Chapter 8: I Will Never Regret My Decision!
"Xin Yi, Shi Lei what is your business here. Is there any problem with the stores.". Chen Jiang asked the two that had just arrived. He had noticed those two when they were called by Chuhua just now.
He also didn't forget about Chuhua and asked "What are you doing here Chuhua? You should rest and don't make too much movement".
"I just want to pay my respect to Sister Xiu". She said courteously. It was the duty of the concubine to pay their respects to the main wife. As she is Chen Jiang's concubine now, she must carry out that duty.
Because she had Chen Jiang's child. Chen Jiang decided to make her one of his concubines. Master Chen and Madam Chen also agree with his decision to make Chuhua one of his concubines. Maybe that child in Chuhua's womb could be of use in the future.
Chen Jiang ordered the servant to bring a chair for Chuhua. Then he returned his attention to the two who is standing in front of him now. Why did they come here today?
"Like what I had asked earlier why are you two here, is there any problem with the store?". He repeated his question earlier. He didn't know why these two introverts come to visit him today.
"Where is Young Master Wei Hen?". The two asked him.
"Why did you ask me? Did he not go back to his mother's residence?". He frowned when he received this question and was dumbfounded. Did Wei Hen not go to his mother's place yesterday?
The two knew that he didn't know the whereabouts of their young master so they turned their body about ready to leave the courtyard.
Xin Yi abruptly stopped her movement and walked toward Chuhua and stopped in front of her.
Seeing this, Shi Lei also stopped his movement and stood still in his place, knowing what Xin Yi was about to do.
"X-Xin Yi?". Chuhua asked nervously. She was curious why Xin Yi suddenly walked toward her.
Pak!!!
Her face was slapped. It must hurt just hearing that sound just now.
"Whore". Xin Yi said.
"Bitch". Shi Lei added.
The two said these words expressionlessly. Xin Yi then walked to where she was before.
Chuhua who was being slapped didn't dare to fight back or utter any words. She was always afraid of these two, even though the two never scolded her before. It is just their aura is too terrifying.
"Xin Yi, what is the meaning of this?!". Chen Jiang frowned and asked her for an explanation about her brute action just now sternly. He was shocked when Xin Yi suddenly slapped Chuhua. He also worried because Chuhua was still pregnant with his child.
Xin Yi didn't respond to his question. She and Shi Lei began to move toward the entrance of the courtyard, about to leave the shitty courtyard.
Seeing himself being ignored, Chen Jiang's veins began to pop out. He is very furious right now. They were making him like an idiot in front of his wife.
"You two! I am your master! Get back here!". He almost yelled at the two.
Afraid of her baby will startle and cry, He Xiu asked the servant to take her child to the room.
The two who were at the entrance about to leave stopped. They turned their body and looked at the person who was hurting their master's feelings.
"If it then, yes. But now, you're not our master anymore". Shi Lei said.
"The rightful owner of us is Young Master Wei Hen like what was written in our indenture". Xin Yi added.
"And don't act like you are the owner of those shops". Shi Lei told him casually.
"You're incompetent". Xin Yi said, adding salt to the wound.
"Rubbish". Shi Lei said, putting some spice to the wound.
"And don't you regret what you had done to Young Master Wei Hen". He continued.
"I'll never regret my decision!". Chen Jiang retorted furiously.
"Good". Xin Yi said while grinning. But her grin can't be seen because of her veil.
"Rude!". Said He Xiu who was not speaking until now madly. These two slaves were very rude toward her husband.
"Unimportant person". Said Shi Lei.
"Insignificant people". Said Xin Yi.
When all was said and done, the two left the courtyard. Leaving the mad people in the courtyard.
"What a rude slave. No wonder they were that demon's people. They were same as uncultured as that 'demon'". He Xiu gritted her teeth in frustration. This is the first time someone rude to her. She someone from the noble clan got mocked by that two lowly slaves. If words got out, her reputation would be ruined.
"Are they not your slave?". She asked Chen Jiang angrily.
"They were bought by me and Wei Hen. But their indenture was under Wei Hen's name". He said frustratedly. He never thought these two were very loyal to Wei Hen.
Besides, why did they tell him not to regret what he had done to that Wei Hen? He will never regret what he had done when he already had a beautiful noblewoman as a wife and his cute little son.
...
Shi Lei and Xin Yi felt very satisfied when they made a little revenge for their master. They are also very contented when they can teach that slut, their former fellow slave a lesson.
They were often in conflict when it comes to their master's favor, but when it comes to their master's interest and dignity, they would become in tacit understanding.
"Shi Lei. Xin Yi!". A middle-aged man called their name when they come out of the Chen family's residence. Like he knew that they were there, to begin with.
"Zhi Peng, did you receive the news about Young Master Hen?". Xin Yi asked the bearded burly middle-aged man in front of her. He wore a black robe. His stature is straight and firm. His aura is kind of noble. There is a sword hanging at the left side of his waist. If he was still young he might be a good-looking burly man. His height is around Shi Lei's height.
"Yes, I heard about it". Zhi Peng said seriously. He was surprised when he heard about it from the messenger sent by Xin Yi.
Besides, he was also shocked when he heard one of his fellow slaves had betrayed his master. That maidservant, Chuhua is very close with Young Master Wei Hen. To the point, that they called each other the way siblings were. So he never thought out of all the servants, she was the one to betray their master.
"Have you taught that leech a lesson?". He asked the two of them.
"We had". They said in unison.
"But I think it is not enough". Said Shi Lei, dissatisfied. He didn't teach that woman physically, he only attacked her verbally. His hand felt itchy when he thought about it.
"We still have a chance to do it in the future. What important right now is to find Young Master Wei Hen". Said Zhi Peng with a stern face.
"I will bring a few servants to look for him on the outskirts of the town. One of you should do the same on the other side outskirts of the town. While the other one of you should be searching inside the town". Zhi Peng told the two of them his plan. They already dispatched people inside and outside the town but to make sure they find their master quickly they all had to participate in the search as well.
With that, all of them disperse in different directions. They didn't have enough servants, so they had to include the worker that work at the shops in the searching team. They also hired some civilians to be included in the searching team.
Just like that, that day the rumor about Wei Hen missing spread like a wildfire.
...
Chen Li was still handling his family business when he heard the customer gossipped about the person he wanted to meet so much.
Since he did it with Wei Hen yesterday, his mind was in chaos. He can't even sleep. Every time he closes his eyes, Wei Hen's face, when he's in his embrace, would flash in his mind. Today, he decided to find Wei Hen but when he was about to, he was suddenly summoned to his father's courtyard.
Because of Wei Hen's absence, their shops lacked competent managers. All of Wei Hen's servants and his close professional subordinate withdrew from their shop today. Maybe it is because they heard what happened to their master yesterday and felt mad then decided to withdraw from the shops. Even several employees who work there resigned this morning.
Chen Li still remembered his father's mad face.
"I never thought that 'demon' got so much influence!". Yelled his father, Chen Mu.
"Even the employees didn't want to work with us anymore!". Qing Hua said while gritting her teeth. Her hand was clenching her handkerchief tightly as if she wants to tear it.
" Chen Li, you go and help your eldest brother, Chen Liang to manage the stores. If can, hire some civilians to help manage the stores". His father said.
And just like that, he had to work at their shops this morning.
Before, all he does was simple tasks when he help Chen Liang manage one of their stores. It was not until Wei Hen take over all of their stores' management three years ago, that he began to slack off and didn't go to help. Even if he go, he would flirt with the female employees and customers at the store.
He didn't realize how horrible the impact of Wei Hen's disappearance on their business was not until now.
They could only open one most profitable one among their stores with the employees they had now.
Wei Hen, look... how rare you are...
He couldn't help but think of Wei Hen's face right now.
Wei Hen's blushing face when my cums flowed out of his unique private part...
He thought.
His urges to meet with Wei Hen become intense.
But his goal was shattered when he heard the information from the customer's conversation just now.
"Excuse me, are you sure what you said just now was true?". He asked nervously. He didn't want to believe what he heard just now.
"Of course ah. His close subordinates Shi Lei, Xin Yi, and Zhi Peng were leading the people to search for him all over the town. Even now they still doing it. They also hired civilians to help in the searching operation". One of the female customers answered him casually.
"Thank you". He said hastily then strode out of the store then went straight home.
He didn't care about the store because now is nearly evening and the store will close soon. Plus, his eldest brother was there.
As soon as he arrived home, he went straight to Chen Jiang's courtyard.
He saw Chen Jiang sipping tea and chatting with his wife and Madam Chen.
"Mother. Fifth Brother. ". He greeted them one by one. He called 'mother' to a woman who was not even his mother. It is a tradition since ancient times to call the main wife of one's father, a mother.
"Mm, what's your business here?". She said uncomfortably.
"I want to talk to Chen Jiang personally. May I?". He asked courteously.
"Mm, you may". Madam Chen said coldly. What is something to talk about in secrecy? She didn't dare to say these words in front of her distinguished daughter-in-law.
"Second Brother, let's talk in my study room". Saying so, Chen Jiang leads him to his study room.
"Fifth Brother, did you know that Wei Hen is missing?". Chen Li asked him as soon as they entered the room.
"What!? He's missing?". He asked dumbfoundedly.
So that is why those two introverts visited him this morning.
" You don't even know!? Do you even care about him!?". Chen Li was infuriated when he heard this.
"Serve him right! He left me, his husband. So what happens to him outside is none of my business. I'm departing to the imperial capital city the day after tomorrow. So I don't want to bother with things like this". He said irritatedly.
"You are unbelievable. He is missing!". Chen Li said in disbelief. Then stated his words again.
"He might be hiding somewhere because he can't accept the fact that I have another person. If he returns to this residence later, tell him, if he still wants to be mine he can stay at his old courtyard". He said to the fuming Chen Li.
"I will make him mine when that time comes". He said firmly.
"Did you covet what was mine, Second Brother?!". He asked Chen Li. He began to feel angry.
"You don't care about him". Chen Li retorted.
"He is mine!". He suddenly gripped Chen Li's robe around his collar. He felt mad when he imagined Wei Hen in someone else's embrace.
"You abandoned him!". Chen Li also becomes mad and does the same thing, Chen Jiang does to him.
They gripped each other robes around the collar.
"Even if it is, he not yours!". Chen Jiang yelled at him.
Suddenly, the door of the room was opened.
"Why are you two arguing!?". Madam Chen asked in bewilderment.
Seeing this Chen Li undid his action and released himself from Chen Jiang's grip.
"I must find him". Chen Li mumbled to himself. But his word can be heard by anyone in that room.
He suddenly stopped when he reached the door. He said, "Don't regret your decision in the future?" before leaving the room.
Why do all of them say the same damn thing? As a proud person, Chen Jiang will never regret all things that he has done.
I Will Never Regret My Decision!!!
