Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 170: Chapter 169: Shun’s Cameo

No wonder Yu Minglang’s attitude changed. After Qian found out the truth, she wanted to rush to the counter and roll her eyes at that meddling sales clerk!

Who told you to be so ”thoughtful”!

Yu Minglang, that opportunist, immediately thought they were IT when he sent it. According to his logic, this thing must have surpassed the trial period.

Qian could even imagine that the next time they met, this guy would surely drag her into a bathroom and try to do what he couldn’t last time!

”Qian?” Yu Minglang asked when he didn’t get a response from Qian.

Without saying goodbye, Qian swiftly grabbed the phone and hung up.

On the other end, Yu Minglang heard the beeping sound. Was his dear Qian shy?

How cute...

”Shi Touyu, want to grab some skewers?” Qian asked Shi Yu.

Shi Yu turned her head away, facing the wall.

”I’m not home!”

Qian walked over and nudged her, ”Come on, we’re going to stay up late tonight, let’s eat something in advance.”

”Who’s staying up late? I’m not.”

”Then I’ll go by myself.”

”Let’s go! You heartless woman!”

”Dong Yi’s out, and I’m off for some skewers too. You stay in the dorm, and soon the big-mouthed monkey will float by~”

Shi Yu screamed and sat up, trembling as she pointed at Qian, who promptly dragged her up.

”Stop making a fuss, let’s go!”

The food stalls around the university are always the tastiest, especially at the busy night markets. Students come out to stroll, and around the entire university circumference, the combined business zones generate at least 200 million in consumption annually. Qian pondered whether to bring her mom here to do some small business.

The family’s house will be demolished soon, and troublesome relatives will definitely come around. It might be better to bring her mom over for some peace and quiet.

Her spoiled younger brother, after some special training from her, became a bit more sensible. Full rehabilitation will require further supervision, but since he came back from the studio, his gaming addiction has been curbed.

He even used his first month’s salary to buy a bunch of snacks for Qian. Although it was Qian’s money, knowing to buy something showed some understanding. He also bought an extraordinarily ugly floral dress for Jia Xiufang, bringing Jia Xiufang to tears.

Shi Yu and Qian sat at a roadside BBQ stall, which was run by a couple. The guy grilled the meat, and the girl delivered the plates.

”Shun, add 10 more beef tendons!”

”Got it!”

Shi Yu lowered her voice and asked Qian, ”Qian, what do you think the relationship is between this couple?”

Qian snapped out of her thoughts. ”What?”

”What do you think the relationship is between the skewer couple?”

Qian followed her gaze. The slender-fingered girl was wiping the sweat off the man’s forehead with a towel, sharing a smile.

”Le, you’ve been busy all night. Sit down and have a soda.” The single-eyelid man offered the girl a soda.

Qian thought for a moment and told Shi Yu, ”They’re siblings, right?”

The man known as Shun seemed around 20 years old, and the girl, perhaps in her teens, didn’t resemble him at all. The man looked average but had a cheerful demeanor with single eyelids, while the girl appeared elegant with beautiful long fingers. No matter how you looked at them, they didn’t seem like siblings.

”Wrong, they’re a couple,” Shi Yu whispered.

”What?” Qian was surprised.

As a psychologist, even she didn’t catch it. How did Shi Touyu see it?

”Look at the BBQ guy. The way he looks at the girl, does that seem like an ordinary sibling? It’s enough to make people melt! And which brother would buy such an expensive soda for his sister while working at a stall?”

A true brother, if his sister were thirsty, would just scoop a dipper of cold water.

Only a boyfriend would thoughtfully offer a pricey drink to his girlfriend.

”As if you know everything. Yu Minglang said your brother spent half his salary on snacks for you, yet you dare say this.”

Shi Touyu lowered her head and muttered softly, ”Well, maybe he’s not my real brother...”

It was perhaps an illusion, but Qian noticed that while drinking soda, the girl smiled at her.

”Shun, someone over there said we’re a couple,” the girl told the single-eyelid skewer man.

The man burst into laughter, ”Who has such a keen eye? Here, these skewers are on the house...”

After a while, the skewers were ready, and the girl brought them over. Qian pointed at the extra skewers.

The girl smiled, ”My boyfriend sent these for you.”

”Pfft!” Shi Yu spat out her soda.

Qian’s face also warmed up. Discussing others behind their backs and getting caught...

The girl pointed to her ears, ”I’m a music student, so I have excellent hearing. My boyfriend said that from now on, whenever you two come to our BBQ stall, you’ll get a discount.”

On the way back, Shi Yu was still panicking.

”Don’t talk about people behind their backs! It’s so embarrassing to get caught!”

”But they are indeed a couple. You have sharp eyes.”

Thanks to Shi Touyu, they saved a lot today. The BBQ guy generously gifted them, and they packed extras for Dong Yi to take back.

”By the way, what was Dong Yi doing out late at night?” Shi Yu asked Qian.

Qian shook her head. ”Maybe she went to the study room.”

”Shopping at the night market?”

Qian shook her head, ”Dong Yi wouldn’t go shopping.”

Dong Yi seemed to budget tightly and spent very frugally, very sensible.

”Oh, isn’t that Dong Yi? Who’s that with her?” At the school’s gate, Shi Yu noticed Dong Yi with a man, seemingly discussing something.

The man wore very dirty clothes, clearly a construction worker, and was arguing with Dong Yi.

Qian squinted, recognizing him.

”That’s the man who brought Dong Yi to school.”

”Ah, I didn’t recognize him dressed like that.”

With Qian’s signal, Shi Yu recognized him.

Indeed, he was the man who brought Dong Yi that day.

He seemed to be saying something to Dong Yi, but she shook her head repeatedly. The man got anxious, trying to grab Dong Yi’s hand, but she shook it off and walked back to school without looking back.

”You heartless little bitch!” the man yelled at Dong Yi’s retreating figure.

Shi Yu, seeing someone insult her friend, let go of Qian and threw a slipper she just bought at the man.

”Who are you insulting? Say it again if you dare!”

”Who are you!” the man angrily glared, being hit on the head.

”I’m Dong Yi’s friend. Why are you insulting her? Don’t think we in room 4444 are easy targets. Come on if you’re not satisfied, fight!” Shi Yu couldn’t stand seeing her friend bullied. Despite her fear of ghosts, she stood up for her friends.

”You’re misunderstanding, Dong Yi is my fiancée—”

”You should go now; it’s getting late, and the road will be hard to walk on.” Dong Yi returned at the sound, pushing the man to leave.

”I told you, you need to decide quickly. You must go back with me during winter break!” the man insisted to Dong Yi.

Qian adjusted her glasses, wondering if Dong Yi’s recent tension was related to this man.
