Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 407 - 381: Xiaoqiang Takes Action

Honestly, if Qu Xue hadn’t come over to disgust Qian, Qian wouldn’t even have wanted to deal with Qu Xue, as the current Qian is no longer the same as she was in her previous life.

She now owns a car, a house, businesses, a man, and has a bright future. She isn’t even on the same level as Qu Xue anymore. If she were to bully Qu Xue actively, Qian would feel she was lowering herself. Last time, it was purely for fun that she scared her, but now Qu Xue comes over to show off. If she doesn’t crush her, she’d be too useless.

Qian is thinking about how to play while watching Yu Minglang, who is making phone calls to sort things out.

"Get me this woman’s financial status, including her withdrawal records. If she’s talking about ten thousand dollars, she better be able to back it up. Once you find the records, directly file a lawsuit against her for defamation and extortion. Is Xiaoliu at the newspaper? Call him over. Tell him this topic is free for him; I don’t even want the tip-off fee. Let him make the most of it—it’s a real-life version of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf, with so much warning significance!"

Yu Minglang, defending his girlfriend, showed no mercy. Qian initially listened to him handle the issues, but after a while, her attention was diverted.

Standing by the window now, in the morning light, wearing a white V-neck wool sweater, paired with a face full of angles, a cold expression, a calm voice, and a strategic posture, even his fingers holding the phone appeared exceptionally long.

Qian supported her chin with her hand, quietly admiring his stance for her.

It’s not that she can’t solve problems; he knows she can. Yet he still wants to uphold justice for her. This feeling of being pampered isn’t bad at all.

Hmm, occasionally pretending to be a weak woman and hiding behind him feels quite nice.

Yu Minglang dealt with the issues calmly, and when he turned around, he saw Qian staring at him.

"That annoying woman is like a lingering ghost; I’m going to sue her till she doesn’t even have underwear left."

"... You should at least leave her a fig leaf. No one wants to see that thing; don’t pollute people’s eyes."

Yu Minglang was slightly amused, stretched his brows somewhat, and walked over to embrace her, sitting her on his lap.

"What crap is this? Not only is she ungrateful, but she dares to swagger around. Let’s see her swagger enough!"

His Qian, he says a few words for her safety, but what’s Qu Xue? She can’t say anything. Once this matter is investigated and countersued for extortion, she’ll have nowhere to run, utterly despicable!

"Mei, are you angry? Don’t get mad over such people." Yu Minglang saw Qian staring blankly at him, thinking she felt aggrieved. This kind of thing, if it happened to anyone, would infuriate them.

Being falsely accused for doing good deeds isn’t uncommon. Someone helped an elderly person, only to be falsely accused of being the culprit who knocked them down, ultimately ordered to pay a huge sum, and unable to cope, committed suicide—this kind of thing happens.

In the imagined world, it’s supposed to be ’you honor me a foot, I honor you a yard,’ but in reality, things can’t be predicted. There’s always someone like Qu Xue, who shamelessly slanders people.

"I’m not angry; I’m just—Xiaoqiang, I think you look really handsome right now; I want to kiss you."

Yu Minglang’s bun directly dropped into his porridge.

Qian blinked. Was she a bit immodest and scared Xiaoqiang?

Actually, she wanted to say, just for his handsome defense and protection of her, a bloodbath fight would be justified...

Of course, being a dignified female boss, Qian wouldn’t really say that. Although she’s not superstitious, she still cares about some things. Doing so is not only unhygienic, but according to superstition, it can bring bad luck to men. Her Xiaoqiang often does dangerous work, and she wouldn’t want him to take risks.

Qian casually teased Yu Minglang, making him passionate and energetic, flipping her over on the dining table and kissing her endlessly. This breakfast was much better than the food. Once he had kissed her enough, he put her on his lap, eating breakfast together, completely unaffected by Qu Xue’s false accusations.

Qu Xue thought she brought big trouble to Qian and was secretly pleased, but after a day, she didn’t see Qian appear but was instead shocked by Yu Minglang’s people.

They not only gathered her financial proof but proved her account only had 4214 dollars; she had no financial income recently. She was merely a working girl; although she previously clung to Chen Lin, a small laundry shop owner, Chen Lin had given her money, but due to her extravagant spending and preference for fancy clothes, it was almost all spent. Plus, she recently rented a place, all outflow and no inflow.

While she was dating the small gaming shop owner, he was stingy with money and didn’t give Qu Xue much. She focused on throwing dirt on Qian but forgot to consider the actual situation: ten thousand dollars was an astronomical figure for her, totally unattainable!

Without proof of having such money, her false accusation against Qian doesn’t hold. Qu Xue couldn’t even settle the matter if she wanted; Yu Minglang is reluctant to act against a woman, but if she dared to mess with Qian, that’s another story.

Yu Minglang had done everything needed; Qian enjoyed the relaxation. He told the newspaper reporters to emphasize this matter, hiding Qian’s name but revealing the story, which immediately stirred public uproar.

Discouraging the brave and sacrificing morality—this is a moral collapse. While the reporters hid Qian’s identity, they didn’t conceal Qu Xue’s identity, posting her photos. Everyone could see it was Qu Xue, making her a public nuisance.

The reporters skillfully leveraged this hot topic to sparking discussions. Although in this era, online opinion wasn’t as fierce, it caught attention within Q City, even reaching the provincial newspaper, emphasizing the need to uphold new civility with moral degenerates, deserving a harsh critique.

Yu Minglang clearly understood that if Qu Xue claimed she was too shocked and confused, remembered mistakenly, without causing substantial damage to Qian’s reputation, imprisoning her wasn’t realistic. But the power of public opinion was much harsher than having her inside for a few months.

The report hit the public’s pain point; being ungrateful and extorting led to severe negative effects, everyone had to spit at her, and this incident even became a written test topic in the civil servant exam that year, where examinees had to express their views. The core was strengthening the importance of socialist core values and cultivating moral consciousness among social members.

Moreover, even middle school students faced an essay topic about this incident in their midterm exams; schools kept up with the times.

Qu Xue, consequently, became an object of strong dislike among students. What was the point of extortion causing everyone to tackle such difficult exam questions? Didn’t she know how hard such questions are for kids?
