Watching from the side, Lin Mo wanted to laugh but did not dare, so he could only keep stuffing food into his mouth until his cheeks bulged.
Their status aside, they were just an ordinary couple who bickered and worried about their child, so real, so full of life.
For all her complaints, the lady's voice still carried unmistakable pride when she spoke of her daughter.
"That girl of ours is just too wild."
"She picked an obscure field of study and spends all day in the lab. She's even busier than we are."
"A while ago, I heard her team had solved the problem of mass-producing Zheng Gold. Only then did things quiet down for a couple of days."
Lin Mo abruptly stopped bringing food to his mouth.
He slowly turned to look at Elder Zhao.
"Mass-producing Zheng Gold?"
Elder Zhao was smiling appeasingly at his wife. At that, he nodded.
"Yes, they made a breakthrough in the core technology. That's what allowed the Super Mecha project to be officially launched!"
"That girl is now one of the project's chief engineers."
Lin Mo: "???"
One of the chief engineers?
The names of national treasures like Academician Qian Zhenhua and Liu Chengen instantly flashed through his mind.
Elder Zhao's daughter was on the same level as those heavyweights?
While they were having tea after the meal, Lin Mo happened to notice the white hair at Elder Zhao's temples and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, which seemed deeper than at their last meeting.
Something stirred in him.
"You haven't used the Life Spring Water?"
At that, Elder Zhao's wife paused what she was doing and glanced at her husband without speaking.
Elder Zhao waved a hand dismissively.
"I'm still in good shape. I eat well and sleep well.
