The Villain's Mother - Ch 214

Title: The Villain’s Mother
Translator: Fuyu

Chapter 214 - Ruan Xia suddenly felt that being apart for a few days was pretty good (3)

Although… Ruan Xia looked around at the nearby houses. She wanted to sigh with emotion too. The boss was so rich.

She just didn't know if he was as rich as Song Tingshen.

No, stop, don't associate anything and anyone with Song Tingshen!

That evening, the company arranged for a seafood dinner. Her coworkers were gathered by the swimming pool while they waited for dinner to start. With twenty or so people, it was a lively crowd. What made Ruan Xia feel suffocated and uncomfortable was that most people had brought their family members. If only she could have brought Little Wang with her, that would be great. She had obviously been apart from him for only one day, but she already missed that chubby kid.

There was the freshest of seafood and a self-service barbeque area. All in all, there was a plentiful variety of food.

When Ruan Xia took the initiative to take over the task of barbequing, her manager and the HR manager stopped her. It was probably because the mood was more relaxed than usual. They teased that they shouldn't let a beauty cook.

Just as everyone was about to dig into the food, she heard a coworker say that their boss had come.

Ruan Xia's eyesight wasn't considered good, and she wasn't wearing cosmetic colored contact lens or normal contact lens today. She was looking at the doorway, but she couldn't clearly make out the person standing there. When the boss had walked into the room and closer to her, she almost shouted.

How could it be so coincidental?!

Her boss, the one she thought was stupid and rich, turned out the be the gentleman sitting in the seat next to hers on the flight?!

"CEO Qin, sit here please." The HR Manager gestured for their boss to sit down. Even more coincidental, the seat that the manager had arranged for the boss was the one next to Ruan Xia.

Ruan Xia felt awkward. She didn't know if she should pretend to not know him or calmly greet him.

CEO Qin also noticed her. He didn't look as surprised as her. He even very calmly smiled at her. "We meet again."

“CEO Qin, hello," she hastily said.

Qin Yu didn't have the demeanor of a boss in front of her. It was probably because they had the fate of meeting on the plane. He even offered her a grilled squid stick.

By the time she recovered from her surprise, she suddenly thought of something. Qin? It was probably that Qin, right?

When she went to the bathroom, she took the opportunity to find the receptionist. She grabbed her hand and asked, "What's our boss's name?"

The receptionist was astonished. "You don't know?" She paused and then said, "Why are you asking?"

Ruan Xia was barely able to calm down. "Just curious. I happened to meet him on the plane today. I suddenly thought about how I don't know the boss's name. How embarrassing."

The receptionist's expression was somewhat strange, but she still answered, "Qin as in the Qin in Qin Shihuang. Yu as in the yu in yujian."

(T/N: Qin Shihuang is the name of the first emperor. Yujian means to meet.)

… Oh My God!

Ruan Xia dropped onto the sofa, feeling utterly awful.

Why did the plot have to be so powerful? Song Tingshen obviously didn't die and she hadn't gone out traveling either. How could she still end up meeting Qin Yu? The worst part was that she didn't know if she had caused a butterfly effect by changing the plot. And that butterfly effect had led to her interviewing at Qin Yu's company and becoming one of his employees!

Who was Qin Yu?

He was the original owner's second husband in the novel. He was as loyal and devoted to her as a dog.


Translator Ramblings: Since Qin Yu was in love with the original owner in the novel, I wonder if he would still be interested in Ruan Xia if he gets to know her. Her personality is so different from the original owner's.

Unrelated, I wonder what the hiring manager said when they hired the employees for this branch office. Your goal is to sabotage a marriage and matchmake a married woman to our boss?
