Follow me instead of your wife

" Jeez that woman nearly dislocated my shoulder," said Mo Qiang as she rolled her shoulder while trying to check whether or not she needed to visit the doctor and get her shoulder placed back in the socket.

Mo Qiang had never lived in a family before, she was an orphan with only kids around her age to play along with in the orphanage where she was abandoned by her parents, when she grew eighteen and was going to leave the orphanage she asked the head of the orphanage whether the old woman knew something about her parents or not. To her surprise, the old woman did know about her parents who abandoned her at the door of the orphanage and told her that they left her here because she was a daughter and they wanted a son.

When Mo Qiang left the orphanage, she went to her parent's house and was stunned to see that the two really got what they wished for, they had three sons, all good for nothing while living in a small rented apartment but for some reason they were happy. Back then she was filled with anger and swore that she will make them regret which was why she not only studied architecture, she even joined a company which was far better than what her brothers could ever get into —— of course, her parents later came to look for her once they saw her face in an architecture magazine.

They asked for forgiveness and Mo Qiang of course replied by having them thrown out of the company back then those two people have cursed at her to the point that they literally murdered her with their words. Because of this reason, Mo Qiang was even more reluctant to the idea of getting married and having a family, since her own left a scar.

But now, not only did she have a family but she also had a mother who was as strong as mini King Kong! And she had no idea how to deal with that woman since the one who cursed her the most was her mother.

" Ahem, if you have calmed down, can you let go of me?" She heard the little squirrel speak and looked down at Little Jiao whom she was using as a ball to squeeze out her frustration. " I mean I do understand that you are angry but I am still your boss, aren't I?"

"That's where you are wrong," Mo Qiang was no longer as scared as she was of this little thing as she was in the beginning. She calmly squeezed little Jiao and then continued to speak ignoring the peep that the thing made, " I am your partner you see? You gave me materials and in return, I help you reclaim your lost glory, do not make our relationship one that of slave and master, got it?"

Little Jiao who was being held in the fist of Mo Qiang sputtered, she wanted to say something but under another squeeze she could only helplessly agree. " All right but I am still the one with the majority of shares."

" Yeah, Yeah," replied Mo Qiang as she looked around the street ignoring the people who were ducking their heads upon seeing her and trying to make their presence as inconspicuous as possible. " Help me find that runaway child, I need to get hold of him and bring him back home or else I will lose my extra bowl of chicken porridge."

"No wonder you had no boyfriend," muttered Little Jiao under her breath causing Mo Qiang to look at her, her glare startled Little Jiao as she pointed to a dark alley and then said, " He is there."

Mo Qiang looked at the dark alley where Little Jiao was pointing and frowned, what was that mer doing in that alley? She walked towards the mouth of the dark alley and went speechless the second she looked at what was going on inside the dark alley.

Shao Hui was standing in the middle of a few thug-like-looking women, his eyes were rimmed red but he still seemed to be quarrelling with them.

" I don't know! I have no idea when she is going to pay your money back, if you have the guts go and ask her why are you cornering me here like this?" Mo Qiang heard the mer say as she stepped inside the alley and only then did she recognise these women, they were hired thugs who worked in the bar where Mo Qiang went and gambled.

Though Mo Yan repaid almost everything, she still asked for a few months to repay the rest since they needed to pay the compensation to the imperial family.

Mo Qiang: "...." These people, they just want to see her dead, don't they?

And sure enough, she heard the constant ding ding ding of Shao Hui's favourability points going down with each second.

[ Current favourability points: -730]

Mo Qiang: "..." Shall I look for a coffin now?

She looked down at Little Jiao who was snarling, from the looks of it the little squirrel was not liking this show of watching a helpless mer getting cornered as well. With a raise of her head, she stared at the group of women who were surrounding Shao Hui and then rubbed the back of her head.

Shao Hui stared at the group of women who were leering down at him, this was why he hardly ever stepped out alone of the house with Xie Jie who was tall and learned martial arts for a small role, these women stayed away from him but when they saw him alone they will come looking for him, each time and will tease and taunt him!

Just like how they were doing right now!

" Oh come one, Hui'er.." said the woman in the lead as she placed her hand on Shao Hui's shoulder. " There is no need for you to be so rude to us, we have known you for such a long time and …." She dropped her gaze at the thin yet beautiful figure of Shao Hui before strapping her eyes back up on his ethereal face as she added, " And I intend to know you even more deeply, you get what I am saying right?"
