Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 320 - 294: Confessing the Truth

"It’s not really a severe illness. Maybe something he encountered in his childhood affected his views on marriage and relationships, making him extremely perfectionistic in choosing a partner. Simply put, he subconsciously believes that 99% of women in the world aren’t good enough for him and aren’t worthy of his effort."

Qian’s analysis made Mrs. Yu’s eyes widen, "Yu Laomao, you’re such a jerk! No wonder as soon as Qian came back, you—"

Could it be that he’s trying to test if Qian is perfect, and if not, he’ll just kick her out?

Mrs. Yu suddenly wanted to hit him again, feeling that she hadn’t hit him hard enough before.

Yu Minglang felt incredibly wronged, "Mei, can you stop practicing medicine without a license? Are you trying to create a false injustice against me?!"

"But with such a character, if he finds someone he deems suitable, he would be very good to her. The key is whether he can find someone he thinks is worth the effort."

Qian thought of Yu Minglang in her previous life, a man who would rather be lonely for a lifetime than not find her, the one who broke her heart.

When she first returned, she was very afraid to interact with him.

Because she owed him too much, and debts that piled up couldn’t be repaid. But after going in such a big circle, she still couldn’t escape his onslaught, nor could she avoid her own longing for love deep inside.

With an open mind now, Qian just wants to root out the mastermind and give them a good beating. This anger has to be vented somehow.

"Even though this kid hasn’t actively been unfaithful outside, that doesn’t rule out other women liking him, secretly stirring things up. So, Laomao, when you get back, check if there are any sisters or relatives in your team. Filter them all out for me." Mrs. Yu cautiously said.

"Understood." Yu Minglang nodded.

Qian thought for a moment and added another sentence.

"Also, investigate if, in your past experiences, you’ve saved anyone who then felt immense gratitude and admiration towards you, treating you like a god."

"What?"

Yu Minglang didn’t understand Qian’s train of thought.

"Generally speaking, people in your kind of environment aren’t likely to destroy relationships for their own purposes. I trust your brainwashing education."

Yu Minglang and Yu Mingyi both widened their eyes, and Qian cleared her throat, realizing she had accidentally spoken too frankly.

"What I mean is, I believe in our strict family traditions, that we’d never betray friends for profit."

The same sentiment, expressed in a different way, truly went down smoother, and the two men from the Yu family felt appeased.

"What I’m saying is, there’s another possibility: someone idolizes you but feels my presence hinders your development; out of concern for your well-being, they made such a decision."

Qian analyzed the issue from a psychologist’s perspective.

Even Mrs. Yu hadn’t thought of this point and nodded approvingly.

"This narrows the scope: a woman or someone who idolizes you."

Yu Minglang rubbed his temples, "There are so many people at my workplace who idolize me to death."

This wasn’t bragging. Yu Minglang, not only at his workplace, even in his previous workplaces and schools, had always been top-notch, admired wherever he went.

Being excessively excellent is bound to attract everyone’s attention; this is entirely normal.

"I’ve given you all the leads. Go investigate for yourself," Mrs. Yu said to Yu Minglang.

Originally, Qian was supposed to go out with Yu Minglang, but after glancing at Mrs. Yu, she decided to stay behind.

"Auntie, I have something to say to you."

Yu Minglang was very curious about what Qian was going to say to his mother.

But Qian pushed him out instead.

Clearly not allowing him to listen, but this hardly troubled Yu Minglang. He decided to stick to the door and eavesdrop openly.

Mr. Yu and Mr. Yu went to the living room to continue discussing how to handle this matter.

"Old Two, what do you think?"

"Under no circumstances should such people be allowed to exist in the workplace."

"Aside from these, I understand you seem to have rented a house for that young girl?" Mr. Yu, who knew everything about his brothers, was the real patriarch.

He initially wanted to use Laomao’s affair to knock some sense into his younger brother, but Mr. Yu appeared perplexed.

"What’s it got to do with Daya?"

"..." Mr. Yu’s psychological shadow was unfathomable. His divorced, older brother bringing up a child seemed so dense, how could he be this slow?

Considering how much they had discussed as a family, Mr. Yu’s focus was solely on the work side; he hadn’t noticed the impact the rumors could have on a woman?

If he didn’t know his own brother so well, understanding that this was simply slow thinking, Mr. Yu might even believe he was cold-hearted.

"Old Laomao can handle the work side himself, but our mom and I, along with Laomao, are all worried about our sister-in-law." When dealing with a slow brother, unless the words are clear, Old Two won’t understand.

"She’s so smart, what could possibly happen to her?" Although Mr. Yu was slow, his sixth sense was strong. He hadn’t sensed any anxiety from Qian at all, on the contrary, it was his younger brother Yu Minglang who was both anxious and furious.

"I’m never worried about Qian. She’s a rare, exceptional woman, a true standout among thousands. But how many Chen Xiaoqian’s are there in the world? Without looking too far, do you think the woman looking after your child now could withstand such rumors?"

"Why is Daya being brought up again?" Mr. Yu was puzzled, so simple a thing, why did the family keep reiterating?

Just now Laomao and his wife talked about it, and now big brother is too?

"Go back and pay attention to what people are saying about the community where you rented the house. You’re a divorced man with a child; it doesn’t matter what they say about you, but consider the young girl’s feelings."

Seeing his brother’s demeanor, Mr. Yu decided to spell it out more clearly.

"Once the issue in Laomao’s family is resolved, invite Qian over to your place for a few days and let her handle this matter."

Big Brother now has immense trust in Qian’s ability to handle things. This girl gives him the sense that she and Yu Minglang are truly a match made in heaven, extraordinarily outstanding.

On the other side of the door, Qian earnestly said to Mrs. Yu.

"Auntie, there’s something I want to tell you. Minglang didn’t do anything inappropriate to me at the hospital."

"...Hmm?"

"The blood you saw wasn’t because we... did anything. It was my sudden period staining the sheets."

"Why tell me? Actually, you didn’t have to."

Mrs. Yu hadn’t expected Qian to tell her this.

Qian also knew that sometimes misunderstanding isn’t necessarily bad.

After all, she had just escaped that kind of situation. If she met an in-law family who particularly cared about this, clarifying the misunderstanding might not be in her best interest.

"I don’t want to see Minglang get hit by you because of this. For something he didn’t do, I don’t like him taking the blame."

Qian also understood that besides wanting to get engaged, Yu Minglang certainly had protective feelings for her and would rather be beaten than speak up.

But the problem is, she didn’t want to see him being misunderstood.
