Chapter 300 - The Young Master shouldn't be so Bad

Chuan Nayi looked over and couldn't help but raise her brows since Hao Chengyi was smiling. He then proudly pressed his hand against his c.h.e.s.t. "Congratulations, Miss Chuan. They had accepted the legality of the revised will and would surrender the ownership of the company to you. Miss Wu and Mr. Wu had been kicked out of the building for barging in with the purpose of creating a commotion."

She then smiled at him as well. "Great! What made them change their minds?"

"One of the board members got someone to look up Miss Chuan's background." Hao Chengyi didn't want to say it, but they actually let the board member's people find out things. "It seemed that they wanted to verify your connections as it was rumored that the Wu Corporation was to be immediately sold to Mr. Li. They also found out that you are betrothed to the young master of the Wu family who is indeed a recognized nephew of Mr. Li."

"I see." The smile lost the brimming glee, but Chuan Nayi didn't think too much about it. This was the business world after all. Just like the entertainment industry, success would be easier to reach if someone had anchors on other rising names. Right now, she had no choice but to keep on depending on Mr. Li to pave the way for her.

After all, she would stop if it's time for her to create a brand. That would be dependent on the combined efforts of that start-up company.

Now that the board would be recognizing her, she had to speak with them about the arrangements. However, she had indeed made it clear that she wouldn't be taking any executive position despite her temporary ownership. Things would be as if skipping her in the turnover of things.

…

Matron Yuye was folding the sheets in the drying room. She had a rather sulky face while Wu Qianqian was trying to console her. It wasn't because of what happened earlier or the matter about her betrayal to Wu Zhong. Matron Yuye was actually sulking because of one fact that Wu Qianqian didn't tell her outright.

"Honestly, Qianqian, why didn't you tell me that Chuan Nayi is the Young Madam? You even made me berate her with all my might as if she's stealing from us!" Matron Yuye started to chide her friend again. "No wonder Old Master let her have his properties. This must be his blessing. Hmph, he knew those three will steal from Young Master if he didn't safeguard it after death. He's still very generous even if Young Master didn't seem to like him.

"I mean, Old Master had made mistakes, and Young Master must be mad that Old Master didn't look for you when you were taken away by Old Madam." Matron Yuye and the entire household now had a different master so she could only refer to Wu Zhong differently. "Tch, tch, you almost harmed me, Qianqian. What will I do if she came home and I made her kick me out?"

Wu Qianqian couldn't control what the household would think of things. They were still very biased towards Wu Zhong that he was still the most venerable no matter what. Then again, Liu Li had told her that making them change their minds would be akin to punching water.

In the end, all the maids actually stayed. Perhaps some were afraid that they would be killed if they chose to leave while some felt like it wasn't any different unless Liu Xiaodan started harassing and beating them up. Then again, every time they looked at that young master, even if he seemed to be creepy and weird sometimes; he didn't look like someone who would hurt them for no reason.

Moreover, the benefits and wages stayed the same. The only difference was that…

At the main lobby…

"Are you sure you don't want to take down all of them?" Li Feng raised his brows. He and Liu Xiaodan were looking at the decorations of the main lobby. Just earlier, he called Li Feng and told him about the attack. It was because he ended up killing people out here that Liu Xiaodan felt like he should let them know. Of course, Li Feng had arrived within half an hour to check up on things.

"The maids revered Mr. Wu, and their despair and loss actually attracted a King in less than a week." Liu Xiaodan hummed as he started at the paintings and decided to remove only those which do not have the late master's face. "I don't want to make them feel like they were being forced to forget."

Liu Xiaodan referred to Wu Zhong as Grandfather only when talking to the maids. He really didn't want to call the man that way, but if he wanted to be comfortable in the man's space, he should at least get used to the fact that it used to be Wu Zhong's. Moreover, the theories of the maids were interesting.

"A King? Where is it now? Eaten?" Li Feng flinched. 

"It ran away when I had to deal with the armed men. It was just here to feed, and it probably figured that it would be eaten if it stayed any longer." Liu Xiaodan held onto his belly and felt like he was a bit bloated. It was probably Tang Mingming and Old Doctor were both digesting the souls that they harvested from the armed men. He then hummed. "It took off, and I couldn't find it anymore. Can you help me find it?"

Li Feng nodded. Since everything seemed to be fine, he just needed to report to the Mian family about the encounter. Kang Jun should know how to deal with that. It's just that… "Let's do that later. The estate is still filled with a negative aura. I might have to cleanse it to protect the maids from its influence."

A slight smile curled Liu Xiaodan's lips. "Okay. I actually called you for that as well. Since Ming and the others will be here, it might casually build up. Can you make it so that it won't?"

Sigh. Li Feng turned to the young master with a sour face. "I will only cleanse it today. If you don't want a build-up, you can ask Old Xiong to stay here with you. Yunru is loving his fur and softness too much. She is bugging me to find where to buy one of those and for me to buy ten."

"I'll ask Guangru where he found Old Xiong. Then, let's see if you can bring home ten more guardians." Liu Xiaodan snickered on his knuckle, and Li Feng only shook his head in resignation.

The maids were hiding at the side as they watched the two stand around in the main lobby. One of them actually blinked and murmured, "Young Master doesn't seem to be so bad. He's actually cute."

Another nodded. "But… he's not really… normal like… he had those things coming out of his body."

"Tch, when did top young masters become ordinary?" Another huffed. "Times are changing, and having tons of money and prestige is already normal for them and has become boring. Even that Young Master Li is a powerful shaman. Of course, our Wu family shouldn't lag behind."
