Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Chapter 317 Wait a minute.　　Xiang Bei could feel the judgmental gaze with which her mammy was looking at her but there was no way she could admit that she was indeed sacred by Lang's move can she? So, she cleared her throat and then put a stern expression on her face. These things would have worked if her face wasn't red due to the embarrassment she was feeling at the moment and the mammy behind her had also gone red in her face because of the second-hand embarrassment. Her Mommy Xiang who was supposedly the best businesswoman out in the town at the moment when it came to running a brothel and was rumoured to be ruthless was actually scared of a servant?

Though she would admit that this slave belonged to that devil-like woman and was just as scary but compared to that devil woman dealing with her servant was much easy wasn't it? So why was her mistress acting like this? If she was so scared of just a mere servant then in case that devil woman came back to revisit their tavern would her mistress go on her knees to please her? Was that it huh?

Xiang Bei didn't know that her mammy was questioning her courage and will, she only stared at Lang and with a voice that was full of authority and power, spoke up, " Of course, I knew that —— it is just that I was a bit startled nothing else. A few days ago someone tried to rob me of my money and that is why I was on alert nothing else, yeah that's right."

" So, you were robbed?"

" Pfft, of course not," said Xiang Bei as she waved her hands and haughtily sniffed. " I took care of the robbers with my bare hand and sent them packing, there is no way that I will be taken down by a bunch of burly women who don't even know whom they are going against, hahaha!"

Lang: "..." Okaayyy? But I don't believe you.

The mammy: "….." you boasted a bit too much Mommy Xiang.

The spider on the wall: "….." heh, coward.

Seeing that no one was saying anything, Xiang Bei puffed up her chest and scolded the two women in mock anger, her gaze darting between the two of them. " What you don't believe me? Is that…Is that what you are saying?" Then she turned around to look at Lang and pointed her finger at her harshly,  " I am telling you! I can totally take you down…Don't think even for a second that I am just the same as weak Xiang Bei I was before, I have been pushing my limits and now I can fight as well!" 

The spider on the wall: "….." Yawn, boast …boast as much as you want. Only I know that I can make you tap dance as soon as I descend down the floor. 

Lang didn't say anything and simply looked at the mammy who was trying to keep a straight face. Take on this sturdy woman, who can beat ten of your bodyguards, yeah right! At least make sure that your legs aren't shaking like a string that was pulled before you boast like that. From her view, the mammy could clearly see how terrified Xiang Bei was with her legs trembling and quivering if she wasn't standing behind her mistress she would have thought that her mistress finally found her lost guts but——

Alas, she was fated to only serve a gutless master.

Lang didn't believe Xiang Bei for a second, she could of course see the vibrations that were happening because of all the shaking and trembling Xiang Bei was doing but she didn't come here to fight with her, so, Lang didn't challenge whatever Xiang Bei was saying and simply put down the pictures that she was carrying with her and jutted her chin motioning Xiang Bei to take a look.

Xiang Bei didn't like how a servant was ordering her around but she still took a look at the pictures and was extremely relieved when she did not recognize anyone from the pictures. At least these kids weren't in her tavern, so she would be able to escape a beating today. She smiled triumphantly and exclaimed,  They are not in my tavern, I didn't kidnap them!"

" I know"

" Exactly that's what I was saying——" Wait a minuteeeee! Xiang Bei paused and looked at Lang who was calmly sitting in her seat waiting for Xiang Bei to catch on to her meaning. " If you know that these kids aren't here, then why are you here? What brought you here? What exactly do you want?"

" I want you to get these five kids here," said Lang with a casual shrug. 

" Huh, no wait …let me think it through." Xiang Bei didn't understand what Lang was aiming at, the woman came with that devil woman months ago to take the mers out of her tavern, right? Then why was it then now she was here asking her to take these five kids and for what? She tried to do every bit of calculation that she could and ended with only one answer—— I don't get it. She leaned forward and stared at Lang with a stern look, " Is this …Is this a joke?"

" Nope,"said Lang simply

" Then what do you want me to do with these portraits?" asked Xiang Bei looking tired as hell, she didn't get paid enough for this damn it! No, wait she was the boss here, then —— she wasn't making enough money for this bullshit!

Lang followed her suit and leaned forward as well, her expression was full of confidence. One thing that she learned from Yu Dong was that never ever try to look weak in front of anyone, the moment your weakness was shown, the enemy would stab you right where it hurts. So, she didn't falter even for a second as she stared right into Xiang Bei's eyes and said,  " I think I just told you what I want, I want you to bring these three kids here."
