Ito Lin didn't have any psychological burden. If it could succeed, that would be great. If not, then forget it. Anyway, he and Shinomiya Kaguya didn't know each other and it was none of his business what happened to her.

It's a win-win situation, but it's not a loss either.

It’s just like an online store that sells pills that guarantee the birth of a girl or a boy, and they directly put up an advertisement saying that if the pills are not effective, they will refund the money.

This is a situation where if you win you make a lot of money and if you lose you don’t lose anything.

Soon, the call was connected, and before Ito Lin could speak, an old and weak voice came from the phone.

"When is it your turn as a junior to call me? Is your father dead?"

Good man, he died as soon as he opened his mouth. But my dad is still okay.

However, Sigong Yan'an should have thought that it was Hualian who called him. Hualian's father should have told him in advance that Hualian was going to call him.

"The younger generation will naturally be in charge of the liaison. Mr. Shigong Yan'an, today I would like to ask you to talk to me about your daughter as a father."

Hearing Ito Lin's voice, Shigong Yan'an on the other end of the phone was obviously a little surprised... Wait!!! He was talking about Kaguya in his father's capacity? Why did it sound like he was here to propose marriage! ?

The originally weak Sigong Yan'an suddenly became energetic.

That's not right. My daughter is so cold and aloof that she doesn't even have any friends. How can she have a boyfriend?!

And he even got in touch with the Onjoji family? That doesn't make sense. The old man on Onjoji also has only a daughter and no son? Could he be an illegitimate child like Kaguya?

"I'm not from the Enjoji family. My name is Ito Lin. Hua Lian is my friend. I asked Hua Lian to help me contact you."

"Which bastard dared to set his sights on Kaguya!? Cough cough cough..."

He did not have the calmness of the head of the Shinomiya family. Today he was talking to Ito Lin as a father rather than as the head of the Shinomiya family. If he had been speaking as the head of the Shinomiya family, he would have hung up the phone long ago.

What kind of person is Enjoji Karen qualified to call me!?

But today he is a father.

"I don't know Kaguya Shinomiya, nor have I ever met her, but... there are probably more people who want to take advantage of Kaguya in Shinomiya's house than outside."

After hearing what Ito Lin said, Shinomiya Yan'an fell silent.

Although he was very close to death, he was still concerned about the Sigong Group, and he also knew what had happened there recently.

The two women of the Hayasaka family were hidden spies who cooperated with the Onjoji family's heavy attack. Coupled with the infighting among the three sons, the decline of the Shinomiya family was inevitable.

Shinomiya Yan'an understood many things without Ito Lin telling him, for example, he could roughly guess who asked Ito Lin to come.

After a long silence, his voice was a little helpless.

"......Heh, if I had known earlier, I would have just had one child like that old guy in Onjoji Temple." After sighing, he continued, "Ito boy, you want Kaguya to change her surname to Ito, right?"

"Although I did think so, I have a girlfriend and she wouldn't agree even if Kaguya Shinomiya agreed."

"That's good. You're not from the Enjoji family, right?"

"No." Ito Lin paused, "Not before, not now, and certainly not in the future, but maybe Enjoji is mine."

"Haha, you seem very confident? But I don't see the day when the Onojoji family changes its owner... You come to the mansion of the Shinomiya family to see me, and that little girl Onojoji is not allowed to come."

After saying that, Shigong Yan'an hung up the phone. Lying on the hospital bed, he looked at the ceiling and smiled self-deprecatingly.

It is actually safer to hand over my daughter to a strange man I have never met and to hand over my daughter to a traitor of the Hayasaka family than to let her stay at home... I couldn't keep Mingyezhu back then, and now I can't keep Kaguya.

As a husband and a father...I am such a failure.

……

"We're here. This is the Shinomiya family's residence."

Shinomiya Yan'an didn't let Hua Lian come, so Hua Lian asked Ziyin to drive Ito Lin to the residence of the Shinomiya family.

After getting out of the car, Ito Lin looked at the Shinomiya family gate with exquisite carvings and clicked his tongue slightly... Damn rich people.

After being led by the bodyguards of the Shinomiya family through a courtyard where one might get lost on the main road, Ito Lin met Shinomiya Yan'an, who was leaning on an electric bed and breathing oxygen, in a room deep in the Shinomiya family.

The once high-spirited commander of the Sigong Group is now an old man lying on a sickbed, but the aura emanating from his eyes still makes people feel intimidated.

"Are you Ito Lin? Hmm... You seem okay, but I don't think I've ever heard of a family named Ito having any dealings with the Onjoji family."

Ito Lin smiled without any evasion in his eyes.

Are you kidding...People who have been hit by good luck have died before, so why are you afraid of him?

“I’m just a cartoonist.”

A comic book artist? He seems to have suddenly become unreliable.

That's it.

Shinomiya Gan'an knew very well that the biggest problem of the Shinomiya Group was not Hayasaka's betrayal nor the heavy blow to Onjoji.

The castle was breached from the inside. The Shinomiya family became like this because of the infighting among his three stupid sons. Originally, He and Enjoji just gave a push.

It would be better to hand Kaguya over to him, to the traitor named Hayasaka, or even to Onojoji than to keep her in Shinomiya's house. At least in this way, those three stupid sons would not dare to touch her because they are afraid of Onojoji.

Maybe Kaguya can take this opportunity to break into the Onjoji family and avenge herself.

Besides that, the most important thing is...

Kaguya's mother was born in Gion and was a top nightclub prostitute. Kaguya might not even be her own daughter, so it would be good for her to leave the Shinomiya family and stay away from the disputes.

Just like hiding one's illness and avoiding medical treatment, Shinomiya Gan'an did not dare to conduct a paternity test because he could not accept the fact that Kaguya might not be his daughter.

"Here you go." Shinomiya Yan'an took out a folded piece of paper from the pillow and handed it to Ito Lin.

"Is this a survivor?" Ito Lin took the paper and opened it to take a look. "Marriage application? And it even has Kaguya Shinomiya's name on it? Are you kidding?"

"Of course I'm kidding. Do you think I'd let Kaguya marry you?"

"......"

Okay, okay, you are still in the mood to joke now. Aren’t you afraid of laughing to death?

Then, Shinomiya Gan'an handed Ito Lin another piece of paper. This time it was a real will, which would leave part of his property to Kaguya after his death.

This property is a drop in the bucket for the Shinomiya Group and will not make Kaguya's three brothers jealous, but at the same time it can also maintain Kaguya's current affluent life. As long as she doesn't gamble, it is impossible for her to squander it all. At the same time, this inheritance is not in the form of cash but in the form of a foundation, so there is no need to worry about Ito Lin cheating her of the money.

After handing the will to Ito Lin, Shinomiya Yanan waved goodbye.

After leaving the Shinomiya family, Ito Lin sat in the co-pilot seat and handed Shinomiya Yan'an's will to Ziyin.

In addition to a legacy, he also asked Ito Hayashi to take care of Kaguya.

The reason why it was Ito Lin was because Shinomiya Gan'an was attracted by the relationship between Ito Lin, the Onjoji family and Hayasaka.

Speaking of which, Shigong Yan'an felt a little sad. The only close friend his daughter had ever had in her life turned out to be a traitor.

He knew that Ito Lin came because of Hayasaka, and he also knew that Hayasaka Ai would be very good to Kaguya, but Hayasaka was a traitor after all, and Enjoji was an enemy, so he couldn't just leave it to them, right? Then where would his face as Shinomiya be?

Neither Hayasaka nor Ito Hayashi of Onjoji Temple is the best candidate.

Ito Lin felt that if he accepted the marriage application form, Shinomiya Yan'an would not say it was a joke.

"Are we going to look for Kaguya Shinomiya now?" Ziyin glanced at Ito Lin in the rearview mirror, "She should be at school now."

"No, no, no, it's our first meeting after all, let's go buy some gifts first."

"Gift?" Ziyin frowned slightly... When did he become so particular?

"Let's go to...the photography store and buy her a camera as a gift."

"????"

no......

What's the trick of giving a camera as a gift when meeting someone for the first time?

Although she didn't know why Ito Lin gave a camera to Shinomiya Kaguya, Shion still accompanied Ito Lin to pick out an entry-level professional camera suitable for beginners.

Of course, Ziyin paid for it.

After buying the gifts and estimating that Kaguya should have returned to the villa, Ito Lin went to visit alone.

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Shinomiya Kaguya. My name is Ito Hayashi, and I have been entrusted by Mr. Shinomiya Yanan to deliver his will to you."

Kaguya, who had just returned to the villa, had not had time to change out of her uniform. At this moment, Kaguya was still wearing a black long-sleeved dress uniform. Her jet-black hair naturally fell over the white sailor collar of her uniform. Her pair of red eyes were very cold and showed no emotion at all.

Hmm...it’s actually Bing Kaguya.

I thought it was the normal Kaguya in my memory, but I didn't expect it to be Ice Kaguya.

Ito Lin handed over the will first, and then the camera as a gift.

Kaguya read the will, nodded, and accepted it. Kaguya had no objection to her father's arrangement, and she herself did not want to get involved in the fight in the Shinomiya family.

Besides... in its current form, it's unclear whether the Shinomiya Group will still exist in a few years.

After receiving the will, Kaguya looked at the camera, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.

As the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, Kaguya has received countless gifts, including countless jewelry, but this is her first time to receive a camera.

“Why a camera?”

"Because I think you'll like it." Ito Lin smiled and exchanged contact information with Kaguya, "Your father asked me to take care of you. If you have any questions, just contact me directly."

When they first met, Ito Lin didn't say much to Kaguya. What's more, Kaguya was still in the state of Ice Kaguya, so there was nothing to talk about. After a few simple words, he said goodbye and left.

Compared to Kaguya, Ito Hayashi is more looking forward to Hayasaka. Ito Hayashi is very much looking forward to both Hayasaka Nao and Hayasaka Ai.

……

The Enjo-ji family.

After resting for an afternoon at Ito Lin's house, Hua Lian immediately returned to the Onjoji family's residence after receiving the will from Ito Lin.

After returning home, Hua Lian immediately went to the study and asked a maid to ask her to find Hayasaka Ai. Hayasaka Ai had not gone to school since she betrayed the Shinomiya family.

It’s not that Hua Lian didn’t let her go to school, but that she didn’t want to go to school...What Kaguya hated the most was traitors. Hayasaka Ai, who betrayed the Shinomiya family and Kaguya, didn’t know how to face Kaguya.

"Hayasaka, the matter has been resolved."

"Eh? This... is so fast?" Hayasaka was surprised. She just told Hua Lian about it yesterday, and it was solved today? Isn't this efficiency too fast?

As she spoke, Hua Lian handed the phone to Hayasaka Ai. Hayasaka took the phone and took a look at it skeptically. On the screen was a photo of the will.

Looking at the contents of the will, Hayasaka Ai's hand holding the phone trembled slightly.

This means that Kaguya will be cut off from the Shinomiya family and will no longer be used as a tool for marriage by her brothers.

Although his share of the inheritance was much smaller, at least it would not arouse the jealousy of his brothers and cause trouble.

If Shinomiya Gan'an had held on for a few more years and waited until Kaguya began to take control of the Shinomiya family's assets, and when Kaguya was able to protect herself, the assets could have been divided equally between the brothers and sisters.

But Shigong Yan'an doesn't have much time left.

"Thank you very much, Miss Hua Lian!!!"

Hayasaka Ai bent down deeply, and crystal tears kept flowing out of her blue eyes and falling to the ground.

"No need to thank me, I just helped to make the connection. The one who actually negotiated with Shigong Yan'an was mainly...mainly my friend, so you can just thank him when the time comes."

"Yes!" Hayasaka Ai wiped her tears and nodded heavily, "Please let me thank him in person."

What Hayasaka originally thought was hopeless was accomplished in just one day. After all, Kaguya was an excellent tool for marriage alliances, and the resources she could leverage were a timely help to the Shinomiya family.

But Miss Hua Lian's friend actually negotiated directly with the head of the Shinomiya family, Shinomiya Yan'an, and asked him to cut off Kaguya from the Shinomiya family! ?

What price did Miss Hua Lian's friend pay to do such a thing?

"If there is a chance, I will let you thank him in person."

After saying this, Hua Lian waved her hand and asked Hayasaka Ai to leave the study. Hua Lian didn't need anyone to call her, because after a while Hayasaka Ai's mother Hayasaka Nao walked into the study.

"Aunt Nao, the matter your daughter asked for has been resolved. Now she doesn't have to worry about Shinomiya Kaguya being used as a tool for marriage."

"So, Miss Hualian, what does your friend need?" Although Hayasaka Nao looked calm, she was also very surprised in her heart. Having worked for the Shinomiya Group for almost 20 years, Nao knew very well what Kaguya represented to the Shinomiya family at this time.

It naturally took a considerable price to make the Shinomiya family give up Kaguya, and such a price is not something Xiaoai can afford, so... no matter what the price or what the favor is, I will repay it myself.

After a little consideration, Hua Lian spoke with a smile, a hint of cunning in her eyes.

"Well...he's in need of a maid. Aunt Nao, you can go there to be his maid on weekdays, and how about you come to give me lessons on weekends?"

"Just a maid?" Hayasaka Nao was a little confused. She couldn't afford the price of giving up Kaguya Shinomiya even if she was a maid for the rest of her life.

"Of course." Hua Lian said with a little devil-like cunning, "But I don't know what he will ask you to do. His name is Ito Lin, but Aunt Nayang can rest assured that he is a very gentleman~"

According to the address provided by Hua Lian, Nao arrived at Ito Lin's house.

But...Miss Hua Lian really didn't go to the wrong place?
