Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 248 - 237: This Is a Tactic (Bonus for 400 Monthly Tickets)

"All you know is eating." Qian pushed Chen Zilong aside and said to Teng Shuixian, "Even though frozen and ripe have different tastes, they’re both the same pear. People are the same too. At different times, with different statuses, the way you express feelings will definitely be different."

Teng Shuixian was taken aback by Qian’s words, holding the blackened frozen pear, and turned to leave.

"See you tomorrow."

"Qian’er, didn’t you say she should stay overnight? How come you’re letting Shuixian leave in the dark? It’s not safe. Minglang, why don’t you drive her home?" Jia Xiufang said worriedly.

Yu Minglang didn’t answer directly but looked at Qian. Qian shook her head, so he said nothing.

"It’s alright, there’s someone picking her up at the gate."

Jia Xiufang was still uneasy, so she walked Shuixian to the gate, and sure enough, within two minutes, a Bentley drove up.

"Auntie, please go back. Thank you for your hospitality today. I’ll come over another day to thank you." Teng Shuixian opened the car door and sincerely said to Jia Xiufang.

Jia Xiufang saw Shuixian off and came back to ask Qian.

"Qian’er, Shuixian just left in a car with wings; is that okay?"

"It’s fine, that’s her family’s car." Yu Minglang had scared her bodyguard so much they didn’t dare to look from the roof and had to wait in the car.

"Nowadays, even people selling chive boxes own cars. How many chive boxes must they sell to afford that..." Jia Xiufang muttered to herself.

"A car with wings?" Yu Minglang used his eyes to ask Qian. Qian nodded, yes, it’s the brand you’re thinking of.

Yu Minglang raised an eyebrow. When did his Qian’er start mingling with the daughter of a tycoon?

"Mom, even people selling chive boxes get picked up by car. Can you get a driver’s license in the future and pick me up too?" Chen Zilong loved this material stuff.

"Get lost, if you achieve grades like your sister, I’d pick you up too; with your grades, even a bicycle is too good for you—Qian’er, how much does that car with wings cost?"

Qian blinked, "Not too much, just..."

"About 3 million, maybe?"

"Silly Mei, do you think a Bentley is a Mercedes? Import duty for engines over 3.0L is 80%. With taxes and fees, you need at least 5 million to buy a car with wings."

Qian slapped her forehead, "Right, I forgot about that."

Qian, a decade later, bought a Maserati GT for less than 3 million, but import tax was only 25% then.

She chatted casually with Yu Minglang, while Jia Xiufang and Chen Zilong were left dumbfounded.

"Did you say, that car with wings, how much did it cost?" Jia Xiufang thought she heard wrong.

"Oh my god, I just chatted with such a rich person, and I even explained frozen pears to them." Chen Zilong was also overwhelmed.

"It’s no big deal. Next time she comes over, just act normally, no need to be stiff."

How could they not be stiff, people with cars worth 5 million, even in Q City, there aren’t many cars like that.

"But, Qian’er, didn’t you say her family sells chive boxes?"

"Their chive box business didn’t do well, so they switched to oil drilling, found an oilfield, then got into mining coal, and then diversified into all sorts of things. So, Mom, do your best, and you too could become a lady boss one day."

"Stop teasing..." Jia Xiufang was still reeling from the shock of chatting with a tycoon’s daughter, no, the daughter of a mega tycoon!

"I’m not teasing. It’s a golden age now. If a failed chive box seller can become a tycoon, why can’t my mom, who runs a dry cleaner so well, start a business?"

"Sis, next time tell the mega-rich sister if I can experience what it’s like in her car, let me ride it once."

Jia Xiufang and Qian teamed up to hit him, one on the backside, one on the head, "Just look at your lack of ambition!"

"If you have the skills, earn one yourself. Riding someone else’s doesn’t count for anything."

Yu Minglang watched the three of them chatting with a smile, and when Chen Zilong got hit again, he spoke up once Qian finished.

"Dalong, I don’t have a 5 million car, but how about riding in my small car that costs a bit over ten thousand? I’m planning to take you and your sister to a movie tonight."

"I’m in, I’m in!" Chen Zilong quickly raised his hand.

Qian looked at Yu Minglang. This guy still hasn’t given up on the midnight show? And he wants to bring a third wheel along?

Yu Minglang winked at Qian, Qian’er, it’s called strategy!

As expected, bringing along a third wheel, Jia Xiufang agreed without hesitation.

"Then you go along, don’t hassle your sister and Lang. Don’t mess around, and be good, got it?"

"Don’t worry, Auntie, with me along, Qian and Dalong will be just fine."

After a bit of a late-night snack, Yu Minglang took Qian and Chen Zilong out, and as soon as they left the village, Yu seriously said to Chen Zilong.

"Dalong, do you like hot springs?"

Qian turned her head, weren’t we going to the movies? Why did it switch to hot springs?

"I love them!" Though Chen Zilong had only seen them on TV and never experienced it, things he’s never tried are always so high-class.

"I’ll take you to a fun place, where you can soak in hot springs and watch movies in private rooms. I and your sister like horror movies, which aren’t suitable for your young impressionable mind, so you can soak in the hot springs outside. If you’re hungry, there’s a barbecue buffet, free of charge, and a pool hall..."

"Awesome! Lang, you’re so cool, I love it—" Chen Zilong clammed up under his sister’s intense gaze.

"Chen Zilong, are you here to exploit me like a rich playboy?" Qian knew Yu Minglang didn’t earn much. What he described was definitely a hot spring club that only caters to the wealthy.

"No worries, my elder brother gifted the vouchers, it’s free. He has stacks in his office because people keep giving them to him, and he doesn’t use them, so we can help reduce the stockpile." Yu Minglang winked at Qian.

Chen Zilong cheered, "Lang, you’re too kind-hearted, no wonder you didn’t let me eat tonight, you’re making space for me."

Qian was angry at his incompetence, her spoiled young brother was like a naive deer, easily lured by Minglang’s bait.

Yu Minglang wasn’t inviting Chen Zilong to enjoy the hot springs; he was figuring a way to get Chen out of the picture, to be alone with her in a dark little room!

What good could come from a man and a woman in a little dark room?

And Yu Minglang, this thick-skinned rascal, purposely brought along the young naive one to put Jia Xiufang at ease, and had already thought of ways to send the third wheel away!

Her bumbling brother’s intelligence wasn’t up to par. Minglang could sell her out, and Chen would still cheer for him.

Once they arrived, Yu threw Chen Zilong into the hot spring area, instructed the attendant to keep an eye on him and not let him wander, then smiled kindly at Qian.

"Qian’er, may I have the honor of inviting you to a movie?"

"I’ll stay for the hot springs." Qian had no intention of going into a little dark room with him, especially not a two-person one!

Yu Minglang grinned, "Do you think I’m the type to push my girlfriend into water on a first date just to see her in a swimsuit?"
