Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss - Chapter 390

Chapter 390: Chapter 364: High Regard for Xiao Qiang (Thanks to Anitaqing for the addition of Langyuan Fairy Flowers)

“Mom, what do you think would happen if I treated Second Brother’s wife the way Aunt treated you back then?”

Mother Yu pressed hard with her hand, causing Yu Mingxi to cry out in pain.

“Ah… take it easy! I’m just joking, I can’t really do that anyway.”

Only then did Mother Yu let go of her hand.

“You better not be looking for trouble. Xiao Qian is a good child, why would you want to bully her? Besides, Xiao Qian is so smart, you can’t gain any advantage by trying to compete with her. Give your brother some peace, will you?”

“I’m just asking casually. I wouldn’t really bully her – besides, I’m still counting on her to hypnotize me. You know what? When she hypnotizes people, her voice can really put me to sleep, it’s quite amazing.”

Those who have never experienced hypnosis, like Yu Mingxi, will feel its effects as magical and amazing when they do.

“That’s true, Xiao Qian’s expertise in this area has been praised by my classmates, who say she will definitely pursue a graduate degree, and they want to personally guide her.”

Mother Yu was quite proud, her daughter-in-law’s excellence reflected well on her as well.

“Your classmate… is it that university professor, the serious old lady who gives people nicknames?”

“Yes, that’s your Auntie Liu. Since Xiao Qian got accepted to her university, Auntie Liu has been paying extra attention to her. She says Xiao Qian is a rare talent, and will definitely become a great doctor in the future.”

Yu Mingxi stood up, shaking her head, feeling that the relaxed feeling she had after being hypnotized by Xiao Qian was much better than the relaxation she felt after being pressed by her mother.

Mother Yu’s massage was also impressive, but the feeling of relaxation from outside to inside was not as good as the treatment from Xiao Qian that helped relax the body and mind from the inside out.

“You just get along with your good daughter-in-law, the future super doctor, I have to go. I have a performance far away tomorrow. Please prepare some medicine for mosquito bites for me.”

One second Mother Yu was immersed in chatting with her daughter, and the next second she was informed that her daughter would be leaving again. Her heart instantly turned cold, and she could only look at her daughter in surprise.

“Why don’t you stay a few more days? You just got back…”

Life isn’t easy, mom. This is the kind of job your daughter does.”

“Nonsense! You applied for this job yourself. Your agent can’t possibly cram all these remote areas onto your schedule. Xiao Xi, what on earth is going on with you? Why don’t you just talk to your mother and stop torturing yourself like this!”

Seeing her mother worried, Yu Mingxi lowered her eyes, hiding her sadness, and in just two seconds, patted her mother on the shoulder.

“I’m fine, I’ve always been fine, don’t worry.”

Every time she asked, she would say she was fine, but a mother’s intuition told her that what her daughter said and how she acted were all just pretenses. It seemed that something was weighing heavily on her daughter’s heart.

“Mom, don’t act like I’m about to be sacrificed or something. I’ve told you I’m fine, I know what I’m doing and who I am. I won’t be like Aunt, so don’t worry.” It was precisely because she didn’t want to be like her aunt that she had chosen the hardest path for herself.

You re worrying me to death…” Mother Yu wiped the corner of her eyes. There were a thousand words in her heart, but her daughter wouldn’t tell her anything, so her own speculation was useless.

She didn’t know when her daughter, who used to tell her everything, had changed.

“Why worry? Your son’s wife is so good that she should be able to replace me in your heart. Just treat her like me, and if one day I’m gone -”

“Pah! What nonsense are you talking about! How dangerous can your singing job be?” Mother Yu’s heart felt cold when she heard her daughter say this.

“I’m just saying, don’t take it so seriously… Alright, alright, I have to go, or I’ll be late to catch my ride.”

“I’ll ask your brother to come and drive you!”

“No need, Hai Zhao is waiting for me, I’ll ride with him.”

Mother Yu watched her daughter hurry off, her heart feeling an indescribable sadness. She wanted to put on her coat and walk her downstairs, but Yu Mingxi pushed her back into the room and closed the door with a bang, separating the once close mother and daughter into two different worlds.

Mother Yu stood upstairs, watching her daughter get into Hai Zhao’s car and leave, feeling bittersweet. She called Yu Minglang, hoping that he would have a chance to talk to Xiao Xi and find out what was going on with her.

But Yu Minglang’s phone was unreachable.

“There’s no signal in here.” Yu Minglang pulled out his phone and looked at the screen for a signal.

Xiao Qian nodded with a dark face, her phone had no signal either.

Yu Minglang looked at her suspiciously. Why did he feel that Xiao Mei had been in a bad mood from the beginning?

Coming to such a place, Xiao Qian really couldn’t control herself. She glared resentfully at the man who caused trouble but didn’t even know it!

Yu Minglang was particularly clueless about feelings. When Xiao Qian got into his car after leaving the hospital, carrying Xiao Panpan in her arms, he thought he would send the child to her mother and then take her to see the house alone. The two had just gotten engaged in the morning, and it was his birthday. If Yu Minglang had a little sense, he would know he should spend time alone with Xiao Qian.

And then, they could do anything they wanted.

As it turned out, he let Xiao Qian lead the child and didn’t even mention taking the child to her mother.

Xiao Qian was anxious inside but couldn’t show it. After all, she was a girl, and if she was too deliberate, it would not be good for Xiao Qiang to find out.

Fortunately, halfway through the drive, Second Brother Yu called and arranged a meeting place to hand over the child.

Xiao Qian didn’t expect Second Brother Yu to come out so quickly. It seemed that he and Da Yi had broken up again. If there was no external intervention, this couple would probably end up like this.

Although Xiao Qian felt a little regretful, Da Yi and Second Brother Yu were both adults, and if they had no intentions, she as an outsider, could only do so much.

After handing Xiao Panpan to Second Brother, Yu Minglang looked deep into Xiao Qian’s eyes and said, “Finally, we can be alone for a while.”

That look made Xiao Qian’s heart race.

He must have come to his senses, being alone together…

As it turned out, Xiao Qian was too naive.

When Yu Minglang parked the car on the side of the road, and when he mysteriously said to Xiao Qian, “Wait for me, I’ll be back soon,” Xiao Qian’s gaze was still on the pharmacy by the roadside.

She even thought that if Yu Minglang came out with a box of ‘that’ and then gave her a mischievous wink, dragged her into their new home, and then did this and that, what kind of expression, tone, and attitude should she use to be both elegant and not affectations, natural without being proactive but also not refusing? There was just one principle, not to let Yu Minglang think she was a bold woman but also not to refuse the bold things he wanted to do to her…

But as it turned out, she was too naive and had overestimated Yu Xiaoqiang’s emotional quotient!
