CHAPTER 71 : Mother and daughter

"Aren't you afraid I'll lock you in the house?" The threat in Haruno's words was very obvious.

No matter how powerful Tsukune is, she is still just a seven or eight year old girl, and there is no way she can truly fight against Haruno's power. This is the fundamental reason why Haruno is still calm and collected until now. Even if Tsukune spread some rumors, a child's words could never be trusted.

"You won't do that. I know my mother very well. Although you're always scary when you talk, you're surprisingly soft-spoken."

"And to say the least, it doesn't matter even if you actually do this. The automatic message I set up will automatically be sent to the entire network if I don't enter the password for a period of time to disable it." Tsukune is obviously the type of person who likes to think of various possible situations and prepare countermeasures in advance.

"Tsukune, you..."

"If it doesn't work out, I can go straight to my father's house and tell him all the secrets. For example, tell him..." Tsukune said mischievously.

"It's useless. He'll just treat it as a joke. If I hadn't taken you for a paternity test, normal people would never believe such a ridiculous thing." Haruno cut off Tsukune's words.

"But it happened, didn't it? There's a saying that goes well. After all possibilities are eliminated, no matter how strange and bizarre the remaining answer is, it's the only truth." Tsukune said eloquently, "I know there is a way to make Father believe this is true, just as I have a way to make you believe it. In fact, it's surprisingly easy to make Father believe it."

"Mother can lock me up. But do you think she can imprison my father?"

"Okay, you win this round. I won't let Yukino walk away again." After a moment of silence, Haruno seemed to give up on his original decision and sat down on the chair at his living room dining table with a sigh.

As an international student, Wu Shen's identity is still very delicate. If she really did something like illegally arresting him. It's fine if she succeeds, but if she doesn't, it won't be fun if he takes the matter to the embassy.

But looking at her narrowed eyes, you can tell that Yukinoshita Haruno is not someone who gives up easily.

"So mom, after knowing what will happen in the future, what do you decide to do next? Will you take the initiative to get closer to dad?"

"Impossible." Haruno said four words without hesitation, and his tone was cold and decisive. Scary, "I really can't imagine what will happen in the future for me to marry him..."

Haruno is not an alarmist, she is destined to be the heir to the Yukinoshita family business. To increase the scale of business, in the future there will inevitably be business marriages with the heirs of other large companies. This is something that has been decided a long time ago and is the inevitable fate of the children of large families.

To prevent her sister from becoming a victim of the family, she made Yukino an expendable replacement for the family. Now it seems that she has been very successful, but the distance between the sisters is getting deeper and deeper. But she didn't care about that.

It is precisely because of the combination of these factors that she does not believe that she will be able to choose an ordinary person who studies abroad as her partner in the future. Leaving aside whether you like it emotionally or not, it's impossible to get it based on reality alone.

It was impossible for her to escape or run away. Because this means that her surrogate sister will be put in the foreground and also that she has given up the inherited family business.

"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Maybe my father is more capable than you think."

"Anyway, you should be more honest in the future. If you are discovered and used by someone with intentions, it won't be a good thing for us."

Haruno after saying that coldly stood up and walked towards the door.

"Won't you stay with me? I feel so alone right now." Tsukune's voice made people feel weak.

"No…" Haruno put aside those words, resolutely opened the door and left the apartment.

At this moment, the sky outside had completely darkened. Haruno breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky, stopped and was silent for a moment, and then took out his cell phone.

"Hey, Mom. I still have some things to take care of here, so I won't be going home today." They exchanged a few words, and the atmosphere seemed very stiff and cold. However, after spending so much time together, Haruno has long been accustomed to dealing with her mother.

It can be said that before Tsukune appeared, her mother was the only person who could suppress her. As the head of the Yukinoshita family, both her abilities and her majesty are incomparable to those of the current Haruno, and she still needs to continue learning.

After hanging up the phone, Haruno put it back in his pocket and returned to the building with an indifferent expression.

"Welcome back, Mom." When Haruno closed the lock on the door, Tsukune was still sitting where she was, as if waiting for Haruno to return. Tsukune's sweet smile is still there, but it's a little more real than the fake face from before.

------------------

Across the block, Wu Shen and Yukino quickly completed the work of tidying up the room after Haruno left. Wu Shen looked at the time on his cell phone and saw that it was getting late and it was time for dinner.

"What are you going to eat tonight?" Wu Shen opened Yukino's kitchen refrigerator. As the moving work had just been completed, it was naturally empty.

"Let's go to the supermarket to buy some things first." Yukino thought for a while and said.

Originally, she planned to go out with Amane to find a family restaurant for a meal, but then she thought about preparing breakfast for Amane tomorrow morning. I must buy some ingredients now and store them in the refrigerator.

"Then I won't bother you anymore." Wu Shen nodded. He estimated that Mai's stomach would be growling with hunger before long, so he would take the opportunity to go home and prepare dinner.

Just when Wu Shen had just opened the door and was about to leave, Amane's shout suddenly came from behind: "Brother, my sister said she wants you to accompany me... wu wu..."

Wu Shen turned around and happened to find Yukino desperately trying to cover Amane's mouth, she lowered her head and her face was slightly pink.

"Ah, um... you usually buy a lot of things when you're moving, right? Do you want me to help move things?" Wu Shen stopped where he was and tried to send an invitation.

"No, no. It's just me and Amane-chan." Yukino shook her head, speaking a little stuttered.

"Really? Forget it." Since Yukino refused, Wu Shen had no reason to pursue her. He wasn't chasing Yukino. Seeing that he was about to give up, Amane looked at him with a super "fierce" look, seeming to blame Wu Shen for not living up to expectations.

"Sister, I recently watched an introduction to Chinese cuisine on TV and I want to try it." Seeing that there was little hope, Amane suddenly had an idea and used her trump card.

"I'll take you to a Chinese restaurant when I have time."

Upon hearing this, Wu Shen's ears twitched slightly and stopped coming out.

"Wait! Don't go to that kind of restaurant that tricks you. Many of the dishes in this restaurant have been modified and are not authentic!" Wu Shen showed a dismissive attitude, not caring whether Yukino agreed or not. He completely changed what he had just said: the look of retreating in the face of difficulties.

There are actually some examples of this, like the Mapo Tofu in some stores in Japan that use strange mustard instead of Sichuan pepper.

"If you want to eat really delicious Chinese food, leave it to me!" When it comes to cooking, Wu Shen's eyes are shining.
