203. Chapter 203: Profits First



Wen Yu left Hong Xing to look after the house, and took Xiao Ji, Laba and Qing He away.

Wen Huan sat upright in the room, holding a book in one hand and a chess piece in the other. He was wearing a loose spring shirt and looked calm and composed.

Hong Xing came in and stood properly: "Second Miss, are you looking for me?" she asked carefully.

Wen Huan placed a piece on the chessboard, then looked Hong Xing up and down, "Hong Xing, you have changed a lot. You used to be one of the most beautiful girls in the Wen family, but now, why do you look so sad?!"

Hong Xing looked at Wen Huan. Actually, this second young lady had also changed. She used to be a somewhat arrogant young lady who was not tainted by the mundane world. Now, her eyebrows and eyes were fierce... quite fierce. Although she knew why she was called here, she was a little scared in her heart and kept her head down without saying a word.

Wen Huan looked down at the chessboard, "Look, Wen Yu's shop is entertaining relatives and friends today, and everyone in the family has gone to celebrate for her. Among the girls, I was invited to go, but I won't go. Among the eldest maids, you wanted to go, but she wouldn't let you! Tell me, what are your plans?"

Hong Xing has been suffering these days. The paper of the packet of "medicine" that she was asked to take out and put back was almost torn.

She knelt on the ground and said, "I have no idea what to do now. Please teach me, Second Miss."

"I teach you? If I teach you, you will be able to do it? Oh, if you were useful enough back then, would you be where she is today?"

Hong Xing said, "Miss, I am just a maid. I can't do everything, nor dare to do everything. Besides...what real benefit will I get if I do it?" She thought to herself, even if Aunt Xu gave some money, what does it mean compared to what I have to do? "You don't do anything, but you want to get benefits from me?" Wen Huan sneered.

"Second Miss, this matter is of no trivial importance. Otherwise, as the eldest wife, what can't you do?" Hong Xing asked back.

Wen Huan looked at Hong Xing seriously: "Okay, you're smart enough!"

Hong Xing didn't say anything, but looked quite persistent.

"It's a pity that you and I have different identities, and our needs and results are also different. My mother is her stepmother, and I am her stepsister. Although we are natural enemies, we can only dislike an orphan girl who is so arrogant! In the final analysis, she has nothing to do with our lives. She married well, so I am not necessarily bad! Her dowry is rich, so mine will not be less. No matter how arrogant she is, in front of my mother... she has to bow her head and call her Madam... So, we are just angry or not. But what about you!?"

Hong Xing's legs went limp and she sat on the ground.

"What about you, Hong Xing? She will get married in a few months. If she takes you away, even if she doesn't let you become a concubine, you will be considered respectable in her husband's family, and it won't be difficult to find a good marriage. But I think... on a day like today, you can only leave... you can go by yourself!

But if I don't take you away...how can you still have the face? The decent servants in the Wen family don't like you! What's more, if you stay at home, it won't be so troublesome for me to deal with you!" Wen Huan said with a faint sweet smile.

But it scared Hong Xing to death, "Girl..."

"Miss, if I do it, what will you give me?"

"First, five hundred taels of silver, and I'll return your indenture to you. You can go out and find someone to marry. Second, if your family has chosen someone, your mother will arrange a marriage for you. Third, if you are willing to go with me... To be honest, I can't promise anything now, and I can only arrange it when the time comes. But no matter which one, it's a hundred times better than you going on like this!"

What she said was very practical. "If it is as the girl said, what should I do?"

"No matter what you do, you have to think it through! You have to be calm and ruthless. Otherwise, if it doesn't work out, you'll be the first to die. Don't think that if it doesn't work out, you can drag me down with you."

"I dare not."

"If you don't dare, just keep quiet and listen to my letter!"

"Yes..." Hong Xing's voice was barely audible.

"You've agreed to do it today. If you can't do it, think about the consequences!" Wen Huan frowned and looked extremely ferocious.

The guests who had enjoyed their meal went back home, and it seemed that everyone was very satisfied.

Wen Yu gathered several important people together to discuss the problems they had found and make rearrangements.

Qi Wu first sent his mother back, then ran back to pick up Wen Yu.

By the time she was done and ready to go home, it was already dark. When she went out, she saw Qi Wu standing by the car, "Why are you here?!"

"I'll take you back. Is that it?"

"There is always something to do. But I am so tired and happy today!" Wen Yu was really happy: this piece of wood is more lively.

Qi Wu helped her onto the bike and looked at the horse he was riding. It was not convenient to talk.

"You want to get in the car too?!" Wen Yu called.

Xiaoji left obediently, but Qinghe was a little unhappy. "Laba." She whispered outside, "The girl hasn't married yet, it's not comfortable for them to sit like this, there's room in the car, let's all get in!"

Laba rolled his eyes and said, "Stop worrying about it!" Then he lowered the curtain.

Qing He was anxious, but there was nothing she could do. The girl had always gone out on Laba, and she rarely brought Xiao Ji with her. It seemed that the girl had seen many of the Fifth Master Huiqi...

Why do you believe in Laba so much? "Xiaoji, why do you think the girl believes in Laba so much?"

Xiaoji said: "What's wrong with trusting her? The girl also trusts us!"

"But, the girl rarely takes you out recently, she always takes her out!"

"I can't run as fast as Laba..." Xiaoji looked at his fat and short legs, feeling a little worried.

This idiot! Qing He was so angry that she changed her mind and asked, "Xiao Ji, is your elder brother still not engaged?"

Xiaoji looked at Qinghe warily. What does that mean? Why are you asking this? Is she attracted to my elder brother? That's not okay!! "My parents are already in a relationship, so don't ask!"

"You!" Qing He was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Isn't this just a chat? Who likes him?

He's just a servant, and he's afraid that I'll take a fancy to him! ? Damn fat guy! I regretted telling her this, and I wanted to ask the girl about this shop.

Wen Yu sat in the car, feeling really tired and having no energy to even sit there.

"Miss, can you lean on my shoulder?" Laba said.

Wen Yu shook her head and said softly, "The road is not long, it's okay."

The beauty was too beautiful, and the wine made him bolder. Qi Wu moved, sat next to Wen Yu, and patted his shoulder...

Wen Yu's mind stopped working. She leaned back, closed her eyes, and began to fall into a daze.

She was really tired these days! She had been tense all day, and now she felt exhausted after relaxing. She didn't think about anything, but just felt comfortable and safe leaning on it.

She is so soft and fragrant...

But at this moment, Qi Wu did not have any unreasonable thoughts, but asked worriedly: "Will it be like this every day in the future?"

"No. Once the business is open and running smoothly, I will come here only when things are going well. On weekdays, I have to rely on Master Qing and Manager Du from my cousin. Li Jiang's family looks really good! When we get married, we will let them all go."

"Why... when we get married?" When Wen Yu spoke, her breath was as sweet as orchid. Qi Wu's ears turned red again and he asked softly.

"I need you as my backer to spread them out without any worries!" Wen Yu hit his shoulder with her little fist. "Otherwise, what if they become too big and swallow me up?"

“They don’t dare!”

Laba rolled his eyes and said, "Who dares?! ......"

Old Mrs. Wen was very happy today. Wen Feng drank too much and went back to his room, so she asked Wen Qian to stay.

Wen Qian felt a little dizzy, but he still told his mother what happened today in detail.

The two of them sat and sighed for a while, "Boss, did you see what Wen Yu brought to the Wen family? You might say that this is also Madam Qi and Song Shang helping her. But don't you think about why they help her? It's because she deserves help! The key is: the Wen family is the beneficiary."

"You are very knowledgeable and talented. As long as you are more stable and have the support of noble people, you will have a bright future..."

"Mother is right!"

"You have to remember that you should always put your own interests first. You can tolerate, give in, and pamper others, but in the end, it must be for your own benefit! If someone stands in your way, no matter who it is, kick her!"

Old Mrs. Wen's voice was stern and her expression was serious, and it was obvious that she was referring to something.

Wen Qian didn't say anything, but he didn't object either.
