Too Late to Regret, She’s Now With the Big Boss - Chapter 33

“Does Assistant Bai also believe in the idea of borrowed luck?” Ye Qianqian asked uncertainly. She had learned about it from the barrage comments.

“He doesn’t know, but I do. Don’t worry, sweetheart. Both of you, stab her fingertips hard with needles, keep going until she tells the truth.”

After giving the ruthless order, Lu Jingchen covered Ye Qianqian’s eyes with one hand and wrapped his other arm around her waist.

[I’m dying of laughter! The big boss has no clue about borrowed luck, he just doesn’t want Bai Lang stealing the spotlight in front of his wife.]

[That’s not the point. The real question is, how does the female antagonist know her fate was swapped? Can she see the barrage comments?]

[She definitely can’t see the comments. She knows someone borrowed her luck, but she doesn’t realize Xie Yun swapped her destiny with the female lead’s!]

Ye Qianqian: I can see the comments, and I know Xie Yun swapped my fate. That’s exactly why I’m leading her to confess!

[The female antagonist’s been down on her luck for over twenty years, she must’ve noticed her luck was being siphoned off. Otherwise, why would she secretly earn money on the side?]

[Huh? Since when did she secretly earn money? Wasn’t she shamelessly freeloading at the male lead’s place?]

[Didn’t you hear the Song family mention the ‘Wicked Kou’ Miracle Doctor earlier? My bet’s on the female antagonist. Seems like she’s not as dumb as she seems, just cursed with terrible luck!]

Ye Qianqian nodded tearfully. Exactly! She had to endure humiliation just to survive, life was too hard!

“Aiyo! you heartless monsters! Just kill me already!” Xie Yun’s furious roar echoed through the basement.

“Want to die? Keep dreaming. Confess honestly, who helped you steal our madam’s luck? Then maybe I’ll consider letting you go.”

As he spoke, Bai Lang picked up another foot-long needle and waved it in front of Xie Yun’s face. “Going to talk?”

“I’d rather die than speak!” Xie Yun shut her eyes arrogantly. She knew that once she fell into the hands of the Living King of Hell, whether she talked or not, death was inevitable.

But the excruciating pain forced a scream out of her. “Aiyo! please, just give me a quick death!”

“Want a quick death? Then start talking!” Ding Fan kicked Xie Yun’s skull, making tears stream down her face.

Yet she still stubbornly cried out, “I don’t know what you’re talking about! I didn’t do anything!”

“She’s not afraid of death. Assistant Bai, stab the back wall of her armpit. If one needle isn’t enough, add more.” Ye Qianqian peeked out from Lu Jingchen’s embrace to instruct.

“You b- ah! I’m a high-ranking executive at Ye Corporation! President Ye will avenge me!” Xie Yun clenched her teeth, enduring the pain as she roared.

“A Ye Corp executive? You really think I don’t know your relationship with President Ye? Ye Qingyan is your biological daughter, isn’t she?” Bai Lang sneered.

“When did you find out? So, what if you know?” Xie Yun glared at Ye Qianqian, a trace of arrogance and disdain flashing in her eyes.

Ye Qianqian felt inexplicably irritated by her gaze. “Xie Yun, don’t tell me you think you’ve lived a lavish life, so dying now is worth it?”

“You b- how do you know what I’m thinking?!” Xie Yun’s expression turned horrified as she stared at Ye Qianqian.

Ye Qianqian wanted to say: Of course, she knew from the barrage comments but she’d never tell Xie Yun that.

So, she put on a mysterious air and said, “You think you’ve already enjoyed everything life had to offer.

“The refined and elegant President Ye fell head over heels for you with just a crook of your finger.

“The noble and upright Eldest Young Master Song is infatuated with your daughter, while I served him for three years only to be dumped?”

“You and your daughter are both so proud of yourselves. You think dying for Ye Qingyan is a worthy death, am I right?”

“You… aren’t you supposed to be an idiot? How do you know everything?” Xie Yun stared at Ye Qianqian in horror.

Before this, she had never once regarded Ye Qianqian raised in the countryside as worthy of her attention.

Deep down, she believed: What kind of trash was that unlucky Ye Qianqian?

Just an undergrad who fluked her way into a prestigious university!

Meanwhile, her own daughter was a top graduate from a renowned foreign institution.

And as for herself, she was even more impressive!

Though she came from the countryside, she not only stole the husband of the noble-born Lady Ye but also lived a far more comfortable and carefree life than her.

She was successful in her career, admired at the company, and after attaching herself to President Ye, she never lacked money and never had to lift a finger for household chores.

She had a daughter but didn’t have to raise her.

Unmarried and free from control, successful married men fought to love and spoil her. She had indulged in wealth and luxury to her heart’s content.

Now, for her daughter’s sake, she was ready to die a worthy death.

Xie Yun, resolved to die, burst into mad laughter, hoping to provoke Third Master Lu into kicking her to death then she’d be free.

“What does it matter if you know? You still wouldn’t dare kill me! Ye Qianqian, do you really think marrying Third Master Lu means you’ve latched onto a powerful backer?”

“Did you know he’s known throughout Rongcheng as the Merciless King of Hell, who disowns even his own family? No one in high society dares to form ties with him, let alone marry him.”

“The Merciless King is infamous in the circle for being cold-blooded and unfeeling, nothing more than a machine that only knows work, day and night.”

Xie Yun’s blunt truths made Lu Jingchen both guilty and furious, his anger rising like flames.

Just as he was about to explode, a crisp, melodious voice rang out from his arms.

“My husband is wonderful. The more you talk like this, the more it shows how jealous you are. Did you know, Third Master is someone Ye Qingyan could never have, no matter how hard she tried~”

“Impossible! I would never let Yanyan marry a monster like him! I have no interest in being the mother-in-law of the King of Hell!” Xie Yun retorted furiously.

On the wedding day, she had seen her daughter’s eyes light up at the sight of the King of Hell, even acting out of line right then.

When she questioned Yanyan, she was met with a disdainful glare. That was when she realized her daughter was no longer the obedient girl who followed her mother’s every word.

“Bai Lang, call her daughter and tell her to come to Lanjing Garden immediately,” Lu Jingchen ordered angrily.

Seeing Bai Lang make the call, Ye Qianqian smiled sweetly. “Husband, let’s wait for her in the living room.”

“You really want her to come to our home?” Lu Jingchen asked darkly, his tone unmistakably laced with anger.

“Of course, I’m looking forward to her visit…” Before she could finish twisting the knife in front of Xie Yun.

Lu Jingchen’s hoarse voice cut in with one word: “Enough.”

He didn’t want to lose his temper with her, but he couldn’t hold back. Did she want another woman here so badly because she didn’t want him anymore?

The more Lu Jingchen thought about it, the angrier he became. The scorching heat of his fury filled the air.

His rage was like a bomb about to explode, threatening everyone in the room.

Bai Lang and Ding Fan exchanged glances: This is bad. The boss is mad at his wife. Who can calm him down now?

[Would the female antagonist really not know why the big boss is angry?]

Ye Qianqian: I know, I know! Isn’t the boss just furious because Xie Yun provoked him?

Once Ye Qingyan arrives, she’ll make sure to thoroughly torment the so-called female lead then the boss will be happy again.

[Hahaha, the female antagonist isn’t jealous, and the big boss is furious. If she doesn’t coax him soon, he’s definitely going to unlock all 88 positions tonight.]

[Perfect, the female antagonist is clueless and has no idea the big boss is angry precisely because she didn’t get jealous. Can’t wait for nightfall.]

At the Song family’s new home.

Ye Qingyan, who had been tearfully explaining herself, immediately brightened up upon receiving Bai Lang’s call and said cheerfully, “Alright, I’ll be right there.”
