Volume One, Chapter 13: Boss Ba and Tiantian

While pondering this, Yang Qianrou saw Qin Wenze carrying that annoying little child looking over in their direction. She was about to put on a charming and captivating expression when Qin Wenze said, “Go find somewhere to stay for now. Later, we’ll go to the hospital to check if Duoduo is hurt. If anything happens, you’ll be responsible. Don’t even think about running away. If I, Qin Wenze, want to find someone, I will, no matter what. It won’t be good for anyone’s reputation.”

Jiang Duoduo, sitting in his arm, opened her mouth wide and looked at Qin Wenze. The fear and grievance on Yang Qianrou’s face no longer caught Qin Wenze’s attention. He looked down at Duoduo and, softening his voice, asked, “What’s wrong, Duoduo?”

Duoduo immediately clapped her little hands on Qin Wenze’s arm and said loudly, “Daddy boss! Daddy boss said it like this! Uncle is daddy boss!”

Qin Wenze was even more puzzled by her answer. Several “daddy boss”s repeated in his head, like an endless loop.

Then Jiang Cheng came over to take Duoduo and kindly explained, “That’s a character from a TV drama she loves to watch. He’s a domineering CEO.”

Duoduo’s eyes sparkled, “Yes! Daddy boss and Sweetie!”

The little girl glanced at Qin Wenze, then at Jiang Cheng, and suddenly realized: so, Uncle Giggly is Daddy Boss, and Mom is the runaway Sweetie!

Then her gaze shifted to Yang Qianrou — this must be the bad woman who bullies Mom, the bad woman trying to snatch Daddy Boss from Sweetie!

Qin Wenze, of course, had never seen that drama and was a bit confused, but since he rarely showed emotion, he still appeared calm and composed.

He stepped aside as Jiang Cheng tried to take Duoduo and said, “I see. Alright, let’s go to the hospital now. The sooner we finish the check-up, the sooner we can be at ease.”

Fearing Jiang Cheng might try to take Duoduo again, he strode off toward the car. In Duoduo’s mind, this practical Daddy Boss was thinking: [What drama is this? I’ve never heard of it. I’ll have my secretary download it tonight and watch it all at once. Next time I meet my daughter, I can talk about the plot.]

Hearing that, Duoduo perked up. She decided she would add Daddy Boss to their chat group.

Indeed, Duoduo had a separate little group chat with the grandmothers, one Jiang Cheng had set up after overhearing their awkward phone conversations.

Seeing the matter settled, Jiang Rui shook his head and said to Jiang Cheng, “Let’s go. The check-up should be done early. Once this is over, we won’t have to worry about troubles from their family anymore. Get in the car; we’ll follow.”

Jiang Cheng didn’t want to share a car with Qin Wenze but wasn’t comfortable leaving Duoduo alone with him.

After a brief hesitation, she made up her mind and quickly followed Qin Wenze’s pace, turning to Jiang Rui, “Brother, follow us in your car. I want to watch over Duoduo!”

Yang Qianrou hurried over as well. Though threatened earlier by Qin Wenze, she was certain the cursed little girl was not injured.

The aftermath of the previous car accident hadn’t been fully tracked, and the current situation was out of complete control.

This time, she vowed to stay on site and ensure everything was handled thoroughly.

Soon, only Jiang Rui was left in place.

He glanced at the group near the car, then at the direction where his car was parked, and immediately took off running.

He needed to hurry or he’d be left behind, not knowing where to look for them.

He couldn’t let Jiang Cheng and Duoduo be bullied by the Qin family.

Yang Qianrou reached the car and tried to open the door but found it locked from the inside.

She knocked on the window anxiously, “Brother Wenze, Auntie, I haven’t gotten in yet!”

Only then did the window slowly roll down, revealing the face of Madam Qin.

Her smile was still kind, but her refusal was unequivocal: “Xiao Yang, the car is already full. Why don’t you take a taxi yourself?”

She shifted slightly to show the interior: the driver and a bodyguard wearing sunglasses sat in the front seats; in the back, Madam Qin and Jiang Cheng sat on either side, with Qin Wenze holding Duoduo on his lap, his model-like long legs curled up, sitting pitifully in the middle but wearing a calm, satisfied expression.

At a glance, it looked like a family of four going out for an outing, completely closed off to outsiders.

Just as Yang Qianrou was about to demand the bodyguard get out so she could sit, Qin Wenze impatiently said to the driver, “Alright, close the windows and head to the hospital.”

[We still have to check if Duoduo is hurt!]

The driver didn’t dare delay and pressed the window close button immediately.

Through the rising car window, Madam Qin apologized to Yang Qianrou, “Sorry, Xiao Yang, there really are no free seats. Overloading isn’t safe, so we’re leaving first. You should go home and rest; we’ll contact you when we’re done.”

Though it sounded caring, combined with Qin Wenze’s earlier threats, it was the same message: don’t even think about running away. If something happens, you’ll be held responsible.

Yang Qianrou barely had time to withdraw her hand from the window as the car started moving away.

She looked back quickly. Jiang Rui was also heading to the hospital and could give her a ride!

But Jiang Rui disliked her the most — there was no way he would stop to give her a chance.

He had just started his car and, seeing the Qin family’s car move off, quickly followed.

When his car came near Yang Qianrou, he deliberately made a small circle around her, passing by, then sped ahead, cursing under his breath: “This is a lane! What are you standing there blocking the way for?!”

As the two cars drove off one after another, Yang Qianrou was left smelling only the car fumes.

Frustrated, she threw her bag forward hard, stomped her foot, and before she could even curse aloud, she let out a sharp cry, swayed sideways, and fell to the ground.

Her shoe heel had caught in a crack in the pavement, and with that forceful step, the heel broke off!

Rubbing the scrape on her leg, Yang Qianrou cursed her luck. Wearing a broken shoe and holding the detached heel, she wobbled to her feet and bent down to pick up the bag she had just thrown.

She had acted impulsively. If the bag’s outer skin got scuffed, its resale value would drop a lot!

Before she could even touch the bag, a car came speeding toward her. If she hadn’t dodged quickly, she would have ended up bleeding again today.

This driver was far more irritable than Jiang Rui. Rolling down the window, he cursed loudly: “Damn your ancestors! If you want to die, get the hell out of my way! What the hell are you doing standing there shitting? This is a lane, not a sidewalk! Or are you not even human, purposely crawling under my wheels? Trying to scam me and it backfired!”

After the tirade, the car sped away.

Yang Qianrou’s beloved bag was now a wreck, and the phone inside was a useless piece of scrap.

Damn it!

After maintaining her composure for so long, she finally lost it.
