Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 1089: Chapter 1061: Not as Noble as You Think

Qian admitted she’s being a bit childish, but there’s nothing she can do about her nature.

She dislikes that green tea dog, that’s her own emotion, but seeing her own silly dog being bullied is a whole different story.

No matter how Qian commands Beauty to fight back, Beauty remains indifferent, pretending to be a well-behaved passerby dog, staying silent.

That little deer dog seems to sense Beauty’s cowardice, and arrogantly barks non-stop, wishing it could break free from the leash to get a few bites in, while Beauty stands behind Qian’s leg, trying hard to play invisible~

Qian glanced around and saw her sister-in-law hasn’t returned yet, finally losing patience and sternly pointing at the arrogant little dog.

”Shut up!”

Animals have the instinct to recognize human’s aura, especially dogs, which rely heavily on human support. Seeing Beauty behave, it bullies hard, but once Qian steps in directly, the little dog immediately backs down.

Qian pointed at the little dog’s nose in anger, ”If you dare bully my dog again, I’ll turn you into a dog meat hotpot, understand?!”

The sister-in-law came back with a plastic bag, seeing her own dog standing obediently by the lamppost, seemingly acting very well-behaved.

Qian smiled amicably.

”Sister-in-law, thank you for watching Wangcai for me.”

”No problem, just a little effort.”

The sister-in-law unties the leash to let the puppy free, ”Wangcai, let’s go home~”

The little dog ran away without looking back, cherishing its life away from fierce humans.

Even pets can’t escape Qian when she gets mad.

Back home, the first thing Qian does is scold Beauty, pointing at its nose in frustration with its lack of fighting spirit. ”You’re so big, why are you so afraid? Such a small thing dares to flaunt before you, what are your teeth for?! Can’t you bark back?!”

Beauty’s attitude towards Qian has improved quite a bit, seeing Qian this angry, it tries to lick her hand, but Qian pushes its head away disdainfully.

”Don’t try to win me over! If humans don’t bother me, I won’t bother them; same goes for dogs! If it’s kind to you, you can return kindness, but if it’s baring its teeth at you, then you need to fight back!”

Qian’s reaction was akin to a parent reprimanding their bullied child behind closed doors.

Obediently, Beauty lies on the ground, head against the floor, listening to the scolding.

”Seeing you like this just makes me angry!”

Wait a minute, why does this situation seem familiar?

Qian thinks back for a moment, and suddenly remembers.

In a past life, she had been scolding her daughter Xiaowei in this way, albeit Xiaowei wasn’t taking beatings without fighting back to make Qian angry. Rather, the child was too tough, undefeated in school fights, anyone daring to laugh at her for having no father would get pummelled until their face was flowered. Because of this, Qian was often called as a parent by the school, frequently summoned by teachers.

At that time, she would point at Xiaowei to reprimand her, saying violence can’t solve problems.

But now with another bullied member in the household, Qian began to miss her daughter’s knack for not being taken advantage of.

”If you had the ability like your sister Wei, you wouldn’t be living so miserably now. Silly dog, out in the world you can’t be taken advantage of, whoever bullies you should be fought back, understand?”

”Woof...”

It’s hard to know what Beauty said, but its voice was different from before. Qian reached out to touch its fur, which this guy had been quite resistant to being touched these days. She thought Beauty would run away but it did not, obediently allowing her to pet it.

That day, Beauty ate quite a lot of dog food, seemingly not rejecting Qian’s feeding anymore. The exact reason Qian didn’t know either.

Through this incident, Qian also discovered that Beauty was indeed very timid.

Going out for a walk, it’s alright if a little dog bullies Beauty, but being chased by a cat, Qian couldn’t stand it.

She truly wanted to ask Yu Minglang, is this really a dog known for capturing criminals, how could it be so well-behaved and timid?

First, she must contact Yu Minglang.

Yu Minglang has been gone for five days.

Aside from a phone call in between, there’s been no other news.

Qian has had a run of bad luck these couple of days, although Beauty isn’t opposing her anymore, she hurt her foot, got thrown into a ditch by a reckless junior on a bike while at school, spraining it.

Seeing she hit the campus goddess, the junior girl’s face turned green with fright, and she couldn’t speak. Qian had to console her with a few words not to take it to heart.

Qian limped back home, her foot swollen like a bun.

Blessings never come in pairs, and misfortunes never come alone. Limping home and just sitting down for a sip of water, the phone rang.

”Qianbaby.”

Yu Minglang’s voice sounded much heavier than usual, having not seen each other for days, Qian didn’t notice his abnormality, responding happily.

”When are you coming back?”

No case progress over these days, has he already resolved the matter?

”There’s something I need to tell you, I’m asking you this officially, you can agree or refuse.”

Qian sensed a faint foreboding upon hearing his formal tone.

”Go ahead.”

”We’ve already tracked the suspect’s whereabouts, but he has taken Wang Xiaohong hostage.”

”Taken...who?!”

Qian thought she’d heard wrong.

Wasn’t Wang Xiaohong sent away by her brother?

That family colluded with outsiders trying to plot against her brother, they were trounced by her brother and Qian working together, left disarrayed. Her brother left the Wang family a lifeline but under the condition they never step foot in this province again, and Wang Xiaohong must never meet Panpan.

A person already out of the picture, how could they suddenly be taken by a vicious criminal?

And what is Yu Minglang’s official request to Qian at this moment?

”This criminal is more cunning than we imagined. I’ve found his hideout but didn’t expect him to take Wang Xiaohong as a hostage, and he made a demand.”

Yu Minglang had encountered many vicious criminals, but this was the most ruthless and intelligent, extremely high IQ with counter-surveillance capabilities.

”What was the demand, regarding me?”

”Yes, he wants to meet you, to talk alone. If you don’t show up within the specified time, he’ll kill Wang Xiaohong. I won’t force you on this matter, you can choose to come or not.”

Yu Minglang was more than ninety-percent sure of ensuring Qian’s safety, but he didn’t want to impose any demands on Qian.

That’s akin to how he secretly hid Beauty and raised it, doing what he believes right without imposing his moral standards on Qian. This is what Qian appreciated most about him.

Even if everyone thought Qian should show up at the scene to save someone, Yu Minglang still granted Qian an enormous freedom of choice, wouldn’t force Qian to contribute more just because she’s his wife nor demand Qian do anything she dislikes.

”I’m not going.”

Qian calmly declined.

She doesn’t have that grand mentality, it’s fine to call her selfish.

Wang Xiaohong previously made things difficult for her family, now asking her to save that woman, she doesn’t possess such noble feelings.
