Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss-Chapter 793 - 767: Just Be Honest
Chapter 793: Chapter 767: Just Be Honest
No one knew better than Aka just how much Boss Qian, this godlike woman, held a grudge.
Wasn’t Old Mai a perfect example? Boss Qian had relentlessly targeted him due to her jealousy over Shuixian, and as a result, he had unwittingly played into Boss Qian’s plans, ultimately ending up as Chrysanthemum – a gift for someone else.
Just like Phoenix Man, who’d been lusting after Liu Mei and had been reduced to a pitiful state by Boss Qian. He now couldn’t bear the thought of food and was desperate to reconcile with Liu Mei, but he had been beaten to within an inch of his life by Yu Minglang. Oh, the misery!
Those who angered Boss Qian never met a good end. Even if they didn’t directly challenge Boss Qian, simply bullying those around her would be enough to provoke her wrath. This was the conclusion Aka had reached after closely observing Xiao Qian.
Aka had eavesdropped on Boss Qian’s conversations and now had a premonition that she would be ruthlessly revenged. Yet Boss Qian had not taken any action so far, and the Boss had told Aka to make a direct apology. Aka thought that Boss Qian’s most likely reaction would be to slap her twice and then have Yu Minglang half-kill her.
But Aka never expected that when she invited Xiao Qian to have dinner, Xiao Qian’s response would be –
“Let’s go.”
Aka was surprised – she agreed so readily to come?
“What, don’t you want to go?”
“I do, I do!” Aka nodded like crazy.
Xiao Qian’s two close friends, Shi Touyu and Da Yi, were not at school, and Xiao Qian didn’t like eating alone. She thought Yellow Hair’s desperate attempts to get close to her these days were amusing, so she decided to tease Aka a bit more. But to her surprise, Aka had willingly walked into the trap.
Even though Yellow Hair’s origins were mysterious, Boss Qian had a feeling that she harbored no ill intentions, at least for now. She also found it entertaining to toy with Aka and observe her terrified expressions, especially when she tried to approach but felt reluctant to do so.
The two went to a Hot Pot restaurant run by Yu Minglang’s childhood friend Hai Zhao, near the school. During the meal, Aka decided to make small talk with Xiao Qian before discussing serious matters.
“What are your plans for the summer vacation? Why didn’t the big boss arrange an internship for you?”
“I thought you already know.” Xiao Qian replied with a teasing smile.
“I haven’t eavesdropped on you in a while – your little friend Xiao Qiang is too strong, and my ears still hurt.” Aka mustered courage to confess.
She was mentally prepared that if Boss Qian decided to scald her face with the boiling pot, she would accept it.
Xiao Qian set down her chopsticks and looked at her calmly.
“You’re admitting it? I thought you would continue to play dumb.”
“I want to, but I didn’t expect you to be so cunning. I’ve been spying on people for years, and this is the first time I’ve encountered someone who could counter my eavesdropping.”
Her boss had even deducted salary for this. Poor Aka!
She had seriously underestimated the high-IQ couple, Xiao Qiang and Xiao Mei. Her identity as a spy had been exposed too early.
“Who asked you to eavesdrop on me?”
“Old Mai. But now he’s taken away by Song Qingwu, and there’s no one to pay me anymore, so I don’t have to eavesdrop on you.”
“You’re not Old Mai’s person.” Xiao Qian remembered Yu Minglang had once said there was someone else behind Aka.
“If you’re so smart, you’ll never make any friends.” Aka couldn’t continue her lies, terrified by the piercing gaze of Xiao Qian.
“Honestly, Boss, there is a boss who asked me to protect you. I can’t reveal who they are, but I can swear on my life that they have no ill intentions, nor do I.”
“Listening to me in secret with that device every day – you say you have no ill intentions?”
“As you should know, ever since that superman from your family discovered me, I haven’t been able to eavesdrop on you again. Even my boss doesn’t allow me to continue monitoring you. All I need to do now is follow you and protect you without letting others harm you.”
Once Aka had said this, she felt relief.
Finally, she had told the truth!
“I can’t tell you who my boss is, but I can assure you that he’s not malicious. I’ll never eavesdrop on your conversations again, and I’ll protect you silently. If you feel annoyed by me, I can protect you from behind the shadows. If you can’t forgive my past actions, then punish me as you please.”
In other words, even after being punished, she would still follow Xiao Qian and protect her.
“How much is your boss paying you? I’ll pay double if you tell me who he is. I’ll forgive you if you tell me.”

Xiao Qian attempted to win Aka over.
“I’m sorry, I can’t do that.”
“Do you think I can’t afford it?”
“No, Boss, I don’t want to deceive you. I’ll tell you the truth: my previous identity was as a special agent, stealing important information. But when I realized that my life shouldn’t be all about this and wanted to quit, only to be hunted down, my boss saved me. Money is my favorite thing in the world, but there are some things even more important than money.”
After finishing, Aka stood up and bowed to Xiao Qian.
“I’ve said all I needed to say and I’m sincerely apologizing to you. I’m also willing to accept any punishment you may give me. Please forgive my actions.”
Bring it on, she was prepared for whatever punishment may come, like having hot oil poured over her head!
“If you dare to eavesdrop on me again, I’ll have Xiao Qiang beat you into a pulp. My man is a real rascal; he doesn’t hesitate to hit women when needed. Alright, enough bowing. It looks like a farewell ceremony. Sit down, eat, and you’re paying the bill.”
The seemingly casual statement was more shocking than being doused in hot oil, and Aka’s eyes widened in surprise.
“You…you…you… forgive me?!”
“Not exactly forgiveness, but I’m a person who rewards and punishes fairly. You eavesdropped on me, which infuriated me, but I’ll take it up with your boss in the future. When we meet, I’ll kill him.”
At a distance, the boss sneezed – who was talking about him?
“My boss isn’t a bad guy…he’s actually quite pitiful…” Aka realized she couldn’t say too much, so she closed her mouth and looked at Xiao Qian pitifully.
“I don’t care if he’s bad or not, but he arranged someone around me and attempted to steal my privacy. I’ll keep this in mind.”
“Boss, it’s my fault. Why don’t you say that?”
“You were just following orders, and you did listen to my privacy. But you’ve done two right things when you were with me, so I won’t hold your past actions against you, on the condition that you never, ever, eavesdrop on me or my husband again.”
“What do you call those conversations…they are not suitable for children! – Ahem, I mean, I used to stop listening when I heard just a bit of it.”
She did maintain some professional ethics, not listening to all the inappropriate conversations between the couple. But she had accidentally heard a bit of their exchanges – it was not easy in the stifling heat, and she almost had a nosebleed.
Feeling Xiao Qian’s murderous gaze, Aka smartly let the topic drop.
“Boss, tell me what I did right, and I’ll keep doing it to make up for my past mistakes.”
