surface, but they actually miss their mothers dearly!"
"Think about it. If she stays with one family for a year, Lu Wanqing will first take care of the boys from our two families. By the time it's our daughters' turn, how long will that be? Our precious daughters will be driven mad!"
Wei Xingzhou said indignantly, pulling Yu Nong's hand, his face full of expectation. "Bookworm, don't you think my idea is brilliant? If we join forces..."
"Even if we join forces, we can't beat them," Yu Nong said expressionlessly, shattering Wei Xingzhou's unrealistic fantasy.
Wei Xingzhou: "..."
"You're so boring. If we can't fight, can't we use our wits?" Wei Xingzhou said after a moment of silence, pouting.
Mu Sijie is a mecha designer, and Zhong Li Feiyu is a mecha pilot. Who could possibly defeat them? Probably very few people in the entire federation could!
"Besides, can you bear to watch your precious daughter wait like that, enduring for years just to see Lu Wanqing and enjoy maternal love?" Wei Xingzhou couldn't help but complain.
Yu Nong frowned slightly. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "According to the previous rules, my family is a year earlier than yours."
The implication was that Wei Xingzhou's family was last, and his daughter wouldn't have to wait that long.
"You... just shut up!" Wei Xingzhou was furious. Cursing under his breath, he turned and directly exited the group chat.
But the next second, Wei Xingzhou received a communication. It was from Yu Nong.
Wei Xingzhou stared at the incoming call display, hesitated for a second, then answered.
Yu Nong's projection appeared in Wei Xingzhou's dressing room.
Wei Xingzhou's face was sullen, and he glared at Yu Nong, "Why are you calling me?"
Yu Nong was still the same, with his black hair and expressionless face. He looked at Wei Xingzhou, hesitated for three seconds, then said, "I agree."
What?
Wei Xingzhou was stunned. After a while, he reacted and abruptly stood up, looking at Yu Nong in shock. "Bookworm, what did you say? Agree to what?"
"You're right. A few years is indeed too long for children, especially girls. I agree with your suggestion. We'll figure out a way to steal Lu Wanqing away," Yu Nong said to Wei Xingzhou with a calm expression.
Wei Xingzhou was dumbfounded. He raised his hand, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then rubbed his ears. Was he seeing things? Was this really the bookworm Yu Nong in front of him?
Had his ears misheard?
Did the bookworm just agree?
Agreed to go with him to steal Lu Wanqing?
Thinking this, Wei Xingzhou suddenly became excited. He jumped up, raised his hand, and then forcibly pulled Yu Nong's hand to high-five him. He said happily, "That's right! Both our offspring are daughters, and they need to be pampered. We can't delay. Their families have boys, so waiting a few more years is fine!"
