Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 718: Chapter 692: Qian’s Stealthy Dark Cooking Debut

Seeing Shuixian looking crestfallen, Qian mouthed to Yu Minglang, ”Is this true?”

Yu Minglang mouthed back, ”Fake!”

Qian took advantage of no one paying attention and pinched the troublemaker, Yu Minglang chuckled. Who asked Shuixian to dream of sleeping with his wife? The Asian Vinegar King’s trait was resolute from the start, and Yu Xiaoqiang insidiously provoked Shuixian, seeking a little revenge for this woman’s attempt to take his wife~

Qian saw Yu Minglang handling the foil-grilled fish so skillfully, she also wanted to give it a try. The fish was already marinated, so she only needed to wrap it and put it on the fire. Surely this would work?

So, while everyone wasn’t paying attention, Qian with the ambition of shedding her kitchen idiot reputation, sneakily wrapped a fish and stealthily placed it on the grill. The moment of rewriting history was now!

Yu Minglang noticed Qian’s little move, with a mischievous grin, loosened the foil wrap slightly while Qian wasn’t looking.

”Bro, have you seen Ma Lv yet?” Liumei didn’t want to say he was her boyfriend anymore. Watching her brother and sister-in-law interact so well, she suddenly felt the word ’boyfriend’ might not be as simple as she imagined.

”Yeah, I’ve met him. On behalf of the whole family, I express disdain for your taste. We’ll talk about your business later.”

Ma Lv came over to observe and learn; the place he visited happened to be the Yu Family which had just moved here. Yu Minglang, as vice president, didn’t need to receive these people but came out out of curiosity and also to observe Ma Lv.

Though he only glanced casually through the crowd, Lang couldn’t forget his appearance — how did someone like him manage to deceive his sister?

Furthermore, when Qian confronted Ma Lv’s family, Yu Minglang heard it through the eavesdropper. About what that family did, he just wanted to give his clever wife Qian a hard kiss, wife, well done, replacing the moon to wipe out those shameless folks!

”Liumei, after today’s matters, do you still want to get married? I feel that family doesn’t really suit you.” Shuixian pondered over the phrasing, although not deeply engaged with Liumei, she also didn’t want to see her jumping into a pit.

”My master said this year, I must get married, besides him there’s no one else...” Liumei said with uncertainty.

”A great person once said, without a house, one lacks authority. The Ma Family can’t afford a wedding house yet wants to monopolize all the authority, Meizi, are you willing?”

When Qian mentioned a great person, Liumei almost reflexively thought of an intellectual wearing glasses.

”Which great person said that...” Liumei shook her head, why would she suddenly think of Liao Fugui.

”Liao Fugui, my stepbrother!”

Qian discreetly brushed her big brother’s presence.

Upon hearing Qian mention Liao Fugui’s attitude towards a wedding house, Liumei’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, pained.

Looking at her expression at that moment, Yu Minglang asked Qian.

”Wife, what is this called now?”

”The two pearls cry for the king, lamenting they didn’t meet before marriage.” Qian gave a precise assessment, Yu Minglang nodded, smugly glancing at Mai.

Mai didn’t really understand classical poetry but felt the phrase lamenting they didn’t meet before marriage sharply nestled into his heart, this didn’t just apply to Liumei, but to him as well!

Mai complexly tried to look towards Qian’s direction, he seemed to suddenly understand why he was acting odd all day.

Yet still didn’t see Qian, Yu Minglang again stole the spotlight protecting his wife, hi, little brother coveting someone else’s wife over there, are you okay?

Mai was disgusted by Yu Minglang’s stunning beauty, with no one noticing—or you could say no one cared for him—he was destined to be unnecessary at this gathering, since no one took notice of him, he wandered to the grill, quickly eyeing the fish Qian wrapped, it was something she made personally...

Liumei now found herself in a bit of a difficult position.

Hadn’t had time to see the house before Qian summoned her, tomorrow she was going to see the development Mr. Yu developed. Thinking of Mrs. Ma who couldn’t shut up about feminine virtues and constraints from feudal times, and Ma Qing who seemed difficult to get along with, plus Mr. Ma who couldn’t help but interject into women’s chats, Liumei felt a headache.

Qian saw her confused look, serenely prompting a few words, ”Need some soul-soothing chicken soup?”

”Yes, yes, yes!”

”The soup she serves is all poisoned.” Yu Minglang spoke, understanding the style of ”Qian from the block” too well, never seen her serve conventional chicken soup.

Qian glared at him, Yu Minglang immediately switched sides pathetically, ”But if used right, poisoned herbal medicine can cure, appropriately sipping poison chicken soup can clear out the water in your head. Young people who don’t choose their partners carefully, the water in your head now will turn into tears of your lifetime.”

He finished, inviting credit looking at Qian, wife, was what I said bright and clear?

Qian snorted, showing it was somewhat satisfactory.

”The 365th power of 1.01 is approximately 37.8, but the 365th power of 0.99 is approximately 0.03, do you know what this means?”

”I understand! Sister-in-law gets me! Sister-in-law means to let me do a little more each day, a year later small things will accumulate enough to fly!” Truly a psychology expert, so good at comforting!

Liumei drank a bowl of chicken soup, instantly feeling no more confusion, sister-in-law was telling her to work harder and she could live the life she wanted! She happily drank the soul-soothing chicken soup, but one sentence from Qian got stuck in her throat.

”That’s not what I meant, although many mental chicken soups and direct-selling courses use this as a case to tell everyone effort brings return, in my view this is misleading, the gap between 1.01 and 0.99 isn’t effort, it’s talent or fate.”

”Talent?”

”In work and life, we can assume it’s talent, in love, we can understand it as fate, for instance, 1.01 indicates intellectual advantage over other students, like your brother who plays tennis with female classmates every day yet is still a top scorer on College Entrance Exam, 0.99 is like my brother Chen Zilong no matter how late he studies or how many PhDs follow him for one-on-one tutoring, his score remains 250.”

”Are you saying... there’s no use in trying for people with low IQ?” Liumei was provoked, poison chicken soup was painful yet enlightening!

”It doesn’t mean low IQ, just that each person’s field of expertise differs, some people excel in studies, others in other fields, not doing well in studies doesn’t mean no future, similarly we can apply this theory to relationships, the gap between you and Ma Lv is that 0.99 and 1.01 distance, lacking that bit of emotional connection, no matter how hard you try you can’t achieve the desired family atmosphere, not doing well academically can still choose another career, but marrying the wrong person, the cost of retrying is way too high.”

How many spend a lifetime without crossing that 0.02 distance?
