Uneasy daily life

"Yes, yes, yes! She's a celebrity from Japan. That guy is in the same industry as her, and they interact quite a bit. They've acted in dramas and appeared on shows together!" The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly, then suddenly realized, "You still remember? It was just a misunderstanding!"

The middle-aged woman suddenly asked in surprise, "Sakurajima Mai and Nishiro are very close? So she's Nishiro's girlfriend? But this Yukinoshita Yukino seems to be Nishiro's girlfriend..."

"It's probably a translation issue. Whenever we translate longer sentences, the content becomes quite idiotic. If we just ask shorter questions, the translation will be more accurate."

The middle-aged man pressed a button on his phone, translated the message, and then turned the screen on.

"What are they talking about?"

"They probably realized we were Bai Jun's girlfriends, and then they got confused, right?"

"Hmm, that makes sense—the hater's...uncle is typing."

Seeing the couple across from them speaking in a language they couldn't understand, the three of them, who were also whispering and discussing amongst themselves, quickly looked over.

Who is my son's girlfriend?

The three looked at each other, wondering if they had already answered that question.

Yukino Yukinoshita typed a reply: 【All of them.】

All of them?

The middle-aged man and woman looked at each other in bewilderment. After a long while, the woman slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "I knew it! Is there any normal person who could date Erbai?!"

"I think they all seem normal... The way they're addressed is just a matter of translation. The girls are all very polite, and they're all pretty and charming. They don't look like mental patients at all, do they?" the middle-aged man said dismissively. "That kid may be unreliable and like to cause trouble, but at least he inherited my good genes. It's not surprising that he can get girlfriends, is it?"

The middle-aged woman glared at him: "What if you had three girlfriends?!"

"Is that even a question?!" The middle-aged man slapped his thigh. "That kid's been caught cheating! They came straight to our house!"

The middle-aged woman couldn't hold back any longer and subconsciously took a closer look at the three young girls sitting opposite her.

Yukino Yukinoshita is aloof and beautiful. Even sitting upright with her legs together, she maintains a proper posture. Her expression is not very varied, but she looks like she's in a bad mood—like a well-bred young lady who has been deceived in love and has come to talk to them, yet still maintains her manners and upbringing! She directly calls herself her godmother... mother-in-law, clearly showing her attitude of competing with and disrespecting the other two girls!

Mai Sakurajima returned a smile. This girl's attitude seemed very friendly and gentle at first glance, but she was actually a celebrity from Japan. Moreover, she maintained a calm and smiling expression from beginning to end. The more you thought about it, the more you felt that she was hiding a knife behind her smile, and that she was up to no good! She called her husband "Dad" earlier, and Yukino Yukinoshita explained that it was a slip of the tongue, but upon closer inspection, it was clear that Mai had jumped the gun first. Yukino Yukinoshita then used the translator to retaliate. The two of them were secretly exchanging barbs!

Feng Bin and Hua… This girl, who looked the youngest, seemed a bit agitated. She had her arms crossed and legs propped up, clearly trying to control her emotions. However, being so young, her control wasn't quite there yet. When their eyes met, she would stare back defiantly. Obviously, compared to the two girls who were openly vying for her girlfriend's attention, this girl wasn't there to ask for her ID; she was there to collect a debt.

"...Hiss!" The middle-aged woman gasped. "I always thought that with Erbai's personality, it would be hard for him to find a girlfriend, let alone a woman... But he's a man of few words, yet he's already attracted three! Have I seen him turn into a complete scumbag in the last few years?"

Yukino and the other two looked at the middle-aged woman with a rich expression and seemingly a lot to say with curiosity, feeling nervous and puzzled. Only then did she confirm the current situation.

The middle-aged woman quickly smiled at them to show her friendliness.

The three looked at each other in bewilderment... Well, was Bai Ying's mother so easygoing that she accepted it after only a moment of surprise?

"What do we do now?" the middle-aged woman asked.

The middle-aged man's expression was calm and serious: "What else can we do? Didn't that kid say it when he left home back then?"

“That’s true…” The middle-aged woman nodded vigorously in agreement. “Then let’s do as Erbai says!”

The middle-aged man looked down and tapped a few times on his phone before nervously showing the screen.

We have severed all kinship with Bai Ying and have no right to interfere in your affairs.

"?"

"?"

"?"

Question marks appeared above the heads of the three people, with one of them asking, "Huh?"

It's definitely a problem with an idiotic translator!

Yukino Yukinoshita calmed down and quickly pressed her phone: "You mean—you want to sever ties with Haku-kun?"

【right! 】

The middle-aged couple nodded earnestly.

No translation issues?!

Yukino Yukinoshita froze, Mai Sakurajima was shocked, and Kazuha Toyohama stood up abruptly, angrily retorting, "Hey! What is this? We have no objections, so what objections do you have?! If anyone's going to call someone a bastard, it should be me. What do you mean by cutting ties? What are you dissatisfied with?! Are you sick in the head?!"

"Kazuha, calm down!" Sakurajima Mai pulled her boisterous younger sister back and turned to ask, "Can you tell me why you want to break off your relationship with the anti-fan?"

Clearly, she wasn't very calm either.

"Sakurajima-senpai, how can they understand you when you speak Japanese?" Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips, somewhat bewildered and surprised, unable to understand the logic—in terms of being unexpected and making startling remarks, did Haku-kun inherit it from his parents, or did Haku-kun infect his parents?

The son has several girlfriends...wait a minute! If I had several boyfriends, it seems quite possible that my mother would kick me out of the house?

How can this be explained?

If the other person doesn't accept this kind of relationship from the bottom of their heart, what's the point of forcing them to accept it?

What was Bai Jun thinking? Didn't he expect this to happen? Or had his parents become traditional and stubborn after being away from home for several years?

In short, the first thing to do is to stabilize the situation!

Bai Ying will be back in the next couple of days; we'll discuss it then.

Knew it!

The middle-aged couple looked at the translated content and immediately understood.

One person angrily shouted a bunch of things, another asked themselves something, and one refused to accept separation, planning to wait for their son to return for a court confrontation...

Misfortune has struck!

The middle-aged couple couldn't help but recall the day their son left home for a long journey, when he, a little kid, gave them earnest advice.

'From now on, don't say I'm your parent, and I will never see you again—if anyone asks in the future, don't say my name. If this causes trouble, just sever ties; don't say I'm your son.'

Poor son, cutting it didn't work! They've even come to our house!

bang bang bang...

As the middle-aged couple exchanged glances, they heard a knock on the door, and their hearts leaped into their throats.

Could it be that at this critical moment, that kid suddenly came back?!

"I'll go open the door!" ×2!

The couple got up at the same time, rushed to the door, and reached out to open it.

Fortunately, it wasn't his unfortunate son outside the door.

The problem was that there was a beautiful and mature young woman outside the door.

The other person glanced at it, then smiled and showed off a piece of paper with Chinese characters printed on it.

【Hello, I'm Bai Ying's girlfriend. Are you his parents?】

【Yes】

【no】

Chapter 112 Talking Like a Chicken and a Duck

Yes or no, that is a serious question.

"Do you recognize him? There are already three at home, and now another one has come. Are there more to come? Is that kid planning to make a Big Dipper?"

The middle-aged man asked his wife with a smile.

"They've come knocking on our door, how can we possibly hide?"

The middle-aged woman replied with a smile.

The two nodded enthusiastically to Yukino under the snow.

Is this reaction correct?

Yukinoshita blinked, carrying some things in one hand, and pulled out a notebook with the other, flipping to a page: [Hello Mom and Dad, my name is Yukinoshita.]

"Hello……"

The couple had become immune to being suddenly recognized as the father and mother of the deceased, but something still felt off...

Do you know Yukino Yukinoshita?

A middle-aged woman showed her phone screen.

Upon hearing this, Yukino quickly flipped through several pages for the couple.

Yukino Yukinoshita and I are sisters.

【I had planned to come to China to visit you with them, but they were in such a hurry that they left before me.】

"?!"

The middle-aged woman's eyes twitched: "Sister?! Erbai is a scumbag and he's even taking advantage of the whole family?!"

"Calm down!" the middle-aged man said calmly, with the air of a general. "This is a good thing! It means our enemies are still three, not four!"

"Are you sure?" the middle-aged woman said, glancing sideways. "The level of hatred has clearly gone from demanding compensation to wanting to wipe out the entire family, hasn't it?"

"Yes, yes, the more enemies they have, the more likely they are to fight each other to see who is worthy of revenge... On the bright side, at least their parents didn't come to block the door, so there's still a chance to negotiate!"

The couple convinced themselves to calm down and, with forced smiles, welcomed Yukinoshita into their home.

As soon as Yukino Yukinoshita entered the living room, she saw the three guys who had slipped away earlier sitting on the sofa whispering to each other, looking like they were discussing some important issue.

"Yo~ You three who ran away, I've finally caught up with you."

Yukino Yukinoshita looked up, her expression somewhat hesitant, and asked, "Sister, did you conspire with Haku-kun to get us to come and meet Haku-kun's parents?"

"Huh? So this is why you bully Haruno? Who came up with this conspiracy theory?" Haruno Yukinoshita immediately put on a sad expression, wiping away imaginary tears. "It's clearly because you're all so scheming. Even if Haruno didn't say anything, she probably wanted to meet those bastard parents and try to gain their favor, so she just needed a reason—and as soon as I mentioned it, you all jumped on the bandwagon. After you were done, you suppressed Haruno. You really know how to bully people..."

Yukino Yukinoshita coughed lightly: "Who told you that what you said earlier sounded so much like Haku-kun? And you have a history of such things, but that's not the point. The most important thing right now is how to convince Haku-kun's parents."

"Them?" Yukinoshita Haruno subconsciously glanced back. Her parents, the scoundrels, were sitting on the other sofa, seemingly exchanging a few words. When they saw her looking at them, they immediately sat up straight and gave her a friendly smile. "They seem to be alright, right?"

"They were quite polite and welcoming to us, but... after we told them about our relationship with Bai Jun, they seemed unable to accept it and made it clear that they wanted to sever all ties with Hei Fen Jun."

Sakurajima Mai said with a headache.

Feng Bin and Hua Guai asked, "Are we helping a bastard who has no parents?"

"In any case, we need to find a way to persuade them." Yukino Yukinoshita took a deep breath. "Sister, do you have any ideas?"

"I have a feeling you've misunderstood something, haven't you?"

Yukinoshita Haruno points out the key issue: "Since there's a language barrier, it's easy for people to talk to themselves. I'll go and find out what's going on first."

On the other end, a middle-aged couple were talking in hushed tones.

"This scene... ugh, I'm starting to get a headache. Thank goodness that kid didn't come back, or what would have happened?"

"I never expected to see a palace intrigue scene at home, with open and covert struggles, fake smiles one moment and fake tears the next. The seemingly normal conversations are full of sarcasm, and there are even two sisters involved... It's quite exciting."

"Exciting? Watch less palace dramas. We're the emperor, or rather, we're the eunuchs and maids in the palace intrigue. It's a constant state of anxiety. If we accidentally set off a bomb, we can expect the whole family to be waiting for us at the door tomorrow!"

"What do we do now? They don't accept the statement of separation."

"That's not all! They also said that the kid will be back in a couple of days... By then, I'm afraid everything will be over."

Oh no! My son's troubles are at our doorstep!

The middle-aged couple were whispering amongst themselves, not looking too optimistic, when Yukinoshita Haruno came over with a smile and reached into the large bag she was carrying to take things out.

The set of cigarettes, tea, and alcohol is packaged in Japanese and looks exceptionally exquisite, clearly very...expensive!

[Mom and Dad, this is a gift for you. Please accept it.]

Do debt collectors give you gifts before they come to your door?

This girl is probably trying to be polite first, then resort to force!

Once you accept the gift, you'll have to pay off the debt, right?

The middle-aged man quickly typed a translation: 【We can't accept this gift! I don't smoke, drink, or drink tea!】

"?" Yukino Yukinoshita read a resolute meaning between the lines and from the other person's expression. It seemed that the sentence structure she had written down in her notebook could not be used to respond, and she had to rely on translation software.

You can give the gift to someone else; I've heard that foreign goods have more prestige.

Middle-aged man: Dignity? Huh? Does it mean face?

You can give it to Bai Ying. We have nothing to do with him, so you don't need to give it to us.

Yukino Yukinoshita: So strongly opposed? A stubborn, traditional Chinese parent? Or are you worried about the trouble our relationship will cause?

Our parents approve of our relationship with Bai Ying.
