Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess-Chapter 87 - 0: Attending a Wedding (5)

Ru Lanyu and Yue Xuexia observed the subdivision’s front and noticed that everything was in order. They can see security patrols in the vicinity because this is an upscale subdivision primarily inhabited by artists employed by HYBE Corporation. Reporters and the media are not allowed to enter this location and will be apprehended at the gate, preventing them from even trying to enter.

Xiao Muen and Ru Lanyu noticed the coldness in Yue Xuexia’s eyes and couldn’t help but ask, "Is there something wrong with this place?"

"This residence looks secure. You don’t think so?"

"If it was truly secured, the guards at the gate must not be bribed for the Han family to be able to get inside without invitation," said Yue Xuexia.

The two of her friends remained silent since they agreed with what she had said. Since there has already been one breach, there may be more in the future. They are now beginning to worry about what will happen to Lin Ruri after the wedding and when they get back to their home country. Lin Ruri’s life will not be as easy in this country, since her husband is the only person who can support her, especially when her prospective mother-in-law and father-in-law despise her.

Yangyang, who is in his avatar for and can only be heard and seen by Yue Xuexia, noticed that her mood was not as good as before. Even the delight brought forth by the system had diminished because of the situation of her good friend.

[If you are truly worried, you can just have them move in one of your properties. You have two buildings for condominium mansions and penthouses in Gangnam. The guards in your properties would never accept bribes as their salaries are above normal.]

Yue Xuexia’s mood was lightened by that advice. She thanked Yangyang and finally, a smile appeared on her face. This change was noticed by her friend, who felt that the heavy atmosphere in the car had lifted seeing her smile like this.

Ru Lanyu clung to Yue Xuexia’s arm and asked, "In a good mood again, what made you happy this time?"

"I just thought since the security in this place is bad, I will just give a penthouse to Lin Ruri as an additional wedding gift. The security in my property would definitely not accept bribes. Xiao Ru and our future niece or nephew will be safer as they grow up," said Yue Xuexia.

Upon hearing this, Ru Lanyu and Xiao Muen got tired of going against her. From giving condominium to shares, then to penthouses. They didn’t react anymore and let her do as she wanted. As long as she is happy, everything is fine.

The house of Han Yoonjun and Lin Ruri is a small mansion good for newlywed couples. This house is already good enough for Xiao Muen and Ru Lanyu. But for Yue Xuexia, it felt small, especially since the couple is about to have a child of their own. Before Yue Xuexia could comment about the house, Lin Ruri happily welcomed their arrival. Following behind her is a nanny who was hired by her fiancé to keep the house in order and watch over his pregnant wife.

Lin Ruri hugged her three friends, one by one. The three were delighted upon finally seeing their friend in flesh after all these years. Ru Lanyu even started crying, as she truly missed Lin Ruri like the rest. They were very careful when hugging her, as they knew that Lin Ruri was pregnant.

"Xuexue! Lanlan! Mumu!"

"Ah! Careful. No need to run away excitedly. Take your time," said Ru Lanyu to Lin Ruri, who wanted to hurry to the kitchen and serve some food for her guest.

Xiao Muen was also a bit worried and said, "Xiao Lan is correct. It’s okay for the food to be served slower. Don’t worry about much."

Yue Xuexia nods at her friends’ words. "No need to move. Your nanny and my bodyguard can serve the food in your place instead. Sit down, Xiao Ru."

There were some bodyguards that came with them and were ordered to help in the kitchen. She even gestured for Tan Bingyu to stand guard at the door while the nanny and the other people were busy in the kitchen.

Lin Ruri and the other two noticed how Yue Xuexia made sure that the only ones living were the four of them. Obviously, Yue Xuexia wanted to ask Lin Ruri what happened yesterday. Their call was abruptly cut off, and Lin Ruri’s state isn’t as good as before.

Yue Xuexia looked at Lin Ruri, who looked nervous under her stare. "Xiao Ru, I, Lanlan, and Mumu are your friends. We can become your greatest support as long as you need our help. We will do our best to help you as long as you want us to help. Your voice yesterday. You said you just woke up, but that hoarseness is something only one can have. They cried for a long time. Though I’ve already investigated what happened, I still don’t know the details. Please tell us what happened, Xiao Ru."

Lin Ruri stalled. She was aware that Yue Xuexia had returned to affluence, but not to the extent that she could estimate her assets in the same way that Ru Lanyu and Xiao Muen could. She believed that although Yue Xuexia may be prosperous, that should not apply to Korea, the other nation. She has no idea what would happen to her friends and family if they offended the Han family, who own this land. She does not want to burden them. This explains Lin Ruri’s reluctance.

Just as Lin Ruri was about to make excuses, Ru Lanyu held her hand and stared straight into her eyes. Ru Lanyu said, "I will believe you if you tell me your next words while staring at me. If you don’t look me in the eye, I will not believe your words, Ruru!"

Lin Ruri lowered her head, avoiding Ru Lanyu’s eyes.

Xiao Muen felt the fear in Lin Ruri’s eyes and said, "Xiao Lan, you’re scaring her. Let Xiao Ru calm down first." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Sigh~

"Okay ba~," said Ru Lanyu as she no longer forced Lin Ruri to look at her.

Yue Xuexia’s voice echoes in the room, yet what she said is not gentle at all but scary for those who knew her too well. "Xiao Ru, if you don’t speak, we won’t understand what is wrong with you. If you don’t tell me, I can only make the Han Family pay. I know they are the reason why your state is currently low. Since they are at fault and you are not telling me anything, then the Han Family can only bear all the consequences."

"W-What do you mean, Xuexue?" asked Lin Ruri in bewilderment.

Yue Xuexia responded, "Make the Han Finance Corporation bankrupt. I bought their company shares yesterday after you cut your call with me."

There is a soft sound of something bumping at the house entrance as soon as Yue Xuexia finishes her words. It was not that loud, so except for cultivators like Yue Xuexia, the others didn’t hear it. She also chooses to ignore it as well.

"What!?" exclaimed Lin Ruri. "Impossible! The Han Finance Corporation is a big company."

Yue Xuexia said, "So, what? Since company shares can be bought with money, why can’t I buy them? Since they offend you and my future niece or nephew, then they can only pay for what they did. Though I don’t know what they did to you, they still must pay for it."

"Did you really buy their company shares, Xuexue?" asked Lin Ruri.

Yue Xuexia said, "I did. I have 55% in my possession and I will give you 10% of the shares. This will allow you to stand firm even if you enter the Han Finance Corporation in the future. But these might not be useful anymore as I plan to destroy them. Since you are not telling us your situation, they can only bear the consequences of their actions."

"N-No, please, Xuexue. Don’t destroy their company. That’s their foundation," said Lin Ruri as she finally gave up and told her friends what happened yesterday morning. "I will tell you everything. The Han Finance Corporation is my husband’s clan’s business. I will become a sinner if it is destroyed because of me."

"Nonsense! How can you be a sinner?! That family was at fault!" Yue Xuexia exclaimed.

Ru Lanyu said, "Xuexue, don’t shout at her. She is pregnant!"

"Calm down. Take a deep breath, Xiao Xue. Control your anger. It’s not worth it to get angry at them," Xiao Muen said.

Lin Ruri peeks at Yue Xuexia, who can hardly control her anger. Knowing that her friend is angry for her sake and that she is willing to go against the Han family, all her grievances since yesterday have made her burst into tears. She covered her face as he whimpered. Ru Lanyu pats Lin Ruri’s back to help her calm down.

"My future parents-in-law say that I am not worthy of Yoonjun, that I came from a poor background, and that they will never accept me in the family. They also said that after I give birth, they will take away my child and Yoonjun for me, telling me they will compensate me with money and ask me to leave. But for me, money isn’t that important. I only wanted to live with Yoonjun and our child. How come I can’t even have my own family just because my background is poor?" Lin Ruri was stoked as she cried.

Han Yoonjun and his younger brother Han Yeonjun appeared at the door at that exact moment. The latter had a helpless expression on his face, while the former appeared furious. The unexpected entrance of these two individuals did not startle Yue Xuexia. Just now, she heard their footsteps at the entryway. Though Xiao Muen and Ru Lanyu were a little taken aback, they knew right once that this man was Han Yoonjun.

Han Yoonjun didn’t approach his crying wife, but his anger is completely imprinted on his face. "They... my parents really said that!?" He spoke in English as he wanted his fiancé to immediately understand his words.

Lin Ruri, who didn’t expect her fiancé to be home at this moment, looked at Han Yoonjun in surprise.

She asked, "Jagiya, Eonjebuteo yeogi iss-eoss-eo?"

Translation: [Darling, since when are you here?]

Two more people arrived and joined the gathering. Lin Ruri was soothed by Han Yoonjun as he approached her. The only thing the other people can do is watch this couple’s touching moment. Conversely, Yue Xuexia cast a chilly stare toward Han Yoonjun. All his prior positive impressions are now gone in her eyes, having failed to protect Lin Ruri from his own parents.
