Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 569: Chapter 543: The Bad Egg and Jealousy

If Xiao Qian knew that buying a watermelon would bring her an old acquaintance, she definitely wouldn’t have entered this supermarket. She would never forget the surprised expressions on Yu Minglang’s and Ye Xiaoyu’s faces as they pointed at each other.

How could she describe her feelings at this moment? Xiao Qian felt it was more uncomfortable than eating rice mixed with sand – it was like cracking eggs into a bowl, with all of them being good, except for the last one being rotten.

As a result, the entire bowl of egg mixture had to be thrown away. How frustrating.

The excitement she had felt when she first saw Yu Minglang, the desire to embrace him despite her resolve, had all transformed into a high alert.

Yu Minglang had no idea that Xiao Qian was already feeling jealous. He pointed at Ye Xiaoyu and Ye Xiaoyu pointed back at him. The two reached out their hands simultaneously, as if wanting to celebrate the reunion with a high-five, just like they had done during their student days after playing basketball.

Xiao Qian quickly picked up a melon with her left hand and stuffed it into Yu Minglang’s, while her right hand quietly pulled him back, successfully separating him from Ye Xiaoyu. Then, amidst Ye Xiaoyu’s surprised expression, she quickly picked up a cucumber and stuffed it into her hand.

“Do you know my fiancé Yu Minglang?” The word fiancé was very clear in her sentence.

A woman’s sixth sense for detecting rivals was beyond that of Sherlock Holmes!

She could tell from Ye Xiaoyu’s surprised eyes that something was amiss.

“Fiancé?” Ye Xiaoyu seemed genuinely surprised.

“Xiao Mei, do you know Xiao Yu?” Yu Minglang was the only one kept in the dark, as the two women had already begun their eye fights. He still immersed himself in the joy of unexpectedly meeting an old friend.

“She’s a well-known radio host from our radio station.”

Before Xiao Qian appeared as Meiwei, Ye Xiaoyu’s show had been the top-rated one with a huge following at the radio station.

She hosted a comedy show, which many drivers loved to listen to, and they gave her the nickname Goddess of Rain. With her sweet voice and comedic talent, Ye Xiaoyu was often invited to host various events and soon gained a good reputation in the radio station.

Many people believed that those with good voices wouldn’t be good-looking, but not only was Ye Xiaoyu’s voice sweet, but she was also very pretty. Her cheerful, humorous, and talkative personality earned her many fans and great popularity at the radio station.

However, after Meiwei came on the scene and her show Soul Code’s ratings soared, Ye Xiaoyu’s comedy show received some competition.

Although their shows were at different time slots and completely different genres, the leaders and colleagues at the station often deliberately compared the two hosts.

Both were beautiful and charismatic: one sweet and cheerful, the other reserved and thought-provoking. Attractive women like these often attracted many rumors.

Xiao Qian never cared about these things. She had just joined the radio station after being caught by a teacher and was only planning to stay until her internship was over. Other people might think working at the radio station was a great job, but she didn’t care at all. She never attended any activities or meetings held by the station, and any matters were usually communicated to her by phone by her director or leader.

Xiao Qian did hear the director mention how her colleagues always compared her and Ye Xiaoyu. They said that after Xiao Qian joined the station, the Goddess of Rain felt threatened and developed a sense of crisis about her position at the station.

Xiao Qian only treated such words as a joke. To her, those trivial matters were nothing more than fleeting scenery she encountered along her journey. She was just a passerby.

But now seeing the unusual interactions between Ye Xiaoyu and Yu Minglang, Xiao Qian also became more alert.

Ye Xiaoyu didn’t expect to meet Yu Minglang again after so many years, with someone by his side, no less. That person was none other than the one who stole the spotlight at the radio station: Meiwei. While she still maintained a cheerful smile on her face, there was a tinge of sadness in it, which didn’t escape Xiao Qian’s eyes.

For some reason, the usually perceptive Yu Minglang was quite slow to understand the situation. He was clueless about what was going on.

“That’s right. This is my fiancée Chen Xiaoqian. Xiao Yu, are you married?” To him, she was just an old classmate and former basketball teammate.

“I don’t even have a boyfriend yet, let alone find such… great fortune like you.” Ye Xiaoyu glanced at Yu Minglang and then at Xiao Qian, her sadness vanished for a moment, replaced by her trademark smile. People at the station said that she loved to laugh and many men liked her because they thought she was candid and always cheerful, innocent and unaffected.

“Meiwei, do you want this watermelon? Let’s give this to you. When I used to play basketball with Minglang, he often treated me to watermelons. I’ll treat this one as a repayment for his past kindness.” Ye Xiaoyu pretended to be generous.

Yu Minglang didn’t think much of it and was about to take it for Xiao Qian, who loved watermelon, when she pinched him on the waist and gave him a beaming smile.

“Just give it to her. It’s not every day that old classmates meet, and who knows if you’ll see her again in the future since you live in different cities. Besides, he’s here with me now, and I can buy more watermelons whenever I want. Dear, let’s pick some melons instead. We’ve had enough watermelons lately. Let’s try something else!” Xiao Qian directed the last sentence at Yu Minglang.

Oh my! She called him ‘dear’!

Xiao Qiang was ecstatic and almost felt like he was in heaven. He began to load the melons into a bag.

Xiao Qian’s confident gaze met Ye Xiaoyu’s, which was already struggling to maintain her smile and barely managing to hide a wave of the jealousy.

Don’t even mention a melon. On the cucumber that only she had used, the words “Chen Xiaoqian exclusive use for eternity” were engraved. How dare you call that flirting?

After finishing their shopping, Yu Minglang saw that his old friend was still standing in front of the fruit stall, giving him a complicated look, and he asked her, “Aren’t you buying anything else?”

“No, I don’t need to. You two go ahead, I’ll be leaving.” Ye Xiaoyu couldn’t stay any longer, because she felt like she could no longer control her emotions.

She had maintained her cheerful girl persona for so long in public, and she couldn’t let it crumble now.

As soon as she left, Xiao Qian’s face turned dark.

Yu Minglang, completely oblivious to the tension between the two women, looked at Xiao Qian and asked, “Do you still want to eat watermelon, Xiao Mei? Let’s buy it together.”

“Haven’t you bought enough?” She stuffed the bag into his arms and stormed out with a dark face.

Yu Minglang had no idea what was going on and quickly paid for the groceries before rushing out to catch up with her.

“Xiao Mei, what’s wrong?” Yu Minglang grabbed her arm in front of the car.

Xiao Qian clenched her teeth and snarled, “Who would’ve thought that the Xiao Yu you used to play basketball with would be a girl?!”

Who the fuck would think that Xiao Yu was a girl?! She had always thought the person was a guy!

“I didn’t even remember it myself until you mentioned it. She used to be quite a tomboy in high school, with short hair, and I never considered her a woman. I barely recognized her. She really has changed a lot.”

“Heh heh… So you mean to say, you skipped classes during your senior year of high school to hang out and play basketball with a girl every day, then bought her watermelons to eat? And last night, you even dreamed about her?!”

“Well, she was the only one who would play with me at the time, since Hai Zhao and the others had bad grades and couldn’t leave school. I don’t even remember buying her watermelon. But the dream was… ”

He wanted to say that last night’s dream wasn’t just about Ye Xiaoyu, but also about many other high school classmates. Perhaps it had something to do with the College Entrance Exam season approaching, which reminded him of high school life.

However, Xiao Qian did not have the patience to listen to his explanation any longer.

Well done, Yu Minglang! You really did a great job!
