Chapter 784: Chapter 219: It’s Me, Yan Huan
"Big brother... Sakuragi Ran? Why are you going to see him?"
"I must see my grandfather, immediately, right now!"
"Hey hey?"
At the edge of the corridor, Sakuragi Hitomi led An Le in the direction of the main family hall.
But just after they left, obliviously, the door to the room behind their seating area began to slightly open.
Inside stood Ye Shiyu, expressionless.
She slowly walked out of the room, watching Sakuragi Hitomi and An Le as they left...
Her face slightly chilled.
Right at that moment, Bai Yi, still holding her phone and taking selfies, leisurely walked back to the corridor.
Seeing Ye Shiyu standing with her back to her, Bai Yi pursed her lips and tentatively reached out to tap her on the shoulder.
"Slap!"
Yet, the next second, Ye Shiyu hadn’t even turned around but swiftly grabbed her wrist.
"Hiss~"
"Ye Shiyu, are you crazy! It’s me!"
Bai Yi yelped in pain, but Ye Shiyu merely released her hand and said blandly,
"I know."
"And yet... seriously, I thought our relationship improved a bit during this time! You really are a nuisance! I’d rather go stay with Sakuragi Hitomi now and let An Le stay with you!"
"..."
Ye Shiyu looked at Bai Yi with an expressionless face, showing no reaction.
This expression instantly brought back the oppressive and eerie image of Ye Shiyu that Bai Yi had at the beginning.
"What’s with you? What happened?"
"...Go pack your luggage, then we’ll go find Sakuragi Hitomi."
"Oh, fine... wait, wait a minute! So what exactly happened?! How did I miss everything just by taking a photo?!"
...
...
Time rewinds a little, back before Sakuragi Hitomi and An Le had their chat.
Outside the Sakuragi Family’s main house, Sakuragi Kagami frowned at his phone and said,
"Alright, I’ve arranged a car and driver for you, they should be here shortly. Then, after you see my grandfather, you need to leave promptly."
"Alright."
Seeing Sakuragi Kagami reasonably set up an escape route, Yan Huan rolled up his sleeves and smiled at him,
"Thanks, without an insider like you, I’d really struggle to navigate your Sakuragi Family."
"Who’s the insider here?! "
Sakuragi Kagami pursed his lips, but couldn’t help but say,
"Let’s be clear, using you as an excuse to keep Hitomi at Linmen is just an excuse! It doesn’t imply any relationship or future between you and my sister, understand?!"
Upon this, Yan Huan flashed a charming smile, nodded, and said,
"Ah right, right."
"What do you mean right!!"
Sakuragi Kagami got exasperated seeing Yan Huan like this, but didn’t forget the main task, turning his gaze towards the brick-paved front door of the courtyard in front of him.
This was where the Sakuragi Family Head, his grandfather, lived.
From the outside, although Yan Huan wasn’t clear on the specifics inside, it seemed rather large.
"Around this time, my grandfather should be dining with Lucianna and the others, Ran and Fei are inside too. Let’s go, I’ll go in with you."
Listening to Sakuragi Kagami, Yan Huan couldn’t help but say to him,
"You don’t have to go with me, are you really taking the role of insider? As an outsider, I’m about to turn against them anyway, so it doesn’t matter, you..."
"No, I definitely have to go!"
Sakuragi Kagami brushed his pink hair, gritted his teeth, and said,
"Ran and Fei, those two rookies, dared to deceive me! Actually scheming to send Hitomi to Hawk Country! So far away, how am I supposed to find her then?!"
"...You have to fly seven hours to Linmen as well?"
"But that’s more than three extra hours, isn’t it?!"
"..."
A true marvel.
Yan Huan sighed but still laughed, patting his shoulder,
"Alright, then go with me."
After finishing speaking, Yan Huan set off inside briskly.
Though Sakuragi Kagami spoke boldly, once he stepped into the dead silent main house, he couldn’t help but sweat.
The thought of possibly having a frontal conflict with his intimidating grandfather made him break into a sweat.
Looking at Yan Huan, whose expression was constant and strides swift, Sakuragi Kagami couldn’t help but wipe the sweat from his forehead, whispering,
"Hey, why aren’t you nervous at all?"
Hearing this, Yan Huan turned back and glanced at him, smiling as he retorted,
"If I were in a panic, how could I take her away in front of you all on Sakuragi’s birthday?"
"..."
This remark left Sakuragi Kagami stunned. He then clenched his fists, merely following Yan Huan forward without saying another word.
...
...
"Grandpa, please have some tea..."
"Hmm."
At this moment, in a brightly lit room of the main wing of the Sakuragi residence.
A black-haired little boy respectfully placed a cup of tea beside a gaunt old man.
The old man nodded, just raising his hand, but the little boy instinctively shrank his head back.
Once he confirmed that Grandpa only intended to take the tea, he cautiously revealed his pale little face again.
Below, Kanaya Jyu saw this scene and couldn’t help but tug at the sleeve of the girl beside him,
"President..."
"Hush, don’t worry about it."
Lucianna, who had been disinterested, propped her chin, only concerned with serving food to Kanaya Jyu.
Unexpectedly, the old man on the stage suddenly spoke up,
"Lucy, when the child beside me grows up, how about I send him to your family’s school?"
Upon hearing this, Lucianna put down her chopsticks, sat up straight, and looked at the old man on the stage.
She originally didn’t know how to use chopsticks, but after being with Kanaya Jyu, she specially learned for a few days and now uses them skillfully.
"Grandpa Yoshi, forgive my rudeness, who is this child?"
"He’s my third son’s son, stayed by my side since a young age, and has been personally taught by me."
The elderly man with white whiskers, named Sakuragi Yoshi, stroked his beard, confidently introducing,
"I’ve specifically hired comprehensive professional teachers for him, regulated his lifestyle, taught him how to conduct himself and cultivate morals. He’s an exceptional young talent."
"I see..."
Lucianna looked at the pale-faced, well-behaved little boy standing beside Sakuragi Yoshi, smiling as she said,
"If the child is outstanding, of course, there’s no problem, I’ll talk to my family about it when I return.
However, previously, Sakuragi Hitomi was also taught by you in the same way, but the current performance is... somewhat disappointing?"
At the mention of "Sakuragi Hitomi," Sakuragi Yoshi snorted coldly,
"That child is weak and lacking strength, unable to take on great responsibilities, and does not need to be mentioned again. Inherited her mother’s lack of discipline and mediocrity, that’s all there is to it..."
Lucianna said nothing, merely picked up her teacup, glancing at Sakuragi Ran and Sakuragi Hi, who remained silent.
Anyone with eyes could see that these words were not truly about Sakuragi Hitomi, were they?
"Thump... thump... thump..."
"Bang!"
It was just as Sakuragi Yoshi started to speak that the door to the room was slowly being opened.
Sakuragi Yoshi, in the middle of his meal, was puzzled and initially wanted to ask who was so disrespectful to have hired such a person...
But looking up, he only saw two tall figures standing at the door.
The first was the black-haired, smiling Yan Huan.
The one behind was the cherry-haired, fierce-looking Sakuragi Kagami.
Upon seeing the newcomers, Lucianna, who had been disinterested, had her expression light up slightly, resting her cheek on her hand with a smile as she looked over,
"Oh~ this should be interesting..."
On the other side, Sakuragi Ran’s expression shifted slightly, even Sakuragi Hi’s smile faded a little,
"Kagami?!"
"And... Yan Huan?!"
Yan Huan remained silent, while Sakuragi Kagami, hiding behind Yan Huan, discreetly gave his two brothers the middle finger.
Sakuragi Ran furrowed his brows, while Sakuragi Hi responded with a smiling middle finger in return.
"...You are that President of the Yuanyue Academy who the Spencer family is examining?"
At the main seat, Sakuragi Yoshi cast a glance at the handsome Yan Huan at the door and asked.
Facing Sakuragi Yoshi’s gaze, Yan Huan stepped forward and entered the room.
The floors were made of wood, which normally required one to remove their shoes before entering.
Yet, at this moment, Yan Huan stepped right in with his outdoor shoes.
"Creak~"
Moreover, entering like this, he caused an extremely noticeable creak on the wooden floor.
No need for words, all attention naturally turned in that direction.
The arrival was clearly not friendly...
Nevertheless, this unfriendly visitor still wore a smile and spoke amicably,
"It is I, Yan Huan."
