Chapter 169 – My Temper Is Not Good
Xiang Bei was furious! No she was livid. Even though she was a bit over the top she had never treated Xiao Hua wrongly.
Every time he offended a rich madam it was her who saved his ass from the troubles he caused after offending those rich madams because of his arrogance.
She even let him run amok. Let him have the freedom that he wanted and yet! This brat actually betrayed her without a single care in the world! What did she ask from him?
She only asked him to become a concubine of that rich madam and nothing else for whom she was doing it?
Although the Madame was old, she was extremely rich-so rich that her generation didn't even need to work to eat three meals a day. Yet Xiao Hua reacted so strongly like she had asked him to give her -his life!
Was there any need for him to react like that? It was just giving his body in exchange for the comforts of life was that so bad? In her mind there was no need for Xiao Hua to betray her like this.
"Hua Hua I underestimated you, not only are you ambitious for a Mer- you are highly scheming. You even drove a dagger into your own cousin's back. You are really shameless! I treated you so well but this is how you repay me? By colluding with outsiders?"
Xiao Hua snorted he didn't look affronted at all instead he looked quite smug as he stared at Xiang Bei and sneered coldly. "Of course, I am good after all I learned it from the best sister. Who other than you know how to stab someone in the back? You promised my mother that you will take care of my dad and me but you sold my Daddy even before my mother's corpse turned cold. At that time what did you say to me? That you were doing it for my Daddy. You said that my Daddy was still young and didn't have to suffer in the tavern -that he will lead a comfortable life? That's what you told me right?" Xiao Hua laughed coldly as he glared at Xiang Bei.
His eyes turned red as he clenched his fists. "And what happened? My Daddy returned in a porcelain urn! I couldn't even see my Daddy in his last moments! You have treated me so well that I cannot afford to be treated well by you! I am afraid that if I took your kindness then I too will have to repay you by returning in an urn!"
He was agitated enough to lunge at Xiang Bei she was so good! She reduced his family until nothing was left and deteriorated his family's tavern to what it was now.
Yet she still shamelessly claimed that she has been so nice to him? That she has treated him well? How dare she say that to him! Anyone in this world can say those words to him but not her!
Xiang Bei's expression turned stiff as she furtively glanced at Yu Dong who simply sat on her chair with a calm expression.
She didn't say anything but she was really surprised in her heart. So turns out that this famous tavern belonged to Xiao Hua's family and Xiang Bei was simply running it.
No wonder Xiao Hua was reluctant to leave this tavern for so many years it was his family's legacy after all. No one would like to leave what their parents worked hard on in the hands of greedy people like Xiang Bei. Wasn't this the case with the original owner too?
She grew so bitter and upset because what belonged to her was snatched by her family. Her depression was not only because she was kicked out of her house but also because she lost what should have been hers.
There was no other explanation why Yu Dong grew up to be a person who didn't have any hope in the world but of course she could have chosen another path like Xiao Hua instead of becoming a bitter and hopeless person.
Yu Dong raised her hand and lightly patted Xiao Hua's hand. The touch was fleeting like a butterfly softly caressing the back of his hand.
However to Xiao Hua whose temper was rising rapidly-immediately calmed down by the touch.
The frustration he was feeling slowly vanished and instead some sort of itching sensation crawled up his skin. What was this? Did Yu Dong touch something wrong? Why was he feeling so itchy just because she touched him?
After Xiao Hua was calmed down Yu Dong slowly turned to look at Xiang Bei. Though her lips were still curled up in a smile her eyes were no longer smiling.
Because she was looking at Xiang Bei she missed Xiao Hua's flustered expression. But Lang who was standing behind her saw it and immediately felt a chill rise on her heart.
This expression…. She was worried that her young masters are going to have a hard time in the future. Just how many Mers, will she seduce before her mistress realizes that it was enough?
Yu Dong didn't look threatening at all, with her clean profile and her doe-like eyes that were always limpid as if she had just cried.
No one would take her as dangerous when compared to Xiang Bei who was older and had a distinct 'criminal' aura around herself but Yu Dong's aura was not one to be trifled with, especially when she looked at Xiang Bei with her slightly curved up.
Her languish expression only make her look like a smiling tiger that might lunge at anyone's throat at any moment without any warning, she smiled.
"Madame Xiang looks like l wasn't clear enough for you to understand. When I said that you don't have the time, I literally meant it. I know the new batch of Mers that -you want to buy and unfortunately for you.. I am quite familiar with that slave trader. If you don't agree to my terms I can always make someone else agree to them. I mean that the new batch isn't bad either- its only my affection for these Mers that's stopping me from going to that slave trader. So what do you say? Will you lose this batch to me or the new one- such fine quality Mers. I am afraid it will take a long time for you to get another one like that."
"You!" Xiang Bei of course didn't expect to be threatened like that, she stood up from her chair and the second she stood up, Momo and her lunged at Yu Dong.
However Yu Dong didn't even move from her seat. She didn't flinch when the Momo lunged at her and simply grabbed the collar of the Momo before throwing her over her shoulder.
The Momo couldn't believe what happened and Xiang Bei couldn't believe it even more so. Yu Dong was such a tiny little thing when compared to the Momo, and yet she lifted her so easily?
Yu Dong didn't bother with their shocked expressions and when the Momo went to stand back up, she raised her foot and pressed it down on the Momo's chest shocking the latter so much that she couldn't move.
The Momo was very much stronger when compared to Yu Dong but at the current moment, the Momo couldn't even move. To her it felt like her chest was being crushed! Yu Dong sneered.. "Did I forget to mention? My temper isn't good."
