Young Miss Please Don’t Run - Chapter 31 Chapter 031

After breakfast, Mak Lok Son didn’t leave. He sticks to Ba Yue like glue and goes wherever she goes. It starts to annoy Ba Yue a bit. She has lots of things to do and this Lok Son just won’t leave her alone!

“Lok Son, I have lots of things to do today. Can you please return to the palace for today?” She said it in a calm voice, even though she wants to kick him out already. She’s starting to lose patience since she already used up so much patience this morning dealing with that shameless Li Dong Man.

“Little Yue, I can stay with you like this? I’m worried that big brother from this morning will come back and bother you again.” He said it in a concerned tone with worries in his eyes. He looked like he was really worried that Ba Yue will be taken away by Li Dong Man.

“There’s nothing to worry about. And you don’t have to call him big brother, just call him the shameless man is good enough for him. He won’t be back because he won’t be able to do what I have asked of him.” Said Ba Yue, as she tries to comfort him.

“What is shameless? Why is he a shameless man? Asked Mak Lok Son. Of course, he knows why Li Dong Man is shameless, but he wants to see if Ba Yue will tell him anything about Li Dong Man.

“Umm…..how should I explain it to you? I guess you can say that he has no sense of shame and didn’t have any decency or modesty.” She tried to explain it to him but is having a little trouble. She didn’t really want to go into details.

“Umm….I don’t really understand. So, it basically means that he is a bad guy, right? But why is he here then? He said you two were good friends. Little Yue, if he is a bad guy, then don’t be his friend anymore, okay?” He said it in a very innocent way. What he wanted was her to promise not to get close to Li Dong Man again.

“I’m not his friend! That’s why I said he’s shameless because I’ve already told him last time that he was here to not come back again, but he still shows up. You don’t have to worry about me becoming his friend or getting close to him because it will never happen!”

“You promise? You can’t be his friend and you have to stay away from him, okay?”

“I promised! So can you please go back home? I have lots of things to do today, but you can come back tomorrow to make me breakfast. After breakfast, I’ll take you out for a walk around town, okay.” Said Ba Yue in a persuasion tone.

“Okay, I’ll go back for today. I’ll come back tomorrow morning and make you tons of yummy food.” Mak Lok Son happily leaves the Ba residence with skippy feet after he replies Ba Yue.

Even when she was Li Hei Yi, she didn’t feel so much love from her family. Her grandfather treated her well because of her talent. Father does love her, but he loves her mother even more. And her mother treated her very well, but she has always felt a distance with her mother, there’s really not much of motherly love from her. And of course, she finally knows why now.

As for Mu Huang, he did indeed treat her very well in the beginning when he was pursuing her for marriage. He made her feel special and needed, something that she didn’t really get from her parents. Of course, she now knows that it’s all fake and pretend. Everything with Mu Huang is fake from the very beginning.

Sometimes she gets the feeling that it’s actually not too bad to live with Lok Son since he’s so innocent and also nice to her. She doesn’t have to worry about the same thing happening to her again as it did to Li Hei Yi. But that thinking quickly disappears from her mind, because she knows she might one day leave here. She didn’t want to hurt Lok Son and wants him to find someone that he loves and can take care of him. If she never knew about her true identity or met Little Red, she might stay with Lok Son. But she doesn’t think it’s possible anymore.

After getting Lok Son to go back home, Ba Yue went back to her room. She called for the Han sisters to come over and start giving them instruction on what to do next.

“Han Yan, you go to the town and see if you can buy a building for me. It has to be a big building with at least 3 floors.” Said Ba Yue, as she takes out the green bank card that she has previously received from the herbal store when she was selling her pills. The green card can store up to 100k of gold coins, which Ba Yue has already filled it up to the max. She’s very happy that she got the card from the herbal store since it comes in handy right now.

“Young Miss, is there anything I have to look out for when buying the building?” Asked Han Yan as she received the card from Ba Yue and puts it in her pocket.

“I’m going to use the building to open a store that sells many different things. I might also use one of the floors to make it into a teahouse. It is going to be something different than the other stores, it will be considered as our White Moon’s headquarter. So I want the location to be in the busiest part of the town, money is not a problem There’s 100k of white gold in this card, so if it is not enough, just let me know.”

“I understand, young miss. I will immediately go and get it done for you.” Han Yan left after receiving the instructions and the green card from Ba Yue. She didn’t show any nervousness or greed when she heard there are 100k of gold coins in green card. It’s like that amount of money is nothing to her. She must have comes from an influential family in a big country thought Ba Yue.

“Han Chu, go to the White Moon and let Ho Wai knows that we will be opening up to do business very soon. Tell him to pick out a few people from the first department that had experience in managing a business and is intelligent, they will be the new leaders of our store. When you come back later, bring Ho Keo back with you, she’s Ho Wei’s younger sister.”

“I understand, Young Miss. I will go now.” Han Chu answered respectfully to Ba Yue, then she turned to the door and walked out to go to the White Moon residence.

After both of the Han sisters left, Little Red came out of his basket or aka his “temporary bed”. He walked up to Ba Yue and jump onto her lap and makes himself comfortable.

“Where did you find these two girls?” Asked Little Red in a lazy tone as he getting comfortable on Ba Yue’s lap.

“They are the ones Ho Wai helped me recruited. They were the only girls there so I brought them back here. I can feel that these two Han sisters must have some secret because they don’t seem like normal citizens.” Said Ba Yue, as she uses her hand to pat Little Red.

“Umm……you are right, they aren’t normal citizens. Well, at least not in this world.”

“What do you mean? Don’t tell me they’re from other worlds too.” Ba Yue hopelessly shakes her, she can’t believe those girls are from another world. She just wanted to recruit some people, but somehow all these weird people keep coming to her. Not just people, but beast too! Of course, she’s talking about Little Red.

“I’m not sure where they are from. It seems like their energy and power has been sealed off a lot so I wasn’t able to tell at first. But the seal is not a complete seal so a little of their energy still leaks out so that’s how I noticed. If their seal is undone, those two can be quite strong, you should be happy that they are working for you.”

“As you said, they are strong if the seal is undone. Which means, there’s no way that they are normal people. And no way that they are here in this low plane world and especially in this small country out of their own will. I just hope nothing bad is going to happen, I have enough on my plate as it is.” Said Ba Yue in a worrying kind of tone.

“You can just send them away if you are worried.”

“I cannot and will not do that! They have pledged their loyalties to me already so I can’t abandon them. I have told them before that I don’t care who they are or what their background is. As long as they are loyal to me then they are my people. And I will always protect my people no matter what, I will always keep my word!” Ba Yue said it in a firm tone, she is a very stubborn person. Once she has decided on something, nothing can change her mind.

Little Red didn’t say any more, he knows she’s stubborn. And isn’t Mak Lok Son here this morning? He should be able to tell these to two Han sisters are different than others if he sees them. He probably missed them this morning when these two girls came in, though Little Red.

For the rest of the day, Ba Yue continues to think about what stores she should open. She’s not going to sell refined pills since she’s already selling it to the other herb store. After thinking long and hard, she has made a list of things to do.

It was late afternoon when Han Chu came back, she also brought back Ho Kei.

“Young Miss, it’s been a while,” said Ho Kei.

“Sister Kei, you look well.” Said Ba Yue, as she waves for Ho Kei to come over to her side.

“It’s all thanks to the Young Miss’s pills, I’ll all better now. Other than that I’m still too weak to train, I’m no different than anyone else.”

Ho Kei’s very grateful to Ba Yue for curing her, she never thought she can get better. Even if she cannot train in a martial art or cultivate, she felt that her life is good the way it is already.

“Don’t worry, sister Kei. That’s why I told Han Chu to bring you over today. Your body is all better but is still weak. I will perform acupuncture on you for 3 days, it will change your body. After the course of treatments is done, your body should be all better and strong. You will have no problem training martial arts, but as for cultivating, that will depend on your talent.”

With tears in her eyes, Ho Kei immediately knees down and give Ba Yue a big bow.

“Young Miss, Thank You! Thank you so much for curing me, thank you so much for giving me a new life! I will forever be indebted to you. I will use the rest of my life to serve you.”

“Sister Kei, you are too kind. Your brother Ho Wai is working for me so he’s my people. I will always take care of my people. I don’t need you to use the rest of your life to serve me, but can work for me just like your brother.”

“I understand, Young Miss!”

“Han Chu, I need to perform acupuncture on sister Kei, can you wait outside and watch the door for me. Don’t let anyone come in to disturb me while I’m working. If Han Yan comes back, tell her to wait until I’m gone.”

“Yes, Young Miss.” Han Chu left the room and stood outside to guard the room.

After 2 hours have passed and the door finally opens. Ba Yue came out with Ho Kei, she sees Han Yan standing next to Han Chu outside.

“Han Yan, you are back. How did everything go? Asked Ba Yue, she’s currently looking very tired.

“I have found 2 place that fits the description of want you wanted. Both of the places were on the main street, but one of the places is a lot cheaper than the other. I don’t know which one to choose, so I came back to ask you, Young Miss”

“Oh, why is it one place cheaper than the other if they were both on the main street?”

“The more expensive one is a restaurant and a hotel combined. It has 3 floors and the place has been around for a very long time. The owner wants to retire but he has no son, only a daughter that was married to a far away country. He wants to sell the business and move closer to his daughter. The condition of the place is very good, he is asking for 70k gold coins.

On the other hand, the cheaper place is actually a run down old brothel. It is at the end of the main street so it’s less busy over there. And since it’s not on the red district (a place where most brothel locates), the place is not busy and the owner is losing money every month. Not much people want to buy that place since it has been a brothel. This place is actually bigger than the other place, it has 4 floors and the owner is asking for 60k gold coins.”

After thinking for a few minutes, Ba Yue have made up her mind which one she’ll buy.

“Buy the cheaper one, since it’s better to have a bigger place. I’ll use the extra money I saved from the purchase to hire people to renovate the whole place to the way I wanted it. After renovation, we’ll run some advertisement, no one will remember that place was ever a brothel by that time.”

“I understand, I will go and make an offer now to the owner.” Han Yan was about to turn around to leave but was stopped by Ba Yue.

“Wait, Ah Yan. Bring Ho Kei back to the White Moon residence and ask Ho Wai to go with you. Actually, have Ho Wai bring a few more men to go with you. That place is a brothel, they do shady business there. I don’t want them to play any tricks on you, especially since you are a girl going to those places. Tell them they have to move out and clean up the place within 3 days after receiving the money.”

“I understand, Young Miss. I will do as you said.” Han Yan’s actually a little happy on the inside of her right now. She was worried that she and her sister have followed the wrong person. But it seems like this Young Miss is very nice. Not only is she easy to get along with but she actually cares about her others. She’s glad she didn’t make the wrong decision to pledged her loyalty to her.

“Sister Kei, go back with Han Yan. Make sure you come back around the same time for the next two days. Today is the first treatment, by the third day, the treatment will be completed.”

“Thank You, Young Miss. I will remember to come back tomorrow. I will take my leave now.” She did a slight bow toward Ba Yue and then follows Han Yan to leave.

“Ah Chu, you can also go back to your room for now. I need to rest a little, the acupuncture uses tons of concentration and I’m very tired right now. Come wake me up later when Ah Yan comes back, okay.”

“I will, Young Miss. Please go in to rest now, I’ll come back later when my sister is back.”
