Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 721: Chapter 695: The Brilliant Couple Joins Forces Again (Thanks to kateliu for the Silver Reward +32 Chapters)

There were no signs of wealth in the sky, but there was a legend of wealth left behind in the world.

“As the saying goes, when people laugh, cats meow, donkeys smack their lips, puppies run for their lives, and little brothers can only scramble for drumsticks.” Yu Minglang spoke a folk proverb in the form of a comic verse to Old Mai, who had been silently venting his anger through food.

Old Mai’s chicken leg almost got stuck in his throat. He drank water desperately to swallow it down.

Although he didn’t understand the meaning of the comic verse, he could guess from Yu Minglang’s expression that it was nothing good.

“This comic verse is a vivid description of the reactions of animals when they are courting, such as cats meowing to attract mates, and dogs running wildly. During their mating season, dogs are the easiest to lose and are also likely to bite eggs and other things.”@@novelbin@@

Xiao Qian, acting as Dr. Chen once again, explained it to everyone.

Yu Minglang comforted her by stroking her hair, “My wife, you are so excellent; you got it right! That’s exactly what the verse means!”

Are you kidding me? Old Mai could accept the explanation about animals, but clearly, the last line was about himself being dragged in!

Xiao Qian and Yu Minglang laughed together and then started feeding each other affectionately. Old Mai got irritated, thinking that Xiao Qiang’s grilled fish was nothing special, he could eat it too!

“Little brother, go turn the fish over; the small one should be almost cooked.”

Xiao Qian instructed Old Mai to check on the stove, where the small fish she had placed was still cooking.

Reluctantly, Old Mai stood up and walked to the stove. Under the shade of the tree, people were chatting and laughing at the picnic. He stood in the scorching sun, enduring the smoke and flames, feeling unbalanced.

There were only two grilled fish wrapped in tin foil left on the stove. The smaller one was the last one Xiao Qian had put on, which she had personally wrapped. Old Mai didn’t want to take it because he knew that even if he brought the fish back, Xiao Qian and Xiao Qiang would still laugh and poke at his fragile heart.

As he gripped the handle of the wire mesh, Old Mai wanted to place the tin foil packet into the plate. But because of his anger-filled heart, his movements were particularly rough. Thus, when he tried to place it, the tinfoil, loosened by Yu Minglang previously, couldn’t withstand the force and spilled hot soup onto Old Mai’s other hand holding the plate. In pain, he loosened his grip, and the plate burnt onto his shoe, scorching the grilled fish…

“Ah!!!” Old Mai screamed in pain, hopping on one leg before sticking his foot into the nearby bucket of water filled with fish. A big fish was knocked onto the lawn, its mouth opening and closing as if asking the grilled fish lying beside it on the grass.

What’s up buddy, got grilled, huh?

Xiao Qian’s first reaction was to look at Yu Minglang. Brother Lang shrugged, it wasn’t his fault; who could blame the tinfoil for being too weak?

“Xiao Mei, my dear, I found that you might have a hidden dark attribute.”

“Oh?”

“A sword must draw blood when unsheathed! My Xiao Mei has a dark skill hidden within her: every time she takes out a dish from the pot, it must knock someone down! Who else but me?!”

That’s the attitude!

The phrase “who else but me” conveys someone daring to act and take responsibility.

Xiao Qian smirked as she leaned into Yu Minglang’s ear and whispered four similar words, which immediately made him flustered.

The first word was the same “who” with the fourth tone. The second word remained unchanged. The third word changed to the homonymous “ride,” and the last word changed to “you.”

Seeing Yu Minglang blushing in public filled Xiao Qian with satisfaction. Heh, he couldn’t out-tease her!

Who could have thought that Boss Qian, who always played the authoritative role, could utter such colorful words that could fill several psychology textbooks? Those without IQ wouldn’t understand what she said, and those with IQ would doubt their understanding – would such a professional psychologist utter these words?

Logically speaking, it was unlikely. So, if Boss Qian “didn’t say” it, did they hear it wrong?

Yu Minglang really thought he had misheard since his wife seemed so calm after speaking. She was eating and enjoying Old Mai’s pained expression. So, he tentatively asked.

“Wife, did you just-”

“I just want to ask you one question: who else but me?”

“Me! It must be me!” He quickly agreed to ride, can’t wait to go home and ride!

Not far away, Old Mai, who was still suffering from a burnt foot, weakly called out in his heart, is there no one who cares about him?

Old Mai had a terrible meal, not only was his self-esteem damaged, but Boss Qian had also made him doubt his own IQ. In the end, Yu Minglang’s prank left him injured. After being burned, he stopped pretending to be a good bodyguard and sat under the tree, watching them silently, seemingly contemplating his next move.

After the meal, Liumei wanted to go back and check on her weird family, but Yu Minglang held her back, threatening to break her legs if she dared to go!

The fishing spot was beautiful and cool, so Xiao Qian asked Yu Minglang to buy a deck of poker cards and used the excuse of cooling off to keep everyone there.

Xiao Qian was playing Landlord Game with Shuixian and Liumei, while Yu Minglang was leaning against a tree with a grass stalk in his mouth, watching Xiao Qian playing cards.

Liumei’s bag was next to Xiao Qian and Shuixian’s bags under the tree. Her phone rang in the bag, but she didn’t notice it since she was focused on the card game.

Yu Minglang took out Liumei’s phone and saw Ma Lu’s name flashing on the screen.

He pressed the answer button, and Ma Lu’s angry voice came through from the other end.

“Yu Liumei, what do you mean?”

Yu Minglang remained silent.

“My parents are old, how can you just leave them in the shopping mall? What were you thinking?!”

With each question, Yu Minglang’s eyes narrowed.

He knew about Xiao Qian calling Liumei to come back.

A thoughtful man would ask what had happened at the woman’s home rather than accusing Liumei right away.

“I’ve told you so many times, my parents worked hard all their lives. They finally came to the city for a visit, and you treated them like this! Yu Liumei, speak up!”

Dissatisfied with the silence on the other end, Ma Lu pressed for an answer.

“Liumei doesn’t have time right now, I’m her brother. Liumei’s grandmother is sick and needs 200,000 for hospitalization. Can you lend us some money?”

Liumei’s grandmother had passed away half a year ago.

After Yu Minglang spoke, there was silence on the other end of the phone.

“I’ll discuss it with others and call Liumei back later.”

With just that one sentence, Ma Lu hung up the phone immediately, afraid that Yu Minglang might ask for money if they continued talking.

Yu Minglang smirked, he wanted to marry their daughter from the Old Yu family? Keep dreaming!

Deleting the call history, Yu Minglang decided not to tell Liumei about this.

Xiao Qian had been winning her card games, and only she had a direct view of Yu Minglang’s actions, as the other two players had their backs facing him. She could not hear what Yu Minglang said, but she could guess who had called.

Nicely done. Xiao Qian mouthed to Yu Minglang.

Of course! Yu Minglang mouthed back.

Without the approval of the brilliant couple, no one should think of taking away the tender little cabbage from the Old Yu family!
