Lisa was sitting beside her grandfather, talking about the herbs. Grandpa Tang still gave her lectures about the herbs to Lisa even though Lisa was already a university student.

“So, do you understand the benefit of this herb?” Grandpa Tang asked Lisa.

Lisa was currently writing down what Grandpa Tang had just said when she heard Grandpa Tang’s question. Looking up at him, she answered. “Yeah. I understand.”

“Good.” Grandpa Tang nodded.

Even though she had already learned about it in her space, but her grandfather’s lecture was still the best.

“What about your studies? How are they going?” Grandpa Tang inquired about Lisa’s studies.

“It’s okay. I’m going to enter the third year.” Lisa informed Grandpa Tang.

“Third year? So, have you already chosen your major?” Grandpa Tang asked.

“Surgery.” Lisa smiled. She was interested in surgery.

“Oh, that is tough. There is a lot to cover.” Grandpa Tang was impressed with Lisa’s choice.

“I know but still, it is my choice.”

“Well, I will not interfere with your choices.” Grandpa Tang already knew Lisa’s character. She would not choose surgery if she did not feel confident that she could conquer it.

“Lisa! Lisa! Lisa!”

A scream that was calling Lisa’s name over and over again could be heard from outside the house. Grandpa Tang frowned. Who was this person? Shouting in front of other peoples’ houses. No manners! Grandpa Tang gave a questionable look to Lisa. Lisa made a gesture that she also did not know about this.

Lisa did not have any friends here except for Rosé and Rosé would not be shouting her name like that person outside there.

“Lisa. Come out.” The person keeps shouting Lisa’s name.

“Let’s go and take a look.” Grandpa Tang stood up followed by Lisa.

When Grandpa Tang and Lisa arrived at the front door, they could see the three women of the Wang Family. Madam Wang was currently crying while her two daughters had a bad look on their face. Maybe something bad just happened in their Wang family. Even so, why did they come here and shouted her name?

Grandpa Tang and Lisa approached them. When Madam Wang saw Lisa lift up her eyes in surprise, she ran and kneeled down in front of Lisa. Lisa frowned, ‘What the heck is this old woman trying to do?’ Lisa was waiting to see what Madam Wang was going to do right now.

“Lisa, Lisa, please help me. Please.” Madam Wang suddenly begged Lisa.

Lisa did not respond and just silently watched the show. She still could not process what was happening here.

“Please.” Madam Wang did not try to explain. She just begged and cried.

“What are you doing?” Grandpa Tang asked. He did not ask Madam Wang but her two daughters.

“Erk... Actually, our younger brother is in debt. We came... here to borrow... some money.” Wendy awkwardly explained to Grandpa Tang and Lisa. They had to thicken their skin to come here and borrow the money from Lisa.

Lisa sneered. “Why should I help you?” Lisa did not want to help Wang Family.

“Please. I’m begging you.” Madam Wang did not have any pride anymore. For the sake of her son, she would do anything, even beg the bitch.

“Why did your brother end up in debt?” Lisa asked, wanting to know what had happened.

“My brother was gambling and he was caught cheating. The men have asked for 10 million dollars within two days.” Wendy did not look at Lisa’s face when she was answering Lisa.

“What? Gambling? Humph. Serves himself right. Go home. We do not have that amount of money for people like you.” Grandpa Tang said, indicating for the Wang Family to go home.

One of the things that Grandpa Tang really hated was gambling. At one point, gambling could make people rich but at the same time, it made people addicted to betting their money.

“Please, help me.” Madam Wang begged, still crying.

“We do not have that type of money. Even if we had it, why should we give it to you?” Lisa smirked.

Wendy and Yeri also kneeled down beside their mother.

“Please, Lisa. Can you help us?” Wendy begged Lisa. She really did not want to beg this bitch, but she did not have much choice.

“Lisa, Yu Jin is just a young boy.” Yeri added.

“Yeah, he is a young boy but he already knows how to gamble.” Lisa said, her expression showing how ridiculous the whole situation was.

The Wang Family could not say anything to refute her statement because it was true.

“Go home.” Grandpa Tang said again.

“No, we will not leave until you say yes.” Madam Wang threatening.

“Owh...” Lisa smiled. Then she called Sister Chu Xiao.

“Yes, Young Miss.” Sister Chu Xiao approached Lisa.

Lisa whispered to Sister Chu Xiao asking her to do something. Madam Wang thought that Lisa was finally going to give in and wanted to help them. She also thought that Lisa was asking the maid to take the money out to give to them. She was smiling. Threatening them really was the best idea.

“Grandfather, you can go in first. I will handle this.” Lisa asked Grandpa Tang to go in first. She did not want her grandfather to become sick because of these people.

“Really?” Grandpa Tang asked.

“Yeah, don’t worry.” Lisa smiled.

Grandpa Tang did not go in, instead, he went to the nearby chair to enjoy the situation. He also wanted to see how his granddaughter would handle these shameless people. Lisa sighed when she saw her grandfather sit in the chair to enjoy the show.

“Lisa, where is the money?” Madam Wang asked.

Lisa did not answer. She watched Madam Wang like an idiot. ‘This old woman thinks I will lend her the money. When did I say that?’ Lisa thought something was wrong with Madam Wang head.

Then the police siren could be heard. The police car stopped in front of Lisa’s house. Lisa was smiling when she saw that help was coming.

“Is this the Tang House?” One of the police officers asked while gave a weird look to these people who were kneeling down.

“Yes.” Lisa nodded.

“We received a phone call reporting that some people were disturbing the residents and making troubles in front of your house.” The police officer said.

“Yeah. These are people making trouble.” Lisa pointed to the three women.

“No... No... No... We are not making trouble.” Madam Wang said, scared that the police would arrest them.

“They came here to borrow 10 million dollars. We do not have that amount of money. When we said so, they threaten us by saying that they would not leave until we gave them the money.” Lisa explained in a short way.

The three women of Wang Family made a shooked face. They did not expect that Lisa would call the police and tell them everything.

“Is she telling the truth?” The police officer turned to the three women and asked them.

“No... No... No...” Wendy denied it.

“Then, please leave. If not, we will arrest you.” The police officer said.

The three women of Wang Family quickly stood up and ran away.

Seeing the three women ran away like someone was chasing them, Lisa took a breath of relief. She then turned to the police officers.

“Thank you for your help, Sirs. If you didn’t come, I am sure that they will not leave this house.” Lisa bowed a little and said thanks to the police officers that came to help her.

“No worries. We are just performing our duty.” The police officers knew Lisa and her situation. They also knew the Wang Family.

“Then we will be leaving.” The police officers said as they turned to leave.

“My granddaughter is smart to call the police.” Grandpa Tang praised Lisa.

“These people are afraid of the police. It is a good plan to call the police to deal with them instead of dealing with them by ourselves.” Lisa smiled wickedly.

“Wendy, what should we do now? Your brother... Your brother.” Madam Wang cried along the way to their house repeating the same words.

Wendy felt distressed about this. 10 million... Where could they find that amount of money? She did regret that she did not request some money from the old man. They arrived at their house. The three women sat in the living room thinking about the possible solutions to get Wang Yu Jin out safe and sound.

“Wendy, do you have any friends that we can borrow from them?” Madam Wang asked in hope.

“Mum, I don’t have any rich friend.” Wendy sighed. Most of her friends right now were the same as her. Working as a woman that accompanied the men.

They once again fell in silence. Wang Yu Jin would die within two days if they did not collect 10 million to pay the debt.

“Wendy, Yeri, let’s go to Lisa again tomorrow. Maybe she will lend us the money tomorrow.” Madam Wang still did not give up the idea of borrowing money from Lisa.

“Yeah. But I will go to another place to ask them whether they could lend us some money.” Wendy said.

“There is a new hotel in a remote place near the mountain. We should go and ask.” Yeri suggested.

“Really? Ask them if they can lend some money to ask in return that we will be working with them.” Madam Wang added.

“Working? Who is going to hire us to work?” Yeri asked.

“Two of you. You are still young and beautiful. They might like to hire a young and beautiful girl.” Madam Wang thought it was the best idea besides going to Lisa.

“What? I’m going to work. Mum, I’m still in school. I can’t quit.” Yeri did not want to quit school just because of Wang Yu Jin. Why she has to quit school just for the mistake that Wang Yu Jin did? It was not her fault. Not like she was the one who forced him to go gambling.

“Yeri, that is your younger brother.” Madam Wang said angrily to Yeri. Of course, she was angry. That was her son. The only son. Even though she loved her daughters but she valued her son the most.

“Humph, I will not sacrifice myself to him.” Yeri ran and entered her bedroom and closed her door with BANG.

Madam Wang sighed. Wendy did not say anything. Actually, she was thinking the same way as Yeri. She thought Yeri was right. Wang Yu Jin made his own way to gamble. So why should they sacrifice themselves to him? Just because he was a male? That was ridiculous. However, Wendy just keep that thought inside her mind only in order not to make her mother upset.

.....

“Miss Lalisa.” Sister Sooyoung greeted Lisa when she saw Lisa was standing in front of the door.

“My family was very happy when they stayed here. Keep it up.” Lisa said. Then she continued. “I came here because I want to see the things that I ask you to change. Is it already finished?”

Sister Sooyoung nodded. “Yes. It already finished yesterday.” Sister Sooyoung led the way.

They arrived in front of the door of onsen. Lisa looked at the door. She nodded satisfied with the result. She was actually looking at the sign that indicated the men and women’s area. The first design was originally from Japan. But after the incident that Jungkook mistakenly entered the women section, she changed the sign such that not anybody would be able to change the signs again. Preventing the same prank to happen again among her customers.

“Miss Lalisa, can I ask you something?” Sister Sooyoung asked in a low tone.

Lisa turned to Sister Sooyoung. “Yeah. Feel free to ask.”

“Who was the gentleman that walked together with Miss Lalisa in the garden another day?” Sister Sooyoung felt excited to hear Lisa’s answer.

Lisa smiled. Sister Sooyoung must be talking about Jungkook. “It is my boyfriend.”

“Really? He is so handsome.” Sister Sooyoung acted like a fangirl.

Lisa laughed. She always heard the praise toward Jungkook. Well, he was indeed a handsome man. No doubt about that.

“But don’t let love blind your eyes.” Sister Sooyoung added.

Lisa nodded. She knew Sister Sooyoung gave the advice out of concern due to Sister Sooyoung’s own experience.

“Don’t worry, Sister Sooyoung. I know what to do.” Lisa replied to Sister Sooyoung’s advice.

“Okami-san, Okami-san.” They heard a girl called Sister Sooyoung.

“Yeah. What is it?” Sister Sooyoung asked the girl.

“Someone come and want to talk to the person in charge.” The girl informed Sister Sooyoung.

“Do you have an appointment today?” Lisa asked.

“No.” Sister Sooyoung answered in one word.

“Well, you can go and meet the person.” Lisa said.

“Do you want to see too, Miss Lalisa?” Sister Sooyoung asked.

“No. I don’t want people to know I’m the owner. But I will be watching by the side.” Lisa did not want her identity exposed right now.

Sister Sooyoung went to the front door. There were two women. Lisa who saw them and smiled. ‘They actually come here.’

The two women were not unknown people but Wendy and Yeri. They tried to get some help from here. Madam Wendy ordered her daughters to come here. Yeri was actually forced by her mother to come here. Lisa did not say anything but let Sister Sooyoung handle this.

“Are you the one in charge in here?” Wendy asked.

“Yes.” Sister Sooyoung answered in standard Okami tone.

“Do you hire people?” Wendy asked again.

This time, Sister Sooyoung did not answer quickly.

Seeing the person in front of them did not answer her question, Wendy tried to appeal to Sister Sooyoung.

“We want to work. We can do anything” Wendy added more.

Sister Sooyoung did not have any chance of expression. Even though she was busy with her work, but she knew about the news in the town. She knew Wang Family was Miss Lalisa’s previous adopted family.

“I have to discuss it with my boss first.” Sister Sooyoung replied after a long silence.

“Then, can I speak to your boss?” Wendy said.

Wendy thought if she talked directly to the boss, the boss might have pitied her. It would be even better if she could seduce him in the first place. The owner of this place must have a lot of money to spend.

“Sorry, our boss did not like to show his face. So, you will not get the chance.” Sister Sooyoung destroyed Wendy’s hope.

“Please. Let me see him.” Wendy already convinced that the owner of this place was a man.

“Our boss is not here. About you want to work here, I will tell you after the discussion with our boss.” Sister Sooyoung said.

“Please... Please... Please hire us.” Wendy begged.

“Miss, in order to work here, other employees undergo some training. Some of them succeed, some do not. You are not undergoing any training, how can we just hire you?” Sister Sooyoung sneered.

It was indeed true. Namjoon did make some training to them. Then, he chose the people that he saw to have potential from the training.

“Just say you don’t want to hire us. Tell a lie to chase us out. Humph.” Yeri had already reached her patience limit and blurted out the thing in her mind.

“Then, young miss, you should find another job that suits you.” Sister Sooyoung did not get angry with Yeri.

Sister Sooyoung left after saying that sentence. Before she left, she whispered to the watchmen that guarded the door.

“Don’t let two of them enter our ryokan from now on.” Sister Sooyoung said.

“Don’t worry, Okami-san. We will do as you command.” The men nodded.

Wendy saw the woman was leaving, she wanted to grab her. But the men stopped her.

“Miss, please leave.” The man said.

“Let me enter. I want to talk with her.” Wendy said to the men angrily.

“Miss, don’t make a scene here. Please leave. If you don’t leave, we have to call the police.” The man said.

Wendy and Yeri made a terrible face. Last night, Lisa also threatened them by using the police. Now, this man also threatened them using the same method. Yeri pulled the sleeve of Wendy.

“Sister, let’s go. I don’t want to go to the police station.” Yeri told Wendy.

Yeri did not want to go to the police station again. The last time she went to the police station was when their neighbor reported against them for stealing. Because of that, she had been ridiculed by her friends. She did not want to experience the same thing again.

The two sisters left the place. Lisa just watched from the corner and smirked.

“Miss Lalisa, don’t worry. We would not be hiring them.” Sister Sooyoung said.

“I will leave the matter to you. I’m leaving.” Lisa nodded.

...

“How about the matter? Did you succeed?” Madam Wang asked when seeing her two daughters came back home.

Wendy and Yeri were in silence. Seeing her two daughters did not answer her questions meat they failed to get the money. Madam Wang’s face turned ugly. If this idea did not work, then her son... No, she could not let anything happen to her son.

“Wendy, Yeri, why do they not hire you two?” Madam Wang questioned her two daughters.

“Mum, they said they only hired skilled people.” Wendy explained.

“What?” Madam Wang shrieked.

Yeri closed her ears. Her mother really knew how to scream.

“So, then, what about your brother? Will you let your brother die just like that?” Madam Wang screamed again.

“Mum, Yu Jin asked for it, let him be.” Yeri said carelessly.

“You wrench, he is your brother.” Madam Wang was mad when she heard what Yeri said.

“I don’t care about him anymore.” Yeri said and then ran away to her room.

“Wendy, you must help your brother.” Madam Wang cried.
