Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 495: Chapter 469: Sorry to Bother You (Monthly Pass 900+ Updates)

The man opened the door, and Xiao Qian was right in front of him. As Xiao Qian saw the corner of his mouth twitching, the man, on the other hand, was slightly startled after seeing her.

What a clean girl!

It was a kind of cleanliness that came from her temperament, combined with her beautiful face that always attracted more attention from the opposite sex. The man seemed to realize that he was a bit rude and composed himself to address Xiao Qian seriously.

“Do you need any help?”

“No, thank you.”

“Oh.” The man closed the door again, and after a minute, opened it for Xiao Qian and handed her a chair.

“Wait here. Actually, I wanted to invite you into my house to wait, but considering that I’m alone, it’s better for a gentleman to avoid suspicions. So…”

“So you won’t get a wife until you’re in your 40s, haha.” Xiao Qian muttered softly.

“What did you say?”

“Uh, I said thank you.” Xiao Qian showed a stiff smile.

“You’re welcome. My name is Liao Yunchang, and I live in this house. I’ve never seen you before. Are you related to Auntie Jia?” As neighbors, he had a good relationship with Jia Xiufang. Jia Xiufang was kind-hearted and always liked to have a good relationship with her neighbors wherever she went.

“I’m her daughter.”

“I’ve heard so much about you, and indeed, you are as beautiful and talented as they say.” He had often heard Jia Xiufang praising her daughter, whom he had only heard of but never seen before. She couldn’t be described with just the word “pretty,” as she looked like a girl who naturally carried the demeanor of a literature-loving person. So he gave Xiao Qian his highest evaluation of talent and looks, at least his own highest.

“Thank you…”

Heh, that wasn’t how he had evaluated himself in his past life. How had this guy described himself back then?

Xiao Qian tried hard to think: tyrannical, messing up market prices, lawless, unreasonable, overbearing… too many to remember.

“You can sit for a while. I’ll go cook, and if you need me, just call.”

“Okay, Fu Gui’er.”

The man turned around and looked at Xiao Qian stiffly, “What did you say?”

“Nothing, thank you, Brother Yunchang.”

Oh, so he just misheard? The man nodded awkwardly to Xiao Qian and went back into the house.

Xiao Qian quietly chuckled, his expression just now was hilarious.

This guy’s full name was Liao Fugui, and he was from an intellectual family. He was well-versed in classic literature from ancient to modern times, both Chinese and foreign. His hobby was studying and comparing different versions of Zizhi Tongjian and reciting quotes from great people. In short, he was a weirdo.

But this man was remarkable. He was a member of the national renowned forensic psychiatry and psychology research group, a Doctor of Forensic Psychiatry, and later a part-time lecturer in legal psychology at a well-known domestic university. His doctoral supervisor and Xiao Qian’s professor, Liu, were fellow apprentices. Based on seniority, Xiao Qian should have respectfully called him a senior or a brother from her previous life, but she never did.

In her previous life, Xiao Qian had opened her own studio and worked alone, making a fortune from overcharging her clients. Meanwhile, Liao Fugui was poor despite working as a forensic psychiatrist and holding a part-time position as a doctoral supervisor. He despised Xiao Qian for driving a Maserati and acting like an overbearing female boss. He believed Xiao Qian had disturbed the market prices and was a bad influence. However, their professions occasionally intersected, and they had no choice but to interact.

Liao Fugui couldn’t win an argument against Xiao Qian’s domineering attitude, and Xiao Qian had deliberately memorized an entire book of quotes from great people just to have a standoff with him.

Liao Fugui’s job was to accept commissions from the judicial department and provide assessments for people involved in criminal or civil cases with mental or psychological issues. In short, he was an expert in the identification of mental illness and psychological problems.

This man, with the surname Liao and the name Fugui, was born into an intellectual family but felt that the name his parents had given him was a bit vulgar. So he gave himself the name Yunchang, and his friends called him Director Liao or Yunchang. Only Xiao Qian, who didn’t get along with him, would call him by his full name, Liao Fugui.

That’s how their enmity began. One could say that they took completely different paths. Even though Xiao Qian was also occasionally invited to do psychological assessments for civil cases, she kept running into Liao Fugui. In this life, she wanted to avoid these pedantic intellectuals, but unexpectedly encountered him in such a speechless manner.

If it were not for the rebirth background, she would have just seen him as a strange neighbor. However, with the memories of her past life, she realized how small the world really was.

Jia Xiufang didn’t come back until a while later. Seeing Xiao Qian sitting on the chair playing Greedy Snake on her phone, she walked over and put her hand on Xiao Qian’s and felt the cold. She immediately scolded.

“You silly girl, aren’t you cold sitting here? Why didn’t you find a place to wait?”

“…You came back late, and you still have the nerve to complain?” Xiao Qian was speechless.

“Isn’t it all for you and your brother making money? Hurry inside. Whose chair is this?”

“Liao Fugui’s.”

“Who?”

“Liao Yunchang.”

With that, Jia Xiufang understood.

“Oh, Liao’s such a thoughtful boy. Did you thank him? Let’s invite him over for dinner tonight. He’s always helping us out, even fixing our broken light bulb.”

Jia Xiufang had a high opinion of this young and polite neighbor, knowing that he hadn’t solved his personal issues. She had introduced several potential matches to Liao Fugui, and although none had worked out, the two families still visited each other frequently. Especially when she found out that Liao had lost his mother and was only relying on his father, Jia Xiufang’s sympathy went through the roof.

“He’s already cooking, don’t bother him.” Xiao Qian thought that having dinner with Liao Fugui might give her a stomach ulcer.

“Well, I’ll return the chair first, and Xiao Qian, you come along too, to meet Uncle Liao and your brother Liao.”

“…” What? Liao Fugui has become her brother? Xiao Qian felt an uncomfortable chill, thinking of the side effects from her rebirth.

CEO Tang Daye of a top 500 company is now her godfather, Lily Tang, who will become an overbearing CEO in the future, is now her dry sister, the landlord’s foolish daughter is now her best friend, the girl who wants to jump off the roof is now her future sister-in-law, and now one of her rivals has become her brother?

The good thing was, the father of her child was still the same person.

Xiao Qian had mixed feelings as she watched Jia Xiufang knock on the door.

Liao Fugui opened the door with an apron on, and Xiao Qian raised her eyebrows. Wow, he had a domestic side too?

Not to mention, with his little glasses covered in steam from the pot, he looked quite domestic!

“Yunchang, this is my daughter Xiao Qian. You’ve met her, right? Please take care of her, see, it’s so embarrassing.” Auntie Jia said.

“It’s nothing, Auntie Jia, please come in and sit down.”

Please don’t agree with him! Xiao Qian roared in her heart.

However, it seemed that Miss Jia Xiufang didn’t hear her daughter’s scream.

“Well, I’m sorry to bother you. Oh, what are you cooking? It smells so good!” Jia Xiufang kept talking as she walked into the house.
