Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s-Chapter 1252 Repaying a Peach with a Plum

Ji Wei and Lu Yichen went back first, carrying things with them.

Luo Qiao and Ji Lin took the kids into the restaurant next door. The business there was really booming, and they took a seat in a private room.

Ji Lin held the menu and asked the children, "Babies, come, look, what would you like to eat?"

Yanyan tilted her little face up, "Auntie Ji, we’re not picky eaters."

Ji Lin smiled and said, "Not picky, eh? Do you like sweets? The honey jujube rice cakes here are particularly delicious. Would you like to try some?"

Yanyan nodded, "Yes, Yueyue loves them the most."

Ji Lin called the waiter over to start ordering dishes, mainly choosing what women and children liked, and only at the end did she order a few spicy dishes for Ji Wei and Lu Yichen.

Luo Qiao looked at Ji Lin, "Have you told your family about your pregnancy yet?"

Ji Lin took a sip of boiled water from her glass, "I have. We were actually planning to go back down south for the New Year, but the day before we left, we found out I was pregnant at the hospital. Ji Wei decided right away that we wouldn’t go back.

You don’t know, when the phone call went through, my mother-in-law stopped talking as soon as she heard we weren’t coming back. When Ji Wei said it was because I was pregnant that we couldn’t go back, she got so happy.

The difference in her reaction before and after was just too great. She instantly became chatty with a thousand cautions and advices, as if she wished she could fly over herself."

Luo Qiao listened to Ji Lin finishing her story with a smile and then said, "You have a good mother-in-law. You guys only got married this year; she definitely was looking forward to you coming back to spend the New Year together, and she must have started preparing early. When she suddenly heard you weren’t coming back, she must have felt bad, which is understandable.

But now that you’re pregnant, your mother-in-law couldn’t care less about anything else. She must be overjoyed, which is a normal reaction. Who knows, in a few days she might come over personally to visit you, the great contributor. Just sweet-talk a little; a mother-in-law is also a mother. If you two get along well, Ji Wei will be happy too."

Ji Lin nodded, "Will do."

Ji Wei and Lu Yichen arrived when the dishes were starting to be served.

Throughout the meal, there was joyful conversation among everyone.

Ji Lin didn’t know whether it was because she was in a good mood today or if the food really suited her taste, but she actually ate quite a bit without any particular reaction.

Watching the kids with their cute expressions, she daydreamed about what her own child would look like in the future, her face full of softness.

Luo Qiao heard from Ji Wei that there was a shoe market in the East Suburb going up for auction and asked for some specifics. She contemplated asking Fang Shiliang to bid for it. Although she hadn’t decided what to do with it, acquiring it would be profitable, whether she leased it out or later developed it into a residential complex.

Ever since Lu Yichen transferred the transport company, security firm, and construction company into his own name, aside from handling the handover personally once before, Xu Shifan was managing everything, and she basically just reviewed the financial statements. However, Lu Yichen often visited when he had the time.

Lu Yichen, seeing Luo Qiao’s expression, knew what she was thinking.

After the meal, Ji Wei and Ji Lin watched Lu Yichen drive off before they walked back together.

Ji Lin looked at Ji Wei with a smile, "Thank you, Ji Wei."

"Wife, why thank me? What have I done?"

"Thank you for telling Qiaoqiao about the auction of the factory in East Suburb."

"Silly, even if I hadn’t mentioned it, they would have known about it in a few days. It was just about giving a favor in advance, letting them prepare ahead of time. In the end, it will still take real strength to win the bid."

Ji Lin said, "Still, I thank you. Not many people know that Qiaoqiao has a construction company in her name. If I hadn’t run into Fang Shiliang while I was with her that time, I wouldn’t have known that the company was hers."

Ji Wei spoke indulgently, "Alright, your friend really treats you well too. I was just reciprocating the favor."

Ji Lin responded, "Without Qiaoqiao, I’d still be stuck in some corner working nine to five."

On the other side, Lu Yichen spoke up, "Interested in that plot of land?"

Luo Qiao hummed softly in agreement, making sure the kids were seated properly, "I haven’t thought of a specific plan yet, but getting it will always be useful. Even renting it out or developing it into properties later won’t be a loss.

Fang Shiliang’s business has been doing well these past few years; consider it hoarding land for him. Anyhow, the money in my hands isn’t doing much good just sitting there; it’s better used for bidding on land."

Regarding the Jun family’s affairs, Luo Qiao hadn’t kept anything from Lu Yichen, so he was also aware of what she had obtained, just not the specifics.

Lu Yichen said, "Okay, leave this to me. I’ll have Fang Shiliang take a look in advance and get prepared."

They drove straight back to the second entry of the compound. Having called ahead, as the car approached the gate, Elder Rong and Rong Daniang came out to welcome them.

Having not seen the children for two days, they had been anxious. Seeing the kids return, their faces were all smiles, "Quick, quick, come inside. We’ve been waiting for you to come back."

Lu Yichen took out the things the grandparents had prepared from the trunk before closing the car door, and the family headed inside.
