Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 905: Chapter 879: Father and Son Are Connected, Foreseeing Trouble

”There’s a day off today, isn’t Dalong going to take an exam? Came back to cheer him on.” As soon as Yu Minglang arrived at his mother-in-law’s place, he acted all pure and innocent, very gentle.

”Sis! Brother-in-law!” Dalong came out of the bedroom, with a look of great sorrow and deep resentment.

He thought he could garner some attention from his elder sister, but in return, he got nothing more than Qian’s disdainful gaze.

”Before the exam, we let you stay home to relax and adjust your exam status, how did you end up eating yourself fat and foolish? Mom, did you feed him fattening feed? His brain wasn’t working well to begin with, now he’s so fat, going to the exam his head will turn to mush.”

Rubbish!

A bolt from the blue struck Dalong’s head, making him feel particularly aggrieved.

”Sis! I’ve only gained less than 10 pounds, do you have to be so vicious? Besides, look at my height, I’m almost 180, isn’t eating a bit also nourishment for the body!”

”Height 180, weight 180, your height and weight, are almost catching up with Doraemon, coupled with your intelligence, I’m worried about your future marriage prospects.”

Qian showed no mercy when teasing her brother, pricking Dalong’s heart mercilessly.

”Phooey, phooey, phooey! Don’t say such unlucky words!” Qian’s mom superstitiously spat on the ground several times.

Mr. Liao warmly came over to greet Qian and Yu Minglang.

”You must be exhausted, why don’t you go lie down in the room for a while? Your mom and I will start cooking.”

”Uncle Liao, you’ve gained weight too,” Qian said objectively.

It seems Mom hasn’t skimped on pampering Chen Zilong, even pampering the whole family until they’re all shiny-faced with oil.

”Haha! Your mom’s cooking is great, my living standards have improved too. Today she’s going to treat you with some real cooking skills.” Greeting the two kids who’ve come home, Mr. Liao wanted to help Qian’s mom in the kitchen.

His wife had been busy since early morning, knowing her daughter was coming home, preparing so many delicious dishes that she’s not done yet.

”Show off what? Is there anything worth me rewarding? Every day you just care about money, not the family, can’t even cook instant noodles, this silly girl, your life is becoming scattered!” Qian’s mom poked Qian’s forehead with her finger, her words were full of affection despite the scolding.

”Right! Scattered!” Following his sister’s teasing about gaining weight, Dalong added in.

”Even if I’m shattered into eight pieces, any random piece of me is more capable than you, do you want big sis to quiz you, give you some pre-college entrance devil training?”

”Oh, come on! Don’t pressure me!”

Just thinking about the exam gives Dalong a headache.

He had no shortage of supplements, and the weight gain was obvious. Probably gained so much weight that some of the knowledge got squeezed out of his brain. He felt like he forgot almost everything from the last semester while he was preparing for the exam...

”Are you two done? Arguing as soon as you meet!” Qian’s mom kicked Dalong, then gently used her finger to tap Qian’s head.

Dalong pouted, ”Are you biased or what? My sister’s your biological child and I’m not?”

Why kick him and only lightly tap his sister? Clearly, she started it!

”If you could live up to an eighth of your sister, I wouldn’t want to kick you at all. I’m just seeing if I can kick some water out of your head so you can perform well tomorrow! Minglang, why don’t you take a rest here, or you can lie down in Qian’s room to relax, I’ll call you when dinner’s ready.”

”No need, Mom, let me help you.”

”No, none of you come in, Liao, you don’t come in either. There’s only a few stir-fried dishes left, I’ve cut everything ready, when Zhuzi and the others come over, I’ll throw them in the pan. All other dishes are ready.”

Hearing there were outsiders, Qian frowned unhappily.

”Did you invite them over for dinner?”

”What else? They came from so far to find us, would it be appropriate for us to gorge ourselves at home without them?”

”You didn’t invite them to stay at home, in my room, did you?” Qian was most particular about this.

Call her fussy, call her a germaphobe, Qian’s bed was absolutely not for just anyone to sleep on. She’d previously emphasized this to her mom, no matter who comes to the house, absolutely no outsiders should sleep in her room.

”Look at you guarding your food! Would I dare let them sleep in your bed? Besides, your Zhuzi brother works at a bank, has a formal job and is very particular, we offered them to stay at our home, but they said it’s too cramped, so they went to your second uncle’s house—”

”You let them go to second uncle’s house?”

Qian’s family had long since severed ties with her second uncle. Back in the day, vying for the elder’s inheritance, second uncle’s family didn’t spare any dirty tricks on Qian’s mom, if it weren’t for Yu Minglang and Qian having their back, Qian’s mom would have been bullied to death.

”What are you making a fuss about! I didn’t voluntarily talk to your second uncle, they went there on their own. Initially didn’t even want to tell me, said they stayed at a hotel instead, later it slipped out from Zhuzi’s wife, that’s how I found out they went, don’t be too worried, our family doesn’t speak to second uncle’s family, but Zhuzi is still their relative.”

”Being able to live with someone like my second uncle, they probably aren’t good people either.” Dalong commented, he was young back then, but knew his mom and sister were being bullied.

”I’ll hit you!” Qian’s mom wanted to kick Dalong, this brat how could he so blatantly criticize relatives in front of his brother-in-law, it’s too improper.

”Okay, okay, the child still has exams coming, you don’t want to break him.” Mr. Liao quickly stepped in to mediate, Qian’s mom lectured Dalong a bit more, then went into the kitchen.

Qian felt that her pampered and chubby brother wasn’t wrong.

Birds of a feather flock together.

But there were unexpected points, her mom had only said Zhuzi was a village relative, how come he suddenly became a bank employee?

Before she came, she’d been thinking about this, assuming Zhuzi was a traditional farmer image, what a surprise he had a formal job?

Seems there’s a lot she didn’t know about.

”Chen Zilong, come into the room with me, I want to test if you’re prepared.”

”No... Sis, please spare me, I’m ready for a failed exam.”

”Look at your lack of ambition!” Qian glared at him, Chen Zilong dared not disobey the woman with the most say in the whole family, obediently followed Qian into the room.

Yu Minglang sat on the couch, casually chatting with Mr. Liao, about some current domestic news, some household trivia.

After chatting for a few minutes, Mr. Liao glanced at the kitchen, where Qian’s mom was busy cooking, the range hood buzzing loudly.

Mr. Liao lowered his voice, ”Is Yun Chang alright outside?”

No one knows a son better than his father, it was obvious to Qian that something happened to Fugui, how could his biological dad have no clue, although when he called Liao Fugui he spoke like nothing was wrong, Mr. Liao knew if his son didn’t have something serious, how could he possibly neglect work?

Yu Minglang was not at all surprised Liao figured it out, if a hospital director didn’t have this much sense, that would be strange indeed.
