Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 569: Chapter 543: Bad Guy and Jealousy

If she had known that buying a watermelon would lead to meeting an old acquaintance, Qian definitely wouldn’t have entered this supermarket. She could never forget the surprised expressions Yu Minglang and Ye Xiaoyu had when they pointed at each other.

How to describe her feelings at this moment? Qian felt more uncomfortable than finding sand in her rice, like cracking an egg into a bowl and everything’s fine, until the last one is rotten.

And then you have to throw away the whole bowl of eggs. What a waste.

The excitement of seeing Yu Minglang just now, the lover’s reunion that seemed inevitable, was all replaced by high alert.

Yu Minglang didn’t yet realize that Qian was already full of jealousy. He pointed at Ye Xiaoyu, and Ye Xiaoyu pointed back at him. Then they both simultaneously reached out to high-five each other as they did back in school days after playing basketball.

Qian quickly grabbed a muskmelon with her left hand and stuffed it into Yu Minglang’s hand, and with her right hand, she subtly but naturally pulled Yu Minglang backward, successfully separating him from Ye Xiaoyu. Then she quickly grabbed a spiky cucumber and stuffed it into Ye Xiaoyu’s hand while Ye Xiaoyu looked surprised.

”Do you know my fiancé Yu Minglang?” Qian said, emphasizing the word fiancé very clearly.

A woman’s sixth sense in identifying a rival surpasses that of Sherlock Holmes!

Just from Ye Xiaoyu’s surprised look, she sensed something different.

”Fiancé?” Ye Xiaoyu seemed very surprised.

”Mei, do you know Xiaoyu?” Yu Minglang was the only one unaware of the situation; two women were already engaging in a silent battle with their eyes, and he was still lost in the joy of meeting an old friend in a foreign place.

”She’s a broadcaster at a radio station, very famous.”

Before Qian appeared under the name Meiwei, Ye Xiaoyu’s show was consistently at the top of radio ratings and very popular.

She hosted a comedy show where she read funny stories, especially loved by drivers, who nicknamed her ”Rain God” because her sweet voice matched the humorous show, and she didn’t look bad either. Ye Xiaoyu often appeared at major public events as a guest host.

Many people believe that people with nice voices do not look good, but Ye Xiaoyu’s sweet voice was only matched by a sweeter appearance, and combined with a cheerful, talkative, humorous personality, she had an excellent reputation at the radio station.

However, after Meiwei’s emergence, the ratings of ”Mind’s Password” rose steadily, impacting Ye Xiaoyu’s midday comedy show.

Even though they weren’t in the same time slot and their shows were completely different types, colleagues and managers at the station always compared the two intentionally or unintentionally.

Both beautiful with distinct personalities, one being sweet and cheerful, the other cool and deep. Beautiful women often have all sorts of rumors surrounding them.

Qian didn’t care about such things at all. She was just brought in by a teacher for an internship to pass the time and planned to leave afterward. Others thought working at the radio station was great, but she didn’t care for it. She never participated in any activities or meetings organized by the station; sometimes, the program director or leaders had to call her to notify her of things.

Qian once heard from the director that colleagues often compared her with Ye Xiaoyu, saying that Qian’s arrival threatened Rain God’s leading position. Allegedly, Rain God felt a sense of crisis.

Qian laughed it off as a joke. What these people were scheming for was just scenery she passed by on her journey. She was merely a passerby.

But at this moment, seeing Ye Xiaoyu’s unusual interaction with Yu Minglang, Qian raised her guard.

Ye Xiaoyu didn’t expect that after not seeing Yu Minglang for years, he would already have someone by his side, and it was none other than Meiwei who was overshadowing her at the station. Though she was still her usual bubbly self on the surface, a hint of melancholy slipped out. Qian caught it all.

Ordinarily perceptive, Yu Minglang didn’t notice anything wrong this time, still not catching on to the undercurrents.

”Yeah, this is my fiancée, Chen Xiaoqian. Xiaoyu, have you gotten married?” To him, this was just an old classmate, a buddy from the basketball team back in the day.

”I don’t even have a boyfriend, not as lucky as you...” Ye Xiaoyu glanced at Yu Minglang and then at Qian, the momentary melancholy replaced by her signature smile. Colleagues at the station often said she was a woman who loved to smile, many men liked her because they thought she was sincere, forever sunny, innocent, and genuine.

”Meiwei, do you want some watermelon? I can let you have this one. Back in the days when I played ball with Minglang, he often treated me to watermelons, so think of this as repayment.” Ye Xiaoyu said generously.

Yu Minglang didn’t think much about it, knowing his Mei liked to eat watermelon after doing things. He reached out to take it, but Qian pinched his waist, smiling sweetly.

”You keep it, after all, it’s not often that old classmates meet, especially since it’s uncertain whether you’ll be able to see each other again in different cities. Anyway, he’s with me, I’ll just buy one whenever I want; darling, pick some muskmelons instead, I’m tired of watermelon, let’s have something different!” Qian said the last sentence to Yu Minglang.

Oh my! She called him darling!

Xiaoqiang was almost overjoyed, holding a bag as he started packing.

Qian confidently stared at Ye Xiaoyu, who was nearly unable to keep smiling, as if to say, flaunting what? Using the naïve deeds of my man’s youth to show off in front of me?

Not just a melon, even that cucumber that only she had used was engraved for an eternity, exclusive to Chen Xiaoqian. Flaunt you big-headed fool!

Yu Minglang finished his shopping, seeing his old classmate still standing at the fruit stand, looking at him with a complex expression. He asked puzzledly, ”Aren’t you buying any more?”

”No need, you guys go ahead, I’ll take my leave now.” She couldn’t stay any longer, as Ye Xiaoyu felt her pent-up temper was about to burst.

The cheerful girl image she had maintained in front of everyone for so long could not be shattered.

As soon as she left, Qian’s face turned gloomy.

Yu Minglang, completely clueless about the drama between the two women in such a short time, looked at the leftover watermelon and asked Qian.

”Mei, do you still want watermelon, let’s just get it together.”

”Haven’t you bought enough?” With that, she threw the bag into his arms and walked out with a dark face.

Yu Minglang didn’t know what was wrong with her, quickly went to pay, and chased after her.

”Mei, what’s wrong with you?” In front of the car, Yu Minglang held her.

Qian forced a grin, baring her teeth at him, ”Xiaoyu, you played basketball with a girl?”

Who the hell could have guessed Xiaoyu was a girl! She always thought it was a guy!

”I wouldn’t have remembered if you hadn’t mentioned it, she was a girl! You don’t know, back in high school, she looked nothing like she does now, hair was short, like a tomboy, I never even thought of her as a girl, she truly changed quite a bit since then.”

”Hehe... so, you skipped class in Grade 12 to play ball with a girl every day, and even bought her watermelon! Last night, you even dreamed about her?!”

”At that time, she was the only one who could play with me, Hai Zhao and the others couldn’t come out due to bad grades, and about the watermelon I don’t even remember, when did I ever buy her watermelon? The dream was—”

He wanted to say, last night’s dream not only included Ye Xiaoyu but also many other high school classmates. Probably because the college entrance exam season was approaching, which made him dream of those high school days.

But Qian already had no patience to listen to any explanations.

Wonderful, Yu Minglang, truly wonderful!
