Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss-Chapter 722 - 696: What is the Flood Ferocious Beast?
Chapter 722 -696: What is the Flood Ferocious Beast?
After a few rounds, Liu Mei rubbed her temples in annoyance and complained.
“If I had just played that card earlier, you would have won again, Sister-in-law!”
Xiao Qian, with a faint smile, brushed her off, “I don’t like losing, so don’t go easy on me.”
Old Mai watched this scene and suddenly felt a bit emotional. Shuixian and Xiao Qian in the same frame, two completely different women: one with tremendous financial resources and the other with unparalleled intelligence. If he hadn’t chosen Shuixian and targeted Chen Xiaoqian instead, would he end up being as passive as he is now?
Although Xiao Qian wasn’t as wealthy as Shuixian, having a woman like her with him would have been like having an extra pair of wings, right? If he had chosen Chen Xiaoqian back then, would she have chosen him or Xiao Qiang?
Old Mai was lost in deep confusion, pondering what kind of woman he truly needed.
...
“When someone starts thinking ‘if only’ they’ve already lost. Weak people, unable to solve future dilemmas, will often think ‘if only’. The biggest lie in the world is ‘if only’.”
Yu Minglang seemed to be responding to Shuixian, but his eyes were mocking Old Mai.
Old Mai was so shameless, still trying to figure out which one he wanted. Heh, he’s not getting either! Daodao’s wife is his, and Daodao’s woman is Daodao’s. Yu Minglang’s eyes met with Old Mai, who was shocked at having his thoughts exposed. Then, he slowly raised his middle finger…
Old Mai, deep in thought, was shocked by Yu Minglang’s words and irritated by his provocative gesture.
This man was declaring war on him!
“Ladies are playing cards, shall we play a round too?”
If he could beat Yu Minglang, Old Mai really would have wanted to shout, “Come on!”
But he had tasted Yu Minglang’s fist before and didn’t dare to agree lightly, so he snorted disdainfully and turned his head away.
“Oh, too scared huh? Little brother is just a little brother.”
“Basket is just a basket.” Xiao Qian, who was playing cards, thought Yu Minglang was playing their rhyming game with her. She played a King Bomb and casually replied.
“Wife, mind your language, you’re a lady!” Yu Minglang said with a smile, reaching out to gently brush away some loose hairs from Xiao Qian’s face.
“I meant the blue of the basket, is there anything wrong with that word?” Xiao Qian pretended to be innocent.
“I don’t blame my wife for not understanding. My wife is such a gentle, highly educated intellectual. She indeed doesn’t know the vulgar slang from the lower rungs of society. Both the word and ‘little brother’ have a male genital connotation. Wife, don’t say that anymore.”
“This is so fake…” Shuixian couldn’t stand to listen any longer.
She was sure that this couple was playing a double act together to deceive people. Poor Old Mai!

Sure enough, Old Mai was greatly affected.
Previously, Xiao Qian had mentioned this ambiguous word many times, and although Old Mai didn’t know the meaning, he was brainwashed by her. He never thought that he would escape the ‘basket’ term, ruined by Xiao Qian, only to be unable to escape ‘little brother’.
He couldn’t avoid Chen Xiaoqian’s gentle blows on either side!
“The meaning of ‘little brother’ is…” Old Mai was distraught.
“Don’t get the wrong idea.” Yu Minglang said, even though his facial expression seemed to say to Old Mai, “Yes, you didn’t misunderstand, that’s what it means!”
Having been called that all day, Old Mai felt like he couldn’t control his emotions. He really wanted to beat up Yu Minglang, if only he could beat him.
Leaving with a resentful glance, Old Mai stormed out. Yu Minglang’s deep eyes shimmered with derision. Did this guy really think he could figure out his wife? Heh!
Feeling Xiao Qian watching him, Yu Minglang turned his head, and his thick eyebrows softened gently.
“What’s wrong?”
“Comparing you to him, you’re really mature.”
Xiao Qian’s sincere praise only got an arrogant reply from him, “Comparing me to him is an insult to my intelligence!”
“Even a sapling will grow into a towering tree someday. He might change, and you might become a reserved man in a decade or so.”
“Are you saying I talk too much?” Brother Lang was provoked.
Xiao Qian touched his face and said no more.
Having witnessed the future, Xiao Qian was suddenly curious about what would happen in the years to come. What would turn the still-immature Old Mai into such an outstanding person, and what would make the outwardly strong and inwardly gentle Yu Minglang so silent?
Shuixian watched the interaction between Yu Minglang and Xiao Qian, and put down her cards, deep in thought.
“You don’t have to worry, he doesn’t have the ability to deal with me, you’re safe here.” Yu Minglang could see Shuixian’s concerns and directly addressed her.
Shuixian, amazed, gestured to her ears, indicating that Old Mai may have been eavesdropping.
“He’s already beyond eavesdropping range. He’s using a frequency-based eavesdropping method, effective range is 120m-150m. According to his injured walking speed, he’s already moved beyond the range.”
“You knew already?” Shuixian felt a sense of relief. Since Xiao Qian had hinted that someone was listening in, Shuixian had felt uncomfortable. No one likes the feeling of being watched.
“Don’t think about anything, I’ll take care of you.” This had been Daodao’s mission for Yu Minglang, and he would do it at any cost.
Considering his wife, this was her sister; considering Daodao, this was his daughter-in-law. Yu Minglang had promised Daodao to protect Shuixian and would do it flawlessly.
“So you two were provoking him together to make him leave? No wonder.” Shuixian couldn’t help but admire Xiao Qian and Xiao Qiang’s tacit understanding. Without any prior notice, they could guess each other’s actions. This feeling was like when Shuixian first met Xiao Qian, when the Mei-Qiang combination perfectly meshed together without any communication, bullying Da Long with ease.
Poor Da Long, even now, still didn’t know what had happened back then. Two top students abusing one slacker student, no, a student on the brink of failing.
“Liu Mei, you go keep watch. Don’t let anyone approach, I have something to discuss with Shuixian—oh, and take your phone with you.”
Yu Minglang sent Liu Mei away to keep watch. While discussing matters with Shuixian, he was also well-aware of the time, realizing that Ma Lu should be calling Liu Mei after discussing matters with his parents.
Yu Minglang’s expression became serious as he spoke to Shuixian.
“I came here for two reasons. The first one is the mission codenamed ‘Great Flood Beast’. I’ll need your cooperation moving forward.”
“Great Flood Beast…?” Shuixian immediately thought of the scene where Old Mai was taken down by Xiao Qian. Old Mai was like a lamb toyed with by a wolf. Was he really worthy of the name ‘Great Flood Beast’?
