Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Let You Play to Your Heart’s Content

There’s no reasoning with the domineering CEO Yu Minglang.

The expression on Yu Minglang’s face clearly said, ”If you don’t talk, I’ll tell your mom!”

Qian’s eyes darted, just about to blurt out some random place, when she heard that big bully whisper, ”If I find out you’re lying about the address, I’ll go to your house and use a slingshot to break your windows!”

Qian squinted her eyes, jotting it down in a little notebook. Just you wait, prancing around like that, one day you’ll be on your knees singing ’Conquered’!

”Villa No. 8.”

Her mischievous brother, ever since coming here, used the excuse of headaches to avoid going out. It’s obvious he used the money Qian gave him for internet.

Seeing Yu Minglang’s mischievous grin, Qian maliciously added,

”I sleep in the same room with my mom.”

Haha, go ahead, keep hitting their windows if you dare!

Yu Minglang glanced at her, you little brat!

Jia Xiufang hadn’t noticed the undercurrent between them; this brief exchange happened within minutes.

Meanwhile, Qiao Zhen, the secretary waiting for the young boss, noticed something was up and gave a few internal clicks of the tongue, full of playful mischief.

Thank goodness, the young boss is interested in women. This girl he’d seen before, no wonder he stepped in to help her a few times; he must’ve had his eye on her since then.

”Thank you, boss, for saving our girl multiple times. Here, take this water.” Jia Xiufang returned, full of gratitude on her face.

Yu Minglang accepted the water solemnly, stood up, and politely said to Jia Xiufang.

”Auntie, just call me Minglang. No need for ’boss’, it sounds distant.”

After that, he walked away with his men, despite being drenched, the aura of dominance couldn’t be concealed.

Jia Xiufang nodded repeatedly, complimenting, ”Look at that, people with education are indeed different.”

Qian wearily rubbed her temples.

Indeed, the guy’s standards are different; his goal is to snatch your daughter away! Her mom is so naive, to even thank that rascal!

In the evening, Qian rented a barbecue grill, bought meat and bamboo skewers from the market, and dragged her mother along to skewer the meat.

The restaurants near the tourist area have a unique trait; they earn enough in one season to last a year, bluntly speaking, they rip off customers.

Doing it yourself is way better, cheaper and tastier.

The mischievous Chen Zilong was pressed into hard labor by his sister, serving as a reluctant porter, looking glum. Away from the computer, he was listless, yawning repeatedly, uninterested in anything.

This is a teenager addicted to the internet, Qian couldn’t be bothered to manage him. For this kind of troublemaker, not sending him to those scientifically baseless shock therapy internet addiction schools is already being lenient.

”Sis, I won’t eat. I’ll go lie down; give me some money, I’ll buy instant noodles.”

Chen Zilong delivered the stuff to the beach, ready to sneak off to the internet café.

”Only after starting the fire, otherwise I won’t give you money.”

Qian’s words were something Chen Zilong still listened to.

Watching the mischievous boy fanning the fire diligently, Qian’s mind brewed with mischief.

How to mess with him a bit?

Chen Zilong felt a chill from behind while fanning the fire. He turned around suspiciously, only to see his sister smiling warmly at him.

So, was it just an illusion...

In the end, Chen Zilong stayed with Qian; the three of them sat on the beach, eating skewers and watching the sea.

The evening breeze blew, after a day of fun, as thoughts settled, Jia Xiufang spoke with concern.

”Dalong, I need to talk to you.”

”Hurry up, I have serious business to attend to after eating.” Chen Zilong’s mind was full of games.

Qian gave him a flick, ”Do you still want money?”

Chen Zilong quieted down.

”It’s about your dad and me, Dalong, I, I—” Jia Xiufang faltered to find the words, seeing this, Qian took the initiative.

”Chen Zilong, our mom and dad are getting divorced, whom will you go with?”

This question was straightforward; as soon as Qian spoke, Jia Xiufang got nervous, fearing her son would object. She didn’t expect her daughter to be so direct.

”Really or not?” Chen Zilong paused, his motion to bite a skewer halted.

”For real, between mom and dad, who do you choose?” Qian intently stared at Chen Zilong.

This question directly related to the mischievous kid’s position in his sister’s heart for the rest of his life. If he answered in a way that made Qian comfortable, she’d go easy on him; if not, she’d mess with him just like doing in their good-for-nothing dad!

”Yes, they should’ve done it long ago.”

Chen Zilong’s answer made Jia Xiufang gasp. How could her son say that?

”When he used to hit you, I wanted you two to divorce. What nonsense saying it’s for our sake, seeing you like that made me furious. How could you claim such nonsense was for my good?”

Chen Zilong’s words were harsh—typical of a rebellious teenage boy—but they showed he was siding with his mother.

Jia Xiufang instantly burst into tears.

She hadn’t realized her two kids thought this way. She thought they were unruly, yet she never imagined they had the most basic judgment capability in them.

”Chen Zilong, you better think this through. Mom’s not young anymore; she won’t be able to work much longer. If you choose to be with her, she might not have the money for your wedding.”

”Qian’er, I’ll work hard—” Jia Xiufang hastily explained, fearing her son wouldn’t choose to stay with her.

”Shut up!” Qian turned to her brother, ”Are you still with mom?”

”Chen Xiaoqian, don’t look down on people, do I really need mom to support me?”

”And if, in the future with mom, you can’t play online games, will you still stay with her?”

This... Chen Zilong drew in a sharp breath; this was a harsh blow.

”I-I’ll find a job myself!”

Faced with a choice between online games and his mom, he made a tough decision. He couldn’t give up on games, no matter what.

Qian pursed her lips, yet didn’t trap the kid, lucky him.

”Eat up.” She handed him two skewers, taking into account that this boy hadn’t lost his complete morals; she’d go easy on him.

In the evening, Chen Zilong went to the internet café, while Jia Xiufang and Qian shared a room, filled with worry.

”Qian’er, your brother, this way, is it okay? I heard there’s a school for treating internet addiction these days, though a bit pricey. Should we send him there; will he be done for at this rate?”

”Those schools use electroshock therapy, could kill someone, and leave psychological shadows, we can’t let him go.” Actually, Qian initially thought about paying for her brother to enjoy a bit of electroshock therapy.

But who would’ve thought the kid was lucky enough, as he retained some humanity at crucial moments.

”Then what? If I divorce your dad, we won’t have a man in the family. With his attitude, who could handle him?”

Immediately, Qian thought of Yu Minglang, instantly envisioning a scenario where Yu Minglang dealt powerful blows to the troublemaker Chen, immensely satisfying.

Wait, what was she thinking about? Get that self-proclaimed boyfriend out of her future blueprints!

”Qian’er, what’s wrong, suddenly smiling foolishly?”

Chen Xiaoqian gathered herself, ”Nothing, mom, I can handle my brother, but the methods are a bit unorthodox; can you bear the heartache?”

”You say, as long as it stops him from hanging out at internet cafés every day, anything goes. That place is full of shady youth from society; I’m afraid he’ll turn bad.”

Hasn’t he turned bad already? In her previous life, without money for internet, he’d done all kinds of bad things, fighting for brotherhood, almost sent to a correctional facility! Xiaoqian couldn’t divorce back then because too much trouble needed her financial intervention.

But now, Xiaoqian had already thought of the best solution for curing the troublemaker.

Fan of online games, are you? Sister will make sure you get your fill!
