Chapter 8 Port Cargo Attracts Attention

As the two were talking, the man suddenly lowered his voice: "What kind of antique is this? Aren't they cracking down on these things right now? How dare this family defy the rules?"

Shu Jie looked over with a sharp gaze, his expression somewhat displeased: "I paid to invite you here, not for you to whisper amongst yourselves. These goods are all for export, and the client values ​​this batch of goods highly. If any problems arise, I'll make sure you suffer the consequences."

The two of them immediately fell silent.

Recently, there have indeed been some goods exported, which are all large-scale transactions, and they are only assigned to manual labor.

For a moment, the people carrying goods moved in an orderly fashion, like a line of ants. Shu Jie put down what he was holding, picked up his water glass, took a sip of water, and glanced at the watch on his wrist.

“It’s already 10:30, why haven’t Mom and Dad arrived yet? If they delay the departure of the boat, who knows how much trouble it will cause later.”

Zhang Ling sat on the deck boat, took off her coat and carefully wrapped it around Yangyang, her eyes warily scanning her surroundings.

She is the daughter of Zhang Ma, a maid in the Shu family. Zhang Ma had been working for the Shu family since before Shu Ying was born.

She watched Shuying being born, watched her grow up, watched her get married, and later Shuying had another child.

She had always been the one taking care of Shuying and the children's daily needs.

However, since the year before last, her old ailments have recurred frequently, and she is getting old, so it is indeed time for her to rest.

Shu Ying simply let her stay at home and rest, and let Zhang Ling take over her work.

The night before Zhang Ling came to the Shu family, Zhang's mother gave her many instructions.

"Xiaoling, the young lady is a very good person. She won't make things difficult for you for no reason. Our family has received kindness from her, so you should repay that kindness. Once you've taken her wages, you must work diligently. You must never betray your master's family, do you understand?"

Zhang Ling simply nodded perfunctorily: "I understand, Mom. This isn't a feudal society anymore. We have an employer-employee relationship. She pays me, and I work for her. I definitely won't be fired, so don't worry."

Zhang's mother was worried and couldn't put her mind at ease, while Zhang Ling was rather impatient.

She never expected that she would encounter this kind of thing less than half a year after she started working for the Shu family.

Although her employers had never withheld her wages, she had to find a way to make a living first.

Shu Jie was also a member of the Shu family, and the only man among the grandchildren, so he was naturally more favored by the old man.

Although it's unclear why most of the assets ended up in Shu Ying's hands, Shu Jie is good-looking and would occasionally buy her some novel gadgets for girls.

Over time, Zhang Ling became completely infatuated with him. Even if she couldn't see Shu Jie for a day, she felt like a walking corpse.

Needless to say, Shu Jie only verbally agreed to take her away, and Zhang Ling chose to help him without hesitation.

“Ling, we can’t stay here any longer. I really want to spend the rest of my life with you. Find a way to take Yangyang away. My parents have already chartered a whole ship. Once we’re ready here, we’ll fly away and never come back.”

Zhang Ling's heart leaped with joy. Hearing that Shu Jie really wanted to take her away, she was so happy she almost jumped for joy.

She kissed Shu Jie on the cheek with great joy: "Young Master Shu, don't worry, I will definitely do what you asked me to do. You are my lifeline, I will do whatever you ask me to do."

Shu Jie took out two sleeping pills from the inside pocket of his clothes, gently placed them in her hand, and then lewdly groped her buttocks a couple of times.

"Then I'll wait for your good news."

Zhang Ling blushed and softly fell into his arms: "Young Master, you're so annoying."

Faced with wealth and luxury, she completely ignored her mother's advice.

That evening, she seized the opportunity, crushed the sleeping pills into powder, and put them into the two children's cups.

"Mom, just pretend you never had a daughter like me. I don't want to be someone's nanny for the rest of my life. If I follow Young Master Shu, even if I can't become his lawfully wedded wife, I can still be guaranteed a life of comfort. At least I won't have to live in the countryside and marry a peasant I don't like."

When she first entered the city, she was amazed by its prosperity, and she kept thinking about when she could integrate into it.

Following beside Shu Ying, she was stunned when she saw all the beautiful clothes in her closet.

The money Shu Ying spends on making one piece of clothing is enough for her to live on for a whole year.

Although Shu Ying paid her a good wage and never mistreated her, she was, after all, not a man.

Zhang Ling sat on the bench, looking around nervously. She couldn't feel at ease as long as the boat was still moving.

If Zhang's mother finds out about this, she'll definitely be dragged back and given a severe scolding. She might even be forced to marry someone off early.

She had long been fed up with the poverty in the countryside. She hadn't attended school for long and had little education. If she didn't change her fate while she was young, she would be stuck in those mountains for the rest of her life.

Even if she doesn't think about herself, she should at least think about her future children.

Zhang Ling looked down at Yangyang. She was worried that Yangyang might wake up halfway through, so she deliberately increased the dosage of sleeping pills in his cup.

He had been sleeping for several hours since last night and showed no signs of waking up, which secretly relieved Zhang Ling.

"You'd better sleep all the way to Hong Kong, you little bastard. You're lucky. Even with your family in such a state, the young master still remembers to take you along. If you dare to treat the young master badly when you grow up, I'll be the first to not forgive you."

Although Yangyang is a boy, he is more dependent on Shuying than Yueyue.

If he suddenly woke up before the ship even set sail, she would be in a real predicament.

At this critical juncture, who has the time to coax this brat?

Shu Jie walked over with a frown, and kicked the box next to him impatiently: "It's been so long, why hasn't he woken up yet? You didn't misjudge the dosage and kill him, did you?"

Zhang Ling placed a finger under Yangyang's nose and breath: "He's still breathing. Little boys are tough; they're bound to sleep a little too soundly. This saves us a lot of trouble. Don't worry, young master, as long as I'm not allowed to touch him, I won't do anything on my own."

Shu Jie smiled. His skin was naturally fair, unlike those greasy, smelly men who always had body odor.

Shu Jie would change his clothes every day and wear a brooch on his chest. When he spoke to women, his words were as sweet as honey.

"I know you're the most obedient. Take good care of this child, and you'll be rewarded handsomely."
