Chapter 757 - 211: The Enemy Within the Sakuragi Residence (Part 2)
Moreover, Sakuragi Hitomi was already so far ahead before...
Yan Huan and Sakuragi Hitomi, one as President and the other as Vice President, not only spent time together day and night, but Yan Huan also dared to take her away in front of her brother to watch fireworks on her birthday, which was both romantic and a declaration of ownership.
Even so, Sakuragi Hitomi didn’t win and ended up competing alongside these "up-and-coming talents," so what’s there to worry about?
"..."
Originally a bit sullen, Ye Shiyu and Bai Yi were suddenly enlightened by Spencer’s unintended words and felt relieved to sit back and watch...
Even with a bit of "schadenfreude" as they watched.
Let it be, anyway, even if given a chance, Sakuragi Hitomi couldn’t make use of it.
"Well... the tea is here..."
Just at that moment, from behind, An Le returned with the server who was carrying the hot tea.
Afterwards, she obediently knelt beside Yan Huan, looking harmlessly at Sakuragi Kagami.
Sakuragi Kagami glanced at An Le, this plain country girl except for her large chest, and then arrogantly shifted his gaze away, continuing his tit-for-tat with Yan Huan.
Little did he know, everyone else, watching the "Demon King" walk in, couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat.
Ye, Bai, and the others were vigilant, while Spencer looked at An Le’s side profile with a complex expression, thinking about what they had told her earlier.
An Le was also going to join the study group...
Earlier they said An Le was very dangerous, inviting her to deal with An Le together.
Spencer’s "piggy intuition" also told Spencer that An Le was very dangerous now.
But in her heart, she still considered An Le a friend and felt guilty towards her.
She didn’t want to confront An Le, yet her clumsy brain couldn’t think of a way to reconcile, so she was stuck in the middle, temporarily joining Ye, Bai, and the others to ensure each other’s safety.
Yan Huan also found Sakuragi Kagami annoying and didn’t bother to quibble with him, so he straightforwardly asked,
"Alright, stop babbling, just tell me, did you want to kick me earlier because of Sakuragi’s birthday?"
"So what if I did?"
"Then you deserved that slap."
"Damn you!"
Sakuragi Kagami was the most hot-tempered of Sakuragi Hitomi’s three brothers, Yan Huan thought.
Which was actually a compliment, as it meant he was straightforward in handling matters, preferred to deal with problems head-on, and stuck to the topic without dragging in irrelevant issues.
So towards him, Yan Huan didn’t hide his emotions, willing to argue openly to solve the issue without much fuss.
As for Sakuragi’s other two brothers...
Yan Huan could only say, each one was more insidious than the last.
Seeing the sarcastic smile on Yan Huan’s face, Sakuragi Kagami became more indignant, gritting his teeth as he said,
"You can still laugh?! It’s all your damn fault! Do you know, this morning, Grandpa already said not to let Hitomi stay at Linmen anymore!!"
At these words, the atmosphere in the tearoom shifted instantly.
Yan Huan frowned, An Le glanced at Sakuragi Hitomi, and the others exchanged looks.
Sakuragi Hitomi herself widened her eyes, her face turning pale.
Because she understood...
As the one in charge of the entire Sakuragi Family, her grandfather’s words meant something significant.
The next second, she frantically grabbed the edge of the table, asking anxiously,
"Brother, are you serious?! Did Grandpa really..."
Looking at Hitomi’s slightly pale face, Sakuragi Kagami couldn’t bear it, but still nodded,
"Yeah, I’m serious, Grandpa really said that."
"... How... how could it be? For something this big, why didn’t Mom tell me anything?"
"Mom returned to Dad’s place first last night, and when I left the main house this morning, Mom hadn’t come back yet, so how would she know about this?"
Sakuragi Kagami sighed, raised his eyes to look at Yan Huan, and said with a cold smile,
"The eldest daughter of the Sakuragi Family serving as the Vice President assisting outer students at Yuanyue Academy, captured on her birthday by that outer student and spending the night out... Going against the Sakuragi Family’s rules like this, do you think Grandpa would let her stay at Linmen?"
Hearing this, Hitomi’s face turned as pale as a sheet, about to speak, but Yan Huan squinted his eyes and said,
"These things are hard to hide, I don’t believe Sakuragi’s grandfather, as the head of the Sakuragi Family, didn’t know about them from the start.
"At that time, he acquiesced, but now he’s changed his mind. If he isn’t going senile, can I assume...
"Either something happened within your family; or, someone told him something that changed his mind."
Hearing Yan Huan say this, the expression on Sakuragi Kagami’s face changed involuntarily.
And Yan Huan stared directly at Sakuragi Kagami, continuing,
"If there was a family change, Aunt Sakuragi wouldn’t be in the dark about this, so it’s likely the latter.
"Sakuragi Kagami, you might as well be clear, don’t use major issues to pressure me over our personal disputes, now is the time to solve problems...
"I know, whether it’s you brothers or uncle and aunt, all hope she continues to stay at Linmen, right?"
After hearing Yan Huan’s words, not only Sakuragi Kagami but even Hitomi looked at him in astonishment.
"..."
Meeting Yan Huan’s straightforward gaze, Sakuragi Kagami was silent for a long time before finally closing his eyes reluctantly,
"The President of Xiuzhi Academy’s student council, do you know them?"
"... Heard of, but don’t know."
"Luciana Adams, the designated heir of a very powerful family in Hawk Country."
"How powerful?"
At this, Sakuragi Kagami glanced at Spencer beside him, and said flatly,
"On par with her family, but in different fields."
