Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss - Chapter 380

Chapter 380: Chapter 354: Ironmouth’s Divine Calculation (Thanks to Hua Piao Ling’s He Shi Bi for the update)

Xiao Qian’s dark cooking talent was discovered by everyone on this day, without any reservation.

Although she pretended to be calm, Boss Qian’s heart was also collapsing at this moment. In order to make up for her mistake, she decided to show her talents in other areas after leaving the kitchen, and wash away the impression of being a kitchen idiot.

Mother Yu never thought that Xiao Qian could cook glutinous rice balls into such a shocking effect. To be honest, she had lived for half her life, and this was the first time she had seen it. What an eye opener!

“Xiao Qian, don’t take it to heart. Not being able to cook is not such a big problem.” Mother Yu tried to find something to say, to comfort Xiao Qian.

Because she noticed that Xiao Qian seemed to really care about this matter.

She came out of the kitchen with a serious expression on her face.

“Mom, you didn’t say that to me before, you even complained that I can’t cook.” Yu Mingxi felt wronged.

“Can you find a man like your younger brother? Xiao Qian can’t cook, but Youngest can, isn’t that enough?”

Mother Yu originally wanted to comfort Xiao Qian’s heart, but when she said this, Yu Mingxi’s face turned bad instantly. Xiao Qian could even feel that at the moment Mother Yu spoke, Yu Mingxi seemed to have changed her soul.

The psychologist’s intuition is always particularly accurate. If Yu Mingxi showed the sunny side before, after talking about choosing a spouse, she immediately switched to another side.

Yu Mingxi reluctantly pulled up the comers of her mouth, “Yes, I should find a man like Youngest, but I can’t find one.”

What’s this situation? Love for her younger brother? Xiao Qian thought about it, but that’s not right. Although Yu Mingxi had a good relationship with Yu Minglang, it was definitely not the kind of twisted affection. Besides, based on her judgment of Yu Mingxi, the type of man she liked shouldn’t be like Yu Minglang.

That is to say, in Yu Mingxi’s words, “a man like Yu Minglang” does not represent an individual, but a specific group of people.

Xiao Qian felt that she seemed not too far from the truth, as if she could glimpse the edge of the reason why Yu Mingxi was under great pressure. However, when Xiao Qian was about to explore further, Yu Mingxi returned to her normal state.

When she wanted to take another glimpse, she couldn’t feel it anymore.

Mother Yu changed the subject and Xiao Qian occasionally joined in, but as Xiao Qian expected, Yu Mingxi was a person with a strong sense of self-protection. Although she appeared to be bold and straightforward like a boy, she was careful.

She didn’t say anything she shouldn’t, or reveal her emotions, and she didn’t get any valuable information.

Yu Minglang and Big Brother Yu worked together to cook up two small dishes. Yu Mingxi was dragged away to drink, and Mother Yu took the opportunity to pull Xiao Qian into the small room to speak privately.

“Did you ask?”

“Yes, she said she dreamed of becoming a giant and imprisoning a colorful snake in a bottle. What does this mean?”

“Uh… a snake again.”

Recently, many people have been having this kind of dream. Xiao Qian felt that she could set up a stall on the overpass and do fortune telling without charging much.

“Aunt, have you and Uncle given any special requirements for Xiao Xi’s choice of spouse? For example, asking her to find someone with certain conditions, or a match in social status?”

Xiao Qian had never encountered this situation before either—turning into a giant and locking up a snake?

“Not really. Her father and I have always been open-minded, and we don’t interfere with our children’s marriages. Oh, we interfered with Second Brother’s—that was an obvious mismatch… Besides that, we really haven’t instilled any specific ideas in our children. As long as they’re happy.”

Although the Yu family parents come from a good family background, they have gone through a special period and suffered a lot because of their family background. Mother Yu almost couldn’t marry Father Yu because of her family status and also suffered a lot, so on the issue of their children’s choice of partners, she advocates not looking at family background, and as long as they have good character, it’s fine.

Xiao Qian was puzzled. If it wasn’t a problem with family upbringing, how could this situation have arisen?

Dong Yi had a dream of being sprayed with water by a snake, which already represented a certain degree of repression. Yu Mingxi’s situation was even more severe: turning herself into a giant and locking up the snake…

“Xiao Qian, is this a good or a bad thing?”

“In psychology, snakes have many meanings. They can represent the male organ, poisonous snakes represent injury and hatred, snakes can also represent cold-bloodedness or evil. However, snakes can also be the embodiment of wisdom and the excessive doting of parents. I think the last point can be ruled out.”

The Yu family’s parents are by no means excessively doting on their children. Judging from Yu Mingxi’s current state, the pressure does not come from there.

Her locking up the snake may be her attempt to control something, and this thing brings her pressure, seemingly in the emotional aspect.

“Based on the current situation, I still can’t judge exactly what’s going on with her, but for her insomnia, I can help her through regular phone hypnosis. As for the rest, I still need to observe further.”

“Speaking of snakes, I just remembered, they’re really scary. I’m scared of them, but I find that Xiao Panpan is even more scared than me.” Mother Yu said to Xiao Qian.

Don’t they say that people are bom as a blank slate? Children who haven’t seen such things shouldn’t feel fear, in theory.

But Mother Yu found that Panpan particularly disliked snake-shaped toys. When she saw pictures of snakes, she would turn her head away. She had been like this since she was very young. Mother Yu also noticed that the Twins in Yu Mingli’s family were not afraid. They liked to look at pictures of snakes from an early age, and they even laughed when they saw snakes at the zoo before they could even talk.

“Fear of snakes is an evolutionary adaptation from primitive society. I’ve seen many patients with snake phobia. Many of them have never seen a snake. Our ancestors found it difficult to detect cold-blooded animals like snakes in primitive society, so this unknown fear was preserved during the evolution process. If you show normal babies pictures of snakes, they won’t feel scared. But if they’re like Panpan, who has been hurt, the feeling of awakening the unknown fear will be triggered, and the brain will prioritize processing fearful things over others.”

Mother Yu nodded repeatedly, “I see now, your talent is all focused on professional courses, so your brain also prioritizes processing cooking.”

As expected from the Chief Physician, her ability to infer from one instance is quite impressive. Xiao Qian only told her one thing, and she figured out Xiao Qian’s weird reaction in the kitchen.

In the face of the cooking skill that she could not master, Boss Qian also preserved the human instinct of fear. Her brain prioritized the processing of cooking to the extent that it treated what seemed like a simple matter to outsiders as a big deal, seriously making those around her unable to resist researching it along with her.

Xiao Qian was speechless. Future mother-in-law, you’re so good at reasoning, does your spouse know?
