Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 679 - 653: Qian Is the Mountain King

Teng Shuixian, who was just mocked by Qian, heard that Qian still intended to usurp the position of older sister... This was unbearable.

"How am I causing trouble! I’m very sad!"

"Sad, my foot! Sending texts and pretending to be all artsy, aren’t you just trying to avoid the problem? If you really have the resolve to break up, you’d be rolling out of here right now, flying over to confront him in person. Ask him what his solution is. If he can’t give a satisfactory answer, smack him and then break up. But instead, you quietly send a text and hide away, getting all worked up. Future boss lady, I’m worried about your employees. What are you going to do with such a huge family business?"

"My dad said that our family business is ours. If I can’t handle it, you’ll have to step up."

"Have some ambition, would you! Godfather’s intention was that while you’re eating meat, I might as well have a sip of soup. He was being polite, and you took it seriously? That wedding gift he gave isn’t enough for me to be your servant or sell myself to your family. Giving you some ideas as your advisor is one thing, but don’t expect me to join in the management. I’m too busy with my stuff."

"I’ve realized you really are a heartless woman. Just now, you were saying we’re like sisters. But when I ask for help, you back off!"

"It’s you who haven’t figured out the order. If your dad can’t make it, there’s still your brother, and if he can’t, then it’s me. The two men before me haven’t fallen yet, so what do you expect me to do!"

"Now my dad says he won’t interfere in any of my decisions, that it’ll be up to me now. My brother and I broke up, damn, you led me into this! Dexi broke up with me too, now I’m only left with you! And instead of comforting me, you’re stabbing me in the heart!"

"Wait until you’ve completely broken up to tell me that. I’m not chatting with a woman who’s pretending to be heartbroken and making things difficult for herself. Remember, when you truly find yourself abandoned by everyone, I, Chen Xiaoqian, will definitely be by your side supporting you. But as long as there are capable people around you, don’t bother me. Can’t you see I’m busy now?"

Qian looked around the room made messy by Yu Minglang and sighed. She flipped open the home decor book Shuixian had brought over. On the first page, it was boldly written in English: Never put green flooring in your house because it’s hard to match with the right furniture.

Looking at the vast expanse of green flooring in the house, Qian fell silent.

She’s really busy...

Shuixian felt a bit lost, but she realized that Qian’er was truly amazing. After Qian’er reprimanded her, the overwhelming emotions bottled up for days suddenly eased a lot. Qian’er had said to support her when she really broke up, but wouldn’t bother with her now...

Isn’t this a breakup now? Why does the thought of it make her feel relieved?

Outside the door, the bodyguard Mahadi took the miniature earpiece out of his ear. It was a bug, and he had heard the conversation between her and Qian perfectly.

What exactly did Teng Daye give Qian as a wedding gift, and what did this Chen Xiaoqian mean by what she said to Teng Shuixian?

This man of mysterious origin showed a glimmer of contemplation in his eyes. He did not know how the chief aide of the Teng Family, Chen Xiaoqian, would affect his plans, but his intuition told him that this woman was extraordinary.

Inside, Qian stabilized Shuixian with just a few words. She wasn’t worried about Shuixian’s relationship issues. What she was contemplating was that "bodyguard" of Shuixian’s. Whether his coming over to be a bodyguard was good or bad for Shuixian and what his true intentions were, Qian still needed to observe and deliberate...

Qian went out to dinner with Shuixian. Although Shuixian was a wealthy heiress and future boss lady, she had a fondness for home-style meals, and the dining choice was always an affordable home-style restaurant.

Qian watched her eating with gusto. "Is it really that good?"

"Ever since I got over the anorexia, everything tastes delicious." Shuixian’s anorexia was cured by Qian. Her dad gave her a two-day break, and with Qian, she could pretend to be an ordinary woman without so many worries, making every meal enjoyable.

"Are you eating well because you’re over the anorexia or because I said you haven’t really broken up?" As expected of Qian, straight to the point.

"Ahem!" Shuixian choked.

After teasing her enough, Qian switched the topic back.

"If psychological disorders are well-controlled, they can become an advantage in life. For example, controlling depression can make you appreciate life more and face it more peacefully. Many with mania are actually bossy CEOs. Overcoming anorexia can make you savor the taste of food. And sometimes, failing to break up might even reveal conflicts and strengthen the relationship once resolved."

Everything in the world has a bright side, even psychological ailments.

The final words hit Shuixian’s heart. Her previously heavy mood now had a sliver of hope. Under Qian’s teasing gaze, Shuixian, not wanting this sharp sister to see through her feelings, changed the topic again.

"By the way, why hasn’t that girl living with you come over to say hi?"

Shuixian knew Qian lived with a relative of Yu Minglang.

"She’s got something going on lately." Qian smiled meaningfully, pushing her glasses lightly.

"Your expression tells me you’re up to no good again." Having known Qian for years, Shuixian understood a pattern.

Whenever Qian gave someone a mischievous idea, she would smile wickedly and adjust her glasses.

"Is it that obvious?" Indeed, Qian had given Liumei some advice.

Shuixian mimicked the glasses-pushing gesture, leaving Qian exasperated.

"I should find time to get a LASIK surgery. Wearing glasses always betrays my thoughts to you guys."

"I don’t think Yu Minglang would let you."

What Shuixian could guess, Yu Minglang surely could too. Watching Qian causing trouble was one of life’s pleasures.

"What he says doesn’t count. We’re legally married; he’s mine now. I’ll do as I please."

Shuixian giggled, "Why do I feel like you’re a mountain bandit and he’s just the husband you kidnapped to be with you?"

"If I managed to ’kidnap’ him, it means he’s worth it. Why haven’t I ’kidnapped’ anyone else?" Qian said proudly.

Just as they were chatting, there was some commotion outside.

Shuixian’s "bodyguard" was having an argument with a waiter.

Shuixian stood up to see what was going on.

"What’s the matter?" Shuixian asked the bodyguard.

"The waiter wants to seat other guests at our table. I’m negotiating." Bodyguard Mahadi replied.

The waiter almost burst into tears. Sir, is that negotiating? That’s blatant intimidation.

Since Shuixian and Qian had arrived rather late, all the private rooms had been booked. Only a room with two tables was available.

"Don’t make things hard for the staff. We’re not that special. If there’s no place, let them join us," Shuixian instructed the bodyguard to keep a low profile when outside. The waiter looked at Shuixian appreciatively.

Standing next to the waiter were a pair of well-dressed middle-aged women. One of them wore black-framed glasses. Qian saw, and thought, why does she look so familiar?

Oh, she remembered, it was her!
