Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Mrs. Yu originally felt that her two daughters-in-law’s jokes were a bit over the top, but seeing the other party’s refusal to admit fault, she instantly understood.

Talking reason to someone like her is like playing the piano to a cow. Surely if she was willing to apologize to Qian, Qian wouldn’t have pulled such a stunt. Seeing this woman dare to bring money into it made Mrs. Yu’s anger uncontrollable; she wasn’t nicknamed "Little Pepper" for nothing, and she immediately retaliated!

That wealthy woman was furious after being hit with money by Mrs. Yu, particularly because Yu’s side had more people putting her at a disadvantage. Filled with anger but nowhere to vent, Xiaoqiang came over trying to mediate, but the woman dared not take it out on others, yet dared to target Xiaoqiang.

She reached out and pushed, Xiaoqiang was focused on Xuan, trying to stop him from hitting her mother-in-law, not expecting the person she was defending to strike her from behind, causing Xiaoqiang to stumble towards the wall.

Instead of hitting the wall, she fell into an embrace, and upon looking up, was confronted by a cold, stern face.

Wasn’t this her lover?

"Are you hurt?" the man asked, looking down, his expression unreadable but his eyes full of concern.

"Qingyun, come over quickly! These people are bullying Mom!" The wealthy woman called out urgently upon seeing her son arrive, feeling as though reinforcements had arrived.

"Wow! It’s him!!!" Xuan’s head buzzed upon seeing the man holding Xiaoqiang.

"Who is he?" Qian hadn’t seen this man before. He looked poised and charismatic, exuding a commanding yet subtle presence, standing next to Xiaoqiang they seemed like a perfect match.

"He’s the big boss of another company, my brother-in-law’s biggest rival, gosh last time during bidding he almost wrapped us up like dumplings, luckily brother-in-law cunningly won by a narrow margin. You have no idea, because of this sinister guy who put us in a terrible spot, although my brother-in-law ended up winning, he was so mad at us we almost got scared to death!"

Enemies meeting each other are always tenser. Xuan could never forget the "villain" who almost messed up his entire company. That miserably cunning scoundrel, he could recognize him even as ashes!

Upon hearing this, Qian understood; the man was her husband’s rival!

After ensuring the woman in his arms was unhurt, the man walked over to Qian’s bed and asked.

"How are you feeling?"

His words seemed to be laced with icy shards.

"Qingyun! This family attacked me, quickly teach them a lesson, make them pay!" the wealthy woman complained to her son when she saw him asking his own woman first then turning to inquire about the woman who bullied her, but completely ignoring herself, she was livid.

"How are you feeling?" the man insisted on asking Qian as if he hadn’t heard his mother’s yelling.

Seeing that he had already made his stance, aligning himself with her husband, Qian decided to leave some room to maneuver, not speaking too definitively.

"Actually, I’m fine, not a big issue."

"She herself said it’s not a big issue! This family is too much; I just accidentally bumped into her, and they went around hitting me and throwing money at me. What’s going on?!" the wealthy woman continued to complain to her son. Yu Qingyun ignored her again, his gaze sweeping around until it landed on Xuan, his eyes narrowed.

"We’ve met."

It’s a statement, showing his confidence.

Xuan immediately smiled falsely, "We crossed swords last time; your company may be decent, but it still fell to our brilliant Mr. Yu—you have my condolences."

Saying such things is asking for a beating, yet Qingyun remained motionless, gradually pulling his mouth to one side.

"Are you one of Yu Minglang’s people?"

"Yes!" Xuan boasted proudly.

Indeed, employees are just like their bosses; just as annoying as Yu Minglang.

"If not for that brat Yu Minglang’s tricks last time, you wouldn’t have won."

"Our vice president said warfare is the way of deceit! He also mentioned..." Xuan’s voice grew softer.

"Mentioned what?" Qingyun asked coldly, knowing it wouldn’t be good since that kid Yu Minglang was really cunning, every cell having a mischievous and sly aura.

"Our vice president also said, next time they’d wipe you out completely."

Qingyun sneered, "Go back and tell that cunning Yu Minglang, next time I’ll make sure he doesn’t have anything to laugh about."

The conversation took place here, creating an audience of sister-in-law, Mrs. Yu, and Qian watching the drama. Even Xiaoqiang joined them.

"Seems like you know each other?" Xiaoqiang asked.

"If I heard correctly, your husband and mine should be industry colleagues, just from different places, so I suppose we’re acquainted now." Qian realized the situation, recalling how someone had caused Yu Minglang quite some trouble—though Xiaoqiang often cursed him, he secretly admired him. There’s no growth without a worthy adversary.

Here they witnessed the drama unfold, while the wealthy woman was angrily ignored, was everyone just treating her like air?!

Ignoring her thoroughly embarrassed and angry, as she was stuck in a difficult spot, another person walked in from outside.

"Mom! Are you alright?"

Seeing this person made the wealthy woman smile brightly; her elder son has arrived!

"Third son, help Mom seek justice, these people are bullying me!"

Mrs. Yu and the others shifted their gaze, and upon seeing the incoming man, they shook their heads.

Are they really family?

Why does Qingyun look poised and handsome, with stature to match, while this incoming man is sleazy-looking, short, ugly, and even has a squint!

Did Qingyun get all the good genes, leaving such a crooked one behind?

Seeing his brother’s arrival, Qingyun’s icy face froze further.

"Who bullied my mom? Do you want to die? I brought people here, there’s a whole line outside that will dismantle your legs. You dare mess with my mom, you must be tired of living, and this vile woman hasn’t even entered our family yet and is stirring trouble, truly vile—ah!"

Before the third son could finish speaking, Qingyun reached out and grabbed his neck, choking him until he rolled his eyes.

"Shut up, you disgraceful thing!"
