Chapter 335 - 309: Take Her Away
Seeing Qian staring at that photo, the uncle earnestly introduced it to her.
"His name is Liu Shuang, code name Lone Wolf. I have ties with Minglang’s father. Our children also worked at the same place. It’s fate, I guess."
His gaze at the photo was overly mournful, which Qian understood.
She felt a bit sad too. Life always has so many things beyond our control. Even someone in such a high position like the uncle has his helplessness.
"My ex-wife was a teacher, and she taught psychology. When we divorced, she argued intensely with me. She couldn’t forgive me for sending our son away for training. She didn’t understand my talk of dedication and sacrifice, so we parted ways. The first time I saw you, I felt you seemed a lot like that old lady—In short, I hope you’ll seriously consider you and Yu Minglang. He’s the most outstanding young man I’ve met. I don’t want him to end up like my son one day."
Qian blinked, "I don’t think he will."
"Won’t?"
The uncle clearly wanted a definite answer, and this ambiguous wording obviously didn’t satisfy him.
"I think your ex-wife’s point wasn’t that she couldn’t stand sacrificing and dedicating for your ideals. If she really is like me, then perhaps she couldn’t stand you as a person, felt you weren’t worth her sacrifice and dedication. Marriage, at a certain level, it’s the emotional foundation that keeps it going. Uncle, your foundation isn’t stable...
The uncle turned green in the face.
Qian felt a mischievous glee of success and added another line.
"I said Yu Minglang and I wouldn’t end up like you because... Yu Minglang is better at considering a woman’s feelings, and I wouldn’t bear to treat him like that, honestly."
Bam! The old single man took a critical hit.
Qian triumphantly made a V-sign. Gone are the days when she’d be broken up with just one phone call incited.
When Yu Minglang came over to find Qian, he saw his straightforward uncle looking extremely sullen, while his little Mei was steadily sitting on the uncle’s sofa.
"Can I have a different tea? This one is bad." She was even picky.
The uncle waved his hand, "Take her away, take this aggravating little girl away now!"
It seems they got along quite well...right?
Yu Minglang wasn’t worried about his uncle bullying Qian because he knew too well his boss was a sharp tongue with a soft heart, and Mei’s combat power never fails.
The company was too big, with many shareholders. The uncle supported Xiaoqiang, also an important external force allowing Yu Minglang to take over the company smoothly.
But when he came in and saw his uncle full of ire with nowhere to vent, yet Qian unscathed, he had to ask.
"Uncle, you didn’t bully my fiancée, did you?"
"Look at her; does she look like she’s been bullied," the uncle replied grumpily.
Who’s really bullying whom? He only wanted to chat and probe Qian’s thoughts, but this girl was impervious to all poisons, and he ended up deeply hurt!
Yu Minglang glanced at Qian and said fairly.
"My Qianbao is certainly fine. The key is... how about this, if you want psychological counseling, I can ask my Qianbao to give you a discount, specially for guiding middle-aged men having trouble thinking straight—"
Yu Minglang narrowly dodged the pen holder thrown by the uncle, and quickly pulled Qian up to hide behind him, fearing the single middle-aged man would take it out on her.
"You’ve seen my girlfriend, I’m taking her now, still have things to do. The engagement party, you have to come, but don’t give too much for the gift, 800,000 or so will do, really, don’t overdo it or I’ll feel bad."
The uncle wanted to hit him again.
This kid was cheeky, and the wife he found was particularly good at heartbreak.
"Hurry and go—wait, when’s the engagement?"
"The parents are setting the time by evening. It’s going to happen before school starts, rest assured, it won’t delay work, I’ve combined sick leave and engagement leave."
"Shameless, it’s an engagement not a wedding, where’s your leave, hurry and take her away!"
Qian saw how casually Yu Minglang bantered with his uncle and understood that her performance today passed the test.
Given the fondness for this uncle, who often wore a stern face but secretly eased Yu Minglang’s path, Qian decided to say one more thing before leaving.
"Uncle, if the time of separation from your ex-wife isn’t overly long and neither of you have formed new families, maybe you could reconnect. What she said was clearly aimed at you, not your profession. Try coaxing her; there might still be hope... Of course, if you’re a die-hard machismo and can’t coax people, you’re destined to remain single."
"Yu Minglang! I decided you’re to continue working overtime; no holiday for you this afternoon!" the uncle, embittered by Qian’s words, erupted.
"Boss, I’ll take her home for further education right away!"
Yu Minglang dragged Qian out the door, fearing any delay would indeed cost him his holiday.
Now his brother’s busy, and his dad’s health isn’t good, so the only one who can really manage the company is his uncle. If the uncle doesn’t handle it, Xiaoqiang won’t have the time to spend with Qian.
After Qian and Yu Minglang left, the uncle, amused and irritated, picked up the pen holder.
"These two little brats, how did they end up together..."
However, this girl suits Yu Minglang quite well.
The uncle picked up that photo, looked at it again, wiped it again, and finally, touching the photo of Lone Wolf, began to talk to himself.
"Son, if you were alive now, you should be letting me hold a grandchild by now. Ah, Dad truly misses you..."
Yu Minglang, that kid, he’s lucky, the people he met are smarter and more understanding than the ones you met.
Thinking of what Qian said, the uncle frowned.
Coaxing...
Thinking of that formidable old lady’s sharpness, he got a headache, and asked the young man smiling brightly in the photo, "Do you think I should coax your mom, saying one sentence only to wait for ten more in return, just like Yu Minglang’s fiancée, studying the same major..."
Thinking again, something seemed off.
"Did I tell that girl I was married to the old lady for over twenty years before divorcing? She could tell?"
Yu Minglang took Qian out, and Qian asked Yu Minglang.
"Xiaoqiang, I think I might have offended your uncle, is he going to make things difficult for you?"
"You’re overthinking it; even if you don’t offend him, he doesn’t spare me anyway."
Torture, coming from Yu Minglang, a pure 24k steel straight man, is absolutely a compliment. Only those he approves of have the right to be tortured; that’s called training, and with training comes growth.
Now, Yu Minglang was taking Qian, to fix, oh no, to train a soon-to-leave awkward guy, bringing him along for the growth.
Such positive energy, such vision.
