Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 843 - 817: Qian Strikes Again with a New Ploy

"What exactly are you guys doing?"

Qiuqiu had been forced to eat vegetarian hotpot for two days—to emphasize the severity of the punishment, they didn’t even provide the base ingredients or sesame paste, just boiled cabbage in plain water to keep from starving. Eating vegetarian food had made him so muddle-headed that he couldn’t think straight.

"My mom has already agreed to your great romance! Qiuqiu, don’t you want to go out and see my mom?"

Qian emphasized the word "go out," and Qiuqiu instantly understood.

Oh my! Reinforcements have arrived!

That’s great!

Goodbye, no showers!

Goodbye, lost freedom!

Most importantly, goodbye to eating boiled cabbage in hot weather!

"Ah! Fugui, you’re so handsome?" Qiuqiu exaggeratedly said.

"Ah! Qiuqiu, you’re still so beautiful!"

The two flattered each other, then simultaneously turned away, suppressing the discomfort in their stomachs, both thinking, is everything just for the sake of freedom?

"You guys..." The aunt looked back and forth, feeling increasingly uneasy, but couldn’t pinpoint what was strange about Qiuqiu and Fugui holding each other.

"We are family!" Qiuqiu and Fugui said in unison.

"Family what?" The aunt was puzzled.

"They mean they’re family! It’s bird language!" Aka took the opportunity to speak.

The aunt looked at Aka suspiciously, her expression saying, aren’t you supposed to be the foreigner speaking bird language?

"Yes, true love is flawless!" Liumei echoed.

This crazy world... Liumei and Fugui exchanged glances, silently wondering together if everything was just for the sake of freedom!

"Aunt, please bring some meat, base ingredients, and sauces. My friend is here; you can’t let my dear eat boiled cabbage, can you? Also, turn on the air conditioner, it’s unbearably hot."

"Your dad cut the plug on the air conditioner to let you see but not feel it, torturing you from within."

"Haha..."

Qian was amused and disgusted by the ridiculous idea.

However, the aunt still called someone to bring a fan, added some meat and base ingredients, along with sesame paste and chili oil, and a group sat down to eat hotpot.

The aunt watched suspiciously from the side. People couldn’t talk freely, so they pretended to eat hotpot as if nothing happened.

Qian gave Aka a look, and Aka made an effort to say a string of English, confusing the aunt thoroughly.

"What are you saying?" She was afraid they might be up to something, so she kept a close watch.

"She said Qiuqiu and Yun Chang are truly a match made in heaven," Qian said, pushing her glasses and lying.

The aunt was skeptical, while Qian shifted her position, blocking the aunt’s view, giving Aka the chance to act, and continued earnestly talking to the aunt.

"Aunt, I see dark circles on your face, have you encountered any bad things lately?"

"No... Can you read faces?"

"A little, I even read for official matters. Does your family keep flowers?"

Nowadays, who doesn’t have some flowers or plants at home, especially in the village.

"Yes, why?"

"Go home and pluck the leaves of the third pot of flowers on your windowsill, making it even-numbered. It can ensure peacefulness for a year. Really, look, your face is not only dark, but your hand is hot and sweaty, with marks on the palm, oh dear, tut tut tut..."

Qian’s persuasive skills were increasingly strong, leaving the aunt stunned, shifting her focus to Qian, while Aka took advantage of the aunt’s distraction to quickly pull out a sodium bicarbonate tablet from his pocket and pop it into Qiuqiu’s mouth.

Liumei and Fugui watched intently, very nervous.

Aka, having been a special agent, was skilled in these tricks. Tools and resources were easy to find, while Qian continued convincing the aunt. Qiuqiu recalled what Aka had instructed in English earlier and immediately fell to the ground, convulsing. The sodium bicarbonate tablet made him look like he was foaming at the mouth, which was quite frightening.

"Ah!!" Qian exaggeratedly shouted, and the aunt was dumbfounded.

"Is this a seizure? Hurry, call an ambulance!"

"When did Qiuqiu have seizures?" The aunt only knew Qiuqiu was as healthy as a young bull, and this scene left her speechless.

"It’s because your family’s flower leaves are odd-numbered, cursing him! I told you to pluck the leaves... Hurry and call 120!"

Qian pulled out her phone, called Bai Jin waiting outside, and pretended to say, "120? We have someone sick, foaming at the mouth, hurry and send a car! Location is... What? You have a car nearby?"

Qian exaggeratedly glanced at Qiuqiu, who was still convulsing on the ground, foaming all the while.

The aunt was completely freaked out.

"That’s great, hurry over, the person is foaming!"

Hanging up the phone, Qian patted the aunt’s shoulder, "You’re lucky, although your family flower made Qiuqiu foam, but maybe because you usually accumulate virtues, there’s conveniently an ambulance nearby, arriving in a few minutes!"

"Ah... ah!" The aunt’s mind was blank from shock, staring at convulsing, foaming Qiuqiu, taking several seconds to react.

"I need help! Someone help, Qiuqiu is in trouble!"

The call brought several people who were equally stunned at the sight.

A burly man with some medical knowledge said, "Is this epilepsy? I’ve seen someone have an epileptic seizure like this. I told you not to lock him up or just eat cabbage; at least give him sesame paste. Eating hotpot without sesame paste is a sin..."

"Hurry, call an ambulance!"

"Already called!"

"Should we let the village doctor come take a look?" Someone suggested.

The room was noisy, people talking over each other, creating total chaos.

Someone wanted to check on Qiuqiu, but Fugui showcased his superb acting skills, "Don’t come over! You’ve harmed him enough. If anything happens to him, I’ll ruin my face with hotpot soup and die with him!"

Terrified, no one dared to move.

Liumei secretly gave thumbs up in admiration, "Amazing, my brother!"

Fugui felt quite proud, not revealing to others that, despite his quietness, he had been in the drama club at university!

While the room descended into chaos, the sound of an ambulance was heard outside.

"So quickly?" Someone wondered.

It was the countryside; it would take at least an hour to drive to the city, how could it be so fast?

"When I called the ambulance, they said they had a car nearby coming over. Stop staring and hurry to carry him out!"

Qian commanded, and some people helped carry Qiuqiu as they messily walked out.

The aunt was dazed for a good while, watching them reach the stairs before suddenly recalling that such a big deal required informing Qiuqiu’s dad!
