Lu Wanqing subconsciously raised her wrist, wanting to access her light brain. Where? Where could she see it?
Her bewildered and innocent look was too adorable. Mu Jie watched through the projection, unable to suppress a chuckle. He didn't have the heart to remind her, so he could watch her a little longer.
Lu Wanqing searched for a long time, and finally found the fixed assets section in her light brain's personal profile. She clicked the button, and the long list made her heart pound.
Holy crap!
It was really houses!
Four houses!!!
Four aircraft!
Five hovercars!
The reason there were five hovercars was because she had bought one herself when she was at Zhong Li's place!
Lu Wanqing thought, and suddenly felt she had lost out. If she had known she also had hovercars, why had she bought a car before? Such a waste of money!!!
It took Lu Wanqing a full ten seconds to calm herself down. She took a deep breath, then turned to look at Mu Jie. That look was filled with complexity. Why hadn't they reminded her of such an important matter before?
The aggrieved expression on her face was too obvious. Mu Jie reacted and was also a little puzzled, "Didn't you confirm it before?"
Seeing that she truly didn't know, Mu Jie said with inexplicable seriousness, "The compensation matters were all handled by the butler. He should have confirmed everything with you."
"They didn't tell you?" Mu Jie frowned.
This shouldn't be. Negotiations should only be completed when both parties are fully aware. How could Lu Wanqing know nothing about the compensation being settled?
"I'll ask Uncle Mu later," Mu Jie said seriously after a long pause.
"Oh... no need," Lu Wanqing quickly replied, realizing.
But Mu Jie didn't listen to her. This was a very important matter and needed to be clarified.
However, Wanqing's matters were more important right now. Mu Jie looked at her and asked with concern, "Are you going to move into your own house now?"
"Do you know where those houses are?"
"Do you want me to accompany you?"
Mu Jie asked several questions in one breath, showing his deep concern.
Lu Wanqing didn't really understand how houses worked in the interstellar era. In the Mu family, Zhong Li family, and Yu family, they all had their own masters. She was just a guest, and she just followed them. But her own home...
"When are you going to see your new home? I'll arrange my work and accompany you," Mu Jie said in the next moment.
Lu Wanqing was a bit conflicted, "Will it be too much trouble for you? Why don't you have the butler come over? Let the butler accompany me."
"No, wait for me for one day. I'll arrange my work today and accompany you to see the houses tomorrow," Mu Jie arranged directly in the next moment.
Lu Wanqing: "..."
Lu Wanqing didn't know what else to say. After a long pause, she could only say earnestly, "Thank you, Jie."
Mu Jie smiled gently, "Wanqing, you don't need to be so polite with me."
After ending the communication, Mu Jie looked at his light brain and couldn't help but smile. His plan was working. Wanqing was getting closer to him, and even though she was at the Yu family, she still thought of him when something happened!
However, he thought, it should be this way. Zhong Li Feiyu, even if he liked Wanqing, his ironclad personality from the military probably didn't know how to chase girls. As for Yu Nong, that dullard, it was even more out of the question.
The only one to be wary of was Wei Xingzhou!
When Mu Jie thought of Wei Xingzhou, he suddenly felt a great sense of crisis. He knew how to chase girls better than Zhong Li Feiyu and Yu Nong. But compared to Wei Xingzhou...
No, he had to find a way to prevent it in advance.
He absolutely couldn't let Wei Xingzhou fall in love with Wanqing too!!!
Lu Wanqing was not entirely aware of Mu Jie's thoughts. At the Yu family at this moment, after ending the communication with Mu Jie, the heavy stone in Lu Wanqing's heart was finally lifted.
With a house, she had her own world. If the sky fell, she would have a place to live, no need to worry anymore!
Moreover, with four houses, the remaining three could be rented out. Even if she couldn't work in the future, collecting rent could sustain her life, right?
Rent for houses in the imperial capital should not be cheap.
So... her future life could actually be worry-free long ago?
Of course, this kind of worry-free life might only be for ordinary people. To live a more beautiful life, she still needed to continue to work hard.
Lu Wanqing thought, feeling very happy. But at the same time, thinking about her conversation with Mu Jie just now, she couldn't help but feel puzzled.
They compensated her with so many things, why didn't she know anything about it before? She had no memory of it at all?
Lu Wanqing thought, and suddenly remembered that when they discussed compensation before, the staff at the Academy of Sciences had said that the call records would be saved as evidence, so that neither party could go back on their word later.
Evidence...
It seemed to be in triplicate: one copy for the Academy of Sciences, one for her, and one for the person she was trading with.
She opened her light brain and started to explore again. After searching for a long time, she finally found the file in her personal profile.
Communications in the interstellar era not only recorded sound but also preserved projections. So when the file opened, the communication records from that time appeared before her eyes in video format. Everything was very clear.
Steward Mu, Uncle Xiao, Yu Nong, and Wei Xingzhou's assistant, they had all explained to her clearly how much money, houses, aircraft, and hovercars they were compensating, and then she agreed.
Everything was settled, and the communication records seemed fine, but why did she have no memory of it?
Lu Wanqing tried hard to recall the feeling at that time. Her memory seemed very vague. She couldn't quite remember how she felt then. It was as if... there were too many things in the interstellar era, dazzling her eyes. So many things were crammed into her brain at once, and so many people came to find her. Suddenly, she couldn't react properly. When they came to negotiate with her, she couldn't understand much either and agreed in a muddle.
Lu Wanqing thought, and inexplicably felt a sense of lingering fear. She seemed to have been very confused at that time, acting in a muddled way.
But she still needed to get to the bottom of things.
She wouldn't see the houses until tomorrow. She had the whole day today. After thinking about it, Lu Wanqing decided to go out, drive her own hovercar, and go to the Academy of Sciences.
It had been more than two years since she left. This was Lu Wanqing's first time back, and her mood was a little complicated. However, thinking about the protective statement the Academy of Sciences' official Weibo had specially issued for her the last time she had an incident at the Zhong Li residence, she felt a warmth.
Perhaps the people in the interstellar era were right. The Federal Academy of Sciences was her maternal home. She had no relatives in the interstellar era, but the Federation was her relative, her family.
Lu Wanqing thought, and then went in.
When the staff saw her return, they were surprised, then delighted. Many people came out. They were all very happy to see her back.
"Miss Lu, why have you returned?" The staff member who had been responsible for taking care of Lu Wanqing before was even more excited and was the first to come over, enthusiastically talking to Lu Wanqing.
