It was past 11 p.m. when Elder Jun and the others left the study and departed from the Lu family home.

Feng Zhiyi and Lu Lingxiao watched the elders leave, and only after the car drove away did they turn around and return to the living room.

At this moment, Lu's mother had already put the children to bed.

Meanwhile, Grandma Feng was resting in a guest room on the first floor.

After the two entered the living room, Old Master Huo said to them, "I'm going to sleep now. It's very late, you should go back to your rooms and rest too."

"I'm going back inside too!"

Mr. Lu mumbled something in a daze and headed towards the second floor. His mind was a mess. If he hadn't been holding onto the handrail, he probably would have tumbled down the stairs and fallen flat on his face!

When Grandpa Huo returned to his bedroom, he was still feeling dizzy and hadn't fully recovered.

Watching Grandpa and Dad float back to their room as if they were walking on clouds, Feng Zhiyi and Lu Lingxiao exchanged a glance and smiled.

Then he went upstairs to rest.

In fact, Feng Zhiyi could completely understand the elders' feelings. Anyone would be surprised and shocked to suddenly hear that their daughter-in-law/granddaughter-in-law was a scientific genius.

It was already quite good that Mr. Lu and the other old men didn't lose their composure on the spot.

"Why did you stay out so late?"

Shen Yaqin was in a light sleep. When she heard the doorknob turning, she quickly got up and turned on the light. Looking at Lu Yunhai who entered the room, she asked him a question.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunhai subconsciously looked up at her and murmured, "There were a lot of things to do, so we talked for a while."

Seeing that the other person was swaying and about to fall, with his legs seemingly weak and powerless, Shen Yaqin couldn't help but ask again in confusion.

"What's wrong with you? You seem so weak and listless. Did you get scolded?"

"No, I was just shocked."

Lu Yunhai shook his head, sat down on the bed, took a deep breath, and then continued, "Not only me, but also Dad and several old leaders were quite shocked tonight."

Shen Yaqin was even more confused.

What kind of big event could have shocked the old leader who had killed Japanese soldiers on the battlefield so much?

The next second—

Then Lu Yunhai leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words.

"......"

Shen Yaqin was stunned into silence!

His expression was even more exaggerated than when Lu Yunhai heard the news.

For a long while——

She grabbed Lu Yunhai's arm in shock, "Old Lu, you mean... Zhiyi is amazing, even more amazing than our son?"

Lu Yunhai nodded slightly. "I heard it from Ling Xiao myself, so it can't be false. Besides, didn't the old leader call Zhiyi to his study later? Zhiyi has already confirmed it."

"However, you should keep these things to yourself and never show them off to anyone else, because they concern Zhiyi's safety, understand?"

Upon hearing his words, Shen Yaqin immediately concealed the surprise in her eyes.

He hurriedly replied, "Don't worry, I promise I won't tell anyone!"

"Alright, don't think about anything, lie down and rest, it's very late."

After Lu Yunhai finished speaking, he took off his clothes and shoes and lay down, but his head was still buzzing and a mess.

Shen Yaqin glanced at him, then lay down on the inside as well.

But how can she fall asleep now?

At this moment, her mind was filled with thoughts of her wonderful wife being a genius and incredibly awesome. These few words kept repeating in her head like a broken record.

Compared to the turmoil in the hearts of Lu's parents and Grandpa Huo, Feng Zhiyi and Lu Lingxiao were remarkably calm. After returning to their bedroom, they didn't even bother to unpack their luggage before going back to their space to rest.

——

The next morning.

When Shen Yaqin returned from grocery shopping, she was stopped by someone as soon as she entered the courtyard.

"Hey, Yaqin, you bought groceries so early? Um, didn't your daughter-in-law come back? Why didn't you let her go out to buy them?"

The person who called out to Shen Yaqin was Li Jinhua from the compound. Her husband also worked in a government agency and had hoped to be promoted to administrative level 10.

Who would have thought that Lu Yunhai, who had just returned from the countryside, would snatch it away?

When Li Jinhua heard what her husband said, her face turned green with anger. The duck that was about to be eaten had actually flown away again. How could she swallow this?

So ever since Shen Yaqin moved back to Compound No. 2, she has found Shen Yaqin disagreeable and always wants to make things difficult for her.

Sure enough, when she saw Shen Qinya carrying a vegetable basket into the courtyard, she couldn't help but start being sarcastic again.

“My Zhiyi’s hands are for important things. Small things like grocery shopping can be done by me, her mother. I can’t bear to tire out my good wife.”

Shen Yaqin walked slowly, seemingly casually moving a few steps closer to Li Jinhua. Then, she rolled up her sleeves, deliberately revealing the new watch and bracelet on her wrist.

When Li Jinhua saw the watch and jade bracelet on her wrist, her eyes instantly brightened compared to a 1,000-watt light bulb.

He immediately asked, "You got a new watch? By the way, when did you buy this bracelet? Did your daughter-in-law buy it for you?"

As soon as she asked the question, Li Jinhua regretted it.

But Shen Yaqin nodded with a big smile, and chuckled, "Hey, you really guessed right! These two things were indeed brought back from abroad by my Zhiyi!"
