However, Asana felt that since Umemiya-senpai had been so good to her and helped her so much, if she had anything to ask for, she would have no choice but to help her even if her abilities were limited.

So she agreed immediately.

"Please ask me, no matter what it is, as long as I can help, I will do my best!"

Umemiya Natsuhi hesitated again, looked around, and after making sure that no one could hear it, she looked at Asana again.

"Actually, this matter has something to do with that kid Mogami."

"Huh...?" Asana's eyes widened immediately. "Did something happen to Jun?"

"Look at how anxious you are. You are such a loser." Mei Gong Xia Fei frowned slightly, thinking of the conversation she had just had with the young man. "Don't worry, he won't die, at least not now."

“Senior…” Asana could only lower her head, “I’m sorry, I… I…”

Although she apologized, her face was still full of concern, she was just too embarrassed to ask any more questions.

Mei Gong Xia Fei hesitated again, but finally sighed.

"Forget it. Although I promised him not to spread this matter, I think you should be kept confidential anyway, so it should be okay to tell you - but you have to promise me that no matter what I say, you will not panic, and don't do anything meaningless. Just listen to my arrangements patiently."

"Yeah, okay." Although Asana was puzzled by the senior's behavior, she still nodded obediently.

"That guy called me this morning and asked me to do something." Mei Gong Xia Fei began to explain, "He wanted to make a deal with a big shot, but he was afraid that the other party would go back on his word, so he wanted to borrow our family's reputation to make the other party dare not act rashly after the deal is completed."

"So, you and your family are the guarantors, right?" Asana understood the situation a little, and then continued to ask, "Then... who is the counterparty of the transaction? And what is the transaction about?"

At this point, Asana couldn't help but become worried again. After all, she knew that if they were going to look for Senior Umemiya, then the situation must be very serious.

"Hmph... This is probably what is called a romantic debt." Mei Gong Xia Fei suddenly snorted coldly, and then showed a disdainful smile, "He wanted to be a hero to save the beauty but ended up hitting a wall, ruining other people's good deeds. Now others are asking him to compensate for the losses, and he had no choice but to find me."

"A hero saving a beautiful girl?" Asana was so shocked that her face turned pale at first, but after a moment she seemed to have thought of something, "Is it... is it because of that incident with Sagihara-senpai?"

"Huh? How do you know her?" Meigong Xia Fei was also a little surprised.

"Jun brought me to see her." Asana answered a little embarrassedly, "She had heard about my story at the time, so she specifically asked Jun to do this. After the meeting, she said a lot of encouraging words to me, asking me to never give up and to persevere to the end. So... I am very grateful to her..."

"That guy is really weird." Mei Gong Xia Fei glanced at Chao Nai, and it was unknown what she was thinking, "Are you angry now?"

"To say I'm angry, maybe a little, but right now it's more meaningful for me to know what happened first..." Asana sighed, "Senior, don't keep me in suspense, I really don't have the patience to say anything else now!"

Seeing Asana so anxious, Umemiya Natsuki continued to speak and told Asana exactly what Mogami Jun had just said to her.

"Asana, I promised him that I would keep it a secret. Strictly speaking, revealing this to you is a violation of that promise. I only told you this because I thought that you cannot be left out of this matter. You also have to promise me that, first, you will not disclose it to anyone else, and second, you will not act on your own and cause trouble for him and me. Do you understand?" After saying this, Umemiya Natsuhime reminded again.

Asana didn't reply immediately, obviously still in shock over what the senior had just revealed to her.

"It's actually... It's actually like this!" After a moment, she took a breath, "The senior executives of the Di Ai Group... They are not ordinary people... Chun actually offended him..."

"Yes, if it is an ordinary and normal large enterprise, it would be fine. Everyone would still have to abide by some rules on the surface. However, the Di'ai Group is completely different. They rely on their own power and have always acted recklessly. They are more ruthless than anyone else. So it is very normal for that guy to ask me for help and want us to insure him." Meigong Xia Fei nodded.

"That Hyoudou Takako is too much. She actually...acted so badly to Jun's classmates. Even Jun was almost bullied by her." Asana raised her head angrily. "They will definitely not end well if they do this."

"People have been saying this for decades, but the Hyoudou family has been alive and well for decades, which shows that karma is just a lie—" Umemiya Natsuki laughed sarcastically again, "But fortunately, I heard that Hyoudou Kazuto is dying, so I guess things will be different in the future."

At this point, she changed the subject and said, "Asana, I have already rejected him because he refused to agree to my conditions. What do you think? Since this kid is so ignorant, why don't we just ignore him and let him figure it out on his own."

Asana's expression was both lost and anxious. On the one hand, she was a little sad that Jun rejected the senior's exchange conditions, but on the other hand, she was more worried about Jun's current situation.

Comparing the two, the latter naturally has the absolute upper hand.

"Senior, this won't do... Can we just watch Chun get into trouble? Please put my affairs aside for now, please don't make things difficult for him anymore, help him through this time, and we can talk about it later if there is anything else..." Asana pleaded with Umemiya Natsuhi in a low voice, "Of course you know Chun's temper, he is so proud, of course he hates being threatened by others..."

"Make things difficult? Threaten? Asana, I understand your feelings, but you are confusing right and wrong. Don't you even know right from wrong for him?" Umemiya Natsuhiko frowned slightly, "You should know that this is not a game. If I really help, then I am taking a risk, right? Think about it carefully. Kurosaki Yoshihiro dared to do something behind their eldest lady, so he definitely did not act alone. There must be someone standing behind him. If we are not careful, it will cause a storm. Asana, I hope you don't think that I have treated him unfairly. In fact, I have given him very generous conditions. I took such a big risk for him, isn't it natural for me to make a request?"

Under Umemiya Natsuki's series of questions, Asana could only nod repeatedly. After all, what the senior said was reasonable. No matter from any perspective, the senior had no obligation to solve the problem for Jun.

But there was no way she could stop there.

Asana sighed.

"Senior, I know this should be a difficult and troublesome matter for you, but...from my point of view, I still hope that you can help him. I...I really can't stand idly by in this matter."

"But didn't you hear what I said? He explicitly refused to guarantee to be with you." Mei Gong Xia Fei raised an eyebrow. "Since ancient times, no one has ever begged so arrogantly, right?"

"His attitude is indeed a bit problematic, but it's really embarrassing that senior sister suddenly proposed such a condition..." Asana replied in a low voice, "The things between us should be solved by ourselves. Relying on external forces is useless. Besides, if he really agrees without thinking and treats emotional problems as items for casual transactions, then I might be even more sad..."

"You're so easy to bully, no wonder others look down on you." Seeing Asana like this, Umemiya Natsuki couldn't help but feel heartbroken again, "It's because you're so easily fooled that you're treated like this. Are you really worse than that Sagihara-senpai? I really don't believe it! It's just that he thinks you're easy to manipulate, so it doesn't matter if he bullies you casually..."

"Senior, stop talking. Maybe this is what I owe him... As Jun said, it's too early for us to talk about this now. There's no need for me to force him to make a decision so quickly. After all, we've only known each other for a short time..." Asana continued to answer in a low voice, "I believe that as long as our bond deepens day by day, one day, without anyone urging us, we will find our own destiny from the bottom of our hearts..."

"What if that destination is not you? Wouldn't all your efforts and expectations be wasted?" Meigong Xia Fei asked back.

"If it really wasn't me, it only means that I don't have the ability. Who can I blame? What I want to do is my own decision. No one is obligated to give me the result I want. Besides, for me, enjoying the process is already a kind of pleasure." Asana smiled slightly, "Besides, don't you have any confidence in me? I... I think that although I am not as good as you seniors, I am... but I am not completely useless, right? I... I shouldn't be an incompetent person who can only rely on others to get what I want, right...?"

Looking at Asana's deliberately relaxed smile, Umemiya Natsuki felt mixed emotions and didn't know what to say.

"Humph, if there really is someone so blind, then he deserves to roll in the mud." In the end, she could only say this hatefully.

Then, she raised her head and waved her hand with a hint of arrogance. "Well, since you've said that, what else can I say? Just consider it an exception. I can help him with this. But let me say this in advance. Although we can consider guaranteeing this transaction alone, it is limited to this. We cannot interfere too much. Otherwise, it would be a direct declaration of war against the Hyoudou family. At most, we can ensure that both parties abide by the agreement. How the situation develops afterwards has nothing to do with our family. If he insists on messing around, then he will bear the consequences himself."

"Thank you, Senior!" Asana was overjoyed and quickly bowed to express her gratitude. "Senior, just do this much. I will also restrain Jun and will not let him continue to mess around."

"It would be strange if you could restrain yourself. Just be careful not to drag yourself into trouble." Umemiya Xia Fei complained sullenly, "Asana, then it's settled. I'll take care of the rest. Just remember to keep it a secret."

“Senior… I’m sure you don’t just want me to do this…” Asana suddenly raised her head and looked at the senior.

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Meigong Xia Fei was a little confused.

"I have some understanding of Senior Sister's personality. She is definitely not the kind of person who is timid and indecisive. Even if she needs to consult with someone when she is undecided, she will not look for someone who is less capable than herself. So... Senior Sister came to tell me about this matter. It is not just about me..." Asana glanced at Umemiya Xia Fei carefully, "Maybe... Maybe she still hopes that I can give you a reason. After all, you guys broke down the talk just now, and you also need a way out..."

Umemiya Xia Fei did not answer, but just looked at the school girl in front of her.

"Also, Senior, you really want me to come and ease the relationship between you two, right? By the way... by the way..." Asana lowered her head again, "by the way, deepen your bond with Jun or something like that?"

“Oh… um… huhahaha…” Umemiya Natsuhime suddenly raised her hand, gently covered her lips, and then laughed softly, “Asana, you usually look confused, but sometimes you are quite smart…”

She herself did not realize that her expression and movements at this moment were really a bit like the expression of her sister Umemiya Haruhime, who covered her mouth with a folding fan and giggled.

Maybe this is the unconscious influence between relatives.

"Since Senior thinks so, then I naturally have to step forward without hesitation, right?" Asana replied with a smile, "Anyway, when the time comes, we can solve this matter together. It can be regarded as me doing Senior Sagihara a favor. After all, when we met, she left a very good impression on me."

"I really want to take a look at that Sagihara Shion. I really can't understand why an egomaniac like him would favor her so much." Umemiya Natsuhiko nodded gently, "Okay, let's do it this way, Asana, you go back first--"

"Then goodbye, senior. I hope everything goes well." Asana didn't say anything more this time. After bowing, she walked back, leaving Umemiya Natsuki alone.

Umemiya Natsuhi looked at Asana's disappearing back and sighed silently.

Just as Asana said, she finally gave herself a reason, relieved her anger and restored her self-esteem.

Then she took out her cell phone.

She wanted to call, but suddenly felt that she really didn't want to talk to that hateful boy again so soon, so she changed it to a message.

"Forget it, Asana begged me just now, so I'll just agree to it for now."

After writing these words, she sent the message.

316, angered

"Forget it, Asana begged me just now, so I'll just agree to it for now."

Because he didn't dare to take out his phone to look at it during class, when Mogami Jun saw this message, it was already afternoon after school.

His first reaction was not happiness, but rather surprise and displeasure.

After all, he had warned Umemiya Natsuki several times not to leak the secret, but Umemiya Natsuki told Izumo Asana and then came over in such a high-handed manner to say that she wanted to help him. This attitude and behavior really made him unhappy.

But then he thought again, Asana was not someone who liked to spread the news, so she would definitely keep this matter secret for him, so he felt a little relieved.

Moreover, it is conceivable that after learning about this, Asana must have said a lot of good things about him in front of Umemiya Natsuhiko, so that she would let go of her anger and change her mind and agree to help him. Then he would be even less angry.

In any case, although he had other plans, the fact that Umemiya Natsuki agreed to help him did save him a lot of trouble, so from a pragmatic point of view, there was no need to refuse because of a little emotion.

After he returned home, he tried to call Umemiya Xia Fei, but she hung up the call just as he got through. A moment later, he received another message.

"Although I have agreed to your request, I don't want to tell you yet. If you have anything to say, just tell Asana directly. She will convey it to me, and what she said is equivalent to my promise. That's it."

The cold and arrogant style between the lines made Mogami Jun couldn't help but smile bitterly.

These young ladies are really hard to serve. They have been flattered by others since they were young, and each of them has developed a self-centered personality. In comparison, Mei Gong Xia Fei, who can treat others normally, is already very good.

A young lady like Asana who is so humble and can easily make people feel warm is really a rare treasure - especially since he has seen her mother's behavior...

If you really miss such a rare treasure, it would be a pity, right? It would be a huge regret in your life, right?

He suddenly realized that he really wanted to hear Asana's voice. Even if it wasn't to thank her, just feeling her kindness would be enough to make him happy.

After thinking about this, he dialed Asana's number without any hesitation.

Fortunately, after the call was connected this time, the call was not hung up directly. On the contrary, Chaona took the initiative to call out, as if she had been waiting for his call.

"Chun, how are you doing lately? I didn't call you during the day because I was worried about disturbing you... After hearing what the senior said, I was worried about you."

Upon hearing Asana's anxious tone, Mogami Jun felt himself relax.

It must be a very comfortable feeling to be cared for by others sincerely.

As expected, Asana can really heal people's hearts...

"Don't worry, I'm fine. On the contrary, I'm in good condition. Don't worry." He smiled unconsciously on his face and answered gently.

"How can we call it a good situation if we have a conflict with those people? They have no moral principles at all." Asana did not agree with his answer and continued to say to him anxiously, "Jun, you really should not take it lightly!"

"I won't take it lightly, but there's no need to be afraid. Although it may look a little bad, please believe me, at least now, everything is not out of control." Mogami Jun patiently comforted Asana, "I know this may sound a little too arrogant, but please believe me, it's true that I'm usually very arrogant, but I never make empty promises without any certainty. Since I said this, there must be a basis for it. Don't panic, just continue to be normal... Asana, please."

This is all Jun Mogami could say. Although he trusted Asana and Sagihara-senpai, he had to keep the secret for his mother. He couldn't tell anyone about his mother's affairs. He could only vaguely tell them that he was sure.

Fortunately, after the previous turmoil, Asana had great confidence in him, and subconsciously believed his promise even though there was no basis for it.

"Okay... since you said so, I'm relieved for now..." Asana seemed to be slightly relieved, but soon became serious again, "However, even so, please don't make trouble anymore and listen carefully to Umemiya-senpai's arrangements! I will also fulfill my responsibility of supervision and will not allow you to mess around again!"

Mogami Jun couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, I will follow Umemiya-senpai's arrangements—" He nodded and agreed, "Not only that, as long as Umemiya-senpai can help me this time, I will sincerely thank her."

After a pause, he added, "I'll be grateful to you too, Asana."

“…Eh…” Asana was obviously a little flustered, and finally managed to control herself, “You don’t have to thank me, this is what I should do… Anyway… Anyway, you must not cause trouble like this again, otherwise I really don’t know what I will do next time!”

"Okay, I'll be careful not to cause trouble again." Jun Mogami agreed.

He himself didn't know whether he could fulfill this promise, but for now he could only agree to it to appease Asana.

"Okay, then let me tell you what I want from you now—" Asana's mood improved a lot, and her tone became lighter. "I know that Kurosaki Yoshihiro doesn't have much time left for you, so she's already contacted her sister. She should be able to get permission soon. Once it's confirmed, she'll tell me right away, and I'll pass it on to you, and you can notify that gentleman, and then we can go to their house to do the deal together."

After a pause, she lowered her voice again, "Chun, don't think that senior sister is indifferent to you now, but in fact she really cares about you. Since she changed her mind, she immediately went to do it, so you must not be angry with her because of her superficial attitude. You should have seen through people like her after interacting with her a few times. She is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. She is really enthusiastic towards those she cares about..."

"Yes, I can feel that Senior Umemiya is really good to us." Mogami Jun nodded in agreement, "So don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know what's good for me. I will always remember those who are really good to me and find ways to repay them."

This is indeed what he really thinks.

"Also...Also..." Asana suddenly hesitated.

"What else? Does she have any other requests?" Mogami Jun felt something was wrong and asked quickly.

"Because... because this matter was caused by Sagihara-senpai, so... so Umemiya-senpai wanted to meet Sagihara-senpai in person..." Asana replied in a low voice, "She said that she was very interested and must want to find out what kind of person would make someone like you put down your status and do this much for her..."

"I do these things not just for Sakihara-senpai, but more to make myself happy." Mogami Jun answered calmly.

"Then why...then why were you so happy when you helped Sagihara-senpai? This question is also something I want to explore—" Asana suddenly said sullenly.

"Ah, I didn't mean me...I meant Umemiya-senpai!"

Mogami Jun was silent for a moment.

Although the request made by Umemiya Natsuki was abrupt, it did not seem excessive - in essence, she had done a great favor on his side, and there didn't seem to be anything unreasonable about her wanting to meet Sagihara Shion, the person involved?

It would be a bit too much if I refused outright.

"Well, I'll ask Sakihara-senpai. If she's willing, then that's it—"

"Well, that's good. I'll be waiting for your news as well." Seeing that Mogami Jun agreed so straightforwardly, Asana seemed to be relieved. "I hope everything goes well... It will end soon and everyone can return to their normal lives..."

"That day will come." Mogami Jun answered firmly.

Suddenly, there was silence between the two people. Asana didn't speak, as if he was brewing something.

Although Jun Mogami couldn't see Asana's face, he always felt that the atmosphere had changed subtly. He couldn't tell what the change was, but it always felt like something was not normal.

"Asana...is there anything else you want to tell me?" Mogami Jun asked cautiously.

"I've finished talking about my senior. I have a few words in my heart to say next... Jun, are you available to listen?" Asana finally answered.

"Well, of course, go ahead." Mogami Jun agreed immediately.
