Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 704 - 678: Now That’s a Real Spectacle

Mai completely gave up resisting. He understood now, he couldn’t outsmart Chen Xiaoqian, she was doing it on purpose. I’ll endure!

The complaints at the next table continued.

"What time is it already? Why isn’t she here yet?" Puff-eyed complained, looking at his watch.

"So impolite, kids from small towns are just not good." The middle-aged woman spoke as if her family came from a huge city.

"I heard she practiced martial arts on the mountain since she was a kid, a girl among a bunch of men. Such a person shouldn’t be let in the door. What’s my brother attracted to in her..."

On the mountain... practicing martial arts?!

Narcissus looked at Qian, her eyes filled with doubt. Qian’er, isn’t this too much of a coincidence?

Qian curled her lips; it was indeed such a coincidence.

Narcissus finally understood why Qian was so interested in strangers; it turned out the people sitting next door were Liumei’s boyfriend’s family!

Qian is definitely not the kind of person to meddle in others’ business. If it doesn’t matter to her, she wouldn’t even bother to glance, but if someone crosses into her territory, whoever dares to mess with Qian’s people, she dares to dig up their ancestors’ graves—gee, it’s quite catchy, Narcissus silently gave herself a thumbs up.

"A woman who doesn’t act like a woman, always crazy every day, I really can’t stand such a woman. I wonder what kind of family would raise such a child. I feel embarrassed to tell relatives my son found such a daughter-in-law." In just a few minutes, the middle-aged woman at the next table emphasized countless times her dissatisfaction with her future daughter-in-law.

Embarrassed to say he found such a daughter-in-law, yet brazenly eyeing her property?

"What’s wrong with such people psychologically?" Narcissus asked Qian.

Qian shook her head, "Poor character doesn’t equate to mental illness. They’re not sick, but a lot of people with mental illnesses are driven to sickness by selfish people like them."

Narcissus really wanted her bodyguards to give them a kick, but considering Mai was a poser, she could only suppress her anger and continue listening.

The longer she listened, the angrier she got. Liumei was their good friend, yet in those people’s mouths, she became a cheap woman offering herself to men?

Having a meal with such people is revolting. Narcissus stood up to touch up her makeup, Qian followed her out, and Mai tagged along too. Qian pretended not to see him, treating him like air.

In the restroom, Narcissus and Qian washed their hands side by side.

"I can hardly eat, it’s so disgusting. They can’t really be Liumei’s future in-laws, can they?" Narcissus asked Qian.

"They are Liumei’s boyfriend’s family, but not her future in-laws." Qian shook her head; without her nod, this marriage couldn’t happen.

"Living in the house bought by the woman, yet still judging her this way, do they have no shame?"

"In these people’s eyes, their son is incredibly outstanding, charming enough to attract girls who offer themselves to men, living in a big house has nothing to do with the woman’s contribution, it’s all thanks to their son’s boundless charm. Narcissus, the issue you should care about isn’t Liumei, you need to think about what you personally know."

With Qian’s reminder, Narcissus remembered Mahadi from the Carter family was lurking around her, she’d been so caught up with Liumei’s bizarre boyfriend’s family that she’d forgotten such a big deal.

"Your current troubles and that prime family outside are of the same nature."

Narcissus suspected Mahadi had planted a listening device on her, even in the ladies’ room it might not be safe. She didn’t know how to respond to Qian, so she quietly watched her.

"Narcissus, are you angry over Liumei’s boyfriend’s family’s behavior?"

"Yes, I wish I could slap them a few times."

"Then remember what I plan to do next. Once you understand my intention, you’ll know what to do about ’Schrodinger’."

Qian spoke in double meaning, her words were subtle but she believed Narcissus could grasp her meaning with her intelligence.

Though she didn’t understand Qian’er’s intentions now, Narcissus knew as long as she followed Qian’s advice and sensed things, she could certainly unravel what Mahadi was up to.

The farthest distance in the world isn’t life and death; it’s Mai overhearing Qian and Narcissus talking yet unable to comprehend their meaning. Mahadi heard their conversation but didn’t realize it had anything to do with him, so he didn’t pay attention to this dialogue.

Thus, it was fated he’d end up being played half to death by Qian in the future and getting given away as a "flower" by Qian, but that’s a tale for later.

Narcissus and Qian prepared to go back to their seats, coincidentally, Liumei’s boyfriend’s mother and Puff-eyed sister were coming over as well. Seeing Qian and Narcissus arm in arm, dressed stylishly, Puff-eyed’s mom took a few glances and whispered in dialect to her daughter, meaning roughly which rich boss’s mistress is this.

Puff-eyed took a glance at Qian and Narcissus, her gaze was very unpleasant, and she babbled a string of words.

Puff-eyed assumed Qian and Narcissus couldn’t understand dialect, so she didn’t lower her voice and spoke at normal volume.

Ha, bullying others thinking they can’t understand dialect? Qian raised an eyebrow and fluently asked Narcissus in English, "Can you understand what they’re saying?"

"Looks like they’re gossiping about us, doesn’t sound like nice words," Narcissus replied in English to Qian.

They spoke while looking at Puff-eyed, giving Puff-eyed the feeling they were gossiping about her instead.

Puff-eyed refused to be outdone, using dialect to continue wickedly evaluating Qian and Narcissus with her mom.

"Mai, aren’t you from the noble Carter family? Did you understand?" Qian asked Mahadi.

Mahadi shook his head in frustration. Their family isn’t a translation machine; understanding Mandarin is already quite impressive, who could understand dialect?

"Acting as if you grew a few basketballs, yet can’t learn such simple words. Are you worthy of your noble surname?" This time Qian spoke in Mandarin, interspersed with an English word, ’basketball’, and directed her words at Mai.

"Some people just love to pretend, as if they haven’t learned English. Basketball is just a middle school vocabulary! Half Mandarin and half English, acting like they’re so amazing," Puff-eyed assumed Qian was sarcastically speaking about her with that long stretch of English, so her tone was unkind as she loudly retorted.

Puff-eyed’s level was only enough to understand ’basketball’, as for the long string, she truly couldn’t comprehend, but Qian’s disdainful look successfully misled her. Puff-eyed thought Qian was badmouthing her in English, so she eagerly spouted sour words to indicate she wasn’t illiterate.

"Interrupting people isn’t a good habit, especially when you don’t understand what I mean. What’s ’basketbasketball’ minus the ’ball’?" Qian asked Puff-eyed.

"Basket!"

"Then what’s ’basket’ plus ’ball’?"

"Basketball!" Puff-eyed confidently flaunted her knowledge.

"Pfft!" Narcissus finally got it, pfft, it cracked her up!
