96: Chapter 96 With a daughter-in-law, is the son just a free gift with a phone top-up?

2018, New Year's Eve.

Just yesterday, Lu Li and Su Qingxue attended the company's year-end banquet meeting.

Since the Robot Company stopped setting up stalls, the number of people at the headquarters had increased more and more.

After all, the Guanghui Robot Company alone had a full 700 employees.

Not to mention the Guanghui Mobile headquarters, as well as the spun-off sub-brand, Pioneer.

This also made this annual meeting exceptionally lively.

Lu Li even generously shelled out 10 million for the year-end lucky draw program.

Honestly, 10 million was just a small matter for so many employees.

But it still allowed these employees to feel the difference between this company and other enterprises.

Especially with the industrial Robots [Wall-E] being launched in the company one after another.

Many repetitive tasks were now assisted by industrial Robots.

If an employee wanted to take a break, an industrial Robot could even cover for them.

And Lu Li also rejected the overtime culture.

Since he himself was so comfortable, he naturally wanted to make his employees more comfortable as well.

This practice made the employees discuss it excitedly for a long time.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Lu Li and Su Qingxue got off the plane and then sat in the low-key black Cayenne that had arrived here in advance.

They drove towards the village roads around Qingyang County, Jiangbei Province.

Looking at the familiar streets around him, a momentary flash of memory made Lu Li feel a bit dazed. Although he had only transmigrated here three years ago, he had the memories of this village in his mind.

There was no luxury of the Hongshi Villa District here; instead, it was filled with the atmosphere of daily life.

Every household had various red stickers pasted on their windows.

There were also children he didn't recognize playing on the fitness equipment in the village.

But the memories in Lu Li's body could feel that he had spent many New Years here when he was a child.

The car slowly stopped in front of a brand-new three-story small Western-style building.

This was built with the money Lu Li had sent back to renovate it two years ago; it looked exceptionally imposing among the surrounding two-story brick buildings.

The iron gate was already wide open.

An elderly woman with gray hair was standing in the cold wind, standing on tiptoe and looking towards the intersection.

The moment she saw the license plate, her wrinkled face instantly smoothed out, like a blooming autumn chrysanthemum.

"They're here! They're here! Old man, hurry up and set off the firecrackers!"

The adoptive mother's voice was filled with unconcealable joy.

Lu Li pushed the door open and got out of the car. The cold wind hit his face, but it couldn't blow away the warmth in his heart.

"Mom, it's so cold outside, why are you standing in the wind?"

He stepped forward quickly.

However, his adoptive mother brushed him aside and went straight to grab Su Qingxue, who had just gotten out of the car. Her large, rough hands, worn from years of labor, tightly wrapped around Su Qingxue's fair and tender palms, her eyes filled with affection.

"Oh my, my good daughter, you've finally arrived. Why are your hands so cold? Hurry inside, the heating is already nice and warm!"

Su Qingxue was usually decisive and swift in the company, but at this moment, she was as obedient as a newlywed bride, letting the old woman pull her along, her face flushing red.

"Mom, I'm not cold, there was heating in the car."

She had rarely experienced this kind of unreserved affection from an elder in the wealthy Su family, which was full of profit exchanges.

At least her mother would never treat her like this.

Only her grandfather had loved her when she was young.

Lu Li stood to the side, carrying bags of all sizes, watching this scene, the corners of his mouth curling up wildly.

Well.

Having a daughter-in-law, the son is just a freebie that came with the phone bill.

Just as he was thinking this, a youthful and beautiful figure darted out from the house.

"Brother! Sister-in-law!"

Lu Yaoguang was wearing a snow-white down jacket, bouncing in front of Lu Li like a cheerful rabbit.

Lu Li smiled and opened his arms, preparing to welcome his sister's enthusiastic hug.

Who knew that Lu Yaoguang would make a nimble move, bypassing him directly, her head poking towards the car trunk, her big eyes shining with the light of a searchlight.

"Brother, where is my Doraemon? Where is my Blue Fatty?"

Lu Li maintained his open-armed posture, left in a mess in the cold wind.

"Lu Yaoguang, your brother, a living person, is standing right here, and I'm not as good as a pile of parts?"

Lu Yaoguang stuck out her tongue, righteous and confident: "Brother, I can see you anytime, but Doraemon is out of stock online! I've already bragged to my classmates. If there isn't one, where would I put the face of the president of the Guanghui fan club?"

"Didn't bring it."

Lu Li deliberately kept a straight face, "Guanghui's production capacity is insufficient, and your brother doesn't have special privileges."

"Ah?"

Lu Yaoguang's small face instantly collapsed, her mouth pouting enough to hang an oil bottle.

Her eyes rolled, and she immediately grabbed Su Qingxue's arm, activating her pouting mode: "Sister-in-law~ look at my brother! He's bullying me! You have to discipline him!"

Su Qingxue couldn't help but laugh, reaching out to tap Lu Li's forehead: "Alright, stop teasing her."

Lu Li chuckled and leaned into his sister's ear: "What's the rush? The big shipment is behind, brought by a truck, and there's even a surprise."

Just as they were talking, No. 18, who had been quietly following behind, walked up and standardly lifted two heavy suitcases from the trunk.

The adoptive mother was busy asking Su Qingxue about her well-being when she suddenly saw a blonde-haired, blue-eyed, hot-bodied foreign beauty lifting the suitcases, and was instantly stunned.

The old lady's eyes instantly became sharp.

She grabbed Lu Li and dragged him to the corner, lowering her voice, her tone as serious as if she were interrogating a spy.

"Xiao Li, answer me honestly!"

"Who is this foreign girl?"

Lu Li didn't know how to explain it for a moment, so he could only scratch his head and say: "Just treat her like a nanny, it's fine, she cooks very well!"

Hearing this, the adoptive mother pulled Lu Li aside, her eyes full of killing intent as she glared at him: "Xiao Li, tell me honestly, are you being two-timing?"

"Let me tell you, a girl as good as Su Qingxue is hard to come by again. You cannot do anything to let her down, otherwise, I'll have your father break your legs!"

Lu Li looked at his mother's appearance as if facing a great enemy and almost laughed out loud.

This was a huge misunderstanding.

He quickly waved his hands. "Mom, what are you thinking?"

Lu Li helplessly pointed at the expressionless No. 18, "That is... a Robot, just like that Doraemon."

Hearing his son explain it this way, the adoptive mother finally breathed a sigh of relief, and looking at him, she said: "Xiao Li, don't be too tired. Look at you, you've become so thin."

"No, Mom, I haven't been working overtime much."

Lu Li certainly wouldn't admit it. Was he the type to work hard overtime?

He had worked enough overtime in his previous life.

However, there is a kind of thinness where your mom thinks you're thin, and he also liked this feeling.

In his past life, he had dedicated his whole life to the cold laboratory, coming alone and leaving alone.

In this life, he wanted to cherish this hard-won warmth.
