Chapter 39: Clash and Beating_1
"Bang!"
The storeroom door was slammed shut, and Bu Shi Ren stormed back into the accounting room. He slammed his hand furiously onto the table, frightening the other accountants nearly to the point of dropping their ledgers.
At that moment, a little maid, trembling with fear, brought in a freshly brewed cup of tea. Bu Shi Ren, feeling parched and tongue-tied, picked it up and poured it into his mouth without thinking. The maid couldn’t stop him in time, and Bu Shi Ren was scalded and started to yell in chaos. With a careless throw, the remaining half cup of tea splashed all over the maid, scalding her to the point of tears, yet she dared not cry out loud.
"Insolence! Even you, this lowly wench, don’t have me in your eyes, huh? You’re practically begging for death!"
Bu Shi Ren had just been frustrated by Mo Qingze, and with his rage already kindled, the scalding only added fuel to the fire. Without a second thought, he slapped the maid hard across the face and followed with a heavy kick to her waist.
The maid fell to the ground, her small face swelling at a visible rate, and the corner of her mouth cracked open from the force, showing how viciously Bu Shi Ren had struck her.
"Shopkeeper Bu, sob sob, this servant dares not, this servant won’t dare again, please spare this servant!"
The little maid knelt on the ground, shaking miserably, her forehead thudding against the floor, which quickly turned a shade of blue and purple.
