Chapter 115: A Mission Has Arrived
Mrs. Fu: ...?
What? An enemy?
They had only been in Beijing City for a few days at the very most. How did her daughter already have an enemy?
"Who bullied you?" Mrs. Fu demanded, her expression murderous.
Seeing her mom’s expression, Fu Mingxue’s heart warmed.
"Mom, who could possibly bully me? Have you forgotten how strong I am? Here’s what happened..."
She concisely explained how she had made an enemy of Zhao Sisi.
Mrs. Fu: ...? ’So, my daughter was just caught in the crossfire?’
"These young women in Beijing City are so unreasonable."
"You can’t generalize like that. My sister-in-law is wonderful—a very impressive person. She can even fly a plane. There are only a few bad apples."
’That’s my dream!’
Mrs. Fu: ...? ’Fly a plane?’
’What kind of plane? The kind that flies in the sky?’
’Oh my god—is this sister-in-law really that capable?’
"Well, you’re just unlucky then. In a city this big, you managed to run into one of the few bad ones. I hope you don’t run into the rest of them!"
Fu Mingxue: ...?
’Who’s unlucky?’
’All right, so I am pretty unlucky.’
In her past life, she’d been enslaved her whole life, only to meet such a miserable end.
To this day, she still didn’t understand how she could have been so foolish in her past life.
"Mom, I’m going to go wash up."
"Okay, and hurry up and change out of those clothes. You need to wash that bloodstain out."
’It’s not even past the New Year celebrations! So unlucky.’
"Okay." Fu Mingxue went to wash her hands first.
Then she returned to her room and changed her clothes.
Only then did she go see her two children sitting in their high chairs.
"My darlings, Mommy’s here."
’I need to figure out a way to improve these chairs.’
’If I put four wheels on the bottom, they could push themselves around, couldn’t they?’
’When the time comes, they’ll probably start walking.’
"Come on, say ’Mama’—"
She took out two small cookies.
The two children’s eyes were fixed on the cookies—the desire to eat was written all over their faces.
"Gwanma—"
"Gwanma—"
Two childish voices called out.
Fu Mingxue: ?...
’Why are you calling for Grandma? You’re supposed to call for Mama.’
Mrs. Fu, who happened to be walking in just then, heard them and beamed with joy. "Aww, my sweeties, Grandma’s here."
She shot Fu Mingxue a glare. "Why are you teasing the children? Hurry up and give them the cookies—"
She snatched the small cookies and gave them to the two little ones.
Being just over a year old, the children naturally knew how to hold the small cookies and eat them on their own.
"Where did these come from? They smell amazing!" Mrs. Fu asked.
"I bought them at the Friendship Store. I’ll give you some in a bit."
’Actually, that wasn’t true.’
’They were the pack of cookies she received as a reward after reading for an hour last night.’
’They were milk-flavored. Of course they smelled good.’
’She seriously suspected the system gave her these rewards specifically for the two children.’
Mrs. Fu nodded. "Alright, give them to me. I’ll feed them to the kids later."
After playing with the children for a while, Fu Mingxue saw that her mom was watching them, so she returned to her own room.
She began to ponder her future—the incident with Zhao Sisi had made one thing very clear to her.
’Only when I’m strong will people not dare to provoke me. It’s better to rely on myself than on others.’
’No matter how powerful the Qin family is, they’re just the icing on the cake.’
’I have to be capable on my own.’
’Besides, it was my dream from my past life to join the research institute.’
’If I wait four years to get in, it’ll be too long.’
’Is there any way to get in earlier?’
Just then, the system’s holographic screen suddenly appeared.
Fu Mingxue couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. ’Is a mission here?’
Enter the research institute within one month, reward: one siheyuan.
A complete set of physics textbooks.
Fu Mingxue’s eyes were glued to the words "a complete set of physics textbooks," unable to look away.
’Oh my god, is this real?’
