Chapter 307

Kyou Fujibayashi's voice suddenly sounded in her ear, scaring Muku Fujibayashi so much that her expression changed abruptly.

"Sister, don't speak so suddenly, you'll scare people to death."

"I've already been scared by your silly, infatuated look, Muku. Tell me, have you fallen for him?"

"No, no."

Muku Fujibayashi denied it flatly, shaking her head repeatedly.

"Really?"

"Really."

"If I'm not mistaken, your friend Ren Nanase also likes him. I know he protected you and solved a trouble, but have you heard of the 'Suspension Bridge Effect'?"

She explained it to her sister.

"Your current feelings and state toward him, I think, is the Suspension Bridge Effect. What you have for him is more gratitude, not the love between a man and a woman. Because you, Muku, have never been in love, you don't know what love feels like or what it's like to have those thoughts, so this time you've had a misunderstanding and an illusion."

Kyou Fujibayashi hoped as much as possible that her sister would accept and reflect on herself to recognize her own emotional factors.

"Isn't it because of sister?"

Muku Fujibayashi muttered, lowering her head.

Kyou Fujibayashi:???

She quickly thought of the reason: it was because she had always protected her sister, leading to her sister never having been in love, having no experience, and not understanding love.

This blame, it seemed she had no choice but to accept.

"Ahem, ahem, sister did indeed do a bit too much in the past, I will pay attention in the future. So Muku, discuss things more with sister, okay? Don't let sister worry about you. I just feel that that man is definitely not sincere toward you, he is absolutely just coveting your beauty and body."

"Lin-kun is not that kind of person."

She was defending Lin Ye already?

Kyou Fujibayashi's brain felt a bit dizzy. Her sister had already fallen, or at least one foot was already in.

She had to find a way to save her sister.

What should she do?

Kyou Fujibayashi thought of Ren Nanase. If Ren Nanase confirmed a romantic relationship with Lin Ye first, her sister would give up and let go.

But recalling her performance during the two times she met Ren Nanase, whenever the topics of 'dating' or 'love' were mentioned, Ren Nanase would constantly deny it.

With that 'I'm very shy' and 'I don't dare to admit it' embarrassed look, Kyou Fujibayashi felt that pinning her hopes on Ren Nanase was no different from suicide.

By the time Ren Nanase took the initiative to confirm a relationship with Lin Ye, her sister would probably have already been tricked by Lin Ye into going to a hotel.

No.

This absolutely wouldn't do.

"You can know a person's face but not their heart."

"I know Lin-kun better than sister does."

Her sister's firm appearance made Kyou Fujibayashi's heart itch with hatred. What kind of love potion had that man fed her sister?

He only protected her sister once, right? Could it be that her sister is too lacking in love, because she hasn't experienced love or contact with men?

At this moment, Kyou Fujibayashi realized that her excessive protection of her sister in the past had actually harmed her!

"Muku, promise sister, never listen to Lin Ye's sweet talk on a whim, okay?"

Muku Fujibayashi blushed; she knew what her sister meant.

"Understanding a person takes a long time. You haven't even known each other for ten days. If he makes improper requests of you, it's obviously just to get you. Once you are gotten by him, he will distance himself from you and leave."

"I, I know. Lin-kun is not that kind of person either. Sister, don't worry, I will... grasp the degree well."

But Muku Fujibayashi's words didn't put Kyou Fujibayashi at ease.

That 'Lin Ye is not that kind of person' instead made Kyou Fujibayashi conclude that her sister trusted Lin Ye very much. If Lin Ye really sweet-talked her, her sister would be tricked into going to a hotel nine times out of ten.

"As long as you know."

Kyou Fujibayashi, who had parted from her sister, returned to her room.

She sat quietly on the bed, thinking repeatedly.

"I need to break my sister's trust and fantasy toward Lin Ye."

"I must let my sister know Lin Ye's true face."

Could it be... could it be that she only had this choice?

Kyou Fujibayashi pursed her lips.

She took out the mirror on the nightstand and looked at her own face in the mirror.

Maybe... she could do this.

This was all for her sister.

Haruno Yukinoshita returned to the Yukinoshita residence and sent a 'got home' message to Lin Ye.

Soon,

She received a reply—Okay.

"It's no wonder the confession failed like this."

Too boring.

But Haruno didn't care at all.

She passed through the courtyard and noticed the house with the lights on.

It was the parlor.

Could there be guests at home?

Haruno walked over and realized it was her mother sitting quietly in the parlor alone.

"You're back?"

Mother Yukinoshita looked at Haruno.

"I'm back, Mother."

"Sit."

Haruno sat down.

"The distinguished guest? Didn't he come together?"

"He wanted to return to his apartment."

Regarding Lin Ye, Haruno had long since informed her mother, otherwise, she couldn't have raised five million US dollars.

Without her mother's nod, how could she have gotten this sum of money?

It could be said,

At the time when her mother made the decision to provide five million US dollars, even Haruno was shocked.

She thought at the time that providing two hundred million yen would be enough, and even if it were all lost, it wouldn't affect the liquid funds of the Yukinoshita family's industry.

But her mother stated that this was not enough and that more was needed, and finally decided to provide five million US dollars.

This was five million US dollars!

Haruno marveled at her mother's courage and also sighed at her mother's decisiveness.

Obviously,

This time the Yukinoshita family had won the bet.

Even if it was just a win in terms of funds, not to mention the future of having reached a cooperative relationship with Lin Ye, it was even more worth looking forward to.

Now, the Yukinoshita family already possessed a ticket to a brand-new era.

As for how far they could go in the future, it all depended on future development and luck.

Perhaps,

The Yukinoshita family would decline from here on and become dust in the era; perhaps, the Yukinoshita family would seize the opportunity, stand out in the changes of the new era, become a leader, and enter the first-class circle of Japan in one fell swoop, or even the top tier, which was entirely possible.

Mother Yukinoshita poured a glass of water for Haruno, 'Swish, swish...' the water in the glass filled up.

Haruno picked it up and blew on it.

"Any thoughts?"

"Quite difficult to deal with."

Having dealt with so many men, only he completely didn't buy her act.

"Haruno, when you first clashed with him and failed, falling into a disadvantageous position, you should have known that he is different from other men."

A man who dares to directly flip the table to express his own consciousness is completely different from ordinary people. ===== CHAPTER 308 =====
