Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!-Chapter 403: Arranging Her Separation from Mr. Nalan; Her Birth Mother’s Bizarre Call
Qin Xin hadn’t even agreed yet.
Nalan Ye Jue’s face turned dark first.
Is this really her biological mom? She’s actually pushing his woman away.
He said lightly, "I’ll send a few capable assistants to help her company, so she won’t be overwhelmed. As for designing and studying, for a genius, it’s just a leisure activity. If you don’t understand as a bad student, don’t make random comments."
Mrs. Nalan was choked and rolled her eyes.
The brat really called his mom a bad student.
Hmph, though it’s true.
"Can a bad student not express opinions? Didn’t you just say you’d be more restrained in the future? Now you’re exhausting the pond for fish, this will tire out our Xinxin. Anyway, I won’t allow you to bully her. It’s decided, Xinxin will spend three days a week at school, and three days returning to Xinghe Bay," Mrs. Nalan announced with full momentum.
Nalan Ye Jue: "..."
It seems the biological mom really cares for his little wife, using the high-level idiom "exhaust the pond for fish" in a hurry.
He said lightly, "What about the other day?"
"Oops, you figured that out so quickly," Mrs. Nalan grumbled, "The other day, of course, is for Xinxin to return to the old house. I’ll make some delicious stew to nourish her!"
Nalan Ye Jue: "..."
Qin Xin: "..."
What kind of fortune did she accumulate over the years to meet such a lovable and funny mother-in-law?
The funny mother-in-law was still bustling around: "Oh dear, don’t let the food get cold, let’s stop talking and eat quickly. Son, don’t mind me, hurry and serve your wife, be diligent..."
Nalan Ye Jue placed a piece of sea cucumber in Qin Xin’s bowl.
He glanced at his drama queen mom: "I was going to give it to her anyway."
Qin Xin held back a laugh, finding it a bit hard to suppress.

The next morning, the news of Shen Bixue going to Antarctica to film naturally hit the top of the trending searches.
At the same time, a piece of news about the Qin Family’s poor management, selling a small printing factory to make ends meet, appeared in the corner of newspapers and websites.
It was too inconspicuous, not causing any ripples at all.
No one cared about the declining Qin Family with no adult male heirs.
Qin Xin got up early to head to school for an exam.
On the way, she received a call from Mrs. Qin.
"Xin’er, did you mention your sister’s issue to Mr. Nalan? I see there’s no buzz online lately, did it get suppressed?"
Mrs. Qin spoke cautiously, even with a hint of flattery.
Qin Xin said coldly, "No, we don’t have time to pay attention to her."
Mrs. Qin’s tone shifted to slight anger: "What are you doing every day? Not concerned about the family, nor your sister? Do you know our household expenses this month are barely covered, we had to sell a shop to fill in the gap? Relatives are secretly laughing at us!"
Qin Xin was silent.
Not enough for living expenses?
Last time, Mrs. Qin took Qin Wenrou to the most upscale club restaurant, and failing to eat, went on a shopping spree at the mall below for jewelry. This doesn’t look like they’re out of money.
On the other hand, Qin Xiaoshuang was in old clothes and shoes, even lacking money for medicine—this was more indicative of the Qin Family’s dire situation.
She said coldly, "There’s still a shop to sell, it’s not exactly a financial stretch. Truly poor people, when out of money, have to do manual labor on the streets, eating and sleeping rough."
Mrs. Qin was choked.
Never expected Qin Xin to say that.
Shouldn’t she directly offer a check to the elder?
She was even more angered: "Xin’er, now that you’re back, are you going to watch the Qin Family collapse and all the shops being sold?"
"The Qin Family’s company has been incompetent, that’s clear. Just look at the business you’ve run all these years, it’s gone up in smoke overnight, collapsed like a house of cards, company shut down just like that..."
