Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 698 - 672: Heading Straight Into the Line of Fire

Chen Xiaoqian walked in and stood in the empty room. The sunlight streamed in, and the floating dust in the air was clearly visible. The room felt a bit empty and lonely without people, but the sunlight filled it with hope.

This is how she always bids farewell to her patients. Some she snatches back from death itself, and they might never meet again. Such a farewell represents the glory of being a doctor because never seeing them again means the patient is recovering well.

"Sis, this is for you." Liumei came in, carrying a big bunch of bright red flowers.

"Who sent them?"

"Weiwei bought them for you when she left. She knew parting from you would be hard, and she cried a lot. Ye Xiaoyu said she would bring her back to see you after her trip, and that’s why she left with her sister."

Qian accepted the flowers, they were a bunch of red carnations, representing Weiwei’s gratitude for the past days. This was the cheapest fee Qian had ever received, but she liked it a lot.

"I’ll go put them in a vase."

Next time we meet, hopefully, that little girl will no longer be my patient and can become my sister or friend.

"By the way, Sis, this is also for you!" Liumei pulled a notebook from her waist. "Ye Xiaoyu asked me to give it to you. Besides this, she also left us a box of unopened cosmetics, saying we could use them since she won’t be needing them anymore."

Qian had not only controlled Weiwei’s depression but also reshaped Ye Xiaoyu’s worldview through treating her sister, curing Ye Xiaoyu’s compulsive makeup disorder.

With one hand free, Qian opened the notebook, and her mouth twitched.

The first page neatly displayed in big letters: Meiwei’s Unspeakable Secret History

Wasn’t this Xiaoyu’s little record book?

That name, really brainless.

On the first page, it was written, on a certain year, certain month, certain day, Meiwei received a mysterious man at home while dressed in pajamas.

When Ye Xiaoyu was working as a housekeeper for Qian, she wrote down observations of Qian’s activities.

Not just meetings with some man or saying something reckless; she even noted if Qian spent a long time in the bathroom, adding in brackets, suspected constipation...

Qian couldn’t help but laugh and cry at this dense record. It was funny, yes, but she thought Xiaoyu had missed her calling as a paparazzo. This whole record didn’t contain many real events; it was purely Xiaoyu’s imagination flying off.

As she flipped through the back, the records changed.

On a certain year, certain month, certain day, my sister and I moved out. The Meiwei I dislike made me no longer rely on makeup to validate myself. She also rescued my sister from the clutches of death. Although I left still disliking her, I hoped she’d break up with the man I used to like.

When Qian saw this, she really wanted to flip her middle finger. What the heck! We won’t break up! Try to get over it!

The date was today; this annoying Ye Xiaoyu couldn’t leave without disgusting her one more time!

As Qian was cursing Ye Xiaoyu, she casually flipped to a page, noticing tiny words barely visible, in stark contrast to Ye Xiaoyu’s large character complaints earlier.

Though I still dislike Meiwei, I want to say thank you. Thank you for bringing my sister and me into a new life. May good people like you have peace all their lives. I really dislike Meiwei, and I’ll never like her.

"What a groveler, so awkward, even in saying thanks. As if anyone cares about your liking! I dislike you too! Who’s a good person here?" Qian snorted, closing the book arrogantly. This Xiaoyu was really something.

"You are a good person~" an unfamiliar voice rang out, echoing clearly in the empty room. Qian looked up to see a foreigner with a baseball cap standing at the door, holding a bag.

"Hello~ I’m Akateris. I’m the new tenant of this apartment, nice to meet you!" said the foreigner, removing her cap to reveal her golden hair, grinning at Qian.

The person at the door was a foreigner but spoke fluent Mandarin. Her physique and voice were quite androgynous, carrying a large bag, presumably her luggage, and a costly camera hung around her neck.

Noticing Qian’s gaze, Akateris cheerfully answered the question Qian had in her mind but hadn’t voiced.

"I’m Akateris, from Country F, transferred here for work. I’m female, interested in men. You can call me Aka~"

"Hello." Qian nodded politely at her and turned to leave.

"Feel free to reach out if you need anything. We’ll be neighbors from now on; I just moved here today." Aka warmly greeted Qian, who only nodded indifferently and then turned to leave.

Her attitude towards strangers was always like this, neither close nor distant.

Once Qian left, Aka casually threw her bag on the ground, pulled out her phone, and sent a message without concern.

Boss, I’ve moved in opposite Chen Xiaoqian’s place and became a neighbor. The goddess is somewhat aloof and doesn’t pay attention to me, but everything is within control...

Qian returned home to find Liumei sitting on the sofa, looking helplessly at the box Xiaoyu left for them.

"Sis, what should we do with all this stuff? How could she buy so much!"

All of it was unopened, bottles and jars, they made her dizzy just looking at them.

"She used to have a compulsive makeup disorder, buying these upon sight isn’t surprising. Use what you can, give away what you can’t, or when your and Qiuqiu’s school opens, use them as prizes for parents."

"Sis, aren’t you using any?"

"Shuixian just brought me a set, I can’t use it all."

"Oh, alright then, I’ll pick through them. Sis, can you tell me which ones are suitable for middle-aged women? My boyfriend’s mom and sister are coming soon, I want to gift a set to her."

"They’re coming?"

"Yes, they said they’ll arrive by tomorrow. I just feel a bit weird about it all, Sis, tell me about the dos and don’ts when meeting them. So far, everything you predicted has come true. When I said I wanted to buy a house, he said we wouldn’t break up."

Regarding Liumei’s boyfriend, Qian was not optimistic about him at all.

Despite dating for so long, they’d only made over 10 calls and rarely met. When Liumei was identified as from the county, he immediately suggested breaking up. Qian advised Liumei to post in her Space diary about her recent plans to buy a house. Within three days, that jerk called, regretting breaking up and wanting to reconcile.

While busy hosting Shuixian and treating Weiwei these past days, Liumei’s so-called boyfriend made a concentrated effort, calling three times in a week, matching several months’ frequency. Now he’s bringing his whole family to see Liumei, truly a practical bunch.

"Want me to give you ideas..." Qian was maneuvering all this for the sake of getting this family here.

Looks like they’re asking for trouble.
