Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss - Chapter 23

Chapter 23: Stop Insulting My Intelligence and Stop Slandering the Kind Lady

Xiaoqian was expressionless to the apologies of the two men who wore floral underwear.

“I will never forgive you, ever.”

The hatred from the previous life coupled with the loss of her precious daughter. These could not easily be forgiven with an empty and insincere apology.

This hatred cannot be eliminated. If there was a time limit to this hatred, it would be for an eternity.

Xiaoqian turned and left without looking back like a queen. When she walked past Yu Minglang she stopped.

“Busybody.”

Yu Minglang was not angry. Xiaoqian then added softly.

“…Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

Watching Xiaoqian left with the pictures, Lee Zhen and Ni Jianren panicked. Also, it seemed that Yu Minglang did not have the intention of letting them go. Their only choice was to beg Yu Minglang.

“Cousin, please let us go. That woman was so arrogant. She did not even thank you for your help. Is it worth ruining our brotherhood for this outsider? Let us stand up and I’ll explain to you.”

Yu Minglang was not listening to what Lee Zhen was saying. He was watching Xiaoqian as she was leaving and thought that her shadow looked lonely.

Under normal circumstances, a woman who came across a situation like this would cry and make lots of noise. However, she was calm as she knew what to do to protect herself. However, why did she not bring a family member when she was going to engage in a dangerous act such as this?

Her family only had their mind fixed on selling her off. She was determined to gather the evidence all by herself.

This woman was too strong. This could only mean one thing. She was never loved and Yu Minglang’s heart ached for her.

If someone loved her, maybe she would be less lonely?

At the moment, Lee Zhen was going on and on about it. Yu Minglang got annoyed and turned to look at the two cowards that were under his control. He let them go and said to the half-naked Ni Jianren.

“Scram!”

Ni Jianren’s knees went weak.

He did not know where this intimidating man came from. He seemed nice, handsome and so manly…

He could not help but admired him.

Yu Minglang was irked by the disgusting look in his eyes. He squinted and kicked him ruthlessly. Ni Jianren screamed and ran without turning his head.

Boo woo! He was handsome, but too fierce and abusive!

“Don’t go back to the room, leave now!” What Yu Minglang said made him so scared he ran away very quickly. He could not care what Yu Minglang would do to Lee Zhen.

Without Yu Minglang’s permission, Ni Jianren dared not return to the room to get his clothing. He left the hotel in his floral-patterned underwear. It was too scary. First came a devilish woman, then came a strong and intimidating man!

After Ni Jianren left, Yu Minglang stared at Lee Zhen.

Lee Zhen smiled apologetically and said, “Cousin, I shall go home too.”

As he was walking toward his room, Yu Minglang followed behind. Yu Minglang closed and locked the door. Lee Zhen’s stomach was churning.

“Tell me everything you know about the girl.”

“Her name is Xiaoqian, she is a friend of Ni Jianren. She liked him and was constantly bothering him. Jianren and I are colleagues. We were tired after mahjong. So we came to the hotel to get some rest. The crazy woman was just jealous. It was all a misunderstanding.”

Lee Zhen was trying to get himself out of the mess.

Her name was Xiaoqian. Nice name. Yu Minglang was distracted. Then, he looked around with his sharp-looking eyes and saw an opened condom wrapper.

There was tissue on the messy single bed and their clothing was scattered all over from the bathroom to the bedside.

Yu Minglang heard Lee Zhen was slandering Xiaoqian again. He said,

“Lee Zhen.”

“Cousin, what is it?”

Yu Minglang gave him a punch.

“Don’t insult my intelligence and stop slandering the lady that you hurt with your shameless behaviour!”

The last sentence was the important point.

Lee Zhen was seeing stars after being punched by Yu Minglang. The moment Yu Minglang thought about the shadow of the lonely Xiaoqian, he was enraged at this shameless man.

He let Jianren go because he was not his family. However, as for Lee Zhen, this shameless man was his family. He would not forgive family members who did things that are shameful and harmful to others.

Thus, Yu Minglang decided to use a direct way to avenge Xiaoqian.

With a flick of his finger, he started kicking and punching Lee Zhen like a punching bag!

“Ah! Yu Minglang, you’re crazy! I’m your cousin!”

Lee Zhen was no match to Yu Minglang. Yu Minglang used all his strength to beat him up. At that point, Lee Zhen thought that he was going to be beaten to death.

“She’s just an outsider! I’m your cousin!”

“I don’t have a cousin like you!” Yu Minglang and thought.

She will not be an ‘outsider’ for long…

After Xiaoqian left the hotel, she ran to the largest wholesale market in Q town. She found a photo studio wholesaler. She bought a photo developing package and was going to develop the photos by herself.

When she got home, the door to the shop was locked. Qu Xue was not home. She wondered if she was in the hospital, but then she figured that it was not important now.

Xiaoqian opened the door and entered. She went to her room and locked the door. Closed the blinds and made her room into a darkroom. She took the things from the photo developing package and small buckets. She placed them neatly and prepared the bleach-fixing bath, photo developing powder and other chemicals. Then she started the photo development process.

In her previous life, she enjoyed photo shooting. After her daughter was born, digital cameras were developed. However, she was still enchanted by the effects of a photo that was taken with an analog film camera. She learned how to develop photos for her daughter.

Now she used the technique that she learned for her daughter to avenge the bastard. It was a piece of cake.

She did not use an enlarger as she could not afford it. However, it was ok that the photos were smaller in size. It was clear enough.

When a woman is so strong, does she still need a man? Xiaoqian was thinking about it when she was doing all these.

She believed that she did not need a man. However, the scene of Yu Minglang fighting for her kept popping into her mind.

When he pulled her behind to protect her, she saw his back and it was comforting.

Was it enough to feel comforting when a man and a woman are together?

Xiaoqian did not want to give it any more thought. She realized that when she thought about Yu Minglang, she had the urge to wash her hands again.

The story developed to this point and there was no turning back. Xiaoqian could only finish what she started. To do that, she could not be sloppy.

Then she wrote a little note and put it in the soap box where Chen Lin hid her admission notice.

She kept the film and returned the camera to its place. She put the photo developing equipment in a bag and took it out of the house to throw it away.

Xiaoqian then walked to a public phone and called Ni Jianren.

“Come out, I have a business proposition to discuss with you.”

Ni Jianren was shaking after receiving the phone call from Xiaoqian. He put his hand on the place where he was injured by Yu Minglang.

“Chen Xiaoqian, you crazy woman. What do you want?!”
