Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 677: Chapter 651: They are all serious, oh

Xiao Qian placed the watch on her wrist and noticed that its delicate design paired well with the jade bracelet Xiao Qiang had given her.

She remembered that Shuixian and Zhu Daodao had been dating for a long time, and it was about time for them to get married.

Zhu Dexi was Yu Minglang’s previous partner. Because his regular script handwriting was similar to Yu MingLang’s, Xiao Qian had almost mistaken him for her benefactor.

Zhu Dexi was notably talkative, so Yu MingLang had given him the nickname “Zhu Daodao.” He was also the blind date partner for Shuixian.

Shuixian initially felt no spark with him, but Xiao Qian’s efforts brought them together, and they eventually became a couple.

Zhu Daodao and Shuixian also had a sweet past together. They spent little time together, but Xiao Qian knew that Shuixian valued him a lot.

Shuixian said she was going to take over the family business, and Xiao Qian immediately thought of Zhu Daodao.

Thinking of Zhu Dexi, Shuixian pressed the stress toy in her hand even more briskly.

“Qian’er, all I have left are you and my dad. Zhu Dexi and I have broken up,” said Shuixian.

“Oh? You broke up?” Xiao Qian’s eyes narrowed.

Two months ago, she remembered a woman mentioning Zhu Daodao with a happy expression. Now, after her trip abroad and with a high-profile person by her side, Shuixian was saying she had broken up with Daodao?

“What does getting married feel like?” Shuixian walked to the window and looked at the family home where the people were in a different world from her own.

“Nothing special, pretty much the same as before, except I now have a certificate and the property is no longer mine alone, but shared with my husband. Oh, and I got this ugly house. For the time being, I need to figure out how to make it look a little more tasteful.” Having a husband with bad taste was quite a headache for Boss Qian.

“It sounds so boring. Look, marriage is so useless, and my life is such a mess right now that I’m not interested in these romantic matters. Since I don’t want to get married, of course, we broke up.”

“How did you break up? Did you say it to his face?” Xiao Qian knew Zhu Daodao well enough to not believe he would agree to break up just because Shuixian said so.

“Before going abroad, I sent him a text saying it was pointless to continue like this. He didn’t reply. It’s been over a month, so I guess he agrees with my view.”

So, Shuixian thought she was now in a heartbroken mode.

These days, she had always been confused, as if there was something on the tip of her tongue that she couldn’t quite describe.

“How long have you been with Zhu Daodao?”

“Several years, I guess.”

Shuixian believed a wordless ending was the outcome for her and Zhu Dexi. But she couldn’t help feeling an indescribable sadness in her heart.

Suppressing her sense of loss, she explained to Xiao Qian.

“We like different things as we grow through various stages of life. The things that accompany our growth will eventually be put away. We can’t expect a 20-year-old to still play with the toys they loved at the age of three. It’s not that our 3-year-old selves didn’t love that toy, it’s just that it no longer suits us now. I think I once seriously liked him, but things have changed.”

Shuixian was not allowed to show her emotions in public because of her status. She could only share a little of her feelings with Xiao Qian.

Xiao Qian was neither here nor there on her seemingly mature statement.

“Getting face-to-face is always different from saying ruthless things when you’re apart. Everything you say when you’re apart is just your imagination.”

“I’m heartbroken, can’t you comfort me?” Shuixian thought Xiao Qian would give her wholesome, all-embracing advice.

“What can I comfort you with? Who can understand your feelings better than yourself? You’re very determined now, but as soon as Zhu Daodao appears, your thoughts will change immediately. Whatever I say will be a waste of breath. If I say bad things about him and you two get back together, I’ll be the bad guy. If you want to talk, I’ll listen, but don’t expect me to give any guidance.”

Women in love are like people with mental illness. One second they’re suicidal and ready to break up, the next second they’re instantly happy when the man appears. No matter what people say, they end up offending someone. Xiao Qian didn’t want to add fuel to the fire.

“You mean, I’m not sincere about breaking up? I’m serious. I’ve sent the text message, and he hasn’t replied. That means he’s accepted it.”

“I didn’t say anything; it’s all your own thoughts.”

Shuixian was perplexed about whether to move forward or back off, and hoped Boss Qian would make a decision for her. Boss Qian, who had always been her unwavering support, remained silent, though.

“Things between Dexi and me were fine before. Just in these few months, he’s been constantly disappearing, and I often can’t reach him. I think he might be tired of our relationship, and I’m… tired of it too.”

When Shuixian spoke with sorrow, Boss Qian listened with amusement.

“You think such nonsense will fool me, let alone yourself?”

A big sarcastic laugh.

Shuixian was not a woman who couldn’t live without men. She had to learn a lot every day. In the past, when Daodao was still Yu MingLang’s partner, he often disappeared with him, sometimes for months without news. Shuixian hadn’t minded during all those years. Now she said she was tired of it, who was she fooling?

“I’m serious! I’m not joking with you! I’ve wanted to split up for a long time. He’s not right for me. He’s too talkative, always nagging me, and it’s so annoying…”

Listening to Shuixian complain about Zhu Daodao, Xiao Qian accidentally thought of her Xiao Qiang. With that thought, she burst into laughter.

Shuixian looked so troubled that she wanted to find a tissue to wipe her tears. With little sincerity, Xiao Qian handed her a used crumpled tissue from the tea table. Shuixian was about to use it when she saw how dirty it was…

“Oh, sorry. This might be a tissue my husband used for wiping glass or the toilet during the renovation.”

Shuixian threw the tissue at her face, feeling hurt.

“Hey! I’m sharing the pain and troubles of a heartbroken woman with you, and you’re laughing so flirtatiously. Is that appropriate?!”

“Is my flirtatiousness so obvious?”

“You see it for yourself in the mirror! So infuriating!”

Xiao Qian finally stopped holding back and revealed an even brighter smile.

“Since my disguise has been discovered, I won’t hide it anymore. Yes, when I see you acting so pitiful, I think of all the stupid things I did back then. Haha! I thought I was so pathetic at the time, but now, looking at your silly face, I think of myself. I wonder if I was just like you, saying one thing but thinking something completely different, and believing I had fooled everyone around me.”

Shuixian stood up and began to pack the things Xiao Qian had taken out back into the box. Xiao Qian hurriedly stopped her.

“Future big boss, is it really suitable for you to be so petty? These things were given to me, so how can you take them back?”

Heartbroken, Shuixian pointed at Xiao Qian — the heart-attacking expert.

“I came to you for comfort, not for you to rub salt into my wounds! Are you still my younger sister?”

“I’ll be your sisterly friend later. First, let me take this call!” Seeing the caller ID, Xiao Qian made a pause gesture.

The call was from Ye Xiaoyu.

“You’re saying your dad wants to apologize to Weiwei?”

“Yes, apparently he had nightmares all night and couldn’t stand it today, feeling paranoid that a dog is going to bite him.”

Two days ago, Ye Xiaoyu followed Xiao Qian’s instructions to scare Oliver James. Xiao Qian thought the shameless man had done so many despicable things that he would have the courage to face a week’s worth of fear.

Who could have thought?

He chickened out in no time!
