Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 189: Timely Help in the Snow (Unlocked at 1,600 Monthly Votes)

Qian’s face turned red, but thankfully it was dark and couldn’t be seen.

Yu Minglang, this shameless guy, wouldn’t get up after leaning on someone’s key spots. Yu Mingyi reached out, once again demonstrating his incredible arm strength, and lifted the shameless Yu Laomao by his bulletproof vest.

"Second brother, you should’ve come a few minutes later."

"Stopping you from going further down the wrong path."

"How is this a mistake? I’m just completing the task you gave me!" Xiaoqiang brazenly replied, pulling Qian up and helping her straighten her clothes.

"What task did I give you?" Even Mr. Yu, an iceberg, was stunned by his shameless younger brother.

"Yeah, the task you gave me, isn’t it to escort safely until the people are satisfied?"

Getting a bit intimate with his girlfriend also counts as making her "satisfied," right?

Yu Minglang not only received a despising look from Yu Mingyi but also got a kick from Qian in the same spot Mr. Yu had just kicked.

Thick skin is bound to cause public outrage.

Qian pretended nothing had happened and asked Yu Mingyi.

"Second brother, how is Dong Yi now?"

"Asleep, in the car, and her reactions are basically exactly as you said. I’ll have someone take you out, and I’ll leave Dong Yi’s subsequent treatment to you. If you need my help, just contact me."

"Okay." Qian reached out her hand for a formal handshake with her second brother.

"Thank you all for supporting my treatment this time, and also thank you, second brother, for your cooperation."

The second brother returned the handshake, "It’s what we should do. Many colleagues who participated in the rescue back then are very concerned about Dong Yi’s situation. This is a donation we’ve gathered, hoping she can recover her health soon."

The second brother handed over an envelope filled with thick wads of cash.

Qian hesitated on whether to accept it for Dong Yi when the second brother shoved the envelope into her hand.

"Take it, it’s not just from me; all the old colleagues who participated in the rescue donated. Everyone is very concerned about her. We will support her until she completes her university education."

"Okay, I’ll accept it on behalf of Dong Yi, thank you all."

Yu Minglang got goosebumps watching them speak so formally.

"Can you two not be so formal? We’re all family, why say so many polite words."

Qian turned around and began some earnest advice.

"Be careful when you’re outside, bring more of Auntie’s special ointment for arthritis. If you don’t pay attention while young, your muscles and bones will hurt when you’re old. You don’t have to worry about me here; when you come back, you can find me by calling my home number."

"Got it."

"Also, if you get frostbite, remember to soak it in hot saltwater continuously. Don’t ignore it, and bring some Yunnan Baiyao with you."

Qian remembered that in a past life, Yu Minglang’s hands always had chilblains in the winter; that was left behind by his old job.

"Got it, and take care of yourself too. I might not be able to personally pick you up when you go home for winter break. I’ll have Hai Zhao contact you when the time comes, decide on a schedule, and don’t book train tickets. It’s crowded and unsafe in the winter."

The two of them went on back and forth endlessly, leaving Yu Mingyi baffled, wondering how such trivial things warranted so much discussion.

And how could they talk without ending?

Having said almost everything to Qian, Yu Minglang turned and saw his second brother staring blankly, so he patted his shoulder and said.

"Second brother, actually most couples or spouses have pretty healthy ways of interacting, not many women are like those certain people, don’t let one bite stop you from eating because of fear."

"You talk too much nonsense." Mr. Yu was still troubled by how his brother became a nagging mother after getting into a relationship. Laomao wasn’t like this at home!

"When second brother finds a girlfriend, he might talk more than Minglang."

Yu Minglang laughed, hugged Qian, and gave her a kiss, "See, I’ve got someone to protect me, my Qianbao can’t stand you talking about me, second brother, you can’t understand the happiness of having a family like us."

Yu Mingyi silently watched their interaction, thinking to himself that if having a family meant being this silly, he wouldn’t want such happiness.

On the way back, Dong Yi slept. Qian thought about their brief reunion, with unshed reluctance flooding her heart, unable to tell whether it leaned more sour or sweet.

Seeing his busyness firsthand, with work filling all his time, if she could’ve been as understanding in the past life, had more empathy for his struggles, maybe the result would’ve been different.

She used to hate Yu Minglang saying he was busy, because if he was busy she’d have to do this or that.

But thinking about it now, when she used Wang Xiaohong’s situation to remind Yu Minglang that caring for someone with mental illness requires a lot of patience, it’s the same concept, isn’t it?

Suddenly she felt she had been unfair to him, with unreasonable irritation in her heart, and she even began to recall if she acted poorly when she met him just now, considering it must not have been easy for him to come see her.

In the future, she ought to treat him better...

After Dong Yi woke up, Qian gave her another thorough treatment, and it seemed to have worked much better this time.

"Freshman, here you go." Qian handed Dong Yi the envelope Yu Mingyi had left.

"What is this...?"

"It’s money left to you by your little uncle and the uncles who participated in the rescue back then."

The thick wad, even if not over ten thousand, was definitely several thousand at least.

"I can’t take their money." Although Dong Yi couldn’t clearly recall everything that happened after Qian completely hypnotized her, she remembered the warmth of being held by her little uncle.

Receiving favors already beyond repayment, how could she take their money?

"Take it, they’re hoping you live well, you’re still a student and have no financial capability, which means you need to live well and study hard."

"But—" Holding the envelope tightly, Dong Yi indeed needed money badly, desiring freedom, wanting to rid herself of the marriage arranged by relatives, but accepting this money from benefactors filled her with guilt.

"No buts, take it. After you graduate, you can use your expertise to help many children with experiences like yours, spreading this kindness, and that’s what your uncles want to see too."

"Then please ask little uncle to write down a list of how much is owed to everyone, I’ll definitely pay it back once I start earning." Dong Yi was moved to tears, these good people, just like her little uncle, always helped when she needed it most.

"Alright, I’ll ask Yu Mingyi to write it later, focus on your studies and don’t pressure yourself too much. Remember, once you become a psychologist, you’ll be able to save many lives. You have so many uncles who care about you, really care about you, so carry their concern forward, live well. If you want to repay it—"
