Suppressing the urge to throw a punch, he said coldly, "Don't you know that breaking up someone else's family is extremely immoral?"
"Tell me, how much money do you want to leave my mother?"
"Sakura, I was just helping Tsubaki get through her pain."
"Pain? Before you came along, our family was very happy, all because of you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lin Chuan waved his hand gently: "Xiao Ying, are you sure that your so-called happy family is really what you see?"
"What's the meaning?!"
"Come with me, I'll take you somewhere!"
With that, he turned and walked toward Palamera, who was not far away.
Looking at his retreating figure, Miyajima Sakura frowned slightly, wondering what he was up to.
But confident in her own abilities, she still followed after him, her long legs shimmering faintly in the sunset.
After a speeding drive, Lin Chuan parked the car outside a charming little courtyard.
Upon seeing this, Miyajima Sakura frowned even more deeply: "Why did you bring me here?"
"Wait a moment, you'll find out soon enough!"
Faced with such a riddle-solving person, Miyajima Sakura clenched her fists slightly, but still chose to restrain herself.
After waiting for about ten minutes, just as the girl was about to lose her temper, Lin Chuan's indifferent voice quietly rang out: "Here you are."
She subconsciously looked up and her pupils contracted slightly when she saw the car approaching from a distance.
When she saw the imposing middle-aged man stepping out of the car, she couldn't help but murmur absentmindedly, "Wasn't Dad away on a business trip? What's he doing here?"
Immediately afterwards, when she saw a stunningly beautiful woman rush into her father's arms and call him "husband," and an eighty- or ninety-year-old boy come to her side and call her "dad," Miyajima Sakura was struck dumb, sitting in the passenger seat, speechless for a long time.
After the three entered the courtyard, Lin Chuan's slightly amused voice rang out: "Does Xiaoying still think your family is happy?"
"The happiness you see is nothing but a falsehood built upon Xiaochun's countless tears and blood."
Upon hearing this, Miyajima Sakura instantly snapped back to reality, her gaze sharpening: "What do you mean?!"
"Do you know why Xiaochun didn't look well before? That's because..."
"Under the dual pressure of her husband's betrayal and the torment of illness, Xiaochun had thought about suicide more than once, but each time she chose to give up because she was worried about you."
"So, you still think your family is happy? You think I'm the one who broke up your family?!"
One sentence struck Miyajima Sakura's heart like a heavy hammer.
Recalling the times she had inadvertently seen her mother secretly shedding tears, and thinking of those days when she looked incredibly haggard every month, Miyajima Sakura could no longer hide the sadness in her heart.
A lump formed in my throat, and tears streamed down my face like broken pearls.
Seeing his expression, Lin Chuan very considerately took out a few tissues and handed them to him.
After a while, Miyajima Sakura composed herself and was about to say something when her phone suddenly rang.
Upon seeing the caller ID, her expression changed slightly, and she immediately answered the call.
"Okay! Okay! I'll be back in a bit?"
"I want to eat my mom's tempura."
"Hehe~, Mom is the best~"
After hanging up the phone, tears welled up in her eyes again, uncontrollably.
After casually wiping her face with her hand, she looked at her swollen, red eyes and said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what will it take for you to let my mother go?"
"If your relationship gets out, you won't care, but my mother will never be able to hold her head up high again."
"Therefore, I absolutely, absolutely will not let you continue to be together!"
Chapter 139 The Deal with Sakura
A moment later, after Lin Chuan finished explaining his conditions, Miyajima Sakura gritted her teeth, her chest heaving violently with anger.
Finally, he forced out three words through gritted teeth: "You're shameless!"
Lin Chuan, however, was completely unconcerned, a cold smile playing on his lips: "You want to destroy the happiness that Xiao Chun has finally achieved? Aren't you shameless?"
One sentence left Miyajima Sakura speechless: "You..."
Before he could refute, Lin Chuan spoke again: "I have already put forward the conditions. Whether you agree or not is entirely up to you."
"Actually, I'd rather you didn't agree; that would be better for both of us!"
Her delicate face showed several changes in expression, and finally Miyajima Sakura said, word by word, "I need time to consider."
"Of course, is one night enough?"
"I'll be waiting for your reply at home tomorrow morning."
Half an hour later, the girl returned home in a daze and saw Miyajima Tsubaki in the living room, wearing a light white dress and with a gentle smile on her lips.
Looking at the other person, a sudden pang of sadness welled up in her heart, and her eyes, which had regained their luster, reddened once again.
Immediately, accompanied by a heartfelt call, Miyajima Sakura threw herself into his arms like a swallow returning to its nest.
Seeing that something seemed wrong with the other person, Miyajima Tsubaki's gentle face showed a hint of anxiety and worry: "Sakura, what happened?"
When asked, Miyajima Sakura simply shook her head a few times before burying it deep in his broad chest and saying in a muffled voice, "It's nothing, I just suddenly felt that you were having a hard time."
Upon hearing this, Miyajima Tsubaki paused slightly as she gently stroked the other's cascading black hair, and a tender smile returned to her lips: "As long as Sakura is happy, any hardship is worthwhile."
Upon hearing this, Miyajima Sakura's body trembled violently, and she finally made up her mind.
She's always been the one protecting herself; today, let her protect him.
The following day, after asking her teacher for leave again, Sakura Miyajima arrived at the villa.
Looking at the tightly closed door, she seemed to see a colossal beast from the abyss, its jaws agape, ready to devour her.
Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, the girl reached out her soft, delicate hand and gently rang the doorbell.
After a short wait, the door opened, and the tall and handsome Lin Chuan appeared before her.
Immediately afterwards, a deep and magnetic voice rang out: "It seems you've made up your mind. Come in!"
Soon, in the living room, looking at Miyajima Sakura sitting on the sofa with a blank expression, Lin Chuan handed her a cup of tea he had just brewed: "Have some tea."
The girl merely glanced at it and ignored it, then said coldly, "Let's hurry up and make the deal; it'll be better for both of us."
"You're really impatient!"
"However, there is one thing I need to inform you in advance: although I have agreed to the deal, I will still need to contact her recently."
After saying that, seeing that she was about to lash out, Lin Chuan casually waved his hand: "Her treatment has now reached the most critical moment. If you want to see her continue to suffer from that illness in the future, then never mind what I said."
Upon hearing this, Miyajima Sakura could no longer utter the words that were already on the tip of her tongue.
Finally, after a series of changes in his expression, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! I can agree, but you must immediately cut off all contact once the treatment is over."
"Of course! Let's begin!"
With a faint smile and a nod, Lin Chuan came to her side and gently wrapped his arm around her slender waist.
This was the first time in her life that she had such intimate contact with a member of the opposite sex, and Miyajima Sakura's body stiffened abruptly.
Sensing his nervousness, Lin Chuan immediately began to soothe him gently...
Soon after, soft whispers drifted through the villa.
As noon approached, the murmurings gradually ceased.
Seeing the girl's slightly furrowed brows and strained expression, Lin Chuan took out a bottle of healing potion and handed it to her.
Sakura Miyajima's first reaction was to refuse.
But then, upon hearing his words, "You probably don't want her to find out either," she gritted her teeth, took the bottle, uncorked it, and drank it all in one gulp.
The cool water flowed down the esophagus into the lower abdomen, eventually transforming into a cool energy that surged towards the limbs and bones.
Under the soothing influence of this cool energy, Sakura Miyajima felt her burning wounds healing at an extremely rapid pace.
Feeling the effects of that miraculous skill, the girl was so shocked that her pink lips parted slightly into an "O" shape.
Seeing his astonished expression, Lin Chuan couldn't help but lean down and give him a light peck, then said with a faint smile, "Would you like to eat here for lunch?"
One sentence instantly snapped Miyajima Sakura out of her daze.
After declining Lin Chuan's invitation to have lunch together, the girl got up and left.
Before leaving, for reasons unknown, she took with her the proof of her transformation.
After he left, Lin Chuan stretched and returned home to have lunch with Chiba Shoko and the other girls.
At this time, Chiba Shoko and her three daughters, along with Kamiki Otoha and Takumi Sumie, had settled permanently in the family home.
0 ......
After enjoying a delicious lunch, Yuki Kamiki looked at Lin Chuan with her big, watery eyes full of expectation: "Onii-chan, could you tutor me again?"
Before Lin Chuan could say anything, Chiba Shoko spoke first: "Yuki, Lin Chuan-kun has already worked very hard, don't bother him anymore."
Upon hearing this, Chiba Yuki pouted slightly, a hint of disappointment on her face: "Alright then~"
Seeing her like this, Lin Chuan gently patted her cute little head a few times and said with a faint smile, "It's okay, I'm happy that Yuki-chan likes studying so much~"
"Yuki-chan, is there anything you don't understand?"
Feeling the warmth from the large hand above her head and hearing the gentle voice, Chiba Yuki quickly nodded her little head: "Yes! Yes!"
Seeing this, Chiba Shoko couldn't help but sigh softly, "Linchuan-kun, you're going to spoil Yuki like this."
With a faint smile playing on his lips, Lin Chuan gently wrapped his arm around her voluptuous waist: "It's a good thing that Yuki is eager to learn; we should support her."
"After I finish tutoring her, how about I take a set of photos of each of you?"
"My photography skills have improved a lot compared to before!"
Upon hearing this, Chiba Shoko's long, slender, snow-white neck flushed slightly, and her clear, beautiful eyes shimmered with a gentle light.
