Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 733 - 707: Crying Children Don’t Always Get Milk

Through Fugui’s impulsive house purchase, Qian concluded an irrefutable truth.

Every bold man transforms into a domineering CEO when chasing a woman. Even if he’s gentle at heart, he’ll do something rash when provoked.

This act was just a young intellectual betting on his reputation for his love interest, yet it made Mr. Yu look quite pleased.

While Fugui was busy paying, the older brother called the manager over, whispered a few words, and the manager nodded in understanding.

Qian, bored, played with her nails, "Big brother, isn’t this considered cheating?"

"It’s our own business; profits shouldn’t go to outsiders." The brother was unabashed about his manipulation.

"Ah, you heartless businessmen, tsk tsk!"

The brother looked at Qian’s pretentious act with amusement, "Fugui gets the first prize, do you want the second one?"

"What is it?"

"Some imported home appliance set, isn’t your place still empty? It should be just enough."

"You really should visit our home to experience your brother’s bizarre taste."

"He has nothing to do with our family now; he’s your man. Our family matriarch said any foolishness from Yu Laomao is your responsibility." The brother could already imagine that his brother wouldn’t do anything impressive.

"Our family matriarch would never say such things; that’s just you talking."

The exposed brother laughed like Maitreya Buddha.

"Seriously, Qian, you really have to manage your household tyrant; whenever it’s something about you, no matter what time it is, he pesters me, daytime or nighttime. You need to keep him in check!"

"Brother, if I manage him, can I still come over and get a guaranteed-winning lottery ticket? It’s like the saying, ’the crying child gets the milk.’ Xiaoqiang and I are both working-class. We’re broke; isn’t it said that some people should get rich first, then everyone prospers together?"

The brother’s mouth twitched, "How come both of you speak with the same line of reasoning? He’s leading you astray. What kind of working-class are you?"

What working-class family pays medical fees by the second? She’s just a little rich girl! Furthermore, how could her man, with such a high yearly salary, pretend to be poor?

"I haven’t turned astray yet." Qian flashed a brilliant smile, "When we move in together later, it probably will."

"..."

The past few years, Xiaoqiang and Mei have lived apart, and they were already quite formidable separately. If they live together, these two smart people will have an exceptionally lively life. They are both masters at outsmarting their brother. If they unite...

Mr. Yu silently decided that he would avoid spending much time in Lishi in the future because each visit would bring trouble. Previously it was Yu the Skinflint and Chen the Skinflint, but now the two have merged. It doesn’t take a genius to know nothing good will come from it.

However, that thought only flashed briefly because Mr. Yu knew he couldn’t stay away from Qian.

"Qian, joking aside, that document I just gave you is important. You must heal that person. I’ve boasted to others about us; it’s about a big collaboration deal for our family. If you handle it for me, you can ask for anything."

"I’m not lacking anything. Just turn that room your brother wrecked into something livable." Qian had a sealed manila envelope in her bag. Her brother had taken her upstairs to discuss this, but before he could say much, the call from his subordinates rushed him away.

But when he got down, he saw Fugui clashing with Ma Lv, so he put the important matters aside to watch the drama unfold; his wife loved gossip.

Qian wasn’t in a hurry to look; she didn’t believe there was any case she couldn’t handle, so she implicitly agreed to her brother’s request.

"What exactly has he done to it?" The brother asked Qian.

Qian took out her phone, showcasing the impressive results captured by a megapixel camera.

The brother looked at it silently, swallowing hard.

"Maybe I should... get a psychologist to help me; perhaps Fugui could fix it?"

This was an odd room, extremely hideous!

Qian successfully left the brother startled yet satisfied, but in seconds, the brother began laughing again.

"Why are you laughing, big brother?"

"I laugh because Yu Laomao finally fooled a wife. Such an odd guy, only someone like you would tolerate; regret is too late, our family doesn’t accept returns, hahaha!"

"..." Alright, you win.

There was a fountain in front of the sales office, and further ahead was the parking lot. Liumei walked with Ma Lv, who, as usual, walked ahead.

When they used to date, it was always like this. Even though they only went out a few times, he always walked ahead without looking back. If she sped up, he’d walk even faster. He once explained that a tough guy shouldn’t be too close to a woman, and she believed it.

Liumei didn’t care much about these matters between men and women, but after spending more time with Qian, she began to change her perspective, noting the interactions between her brother and sister-in-law. Added to that, the things Qian had taught her—Liumei started feeling a bit greedy.

Maybe marriage shouldn’t just be about walking together; maybe talking along the way and having shared interests are important too.

Especially when they were looking at houses earlier, Fugui’s behavior while sticking by her side made Liumei realize that not all men are like Ma Lv.

Ma Lv hadn’t noticed Liumei’s tangled thoughts. He continued walking ahead quickly, and when he stopped in the sparsely populated parking lot, Liumei, deep in thought, almost bumped into his back.

"How old are you? Can’t you watch where you’re walking?"

Again, with the impatient tone, which hadn’t felt too uncomfortable before, but now Liumei couldn’t help but think of Fugui’s concerned expression and his anxious inquiry if she was hurt when she fell earlier.

"What’s with you today? Why are you so close to that guy?" Ma Lv had been brooding all morning.

"Then why are you so distant from me?" A simple act of turning back would have sufficed, yet he chose to stand far away, focused only on being with his family.

"Can’t you come over yourself? What man becomes too close to a woman?" Ma Lv grew up in a male-dominated environment and believed that being too close to a girlfriend would make him seem cheap. Especially since Liumei’s family was better off than his, getting too close would make everyone think he was in it for the money.

"Plenty. My brother always stays by my sister-in-law’s side. But I think it’s not your fault, it’s mine. I shouldn’t have been with you from the start, wasting each other’s time."

Liumei had come to terms.

"What do you mean?"

"Let’s break up."
