Earlier, when Lin Aiyin was speaking, some people searched for information about Celestial Fortune on their phones, so they immediately recognized Qin Yun.

They couldn’t help but sigh in their hearts. They had a bit of understanding about Li Fang’s family, but their deeper impression was of Lin Aiyin’s bullied daughter-in-law. Lin Aiyin was quite famous in the neighborhood for being argumentative—her voice could travel through the entire complex.

Moreover, they also heard from Lin Aiyin that Li Fang had a daughter with mental issues. In her heart, she never truly accepted her as her daughter-in-law.

Unexpectedly, Li Fang, who wasn’t favored by her own family, suddenly had powerful relatives.

"Li Fang’s family is going to be prosperous."

"Yes, I heard Qin Yun’s net worth is nearly a billion. How much money is that?"

"Look at Lin Aiyin smiling and bragging."

"What’s the use of bragging? She’s never been satisfied with Li Fang as her daughter-in-law. Maybe Li Fang is upset with her too."

Everyone was discussing it.

At this moment, Lin Aiyin was indeed worried that Li Fang might give her attitude. Her face was full of smiles, but her heart was anxious.

Qin Yun was undoubtedly the focus of everyone’s attention, yet he stood in the second row at the front. Leading the group was Xu Mingzhi, Li Fang, Old Mr. Qin, and others.

Looking at Qin Yun, remembering the harsh words she had said in that room earlier, Lin Aiyin became even more flustered.

If she had known Qin Yun’s identity earlier, there was no way she would have dared to say those things.

Finally, the group walked over.

"Dad, Mom," Xu Mingzhi and Li Fang called out as they approached.

Hearing their words, Xu Jiafu nodded with a smile and said, "It’s good you’re back."

As for the elderly woman, Lin Aiyin, her eyes lit up as Li Fang acted no differently than she had on previous returns, showing no changes.

"Fang, come in quickly. Your back isn’t good, you shouldn’t stand for too long," she said with a full smile, seemingly very caring.

Li Fang was still the same Li Fang, the nonchalant daughter-in-law who she scolded whenever she liked.

But now, in her eyes, Li Fang seemed to exude a hint of nobility, and under that noble aura, she subconsciously lowered her own demeanor.

"Grandma." Next to Li Fang, Xu Xiaoqian called out.

"Xiaoqian, you’re getting more and more beautiful."

Looking at Xu Xiaoqian, Lin Aiyin praised.

As for Xu Xiaoyou, she was the same as before, not calling her, but Lin Aiyin didn’t mind one bit and said, "Xiaoyou has a gentle personality. Who knows how many suitors she’ll attract when she grows up."

She was lavish in her compliments.

Qin Yun stood quietly, his face expressionless.

He was very averse to Lin Aiyin, but on the surface, he still had to call her ’mom’ because of his second aunt.

Since his second aunt wasn’t holding any grudges, it wasn’t his place to do anything.

Of course, asking him to help Lin Aiyin with anything was absolutely out of the question.

"You must be Mingzhi’s parents? I’m Fang’s dad..." Old Mr. Qin stepped forward and said.

And so, the family kept talking, first visiting the home of Xu Jiafu and Lin Aiyin, and later going to a hotel for a meal.

Throughout the entire process, Lin Aiyin no longer had her previous arrogant demeanor. She was extremely cordial to Li Fang, Qin Yun’s second aunt, and the Xu sisters Xiaoqian and Xiaoyou, always speaking in a flattering tone.

Xu Xiaoqian stayed in the house, facing her grandmother with no hint of her usual fear.

Before, every time she saw Lin Aiyin, she would feel scared, because in her memory, Lin Aiyin scolded her and her mother all the time from her childhood.

But with Qin Yun’s arrival today, it gave them great confidence.

She felt that Lin Aiyin couldn’t possibly scold them anymore.

Indeed, Lin Aiyin behaved differently from before, speaking to them with flattery and ingratiation.

Even Xu Xiaoyou felt the same, chattering beside Qin Yun, no longer the silent and reserved girl she used to be.

Soon, the gathering concluded, and the two families parted ways again.

...

"Fang, you really need to take care of your back. You’re still young now, but if you go on like this, you might end up in a wheelchair in a few years," Old Mr. Qin said worriedly.

Upon hearing this, Li Fang smiled and said, "Dad, it’s okay. The doctor said as long as I don’t do heavy labor, it won’t have much impact."

Heavy labor puts stress on the back, and many cases of lumbar strain come from doing too much heavy work beyond one’s physical capacity when young, injuring the back.

Back then, it seemed fine, but it flares up as one gets older.

"Second Aunt, you really shouldn’t delay on this."

Beside her, Qin Yun smiled and said, "I’ve already contacted a doctor who specializes in treating lumbar strain. I’ll arrange for you to see him this afternoon and try a course of treatment to see how it goes?"

"Yes, Fang, Yun is right. It’s best to treat it early," Old Mr. Qin added.

Seeing them say this, Li Fang nodded and smiled, "Then I’ll trouble Yun."

"No trouble at all."

Qin Yun chuckled. He looked toward Xu Mingzhi next to Li Fang and said, "By the way, Second Uncle, you used to work at the Tianyang Battery Research Institute in Jinling, right?"

The Tianyang Battery Research Institute in Jinling is a major institution where everyone inside is a talent!

The battery industry is closely linked with societal development.

Yu Leyao’s father is also in the battery industry, and his company went public, reaching a market value of over fifty billion!

And CATL, with developments in the electric vehicle battery industry, has even achieved trillion-scale market value! It’s evident how promising its future is.

"Yes, I used to, but the company underwent some changes and reduced some staff," Xu Mingzhi said, somewhat embarrassed.

He was among those laid off.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Yun asked, "Second Uncle, where are you working now?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

He added, "You know I’ve opened two research institutes? One is a medical research institute; the Celestial Fortune Shampoo was developed there."

"I’ve also opened a technology research institute. If you are willing, you can join my institute, and I’ll provide whatever is needed directly."

His second uncle was a top talent in battery research, and now that he had the chance, he wanted to bring him into the research institute immediately.

Of course, he wasn’t expecting any immediate breakthroughs in battery technology; these things could be researched slowly.

Hearing Qin Yun’s words, Xu Mingzhi hesitated slightly.

"Second Uncle, you don’t need to worry. It’s not like I’m doing you a favor; just take a look at our Celestial Fortune Research Institute’s job postings. With your capabilities, you’re definitely qualified to join," Qin Yun said with a smile.
