Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess

Chapter 39: 039: Grandma Hialun's 83rd Birthday (5)



When Mama Yue arrived at her elder sister's house to hunt for her mother, she eventually located the room where her mother stayed. When she initially knocked on the door, she heard an elderly woman's voice.

Mama Yue's heart was filled with relief and happiness when she heard her mother's voice, which was hoarse but still gentle due to age. When she opened the door to the room, she saw her mother leaning on the bed's header with a few pillows on her back, and a television that was mounted on the wall across from the bed was playing the news.

Grandma Hialun was watching without any expression on her face, as she was in a daze.

Yue Suli smiled as she approached her mother and said, "Mom, it's Suli. My family and I came to visit you. How are you feeling?"

"Lili...? I see. Are my granddaughters with you this time?" asked Grandma Hialun.

Before, Mama Yue would only bring her husband along when she went to see Grandma Hialun. Her three daughters were too aloof from society and did not enjoy going to events involving her maternal clan. As they became impoverished, other relatives would give them unwavering support, just like the Xing Family, while some, like the Qu Family, would slyly observe how they ended up that way.

The Yue sisters disliked how they treated them as though they deserved it even though they had not done anything wrong, and as a result, they avoided seeing their grandma. This was because people want to avoid seeing people from another family, even if they are related.

In their hearts, no one is important enough to be able to move their family. With Yue Xuexia on their side, no matter who it was, they would be face-slapped. Their eldest sister is a billionaire, and she never hides her money from the family. With the cards she had given each of them, they were able to get as much money as they needed or wanted. After Yue Xuexia collected enough money for the whole Yue family to spend for years, the sisters' confidence was restored.

Though Yue Ruxia and Jixia's cards had limits of a few million withdrawals, they could buy anything with them. Only Mama Yue and Papa Yue had no restrictions on their cards. If they wish to, they can withdraw a whole billion as long as the bank has enough paper money.

Mama Yue sat beside her mother and held her wrinkled hands.

"Yes, Ruru and Xiao Ji are already here. They are just outside. As for Xue'er, she is already on her way here to give you your gifts. She also made your favorite carrot cake. It is as sweet as you like it to be."

Grandma Hialun said, "Haha~ Xue'er is like me. She loves eating sweet things and would always share her hidden snacks in the past. She had always been the kind of person who loved sharing food with others. That makes her even happier, to have someone to eat with her."

"That yatou (little girl) had always been a bit pitiful. She is still young but her body is already too weak. The most she has done in her life is to stay at home. It is because she was born with murmurs in her heart. Though that thing had been closed up as she grew older, it cannot be denied that her body was born weak. She didn't even experience the life of playing outside as a child and playing sports as a young adult. Even her love life is restricted by you... Sigh~ now your daughters are too afraid to find a person to love. Because you had restricted them too much when they were young."

"Mom, I've changed. I no longer get involved with my daughter's life. They are now free to do whatever they want. We also have money right now. It was enough for us to spend for a very long time," said Yue Suli.

Grandma Hialun said, "But even then, they rarely leave the house, right?"

"This..."

When Mama Yue thinks about it, she remembers that Yue Ruxia and Yue Jixia only left the house for school or when their friends invited them out. Yue Xuexia, on the other hand, only left the house for meetings that could not be resolved online and completed the majority of her work at home. If this keeps up, her two daughters will undoubtedly wind up as NEETs, especially now that the oldest has enough money to spend for almost an eternity.

A bit frightened by this fact, Mama Yue asked her mother for advice.

"Mom, what should I do? What you have said is indeed what is happening right now."

"Since you no longer lack money, try to get out as a family more often. As long as they get used to going out of the house, everything should return to normal. Don't forget to visit this old woman at least on a monthly basis," said Grandma Hialun as she laughed happily.

Mama Yue replies, "Of course, Mom! Wait for Xue'er to come. I heard she is preparing your gifts for your birthday today!"

"I should wait for it. Xue'er has always gifted me things I love the most!" said Grandma Hialun.

Before the party began, Qu Yurei told her elder sister about what had happened in the garden and asked her to confirm whether the clothes the Yue family was wearing were indeed from the Paris Fashion collection for the winter season. The mother and daughter spoke to each other for hours before the party started.

Xing Roulan is Qu Yuru's only relative that she likes, and Xing Roulan also seems to like this cousin of hers, who seems to have changed quite a bit after marrying a foreigner. Surprisingly, Qu Yuru had heard about the changes in the Yue family from Xing Roulan already, given their positive relationship as cousins and their similar ages.

So when Qu Yuru asked Xing Roulan about the Yue family, she did not hold back and told her straight out that Yue Xuexia, the family's eldest daughter, was the reason the Yue family became billionaires. Xing Rouyi, who happened to be passing by, overheard their conversation and informed Qu Yuru about the five-star hotel that Yue Xuexia owned and that he was given a nice job there.

In addition to the modest mansion and car that each member of the Xing family received, Xing Rouyi received a monthly salary of at least 100,000 rmb and benefits that exceeded the amount he earned. Xing Roulan told them with pride that their older brother, Xing Rouxi, was not present because he could not leave his job easily.

It just so happens that the Garden Sanctuary was too busy this month, and he was unable to leave. He works at a private island hospital and has to schedule his vacation well in advance if he needs to return to the mainland.

Qu Yuru was left speechless by the five-star hotel 'Crowned Regent' and the world-class private hospital 'The Island Hospital: Garden Sanctuary.' Therefore, she was not surprised when her second sister told her that Yue Ruxia and Yue Jixia were playing with the newest Apple brand gadgets, especially when they saw that Xing An was carrying the same unit as he hurried out to find the Yue Sisters to play games with.

Xing Roulan said, "Ah! That phone? Xue'er gave it to Xiao An as his birthday gift. Ever since then, that boy has hardly let it go even at home."

It took Mr. Qu a while to find parking, and when he did, she could not find his wife and was informed that she was assisting in the kitchen. His brothers-in-law and other in-laws pulled him over to their table, where they were now providing wine for him to enjoy.

"Come. Join us. Brother Qu. Taste the wine Brother Yue had brought for us!"

"Drink. Drink. Brother Yue brought different kinds of wine. We have all afternoon to enjoy drinking."

Mr. Qu watched in shock as he saw the wine label his brother-in-law was serving him.

He exclaimed, "Château Lafite 1787!"

"Oh, ~ is that what this wine is? It's nice that you can recognize it. We only drink it because Brother Yue serves it for us to drink. Hehehe~"

Mr. Qu asked with urgency, "Brother Kiji, are you serious? That's 1.1 million rmb wine in your hands!"

Confused, everyone turned to stare at Mr. Qu Yuren in shock, and when they saw him nod, they turned to look at Yue Yuya, who continued to smile amiably.

"What's wrong? Don't you like that one? Let's open this other bottle then!" said Yue Yuya as he pulled another wine bottle that looked different from the one in Xia Kiji's hand.

The bottle in Yue Yuya's possession is larger and resembles a regular red wine bottle, save for the fact that the name label on it nearly gave Qu Yuren a heart attack. This contrasts with the dark green glass wine bottle of Chateau Lafite in Xia Kiji's hand, which is sealed with thick black wax.

Qu Yuren mumbled, "Chateau Margaux 1787. 1.6 million rmb per bottle and even rarer than Chateau Lafite 1787. Brother Yue, is it okay to bring those kinds of wines out of your house? I mean, where do you get those? Those wines cannot be bought with money alone!"

"Eh? Really? I just took a few from the bar at home. There's too much of it and even my eldest daughter says I can bring some if I wanted. Hehe~ it was replaced with a new one every time Little Taiyang visited at home anyway~. He said it was a gift for me from my eldest daughter's subordinates."

"Ah~ Little Taiyang is my eldest daughter's assistant. A nice boy that helps us look after my Xue'er... There is a lot of that at home. Hic! Don't worry and just drink it without a problem!" said Yue Yuya.

To inform them of what their older sister had stated during the video conversation, Yue Jixia and Yue Ruxia looked for Papa and Mama Yue at this very moment.

Yue Jixia spoke, "Pa, where is Ma? Jie called just now and said she is on her way here."

"Ugh! You're drinking without eating again! If you get a stomach ache, Ma will get angry again! "

Papa Yue said, "It's okay. Just a few bottles."

"Erjie, Ma seems to be with grandma. Should we go inside? Pa, don't drink too much without eating. Ma would lock the wine cellar again!" said Yue Ruxia.

Yue Yuya laughed and said to his daughter, "Okay. This is the last bottle. I promise I'll eat after this one. Hahaha~"

"Okay, enjoy then! Then we'll go look for Ma," said Yue Jixia.

Yue Ruxia and Yue Jixia left after greeting their uncles at the table. Su Rukia followed after the two like a small tail.

Yue Yuya raised the opened bottle of Chateau Margaux 1787 and asked,

"Want a glass?"

"Drink!!!"

The other men accepted a glass of such an expensive wine, knowing that they had a wine cellar at home and that he was not taking it without his wife's consent; since it was freely offered, they would sip it guilt-free.
