Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 726: Chapter 700: Must Marry Brother Fu Gui

Father Liao is helping Jia Xiufang with her knitting, with Father Liao holding up the yarn while Jia Xiufang winds it into a ball. They watch as their steady eldest son, Fugui, paces around the room like a cat on hot bricks.

Jia Xiufang nudges Father Liao, “What’s up with Fugui?”

“I don’t know.”

“Does he have a girlfriend?” Jia Xiufang perks up at the mention of this.

“This morning, Qian’er’s mother-in-law called me. She said they’ve found a few suitable girls. The girls are really good, all handpicked from the hospital. Some were chosen from Qian’er’s mother-in-law’s hospital, and others from Qian’er’s eldest sister-in-law’s hospital. Fugui’s marriage needs to be settled soon, if we wait a few more years… he might have to marry a divorcee.”

Father Liao glanced at his wife nonchalantly, “As long as he can find someone, even with a child, that’s fine.”

...

For Comrade Fugui’s marriage, his parents’ requirements have been whittled down to just finding someone so he won’t remain a bachelor.

“I’ll call Qian’er later and ask if there’s anyone suitable among her classmates. This is really worrying.”

Pondering over the marriage issue of an older single man is something every parent would do. Comrade Fugui, who has been well educated and stayed in school for a long time, has been working for two years. Now, he is regarded by his parents as an older single man, almost reaching the brink of not being able to find a wife.

Father Liao sees his eldest son, after a couple of laps around the room, pouring his precious tea into a bag, and then his grasping hand is reaching for his prized possession—

“Son, what are you doing with that?” That’s the Golden Chrysanthemum King. One bud, when brewed, can fill a whole teapot. A whole chrysanthemum field might only produce a few of these buds. Someone gave him a box, he’s already given half to Xiaoqian. Now his stupid son is taking the other half.

“Dad, you’re a man. Drinking something so floral isn’t good.” He figured he would give it to a soft adoring girl, in the hopes of lifting her spirit~

“…” Father Liao couldn’t help but give Jia Xiufang a look, “Perhaps we don’t need to worry about our son’s lifetime issue.”

From the sound of it, he’s planning to give it to a woman!

Boss Qian feels like she has accomplished something great.

Not only did she put the Ma Family in place today, but she also brainwashed Liu Mei, irritated Old Mai, and inferred from Fugui’s tone that he does care about Liu Mei. Her mood is greatly improved by deriving pleasure from bullying those around her.

Looking up to see her attractive simpleton of a younger sister, Liu Mei, who really wants to know what Xiaoqian said to Fugui, was reluctant to ask, greatly pleased Boss Qian.

“Liu Mei, did the old fortune-teller…”

“She’s my master!”

“Alright, did your master say that you have to marry Fugui, or that you ought to marry Fugui?”

Yu Minglang and Shuixian almost laughed out loud, hey, was your slip of the tongue intentional?

Everyone clearly heard the mistake, but someone didn’t catch it, and that person was Liu Mei, who dutifully followed up on Xiaoqian’s prompting.

“My master said that I should get married this year. She didn’t say I have to marry Fugui. There is some talk about Megrez Star or something…wait a minute!! Brother Fugui?!”

Her face went red instantly, Oh! How could she say Brother Fugui’s name?

“Oh~~ Brother Fugui!” Xiaoqian and the others prolonged the sound, which made Liu Mei’s face grow redder.

“Sister-in-law, you guys gotta stop teasing me! I got a boyfriend, you know, you can’t joke about this!”

“How is this a joke? Considering that your boyfriend doesn’t even mention it, and when he does it makes me angry. Isn’t anyone better than him? I think Fugui is quite good!”

Yu Minglang spoke straightforwardly and succinctly. When he finished, both Xiaoqian and Shuixian nodded.

“Yeah, my stepbrother is quite a good person. If you marry him, my mom would be your mother-in-law and you wouldn’t have to deal with the mother-in-law issues. You mentioned Megrez Star? Isn’t Fugui, with his doctoral degree, a perfect match?”

Xiaoqian and Yu Minglang stood on the same ground. If they were to compete in literature, besides Xiaoqian, it would be Fugui. Strictly speaking, Xiaoqian was even less literary than Fugui, as Xiaoqian got caught up in the pursuit of money after finishing her PhD.

It’s not the same for Fugui, apart from being a forensic official, he also worked as a graduate tutor later. He’s a genuine intellectual and has cultivated many talented professionals in forensic psychiatric evaluation.

The more these people made a fuss, the more embarrassed and nervous Liu Mei felt. She believed that they were taking the joke a bit too far. How could they make fun of honest Brother Fugui like that?

“If you guys keep doing this, I’ll get angry! What do you take Brother Fugui for? He kindly brought us food and you guys just arbitrarily pair him up?”

“How is it arbitrary? He brings us food and we introduce him to a good wife. Isn’t that great?”

“Indeed, that lucky bastard. He managed to win over my mother-in-law and younger brother-in-law, which is why I didn’t pick fault with him. If anyone else dared to pursue my sister, they’d get a beating from me – and that Ma Lu, I’ll find an opportunity to deal with him sooner or later.” @@novelbin@@

Yu Minglang was still holding a grudge.

To be fair, he was busy working all year round, although he’d visit his mother-in-law and younger brother-in-law whenever he had time, his energy was limited. Fugui actually played the role of a son these past two years, so Yu Minglang wouldn’t pick faults with him, especially when he compared Fugui to Ma Lu, who was such a scumbag. Fugui suddenly seemed adorable.

“I can’t argue with you guys, I’m leaving!” Liu Mei, with a flushed face, ran off.

“Xiaoqian, shouldn’t we go after her?” Shuixian asked Xiaoqian.

“Haste makes waste, this is enough for now.” Xiaoqian exuded confidence. Judging from Liu Mei’s behaviour, it didn’t look like she disliked Fugui. Otherwise, being a straightforward person, she would definitely have gone along with everyone and made a few jokes.

The fact that she could blush, and even get angry, indicating a girlish attitude, meant there might be hope for Fugui.

Xiaoqian began to look forward to it. If Fugui is assertive and macho, Liu Mei’s boyfriend might have to be replaced tomorrow!

The next day, Xiaoqian was still asleep, Yu Minglang went to buy breakfast for Xiaoqian, Shuixian and Liu Mei, who had just returned from morning exercise, were having breakfast. Halfway through, someone knocked at the door.

“I’ll go and see, it might be my brother.” Liu Mei went over to open the door.

There was a man standing outside carrying several packages, but it wasn’t Yu Minglang.

“Ah, it’s Brother Fugui!”

Liu Mei didn’t expect to see Fugui at the door and she was slightly surprised. She knew that Fugui would come yesterday, but she didn’t expect him to come so early, first thing in the morning!

Her sister-in-law hasn’t even gotten up yet.

Fugui immediately smelled it, a familiar scent of lemon!

“I came to see Xiaoqian.”

“Sister-in-law is not at home.”

“Then I’ll just find you!”

As soon as he said it, he regretted it.

Fugui really wanted to slap himself twice. Why didn’t his brain filter his speech? Even though he was thinking it, he shouldn’t have been so direct. He should’ve been more indirect to ease the situation. Now it was awkward.

Luckily, Liu Mei’s IQ was in full working order, she didn’t say “What are you looking for me for?” which would have made the situation even more awkward. Instead, she stepped aside to let Fugui in with his packages. But because of the joke her sister-in-law made yesterday, Liu Mei felt embarrassed looking at Fugui, as if something was off.
