Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 689: Chapter 663 Nothing is More Important Than the Daughter-in-Law (Thanks to kateliu for the Silver Reward and 23 updates)

Xiao Qian had something she couldn’t figure out.

She was quite adept at guessing people’s thoughts, from magnates like Mai Hadi to scum like Oliver James, no one could escape her calculations.

But Yu Xiaoqiang was the one she couldn’t figure out.

She couldn’t figure him out in the past, and she still can’t figure him out now. Boss Qian refuses to admit that Yu Xiaoqiang is good at disguising himself. She felt that it was all because Yu Xiaoqiang would always contemplate unspeakable things with a very serious and earnest expression.

For instance, he was now driving the car very seriously, but his mind was filled with thoughts about corporal punishment.

Xiao Qian, who had more important things to do, started to ponder over Old Mai’s matter after seeing off Liu Mei. When Ming Lang drove the car to their new home, Xiao Qian didn’t get off. Instead, she took out her personal diary and wrote a line on it.

Check if there are listening devices in the car, and check when you get home too.

Ming Lang temporarily put aside his inappropriate fantasies, instantly switching from Er Ha to an elite mode.

He signaled Xiao Qian to get out of the car, and then carefully searched the car, but didn’t find anything suspicious.@@novelbin@@

Both went upstairs, and once again were confronted by the unattractive interior decoration…

Xiao Qian said to Ming Lang, “I’ll go shower first.”

Ming Lang nodded, pacing around the room.

Xiao Qian glanced at the empty house. Except for the bedroom and bathroom essentials, there was nothing in the new house: no cabinets, no TV, no appliances, only an ugly green floor and hideous pink walls that looked like something out of a rural love drama series.

The items she had bought with Lily Tang during the day hadn’t been unpacked yet and were piled up in a corner of the living room.

Er Ha Qiang was pretending to want to settle the score with Liu Mei, but it was clear he was just looking for trouble…

Ming Lang made a round in the room. There was nothing in their living room except for the sofa and coffee table, all were waiting to be bought according to Xiao Qian’s preferences. Standing in the middle of the living room, he closed his eyes and began to mentally filter potential scenarios.

The box that Lily had brought for Xiao Qian was still next to the coffee table. The two women must have been sitting on the sofa chatting, while the bodyguard brought in the box. Given his wife’s character, she would definitely send the bodyguard away, not wanting to interfere with their sisterly chat.

That meant Old Mai only had the moment when the box was set down to make his move.

Ming Lang bent down and reached under the sofa where the box had been set down. He randomly groped around and pulled out a round object.

Aha, a listening device?

Using his personal knife, Ming Lang broke the device and threw the shattered pieces into the trash bin.

Although he wasn’t very adept at figuring out his wife’s thoughts, it wasn’t difficult for him to deal with stuff like this.

Ming Lang didn’t even look at the brown paper bag containing the stock transfer agreement that everyone was fighting over. He sat on the sofa, leafing through a renovation book, just as Xiao Qian walked out wrapped in a towel after her shower.

“Finished?”

“Yes, there was a listening device under the sofa.”

“So he did have ill intentions.” Xiao Qian wasn’t surprised by this. It was clear that this Mai Hadi had ulterior motives.

“What exactly is he up to?”

Xiao Qian whispered something into his ear.

“So it turns out… no wonder he brought this thing. It could fetch a good price on the black market abroad.” Ming Lang took out the black boxing gloves.

“What’s so special about this?” Xiao Qian felt it and it seemed like just a normal half-hand boxing glove. She couldn’t see anything special about it.

“Look here, there’s a switch. If he makes a fist and it touches this spot, it will trigger the device inside. There’s a circuit board that can generate a resonant wave. Once it reaches a certain intensity, it can shatter things. The theory is quite complex. You can just think of it as a kind of resonator. To make one like this costs a lot.”

“So such things actually exist?” Xiao Qian was curious and touched it again, “Then who needs martial arts in the future? Anyone wearing this could dominate in close combat.”

“Dominate my ass, this thing is priceless but worthless. We’re already past the era of cold weapons. If people really want to fight, they simply use guns. This thing is worthless in front of a bullet. It’s just a fancy toy that the rich young people buy to show off. It has power but no skill. Against people like us, it can be defeated in one move. It’s completely redundant.”

“Can you find someone to modify this for me? Make it the same size as my hand, so I can use it for self-defense. Who knows when it might come in handy.”

“Your little hand doesn’t need to be holding onto such boring things. You should be grasping more valuable things, like—”

Four pounds?

Seeing the look in his eyes, Xiao Qian knew he was up to no good. How could they get into bed before they’d even discussed serious matters? Xiao Qian slipped away from him like an eel and, only wearing a towel, sat on the sofa, picking up the brown paper bag and elegantly crossing her legs.

Ming Lang swallowed hard as he became entranced by her beautiful legs, feeling the urge to make a move.

“This is the wedding gift from my godfather. Do you want to see it?”

“What’s there to look at a stock transfer agreement? Your godfather has plenty of top lawyers, so there won’t be any problems with the documents they draft. There’s no need for me to check it.” Ming Lang moved in closer absentmindedly. Xiao Qian tried to give him the paper bag, but he didn’t even glance at it, putting his hand directly on hers instead, creating a smooth caress~

“Can you be serious?”

“What could be more serious than making a baby?” A real man should love beauty, not money!

“Did you check it while I was taking a shower?” Xiao Qian swatted away his wandering hand, but he was persistent and came chasing back.

“There’s no need to look. Just by hearing, I can guess that the Tang family is rich but stingy. Last year for your birthday, they gave you a house. The year before, they gave you a bunch of random bags that looked like a manual worker’s sack. I don’t know what kind of taste rich people have. This year we’re getting married, and it coincides with a change in the Tang family’s leadership. Old Fox Tang must be racking his brains to win you over. Having given all the other gifts, all he can give now is shares.”

Lily Tang was saved by Xiao Qian; the two sisters truly cared for each other. As for how much fatherly affection Tang Daye had for Xiao Qian, that remained a mystery.

It wasn’t that Tang Daye had no feelings for Xiao Qian; after all, Xiao Qian had saved Lily and repaired the father-daughter relationship between Lily and Tang Daye. However, it was impossible for Tang Daye to treat Xiao Qian as his own daughter just because of this. He was a businessman, and in his heart, interests always come first. The Tang family had always been generous with Xiao Qian because Tang Daye recognized Xiao Qian’s abilities and wanted to provide Lily with a top-class staff officer. So, being generous towards Xiao Qian was a two-pronged strategy: on the one hand, he could rope Xiao Qian in using Lily’s affection, and on the other hand, he could give Xiao Qian some benefits. This way, if Lily ever ran into trouble in the future, Xiao Qian would definitely help her.

The old fox’s calculations were quite astute, but to Brother Lang, none of this was as important as his wife.

Why is it so white… It’s really nice to look at.
