Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 862: Chapter 836: The Stone-Faced Second Brother Stands Out

There aren’t many things that can make my dear Qian feel troubled like this.

”Xiaoqiang, what would you do if someone intentionally went against you?”

”I’d beat them up.”

His way of solving problems is indeed straightforward and effective.

”What I mean is, if you open a shop and a customer comes in pretending to buy things but then spreads rumors about your shop, what would you do?”

”Still beat them up, keep going until they can’t cause trouble anymore.”

”...Alright, pretend I didn’t ask.”

Why was she naive enough to ask this violent guy?

”Qian, did someone give you a hard time? Or is someone trying to bully you? I’ll go puncture their car tires while wearing a mask.”

”Puncture, puncture, puncture! That’s all you know! I’m telling you, I really dislike using violence to solve problems. I believe—”

”Only people who lack the ability to solve problems decently would resort to admiring violence.” Yu Minglang almost memorized her life creed.

Qian nodded, that’s exactly what she meant!

”But some people are naturally base, if you don’t deal with them, they won’t behave. Falling behind means getting beaten up; it’s just a matter of time.”

”The problem is that beating them up doesn’t work now. The teacher came this afternoon and told me about this thing...”

Qian recounted the change in competition rules as explained by Mr Liu, and after Yu Minglang heard it, his first reaction was to laugh.

”Why are you laughing?” Qian was worrying.

”I’m laughing because isn’t this like walking alongside the river without your shoes getting wet? Did you consider this when you were flaunting your abilities? Back then, were you confident accepting this contest, but now you realize it’s troubling?”

Qian was embarrassed and infuriated.

How could she have known this thing included rule changes!

The similar competitions she participated in both domestically and abroad in her past life didn’t have this segment, why didn’t she encounter this before?

Could it really be that her excessive pride after rebirth displeased the heavens, leading to rule changes in the competition?

In short, it seemed likely that Qian would suffer a setback this time.

But Yu Minglang’s annoying expression at the moment was still displeasing to her.

”Yu, do you want to sleep on the floor? My husband isn’t siding with me, what’s with the sarcastic remarks? I just can’t stand you stinky men who can only criticize after everything is over!”

Originally, Yu Minglang intended for Qian to learn a lesson and not easily promise such things in the future. But then he thought clipping his wings wasn’t his wife’s style. So, he changed his tone to a loyal dog face, cheerfully approaching to hug her.

”Alright, alright, I apologize. Come here, let me rub your chest to calm you down~”

Qian slapped his hand away, ”Stop taking advantage of me! I’m upset!”

He persistently pursued, wrapping her completely in his lap.

”What’s there to be worried about? Let them scheme if they want. In the end, my wife will pull out her charlatan attribute and confuse everyone. Even if your virtual patient is sent by the other party to sabotage and won’t give you high scores, the entire process is live-streamed, everyone is watching. He’s dumb, but are the judges all dumb too? Even if a few judges are bribed, are all the national audience dumb as well?”

A phrase woke her from a dream, Qian slapped her forehead.

”Yeah, why didn’t I think of that!”

She was only worried about how to handle the unwelcome virtual patient with the changed rules, forgetting about the live broadcast.

”If I make it to the last day of the finals, that means I’m already within the top 6. Even if they want to eliminate me and won’t give me a trophy, it doesn’t matter. The audience will certainly remember me, so even if the judges are unfair, I won’t worry.”

Qian’s eyes brightened, actually, that would be even better.

Then use Bai Jin to leverage the news media to create a buzz, focusing on the doctor-patient relationship, conducting interviews from both the doctor’s and patient’s perspectives. This would achieve prominence equal to the competition, and the fame of many crownless kings often surpasses that of the top winners.

Seeing her thinking, Xiaoqiang quietly smiled at her, still pondering.

”Darling, have you gained weight recently?”

”No, it’s been quite stable.” In a good mood, she even found him pleasing to the eye, her tone soft.

”Huh, isn’t there a saying that big-breasted women are brainless? I see you’re losing your mind, but your chest isn’t getting bigger, haha!”

His laughter barely fell before killing intent appeared.

”I don’t have a big chest, but I can give you a big bump on your head, believe it? Don’t run, come back!”

After resolving her troubling matter, Qian was in a good mood, and life’s pleasures revealed themselves. She suggested going for a walk to the night market to eat street food. Xiaoqiang, who had been clawed for joking around earlier, didn’t dare refuse her suggestion and followed her lead.

The two put on simple couple T-shirts and strolled under the bright evening lights.

The night market is only a ten-minute journey from the housing complex, offering a variety of snacks.

”I remember you didn’t seem to like eating these before.” Yu Minglang queued to buy Qian a bowl of fried stinky tofu, she fed him using a toothpick.

”I didn’t like it before, but now I quite enjoy it.”

Qian noticed her lifestyle had changed a bit compared to before. In her past life, she was the type of woman who seldom focused on life, wholly devoted to her career. Whether eating or dressing, whatever was expensive would do; after all, she wasn’t short of money.

”Is it because of my charm? But I don’t like stinky tofu either...” Yu Minglang silently turned away his face, refusing Qian’s feeding again.

”It has a little to do with you, but not much, it’s because of them.”

”Him? With them? How many men?!” Xiaoqiang was sharp about this, immediately turning his head, but before he could unleash his jealousy, Qian mischievously stuffed another piece of stinky tofu into his mouth.

”She, women. I’m talking about Shi Touyu and the others in freshman year.”

Having more contact with her buddies, Qian gradually started to learn to enjoy the mundane details of this fiery life like ordinary people, realizing that simplicity is the true essence.

”Hey, isn’t that—” Qian squinted, she seemed to see someone familiar in the queue waiting for grilled squid.

Upon hearing this, Yu Minglang followed her gaze, also exclaiming.

”Second Brother came here again?”

”Guessing it’s because Da Yi wanted some... A job like Second Brother’s is wonderful, so much free time when not flying.”

Qian remembered Da Yi called her in the morning asking if she needed help organizing data, Qian directly told her no, and Da Yi went to the zoo with Second Brother and the child.

Seems like they played too much tiring themselves out, now Second Brother is out buying takeout for them.

A group of foodies queued for super delicious jumbo grilled squid, and Second Brother stood out with his tall figure.

”Do you think Second Brother looks a lot like you?” Qian stood from this angle looking at Second Brother’s profile, speaking her mind.

”We’re from the same factory, how can we not look alike? If Big Brother lost tens of pounds, he’d look like us too.”

The couple walked towards Second Brother intending to snag two jumbo squids from him, the queue was too long. Just before they reached him, suddenly a plump woman dashed behind Second Brother and directly hugged him!
