“Xinran, Wujie has already taken the change of clothes prepared for you and gone to the airport. You just need to meet up with her. I will talk to the director for you here, so don’t worry!”
“I’m sorry to trouble you again, Jerry! I know Director Xu doesn’t like actors taking leave and tends to scold people; it might get you in trouble…” Xinran said as she got into the taxi and told the driver to go to the airport, speaking into the phone.
“Foolish woman, it’s just some scolding. Who told me I’m a poor man? Otherwise, I would send you to Japan on a private jet!”
Hearing Jerry’s words made Xinran laugh involuntarily, easing her anxious heart a little. She tightly held her phone, facing the window and lost in thought as the scenery rushed by. She thought Young Master Si was just going back to Japan for some simple matters and would return soon. However, she never expected that when she finally received news about him, it was that he was on the brink of death…
She had always known that as the Young Master of Cherry Blossom Hall, he was putting his life in danger. The so-called Japan's Number One Yakuza—if it were in the past, she would have thought he was a lofty Young Master with countless people protecting him from any danger. But after that terrifying gunfight, she truly realized that when enemies or foes come knocking at your door, they target you; no matter how many people protect you, it doesn’t matter.
The call informing her of his injury came from his grandfather. She wasn’t familiar with his relatives in Japan; even his father and stepmother she had only met once. So when his grandfather’s voice came through, Xinran anticipated something had happened. She listened to the call almost trembling but had to pretend to be strong just to confirm if what his grandfather said was true—was he really close to death?
She didn’t believe Mu Shaosi would die, so she needed to go to Japan to see him. Even if he really died, she wanted him to explain how they would deal with things between them afterward. Until she saw him, if he dared to die, then she, Summer, would dare to hate him for a lifetime!
“Gorgeous Divider”
“Godfather, I bet Summer will definitely come to see Young Master Si!” Shinohara Ryo leaned back on the sofa, playing with a strand of hair with her long fingers and smiling confidently.
“Oh? Then I trust my goddaughter. Yantai, go pick up Cherry Blossom Hall’s Future Lady at the airport. If you neglect her, I’ll hold you accountable!” Takahashi Ryu first sternly ordered Duan Ruyin and then leaned closer to Shinohara Ryo, asking curiously, “Daughter, tell Godfather what’s going on between that brat Zhong Si and that girl? I’m really curious about what kind of woman can trap that brat.”
“Old Master, if Future Lady doesn’t come, won’t I be making a trip for nothing…” Duan Ruyin said angrily, glaring at Shinohara Ryo, this troublemaker who always had ill intentions!
"Duan Ruyin, didn't you hear the Godfather's command?" Shinohara Ryo said with a charming smile, then turned to Takahashi Ryu and added, "Godfather, I haven't had the chance to fully understand what kind of woman Summer is, but she did take a bullet for your brat, putting her life in danger several times. For that courage, I, Shinohara Ryo, truly admire her. Honestly, there are very few people in this world who can earn my genuine admiration, and she is the first woman to do so!"
"I've heard about that. Later on, it seems the brat wanted to send someone to flatten the Shinkawa Society. If I hadn't intervened, things would have really gone south!" Takahashi Ryu said while habitually stroking his beard. "How did those two meet?"
"Well... Godfather, your good grandson once made her suffer terribly. When Xuan told me about it, I thought Young Master Si was quite impressive for almost ruining Xinran's reputation over something that should have been let go long ago!"
"Hahaha, no wonder that girl asked if he was really going to die when she heard the brat was on the verge of death!" Takahashi Ryu laughed heartily, his white beard shaking comically.
"Godfather, women are always contradictory. Summer may say one thing but her heart might already be here!" Shinohara Ryo said with a confident smile.
