"What?" Xiaoxiao’s eyebrows furrowed. It was her first day taking over the brothel, and she had even planned to wash her hands clean of this business, yet someone dared to blatantly barge in.
"Sister-in-law, don’t worry, I’ve brought people with me; they’re just outside."
Xiaoxiao searched the room and spotted a broom. She picked it up and walked outside, calling out sharply as she went, "I’m going to see who it is."
"..." Chu Lian and Wang Xiangxiang were speechless. Was Xiaoxiao really going to handle this herself? Couldn’t she just not add to the chaos?
"Xiaoxiao." Wang Xiangxiang was somewhat worried and frightened.
"It’s fine, I’m just going out to have a look, to bolster my courage." Xiaoxiao had become recklessly brave at this moment, striding forward with a bold heart. Now that she was the boss, she absolutely could not show any weakness.
Seeing Xiaoxiao , Chu Lian and Wang Xiangxiang had no choice but to follow. As they walked, Chu Lian didn’t forget to protect Wang Xiangxiang, "Don’t wander off later; stay close to me."
The group quickly descended the stairs to the hall. Yang Ming caught sight of his wife holding the broom and hurriedly ran over to her, wrapping her in a hug, ready to leave, while anxiously saying, "Wife, I’m here to rescue you, let’s get out of here quickly."
Xiaoxiao was already dumbfounded, okay? So the intruder disrupting the place was Yang Ming; she felt like spitting out a mouthful of blood. Was this a case of sabotaging her own establishment?
She pushed Yang Ming away, asking, "Husband, did you bring those people who are causing trouble?"
Yang Ming, still concerned that his wife might be worried, comforted her, "Wife, don’t be afraid, we’ll be out of here shortly."
Xiaoxiao’s face was already lined with frustration. She wasn’t afraid at all; this was her turf. She hurriedly said, "Tell them to stop immediately."
Yang Ming was bewildered by his wife’s action. What did she mean by this?
He then glanced back and saw Chu Lian and Wang Xiangxiang, and was thoroughly confused.
Xiaoxiao’s expression turned a bit unsightly as she shouted into the hall, "Everyone, stop!"
The fighters looked towards Xiaoxiao, and the Yixiang Courtyard’s men, seeing it was their madam giving the order, ceased their actions. At this point, Yang Ming also realized that those men seemed to be taking orders directly from his wife, so he shouted to his own brothers as well, "Stop fighting."
Both sides then stopped the fight.
Xiaoxiao told the men, "This is your boss."
The fighters collectively bowed to Yang Ming, calling out, "Greetings, Boss."
The loud voices truly gave Yang Ming a start. What exactly was going on?
"Husband, please withdraw the people you brought with you."
With a glance from Yang Ming, his brothers retreated first, returning to Heaven Escort Agency.
Once those men had left, Xiaoxiao threw her arms around Yang Ming. Regardless of how many people were in the hall, she burst into tears, "Wuu, Husband, why did it take you so long to come?"
Yang Ming hugged his wife, filled with remorse, "I’m sorry, I was late; I’ve let you suffer."
At that moment, Xiaoxiao was like a child, sobbing her heart out. In fact, these past few days had been terrifying for her. Getting kidnapped and then sold was an experience she never wanted to repeat.
No matter how strong Xiaoxiao appeared to be on the outside, she was always a little woman in front of Yang Ming; it was only with him that she would let her emotions flow freely.
She clung to Yang Ming tightly, "Wuu, Husband, I missed you so much."
"Stop crying, I missed you too."
Chu Lian and Wang Xiangxiang, witnessing the unabashed embrace and the overtly mushy words of the couple, felt incredibly embarrassed. Both turned their heads away in sync, muttering to themselves about keeping such matters behind closed doors.
