Rebirth Space Intellectual Woman || LK ADAPTATION [ BOOK - 1 ]

Opening Ceremony

The very next day, Wang Family received Wang Yu Jin in a gruesome condition, two of his legs were broken, one of his fingers was missing and his face was ruined. Madam Wang was heartbroken when she saw her son appearing like this.

“My son... My son...” Madam Wang cried her heart out seeing her son in that state.

Wendy and Yeri were silent when they saw their brother. They did not expect that those men would return him to this state, it was dreadful. Probably Wang Yu Jin might be in bed for a long time. They felt a little bit of pity for Wang Yu Jin. However, they thought Wang Yu Jin deserved it.

“Mum, we should call the ambulance.” Wendy said.

“Yes! Call the ambulance.” Madam Wang nodded. Her son needed treatment as soon as possible.

Wendy quickly called the ambulance, in about ten minutes later the ambulance arrived.

The paramedic was shocked when he looked at the body of the injured boy.

It was unpleasant, he needs to be careful when lifting the injured boy into the ambulance.

Madam Wang entered the ambulance together with Wang Yu Jin. Before she entered the ambulance, she told Wendy and Yeri.

“Take some money out from under my bed. That money will be used for Yu Jin’s treatment.” Madam Wang said to them.

The ambulance left their house. Wendy did as Madam Wang told her. She got the money; and calculated it, it was a very small amount of money.

“Let’s go to the hospital.” Wendy said to Yeri.

“Okay.” Yeri nodded.

When they arrived in the hospital, in the emergency department, Madam Wang sat on the chair with teary eyes looking powerless.

“Mum, here.” Wendy gave the money to her mother.

Madam Wang took the money, seeing the envelope, she knew this money was not enough for Wang Yu Jin’s treatment, but this what she had. 

Wang Yu Jin was still in the operating theatre. After two hours, the doctor came out of the operating theatre. Madam Wang quickly approached the doctor.

“How is my son?” Madam Wang asked worriedly.

“I will talk about your son in my office, please allow me to clean myself first.” The doctor said and turned towards the nurse. “Bring them to my office.”

“Yes, Doctor He.” The nurse obeyed his order.

“Everyone, please come and follow me.” The nurse told Madam Wang and her daughters.

“Yes,” Madam Wang and her daughters followed the nurse to the doctor’s room.

The nurse asked them to wait and to sit on the chair outside the room. Before the nurse left, she gave a weird look to Wendy. When Wendy saw it, the nurse quickly left them.

Wendy frowned. Why did the nurse give her a weird look before she left? Did she do something weird? Not to mention, the passer-by also gave her a weird look when three of them were waiting for the doctor to come.

When the doctor arrived, he invited three of them came into his office. Madam Wang sat together with Wendy in front of the doctor while Yeri was standing behind her mother and sister.

The doctor sighed. His patient’s condition was serious. The boy was only a 15 years old teenager. He did not know who was cruel enough to do something like this to a teenager.

“How is my son, doctor?” Madam Wang asked when the doctor was still silent.

The doctor sighed again. “Your son is out of critical condition, but his condition is still bad. His legs have lost the function for mobility, he can not use his legs anymore due to late treatment. As well as one of his fingers, it was missing. If the finger was here and in range of the time, we can attach back but unfortunately, it was gone and out of the time. For his face, he will have scars. If you want to remove the scar, nowadays we have plastic surgery technology. If you have the money, you can do it to remove the scar.” The doctor told the truth to the family members of his patient.

Madam Wang cried when she heard about her son’s condition. Her son could not walk on his own legs anymore. How could she tell her son about this? That he was disabled. Wang Yu Jin might not accept that. That boy was still young and proud. He could not accept this news. He might shut himself up.

“Doctor, can you do something about that? Please.” Madam Wang begged.

“I’m sorry, Madam. I already tried my best. As I said, he did not get the treatment in time that made it worsening his condition.” The doctor explained. He continued again. “For the case like this, Madam, you better go and make a report to the police station. They beat a 15 years old teenager. They must be punished.”  The doctor did not know the exact situation. So, he could not talk further detail.

When the doctor said that, Madam Wang felt it was right. She should report them to the police station. She wanted to make the men paid for what they had been doing to Wang Yu Jin.

“Yes, you are right. I will go and make a report at the police.” Madam Wang nodded. “Wendy, you take care of your brother here. Yeri and I will go to the police station to make a report about those men.”

Wendy and Yeri agreed with Madam Wang.

“Thank you, doctor. We will count on you to treat my son.” Madam Wang bowed to the doctor.

Usually, Madam Wang was very arrogant to people but she could not afford to act like that to the doctor who would be the one to treat her son. She needed to respect the doctor.

Three of Wang Family members came out from the doctor’s room. They went to the ward that Wang Yu Jin was placed at. Wang Yu Jin was placed in the intensive care unit (ICU). The visitors could not enter unless the visiting hour.

“Wendy, you wait here. Yeri and I will go and make the report.” Madam Wang said to Wendy.

“Okay.” Wendy nodded.

So, Madam Wang and Yeri went to the police station to make a report. Wendy sat at the waiting place. There were some people who were also waiting at the waiting place. They looked at Wendy weirdly.

“Is that the woman others have been talking about?”

“Yeah.”

“Wow, she really has some nerve to come out of her house. If I was in her place, I would be so ashamed that I wouldn’t want to come out. I really don’t think I have the courage to be like her.”

Wendy heard the two people behind her talking about something and giving her a dirty look. She frowned. ‘What were they talking about?’

“She is very young but knows how to please men.”

When Wendy heard the sentence, she remembered the news about her being a mistress to the old man. She then quickly hid her face. She had thought that the news had already slowed down., but why were people still talking about it? It must be that bitch, Lisa. Although it was her fault in the beginning, she still blamed Lisa for the outcome.

....

The nation had exploded with the news of human trafficking taking place. There had been reports that a man was about to sell a girl to a group that was believed to be one of the major suppliers for prostitutes. The police had received an anonymous tip about the exchange.

At first, the police felt that it was some kind of joke, but they still went to the mentioned place. To their surprise, there was an exchange happening at the reported time. Without waiting any further, the police arrested the people involved. The girl that was about to be sold was brought to the hospital due to a large number of drugs injected into her body.

Lisa was smiling when she was watching the news on the television with her grandfather. Her tip did help to save the girl. She was relieved that the police took her tip seriously.

The identity of the involved parties was still not revealed to the public. The police probably wanted to investigate the matter further but Lisa didn’t mind. She did not want to get involved in the situation anymore. Her target was just white powder. The newest lead was that the minister of tourism, Wei Zhu Feng, was involved, so she just needed to catch up on the news about Wei Zhu Feng.

“People nowadays...” Grandpa Tang sighed. “There is a lot of things that can be sold and brought. Why humans?”

“Human trafficking is a business that can gain a lot of money. Maybe that was why people are selling people,” Lisa said, expressing her opinion.

“Lisa, you need to be careful. Don’t be a victim like that girl in the news.” Grandpa Tang reminded Lisa.

“Grandfather, don’t worry. I had been training for the past two years. I will not let my guard down.” Lisa assured Grandpa Tang.

“Good. Let that Jeon brat help with your training,” Grandpa Tang told Lisa.

“I understand, Grandfather. Oh, don’t forget that two from now we will be going to have the opening ceremony for my ryokan. Grandfather, you will be the one who cuts the ribbon. Be ready.” Lisa reminded Grandpa Tang.

“Don’t worry. I know.” Grandpa Tang smiled.

.....

“50 free onsen tickets have been completed. We will give out the tickets at the opening ceremony. The first 50 people to arrive will each receive one.” Namjoon pointed to the bundles of tickets on the table.

“Great. We need some exposure to our potential customers.” Lisa smirked.

Namjoon also thought the free ticket would promote the ryokan. The free tickets were so a customer could enjoy the onsen for an entire day. The catch was, they could only have access to the onsen. The customers that get the tickets might come back to enjoy all the services provided by the ryokan and those who did not get a ticket might be curious about the ryokan and come to see it.

“We already have some promotions going on in Shiwa Town as well.” Namjoon put another document on the table.

“We will let the local people know about the ryokan first to make it famous. Did you invite some reporters?” Lisa put her hand on her chin.

“Yes. I invited three reporters from different companies,” Namjoon answered Lisa.

“I hope the opening ceremony is successful without running into any trouble,” Lisa hoped.

“Yeah. Owh, about the Wang Family...”Namjoon hesitated to talk about the matter.

“What about it?” Lisa looked at Namjoon.

“I just want to confirm, did you have something do to with the Wang Family’s troubles this time?” Namjoon did not want to accuse his boss.

“Troubles?” Lisa did not admit to anything on the spot.

“Yeah. The youngest son of the Wang Family has already been crippled.” Namjoon told Lisa.

“Crippled? How?” Lisa was genuinely surprised to hear that.

She definitely did not hear about Wang Yu Jin being cripple. She only knew about the news that Wendy was the mistress of an old man. She also knew that Wang Yu Jin was caught gambling. That was all.

“He was caught cheating in the gamble at the Shine Win House, the house of gambling at the neighbor’s house. Because the Wang Family did not prepare the money in the time, they broke his two legs.” Namjoon explained to Lisa.

Namjoon observed Lisa’s expression.

“Really?” Lisa seriously did not know about it.

“Yeah. They also make a report about the matter.”

“I see. But I really don’t have any reason to be scared since I was not involved in that matter. So, Brother Namjoon, you did not have to worry about it.” Lisa assured Namjoon.

“I have one thing to ask you, Brother Namjoon.”

“What is that?”

“When do you want to get married?”

“You!!!”

.........

Lisa was very busy in the morning at her ryokan. The opening ceremony would take place at the Wisteria Garden. That way, the guests could enjoy the beauty of the wisteria flowers during the opening ceremony.

The tables and chairs were placed according to Lisa’s arrangements and the refreshments were placed nearby. Lisa looked at the arrangement. She was very satisfied with this.

“Thank you for your cooperation this time. I hope you will continue to give the same hard work in the future,” Lisa told her employees.

“It is time for us to welcome the guests. Let change our outfits,” Lisa ordered her employees.

The people that were in charge of welcoming the guests went to change their outfits while the others went to their workplace. Lisa went to go see her grandfather who had already changed his clothes. He was talking with Grandpa Feng.

“Are the preparations already done?”Grandpa Tang asked when he saw that Lisa came to see him.

“Yes, I just wanted to change my clothes first. Then we will head to the garden.” Lisa smiled.

Before she left the room, she turned to Grandpa Tang. “Grandfather, you look so handsome when you are dressed up like this.” Then she left.

Grandpa Tang and Grandpa Feng were stunned when Lisa praised Grandpa Tang. They then burst out into laughter.

Grandpa Feng turned to Grandpa Tang. “Your granddaughter is very funny.”

“She stopped by just to tease me. That girl.” Grandpa Tang laughed.

Lisa went to her room to change her clothes. Inside her room, Rosé was laying down, resting and waiting for Lisa.

“There you are, I was so bored waiting for you, girl.” Rosé stood up when she saw the person that she had been waiting for was already here.

“I have a job to finish. The ceremony will be starting at 11 a.m. I need to change my clothes first.” Lisa took off her shirt and went to the bathroom. She wanted to bathe first before changing her clothes. She thought her body smelled from her running around.

After 15 minutes, she came out of the bathroom. Rosé was still in the room looking at the outfit that Lisa was going to wear.

“Lisa, do you know how to wear this?” Rosé pointed to the outfit.

Lisa smiled. Of course, she knew how to wear it. She used to wear it all the time during her past life.

“I know.” Lisa nodded.

“It has a lot of layers. Our traditional dress is a lot simpler than this.” Rosé shook her head when she saw at the outfit.

Lisa chuckled. Yeah, Rosé was right. This outfit was very complex because it was a formal kimono. Due to her past life, Lisa knew how to wear it. Ignoring Rosé, Lisa put on the outfit. She tied up the outfit and when she was finished Lisa went to style her hair. She did not want a complicated style. Just a simple one would be enough.

“Lisa, you are very beautiful.” Rosé praised Lisa after Lisa had finished changing. “You are not wearing any makeup, right?”

“Yeah.” Lisa nodded. She did not want to put any one as she had already used her own skincare line.

“Let’s go. It’s almost time.” Lisa looked at her watch.

The two of them went to pick up their grandfathers. Like Rosé, the two old men praised Lisa’s beauty.

“My granddaughter is very beautiful.” Grandpa Tang was very proud of his granddaughter.

“That brat, Jungkook is sure lucky to have someone as beautiful as Lisa.” Grandpa Feng commented.

Hearing Jungkook’s name, Lisa blushed while holding her smile. Jungkook promised her that if he did not have a mission to complete, he would come to the opening ceremony.

“Let’s go,” Grandpa Tang said, waking Lisa up from her daydream.

The guests were already fulling up the garden and when Lisa and others walked into the garden, many eyes were staring at them. Lisa , as well as Grandpa Tang and Grandpa Feng were already used to all the attention, it was only Rosé that felt nervous when been stared at.

Lisa looked around, disappointed that she did not see the person that she wanted to see. Maybe he had other things to be done. Lisa sighed and then she shook her head. She could not feel like this. This was her ryokan opening ceremony.

“Can I get everyone’s attention, please?” Sister Sooyoung spoke through the microphone.

Everyone stopped talking and paid attention to Sister Sooyoung.

Sister Sooyoung showed her beautiful smile and began her speech. “Everyone, thank you for coming to this meaningful event for us.” Even though she was kind of nervous, she already learned how to control her facial expressions.

“Hello, my name is Chui Sooyoung, and firstly, let me introduce our hotel. Our hotel was named Saisei Ryokan by our owner. It’s meaning is rebirth when translated into our language. It is a very befitting name. When our owner approached me, I was in the middle of ending my life. I didn’t want to live anymore, but our owner made me reborn again with another life. I felt very thankful to our owner.” Sister Chu Mei Fung paused for a moment and continued again.

“Our hotel’s concept is ryokan. For your information, maybe someone from all of you is not familiar with the word ‘ryokan’. The word Ryokan means ‘a hotel’ in Japanese. A Ryokan usually has one hot spring, known as an onsen in Japan. So, here we have about 3 public onsens, as well as seven private ones in the first class rooms.

You can enjoy them in the way you like and the most important part is that our onsens have a good effect on your health. As to what benefits we have here, you can read about them in our pamphlet that we have handed out. You have no need to worry about anything as we have the legendary doctor here, Doctor Tang Jiang Man, to ensure that all of our onsens are safe and suitable for all people.”

Sister Sooyoung used the fame of Grandpa Tang to promote Lisa’s ryokan.
