Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss - Chapter 445

Chapter 445: Chapter 419: Like a Kid (Thank you to Great Alliance Master Shui Yuqing for the +6 updates)

Yu Minglang was well-prepared.

But then Xiao Qian’s teacher fell ill.

The guest room was canceled.

The cleaning lady pushed her cleaning cart in, and seeing the marks on the window, she shook her head and sighed, “Such a tall, handsome young man, how come… only 5 minutes?”

No wonder when they left, the girl had an angry look on her face. The cleaning lady, who had seen many such things, was used to it…

Yu Minglang and Xiao Qian arrived at the hospital and went to the emergency room, where Liu Li was pacing anxiously.

“How is the teacher?”

Xiao Qian asked eagerly.

“Still being rescued…” Liu Li’s face was filled with helplessness and anxiety, his usual brightness replaced by tension.

“How did she get sick?!” Xiao Qian remembered that her teacher had heart disease, but it wasn’t serious. At least in the years she had been with her teacher, she had never seen her fall ill.

“I argued with her today, it’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have argued with her…”

Liu Li said regretfully.

When Professor Liu found the hospital papers he had hidden in his room, she questioned him about what he was going to do. Liu Li, realizing he couldn’t keep it from her any longer, finally told her the truth.

Professor Liu strongly opposed the idea, and the mother and son argued. As they clashed, Liu Li brought up his eldest brother’s situation. As a result, Professor Liu lost consciousness, panicking Liu Li, who quickly called his father for help. However, his father was out of town and couldn’t make it in time.

It was then that he thought of seeking help from Ming Lang.

Professor Liu’s heart condition was triggered by emotional agitation, and after the emergency treatment, she was out of immediate danger and transferred to a ward for observation.

Xiao Qian and Yu Minglang handled the hospital admission procedures for her. When they returned, they saw Liu Li standing outside the ward, pacing back and forth, not daring to go in.

“Why don’t you go in?” Xiao Qian asked.

“I’m afraid my mom will get angry when she sees me…” Liu Li was feeling extremely regretful and remorseful about his triggering words and the situation they had caused.

“True, you should go back then, I’ll stay here with Yu Minglang tonight.”

“I won’t go back, I’ll stay here.”

Seeing his insistence, Xiao Qian didn’t force him and went into the ward with Yu Minglang, who gently patted Liu Li’s shoulder and tried to comfort him.

“Don’t be too hard on yourself. The older generation’s ideas are different from ours. Communicate more with your mom, there’s no overnight feud between mother and son.” He often got into trouble when he was a kid and had many disagreements with his parents. Compared to him, Liu Li wasn’t particularly bad off.

Liu Li recognized Yu Minglang as his brother’s friend and asked admiringly, “Do you know my brother?”

“Your brother was my senior and also a very good friend of mine.” Yu Minglang also had a good impression of this younger brother.

A good friend’s brother is family too.

“I also want to be like my brother. Who wants to be an urban management officer?” Liu Li complained.

After failing the university entrance exam, Liu Li was assigned to the Urban Management Department, officially hired, but he didn’t like this job at all. He felt no sense of accomplishment doing the same monotonous work every day.

“Your brother was an exceptional man and a hero of our unit. Even if you don’t become a soldier, you can still make a difference in ordinary positions. Jobs are neither high nor low, only the responsibilities are different.”

Yu Minglang sincerely advised, having heard from Xiao Qian on the way over that Liu Li had argued with Professor Liu over wanting to give up his stable job to become a soldier. To be honest, he didn’t want Liu Li’s life to be too full of ups and downs either. He was the Lone Wolf’s brother and Uncle Liu’s only descendant.

“Why don’t you find an easy job then?” Liu Li retorted unconvinced.

In his memory, his elder brother was a towering hero, and he wanted to be like him too. When he was young, his parents always asked him to learn from his brother, but once he grew up and wanted to follow his path, his mother vehemently opposed it.

“Whether it’s an easy job or a hard one, they are just titles given by others. If everyone pursued an extraordinary life and no one served as urban management, maintaining the city’s appearance, what would the city become? Everyone contributes to maintaining the city’s peace and stability equally. There’s no high or low in jobs, only whether it suits oneself or not.”

Yu Minglang earnestly advised with words from the bottom of his heart, but Liu Li could not take it in.

“It’s easy for you to say they are the same because you have everything. It’s like rich people not knowing the hunger of the poor.”

Seeing his determined attitude, Yu Minglang stopped advising and just patted his shoulder, then went into the ward.

Inside the ward, the now awake Professor Liu lay silently in bed. Xiao Qian held a cotton swab, carefully dipping it in water to moisten her dry lips.

Her movements were gentle, and there was none of her usual domineering manner. She was patient with the people she respected.

This side of her revealed a different kind of tenderness.

“Let…”

The professor spoke, and Xiao Qian hurriedly leaned in to hear her weak, complete sentence: “Let Liu Li… get lost!”

With so much effort, she managed to say just that. One had to admire her determination.

Pff! Xiao Qian thought she should be serious at the moment, but she couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Her teacher could be like a child sometimes.

She patted the teacher soothingly, “Alright, I’ll ask him to leave right now. You focus on recovering. If you still feel annoyed, I’ll ask Yu Minglang to hit him – Yu Minglang’s punches could break a brick, I’ll make him bleed for upsetting you.”

Professor Liu widened her eyes and grabbed Xiao Qian’s sleeve in shock. Xiao Qian burst into laughter, “I’m teasing you, don’t worry, everything’s fine!”

Yu Minglang silently watched on the side, afraid that Qian Bao would provoke her teacher into another heart attack.

Xiao Qian actually understood Professor Liu well. She treaded carefully on the professor’s psychological boundaries.

After waking up, Professor Liu had been lying there in silence all along, not saying a word. Xiao Qian peeled an apple for her, using a fruit knife to cut it into small pieces in a careful and patient way. Yu Minglang gave Xiao Qian a look and walked out to continue chatting with Liu Li.

Liu Li was a young man with passion and rebellion in his heart. He was unhappy with the stable job his mother had arranged for him, but he was also very filial. Like all children his age, he yearned to break free from his parents’ control but still felt connected to them in love.

Yu Minglang accompanied him and talked, mainly listening to Liu Li while trying to figure out the young man’s own psychological turning point. After a while, Liu Li suddenly asked Yu Minglang.
