Chapter 13: 013: Moonlight Lake Mansion At the Yue family's new house, Moonlight Lake Mansion. The three sisters were still asleep when the temporary morning housekeeping staff showed up at 6:00 am. The elderly couple, who was not used to getting up early in the morning, was taken aback by the abrupt arrival of this housekeeping team. Papa Yue and Mama Yue had no idea what to do with them and had to drag Yue Xuexia off her bed and wake her up on time. She was wearing a white rabbit onesie, hugging a pillow in her arms while rubbing her eyes with the other. Mama Yue scolded her, "Don't rub your eyes!" "En~ why did you wake me up, Ma?" asked Yue Xuexia. Her family was immune to her beauty because they are related by blood, but the housekeeping staff was transfixed as soon as they saw Yue Xuexia come down the stairs. She appeared to be surrounded by a sacred halo and had heavenly beauty, much like a goddess coming down to earth. Papa Yue said, "They said they are the housekeeping team you've hired in the morning. Is this true?" "En! We still haven't completely cleaned up the house and checked if there is a need for repairs. They will help us. You can order them to help you with everything in the house. They would be leaving at 2 pm though. Yawns~" explained Yue Xuexia. "Can I go back to sleep now?" "Go! It looks like you won't be having breakfast today again," said Mama Yue. Yue Xuexia said, "Pa, Ma, the cars would be delivered today too. Please accept them. Also if the driving instructors for Xiao Ji and Ruru arrived, wake them up. Yawns~ I'm going back to sleep. Please do your work well." She said to the housekeeping team with a smile. As if she was their idol, they collectively saluted Yue Xuexia. "Please leave it to us, My Lady!" "En~," said Yue Xuexia as she staggered up the stairs and headed to her room half asleep. Mama Yue led the maids in sweeping the floor and wiping the windows, while Papa Yue assigned the men to open boxes and assist with other furniture and objects around the house. This was done because their eldest daughter had stated that they were here to help clean the house. All of them worked nonstop this morning, finishing their work before noon. After finishing their shifts, Mama and Papa Yue sent the housekeeping staff on their way, and they were also told that their team would assist with the upkeep of the entire mansion, including the front and backyard. The elderly couple had just finished tidying and arranging their home when they stayed in the living room, where a wall television that took up at least a quarter of the wall was mounted. It was like being in their own little movie theater.@@@@ At 1 in the afternoon, the Yue Mansion received a call from the gate guards. Ring. Ring. Ring. Patting her husband's arm, unable to take her eyes off the TV, Mama Yue places a cooked popcorn on her lap that she discovered in the kitchen. The pair watched a horror movie together, one of Mama Yue's favorite genres of films, as they waited for their daughter to wake up. "Papa, the telephone is ringing. Go answer it," said Mama Yue. "We have a telephone? Where is it located?" asked Papa Yue. Mama Yue answered, "I don't know. Look for it ba~" She was busy watching the horror movie on the large screen in front of them. After a time, Papa Yue realized that their living room had never had a phone in their previous home—rather, it had been transformed into their daughters' bedroom. Ring. Ring. He looked for the source of the ringing sound and saw a telephone at the same side table beside the couch. It was a wireless telephone. Clank! Papa Yue answered, "Hello? Who is it?" [Is this Sir Yue Xuya from the Moonlight Lake Mansion?] "Yes, currently speaking? What do you need?" responded Papa Yue. "I see. Driving instructors. That's good. Follow me inside. Your students are still asleep. I will go wake them up. Please wait in the living room for a bit," said Mama Yue to the guests and shouted at her husband, "Papa, I will leave (Old) Lao Yun to you. I need to wake up the second and youngest. They didn't tell me they had driving lessons for today." "Sure. Then I will leave the cars of Xiao Ji and Ruru out. I will test drive ours instead," said Papa Yue. Mama Yue replied, "Okay~" --- In the living room... After showing the visitors from The Speed Learning Institute where to go and seating them on the couch, Mama Yue became a little bashful when one of the guests noticed his bowl of popcorn and the horror film playing on the wall-mounted widescreen. "Oh my~ sorry, my husband and I were watching a movie before you guys arrived. Let me clean up for a bit," said Mama Yue, who turned off the television and ran off to the kitchen. Mama Yue did not know much about brands in the food and just served what was in the fridge, but she did know about cookies and a small stair tray of pastries the Crowned Regent had given them the night before they left, so she brought back a pushing tray with some ice buckets and four branded juice jars with natural squeezed juice, mango, apple, orange, and grapes. Mama Yue said, "Here. Have some snacks before you work. Serve yourself. I still have to wake up my daughters. Please wait here." before going up the stairs. Those who were left behind in the living room looked around and were overwhelmed by the sight, "Brother Ji, can that still be called television? It already looked like a mini theater to me." "God! These juices are all internal brands and cause at least 2000 rmb a jar." "I-I've seen these small cakes before. I think these are special cakes served at the Crowned Regent Hotel. Each piece cost 5000 rmb!?" "C-Can we really eat it?" "I don't know." "But if we don't eat it, what if they bring out something more expensive?" "..." "..." "..." "Let's eat a bit." Trembling, the two ladies grabbed for a slice of cake each, while the lone guy offered themselves some glasses of juice, opening only the container of mango juice next to them. But the moment they took a bite, the taste vanished, overpowering their tongues as well. --- Meanwhile, at Yue Xuexia's room... Her phone kept vibrating next to her pillow, so she quickly woke up and grabbed it. When she answered, she saw that an unknown number was ringing, and a Japanese person was speaking to her on the other end of the call in broken English, which Yue Xuexia was barely able to understand. {Hello! This is Miss Yue-san. Correct? I, Yamato Nagisa, an AI Programming eh... Someone eh... good at programming. Yes...} Hearing this broken English made Yue Xuexia hurt. Since she was awakened twice today, she no longer had the mood to continue sleeping. "Yamato-san, kon'nichiwa. Watashi wa nihongo ga hanaserunode, nihongo de jiyū ni hanasemasu," said Yue Xuexia. Translation: [Greetings, Mr. Yamato. You can freely speak in Japanese, as I can speak the language.] {Hontōni? Sore wa subarashī kotodesu! Chanto jiko shōkai sa sete kudasai. Watashinonamaeha Yamato nagisadesu. Watashi wa saibōgu senryaku kenkyūjo no shusshindesu.} Translation: [Really? That's great! Please let me introduce myself properly. My name is Yamato Nagisa. I am from Cyborg Strategy Institute.]
