Jiu Shiyi didn't ask the cat where it got the laser sword. He quickly replied, "Sure, for me, the most difficult thing about laser weapons is the materials, not the principles and manufacturing technology."
When I made that small laser gun, I already used my privileges. If I were to make a lightsaber, I would need a lot more materials, and the company would investigate me… But don't worry, I'm not saying this to refuse you, but just to let you know that this time it won't be finished in a week; it might take even longer.”
"That's alright." Cat didn't mind at all; she wasn't in a hurry to do anything with the lightsaber. She just asked again, "Then what do you need?"
Jiu Shiyi said, "If you have a lightsaber, sister, just show it to me. If you have one ready-made, I won't waste materials experimenting."
The cat asked, "How long will it take you?"
Jiu Shiyi said, "At most... a few hours."
The cat nodded; there really weren't many!
“Oh, you can go back now. I’ll bring you the lightsaber when I have time,” the cat said.
This means we've set a time for our next meeting!
Jiu Shiyi was very satisfied; he had gained a lot today! The gloom from being mercilessly rebuked by Jiu Zhongsheng earlier suddenly dissipated. "Then I'm leaving, sister."
The cat stopped him and took out her phone. "Let me add you on WeChat."
Actually, Jiu Shiyi had called Maomao before, but Maomao didn't save the call.
"Sister, do you think I'm pretty useful?" Jiu Shiyi asked with a hint of pride.
Cat glanced at him, scanned the QR code with her phone, and added him on WeChat. She readily admitted, "Yes!"
No way! I'm totally hooked on this cat! This cheap little brother is so useful.
Jiu Shiyi was quite pleased that he had attracted the cat's attention in this way; at least he had achieved his goal.
As the two were saying goodbye, a black, ghost-like car sped up quickly, but it braked just as fast, stopping without even swaying.
Jiu Shiyi reflexively observed the car and then said, "It's really a good car. The braking is so fast, and the body is fully sealed. It's like an armored vehicle. It's rare to see a sports car modified like this."
This car is so cool and visually stunning that most people wouldn't realize how hardcore it is beneath its beautiful exterior, but Jiu Shiyi is no ordinary person.
The car door opened, and the person who appeared, accompanied by those long legs, was none other than Mu Jin.
The cat immediately waved to Mu Jin, "Ah Jin!"
Mu Jin looked over and walked over.
When Jiu Shiyi saw that it was Mu Jin, he suddenly remembered that when he entered the Jiu family, the person who was smiling and ready to greet him was probably him.
Mu Jin stopped next to the cat and, seeing that she was only wearing a sweater, asked, "What are you doing standing here? Getting cold?"
The cat pointed at Jiu Shiyi: "I'm giving this little brother a gift."
Jiu Shiyi also realized that it was too cold to stand outside all this time, so he nodded to Mu Jin and then said to Maomao, "Sister, you are welcome to come and see me anytime. I'm leaving now. You should go back now, it's cold outside."
The cat waved at him.
Jiu Shiyi left by car. It will probably only take him ten minutes to get home from here.
Mu Jin pulled Maomao's hand back, casually opened her trench coat, and wrapped Maomao inside. "Why are you suddenly so enthusiastic towards your brother?"
Cat hugged Mu Jin's waist and said, "Hehe, he bribed me with something, so I was won over."
Mu Jin glanced at the cat. "That easy?"
Cat said, "It's not easy! Cat isn't so easily bribed. This little brother is truly a treasure."
Mu Jin remained silent.
The tense atmosphere from before hadn't dissipated when the two entered the room, and Mu Jin raised an eyebrow slightly.
This situation could easily be misunderstood; the atmosphere seemed to be directed at Mu Jin, who had just arrived.
"Oh dear, Daddy doesn't like Jiu Shiyi," Maomao whispered. She was explaining to Mu Jin, but her voice wasn't private at all in the quiet living room; they all heard it.
Jiu Nanxun looked at the two of them, her eyes darting around happily, because Mu Jin and Maomao were currently in a very intimate pose, with Maomao completely nestled in Mu Jin's arms.
Meeting the parents in this way... It seemed that Hisaichi's already bad mood was made even worse.
Mu Jin released the cat, casually straightened her clothes, and showed no sign of guilt.
"Come here, A-Jin." Cat pulled Mu Jin's sleeve and walked in.
"Brother-in-law, you're here so early." Jiu Nanxun broke the silence first, trying to liven up the atmosphere a bit.
However, her words seemed to have the opposite effect. Her father glared at her with a fierce look, and even her older brother gave her a warning look.
What happened to her? Can't I call her brother-in-law?
The cat didn't think there was anything wrong with it; she gave Kunan Kaoru an encouraging look.
Jiu Nanxun immediately perked up. "Brother-in-law, please sit down. Have some fruit. What would you like to drink? Tea or juice?"
As she spoke, she moved the model from the table to the cabinet next to it, making room for it.
Mu Jin said, "No need, I'll be leaving soon."
Jiu Zhongsheng looked at Mu Jin, "So anxious? You came to my house to take my daughter away?"
If you take that literally, then it's true that Mu Jin came to pick up Maomao. However, in this atmosphere and context... that's a very sharp remark. The implication is that it's like directly questioning whether Mu Jin came to steal his daughter.
Kunan Kaoru swallowed hard. She didn't dare to rush forward this time. She leaned back on the sofa, trying to stay away from the somewhat imposing aura in front of her.
She thought to herself, "My brother-in-law really came at the worst possible time..."
The cat peeled an orange, glanced at its father upon hearing this, and then calmly ate a segment of the orange.
Mu Jin chuckled softly, "No, it's not that. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the elders of the Eight Gates all meet up. I'm here to pick up Maomao, and Jiu Yunchi as well. Of course, if Mr. Jiu and Miss Jiu Nanxun have nothing else to do, you're welcome to join us."
Hearing this, Jiu Nanxun silently gave Mu Jin a thumbs up in her heart. As expected of her brother-in-law, his response was so powerful!
He's not here to take the cat away; he's also going to take Jiu Yunchi away, and our whole family!
The cat stuffed a segment of orange into Mu Jin's mouth. Before Mu Jin had a chance to refuse, the orange was already forcefully inside his mouth, and he had no choice but to eat it.
Jiu Zhongsheng raised an eyebrow slightly. He had to admit that Mu Jin was young, yet she remained calm and composed, seemingly able to handle any situation with ease. This was truly rare.
