Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

"What are you doing? Are you trying to restrict my personal freedom? I want to see the chairman!" Feng Manman shouted furiously, while the two bodyguards outside remained still, yet their faces and postures clearly conveyed one thing: dare to act up, no matter who you are, and they’ll take you down.

Feng Manman could only retreat, only then realizing something was wrong.

She said she was pregnant, and Yu Mingli made arrangements that very night, bringing two people to look after her, saying other matters would be discussed once he was done being busy.

At the time, she thought Yu Mingli was afraid of her causing a fuss at the Yu Family’s home and wanted to settle things quietly. Her plan was to use this pregnancy to strongly extort a large sum from Yu Mingli. Forcing Yu Mingli’s wife to leave was unlikely, given Yv Zhaozhao’s high standing at the Yu Family home.

Not to mention, the Yu Family’s eldest grandson was born by the sister-in-law, and she had two sons, along with years of rapport with Mrs. Yu. Feng Manman wasn’t foolish enough to push against the sister-in-law, but extorting a huge sum with this pregnancy to ensure a lifetime of comfort was not difficult.

Yu Mingli’s response at the time made Feng Manman feel she was halfway successful, but until the moment the maid pointed at her and shouted, she was restricted from going out, and the phone went unanswered, she started to panic.

She couldn’t get out!

"Mrs Liu, how are you talking? Do you know who she is? The chairman instructed us to take good care of her. If your actions harm her pregnancy, can you take the responsibility?" Qian stood up to speak.

"What are you, speaking for her? Is a homewrecker backing her up too?" Mrs Liu originally wanted to point at Qian but hesitated, raising her hand to point at Feng Manman instead.

"The boss told us to take care of her, this is not good."

"Fine! You’re good, you stay! I don’t want to look at this homewrecker!" Mrs Liu cursed and should have turned to leave; her act should have ended here, but she was unwilling to simply walk away, so she turned around and slapped Feng Manman’s face.

Feng Manman, being a fitness coach, reacted quickly. Seeing Mrs Liu lunging, she intended to run, but Qian unexpectedly blocked her path and shouted a slogan.

"Don’t hurt her!"

The slogan was touching, but before Feng Manman could react, she felt something pull her. Then Qian stepped aside, and as Feng Manman looked up, Mrs Liu’s slap came down with a loud smack.

In the second Feng Manman didn’t see, Qian had pulled her in front of Mrs Liu, letting her take the slap squarely.

Just as Feng Manman was about to react, Qian pointed at Mrs Liu, "You hit her, wait for the boss to come for you!"

Come for your bonus!

Exchanging a look of ’nicely done’, Mrs Liu exited quickly.

Outside, she wiped her sweat and took a deep breath. Getting called back post-retirement was worth not failing the mission.

Looking back at the tightly shut door, the rest was up to the youngest wife.

"Mrs Liu, are you alright? Shall we escort you downstairs?" The two bodyguards, having been with the brother long enough, naturally knew the old lady’s status.

Mrs Liu waved them off, indicating she could walk on her own.

Once downstairs, she glanced up at the glass above and shook her head.

"What kind of clown dares to make trouble at the Yu Family? I’ve watched Xiao Li grow up; he wouldn’t be stupid enough to leave evidence if he were to cheat."

Moreover, the youngest wife who stepped in this time clearly knows how to handle big matters, no wonder the family can remain honorable for generations. Exceptional genes attracting another exceptional half, and their offspring being naturally advantageous—only the foolish would think they could easily steal from a high-status lineage.

Having served the Yu Family for a lifetime, Mrs Liu was well aware of the happenings behind the noble family’s doors. Many people imagine that those beyond those doors are a bunch of playboys, relying solely on their parents’ shelter, assuming all children of power and wealth are brainless. They don’t realize some people with imposing identities work harder than average people; some only live in their imaginations, self-soothing with made-up events, pretending the children of wealthy are all pigs and the children of officials are all rascals.

Feng Manman is just such a person, thinking she caught a wealthy playboy.

Feng Manman touched her slapped face, angry enough to chase after, but Qian stopped her.

"I will report her behavior to the chairman."

"I understand now; Yu Mingli doesn’t care about this child at all! I might as well die!" Feng Manman cried bitterly.

Qian found it amusing; dying wasn’t difficult—just jump off the building! Yet she softly continued to persuade.

"Why wouldn’t he care after having us come over? Don’t get upset, focus on your health."

"I care about this child. Has anyone ever cared about me?"

"How could no one care? I’m here accompanying you, aren’t I?"

The specific environment had formed: angry emotions, a confined space, feeling wrongly treated, unable to contact the outside world, and having Qian previously show inclinations to help, Feng Manman developed a need to confide in Qian, who showed her goodwill.

Yu Mingli watched the monitor screen with a tense face. Yu Minglang nibbled on a peach from where he sat, his long legs pressed against the ground, occasionally glancing at the screen showing his wife manipulating, mostly listening.

"Will Qian’s approach really get her to talk?" Yu Mingli slightly doubted Qian’s method.

For Feng Manman to dare do these things, she must have calculated carefully for a long time; she surely wouldn’t share critical words with outsiders, let alone with Qian, who only infiltrated under the guise of a maid.

"No worries, my wife conducted thorough analysis beforehand, collecting Feng Manman’s personality traits. She figured, Feng Manman is an extrovert, and with some nudging and guidance, there’s a chance to make her open up."

Xiaoqiang didn’t lack other methods to make her talk, but felt his wife might enjoy experimenting with her skills; after all, psychologists are experts in conversational techniques.

Many people leave the psychologist’s office feeling relaxed, aware they said a lot but unable to recall much detail. This is because psychologists have their own methods to prompt talking, unconsciously encouraging people to share their troubles.

"Getting slapped by Mrs Liu is enough to provoke her?" The brother was slightly incredulous.

"Didn’t you see my wife cut off all her communication devices? Extroverts’ isolation in a confined environment, coupled with gentle guidance, can uncover any information. Just wait to see the performance."

Yu Minglang always had confidence in his wife, while Yu Mingli was visibly irritated. Just then, the office door opened, and someone walked in.

"What’s so entertaining here, let me see too."

When this voice sounded, the brother’s face looked as if he’d seen a ghost, his eyes widened tremendously.
