Chapter 691 - 192: The Death of Yan Huan
"So, Heather, can Auntie finally tell us what she means?"
"No rush, Yan. We’re still waiting for one more colleague."
"Another one?!"
...
...
"Sakuragi Hitomi, look! You keep blaming me! Ye Shiyu is probably a spy infiltrated among us, she’s already betrayed!"
Outside, the duo eavesdropping from the wall were just as shocked by the situation inside as Yan Huan.
Who would have thought that someone like Ye Shiyu would betray?
"What’s going on inside? And what does that education counselor mean?"
Faced with Bai Yi’s question, Sakuragi Hitomi swallowed nervously, her mind in chaos.
Just then, a chilling and illusory voice came from her ears,
"Do you even need to ask? Think about it, if you kissed the President in public, wouldn’t your parents and brothers pay attention to the President?"
It was the detached Sakuragi’s timely reminder from within the Barrier.
Indeed!
This instantly clarified the current situation for Sakuragi Hitomi.
In other words, the President must be targeted by the Black Gold Family behind Spencer!
Given this situation, there are only two possibilities.
First, Spencer’s mother doesn’t see the feasibility of the two people’s differing statuses.
Which means cutting it off early.
If you wait until the relationship deepens, it’ll be too late, possibly leading to a "modern Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" scenario.
Second, Spencer’s mother approves of the President, entering a long period of observation.
Noble families are very particular about choosing sons-in-law and daughters-in-law, after all, family is the foundation of everything.
If the family is chaotic, everything is chaotic, so forming a new family must be done meticulously.
Just like her mother.
She met her father at fifteen and it took seven or eight years to gain her grandfather’s approval to marry into the Sakuragi Family.
And this was with the advantage of her mother’s natural hair color, similar to her grandmother’s.
Now, Spencer forcibly kissed the President, yet Spencer’s mother not only didn’t break their contact, but also arranged a job for the President...
So, has the President caught Spencer’s mother’s eye?!
"Know that, if she decides to help her daughter and recruit Yan Huan as a son-in-law...
"You would be utterly doomed~"
Her mother’s words still echoed in her ears.
At this moment, they felt like a cold splash of water, sending shivers down Sakuragi Hitomi’s spine.
"No good..."
"What do you mean, no good?"
Sakuragi Hitomi was anxious at heart, realizing for the first time the severity now that it had reached a stage of family plotting against each other.
Mom, what should I do now?
Sakuragi Hitomi bit her lip, pulling out her phone and instinctively trying to seek her mother’s help.
"Tap... tap... tap..."
Just then, footsteps echoed from the other end of the corridor.
"Sakuragi, someone’s coming again, could it be An Le? Let’s... hide first!"
"Hide wha...mhm..."
Sakuragi Hitomi was about to message her mother but was pulled aside like an ornament by Bai Yi to hide.
No choice, she’ll have to see who it is first.
"Hum~ hum~"
Peeking from the corner against the wall, Sakuragi Hitomi saw a beautiful woman with cherry-colored hair, dressed in a kimono, smiling as she walked into the classroom,
"Hello, young gentlemen and ladies, I didn’t keep you waiting, did I?"
"Mom...mh!"
Yes, the newcomer was none other than Sakuragi Hitomi’s mother, Sakuragi Yuri.
Sakuragi Hitomi was so frightened she nearly cried out, eyes wide open.
Luckily, Bai Yi quickly covered her mouth, preventing her from making a sound that would alert those inside.
"That auntie looks a lot like you, and she’s also from Ying Country..."
Hearing this, Sakuragi Hitomi pried the hand off her lips with difficulty and said through gritted teeth,
"That’s my mom!"
"Huh? Then why is our mom helping Spencer?"
Watching her mother walk in cheerfully, clearly a guest, Sakuragi Hitomi was filled with questions and anger.
And hearing Bai Yi speak indiscreetly, she blushed instantly,
"Who says ’our mom,’ don’t you have a mom?!"
"I..."
Realizing her slip of the tongue, Bai Yi pouted and quietly said,
"You do! But your mom still prefers to help Spencer over you, doesn’t she?"
"You!"
Seeing the duo outside on the verge of breaking apart again, the indifferent voice of the cold Sakuragi shot through her mind,
"Are you stupid? Instead of understanding the reasons, you let your emotions take over? Quiet, and listen to what’s happening inside!"
"..."
Hearing this, Sakuragi Hitomi finally took a deep breath, suppressing her confusion, and continued to watch inside.
...
...
"Sakuragi... Auntie?"
With the arrival of this third person, Yan Huan’s mind went completely blank.
"Long time no see, President Yan~"
Sakuragi Yuri opened her fan, seeing his confusion, and smiled at Yan Huan, explaining,
"Previously, when I had a meal with President Alvira, she consulted me about educational matters.
"She said that, as Vice President, Hitomi and your adopted sister Ye Shiyu are both excellent.
"Therefore, she hoped to invite them along with you, to teach little Aria..."
Saying this, Sakuragi Yuri closed her fan with a snap, and added,
"I thought since I had no engagements at Linmen during this time, I’d take the initiative to help you out, Yan~"
Behind her, Heather nodded as well, saying,
"Indeed, we are honored to have Sakuragi here for the young lady’s educational guidance during this period..."
However, hearing this, Yan Huan continued to watch Sakuragi Yuri, gazing into her smiling eyes.
Seeing this, a sudden flash of insight struck Yan Huan’s mind, instantly extracting the three layers of meaning in Sakuragi Yuri’s words.
Firstly, besides himself, Spencer’s mother specifically invited Ye Shiyu and Sakuragi Hitomi to serve as counselors.
