Free Web NovelChapter 1572: Chapter 468: Selfishness (2)
"..."
Listening to her daughter’s rebuttal, Sakuragi Yuri continued to gently wave her folding fan, a smile on her face.
It was precisely this attitude, like a silent extinguisher, that extinguished the anger in Sakuragi Hitomi’s face towards her mother powerlessly.
Thus, she just frowned, clutched her phone, and turned around preparing to leave.
"I’m going to find the President!"
"Do you really want to share Yan Huan with other girls, just keeping things unclear like this?"
"..."
However, the faint voice of her mother from behind made Sakuragi Hitomi’s body suddenly freeze on the spot.
She turned her head blankly, only to see that her mother had turned completely expressionless, as if removing a disguise, revealing her true self.
"Or do you think the other girls are so selfless, willing to share Yan Huan with you?"
"..."
"Don’t think I can’t tell, you’re all just confused, because of objective reasons, because of your love for Yan Huan, afraid of losing him, that you reluctantly take one step at a time like this..."
"..."
"Since none of you want to be the bad guy, then let us parents be. This is a rare opportunity, Alvira doesn’t use any means, just lets Yan Huan choose for himself, and she’ll accept the outcome..."
"..."
"Otherwise, do you really think if she wants to flip the table, you, or we, could stop her?"
The more her mother spoke, the more Sakuragi Hitomi’s fist had to clench bit by bit.
And the perceptive Sakuragi Yuri just narrowed her eyes and continued,
"Don’t look at me like that, we’re all doing this for you.
"If it were truly about family interests, about face, I wouldn’t have fallen out with your grandfather and taken you away, and Alvira wouldn’t have risked opposition to invest in Linmen for her Aria...
"We don’t consider Yan Huan’s background, his character and ability are well known.
"We only ask that he be devoted to you.
"Is such a simple request excessive?"
At this moment, even if Sakuragi Hitomi doesn’t subjectively admit it, a certain selfishness inevitably reveals its sharp edge.
Even Sakuragi Hitomi, who doesn’t have a bad relationship with any of the hosts, can’t resist the temptation of phrases like "exclusively having the President."
Let alone the other hosts who don’t have good relationships...
Previously, everyone was due to the modifier, now it’s due to the President’s maintenance, that things appear harmoniously on the surface.
But deep down...
Perhaps, everyone... everyone, hopes the President chooses only her.
But...
The President has done so much... for solving the modifier, for us...
Really, a lot, a lot...
"..."
And in the end, Sakuragi Yuri lowered her eyes, paused for a second, and then said,
"Of course, your father and I promised that your marriage is up to you.
"If you really want to be a selfless Saint and find Yan Huan, you can go ahead.
"But you’ll bear all the consequences from now on, we won’t intervene anymore..."
Saying so, Sakuragi Yuri opened her folding fan, pointing to the open door not far away, and asked calmly,
"So...
"Are you going, Hitomi?"
At this moment, following the direction her mother pointed with the fan, Sakuragi Hitomi opened her mouth...
Seemingly ensnared by hesitation.
...
...
"What to do, what to do... Yulu..."
Meanwhile, in Ye Mansion in Jinghe District, Ye Lan was pacing anxiously around the living room on the first floor, clutching her phone.
Aunt Chen had long gone to rest, so no one noticed Ye Lan’s current anxiety in the empty living room.
"Click..."
Of course, except for Ye Shiyu, who opened the door from the third floor and came down.
She was wearing black chiffon pajamas with Bluetooth earphones and holding a water cup, seemingly coming down to get some water.
However, upon reaching the first floor, she caught a glimpse of her mother pacing with a phone, and couldn’t help but be curious.
So she took off her earphones and asked,
"What’s wrong, Mom?"
"Ah..."
Ye Lan was startled by Ye Shiyu’s sudden voice, but when she turned around and saw her, she sighed with relief.
"Shiyu, you... sigh, I don’t even know what to do about this matter?"
"..."
Ye Shiyu remained expressionless, while Ye Lan pursed her lips, looking at her daughter, seemingly a little hesitant.
But after hesitating for a while, she couldn’t hold back, gripping her daughter’s shoulders, speaking earnestly,
"Shiyu, what Mom is about to tell you might be shocking, you need to be mentally prepared."
"...Okay."
"It’s just... Xiao Huan, he... uh... he might have... made a mistake..."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Shiyu averts her gaze a bit guiltily.
But in the next second, Ye Lan couldn’t hold it back, closed her eyes, and blurted everything out,
"Xiao Huan, with several girls at school might be in that kind of relationship!! He’s two-timing!!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Shiyu turned her gaze back, guilt gradually fading, but still remained silent.
And Ye Lan assumed that Ye Shiyu was too shocked by the news, quickly shaking her shoulders to calm her down.
At the same time, Ye Lan bit her nails nervously, choosing her words carefully,
"Shiyu, you... don’t be mad, I know about your strong possessiveness and your fondness for Xiao Huan, but... can you stop liking Xiao Huan for now?"
"?"
"This situation is very complicated now, you... try to think from Xiao Huan’s sister’s perspective and help Mom think of a solution."
"..."
Saying that, Ye Lan even took out her phone, showing the chat interface with Yan Huan.
Although, she hadn’t sent a single word, hence her deep dilemma.
