Chapter 741: Even I Benefited From It

When Chuxue woke up, it was already broad daylight outside.

Du Juan looked at her opening her eyes and said, "Cousin, if you don't wake up soon, I was about to call you."

Chuxue, still half-asleep, asked, "What time is it?"

Only after asking did she remember Du Juan didn't have a watch; she reached by the pillow, grabbed her watch, glanced at the time, and said, "Indeed, it's time to get up."

She didn't linger in bed, since she still had to return to the factory in a while.

After a simple tidying up, just as they were about to leave, they heard knocking from outside.

Chuxue walked straight to the door, pulled it open, and saw the female comrade who had brought them over last night standing outside: "What is this?"

The female comrade handed over the lunch box and enamel mug in her hands: "Comrade Fu asked me to bring this. He said once you finish eating, go to where you got off the bus yesterday; he will take you there."

Chuxue thanked her and took the lunch box and enamel mug.

As soon as the female comrade left, Du Juan laughed, "Cousin, your future brother-in-law is truly good to you; even I'm benefiting from it."

The corners of Chuxue's mouth lifted: "Enough, stop teasing; hurry up and eat so we can return to the factory."

Inside the lunch box stood four steamed buns vertically; the enamel rice mug was filled to the brim with porridge, and a brown paper bag hung from the handle.

Opening it revealed pickled vegetables.

Du Juan couldn't help but sigh again: "Your future brother-in-law is really thoughtful; he even prepared pickled vegetables."

To be honest, Chuxue also thought he was quite thoughtful.

The two moved quickly and soon arrived at the place where they had gotten off the bus last night, carrying the washed lunch box and enamel rice mug.

Seeing Fu Yan Cheng already waiting there, his face showed obvious signs of fatigue: "Have you eaten?"

Fu Yan Cheng took the lunch box from her hand while replying, "Yes."

Chuxue knew the matter from last night couldn't end so quickly: "There's still time; Du Juan and I can take the bus back to the factory. You don't need to see us off; find a place to nap for a while, or you won't have energy during the day."

Fu Yan Cheng raised the lunch box in his hand and gestured toward Kong Yizhang in the distance.

Kong Yizhang walked over and took the lunch box: "Clearly, the one suffering is me..."

Fu Yan Cheng didn't let him continue: "Once things are done, Chuxue and I will treat you to a meal; you choose the place."

Kong Yizhang laughed this time: "Fine, I've been waiting for you to say that."

Chuxue smiled: "Bring your wife and children then; let us all get to know each other."

Kong Yizhang looked at Fu Yan Cheng; the meaning was unmistakable.

They heard Fu Yan Cheng say, "My Chuxue makes the decisions."

Kong Yizhang laughed outright: "Then let's listen to the younger sister-in-law; we'll sit together then."

Having said that, without waiting for Fu Yan Cheng to urge him away, he greeted Chuxue, nodded at Du Juan, and left with the lunch box.

Fu Yan Cheng opened the car door: "Let's go; I'll take you back to the factory."

Chuxue reached out to close the car door: "Looking at you, you must not have slept all night. There's still time; the two of us can go back on our own."

Fu Yan Cheng disagreed: "I brought you away, so naturally I must return you safely. Moreover, there might be some fish that slipped through the net last night; your safety is most important."

Chuxue glanced at the office building nearby, thought it over, and agreed; she herself was fine to say, but if something really happened, there was still Du Juan: "Alright then, I'll listen to you."

Du Juan didn't interject; with her cousin present, whatever she said, she would just follow along.

After the car had driven a short distance, Fu Yan Cheng finally spoke: "By the way, there's news from Yao Qidong."

Before he could continue, Chuxue interrupted: "Let's talk about this later."

Fu Yan Cheng immediately understood her meaning; it seemed staying awake all night had truly made him a bit dazed, forgetting there was someone in the car who didn't know the details.

Chuxue certainly hadn't told her family about that matter; he cleared his throat lightly: "Alright."
