Young Master Liem
Chapter 35 Wan Siang's Anger

The day of return to Semarang is a day that is always awaited by Wan Siang. He not only returned home, but also anchored his thoughts and feelings to the Sweet One he loved.

But there was something special about Wan Siang's return that time, because he brought good news for the Sweet, about his new contract with NV. Kwee Kiaw Tjin, a sizable cigarette company owned by the Chinese in Kudus.

The success of Nitisemito in building and managing cigarette factories makes trade competition in the cigarette industry increasingly stretched. People see there is a huge market for cigarettes, and the opportunity is not missed by Chinese people who are always looking for various business opportunities.

New cigarette factories are emerging. The increase in cigarette factories caused the need for tobacco to also be greater, and there Wan Siang company took the role.

After exiting the station, Wan Siang cheerfully headed to his house in a horse carriage. He wanted to inform the Sweetie about his success in establishing a contract the other day.

But after Wan Siang reached home, the house looked deserted. There was no sign of Sweet. Wan Siang initially thought the girl was in one room in his house, but after he checked all the rooms, the Sweet One was never found.

Wan Siang was then struck by panic. He called out the name of the Sweet One, but the girl did not appear.

“Sweet... Where are you? Sweet... Sweet...!!!”

Wan Siang then asked one of the maids he met.

“You know where Sweet is? Is he going shopping? But she never shopped on the day I came home.” Wan Siang became very panicked.

The maid he met could only look down, he sobbed for a long time because he was afraid to mix sadly.

“Why cry, what is this?”

“Non Sweet, she.. go from home, Mr.”.

Wan Siang was inexhaustible with the answer from his maid. According to Wan Siang, the Sweet One will not just leave without saying goodbye.

“I know something's wrong here. Tell me.”

“The big lady came yesterday, to meet Miss. Then. and then he scolded Miss. Miss was also slapped and kicked out of this house by the big madam.”

The heartbreaking story just told by the maid made Wan Siang's heart like a dagger, so painful. He never thought that his mother could do such a cruel thing to the girl he loved. Indirectly, his mother had hurt Wan Siang, as she had done since Wan Siang was a child.

“Then, where are you all? Why doesn't anyone prevent Sweet from leaving?”

“We are all afraid of the Madam, Sir must know, she...”.

“Are you not afraid of me? I command you to look after and pay attention to Miss's needs. But when he was hurt, you guys didn't defend?”

“Im sorry Mr. We cannot do anything, u...to help Miss.”

“Already, I don't want to accept your excuses anymore!”

After that Wan Siang lifted his suitcase again and left the house. The maids did not know where their employers were going, whether only for a while or forever. What is clear is that his departure was accompanied by a sense of disappointment, so that no one can be sure when he returns.

Wan Siang's goal was his parents' house. Everyone who saw Wan Siang in a black suit, white shirt, and black hat were shocked, especially Wan Siang carrying a sizable suitcase.

“Where is Mama?” Wan Siang asked Siaw Cing who he had first met.

“Why Engkoh carrying a suitcase and looking for Mama?”

“Mama has made a big mistake. Quickly tell me where Mama.” is Siaw Cing shuddered in horror at the look on Wan Siang's face that seemed to be filled with anger.

“Will I call Mama.”

Siaw Cing fulfilled Wan Siang's wish and called out to his mother who was dressing herself in the room. Mrs. Liem was about to go see his friends at a party. He forced himself to smile at the arrival of his eldest son.

“Tumben you want to meet Mama,” said Ny. The well-dressed Liem prepared to leave.

“Mama should know more about the meaning of my arrival here.”

“You must want to ask why Mama told the girl to leave, right?” said Ms. Liem's.

“Mama not only drove him away, but also tortured him. Indirectly, Mama has also tortured me. Mama has hurt me,” said Wan Siang.

“Because Mama can't let you marry that village woman.”

“She is not a Ma village woman. He's the light of my life. Without him, I would walk without direction. After Papa destroyed my efforts, it felt like I just wanted to die. Thankfully, the sweetie helped. If now I try to succeed, it's all because of the Sweet One. I'm trying to get up, because I want to make her happy.”

Wan Siang explained his feelings to the Sweet One in front of his mother, who was still sculpting.

“Are you not aware of your position? You're my son, Mama doesn't want to have a daughter-in-law. Mama shy!”

“Hahahaha. Just because it's that Mama could ruin my life and Sweetie?”

“This concerns the honor of a large family, do you not understand also?”

“Don't say this for the sake of family honor. This is solely for the benefit of Mama.”

Wan Siang's gaze was sharp as it pierced her inner self. Liem's.

“So Mama won't accept The Sweet?”

“No, I don't want.”

“Well, if you don't want to accept it, I'd better get out of your life too. Mama already kicked him out, so I have no reason to stay here.”

“What?! You want to leave Mama for the village girl? I'm your mama, Wan Siang. Without Mama, you wouldn't have been born into this world.”

“Sometimes I ask... Why should you be my Mama? Mother who always gives pain to her children. Who always wants to win by themselves and be cruel to others. Why should I have a Mama like that?”

Wan Siang's words really made Mrs. Liem was angry, because what his son said showed his bad nature. No one ever dared to state that blatantly, and when Wan Siang revealed it, Ms. Liem became very angry.

“Quite, you've gone too far, Wan Siang!”

“Mama, whatever happens, I will marry the Sweet One.”

“So you plan to elope?”

“I have no other choice. It was my mother who forced me to take this path.”

Mrs. Liem almost did not believe the steps that Wan Siang would take, if others heard the story of eloping Wan Siang with a village woman, it would certainly destroy the honor of his extended family.

“If you elope, what will people say? You should be happy, because there are women like Miss Hu who want to be your wife. She's a lady from a distinguished family. But you chose to elope with the village girl. You're really crazy.”

“Then we will disappear from Mama's life. So that no one else knows, so that Mama can live a quiet life.”

Mrs Liem was almost out of words to prevent Wan Siang from carrying out her marriage plan.

“Koooh Siaw Cing who heard Wan Siang's plan to elope and disappear from his family, could not help but cry. He was not ready to lose his brother.

“Siaw Cing, you must understand that I have no other choice.”

“But I'm sad that Engkoh left.”

“Until every time you're still the little sister I love. Our relationship will forever not break,” said Wan Siang.

Then he said to Mrs. Liem, “Now it's my turn to say goodbye to Mama. Goodbye Mama.”

Wan Siang lifted his suitcase, then left the house. Moods of Mrs. Liem became so bad, that it was impossible for him to go to a party. Siaw Cing constantly cried when he saw Wan Siang leave. Wan Siang never once looked back, his heart was firm to maintain his true love. The true love he wants to hold until the end of his life.
