People are in Mygo, and I can write their personalities.

“I…” Toyokawa Shoko glanced in the direction of her home, “I can’t just switch places with my father like this, otherwise everything I’ve done will have been in vain…”

Xiangzi knew very well that this might have been Nanami Natsuki's original purpose.

Needless to say, her aunt harbored ill intentions towards her. Considering this objective fact, it's not hard to analyze that Nanami Natsuki's proposal of this deal couldn't possibly be for her own good. The other party must have anticipated that her father wouldn't be able to accept reality, after all, that's the kind of person her father is.

Now, he has found a job as a father, which not only proves himself in another way, but also provides a new source of income for the father and daughter who are struggling financially.

Switching back now... will definitely cause problems.

"What do you want from me today? You...you're not going to change your mind, are you? Trying to force us to switch back?!"

"Xiao Xiang always assumes I'm thinking so maliciously... I, as her aunt, have always wanted to be nicer to my niece."

"..."

"By the way, Xiaoxiang, you should know where Ruoye Mutsu lives, right?"

"Of course I know... Wait, what are you going to do?!"

A strong sense of crisis swept over her, even though Nanami Natsuki said those words in a very casual tone, as if an old friend were casually mentioning the recent activities of another old friend.

But knowing all too well how twisted this seemingly cute girl's heart was, she was perfectly aware that Nanami Natsuki's question was definitely driven by some evil intentions.

"Of course I'll help Xiao Mu. After all, she's your friend, my dear niece. How could I show favoritism?"

"No!" Toyokawa Shoko roared instinctively. "You...you've already seen my miserable side, haven't you? You should be satisfied, right? Why...why did you do that to my friend too?"

"Your friend?"

Nanami Natsuki scoffed, "Xiao Xiang, do you really have any friends? I remember you were the one who chose to abandon them, right? Shouldn't true friends stick together and support each other?"

"Leaving without a word of explanation, making them bear the blame for your mistakes alone... Ah, I get it, they are actually your enemies, right?"

"If they are Xiao Xiang's enemies, then they are my enemies. Don't worry, Xiao Xiang. You are too kind to do anything to them, but I am different. I will help you."

"...Natsuki Nanami, you've gone too far! Why are you doing this to me?"

"Uh, what are you going to do?"

Seeing Toyokawa Shoko, who had a dark expression on her face, walking towards her as if she was about to teach her a lesson, Nanami Natsuki couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"I've had enough... I won't let you control me anymore!"

Chapter 48 Chu Hua's Gradual Decline (2/2)

"Uncle, what are you doing?!"

"Calling me anything is no use; I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

"No... I know I'm pretty, but there's too much of an age gap between us. You can't do this to a little underage girl!"

Nanami Natsuki was saying nonsensical things, but her face showed an unusual fear.

However, Xiangzi, who was already blinded by anger, was completely unaware that she had fallen into a new trap. Instead, she grabbed Nanami Natsuki by the collar and held her tightly like a chick.

Of course, this does not mean that Toyokawa Kiyoshi is physically strong. After all, this middle-aged man drinks heavily and does nothing, so his strength is definitely not as good as other adult men of the same age.

But it's more than enough to deal with a weak girl who weighs only around 40 kilograms.

But the question is... why is Nanami Natsuki suddenly so afraid of herself?

Logically, if this guy deprives her of her five senses, she should be dizzy and unable to launch an effective attack... Wait! Something's fishy!

"Hee hee~"

Just as Toyokawa Shoko was about to let go of Nanami Natsuki's hand, she saw the girl in her arms reveal a completely different, mischievous smile.

"Come out, my Aibo~"

"You have accomplices?!"

"Of course, and it's someone you know..."

"what?"

With a look of panic, Toyokawa Shoko released Nanami Natsuki and looked around. Then she saw a girl with a phone in hand, her face full of self-blame and struggle, walking out from the corner where Nanami Natsuki had just jumped out. That girl was Mitsumi Hatsuka.

Why……

Toyokawa Shoko stared in disbelief at the person Nanami called her companion. She never imagined that the person who had become so close to her in the past few days, and who was practically the only one in the company who would support her, would actually follow Nanami's orders and betray her.

Wait a minute... If Chu Hua was already hiding there from the very beginning, then wouldn't that mean the other party already knows the secret that I am Toyokawa Shoko and the secret that Nanami is my aunt?

"Chuhua...why..."

"I'm sorry, Xiao Xiang... I... I didn't want to either..."

“Is that even a question?” Nanami Natsuki interrupted Hatsuka. “Of course Hatsuka was threatened by me. Otherwise, she would never have done something like that to her best friend, right?”

As if she was too ashamed to look at Xiaoxiang, Misaka Hatsuka avoided meeting Xiaoxiang's gaze from beginning to end. However, after some hesitation, she still chose to stand next to Nanami Natsuki.

"Natsuki Nanami! Why didn't you even spare Hatsuka?!"

"Don't worry, Xiao Xiang. Right now, you need to worry more about yourself than about Sister Chu Hua."

"Me? What... happened to me?"

"What do you think?" Nanami Natsuki took her phone from the ashamed Hatsuka and waved it at Shoko. "Toyokawa Kiyotaka, an adult man, attempted to molest a minor girl in the street. I have all the evidence this time. If you don't want your or your father to suffer social death, then stop disobeying me, understand?"

"Nanami Natsuki...why are you so cruel?"

Toyokawa Shoko glanced at Mikasa Hatsuka, then at Nanami Natsuki's smug face, and at that moment she didn't know what to do.

Everyone is going against her... Who can she still trust? Or rather... who can she trust herself?

At that moment, Toyokawa Shoko thought of many people, their faces appearing in her mind. They were the band members she had abandoned, but... now it seemed she was no longer qualified to ask them for help.

"Choose one: do you want me to release the video, or do you want me to tell you Xiaomu's home address now?"

"..."

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as you choosing option one~"

"You...you won."

Shoko Toyokawa slumped helplessly to the ground. In this deserted street, it seemed that only the two people in front of her could see her pathetic state. However, when she noticed that Hatsuka looked ashamed, Shoko felt a little comforted.

She must have been threatened by Nanami Natsuki... that must be it.

Otherwise, Chu Hua would never have done such a thing.

But what good would it do even if she knew? She couldn't even fight against Nanami, so what ability did she have to solve Hatsuka's problem?

"Get off at Seijo Gakuenmae Station in Setagaya Ward. Her house is right next to the Odawara Line railway station. You can find the exact location by looking at the surname plaque."

"Pfft... As expected of Xiao Xiang, you betrayed your good friend so easily."

"...You forced me to do this, you devil... You deserve to be abandoned by the Toyokawa family and live as an illegitimate daughter for the rest of your life."

"..."

"..."

Nanami Natsuki didn't speak, nor did Misaki Hatsuka, who was standing next to her. However, Hatsuka had already turned her head away and lowered her head, her eyes filled with nothing but panic and despair.

"It's okay, Xiao Xiang. I know you were just saying that out of anger. After all, I did do a lot of things that are unforgivable to you. But what I really want to say is that the transactions are all for creating opportunities for you. Who told your father to be so disappointing and not meet your expectations?"

"But you can blame me if you want, after all, I was born to bear a bad reputation."

"...Who cares about your stuff?" Toyokawa Shoko didn't want to argue with Nanami Natsuki anymore. She was in such a bad mood that going home to face her father was almost a pleasure. "Can I go now?"

"Well, it's alright."

Nanami Natsuki watched Toyokawa Shoko leave until she and Hatsuka saw Shoko disappear from sight. Only then did Hatsuka angrily grab Nanami Natsuki's collar and loudly question her:

"Why? Why did you make me do this? Xiaoxiang will hate me... she definitely will, everything's ruined, you've destroyed everything!!!"

"..."

Why aren't you saying anything?!

"I'm waiting for you to calm down."

"Calm? How could I be calm!" Looking at Nanami Natsuki's unmoved face, Mikasa Hatsuka now deeply regretted her decision to help her.

If she hadn't met this guy, she probably wouldn't have done these things...

"Chuhua, I'm trying to help you."

"……help me?"

"You actually want to make Xiao Xiang belong to you alone, don't you? I'm just helping you remove all possible obstacles."

"And the biggest threat to you is actually Ruoye Mutsu, right? She and Xiaoxiang are childhood sweethearts who have known each other since they were little. They have spent more time together than you and your sister Zhen Chuhua have combined."

"Besides, you only did this because I threatened you. How could Xiao Xiang hate you? She will only hate me."

"But Xiaoxiang already knows she has an aunt, she'll definitely find out later... and she also..."

"Don't worry, Hatsuka-neechan." Nanami Natsuki reached out and stroked Hatsuka's cheek. "If you want, I can be your substitute for life. I'll make everyone who knows your identity forget it. As long as you listen to me and become my best partner, I'll give you everything you want..."

"Xiaoyue..."

For a moment, Hatsuka's gaze towards Nanami Natsuki became somewhat unfocused, but she quickly recovered and looked at this unfathomable girl with a strange expression, "What is your purpose? Nanami... why are you doing this?"

"Of course, it's so that you can have happiness and hope."

"……what?"

"Don't you think so? Only after experiencing pain and despair will people cherish the people and things that they should cherish most."

"..." Misaki Hatsuka remained noncommittal about Nanami Natsuki's bizarre theory, but couldn't help asking, "Nanami, will you really... help me?"

"Of course, why would I lie to you? You are the cutest pet."

"Huh? Weren't you supposed to be partners?"

"They're all the same."

"..."

"Nanami, are you going to Wakaba Mutsumi's house to find her now?"

"How is this possible..."

"Huh? So why did you ask Xiaoxiang and Ruoye Mu's home address just now?"
