Chapter 182 – Are You Sure?
"Oh dear did I scare you?" Chi Hang the owner of the shop saw how Xiao Hua 'pounce' on Yu Dong and couldn't help but feel guilty.
She was actually just trying to be welcoming because her height was too short, usually, no one could hear her at once
So she had to shout a lot and raise her voice which made everyone think that she was trying to get in a fight with them. This time she tried to take the other approach by tiptoeing to Xiao Hua's ear and looks like it failed too.
Yu Dong didn't take Xiao Hua's words seriously except his accelerated heartbeat he looked fine. So she pushed him to Shen Li who bravely stood up to the job and took Xiao Hua in his 'care'.
Yu Dong hadn't talked with Chi Hang before but from the previous owner's memories, she could recollect that this short woman was the owner of this shop.

Because Chi Hang only came to her chest Yu Dong had to bow slightly to talk with the latter but even then her attitude was polite and nice not at all arrogant.
Usually when the others saw that she was so short they would often make fun of her so when Chi Hang saw that Yu Dong was being respectful towards her, even her attitude took a one hundred and eighty-degree change, as she smilingly nodded.
"You can, you can ..if you are interested in buying the shop then I don't mind showing you around but.." then she paused and looked at the herd of beautiful and young Mers behind Yu Dong. She scrutinized them for a while then added. "But I think you shouldn't buy this shop."
Yu Dong raised a brow as she glanced at the group behind her, except Xiao Hua who nodded his head fervently everyone else looked fine. "And why is that?"
Chi Hang looked at both sides of the road as she whispered. "You might already be aware of what happened to my son. Actually I wouldn't have to sell this shop if it wasn't for my husband getting sick. I need money for treating him but more than that-" she sighed looking tired and worn out.
"I need peace. The young lady who was chasing my son comes here to cause havoc every day, she seems to have some weird taste – wanting to buy the shop where my son committed suicide. I-" Chi Hang paused before turning her head to the side.
Yu Dong watched her wipe her face with the sleeves of her shirt before she continued in a somewhat hoarse voice. "I don't think that you should buy this shop. You have so many Mers to take care of. If that hooligan took interest in your Mers..I am afraid.." Chi Hang trailed off but Yu Dong understood her meaning, she was warning her out of the goodwill of her heart.
No wonder this shop hasn't been sold for so long. Chi Hang wanted to sell it for the treatment for her husband but not to the young woman who forced her son to die nor did she want to make anyone else suffer what she had. So it wasn't a surprise that the shop was yet to be sold.
"I will take a look." said Yu Dong with a stern expression she patted Chi Hang's shoulder.
"Don't worry about me. I know how to deal with those bratty little spoiled princesses really well! You don't have to worry about me. If she comes to find trouble with me that will be the last thing she will do."
Chi Hang didn't know what to make out of Yu Dong's bold statement. The woman in front of her had a tinge of coldness and her voice was held am authority that the others couldn't ignore, and she sounded confident and aloof like an ethereal beauty. So despite having her doubts Chi Hang immediately perked up.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"All right then come with me." said Chi Hang leading the group inside the front comprised of course Yu Dong, Ye Liu and Chen Mi as for the back it was..
Shen Li and a clingy Xiao Hua who was wrapped on Shen Li's arm like a koala. Shen Li saw Yu Dong going in and then turned to Xiao Hua who simply clung even harder. "Don't even think about it, if you shake me off I will go and cling on to Yu Dong. I bet she won't shake me off."
Shen Li immediately turned speechless. Alright then for the sake of protecting his wife he would let this guy cling on to him!
The shop had a very simple layout with a big entrance area, the front led to a big hall that was once used as a space for the dining area.
The second floor was bigger than the first floor that Chi Hang once used as a VIP zone. The third floor had sleeping rooms that could be booked by the customers who wanted to stay the night.
Chi Hang showed each floor to Yu Dong and the rest before leading them to the back yard that had a kitchen, sleeping quarters for the servants and a small private courtyard for the owners to sleep.
Yu Dong had to admit that the shop was really good. It was once used as an inn and thus it was big enough to accommodate at least fifteen to twenty Mers easily as for the rest of the ten Mers she will just have to think of something.
Now she could more or less understand why the didn't daughter of the hooligan was trying to get hold of this shop. It was nothing like Chi Hang said. The woman troubling them wasn't an idiot. She was rushing to buy this shop because it had potential nothing more.
There could also be a possibility that the rumors about ghosts and whatnot were also spread by her … and maybe the reason she pursued the Mer, in the beginning, was also because she wanted to inherit this shop through him?
Who knows but now that she was here, it was hers.. "I am taking it."
