After the three of them finished chatting, they happily ate some snacks.
Tao Junlan and Qian Siyu then accompanied Su Xiaoxiao back home.
Su Xiaoxiao had originally thought they were treating her like a fragile porcelain doll, but on the way back, they ran into people from the old Jiang family.
The Jiang family members had planned to stop Su Xiaoxiao and say something, but Tao Junlan and Qian Siyu wasted no time discussing it and immediately drove them away.
When they got home, Su Xiaoxiao told Aunt Guo about the incident.
Aunt Guo, both angry and grateful, pulled them in and insisted they stay for dinner.
Jiang Yexun didn't return in time for dinner, so Su Xiaoxiao continued working on the machine tool designs she hadn't finished earlier.
She stayed up until past ten, and only when exhaustion took over did she finally fall into a deep sleep.
