The Girls and Their Lovers

17 Brewing Problem

Ji Xiu was sitting still in front of his laptop. His hands was busy clicking and typing from time to time. His room was full with Tang Ning pictures glued all over his wall. Any pictures from Tang Ning when she was still a rookie model, until she reached international stage. Picture when she started acting on her first two movies, and even her pictures with Mo Ting until surprisingly the most recent picture of her with Ning Xi.

Other people who did not know anything about Ji Xiu would think he was Tang Ning die hard fans. Little did they know about the hatred he had for her. In Ji Xiu eyes, Tang Ning was fake actress. She was a con actress who managed to get the best in life on top of other people sacrifices.

His mission was very clear - opening Tang Ning fake mask for everyone to see that their idol was a total scum. Every news he saw about Tang Ning, he would surely leave a bad comment, joining haters. Even though he did not need any money, he was one of the paid comment army on the internet, to leave bad comments to Tang Ning.

One moment, his room was opened from outside. An average height guy with a thick mustache and squarish face, wearing a traditional black color male qipao with golden thread embroidery in phoenix form, stood proudly with a dark cherry wood walking stick. On top of his walking stick, there was a heavy golden dragon. His aura reeked of money, power, and authority.

"Godfather!" Ji Xiu stood up and walked over to greet his godfather.

"My son, how are you? Come, sit here with your godfather."

Ji Xiu signaled the staff to go and and brew tea for his godfather. In seconds, a small youthful girl, looking very new, was walking over with the pot of tea. Since her figure was petite and small, and it was her first time delivering tea to her masters, her hands were shaking.

"Godfather, I recently bought Tie Guan Yin tea from Anxi. I know this variant of tea is your favorite. Come and try. If you like this, I will definitely order more and ask your butler to prepare this to you every morning."

"My godson very thoughtful for this old man." His dark voices rumbled echoing across the room.

Due to her nervousness, the girl slipped her hands and the tray she was holding spilled the precious tea to the floor with a loud sound.

"What are you doing? Do you know how expensive is it?" Ji Xiu raged and slapped the small servant. No wonder the new girl was terrified. Ji Xiu temper was infamous among all servants. Which was why everyone who was working at his designated area would work in silence and tried their best to run away from him,

Unfortunate for this new little girl, she got it directly from Ji Xiu on her first week. She knelt and received her punishment, wondering how worse could it be. Before Ji Xiu could land his second slap, Uncle Ji stopped him.

"Xiu Er, there is no need for violence. She can make a new pot of tea for me, right little girl?"

"Yes, Old Master. Right away." Thankful for being saved from her punishment, her movement was getting more relaxed and she right away prepared a new pot of tea.

"Godfather, you are too nice."

"Silly son. You should control your temper better. And be more understanding. Who would want to marry you in this state?"

"I cannot marry anyone until my revenge is complete. That's my promise."

"Revenge is not forever. You should think more about your future. Understand?"

"Yes, godfather. I will remember your advice. I am forever thankful for you saving my life."

"Okay, that's good to hear. I am an old man, and already feel very tired. Let me go back to my house and rest."

"I send you off." Ji Xiu started to stand up and helped Uncle Ji to walk across her room, right towards the door.

"Just send me off here, do what you supposed to do." Ji Xiu nodded and retreated back to his room, leaving Uncle Ji and his assistant behind.

Immediately after Ji Xiu left, Uncle Ji whispered to his assistant,"Bring that servant girl."

"Yes, Old Master."
