Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 483: Chapter 457: Calling Out to Appear

“What did you say? Your brother’s fiancée is a very irritable woman?” Xiao Qian quickly caught the key point.

Liu Li nodded, “Yes, that’s what I heard from Zeng. When my brother called me, he also said that she has a bad temper and told me not to provoke her when I meet her.”

Unfortunately, he never got to meet her before his brother had an accident, and there was no more news about that woman afterward.

If it weren’t for Zheng Xu’s authoritative investigation, Xiao Qian would even doubt that the Hu Meijing mentioned by Liu Li and Rong Yuan is not the same person she has come into contact with.

Getting information from Liu Li’s side seemed to give Xiao Qian a subtle hint, so she didn’t stay any longer. Making an excuse to say goodbye to Liu Li, she went straight to Hu Meijing’s kindergarten.

It was naptime for the children, and after Xiao Qian explained her reason for coming, she quickly met Hu Meijing.

“Am I disturbing you?”

“Not at all, I have some time now. Why did Dr. Chen suddenly come by? Has Chu Xuan’s condition worsened?” Hu Meijing’s hair was tied with a colorful handkerchief, and her long braid hung down, making her look particularly gentle.

“That’s not it. I just happened to be passing by and remembered you work here, so I stopped by. Actually, I have a favor to ask.”

“Feel free to ask. Chu Xuan is much better now after your treatment. I don’t even know how to thank you. You don’t even want money.”

Xiao Qian thought to herself: if I dared to accept your money, Teacher would definitely scold me for a long time. That old lady is such a stickler.

“Here’s the thing, my fiancé’s birthday is coming up soon, and I want to give him a gift that I made myself. I saw the little yarn doll on the teacher’s cabinet and thought it was really nice. Could you please teach me how to make it?”

Hu Meijing’s eyebrows relaxed, showing a graceful smile.

“I thought it was something serious, so it’s like this. You can use a ring stitch, and then…”

Xiao Qian couldn’t understand what she was saying at all. It felt like a foreign language. She was good at mental activities but weak at hands-on tasks. However, she pretended to understand and nodded along with Hu Meijing’s train of thought.

“…with 25 short stitches without increasing or decreasing, it should be done. If you don’t remember, I can write it down, and you can call me when you’re making it.”

Hu Meijing found a pen and paper, wrote and explained at the same time, Xiao Qian forcefully pretended to understand. As she tried to find a way to lure useful information from Hu Meijing’s mouth, she casually agreed.

“This dog is so cute.”

As Hu Meijing wrote, she suddenly looked up at Xiao Qian and said earnestly.

“This isn’t a dog, it’s a wolf. When you buy the eyes, tell the seller to get them like mine, with wolf eyes.”

“A wolf?”

“Yes… I only know how to make it like this. I call it Lone Wolf. Don’t you think that this doll has a particularly proud and unruly character despite being a wolf? It has a different kind of gentleness.”

“…Why is it Lone Wolf, not any other wolf?” Xiao Qian asked, her eyes staring closely at Hu Meijing.

Unaffected by the attention, Hu Meijing continued writing, “It’s Lone Wolf. I like Lone Wolf, I like…” freewebnσvel.cøm

Xiao Qian was surprised. According to her experience, if Hu Meijing did something to Lone Wolf, she should have deliberately avoided mentioning his name. How could she casually say Lone Wolf’s name?

In order to test her, Xiao Qian decided to be more bold.

“Do you know why I want to make this for my fiancé? Because he has a good friend who has a nickname called Lone Wolf.”

“Really? That’s great. It’s perfect for a gift then.” Hu Meijing looked up and gave Xiao Qian a sincere smile.

Xiao Qian stared at her unblinkingly, trying to read any traces of guilt in her eyes.

But there were none. It was an incredibly clear gaze.

Even a cunning person who is good at concealing emotions cannot escape detection around Boss Qian. However, Hu Meijing seemed even more calm than Boss Qian.

“My fiancé’s friend is called Lone Wolf. What do you think of this name?” Xiao Qian made her words even more straightforward. If Hu Meijing didn’t have any emotional reaction at this point, there must be a problem.

“It sounds rebellious and untamed. It’s an interesting name.” Hu Meijing said sincerely, handing over the paper she had written on.

“Meijing, I have something on this Sunday, can you cover my shift?” A teacher dressed in a seductive style came over.

“But I promised my godmother that I’d go to her house for dinner this Sunday.” Hu Meijing said with difficulty.

“I know you’re the best, pretty please~”

The female teacher appeared polite but was quite assertive. It seemed like she had switched shifts with Hu Meijing many times using this tactic.

“She’s not free, go find someone else.” Xiao Qian cut in.

“Who are you?” The female teacher challenged Xiao Qian. Hu Meijing was the teacher with the best temper in the kindergarten, so it was only natural to ask her for favors others wouldn’t do.

“I’m her godmother’s student. She’s not free on Sunday, so don’t bother her.”

The dissatisfied female teacher left, muttering under her breath. Hu Meijing smiled apologetically at Xiao Qian. “Thanks for the help.”

“Just reject others straightforwardly when you don’t like something. You don’t like it, so why do you let others take advantage of you?” Xiao Qian asked.

“That’s just my personality. I don’t like to argue with others, and I’d rather give in when I can. There is nothing wrong with that… Forbearance leads to a vast sea and open sky; retreat leads to broad horizons and a wide world.” As Hu Meijing said this, it seemed like something stabbed her in the heart.

Her eyes welled up with tears, as if on their own accord, and twin rows of clear tears slid down.

“I’m sorry, Dr. Chen, I’m not feeling well… I’d like to go sit down for a moment.”

Noticing her blunder, Hu Meijing wiped away her tears and apologized to Xiao Qian.

“It’s okay, I apologize for disturbing you. I’ll leave you to your work.”

Xiao Qian didn’t miss her tears. Rather than being touched, it seemed more like a conditioned response.

The words Hu Meijing said were not her own; someone must have strongly stimulated her with them, and that person was most likely Lone Wolf.

Leaving Hu Meijing’s school, Xiao Qian returned to the hotel. As she summarized the information she had gleaned, a conclusion seemed imminent.

Hu Meijing wasn’t pretending; she really did forget about Lone Wolf and her personality had changed a lot. But deep inside, she still remembered him.

When she created the Lone Wolf toys and named them, her affection for them was not something she could fake.

Her memory of the pain was hidden, but her subconscious still remembered the things she once liked.

If Hu Meijing had lost her memory, what kind of psychological issue would cause such a reaction? Xiao Qian quickly went through several possibilities in her mind.

Excluding multiple personalities, excluding schizophrenia, excluding…

That’s when her phone screen started flashing. Picking up, she saw Zheng Xu’s number jumping on the screen.

What does Zheng Xu want at this time?
