Tokyo Three Generations

No, besides the sky, there was a familiar face looking down at him, its eyes full of concern.

Her brain seemed to freeze; for a moment, she couldn't even process what had happened.

Under a sky full of stardust, the two of them gazed at each other, and time seemed to stand still.

Then, with a hint of hesitation, the young man in his eyes cautiously asked.

Are you alright, Mu?

As the light gradually returned to her eyes, she finally understood what had happened.

Then, she gently shook her head. "It's nothing."

While "continuing to live" is nothing to be overly grateful for, living is always better than dying.

So she added softly, "Thank you, Chun."

She didn't know the specifics of what happened, nor did she know why the other person was able to rush over and save her so quickly, but she knew that she was saved because of him, and that was enough.

Seeing Wakaba Mutsu's reply, Takasaki Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, he didn't actually know what had happened. He just watched as Ruoye Mu's expression suddenly changed and she turned to look to the side. Instinctively, he sensed something was wrong, and his body acted before his mind could react, rushing across the courtyard to Ruoye Mu's building. That's how he managed to save her at the last minute.

Fortunately, it was only on the second floor, otherwise he really didn't know if he could have caught her safely.

Having just finished bathing, he was only wearing a bathrobe, which was now covered in mud and weeds, making him look disheveled and completely different from the "Glorious Young Master" he had been just moments before.

However, he still showed a relieved smile.

Great, we made it in time after all.

Because he had no similar experience, he was at a loss for what to do. Moreover, under the moonlight, the girl's fair skin and ethereal temperament gave him the thought that "it would be nice to just hold her like this." So he didn't do anything else, just maintained the princess carry position and looked at the girl in his arms.

Unfortunately, there are always some clueless creatures who will shatter the most romantic feelings of youth.

Upon seeing the "fairy" fall from the building, Kenji Sakura was sobered up and hurriedly followed his young master to Jun Takasaki's side.

If it were just him spoiling the mood, that would be one thing, but seeing his daughter fall from the building, Mori Minami also rushed down the stairs with her people, and then ran towards her daughter while screaming.

Sigh, it seems this is the end of the story.

Jun Takasaki sighed inwardly, then suppressed the ripples in his heart and lowered his head to ask Mutsu Wakaba.

"Are you alright? Can you stand up?"

Ruoye Mu nodded gently.

With a touch of regret, Jun Takasaki first placed her on the ground with both legs, and then carefully lowered her down.

When Wakaba Mutsu stood up again, he was a little unaccustomed at first, and swayed for a while before finally regaining his balance.

At that moment, Minami and the others rushed in front of her.

"Mu...are you alright?" Minami hugged her daughter tightly, asking in a voice that was almost choked with tears.

Then she stroked her daughter's face and body with both hands to make sure her daughter was safe and sound.

At this moment, she was naturally worried about her daughter's safety.

But it's not just that.

As her daughter's guardian, she brought her daughter to work with her. If her daughter encounters any accident during the work process, then she will obviously be "unqualified as a mother." The inability to fulfill the contract is a minor matter; she will also face overwhelming online bullying.

Even worse, if those ubiquitous media outlets find out about your usual way of interacting with your daughter, you'll become the target of public criticism, and your acting career could be completely ruined.

That's why she felt such heart-wrenching fear and pain when she saw her daughter fall from the building.

Now that she has confirmed that her daughter is mostly alright, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling almost like she had escaped death.

After her greatest fear subsided, she finally regained a little bit of her rationality.

She turned her head and looked at the young man standing next to her daughter.

Her hazy memories suddenly became clear. She recalled that the young man seemed to be the volunteer who helped Ruoye Mutsu with her luggage at the airport.

What a coincidence!

"Young man, thank you so much, you've helped me a lot... I will definitely repay you handsomely." With the relief of escaping death, she thanked the young man opposite her in the most affectionate tone.

"No need to thank me, I just did what I was supposed to do." Faced with the big star's thanks, the young man remained very calm. "Although Miss Ruoye is not injured, she probably needs to recuperate properly."

“Yes, of course I understand.” Mori Minami nodded, then forced a smile. “Well then, young man, could you do me another favor? The payment is negotiable.”

"What?" Looking at the other party's slightly ingratiating smile, Jun Takasaki was puzzled at first, but quickly understood.

As expected, Minami's request followed immediately: "Please don't tell anyone about what happened just now. Just pretend nothing happened... Please. We'll reward you handsomely."

Jun Takasaki wasn't surprised. After all, it was only natural for a big star to want to suppress negative news after something like this had happened.

But he was in an extremely bad mood.

Even with her daughter in this state, her first reaction was to shut up; she's utterly heartless.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Ruoye Mu, but Ruoye Mu remained calm, as if she didn't mind at all.

Sigh, since she's already agreed, what else is there to say?

Jun Takasaki raised his hand and pointed to Kenji Sakura next to him, "I work for him, and I do whatever he tells me to do."

Seeing that Jun Takasaki was shifting the blame onto Kenji Sakura, Minami Mori breathed a sigh of relief.

Kenji Sakura is from the organizers, and they certainly don't want to see such a major negative news story leaked out. If it affects the event, all their previous efforts will be wasted.

Therefore, she was confident that Kenji Sakura would stand by her side.

“Mr. Sakura, it is extremely regrettable that such an accident has occurred. I think that if this matter were to be exposed, it would likely bring extremely unfavorable negative public opinion to both of us, so I hope you can manage your people well.”

“Of course.” Kenji Sakura nodded quickly. “Don’t worry, none of us will tell anyone.”

After receiving approval from the organizers, Senmina Nami finally felt relieved.

There are only myself, my assistant, and the two people opposite me here. As long as everyone keeps silent, it's as if nothing has happened.

With a sense of relief that "the worst didn't happen," Minami looked at Mutsuka Wakaba again.

If it were the old her, she would probably have blamed her daughter for causing trouble for everyone. But her daughter's behavior just now made her realize that her daughter was probably on the verge of a breakdown. So, she sighed softly and called to her daughter in the gentlest tone possible.

"Mu, shall we go back and rest?"

After she finished speaking, she reached out and pulled Wakaba Mutsu.

Ruo Yemu instinctively wanted to resist, but she was unwilling to disobey her mother in person, so she responded with silent obedience.

"Wait!" Just then, Jun Takasaki, who had been silent all along, spoke up and stopped Minami Mori.

Everyone's attention was focused on him.

"It seems that Miss Wakaba needs to rest alone. Why don't we find a room next door for her to stay in?"

Minami's expression stiffened for a moment.

According to the hotel's arrangement, she and her daughter were supposed to stay in a family suite together. But now that her daughter is staying alone, wouldn't that prove that she is incapable of taking care of her daughter?

"No need, it's fine for us to live together." Considering that the other person had just helped her a lot, she tried to refuse in a tactful tone.

"Then, shall we call the police?"

Not wanting to say anything more to this woman, he simply dropped his bombshell. "In this situation, the police are the most suitable to handle it, aren't they?"

Minami Mori froze, then looked pleadingly at Kenji Sakura, hoping he would discipline his men.

However, Sakura Kenji seemed oblivious to her expression, and after a moment's thought, nodded. "That's true, it might be better for Miss Wakaba to rest quietly by herself. After all, you have so many things to do here, with people coming and going, which would affect her mood..."

Mori Minami was stunned. She couldn't understand why Sakura Kenji, who seemed to be in a high position, would listen to this seemingly immature young man. However, she was too confused to care about such a trivial matter.

She just hoped that the situation could be brought under control and that someone could give her advice on how to reliably resolve this mess.

Now, it's clear that we can't afford to offend these two people easily.

So she could only nod slightly, "Okay, let's arrange it this way for now."

39. Late-night chat

In the original story, Mortis made Wakaba Mutsu fall off a building in the spiritual universe, but this time he was rescued in the physical universe, making it completely symmetrical...

Under Jun Takasaki's insistence, Minami Mori finally compromised.

At this point, Mori Minami, who was already exhausted, didn't want to get entangled any further.

Staying here will only lead to more trouble. Although there are very few guests in the VIP suite, it would be troublesome if other hotel guests or staff saw us.

So she quickly urged everyone to leave.

"Alright, it's getting late, and I'm exhausted. Everyone should go and get some rest; we have a schedule to keep up tomorrow."

Then, she looked at her daughter, who was silent with her head down, her gaze extremely complex, containing both a hint of guilt and a sense of helplessness and uncertainty about what to do.

She could also see that her daughter was now very resistant to her and didn't want to be in the same room with her at all. If she continued to force her daughter to stay, something serious might happen.

"Mu, I'm sorry..." In the end, all the emotions in his heart turned into a sigh. "Get some rest. We can talk about it tomorrow."

“We’ll arrange a room for her right now.” Kenji Sakura quickly agreed. “Ms. Mori, please go and rest.”

Senmina gave her assistant a wink, and the assistant understood immediately. The two of them went upstairs together.

And so, the courtyard returned to silence, the moonlight remained pure and clear, and the earlier commotion had vanished without a trace, as if nothing had happened.

Kenji Sakura broke the silence. He walked over to Jun Takasaki and whispered in his ear, "Young Master, what's the plan now?"

"Didn't you already prepare a room for me? Just let her check in. Don't make things difficult for her. Let her rest as soon as possible. The mother and daughter's rooms are next to each other, which will make it easier for them to meet later." Takasaki Jun was very satisfied with how he had helped him subdue Mori Minami earlier, so his tone was very gentle.

To his surprise, Kenji Sakura's expression changed slightly, and then he hesitated a little, "Isn't this... not a good idea? Should I arrange for someone else? You... you should still be mindful of the impact."

If the young master really wants to try something new, there are plenty of local service industry workers he can find. This Miss Ruoye is underage, and her family is a prominent "Beijing family." If something really happens, no one can cover it up, and he will definitely take the blame and suffer a lot of bad luck.

Jun Takasaki then suddenly realized that his words were highly ambiguous.

"What the hell are you thinking?" Takasaki Jun laughed in exasperation, unable to resist glaring at the other person. "She's half-dead like this now, who could possibly hurt her? Find me another room!"

Although he was scolding him, Kenji Sakura was clearly relieved.

"Oh? I see... I understand... I'll find the hotel manager later and arrange a new room for you."

The two whispered in each other's ears for a while. Ruoye Mu didn't know exactly what they said, but could only guess from their changing expressions that they seemed to be discussing their own affairs.

She didn't ask any more questions, just stood there quietly, letting them arrange things as they pleased. As long as she wasn't with her mother, she could accept standing in the open all night.

They quickly came up with a solution.

Jun Takasaki walked over to Mutsumi Wakaba and asked with concern, "Mutsumi, can you still walk by yourself?"

Wakaba Mutsu nodded slightly, "I'm fine... but you..."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the young man's arm.

Although she only said a few words, Jun Takasaki quickly understood what she meant. She was worried about whether he had been hit by the impact of falling from the building.

So, Jun Takasaki smiled and waved his arm, showing that he was not under any pressure.

"I'm fine, don't underestimate me. I've been exercising since I was a child! Of course, this is also thanks to your slim figure... If you were a few years older, I might feel a bit of pressure."

He wasn't just bragging; when he intercepted Wakaba Mutsu's body earlier, he had already clearly felt that Wakaba Mutsu's weight was unusually light.

Even though Japanese girls are generally slim, she is still considered to be on the thinner side.

This suggests that she ate very little.

Is this really a good thing for a teenage girl who is still in her adolescence?

During their conversation, Kenji Sakura took the initiative to lead the way, and together they went upstairs to the room that had originally been prepared for Jun Takasaki.

Kenji Sakura took out his room card and opened the door, but instead of going in, he gave his young master a wink, signaling him to go in alone.

"I'll go get a new room key from the hotel; it might take a while. You guys talk first." He then provided a perfect alibi and turned to leave.

"Yoshiko, you're really something!" Jun Takasaki could only silently praise Sakura Kenji as he watched him leave.

The old man in the family can't stop him from doing this anymore.

So the two of them went inside together.

As soon as she entered, Ruoye Mu found the sofa and sat down immediately, leaning on the armrest. Exhausted, she had no strength left.

Although she was still very close to her mother, Ruoye Mu was visibly relaxed when she thought that she wouldn't have to be with her mother tonight and wouldn't have to bear the tangible or intangible pressure from her mother.

Seeing her relax, Jun Takasaki breathed a sigh of relief.
