Miharu Taki Qinglong opened his eyes, his heart filled with joy, but on the surface he looked shocked: "What? Could it be the girl who broke off the marriage arranged by her father to be with her?"

Bringing people here during the New Year's holiday would definitely offend my father. My eldest brother's family would definitely be disliked by my father.

After hearing the conversation between the two, the old man's brows were immediately furrowed. He was already in poor health and his mood was easily fluctuating.

The old man was very confused and angry about the girl who made Sakura run away from home to be with her.

He was not an old stubborn man, but naturally he hoped that his granddaughter would act according to his own arrangements.

The Mibuomi family is also a large family with equal status. He has also met Mibuomi Aoi. It can be said that he has a handsome appearance, excellent academic performance, and proper manners. He is definitely a talented person.

Even if Sakura didn't like her, she wouldn't choose a girl whose parents ran away due to debt and who came from a slum.

It's not that he has a problem with ordinary people, but there's a huge difference between children who grow up with parental guidance and those who don't. And children raised by parents with different backgrounds and experiences are also very different.

How outstanding can a girl from a common family who grew up without even her parents' company be?

"Qinglong, let Sakura bring that girl up. No, let that girl come up alone. I want to see what kind of girl has fascinated Sakura."

Miharu Taki Keitaka was a little disappointed. His father was still his father. He didn't get angry in such a situation.

However, it was only a matter of time as long as he saw that girl.

Most people can't get past their father, not to mention that the other party is already at an innate level, and the degree of disgust has been maximized in various aspects.

……

"Grandpa wants to see Naoki?"

Sakura's first reaction was to go with Naoki. Naoki would get nervous if she was seen by her third aunt, so she definitely couldn't handle it alone.

What if grandpa makes things difficult for her?

"Sakura, Grandpa wants you to wait here. He wants to see her alone."

"I'm fine, Sakura."

Naoki curled his lips, "Don't worry."

She accompanied Sakura home, having already expected to experience such a scene.

So, Naoki carried the gifts he bought and followed the middle-aged man in front of him upstairs.

When they arrived at the place, Naoki used a series of moves and recited the lines he had already written.

"Hello Grandpa, I'm Naoki, Sakura's girlfriend. These are some gifts I bought for you, they're health supplements, not meant as a token of respect."

Naoki was holding the gift box of health supplements he had bought from the pharmacy.

Miharu Taki Qinglong on the side rolled his eyes in disdain. They were indeed a commoner family.

I'm afraid that these health products sold wholesale in pharmacies on the shelves are the most high-end things they can think of buying.

My father's health was treated with the highest quality medicinal herbs and the most advanced imported medicines, using prescriptions customized by a team of professional doctors.

People are worried that these cheap health supplements on the shelves may contain impurities that are bad for their health.

The old man looked away. The girl looked pretty good and quite friendly.

"Leave it alone."

This is what it means to accept it. Zhixi was happy because he was afraid that his gift would not be accepted.

She put the gift aside.

On the side, Miharu Taki Qinglong looked at these things boredly, thinking about what to do with them tomorrow.

I can't let my father really take this cheap health product, and it's not good to throw it away, so I might as well give it to the servants as a reward.

"How long have you and Sakura been together?"

First of all, it is such a serious issue, but there is nothing to hide about this kind of thing.

"Two months."

That's right, in just two months, Naoki had almost conquered two girls. She was progressing rapidly, and at this rate, completing the task would be no problem.

However, as a lover who can be brought home for the New Year, two months sounds like too little time.

Did he trick Sakura away in just two months?

Of course, the old man would not think that his granddaughter was in love. His first reaction was that Naoki had used some unspeakable means, similar to drug control.

Otherwise, he watched Sakura grow up, and how could such a smart child like Sakura do such a rebellious and irrational thing?

In order to bring Sakura and Mibu Omi together, he specially arranged for them to attend the same school and the same class so that they could cultivate their relationship from an early age.

After ten years, there was no reaction, and he was instead hooked up by a girl like Naoki who he had only known for a few months.

Although Naoki looks okay, her family background is too poor. In addition, she is a girl. For a big family like theirs, face is sometimes more important than real life.

Although there are cases of girls being together nowadays and we have seen similar news, for the elderly, that is still a matter of another world.

The Miharutaki family is still very traditional and conservative.

Although he was very dissatisfied with Naoki, for someone of his status, he would naturally not drive him away directly, but would let him retreat when he saw the difficulty.

"Only two months? You have a long time in the future. It's hard to say whether you will still like Sakura after graduation."

Regardless of what Naoki thought, she had to get the consent of the Sakura family, so that Sakura would be happier. So, although she hadn't figured out how to deal with the relationship with these girls after graduation.

At least for now, we have to paint a pie in the sky.

"I really like Sakura. I want to be with her forever."

The old man scoffed. "You're still young, and you keep saying forever. Let me ask you a very practical question. How many hundreds of thousands of dollars a month will you make after graduation? Sakura has been raised under our care since she was a child, and the watch she wears costs tens of millions. How many months' salary will it take to afford that?"

Naoki:……

Such a realistic question.

Of course, I couldn't answer at this point and ask Sakura to downgrade her spending. Or I could just let Sakura support herself.

"I...I will work hard to make money."

The old man shook his head. "Sometimes hard work is worthless. Let me give you an example. If Sakura were seriously ill and I asked you to come up with 100 million yen for treatment right now, would you be able to do that?"

"Well... I can't come up with 100 million, but 30 million is still possible."

Naoki twirled his fingers. "If that happens, I'll take it no matter how much it costs."

Money was something Naoki didn't want to earn, as long as she had enough. According to the rules of this world, with her current abilities, she could easily earn money from the major casinos.

What's more, even though Sakura is so powerful, she won't become an ordinary person if she leaves Miharu Taki's house.

The old man obviously thought Naoki was bragging: "Empty promises have no weight."

"Then what do you want me to do to trust you?"

The old man looked at the chessboard beside him and reached for the black chess pot: "I heard that in your academy, gambling is used to decide everything."

"Guess whether the chess piece in my hand is odd or even. If you guess right, I won't object to you two being together. If you guess wrong, you'll break up with Sakura right away."

The old man clenched his fingers into a fist, and it was impossible to see how many chess pieces were contained in it.

Naoki lowered his eyes slightly and used his mind reading ability.

"pair."

She didn't hesitate for long before guessing.

The old man spread his fingers, and black chess pieces fell onto the board one by one.

"One, two...six, seven, eight, nine."

The old man opened his five fingers, and no chess piece fell.

"What a pity! It looks like you lost."

Naoki glanced at the old man and held his hand: "Excuse me."

"Father!"

Miharu Taki Keitaka, who was waiting on the side, was about to rush over when he saw this.

At this time, Naoki took out the last black chess piece from between the old man's fingers.

"Hahaha!"

When his cheating was discovered, the old man laughed instead of getting angry, "Qinglong, step back."

The old man looked at Naoki with a questioning look in his eyes. "You just assumed without hesitation that I had hidden a chess piece. What if you're just unlucky and it turns out to be nine?"

"Isn't gambling all about luck?"

Naoki said calmly.

Although she knew the result of hiding the chess pieces just now through mind reading, even if it was not an even number, she would use the repeat card to try again.

"Besides, I can tell by the look in your eyes. I've seen it many times. It's a look that's meant to deceive people."

The old man had to admit that the girl in front of him was not as bad as he had imagined, and that Sakura had her own strengths, which was why she was favored by Sakura.

However, this is far from enough to make him agree to be with Sakura.

Although he wanted to make another excuse, he just boasted during the gambling game. Even if he used word games, he didn't object to them being together, but it didn't mean he agreed. That at least meant he couldn't chase them away today.

"Okay, go down, I'm a little tired."

The old man looked tired. Ever since he was diagnosed with a terminal illness and was sentenced to only six months to live, his energy has been declining day by day.

If this continues, I'm afraid I'll be bedridden soon.

Perhaps, this is the last New Year that I can spend with the younger generations of my family.

Knowing that the old man would not bother him again for the time being, Naoki kindly reminded him, "Grandpa, I see you look very tired. I brought some health supplements with me. Maybe they will help you feel better."

The old man nodded.

After Naoki left, Miharu Taki Keitaka came over worriedly.

"Father, you look very pale. Why don't you take a rest for a while?"

"Isn't the New Year's Eve dinner about to start? We should at least finish the meal."

The old man shook his head, but his expression became increasingly worse.

In order to return to the old house for the New Year, without advanced medical equipment, I thought it would only take a day or two.

I don’t know if it was because I was overworked this afternoon, but even though I had already taken the healing potion this morning, my body suddenly started to fail.

Seeing the old man's pale face and sweat on his forehead, the middle-aged man hurriedly said: "I will go call a doctor right away."

"Do not."

The old man gasped for breath, feeling very unwell. He didn't even have the strength to stand up. He immediately said, "Qinglong, go get the box from the cabinet."

The middle-aged man took the box, opened it, and inside was a small plastic bottle.

"Give me a pill."

Seeing that the old man's condition was getting worse, the middle-aged man didn't bother to ask more questions. He poured out one of the only two pills left in the small plastic bottle and fed it to the old man with water.

Next, the middle-aged man seemed to have seen a miracle. The old man, whose lips were pale, his whole body was trembling, and he had no strength, as if he was suffering from a serious illness, calmed down within a minute, and his complexion became more and more rosy.

After a few minutes, the old man had regained his former spirit and no one could tell that he was a terminally ill man.

"All right."

"Dad, this medicine is amazing."

Miharu Taki Qinglong raised an eyebrow, looking very happy, and asked tentatively, "Is it the latest medicine developed?"

The old man shook his head: "This is a gift from your uncle Zhao Yan."

Mibuomi Akihiko was a good friend of the old man and the current head of the Mibuomi family. It was in order to maintain family relations and out of friendship that the marriage between the two families' descendants was arranged with him.

The old man seemed unwilling to say more, so he asked Sanchun Taki Qinglong to leave and prepare to change clothes and go downstairs to eat.

The old man held the bottle with the last pill left in his hand and rubbed it.

I don’t know how this medicine is made. It has such magical effects but it is not produced in batches and sold publicly. It can only be obtained through the black market.

Not long ago, his good friend Mibu Omi Akihiko learned that he had an incurable disease, so he sent him a bottle of medicine with three pills in total, telling him that this medicine could save his life in a critical situation.

Since it was medicine sent by a friend, even though the packaging looked simple and there was no manufacturer, he took a pill with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

Then, within just a few days, he felt the feeling of returning from a critically ill patient to a normal person.
