Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 225: Xiaoqiang Protects the Beauty (2,000 Monthly Votes Bonus)

Yu Mingli seemed to be here to offer benefits, but Qian knew what this meant. If she dared to agree, it would mean she was making a statement to the Yu Family. Accepting their benefits would mean she could never leave Yu Minglang, so Qian wasn’t in a hurry to take a stand.

Yu Mingli saw Qian’s stance, squinting slightly, realizing this girl was indeed something. A big pie was placed right in front of her, yet she wasn’t tempted.

If it were someone like Wang Xiaohong, they would have jumped at it right away, but Mr. Yu wouldn’t let Wang Xiaohong’s family benefit a single penny. This was out of respect for Qian, but Qian obviously didn’t want to accept the favor.

"Big brother, my Qian doesn’t like to deal with these things. Don’t overload her. She’s going to be a doctor in the future. Don’t always bother her with business matters," Yu Minglang suddenly spoke up, seemingly in a joking manner but with underlying meaning.

Mr. Yu smiled on the surface, but inwardly sighed. This silly brother, giving someone his whole heart? He’s going to great lengths to tie the knot for Laomao, but with one sentence, Laomao rebuffed him. This is too protective.

Qian didn’t expect Yu Minglang to do this. She thought he might pressure her, after all, he’s always eager to turn his probationary boyfriend status into a permanent one.

"You’re overthinking it. Your precious Qian won’t be overworked. She’s more capable than you think, right, Qian?"

"Enough!" Yu Minglang slammed the table, standing up with wide eyes, scaring Jia Xiufang and Chen Zilong.

Yu Minglang slammed the table, and his big brother’s face immediately turned unpleasant. Qian didn’t have time to pull Yu Minglang back.

"Yu Mingli, are you drunk, coming here talking nonsense? My Qian’er is still a student. Why are you talking business with her now? Are you very busy? If you’re busy, get out quickly. Don’t bother us!"

That’s a real brother. If anyone else dared to act like this with Yu Mingli, they wouldn’t know how they died.

Yu Mingli was exasperated.

He was wholeheartedly trying to help his brother, but ended up being the bad guy. This brat Laomao, his girlfriend is the treasure, and his real brother, trying to help him, becomes the villain.

Jia Xiufang and Chen Zilong couldn’t understand the situation, only that the Yu brothers suddenly fell out. But what was the cause?

Jia Xiufang couldn’t read between the lines, but Qian understood.

What Yu Minglang did this time truly surprised Qian.

Yu Minglang is a highly possessive man. He constantly tries new ways to make his presence felt in her life, yearning to become official with her right away.

Now his big brother was clearly trying to pressure her, yet he resolutely stood in front of her, shouldering the pressure.

He wants Qian by his side more than anyone, but he doesn’t want to use this binding method. This side of Yu Minglang is enough to warm Qian’s heart.

"Yu Minglang, do you remember your surname?" Mr. Yu spoke with a slightly gloomy tone, his mouth still smiling, but it was a cold smile.

This demeanor could intimidate many. Everyone knows Mr. Yu is not to be trifled with. When he smiles like this, usually, the adversary is in trouble.

This time, his opponent was the notorious little tyrant of the Yu Family, Yu Minglang, who felt a bit intimidated by his big brother. Although he often smiles, everyone knows it’s no laughing matter. But this was for his girlfriend’s interests, so Yu Minglang stood his ground, like a real man, shielding Qian.

"I know my surname, but Yu Mingli, you’re getting carried away."

No one can force his Qian’er to do something she doesn’t like, not even his big brother.

Yu Mingli was so angry he felt his blood pressure rising. This little brat Laomao, to dare challenge his own big brother for a woman!

"Big brother, Minglang has had a bit too much to drink. Don’t mind him," Qian stood up, pushing Yu Minglang down, while Yu Mingli glanced at the juice cup in front of Yu Minglang, chuckling, could drinking juice get you drunk?

"The matter big brother mentioned, let’s discuss it later. Big brother, whenever you have time, I’ll talk to you alone."

"What do you need to talk to him about! I have to return to work tomorrow, I can’t accompany you!" Yu Minglang feared his gentle-appearing but cunning big brother might trick Qian.

"What are you worried about? That’s your real brother, he’s also my brother. Why would I be afraid to visit him? How could he let outsiders bully me? Any bullying would be us as a family facing outsiders, right, big brother?"

Yu Mingli glanced at Qian, nodded, then scanned Yu Minglang, saying disdainfully, "Yu Laomao, Qian is more sensible than you are, you’ve lived all these years in vain."

After saying this, he returned to a smiling demeanor, as if he hadn’t been domineering a moment ago, and exchanged a few more polite words with Jia Xiufang before turning to leave.

"Qian’er... is everything okay?" Jia Xiufang, although not fully understanding what just happened, felt there might be more to the situation.

"What could be wrong, eat up. Come on, Xiaoqiang, this is your reward." Qian picked up a chicken leg, Yu Minglang held her hand, his eyes seeming to say a thousand words.

She stuffed the chicken leg into his mouth, "Act according to the circumstances. Once committed, there’s no turning back. Since I dared to board your ship, I know what to do. Don’t worry, I won’t lose out."

Yu Minglang ate without tasting the food.

The unexpected visit from his big brother had filled him with anxiety.

The time he had spent with Qian wasn’t even a week. Despite knowing her for so long, they hadn’t met many times. If she resented big brother’s actions, it would surely affect their relationship, and that was the last thing he wanted.

After a meal filled with heavy thoughts, Yu Minglang made an excuse about going to the bathroom and pulled Qian to a private corner.

"Mei, if you’re not happy about big brother’s matter, I’ll go talk to him. You don’t need to see him. It’s easy to talk between brothers. Don’t feel pressured."

"Yu Minglang, what’s your surname?"

"...Mei, have you been possessed by my big brother?"

Qian looked at him and shook her head, "Your surname is Yu. Even if you try hard to separate yourself from your family, you can’t deny you’re part of the Yu Family."

Yu Minglang was startled to hear her say this and quickly grabbed her hand.

"Mei... are you regretting being with me?"

Damn you, Yu Mingli, you big cunning businessman! Yu Minglang decided to tell his sister-in-law about his big brother’s recent meat-eating behind her back, if Mei used this incident as an excuse to break up, what would he do!

"Regret what? When I met you, your surname was already Yu. It’s not like I’ve only just found out. Isn’t it pretentious to bring it up now?"

Qian usually spoke calmly, making it hard to discern her emotions. Yu Minglang couldn’t read her thoughts, only looking at her worriedly.

"Yu Xiaoqiang, are you worried I’ll suffer a loss?"
