A New Calamity

Chapter 8: Money! Money! Need Money!

hmmm I'm not sure how this chapter will be received but I've written this anyway! hope you enjoy!

also there was not much given about hc's past so i made some things up, hope you'll like it! after all i needed a reason to why hc was thought of as unlucky as a child, so i just made one up! the red eye is a reason , but i think there must have been something that happened so as to cause the alienation right? something that cemented it inside their heads that hc was unlucky and a curse, a bad incident of sort.. so here! and if there actually is smthng mentioned in book5, I'm sorry i havent read it yet! sooo sorry if i completely messed up hc's back story! i just did not find anything regarding that in the summary of hc's life so i let my imagination go...

me trying to quickly move the plot along while at the same time leaving fulfilling developing relationship progress, this is sooo hard!

but i am a veryyyy impatient baby....so fast it is!

Shen Yuan did not know what happened, but a few months after the shifting of his schedule, his main source of income-ahem- Qi Rong and his friends stopped coming to the hotel.

Shen Yuan was.. concerned, he'll be truthful. Again, he did not like Qi Rong at all, but it can only mean a bad thing if a person suddenly broke out of their routine, right? What if that fool got himself in trouble with that mouth? What if he is... dead, ah?

His panic though, was immediately curbed when Yun-jiejie from the brothel shared the latest gossip she heard from one of her clients, who is apparently the father of one of those fake friends.

"Bah! That boring man! Always complaining, he even dared complain about the royal family of the Crown Prince! Utterly shameless!" she grumbled as Shen Yuan quietly did her make up, because he wanted to pay back for the monthly supply of hair dye and was actually amazing at doing make up, or that's what the ladies said, though Shen Yuan was just good at disguises is all, but now he was their make up artist, so yeah, if both parties were content, no problem!

"What's wrong jiejie? He did not do something to you right?" Shen Yuan couldn't help asking, because he knew the dangers of brothel life very well. The brothel ladies might not care for him and perhaps only gave the dye because of the tanghulu, but he did care for them anyway.

''Oh the man is too much of a wimp to do anything, he couldn't even get it up-"

"Jiejie!" Shen Yuan gasped, scandalized, as he looked everywhere for eavesdroppers, but other than the brothel jiejie's awaiting their turn at make up, no one else seemed to be around. And they will be damned if one of that man's guards or some other acquaintance was loitering around the room and overheard this, because this is, you know, a brothel full of beautiful women and lustful men wishing for free fanservice, those bastards! (He had beaten up a few of said men wishing to have a peek, of course! It was only right! )

''Oh hush, Lu-er, you're in a brothel! Such talks are common! And anyway, what would you do if he did?" Ru-jiejie questioned as she brushed through her long black hair.

''I'll mix chilli in his drink and as he wept and shook for water, I'll serve him more chilli till he burned and-"

"Aiyah Lu-er you've got quite the cruel plan, let's put that aside okay? Or we'll lose customers ba! That man is affiliated with the Royal family, or was..." The brothel madam said, painting her nails and chuckling.
