Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 968: Chapter 941: Failing to Catch an Adulterer and Getting Framed Instead

Back in his new apartment, Xiaoqiang placed the rescued wine and food along with the skewers he had just bought from the roadside together, and earnestly asked Qian.

”Buddy, how do you feel about my place?”

”It’s nice, just missing a hostess.” He was having fun, and she was eagerly playing along too.

”Don’t talk about women when drinking—uh, actually, a bit of conversation about them can be good for family harmony.” Deep into the role, Xiaoqiang nearly blurted out the classic line men use when they brag while drinking, but sensing danger, he quickly shifted his tone, putting on a righteous face.

”How about I tell you how wonderful my lady is?”

Qian waved her hand, forget about it.

She also wanted to step out of the role and find someone to talk to about what’s on her mind. It didn’t really matter what capacity he spoke to her in; what mattered was that they were having fun together.

”Let’s not talk anymore. While you’re still unmarried, let’s drink and be merry. Feelings in this world aren’t limited to just those between men and women.”

Qian filled the glass to the brim and pointed at him, ”Aren’t you going to take off your clothes? It’s so uncomfortable like this.”

She undid two buttons herself.

”You drink with other men like this too?” This time, it was Xiaoqiang who felt a little jealous.

”I do have quite a few male friends... but it’s only in front of you that I’ll be like this. You know, my husband is a very jealous man. For the sake of family harmony, one must know their limits.”

She looked at him with a smile, ”Don’t discuss men and women when drinking, come on, fill it up.”

At this moment, their position inadvertently reminded Yu Minglang of when the two first met. He had forcibly brought her over, also bought some food, and she wanted to provoke him with gross movie scenes.

This little beauty was finally going to be his bride, and he hoped she could be carefree every day. Clearly, she had something on her mind today. Yu Minglang silently drank a glass with her, pondering how to untangle her worries.

But outside the door, some of Yu Minglang’s older relatives were silently discussing with hand gestures.

The conversation inside could be partly heard outside by the group, and to these old folks’ ears, it was a blatant act of infidelity. How could this be allowed!

They all watched Yu Laomao grow up; how could they watch him make such a mistake before his marriage?

It cannot be tolerated!

The eavesdropping elder lived just downstairs from Yu Minglang’s place and was quite close to the Yu Family. By generational rank, Yu Minglang should call him Second Uncle, so he could be considered an elder to Yu Minglang.

After a moment’s consideration, this elder decided not to inform Yu Minglang’s father for now and brought a group of retirees from the compound to catch them in the act, planning to assess the situation before deciding whether to inform Yu Laomao’s parents.

As elders who had watched Yu Laomao grow up, they were deeply disappointed and contemptuous of his behavior of bringing a woman home to drink before marriage. Before coming over, they had already discussed that if the boy dared to act foolishly, they would beat him up on behalf of his father.

These were significant figures before their retirement, and after retirement, they spent their days with flowers, birds, fish, insects, and chess. This incident reignited the passion of those old days, as if they were back in their prime.

One of the elders took out a piece of wire, showing off to the others. This was a skill he hadn’t used in many years, and now it finally had a chance!

The other old men pushed him along, urging him to stop blabbering and quickly get the job done!

Yu Minglang was pouring wine for his beautiful friend inside, while the old men outside were no ordinary people, but Xiaoqiang wasn’t just anyone either.

Hearing that barely audible sound, sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he motioned for Qian to keep quiet before instructing her to go upstairs.

Having been with him for so long, Qian knew his temperament. Although Xiaoqiang usually joked around with her, whenever he got serious, there was trouble.

Qian cooperated seamlessly, chatting with him as if nothing was happening, pretending to drink and eat, but her steps headed upstairs. Her home was a duplex, and there was a sculpture she had moved from her previous house on the corridor upstairs—the one with the big knife.

Qian quietly went upstairs, holding the metal knife. Although it wasn’t sharp and was only a decoration, it could hold off an attack if necessary.

Yu Minglang held a wine bottle in one hand, a trash can in the other, silently approaching the door. He wanted to see which little thief dared to cause trouble in his neighborhood.

When the big brother developed this community, due to its superb location and building quality, the homes were mostly pre-assigned. Only acquaintances and friends could buy a place here; having money alone wasn’t enough.

With the best property management company in the city, known for its excellent security, it was ridiculous for someone to recklessly stumble into their net. Yu Minglang was determined to teach this person playing tricks on Guan Gong’s doorstep a lesson!

The door opened a crack as if someone was peeking in. The old man saw no one on the sofa, but the food and wine were still there.

Frowning, he pushed the door open a little more, and then a bit more...

Just as he poked his head in, there came a sudden swoosh!

He felt a clunk over his head, the sky turned dark, then someone grabbed him by the collar and yanked him inside.

The other old men still waiting outside to hear back suddenly saw the door open and their lead being pulled in. By the time they reacted, they witnessed their vanguard with her head stuck in a trash can, covered in all sorts of garbage. The old men were dumbfounded.

Yu Minglang’s swift actions came from years of training; ordinary people were no match for him. He subdued the intruder in one move, ready to smash the wine bottle over the head and teach these intruders a lesson for barging in. But as his hand swung downward, the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of the few dumbfounded old men outside who looked so familiar...

Yu Minglang shifted his weight, narrowly missing the head of the old man caught in the trash can, smashing the bottle into the door frame instead. Glass shattered, and the aroma of the fine wine wafted about.

One of the astounded old men outside, nostrils twitching, dumbfoundedly muttered, ”Wuliangye...”

Ah, what a waste!

Another old man glared at him, practically saying, at this point, who even cares about that?

Yu Minglang dropped the wine bottle, looking at the few familiar old men, a vein popping on his forehead.

”Mr. Liu, Mr. Li, Mr. Qu... why aren’t you at home, sneaking around picking locks at my place?”

Fortunately, he had been gentle; if it were anyone else, and he truly struck them, how could these elder men have taken it?

Just who was the old man stuck in the trash can?

The elder with the trash can took it off, his body covered in assorted garbage, looking ridiculous and sorry.

Yu Minglang’s sharp eyes caught a sight of an empty condom box hanging from his shoulder... oh dear...
