Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Don’t Insult My IQ, and Don’t Disparage That Good Girl

Translator: 549690339

Facing the two men in their underwear apologizing, Xiao Qian remained expressionless.

“I will never forgive you, never.”

How could a hollow and insincere apology dissolve the hatred from her past life and the grief from her daughter’s passing?

This hatred could not be eradicated, so if there must be a time limit to it, it would be “forever.”

Like a queen, Xiao Qian left without looking back, brushing past Ming Lang, she stopped.

“Meddlesome man.”

Ming Lang did not feel offended, and Xiao Qian added softly.

“…Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

Watching Xiao Qian leave with the photo, Li Zhen and Ni Jianren were anxious, and seeing that Yu Minglang hadn’t planned to let them go, they could only beg him.

“Cousin, please let us go. You see, that woman is so arrogant. You defended her, and she didn’t even thank you. It’s not good for you to fall out with your own brother for a stranger. Let us go, and I’ll explain it to you.”

Yu Minglang didn’t bother to listen to Li Zhen’s words. He saw Xiao Qian leaving; her back looked so lonely.

Most girls faced with such a situation would cry or make a fuss. However, she was calm, knowing how to protect herself. But shouldn’t she have come with her family when doing something as dangerous as collecting evidence?

Instead, her own family merely wanted to sell her off, leaving her to do everything alone.

A girl who is too strong simply means that no one is willing to cherish her. Ming Lang felt a sudden surge of sympathy.

If someone could love her more, would the loneliness on her face and the solitude surrounding her diminish?

At this point, Li Zhen kept nagging, finally irritating Ming Lang enough to turn around and look at the two cowards he controlled. He released his foot and said to the shirtless Ni Jianren.

“Get lost!”

Ni Jianren’s legs went weak with fright.

He didn’t know where this ferocious man had come from. Despite appearing good-natured, handsome, and manly…

He couldn’t help but stare at Ming Lang, smitten by his look.

Ming Lang felt disgusted by this lewd gaze and narrowed his eyes. Lifting his leg, he kicked Ni Jianren hard. Ni Jianren screamed and fled without looking back.

Whimpering, handsome as he was, Ni Jianren thought Ming Lang was still too cruel and had a tendency for violence!

“Don’t go back to your room; just get out!” Ming Lang’s words made Ni Jianren flee even faster, not worrying about what Ming Lang would do to Li Zhen.

Without Ming Lang’s permission, Ni Jianren didn’t dare to return to his room to retrieve his clothes. Clad in just his underwear, he sprinted out of the hotel. It was indeed a terrifying day, first encountering a female devil and then a male fierce star!

With Ni Jianren gone, Ming Lang coldly eyed Li Zhen.

Li Zhen smiled apologetically, “Cousin, I’ll head back too.”

Heading to his room, Li Zhen didn’t expect Ming Lang to follow. The door clicked shut behind them, locked by Ming Lang, and Li Zhen’s legs began to tremble.

“Tell me about the girl.”

“Her name is Chen Xiaoqian, Ni Jianren’s friend. She likes Ni Jianren and keeps bothering him. Jianren and I are just colleagues. We came to rest at the hotel after playing mahjong. That crazy woman jealously accused us out of nowhere. You see, it’s all just a misunderstanding.”

Li Zhen cleared himself of any blame.

So, her name is Xiao Qian. What a nice name. Ming Lang’s sharp eyes scanned the room, spotting a torn condom wrapper on the floor.

Tissues were on the bedside table, and a single bed was messy with clothes on it and strewn across the floor from the bathroom.

Ming Lang couldn’t stand Li Zhen’s continued slander of Xiao Qian and finally spoke up.

“Li Zhen.”

“What’s wrong, cousin?”

His response was met with Ming Lang’s iron fist.

“Don’t insult my intelligence, and don’t besmirch the girl you’ve already hurt with your shameless actions!”

The emphasis lay in the latter sentence.

Li Zhen saw stars as Ming Lang hit him. Ming Lang’s rage intensified when he saw Xiao Qian’s lonely figure, and he felt even angrier at this despicable man.

He let Ni Jianren go because he wasn’t part of their family. However, this shameless Li Zhen was their kin, and Ming Lang would not tolerate such disgraceful acts from his own family.

So, Ming Lang decided to vent Xiao Qian’s anger in a more straightforward way.

He cracked his knuckles, punching and kicking Li Zhen like a sandbag!

“All! Ming Lang, are you crazy? I’m your cousin!”

Li Zhen was no match for Ming Lang, who was using all his strength. Li Zhen was afraid Ming Lang would pummel him to death.

“She’s just a stranger! I’m your cousin!”

“I don’t have a cousin like you!” Ming Lang threw another punch, thinking in his heart.

She’s not going to be a “stranger” forever…

After leaving the room, Xiao Qian went straight to Qiang City’s largest wholesale market for small commodities. She found a small store that supplied photo studios and purchased a simple film-developing kit. She wanted to develop the photos herself.

Returning home, the shop was locked, and Chu Xue was nowhere to be found. Xiao Qian didn’t know if she had gone to the hospital, but it didn’t matter.

Xiao Qian unlocked the door and entered her room. She locked the room, closed the curtains, turning it into a darkroom. Then, she took out the films, a developing bag, and a small bucket, arranging everything before preparing chemicals like Blix and developer powder needed to develop the photos. In her past life, she loved photography. After her daughter was born, she grew fond of the texture of film cameras, and had been adept at developing photos for her daughter.

Now, using the skills she learned for her daughter, she was getting revenge on the scumbag with ease.

She didn’t buy an enlarger since it was too expensive, but the small prints she developed were enough for people to see clearly.

When a woman becomes powerful to a certain extent, does she still need a man? Xiao Qian was thinking about this as she dealt with the matter at hand.

She felt she didn’t need a man, but the image of Ming Lang fighting for her still lingered in her mind.

He pulled her behind him, protecting her. Looking at his back, Xiao Qian felt a sense of security.

But for a man and woman together, is security enough?

Xiao Qian didn’t want to dwell on it, because she found that when she contemplated things related to Ming Lang alone, her OCD would flare up.

At this stage, Xiao Qian knew there was no going back, and she had to deal with the matter at hand without dragging it on.

She scribbled a note and placed it in the soapbox where Chen Lin hid her Admission Notice.

After storing the film negatives and putting the camera away, Xiao Qian gathered the developing equipment, put it in a bag, and went out to dispose of it.

Exiting her home, Xiao Qian went directly to a public phone booth and dialed Ni Jianren.

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

Ni Jianren received Xiao Qian’s call, touching the wounds inflicted by Ming Lang.

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