Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 8 Resignation
In physiognomy, the five facial features refer to the ears, eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth. Each feature reveals a person's personality and influences their destiny; the saying "the face reflects the heart" is not without reason. Zhang Fen's eyes are protruding and fierce, red like a drunkard's, indicating a wicked heart. Furthermore, her eyebrows are thick and bushy, and her nose is crooked and slanted, suggesting she speaks untruthfully, mistaking right for wrong, and using flattery and cunning. She is often self-satisfied, prone to boasting, and arrogant. This person loves to gossip and frequently offends others with her words. Her lack of decency will bring karmic retribution. Looking at her "children's palace" (the tear trough area under her eyes), there are fine cracks and a dull complexion; her offspring will inevitably be implicated because of her. Yang Nianqing, with his third eye, saw from her face that her daughter would face a calamity related to romantic entanglements.

Originally, Zhang Fen's daughter, Qian Duoduo, was destined to face a romantic entanglement with a rotten lover, who would even insult and defile her. This rotten lover was brought about by Zhang Fen herself. However, Qian Duoduo was a kind and blessed person, and a true love would appear to help her resolve this calamity. Unexpectedly, Zhang Fen looked down on the man and drove him away with insults, and Qian Duoduo, because of her mother, could not escape this calamity either.

"How dare you curse my daughter!" Zhang Fen bared her teeth and claws, reaching out to grab Yang Nianqing's face. Zhang Fen only had one daughter and couldn't stand anyone saying anything bad about her daughter, let alone cursing her.

Yang Nianqing grabbed Zhang Fen's hand and gently pushed her to the ground. Yang Nianqing's strength was honed from her daily high-intensity work of flipping woks, and she was definitely not comparable to a lazy woman like Zhang Fen.

Zhang Fen sat on the ground, very surprised. It was already surprising enough that Yang Nianqing would curse people, but now Yang Nianqing had even attacked them. The honest man had fought back. Zhang Fen knew that she was just talking nonsense, but she was the kind of person who didn't hold back and liked to say things without thinking. Zhang Fen felt a little guilty: "What are you doing? You cursed my daughter, and you even dared to hit her!"

Yang Nianqing frowned. How could this person distort the truth like this? Why hadn't she thought this person was so bizarre in her past life? "First, I'm telling the truth. Second, I didn't curse your daughter. Third, words can cause trouble; be careful that your mouth doesn't harm others or yourself!" Yang Nianqing's eyes were icy; she didn't want to get entangled with Zhang Fen anymore. "Boss Qian, I came here to resign today anyway, and I don't need anyone to kick me out! I don't want the wages for these five days; consider it compensation for my absence." After saying that, Yang Nianqing turned and left.

Zhang Fen was still cursing and arrogantly saying, "Get out of here, who wants to keep you here?!"

Yang Nianqing turned around and glared coldly at Zhang Fen. Her fierce aura frightened Zhang Fen. Although Yang Nianqing didn't like Zhang Fen, she had a good impression of Zhang Fen's daughter, Qian Duoduo. Yang Nianqing sneered and reminded Zhang Fen, "Let me give you another piece of advice: if you continue to spread rumors and slander others, you will surely be punished. Be forgiving when you can. If you don't change your ways, you will be punished within a month. Just wait and see!" After saying that, Yang Nianqing left without looking back.

Zhang Fen spat at Yang Nianqing's retreating figure: "Pah! Who do you think you are? I'll just wait and see! Let's see what you dare to do!"

The other employees looked at Zhang Fen with some disdain and whispered among themselves.

"Nianqing was such a good person, and she forced her into this situation."

"Zhang Fen went too far, talking about such a young girl like that."

"Yes, she's even younger than her daughter. Nianqing is too young to understand these things. She thinks she knows everything and is insulting to a little girl's ears by saying such things!"

"is not that right!"

"She thinks everyone else has dirty minds just because she herself has dirty minds. It's ridiculous!"

"That's it!"

Zhang Fen roared, "What are you all doing here! Don't you have anything to do? Get out of here!"

The group grimaced, their disgust for Zhang Fen growing stronger. They exchanged glances and returned to their posts.

"Enough!" Qian Mengsheng yelled at Zhang Fen. He said coldly, "Go home now, or we're getting a divorce!"

Seeing that Qian Mengsheng wasn't lying, Zhang Fen felt a little scared and guilty. It was too shameful for someone to get divorced in middle age. Zhang Fen curled her lips, snorted coldly, and left.

After leaving Qian's Restaurant, Yang Nianqing quit her other part-time jobs, keeping only her current job at Sister Zhang's Seafood Restaurant. Now with nothing to do, Yang Nianqing went into a milk tea shop, ordered a milk tea and two desserts, intending to kill time. After her food arrived, she thanked the waitress, who waved and said, "You're welcome." Yang Nianqing smiled; not everyone in this world has warped values.

Yang Nianqing took out the red envelope Chen Jianbin had given her from her bag and counted it. There was a whopping five thousand yuan! That was almost half a month's salary for her at Qianjia Restaurant, proving that this industry could still make money. Yang Nianqing was full of expectations for the future.

Yang Nianqing put the red envelope into her bag, her fingers touching a hard object. She took it out; it was a dark red sandalwood box. Yang Nianqing gently stroked the box, a warm smile unconsciously appearing on her face. This was a gift she had prepared for Fan Ruichen, which she would give to him when she met him.

At this moment, Fan Ruichen held the urgently compiled information from his subordinates, his eyes dark and icy, his hands unconsciously clenching the documents into a tight knot. The documents contained everything Yang Nianqing had experienced over the past 19 years! Fan Ruichen knew there was a reason why Yang Nianqing was unhappy whenever her family was mentioned, but he never expected the truth to be like this—the Yang family had practically treated Yang Nianqing like a slave! And Yang Nianqing was far too kind and blindly filial. It seemed he had to force her to change some of her views. Although he couldn't say he loved Yang Nianqing that much right now, from this day forward, no one would dare to hurt her! Yang Nianqing was his, and only he could bully her! Anyone else! Ha, they'd have their hands chopped off!
Before long, it got dark. Yang Nianqing arrived at her workplace early and saw Fan Ruichen sitting in the shop. Yang Nianqing's eyes lit up with surprise. "Why are you here so early?" It was only eight o'clock. She had told Fan Ruichen her work start time was 9:30 PM, and she thought that even if Fan Ruichen wanted to find her, it would be after 9:30 PM. She hadn't expected him to be here so early. "I couldn't reach you, how would I know if what you said was true? Of course, I had to come see if you were here early," Fan Ruichen said, resting his chin on his hand, his tone subtly revealing a hint of grievance.

Yang Nianqing smiled apologetically and ingratiatingly at Fan Ruichen. She knew that Fan Ruichen still harbored some resentment towards her.

Sister Zhang walked over and winked at Yang Nianqing playfully, "Nianqing, who is this?"

Yang Nianqing blushed slightly, a little embarrassed: "Sister Zhang, this is my boyfriend, Fan Ruichen."

"Hello." Hearing Yang Nianqing's introduction, Fan Ruichen greeted Sister Zhang in a good mood.

"Hello, hello." Sister Zhang was a little flattered. This customer clearly had an important background. He hadn't said a word after ordering, nor had he touched any of the food. She had been wondering what he was doing there, and now she realized he was Nianqing's boyfriend. Sister Zhang smiled knowingly and said to Yang Nianqing, "You two chat first, I'll go back to work."

Yang Nianqing nodded and sat down opposite Fan Ruichen. Seeing Sister Zhang leave, Fan Ruichen rested his chin on his hands and looked at Yang Nianqing: "You haven't seen me all day, did you miss me?"

Yang Nianqing thought that for Fan Ruichen, it had been a day since they last saw each other, but for her, it had been a long time. So she missed her new boyfriend quite a bit. Yang Nianqing nodded and said matter-of-factly, "Yes, I do."

Fan Ruichen blushed slightly. How could this girl be so shameless? Fan Ruichen covered his lips, hiding the corners of his mouth that had unconsciously turned up.

Seeing Fan Ruichen blush, Yang Nianqing suddenly found the man quite cute. Yang Nianqing took the sandalwood box out of her bag and handed it to Fan Ruichen: "This is for you."

Fan Ruichen took it and asked with some confusion, "What is this?"

"Open it and take a look."

Fan Ruichen opened the box and found a red hand-woven bracelet with an icy imperial green jadeite woven into it. The jadeite was also carved with an unknown, ancient pattern. Fan Ruichen was puzzled. As far as he knew, Yang Nianqing's family was very poor. Where did this top-quality jadeite come from? Moreover, the box was not an ordinary item either. It was made of high-quality sandalwood and nanmu wood, and it was very old and emitted a faint fragrance. It was a valuable antique.

Seeing Fan Ruichen's confusion, Yang Nianqing smiled and explained, "I made this bracelet myself, and the jade was given to me by my ancestor... I also carved the pattern myself. Do you like it?"

"Why did you give me this? If it was a gift from your ancestor, isn't it very precious?"

This bracelet was a peace rope woven by Yang Nianqing herself. The thread used to weave the bracelet was made from silk spun by celestial silkworms in the secret realm. Every day, Yang Nianqing used her spiritual power to extract a little of her heart's blood to dye it red. She then used top-grade spiritual jade to carve a delicate protective array bit by bit. Using a special technique taught by Gu Lang and a strand of her own hair, she wove it into a peace rope. This peace rope is impervious to water and fire, never fades, and can protect the wearer from external harm, ensuring peace and good fortune. When Gu Lang learned that this was to be given to her boyfriend, who was also her lover, he even recited a poem teasingly, making Yang Nianqing embarrassed to look at Gu Lang for several days.

"This is a safety rope, used for protection. I don't need it. I have a talisman given to me by my ancestor. You should put it on quickly and never take it off. It could save your life in a critical moment!"

Fan Ruichen chuckled: "You still believe in this?"

Yang Nianqing knew that modern people believed in science and did not believe in these things that were labeled as feudal superstition. If she hadn't experienced them herself, she wouldn't have believed them either: "Don't disbelieve me. You should know that it's better to believe in something than nothing. I said I would be good to you. You have to believe me. I won't hurt you. Have you heard a poem about a red string?"

"What poem?"
