Chapter 318 How did they offend her?
" Were they kidnapped and you want me to bring them from another brothel is that what you are saying?"
Lang shook her head with a frown. " Why would I want them, I want you to make these kids your servants here."
Xiang Bei snapped back and reeled in what Lang just said then she turned to her mammy and asked again, " What do you think she just said?"
The mammy was confused about why her mistress was acting like this, so she repeated what Lang just said to them. " I think she wants you to bring these kids and make them members of the tavern."
" What is this?" muttered Xiang Bei in incredulity, she stared at Lang and shook her head. " You guys are supposed to be the good guys and I am supposed to be the bad guy here…if you do this then what will happen to the balance of this world?"
" Are you going to bring these kids here or not? I can look for another brothel if you can't." Lang deadpanned, she had enough of Xiang Bei's antics. However, as she raised her hand to take the portraits away, Xiang Bei snatched them from her as she flatteringly smiled. " Wait, Wait…I think we can make it work actually… these kids look really pretty and with enough training, I will be able to sell them for a decent price, so what do you want me to do?"
Seeing that Xiang Bei was willing to work with her Lang told her about her plan and after Xiang Bei finished listening she agreed to do just as Lang asked her to do, the reason was however not as simple.
Once Lang was gone, the mammy turned to look at Xiang Bei and asked, " Is it really okay for us to do something like this?"
" Why not?" said Xiang Bei back to her usual sly fox style as she leaned back on her chair and arched her back. "It's not like I am doing something illegal and the kids are indeed too pretty to let go just like that, especially this" she pointed to the chubby grandson of the Zhu family. " He looks a fine mer, as long as I raise him well and ask him to slim down, I think he will fetch a good sum of money what do you think?"
The mammy was however still hesitant. " But what if that devil woman makes it difficult for us in the future, there might be something fishy going on here. Why else, that servant would come here and wouldn't visit any other brothel."
" because she knows that I am the only one who is greedy enough to take the bait that she has thrown," said Xiang Bei without any shame or embarrassment, she picked up the portraits that Lang has delivered to her and smirked when she took a look of them. " Such fine goods, it would be a loss if I let them go. If she had gone anywhere else she would have to go through all the legal process and even write a letter and mention that she was giving up the authority and rights over these kids, that woman is clearly not related to the children and the other brothel wouldn't dare to take up such a messy case. But I have never cared about such things, I do business that's simply profitable and don't really care about whether it is legal or not… that's why the woman came to me."
" So, you are really going to do what the servant asked you to do?"
" Of course, I will," smirked Xiang Bei as she lifted her chin and looked at the mammy standing behind her. " A three storeys house and five beautiful kids, if you ignore the person who brought it to us. I can assure you that you will think of this as a pie falling from the sky. And I am not stupid to ignore such an opportunity, the only thing that I am curious about is how exactly this Zhu family offended that devil woman's servant?"

" Achoo!"
" Ah, Zhu Cheng! How many times I have asked you not to sneeze on me?" chided a worker on the dock as she threw the baggage that she was carrying on her back inside the ship that was waiting for the cargo to be loaded. The worker took out her handkerchief and wiped her neck, glaring at Zhu Cheng. " You always do that, are you looking for a fight with me, is that it?"
This Zhu Cheng was none other than the first sister of Zhu Qian, ever since her sister in law started to send money because she wanted the Zhu family to take care of her son, Zhu Cheng hasn't visited the dock in months and now that she was back because her sister in law stopped sending money to their family, she was having a hard time adjusting. On the first day she returned, she found out that her position as the group leader was given to another woman named Tu Tingling and what was more this woman perceived her as a threat just as Zhu Cheng perceived her as one.
The two of them didn't get along from day one and pulled small pranks on one another, now the situation was like this and even though Zhu Cheng didn't sneeze to disgust Tu Tingling the latter thought that Zhu Cheng was back to her old antics again. So, she stomped on Zhu Cheng's boots after the latter sneezed on her neck.
" OW! You motherf*cking bitch! You think that you are laden with gold or silver that I would do everything because of you?" snapped Zhu Qian as she threw the baggage inside the cargo ship and rolled her sleeves to fight Tu Tingling. " Now that you are the group leader, you aren't going to allow me to sneeze either, is that what you mean?" After saying this Zhu Cheng pushed her.
Tu Tingling was no pushover either, she rolled her sleeves and turned to look at the crowd that stopped to look at the drama in front of them. " You all saw this right? She was the one who made the move first. If Boss Cai asks remember to back me up," and then she threw a punch at Zhu Cheng.
Just like that the two women got entangled in a brawl scratching and hitting each other faces.
