Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 8 - 00 - Guests

As anticipated, Yue Xuexia slept in late the following day, as did her sisters, who stayed up late looking over their new outfits, playing with the freshly groomed Shih Tzu at home, and generally not getting any sleep at all.

After a day of shopping, Yue Xuexia, who is a homebody, would be exhausted and in pain all over, especially since the eldest child had fallen asleep as soon as dinner was completed and the other two children had been up all night.

Nobody woke up early the following morning, with the exception of Mama and Papa Yue, who prepared breakfast for just the two of them because they knew their three daughters—Yue Xuexia in particular, with her weak physique, would not wake up early after being awake all evening and exhausted from yesterday's shopping excursion.

At 3:00 in the afternoon.

After her younger sisters woke up at 1:00 pm and had a late brunch, Yue Xuexia finally woke up from her sleep. She looked out of her window at her sisters playing on their phones and tablets on the bed across from hers, and realized it was already afternoon.

Yue Ruxia woke up and said, "Dajie, you're awake. Mama cooked Braised pork belly for lunch and carbonara in the afternoon."

"Hm~"

Yawns~

She just woke up and was stretching her numb limbs when she heard her system's grumpy voice ringing in her head.

[You are finally awake. So lazy~... I'll activate the Sign-in System.]

[Signed in successfully. Congratulations to the host and you've received the Moonlight Lake Mansion at Silver Waves District!]

Yue Xuexia replied with her thoughts, 'A villa? Moreover, in the most expensive district in the city. What does it look like?'

[I will show you a picture in your mind. The property deed had been issued in the system storage. Miss Yue, please take note.]

'Please and thank you once again, System!' replied Yue Xuexia in her head.

The images she saw in her mind were of an enormous white villa with two stories and a large interior area, a large courtyard with a garden and a swimming pool, and a backyard with farms, greenhouses, and orchards. This was the most opulent and ultimate version of a countryside villa, possibly the largest in their city. The city the Yue Family was in was a provincial city, but it was far more modernized than the pure rural place.

Yue Xuexia said, 'Please send these photos as a pdf file. Including the other villas for sale which are within the requirements of what my family would like.'

[What requirements?]

"A private property and neighbors would be a few blocks away from the main house. Large garden and swimming pool. With an extra farming area and a place where horses or other animals can be grown, especially cows, chickens, and such."

[Doesn't the Moonlight Lake Mansion fit the bill?]

'I still want them to make a choice on their own. If they choose this mansion then, it should be fine, if not then I will buy the house they wanted to live in too,' said Yue Xuexia.

[I will gather the pictures and details of some villas and mansions within your requirements and have them sent to your house as soon as possible.]

'Your best, System!'

[Hmp! Is Miss Yue going to open a Novice Gift Bag today?]

'Yes! Open it!'

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting Violet Level Talent Scroll for Computer Programming and Hacking.]

"Wow~" Yue Xuexia exclaimed.

Yue Jixia asked with a bewildered expression on her face as they suddenly heard their eldest sister exclaim out of nowhere.

"What's wrong, Dajie?" asked Yue Jixia.

Yue Ruxia said, "Are you hungry? I will reheat the rice, braised pork, and carbonara. Let's eat together."

"Okay. I will wash my face first. By the way, a delivery might arrive today. Our new bank cards would be delivered by the bank. Receive it for me if it arrives while I'm bathing," said Yue Xuexia.

The scent of marinated pork in sweet and soy sauce assaulted Yue Jixia's nose as she played with her tablet, and then she noticed that Yue Xuexia had gone to the bathroom to refresh herself. Yue Xuexia saw the delicious meals on the dining table, and the scent of milk and sweetness came from the carbonara, her favorite pasta that made her drool. Above each plate, there was a white smoke, clearly reheated to a temperature that would warm her stomach.

Grumbles~ growls~

Yue Xuexia murmured, "Smells so delicious~ hehe~" her stomach grumbled in protest. She hasn't eaten anything for the whole day.

Yue Ruxia heard her elder sister's tummy growling and couldn't help but laugh.

"Dajie, come eat with us. It's super delicious~" said Ruxia.

Next to her, Yue Jixia was devouring the carbonara while watching a YouTube video titled Nukes. Nukes uploads a scary compilation of actual horror occurrences, and the three siblings' favorite past times are watching his subscription at dinner.

Yue Xuexia said, "Nukes? Is there a new upload?"

"There is a newly posted one. Let's watch while we eat," said Yue Jixia.

Yue Xuexia said, "Let's put a television in the dining area in the new house. One with remote control through the internet and watching Nukes on a widescreen."

"Hahaha~ can we still eat properly that way? What if a ghost suddenly appeared? Would Dajie once again jump out of the chair?" said Yue Ruxia.

Yue Jixia commented, "It's not like you are any different."

"Don't worry. Let's plan it well. At least, let's build a theater in our new house so whenever we want to watch a movie, it would be like watching in cinemas," said Yue Xuexia. "Just don't watch your Nar*to the big screen, Ruru. That would be a bit annoying. You've marathoned it multiple times already. Instead, let's watch One Piec*~"

"We should look for the house first before planning the interior design," said Yue Jixia.

Yue Ruxia commented, "It's Dajie who was planning to build a theater room already when we haven't found a house yet."

"Shut up! Just eat your food," said Yue Xuexia.

Abruptly, they heard their doorbell ring. The workers had fixed the doorbell as a service yesterday, following the roof repair.

Ding. Dong. Ding. Dong.

"Someone is outside. Go check it, Ruru," said Yue Xuexia.

After Yue Ruxia finished her meal before the three of them did, she went outside to see who was there. She saw that a few men in opulent suits had materialized in front of their house gates; there were at least three or four men outside the house, each with a different type of suit and different color; the only thing they had in common was that they were carrying boxes that appeared to be gifts.

After a moment of hesitation, Yue Ruxia approached the gate and stood at her house's unlocked gate, which she was afraid to open since she thought they were terrible people.

Yue Ruxia asked, "H-Hello... Who are you here for?"

The Yue Family's home has at least two opulent model automobiles parked outside. One is a black Lexus Sedan UX 200, and the other is a Titan Gray Bentley Flying Spur. Both have straightforward exteriors, but anyone familiar with cars would realize how costly these are.

Two groups of guests are waiting outside the house; one group recognized Yue Ruxia as the secretary of Chen Huan, the owner of Marigold Mall; yesterday, in the mall, the boss gave the three ladies from the Yue Family a gift of waived fees for everything they purchased; this was done as a gesture from CEO Chen.

Secretary Qu instantly changed his mind after seeing the Rolls-Royce Dawn parked nonchalantly inside the modest-looking house. The car is three times more expensive than the business car his boss uses for work. Initially, Secretary Qu believed there was something wrong with the address his boss had sent him.

"Miss Yue Ruxia, I'm Secretary Qu, Mr. Chen Huan's confidant. We met yesterday."

Yue Ruxia, who remembered the name of Uncle Chen but doesn't recall Secretary Qu's face, said, "Uncle Chen's secretary? Are you here for my Dajie?"

Secretary Qu smiled and said, "Yes. There is something I need to give Lady Yue."

With a nod, Yue Ruxia turns to face the other man in the black suit who is standing silently by the gates. Upon noticing her attention, the man says hello.

"Greeting, Third Young Miss Yue. I am the director of Autumn Field Bank, Wang Ling. Under the orders of the elder I came here to deliver the customized cards ordered by the Eldest Lady, Miss Yue," said Director Wang.

"Autumn Field bank? Ah! I remember. Please wait for a moment. I will call my eldest sister," said Yue Ruxia as she ran back inside the house with naive movements as if she wasn't from a rich family. "Dajie! You have guests! One is from Uncle Chen and the other is from the bank!!"

Secretary Qu and Director Wang, who were left standing outside the house, could only smile pitifully. This was the first time they had been ordered to wait outside the house without even being invited to sit inside. Given their higher status, they should not have been overly courteous to young people like Yue Ruxia and Yue Xuexia, who had told their superiors to treat this Yue family like royalty.

They were both calm as they waited. Secretary Qu was especially stunned when Director Wang appeared here in person just to deliver cards.

Secretary Qu spoke, "This is the first time this humble one meets Director Wang of Autumn Field Bank. A pleasure."

"Please don't be polite. I am only here under the orders of Senior Tian to personally deliver customized cards from our bank to Eldest Miss Yue," said Director Wang.

Sire Tian Qiuji is a well-known figure in higher echelons of society; his Autumn Field Bank is an international affiliated bank in the country with about 300 branches worldwide, and when the name Senior Tian was uttered even Secretary Qu was taken aback.

"Old Master Tian's orders? Does Miss Yue know him? But how? Why?"

"I also do not understand, but... I heard her money comes directly from the International Stock Exchange. Elder Miss Yue's deposit comes in dollars, and it's in millions per transaction."

The two were having their own conversation, and they didn't notice Yue Xuexia's arrival. She herself was confused about these people.

Her thoughts asked her system, 'Who are these guys?'

[That guy with glasses in the suit is Chen Huan's secretary. I've asked Chen Huan to find you some houses and lots that are for sale for you. The other stern-looking man in a dark blue suit is someone your Grandpa Tian had sent to give you the cards you've requested.]

Yue Xuexia asked, 'Can't they just send an ordinary delivery man from L*X or LB* to deliver the goods?'

[They won't. They want to make friends with you as your future looks bright. I saw you playing with stocks after eating something fun?]

'Yea. Bought a few more good things and withdrawn the ones whose proficiency ends today. By the way, System. Grandpa Wang is the head of the Wang Family, right? The owner of Huangdi Financial Company? Chen Huan is from the Chen Family who owned most malls in the country, not only Marigold but also Marigold Hotels. Their rival owned the second largest mall, Silverstone Mall right?'

[Correct. Is there... something wrong?]

'I saw their stocks in the Market. I think I saw someone sell their company shares secretly. I saw it just now. Italy branch Autumn Field bank shares are being sold. Moreover, I saw Silverstone Company buying the fourth largest mall shares. It is also a bigger cut. Is that a conspiracy?' asked Yue Xuexia innocently.

[....]

Yue Xuexia asked, 'Should I tell them or not?'

[I think that choice depends on you. Do you like to help them both?]

'I had already received gifts from the two. I think... They are not bad people? Can I help them?' asked Yue Xuexia.

Upon witnessing his own host pose such an absurd query—the majority of entrepreneurs would exploit such knowledge and resell it for a fat profit—she is now considering offering to assist them at no cost.

Her system's thoughts, 'She is indeed a simple and a good person. I think there is a mission about helping a friend or two without asking for an exchange and with an open heart. Let's get that for her.'

Yue Xuexia approached the guests and said, "Ahno~ I'm Yue Xuexia. Ruru says you came here for me?"

She is dressed in her home clothes, a cute pair of bunny pajamas. Secretary Qu and Director Wang noticed that she is quite a beauty, a little shy but not too timid that she does not approach people. She is holding an iPad Air tablet in her hands and wearing anti-radiation glasses, which allow them to see that she is, in fact, a stock manipulator in the Stock Exchange Market. She has a VVVIP account.

Director Wang's thoughts, 'A VVVIP stockholder account. It means she had hands with the international brand stock markets, even famous corporations abroad. But she looks only in her twenties. Is she a genius?'

'She looks so young. The boss told me to pass some information about houses and lots which are for sale in expensive districts just for her. Don't tell me she can afford those? She even specially asked about the Moonlight Lake Mansion which was bought full by a mysterious buyer. Is she interested in that Mansion too? But that cost at least a few billions.' Thoughts of Secretary Qu at this moment.

The first one to speak was Director Wang. He asked his driver to pass him a small leather box from his car and approached Yue Xuexia with a smile.

"Eldest Miss Yue. Here are the customized cards for the Yue Family. Our Autumn Field Bank has done our best to create the most perfect designs for your cards. Please check," said Director Wang as he opened the leather box revealing a colorful light metal card inside.

The card itself costs a few million dollars. The colors range from black to white, pink, apple green, and charcoal blue. Each car has an exquisite golden color autumn design made of pure gold and diamonds. The designs are simple yet elegant, making it easy to guess that each of these colorful cards can be a black card in any bank with just a quick glance.

Yue Xuexia looked over her card and picked out the black one, which had a black backdrop with tiny gold autumn leaves strewn all over it. Her initials, Xuexia, are also small diamonds.

"It looks pretty. Please tell Grandpa Wang I say thanks," said Yue Xuexia to Director Wang as she received the box and placed it at the veranda table for a bit as there were still guests.

Director Wang next brought out a cute-looking black box from his car. The scent of sweetness coming from the box made Yue Xuexia interested.

"Please take this as well. The Master heard from the Old Master that you love the pastries that macaroons the Old Master had given you. Please accept."

Yue Xuexia is a lot happier to accept this box of treats which she likes more than the card.

"Thank you, Director Wang," said Yue Xuexia with an exquisite smile on her face.

Director Wang's thoughts, 'She is happier to receive the treats than the special bank card as the Old Master had said. She is indeed innocent for her age. If not for seeing the contents on her tablet I would have thought she is an ordinary person.'

"Then... I had completed my task. I shall take my leave now, Eldest Miss Yue."
