Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

"That’s your own sister, how could she not think of you? She’s already planned a way out for you!"

Yu Minglang’s words gave Chen Zilong a glimmer of hope, but the next second, he fell into a deep abyss.

"Your sister’s worried you might not make it back. She did the math; if you meet a glorious end, combined with the unit’s compensation and your insurance, it’ll be enough to support our mom for the rest of her life."

"What insurance do I have?" Chen Zilong was bewildered.

"Your sister bought it for you, a huge policy. She got it when you joined the unit, just in case one day you..."

"!!!"

Chen Zilong was hit hard.

"So, if you don’t want a glorious end there, then perform well. Joining your brother-in-law’s company will be better than your current unit."

After Yu Minglang finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Chen Zilong looked up at the sky, the sun was still scorching, but why did he feel a cold breeze blowing inside?

From what brother-in-law said, it seemed he had no way out.

Some things that seemed so taken for granted suddenly didn’t feel that way.

But why weren’t his sister and brother-in-law helping him... Chen Zilong couldn’t figure it out, he only knew he seemed to have no retreat.

Not far away, the fierce-looking team leader was checking his watch, seemingly calculating when Chen Zilong would finish his call so he could continue to torment him.

Thinking about what Yu Minglang said, Chen Zilong gritted his teeth and decided to fight!

Since he’d be exhausted from all directions anyway, he might as well have some awareness and work towards what brother-in-law said. As long as he performed well, when he entered the headquarters of brother-in-law’s group, he’d be able to walk comfortably on brother-in-law’s turf, right?

With this intense unwillingness, Chen Zilong clenched his fists, determined to fight back for his shining future!

Of course, after fighting, he was trapped by Yu Minglang again, but that’s another story.

Qian merely smirked upon learning that Chen Zilong finally settled down at work.

Everything was under control, and this kid’s life still had a long way to go.

With her brother’s situation temporarily stable, Qian could finally feel at ease.

That day Qian was shopping with Daxi, who bought a lot of stuff. Qian added some money to have the shop deliver it home; otherwise, the two women would be exhausted just carrying it all.

"You know, people do change after getting pregnant," Qian remarked.

Daxi, who was picking out towels for the baby, looked at Qian puzzled.

Qian gestured at the towels, "You never used to buy such expensive things."

These were imported, and in the past, Daxi wouldn’t have borne to spend the money. Daxi used to always collect supermarket brochures when shopping, choosing the cheapest even for a bottle of soy sauce.

Now, not only does she pick expensive items for her unborn baby, but the lifestyle of her second brother and Panpan have significantly upgraded too. Panpan openly stated their family jumped from pre-liberation to a moderately prosperous society, and he had the illusion of being a second-generation rich kid, never feeling his family’s condition was this good before.

"I don’t even know what’s come over me, just feel like shopping is such a comfort. Not shopping leaves an emptiness inside—Qian, do you think I have a shopping addiction?"

Qian laughed.

"It’s okay, still within controllable range. Do what makes you happy."

"Panpan and Second Brother say the same," Daxi showed a blissful expression.

After having the baby, both her husband and son took good care of her.

"How’s Panpan adjusting after starting school?" Qian regularly checked on Panpan, for reasons only she and Xiaoqiang knew.

"Pretty well, but he got a bit upset. I heard a little girl snuck a kiss on him while he was napping. He came home furious and only calmed down when Second Brother promised to take him fishing on his day off."

Panpan was very good-looking, very popular even at a young age, and he found it quite bothersome.

Qian laughed, "Like father, like son. He takes after Second Brother in this regard."

This child’s temperament was quite similar to Second Brother, with a bit of a cleanliness obsession, disliking being touched by others. It’s not something kids don’t understand; postnatal influence is truly significant.

Like Second Brother... not bad at all.

"Like a little grown-up, sometimes I don’t know where he gets so many ideas. Recently, Second Brother’s group was recruiting female pilots, and once I overheard Panpan telling Second Brother to stay away from those women, haha!"

"Haha, your son’s great, already knowing to stand by you at such a young age."

Hearing this, Qian was grateful once again for her initial choice; children’s growth is indeed largely influenced by their environment.

"Yes, if my son doesn’t stand by me, who will..."

Qian and Daxi chatted and laughed, heading to pay. Passing by the jewelry counter, a couple caught their attention.

A man was holding a woman who looked about in her twenties. The two seemed to be arguing.

"Why can’t I buy one like hers? If your wife can wear it, why can’t I?"

"Baby, I didn’t say you couldn’t buy it. Can you pick a different style? You both work at the same place; having the same thing isn’t good." The man coaxed gently.

"Hmph! In the end, isn’t it just because you’re afraid of that old hag’s family!"

Just two sentences and so much was revealed.

The man and woman were in an improper relationship, and this woman worked at the same unit as the man’s wife.

Daxi felt nauseous, the pregnancy reaction kicking in. Qian noticed her unwell face and quickly pulled her away.

Pregnant women shouldn’t watch such things; it’s too easy to get upset.

After paying, the two strolled a bit more, and on the way to pick up the car in the parking lot, they ran into the man again, who was on the phone.

"I’ve told you a thousand times, I’m out doing business, how could I be with a woman? Don’t overthink... Want sour plums? Go buy them yourself; don’t bother me with every little thing. Being pregnant isn’t such a big deal, stop being so fussy."

Oh dear! Daxi felt like vomiting blood. So this man not only fooled around behind his wife’s back, but his wife was also pregnant?

Qian calmly pulled Daxi into the car, but when driving past the man, she deliberately rolled down the window and called out sweetly.

"Honey, are you done with your call? Didn’t you promise to buy jewelry? Wasn’t it your big-bellied wife pestering you again?"

With that, she didn’t wait for his reaction and hit the gas, leaving him fuming in their dust.

There’s no need to go easy on such scumbags.

Daxi was thoroughly impressed with Qian but still had her concerns.

"Qian, weren’t you worried that saying that would stress out the wife, make her too emotional during pregnancy?"

"If she gets over it, she can raise the child herself after divorce. If she can’t afford to raise the child, just get rid of a scumbag like that. If she can’t get over it, she’ll have to suffer later on. That mistress mentioned the wife’s family was powerful enough, and today’s events will definitely give him a headache when he gets home."

Qian said coldly, men who cheat during a pregnancy deserve no sympathy. Doing disgusting things is bad enough, but also disgusting other people’s pregnant women, making Daxi feel ill, can’t mess with him too much.

Daxi seemed to think of something, touching her belly with some worry.
