SMVB Chapter 38

Translator: Cheese

Overbearing President eldest young miss


Tang Qifeng headed to the toy store and stopped at the entrance. He adjusted his clothes and hair. He waited until the heat in his face cooled down before letting out a cough.

There was no response.

You Pinyan was busy checking out customers.

It was a mother and son. While the woman checked out, the child shook her hand from below.

The woman, helpless: “Didn’t we go see? The Kaka you wanted isn’t here.”

The child, not giving up, whined in protest.

The woman had no choice but to ask You Pinyan, “Boss, does your store sell a dog named Kaka? I don’t know where this troublemaker heard it, but he’s been yelling about wanting to buy it every day.”

You Pinyan smiled. “We don’t at the moment, but there are Kaka cakes in the dessert shop next door.”

Woman: “I bought him one already. It’s expensive and hard to get, and once it’s eaten it’s gone. I wanted to get him a toy… thank you ah.”

Sending away the woman, You Pinyan lay back on the recliner, plugged in her headphones, and closed her eyes as she listened to music.

Seeing that she hadn’t taken notice of him, Tang Qifeng walked to the cash register and whispered, “Xiao Yan, you’ve suffered outside.”

You Pinyan opened her eyes, gave him a lazy glance, then gave a yawn and said indifferently, “Pick what you want to buy. If you’re not buying please go away.”

As early as when the car parked on the side of the road, You Pinyan had been watching. Naturally, she saw Tang Qifeng get out of the car. Then she got the text message from Su Tian.

She just couldn’t be bothered to deal with him.

As for avoiding him? What a joke. The person who could make her, You Pinyan, avoid him him wasn’t even fucking born yet1.

Tang Qifeng: “…”

Even when You Pinyan had been angry in the past, she had never been so indifferent to himself. Was it truly because he had spoken good words on behalf of Xiao Yu?

Choked up, he looked around the small toy store. “I want everything in the shop. Are you willing to talk to me now?”

You Pinyan lazily took out her earphones, plopped down at the cash register, and punched into the calculator.

After a long time of clicks and clacks, the eldest young miss announced the sum. “The total is thirteen thousand six hundred and seventy-eight yuan. Please confirm the purchase.”

Tang Qifeng took out a silver bank card, but before he could hand it over, You Pinyan continued lazily, “This store only accepts cash, thank you.”

Couldn’t he see that there were no POS machines2 in the store? Was he blind ah?

Tang Qifeng still smiled good-temperedly. With an indulging and pampering look, he made a call and had the driver bring over twenty thousand yen in cash.

Tang Qifeng: “Xiao Yan, we’re all worried about you.”

You Pinyan took a pen and pulled off the cap with her teeth.

Tang Qifeng: “Come back with me ba, I’ll take you abroad to play…”

You Pinyan took out a piece of paper.

Tang Qifeng: “K-brand’s new product line will be launched in a few days. How about I take you to buy her clothes and bags?”

The words 【Temporarily closed】 appeared on the paper.

Tang Qifeng persisted. “That bracelet before, I shouldn’t have told you that Xiao Yu…”

Pa!

You Pinyan slapped the table. Standing up, she took the paper and pasted it on the door.

Tang Qifeng: “…”

It looked like it really was because of Xiao Yu.

He hurriedly said, “Okay okay, I know you don’t want to listen to this. I have good news for you. Grandpa made a will when I left. From now on, the family property will basically be all yours. Xiao Yu…”

With a crashing sound, You Pinyan kicked over the stool.

Tang Qifeng: “…”

That’s right, he couldn’t even bring up her name.

“The money? Hurry up and pay and beat it.”

Tang Qifeng’s expression also began to look off.

He was also a prominent3 noble son at home. Since he was young, only You Pinyan dared to disrespect him like this.

During this stalemate, the driver finally brought over the cash.

You Pinyan grabbed it, skillfully counted out one hundred thirty seven yuan, gave him twenty-two yuan, and sat down and began to collect all the cash in the shop.

The driver took the rest of the money, neither leaving nor staying.

Tang Qifeng waved him away, holding back his anger. “Xiao Yan, you’ve been making a scene for so long. It’s time to cool down ba.”

You Pinyan: “Hurry and call some people to move your things.”

Knock knock knock. There was a knock on the door, and Tang Qifeng saw You Pinyan’s expression instantly bloom into a smile, her eyes glowing. He had never seen her look so delighted.

He followed her line of sight and saw it was the girl from just earlier standing at the door with a dessert in hand. His face instantly colored with embarrassment.

Su Tian put down the plate and said to You Pinyan, “Today is caramel pudding.”

Su Tian’s gaze fell on Tang Qifeng. She smiled. “This gentleman asked me about you earlier.”

You Pinyan: “Tiantian, just ignore him.”

Tang Qifeng had originally felt that You Pinyan was being unusually indifferent towards him and had felt somewhat uneasy. But he was a little relieved after hearing this sentence.

–She would still feel jealous because of him. It seemed it wasn’t a big issue.

He thought that You Pinyan didn’t let Su Tian deal with him because she didn’t want him to come in contact with other girls. Just like before, when she threw a tantrum whenever he talked to Xiao Yu.

She smiled, taking out two checks. She asked, “Why? This gentleman is so generous. I just said a few words and earned 110,000.”

You Pinyan was stunned. She opened up the check that Su Tian handed over and instantly grew furious.

Tang Qifeng had thought that Su Tian’s backstabbing was too unnatural, but on second thought, it allowed him to show You Pinyan clearly what kind of people her new friends were, to be able to sell her out for a mere 110,000 yuan.

Perhaps she would go back herself out of anger.

Seeing You Pinyan’s anger, he apologized first. “Xiao Yan, I was just too anxious to find you…”

“Tang Qifeng, are you not ashamed!”

“I was just too impatient…”

“You gave Tiantian just 110,000?!”

“Using money was the fastest…” Wh… what?

You Pinyan grabbed a toy car and threw it at Tang Qifeng, cursing, “Is your family bankrupt or what?”

Tang Qifeng caught the toy car, his mind somewhat muddled.

Shouldn’t she be angry that the girl sold her out ba? Why was she mad that he’d given too little money?

Xiao Yan…”

“Get out!”

With a crash, Tang Qifeng burst out of the toy shop in a sorry state.

Outside the door, people coming and going pointed at him and snickered:

“Look how handsome he is. Too bad he has a problem with his brain.”

“Don’t all the actors on TV make five million? Isn’t 110,000 too little?”

“It’s not too little. It’s money earned for free, how’s that little?”

“That’s true, heehee.”

Tang Qifeng stood amongst the crowd, feeling a profound doubt about himself for the first time. Was he really too stingy?

Su Tian stood to the side, smiling as she watched the good show. She didn’t feel a bit of sympathy for Tang Qifeng. Having interacted with You Pinyan for a long time, Su Tian could tell that the eldest young miss was an extremely sincere person.

She liked her very much.

According to the eldest young miss’s original plot, after she went back with Tang Qifeng, she continued to have conflicts with You Pinyu over similar situations. After several times, Tang Qifeng’s stance gradually shifted from neutral to You Pinyu’s side.

In the end, he even proposed to dissolve the engagement because he liked You Pinyu.

Tang Qifeng’s betrayal was the final straw for You Pinyan.

Su Tian didn’t like Tang Qifeng’s behavior very much. She even speculated, not without malice, whether he had proposed to terminate the engagement because You Pinyan gradually lost her position in You Zanfeng’s heart following Elder You’s passing, and the You family’s inheritance rights gradually began to tilt towards You Pinyu.

Of course, it was also possible that he simply fell in love with someone else4.

But whatever the reason, this person was not a good match for You Pinyan.

The eldest young miss deserved better.

You Pinyan stood at the door with a huge toy, burning with anger. “You can’t even bring out 5 million and you still want to slander Tiantian and say she betrayed me for money. Are you not ashamed?!”

Tang Qifeng: “…!”

What kind of weird storyline did you insert yourself into?!

Before he could open his mouth, You Pinyan slammed the door shut.


[1] As in there’s no one who exists who could make her want to avoid them, not that this person has yet to be born LOL

[2] POS stands for Point of Sale. Probably referring to electronic cash registers that can accept cards

[3] 众星捧月: all the stars cup themselves around the moon; to view somebody as a core figure

[4] 移情别恋: change of affection, shift of love; to pass one’s affection to another; to turn one’s back on one lover and go with another; to move on


Cheese: apartment building’s internet went down, so i wasn’t able to post this on time today… that’s what i get for not queueing it a few days earlier ha haa

ive been thinking about this for a while, but i feel like english onomatopoeia is so limited… i think english tends to describe with how something looks or using words with different connotations, but sometimes it sounds awkward when im trying to translate sounds.

  1. English really does lack in onomatopoeia. If it starts feeling too limiting, I think it would be ok to just phonetically translate some things to English letters and leave it with a footnote?
