People are gambling crazily, their charm is super S

Naoki and Lilika walked into the venue and saw Sakura smiling and talking with some strangers, probably welcoming guests.

Naoki stopped in her tracks and decided not to disturb her.

Because Naoki and Lilika were just students and didn't know anyone in the venue, no one came up to talk to them for a while, and the two of them walked in to find a comfortable seat.

"By the way, why didn't Jule Xingzi come?"

Naoki bluntly calls his master's name in front of Lilika to show that he is not familiar with her at all.

"Sachiko always does things as she pleases. She attends banquets based on her mood. She didn't come tonight."

Haha, I guess he didn’t come because he was afraid that people would get jealous when they saw him and Sakura standing together.

At this moment, Sakura happened to turn her head and saw Naoki and the other person, and immediately walked over with a smile.

"Naoki—and Kirari, welcome!"

Although it is a bit strange to see Naoki and Kirari walking together, they are from the same academy after all, so it is understandable that they are together.

Lilixiang nodded modestly and responded with an elegant and restrained smile.

Naoki took a glance and found that he was really pretending.

"Naoki, I'll bring you to meet my parents."

Naoki was originally thinking about teasing Lilika to make her fail, but Sakura's next words almost scared her to death.

"What... so soon? I'm not prepared at all."

Naoki's body suddenly stiffened.

It must be difficult to be the head of such a large family.

But, calm down...

Sakura is just introducing herself to her parents as a friend tonight, so it should be fine.

Take it easy.

Naoki took a deep breath and followed Sakura to the lounge at the back of the hotel.

"Sakura, I feel so nervous."

"It's okay, I just wanted to let my family know about Naoki first. They're all very easy to talk to."

As a member of aristocratic family, at least they are considerate in terms of etiquette. Even if they dislike or look down on someone, they will not show it openly.

As soon as he entered the door, Naoki saw several young men and women, as well as a prominent lady sitting on the sofa.

Judging from her age, this must be Sakura's mother.

She looks tall and thin. It turns out that genes are inherited. Sakura is also tall.

"Mom, this is Naoki, my friend from school."

"Oh~"

The lady stood up and smiled softly, assuming that Naoki was a member of the student council and probably a descendant of a certain family.

After all, most of the students at Baihuawang Academy are either rich or noble, and more than 95% of those who can get a position have very good family backgrounds.

Naoki suddenly became extremely nervous, his expression became stiff and unnatural, and he even forgot to greet the lady.

But just like Sakura said, her family is very easy to talk to.

The lady seemed to be completely unaware of Naoki's faux pas and said with a smile, "Miss Naoki, this dress suits you very well."

"Don't be so reserved. Sit down. Since you're Sakura's friend, you must have taken good care of her at school."

The lady smoothly brought the topic to something that Naoki was familiar with and could talk about.

"No, it's Sakura who's taking care of me."

Naoki immediately praised Sakura. After all, it was not wrong to praise other people's children in front of their parents. "Sakura is smart and has a good personality. She has helped me a lot."

"You are such a cute kid, you talk so sweetly."

At this moment, the lady personally took the cup of tea that the servant had just poured and handed it to Zhixi. Zhixi was flattered. He took the cup and his brain short-circuited. He blurted out: "Thank you, Mom."

The room was silent for a moment. The lady in front of him had a decent smile, but when she heard Naoki's address, it immediately flickered and turned into surprise.

A few young people who were playing with their phones and drinking tea nearby seemed to have heard some sensitive words and looked over immediately.

A tall young man smiled sarcastically. "Sakura, I didn't expect the news I heard to be true. You want to cancel your engagement with Mibu Omi Aoi, right?"

"But even if you don't like him, there's no need to find such an ordinary woman."

The eyes of the other men and women in the room who looked like the Sakura siblings all fell on Naoki, including the lady of course.

However, this time the lady's gaze was not as gentle as before, but was scrutinizing and examining, with a slight frown on her face, and she was obviously very dissatisfied with Naoki being Sakura's girlfriend.

"Sakura, is what your brother said true?"

The atmosphere took a turn for the worse because of a slip of the tongue from Naoki, and Sakura's expression became tense.

Naoki looked towards Sakura, wondering if she would deny their relationship.

"Yes. Naoki is the one we like."

Oh no, it was just a simple meeting, but now it has turned into a coming-out scene!

Sakura knew that now was not a good time to confess, and even tonight's party would make her parents unhappy because of her. However, she could not deny her relationship with Naoki.

Otherwise there will be no way to explain it later.

Naoki was at a loss, but since Sakura had already revealed their relationship, she could no longer hide behind Sakura, as this would only give her mother-in-law a worse impression.

The lady took a deep breath. "I don't want to discuss this right now. I have to go out and give a speech later. The Mibuomi family is also outside. Sakura, I hope you don't mess this up."

"……Yes."

The Mibu Aoi family was a well-matched family, and a marriage between the two families would benefit both sides. Furthermore, Mibu Aoi was known to have no bad habits, was good-looking, well-mannered, and had outstanding talents in school. Sakura had previously had a good relationship with him.

Is it because this girl suddenly appeared?

The lady glanced at Naoki coldly, her expression dull and her manners poor. How could such an ordinary girl seduce Sakura?

Naoki felt a little blocked in her heart. The depressing atmosphere in the room suddenly made her feel uncomfortable. Such a gloating elder brother was enough to show that the family relationship was only harmonious on the surface.

Born in such a family, personal feelings should be put second, and family should be put first. Even if you don't like someone, you can't break up.

Sakura...

"It's almost eight o'clock. You should go out and greet the guests with your father. I will sit with Miss Naoki for a while."

The lady mercilessly called out all her children, including Sakura.

Sakura looked at Naoki worriedly and didn't move, probably because she was worried that Naoki would be embarrassed by his mother.

Naoki felt that the lady was becoming increasingly unhappy as Sakura resisted, and if this continued, it would probably backfire.

"Um, Sakura, it's okay. You can go out first. I'm fine."

Naoki coaxed Sakura out.

"Heh, I didn't expect that my words as a mother wouldn't work as well on Sakura as an outsider like you."

Naoki:……

Why did you start speaking in such a sarcastic tone? You just praised me for my cute way of speaking.

"mom……"

The lady immediately interrupted: "I didn't admit that I was your mother. How could there be such a familiar girl?"

Naoki scratched his leg. It was really difficult to deal with as expected.

What should I do? Sakura’s family will definitely not accept me.

"aunt……"

Naoki said cautiously, "I know you're not happy with me. I'll change."

"Ah……"

The noblewoman sneered, "I don't know why Sakura likes you, but do you think you'd be better than Mibu Omi Aoi?"

"I can't stop you from being together, but Sakura's engagement with the Mibu Omi family won't change. Even if it does, it won't be on you. Be a smart girl and disappear when the time is right. You can still be with Sakura."

Naoki thought about it for a while, and then finally realized that the lady wanted her to be Sakura's secret lover so that she would not stop her.

As expected, people from these big families all play this game. Many of them have business marriages. It doesn’t matter if there is no love between them. They can still find lovers for themselves.

"Aunt, I think I'm still better than Mibu Omi Aoi."

"No matter what Mibuomi Aoi is like, it's just because he is the heir of the Mibuomi family."

The lady was unmoved, and didn't even show any intention of comparing herself to Mibuno Omi Aoi herself.

"You are not from a big family, right? I can tell by your salary."

"Auntie, you are so discerning. In fact, my parents ran away due to debts, and I am no different from an orphan."

The lady's face darkened. Although she had never thought about it, this girl's family background was simply minus 100 points. She was simply the worst kind of pauper.

How could Sakura like this kind of person!

No, absolutely not!

Wait, the poor often have a weakness, which is that they cannot escape the fate of being overwhelmed by money, let alone a family where the parents are in debt.

"Heh, have you ever thought about the consequences of being with Sakura? Did you know that the watch she wears costs 20 million? Do you want her to follow you and use a watch worth a few thousand, or do you want to use a watch worth hundreds of millions yourself?"

Ah, mother-in-law, you guessed wrong, because I have never thought of marrying Sakura, nor will I ask for her money, and I will not let her live with me.

But such bad words must never be said.

"Aunt, I'm not with Sakura for money."

The lady didn't care, all women would say that, they just wanted more money.

If she is just a woman who is after money, just drive her away. But if she really likes Sakura, you can be her secret lover.

Seeing that the lady was completely unmoved, Naoki felt helpless, but...

Charm card?

The ____ does not work!

If this is used, it may make the lady change her mind, but things will become more confusing.

Don't do anything that would let Sakura down.

"Aunt, please give me a chance to pursue Sakura. I can do anything."

"Oh?"

The lady casually picked up the playing cards on the table next to her, took out the first card, and turned the back of it to Naoki, "You are good at talking big, but now I ask you what this card is?"

Naoki looked at the lady for a while.

"Oh, didn't you say you can do anything? Can't you do even a small thing I mentioned casually?"

"Ace of Diamonds."

The lady's sarcastic smile froze. How...is it possible!

Did you guess it by chance?

But the probability is only 1 in 54.

When this girl came in just now, she never even came to the edge of the table, so it was impossible for her to have peeked at the cards.

"Auntie, am I right?"

Naoki smiled, "Your expression tells me everything."

"How did you know."

The lady's expression gradually became calm.

"I can read minds a bit, and of course, it also relies on a bit of luck. Your expression tells me it's an ace, and as for the suit, it's just a random guess. It seems my luck is pretty good."

This girl might be useful.

"Tomorrow, I have an important business deal to pursue, but there are several families competing for this project. The person who offered this deal likes gambling, and he suggested that we solve it through gambling."

"Yes, auntie, please take me there. I will definitely win."
