Chapter 474: The Seductive Mrs. Yukinoshita
Not long after Hakuto left, Yukino came home in a rage. Then she looked at her mother with eyes practically spitting fire.
But faced with Yukino’s anger, Mrs. Yukinoshita was completely unmoved, even somewhat amused.
“I’ve told you many times before that one should not show one’s emotions on one’s face. If you hang all your emotions on your face, it becomes very easy for others to manipulate you.”
Yukino, however, looked at her mother and said, “I didn’t come back this time to discuss this with you. Don’t you have any sense of shame at all?”
Hearing Yukino’s accusation, Mrs. Yukinoshita let out a sneer. “Of course I have a sense of shame, but that depends on the timing. If shame becomes an obstacle to my progress, then it can be discarded. The adult world only cares about gains and losses. You’re still too young, Yukino.”
Yukino completely disagreed with what her mother said. She looked at her mother with anger and annoyance in her eyes. “Is this your excuse for shamelessly competing with your own daughter for a man? Have you no shame?”
Yukino was somewhat exasperated. But Mrs. Yukinoshita had a disdainful sneer on her face.
“So, Yukino, both Haruno before and now Hakuto have protected you too well, causing you to utter such naive words. Dignity and such are not as important as gain.”
Yukino’s expression was extremely ugly. Her mother’s demeanor was like one slap after another on her face.
If it were anyone else, Yukino might have had other ways to deal with them. But the person before her was her mother.
This woman was simply insane. No, she was a madwoman. A complete madwoman. Any normal woman wouldn’t compete with her own daughter for a man.
Faced with Yukino’s expression, Mrs. Yukinoshita instead showed a cold sneer. Looking at her daughter, she said calmly, “I’m determined to have Hakuto. Even the Emperor Shengzong couldn’t stop me.”
Yukino: …
“Don’t push me. If you push me further, I’ll delete your memories!”
“Can you guarantee that deleting my memories won’t also delete the memories related to the Legendary Cooking Utensil?”
Mrs. Yukinoshita looked at Yukino with impunity. Yukino really had no way to counter her. She couldn’t guarantee that the deleted memories wouldn’t include those about the Legendary Cooking Utensil. If they did, the consequences would be quite terrible.
Mrs. Yukinoshita looked at her daughter with a hint of amusement. “Yukino, this is your problem. You’re too weak-willed. If you were a bit more firm and decisive, you wouldn’t be suffering like this now.”
Yukino looked coldly at her mother. Her tightly clenched fists would have already landed a punch on her mother’s face if she weren’t restraining herself.
‘Bitch! Seductress!’
Yukino shouted in her heart. She had now completely given up on her mother.
“Yukino, help me. Let’s, mother and daughter, firmly tie down Hakuto.”
‘Idiot!’
Looking at her mother’s expression, Yukino cursed inwardly. She couldn’t think of any other adjective to describe her mother’s behavior besides stupid.
However, Yukino didn’t sarcastically mock her, because doing so now would be like mocking herself.
The other party was her mother, and she was competing with her for a man. Was that a glorious thing?
No, on the contrary, it was utterly shameful.
Mrs. Yukinoshita looked at Yukino and said, “You, me, and Haruno, the three of us, mother and daughters, working together, even if Hakuto has other women, we’d have nothing to fear. Then…”
Looking at her mother’s fantasizing expression, Yukino was somewhat speechless. It was really too stupid.
Suppressing the urge to criticize, Yukino looked at her mother and said coldly, “Do you know how stupid your behavior is? Do you know what the consequences of such behavior will be?”
Mrs. Yukinoshita said calmly, “The Yukinoshita Family will be immensely glorious and honorable.”
“Stupid. The Yukinoshita Family will be destroyed because of you.”
Yukino really couldn’t imagine why her mother, who had always seemed so calm, dignified, and virtuous, had become like this.
‘Could it be that so-called gain could turn a normal person into such a neurotic?’
Yukino felt a bit terrified. But just as she and her mother were facing each other in silence, someone finally broke the deadlock.
Haruno returned home. Seeing the expressions of her mother and Yukino, she knew exactly what they were arguing about.
“It looks like I came back just in time.”
Haruno had a fake smile as she spoke to her mother and Yukino.
“You came just in time. I need to tell you something.”
Haruno looked at her mother’s expression, sighed, and said, “You don’t even know what kind of person Hakuto is, yet you want to throw yourself at him. I really didn’t expect you to be so blinded by greed and desire.”
Looking at her mother, Haruno showed no mercy. Unlike Yukino, who considered their mother’s status, Haruno unhesitatingly started laying into her.
“Even if you’re so desperate that you want to throw yourself at him, at least don’t drag me and Yukino into it, okay?”
Mrs. Yukinoshita looked coldly at Haruno.
But Haruno showed no fear. She looked at her mother with a hint of mockery. “If you want to throw yourself at him, don’t drag us into it. We know better than you what kind of person Hakuto is.”
“Do you think he can be tied down by a woman? Who gave you the courage to do this, to think this way? Let me tell you clearly, Hakuto is not a man who can be influenced by women.”
