Xiao Hua was really relieved in his heart. Last night he was really worried although he was the one who came with the idea he was really worried about whether or not Yu Dong will come.
He knew it in his heart that this was his own mess and he and Yu Dong were nothing but strangers and that was even more so now that Yu Dong was no longer infatuated with him.
The money he had asked from her was not a small amount either.
Why will she waste that money on him who never helped her? She had a child and three husbands, from his observation he was very clear about the matter that Yu Dong treated her husband really well.
So why will she care about him wasn't it better to keep those thirty or so golden taels for the future? Xiao Hua knew that the amount he asked for wasn't something just anyone could come up with.
He was certain that Yu Dong might just forget everything and not come to redeem him. But she did come for him. Xiao Hua felt his heart that was hanging in his throat finally settle down in his chest.
She was here and that's all that mattered. Xiao Hua's heart was filled with gratitude but apart from the gratitude there was something else as well a twinge of sweetness that he couldn't understand and took as nothing but genuine relief.
Xiang Bei waited for Xiao Hua to come and stand next to her. After all she was his boss even if Xiao Hua did not want to admit it there was nothing he can do right?
Who made the Empress hate the Mers so much that she made such a disparity in status between women and the Mers.
The tavern was hers and so was Xiao Hua he have to listen to her even if he didn't want to.
Xiao Hua did not come to stand went to her but instead went to stand next to Yu Dong surprising her completely.
When did this happen… Does Xiao Hua actually choose to stand next to Yu Dong?
Didn't he say that Yu Dong was like a sticky piece of trash that had nothing but lust in her eyes?
That he would rather starve to death than to ever let her touch even an inch of his clothing? Now, what was this?
Xiang Bei examined Yu Dong's clothing and then her gaze raked over Yu Dong's sharp and clean features and she coldly sneered.
Haha sure enough those big words were nothing but lies weren't they? When she told Xiao Hua to agree to the rich madam's proposal he refused saying that he would never do something so lowly as selling himself to a woman.
Now what was this? Didn't he get together with Yu Dong behind her back? In the end, it was all about having money and good looks wasn't it?
Yet he made himself sound so righteous or if he was a piece of good fat meat of a swan and she was an ugly food who was trying to smuggle the swan to a lake filled with an ugly goose!
Haha those big words were nothing but lies. No wonder Xiao Hua was so resolute in refusing that old rich Madam it was because he got together with Yu Dong.
If not for Yu Dong sitting here she really wanted to rush and remove Xiao Hua's sleeves to check whether he was still a virgin or not.
This foolish and narrow-minded Mer! He cannot figure out good from bad Yu Dong seduced him with her good looks and he was seduced just like that!
She will admit that Yu Dong was good looking now that she does not have those cowardly dodgy eyes and her complexion was no longer the yellow sickly self.
But the real question is -can she fork out the same amount the rich madam was willing to pay for Xiao Hua?
She was willing to pay her a hundred of silver taels. That was like giving her one gold tael for someone like Xiao Hua whose temper was so arrogant. He who didn't put anyone in his eyes and he was getting old too!
He was going to be eighteen in a few months and Xiang Bei wanted to milk Xiao Hua for all he was worth it but looks like she would not be able to do that no!
She will get that money if Yu Dong was here for Xiao Hua then she will just have to squeeze Yu Dong dry!
"Ah Yu Dong if you were here for this you should have just told me. I would have discussed the matter with you there was no need to call Hua Hua." Xiang Bei hid her seething resentment and smiled like a blooming flower.
"I must say that your perseverance really worked. Who here doesn't know how well you treated Hua Hua. It's great to see that your affections are finally being reciprocated. Ahh you didn't dote on Hua Hua in vain."
When Xiang Bei said this she cast a look of ridicule at Xiao Hua making the latter fume. He knew it he knew that even if he were to redeem himself he will never be able to get rid of this stain on his existence.
Even if he never sold his body. He would still be called an entertainer of a brothel! But it wasn't his fault! His mother made this tavern for Mer's to show off their talents yet his cousin made it nothing but a lowly brothel it wasn't his fault was it?
Yu Dong was too lazy to bother with Xiao Hua's ugly expression. This path was what the latter had chosen so there was nothing she could do in it.
She calmly smiled and slid the list that held the names of the thirty or so Mers and smirked. "My perseverance is indeed quite fearsome because I just don't want just him but even all of them."
Xiang Bei picked up the list that held the names of the Mers and her complexion turned green.
