Chapter 21: 021: An Old Acquaintance

    Left at the table, Lin Tianyu and Fu Wenya had to accompany Yue Xuexia. All three of them felt uncomfortable around each other. Lin Shira and Fu Ruya made a mess and got icing on their hands and faces. Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin had to help them wash their hands and cheeks.

    Yue Xuexia decided to start the conversation.

    "You both have gotten bigger. The last time I saw you, you two were just babies. It''s nice to see you grow up well. Aunt didn''t expect to meet you guys here tonight and didn''t prepare gifts. Instead, I''ll give you pocket money, okay? Give the half to your sisters. Give me your PayP*l QR codes, please," said Yue Xuexia.

    Yie Xuexia spotted the two glancing at her phone, knowing that these two must have looked like her phone model. Modern children in this day and age know how to utilize online accounts. The two pulled out their phones, accessed their PayP*l accounts, and showed the QR code their Aunt instructs them to present.@@@@

    After sending 20,000 rmb on each account, Yue Xuexia whispered to Lin Tianyu and Fu Wenya.

    Yue Xuexia said teasingly, "You like aunt''s phone model?"

    Lin Tianyu and Fu Wenya honestly nodded their heads.

    "Then I will order some for you. What color do you want?" asked Yue Xuexia.

    Lin Tianyu answered, "Space Gray."

    "Purple," replied Fu Wenya.

    Yue Xuexia said, "Noted. I will send it to your home. Be sure to receive it on your own okay? I make them send it on the weekend so you can receive it yourself."

    Lin Tianyu and Fu Wenya were delighted and said, "Thank you, Aunt Xue!"

    "You''re welcome. I need to go now. Tell your Grandpa and Grandma for me, okay?" said Yue Xuexia as she prepared to leave.

    "We will Aunt Xue!"

    Yue Xuexia left before the other two brats came back and let her go home. Lin Tianyu and Fu Wenya remembered the money their Aunt had sent and checked on it.

    Lin Tianyu said, "Aunt Xue is so pretty."

    "Yes, she is so beautiful. I want to become like her when I grow up!" said Fu Wenya.

    Lin Tianyu said, "That... Just do your best."

    "You! Hmp! I will become a fairy-like Aunt Xue you wait and see... I wonder how much Aunt Xue had given us as pocket money. I have 1,500 rmb savings in my PayP*l Account originally," said Fu Wenya.

    Lin Tianyu said, "I have 3,000 rmb savings. Aunt Xue says to give Shira and Ruya half. I wonder how much she gave us."

    [Your bank card account ending with 1122 had received a deposit transfer from Miss Yue Xuexia at 6:00 pm. You had received a 20,000 rmb deposit and your current saving balance is 23,000 rmb (Summer Field landbank)]

    [Your bank card account ending with 1123 had received a deposit transfer from Miss Yue Xuexia at 6:05 pm. You had received a 20,000 rmb deposit and your current saving balance is 21,000 rmb (Summer Field landbank)]

    Fu Wenya said in shock, "Brother Tianyu, there are five numbers. Did I count it wrong?"

    Back to reality...

    Fu Meiran asked coquettishly, "Brother~, do you know who is coming?"

    [A/n: The brother in this sentence didn''t mean blood ties but instead a form of intimacy called ladies used to allure men.]

    "I don''t know much about my little sister. I only heard from the Assistant manager that a bigshot is coming."

    "I overheard it too. They say the owner of the hotel is coming over to stay the night. Executive Manager Zhan was excited when he heard that. The owner rarely visits after all."

    "I also heard that the owner is like a fairy descending on earth. Her beauty is even above those celebrities on television."

    "Prettier than me, brother~?" asked Fu Meiran. Putting on a display of full seduction, the other male staff swoon in her presence.

    "No one is prettier than Fu-meimei."

    A restaurant waiter from the hotel who had seen the appearance of Yue Xuexia before said otherwise. Some more staff from the restaurant area agreed with this brother''s words.

    "The owner is a goddess! Why compare her with a mortal? That''s a waste of time."

    "That''s right! We''ve seen her before. She is a perfect lady!"

    "The word fairy pales in comparison to being used on her. She is like an immortal instead.".

    "Really? The owner is that beautiful!?"

    Fu Meiran was envious of these remarks because, like the former Yue Xuexia, she detested all women who were both richer and prettier than she was. However, Yue Xuexia''s descent into poverty gave her a boost in confidence, even though the rumors alone were enough to turn her against the owner she had never seen before.

    Fu Meiran commented, "She is rich, maybe she has undergone countless surgeries."

    It was at this point that Executive Manager Zhan couldn''t help but scold them especially when Fu Meiran belittled the owner in his face.

    Manager Zhan said, "Who are you to spread those kinds of rumors!? Is the owner someone you can reach in your life? How shameless to talk behind people like that. Watch your mouth in front of the owner or I will fire you, Receptionist Fu."

    "I... I... I''m sorry..." said Fu Meiran.

    Fu Meiran, who used to be severely spoiled by the staff since she was the sweetheart of the middle-aged man assistant manager who was directly behind Executive Manager Zhan, stammered as she described how scared she was by the Executive Manager''s apparent lack of interest.

    Executive Manager Zhan glares at his assistant and warns, "Watch over your lover. If the owner decided to thoroughly check the staff''s relationship, I wouldn''t be surprised if she fired all your lovers."

    "Yes. Yes. Executive Manager Zhan, I will keep your words in mind," said the Assistant Manager while cursing nonstop in his mind.

    At this very moment, a familiar-looking Rolls-Royce Dawn pulled up in front of the hotel; Executive Manager Zhan was ecstatic to see it and even assisted in opening the driver''s door.

    Executive Manager Zhan greeted, "A pleasant evening to the mistress. This Zhan had prepared everything for the owner''s stay. I will let someone else park your car, Eldest Miss Yue."
