In the third year of high school, I exchanged bodies with Yukinoshita

The two of them sat in the back of the taxi. Zuo Yu said proudly, "That's right. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to this world."

Zuo Yu's mother looked at him helplessly. Zuo Yu was particularly happy when Yukinoshita Yukino was mentioned. Although his appearance remained unchanged, he already had a beloved girl in his heart. "You often tease her like I do, don't you?"

"It's okay, just kidding. After all, mom, aren't you the same? Watching Yukinoshita Yukino talk about such private things with a serious face. It's interesting, isn't it? Watching serious people talk about inappropriate things for serious reasons."

"As expected of my son. Yukinoshita Yukino is indeed a serious person and a very interesting person. However, from what I heard you say... isn't her mother a little bit not so good?"

"It's not my place to judge other people's family affairs. But from my experience of swapping bodies with her, her mother is indeed a bit hard to describe. She puts a lot of pressure on Yukino."

"Yeah, as expected. This would explain the restraint she felt when she first saw me. It was something she developed since she was a child."

Zuo Yu asked, "Speaking of which, Mom, why didn't you bring Yukinoshita Yukino with you when you went to meet her mother this afternoon?"

He couldn't quite understand his mother's behavior. They were supposed to meet Yukinoshita's mother, but she hadn't brought her along. He and Yukinoshita had already been approved by her mother, but she hadn't brought her along.

Zuo Yu's mother asked in return: "Don't you have an answer to this question in your heart?"

"Yes. I thought you were playing a big game. First, you met Yukinoshita Yukino's mother under the pretext of cooperation, and then introduced me to her. Then you hinted to her that I liked one of her two daughters, and if you wanted to continue the cooperation, you would need to..."

"That's good, and then what?"

"Then, after you give the hint, it depends on how Yukinoshita Yukino's mother reacts. If she insists on sending her daughter over..."

Zuo Yu's mother took over the conversation, "Would you accept it? I heard that Xue No has an older sister. Are you interested in sisters? One is the one you fought for, and the other was given to you by her mother."

Zuo Yu felt a little headache and looked at his mother beside him. She started to act naughty again.

"I think you didn't do a good job this time. You could have relied on Yukinoshita Yukino's guilt to have more girls. But in the end, you only chose her. I think it would be a good idea for you to take her sister in. After all, it would be difficult for her to show her aggressiveness to her family."

"Would you agree with Dad finding a second woman?"

Hearing Zuo Yu using his father as an example, Zuo Yu's mother stopped joking and said, "Of course not, it was just a joke. I naturally know that you are devoted to Yukinoshita Yukino."

Zuo Yu sighed helplessly. Fortunately, Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't hear the nonsense his mother said just now. Otherwise, with Yukinoshita Yukino's serious personality, she might really take her mother's joking words seriously.

"So, Mom, your purpose is to investigate Yukinoshita Yukino's mother."

"Yes, her daughter has already been recognized by me, so naturally I have to test her. I really want to know whether Mrs. Yukinoshita, who has been setting questions for people all her life, will fall into the trap?" When Zuo Yu's mother said this, she showed the same expression that Zuo Yu usually showed when he was scheming against others.

Zuo Yu looked at his mother, who was smiling beside him. What if his mother's plan damaged the relationship between Yukinoshita Yukino and her mother? He asked with a headache, "What is the purpose of the investigation?"

"It's simple. Decide what you'll address her based on the results of the investigation. Whether you'll address her as Mrs. Yukinoshita, Aunt Yukinoshita, or even Mother Yukinoshita depends on how she treats her daughter."

At this point, Zuo Yu's mother's tone was obviously a little cold. "If she is really a mother who would force her daughter to marry a man she doesn't like at all for the benefit of the family, then she is not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath with me... Naturally, you don't have to call her mother."

Zuo Yu's mother thought of Yukinoshita Yukino, whose performance had just pleased her. Yukino's performance just now was also in line with Zuo Yu's mother's appetite. She valued family. Everything in the family should be for the family members, and no one in the family should be harmed for the sake of the family's interests. If Yukinoshita Yukino's mother was not someone she liked, there would only be interests between the two families in the future, no feelings.

"If she really only sees the relationship between you and Yukinoshita Yukino as a marriage between the two families, then you can just call her Madam Yukinoshita. In her eyes, the relationship between you and Yukinoshita Yukino is just a transaction anyway."

Chapter 183 Reluctantly

Yukinoshita Haruno sat upright on a chair in the restaurant, looking at her mother, who was wearing a kimono, with a serious expression.

She and her mother were waiting for the arrival of the distinguished guest her mother had mentioned.

She remembered what her mother had just said to her, that the guests she was receiving today were very important, and she had to perform well and not bring shame to the Yukinoshita family.

Well, my mother just said that today’s meeting is just a private meeting and it won’t be discussed in public. It’s just a meeting between families.

This reminded Yukinoshita Haruno of the time she and her sister hosted the Kurohime family during the summer vacation. It was the same back then. Under the guise of a family gathering, they engaged in an exchange of interests between families.

Moreover, her mother's words just now made Yukinoshita Haruno feel that this meeting was no different from the last meeting with the Kurohime family.

"Actually, there's no exchange of interests between her family and ours; it's more like a one-sided charity. The terms of the deal she proposed are simple: she simply hopes that our Yukinoshita family can provide some assistance to her son's studies here."

Yes, this made Yukinoshita Haruno feel that this was somewhat similar to the deal that the Kurohime family requested last time. Both were for the sake of their own children. They came to say hello to the local Yukinoshita family, hoping to provide some help to their children.

What's more, what's different this time from the time with Kurohime Yuto is...

The one who came this time was a boy, who was said to be the same age as Yukinoshita Yukino. Moreover, her mother had arranged that boy into Yukino's class, which made Yukinoshita Haruno very worried.

Last time, it was her mother who specifically asked Yukinoshita Yukino to attend the family gathering with the Kurohime family. This time, her mother didn't let Yukino attend...

Could it be that what Yukino said before we went to Kurohime's family gathering last time is going to come true...

Yukinoshita Haruno felt a bit overwhelmed at the thought. Last time, when Kurohime Yuto had just arrived, she had joked about it, saying that Kurohime Yuto was a boy and her mother was willing to let Yukino get along well with him. Now a boy had really arrived... and he was going to be in the same class as her sister. Could it be true this time?

Yukinoshita Haruno thought carefully and realized that her sister had been disobeying their mother's orders too much recently. First, she refused to attend the family's New Year's shrine, and then she celebrated her birthday with her classmates...

She always felt that her sister's value in her mother's eyes was very low. After all, her mother no longer forced Yukinoshita Yukino to participate in family affairs. Maybe her mother just wanted to let Yukinoshita Yukino play her last role.

After all, my sister is so cute, it is very reasonable for her to be arranged into a marriage.

But...my sister already has a lover.

Thinking of this, Yukinoshita Haruno's head hurt even more. She just didn't know what the family conditions of her sister's lover were like. Could they compete with the people who came this time...

Otherwise, I should take the blame for my sister. After all, my sister is capable now, but she is still in her rebellious phase and doesn't listen to her mother. If my mother threatens her future happiness...

Maybe your sister will make compromises in order to be with the one she loves.

Yukinoshita Haruno thought about this and realized that her main task today was to identify the character of the boy who came today...

The boy who is coming today seems to be named Zuo Yu...

The room was still silent. Yukinoshita Haruno was getting a little impatient waiting for Zuo Yu's arrival, but because her mother was still beside her, she couldn't get angry. She could only sit there.

There was suddenly a sound in the originally quiet private room, and the sliding door of the room was suddenly opened by a woman in a kimono. Yukinoshita Haruno couldn't wait to look outside the door.

Yukinoshita Haruno only needed to glance at the clothes worn by the woman in the kimono and saw no fewer than three luxury brands, not to mention the other accessories she was wearing. The tall boy standing next to her was also wearing a wardrobe full of luxury goods, with decent clothes and a handsome appearance. Yukinoshita Haruno had always considered herself not to be obsessed with looks, but when she saw Zuo Yu, she felt that being with him wouldn't be a disadvantage.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. There was some traffic on the road, so I arrived quite late."

Zuo Yu's mother spoke Neon language fluently and performed a traditional art - private Marseille - to Yukinoshita Yukino's mother.

The reason she was late was not because of the traffic jam, but because she went shopping with Zuo Yu to buy clothes to wear here.

"The snow is still melting recently, so the road conditions are indeed not very good. I understand that."

Mrs. Yukinoshita expressed her understanding kindly.

Although she still had doubts in her heart, she did not dare to ask the questions in her heart when facing the Zuo family, which was not in the same league as her family.

She asked tentatively, "You must be very hungry after being stuck in traffic for so long. How about serving the food now?"

Zuo Yu's mother nodded to indicate that the food could be served.

Mrs. Yukinoshita then instructed the maid who had just opened the door to tell her that the food could be served.

"Let me introduce myself first. I'm from the Yukinoshita family. This is my eldest daughter, Yukinoshita Haruno, who is currently attending university."

"I'm from the Zuo family, and this is my son, Zuo Yu, who's in high school now. I'm really sorry to bother you with my son's schooling here a while ago."

"That's not a big deal, just a simple favor. Your Zuo family has given us a lot of overseas business... Thank you for your consideration."

"This is as it should be. We will have opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Listening to Zuo Yu's mother's words, Mrs. Yukinoshita knew that the purpose of tonight had been achieved, and there would be opportunities for cooperation in the future. Just having these words was enough. Mrs. Yukinoshita looked at the food that was gradually being served, and knew that there was no need to talk about business matters anymore, so she used the child as an excuse, "The child is still here, so let's not talk about business matters. Let's eat first."

"Yes, business matters are too boring."

Zuo Yu watched as his mother simply chatted with Yukinoshita Yukino's mother about cooperation, and then stopped talking about business matters and started talking about the most common topics between women...family and children.

"Speaking of this child of mine, he's really a bit worrying. He slept with a girl a while ago..."

Zuo Yu listened to his mother pretending to be drunk and slandering him, thinking to himself, Mom, this is how you talk to your son.

He remembered what they had said when they were buying clothes in the mall.

Zuo Yu's mother wants Zuo Yu to act like a rich second-generation who is uneducated and always likes to hang out with women... The purpose is to make Yukinoshita Haruno and Mrs. Yukinoshita dislike her, so as to test whether Mrs. Yukinoshita is really the kind of person who only cares about the interests of the family and does not care about the feelings of her family.

Zuo Yu looked at Yukinoshita Haruno's expression, which was initially one of appreciation, but later turned into an expression of looking at him as if he were a scumbag.

Well, the fact that Yukinoshita Yukino had never told her sister her name came into play at this moment. Also, the girl your mother just mentioned is your sister. If Yukinoshita Haruno knew this, what expression would she show...

Zuo Yu also got into his mother's rhythm. He was already looking forward to what expression Yukinoshita Haruno would show when she knew that he was Yukinoshita Yukino's lover.

The scumbag expression on Yukinoshita Haruno's face only lasted for a moment. After he turned his gaze to Yukinoshita Haruno, Yukinoshita Haruno still showed her signature fake smile.

It seems that Yukinoshita Haruno is already prepared to do the hard work and sacrifice herself for her sister's happiness... What a noble sister.

But, your sister's happiness is me, so your sacrifice is a bit... unnecessary.

However, there is a more interesting way to play this...

After Yukinoshita Haruno smiled at Zuo Yu, who had been staring at her, her opinion of him could no longer be lowered. She had completely classified Zuo Yu as the type of person who absolutely could not be allowed to be known by her sister, a person who looked good on the outside but was actually rotten on the inside.

It seems that this boy only has a good appearance, but his heart is filthy. He has already slept with a girl at this age. He is really impure.

It’s a pity that he has such a handsome face, but maybe it’s because of this handsome face that he can easily trick girls into bed.

I don’t know if that undisciplined and self-deprecating girl was deceived by his sweet words and sent herself away.

"You must be Yukinoshita Haruno, right? Nice to meet you. I'm Zuo Yu, and I'm going to Sobu High School soon." Zuo Yu took a glass of wine and took the initiative to talk to Yukinoshita Haruno.

"I am. However, Zuo Yu, you are still underage, right? You shouldn't be able to drink yet."

Zuo Yu drank it all in one gulp, pretending to be dazed. "It's okay. The laws here don't apply to me. Speaking of which, when your mother introduced you just now, she said you were her eldest daughter. Do you have any younger sisters?"

This guy has turned his attention to my younger sister?

"Yes, I have a younger sister. And she will be in the same class with you."

"I have a younger sister..." Zuo Yu muttered a few words. "I'm an only child, and I've never known how sisters get along. I've heard that the relationship between sisters isn't as beautiful as described in some works. I want to hear your opinion as a real younger sister. Do you have a good relationship with your sisters?"

"very good."

"Then can I call you Sister Yang Nai? You see, the relationship between you and your sister is maintained entirely by the gentle and kind Sister Yang Nai. Your sister actually didn't even attend such an important family gathering. She must be a very willful person. She enjoys the beauty of her student days alone, only coveting the convenience brought to her by the family, but not thinking about contributing to the family."

Yukinoshita Haruno always liked to be called Sister Haruno by people younger than her, but this was the first time she was called Sister Haruno by someone. As she listened to Zuo Yu praising her and belittling her sister, she realized that Zuo Yu's ability to win over girls was definitely not just due to his good looks, but also because of his mouth.

If it were an ordinary girl, she would have been fooled by Zuo Yu's words.

A typical older sister would definitely be dissatisfied with her younger sister for not attending such an event. Furthermore, Zuo Yu's words would easily make her think that this boy understood her. It was just a pity that she was a sister-con.

Yukinoshita Haruno does not feel resentful because her sister did not participate. Instead, she is very glad that her sister did not come to participate.

Your tactics may work on ordinary girls, but they don't work on me.

But even if he saw through it, he still had to pretend to be fooled. "Sure, then I can call you brother Zuo Yu too."

"Of course, then let's drink to the building of our brother-sister relationship!"

Zuo Yu raised his glass, and Yukinoshita Haruno was forced to raise his glass as well.

Zuo Yu was still playing the role of a rich kid who was good at flirting. Well, actually, he was somewhat true to himself. "I've always wanted a gentle older sister. Some people around me like those arrogant and willful girls. I'm different from them. I've always liked gentle older sisters. Now I finally see the image of my ideal older sister. I'm very happy... Sister Yang Nai, shall we have another drink?"

Yukinoshita Haruno listened to Zuo Yu's straightforward and seductive words, especially when Zuo Yu called her "Sister Yang Nai". Yukinoshita Haruno was moved for a moment by Zuo Yu's "Sister Yang Nai". How could this guy's voice be so beautiful when calling someone "Sister". No one would give themselves away just because of a few words of his, right?

Yukinoshita Haruno forced herself to calm down. For her sister's sake, she began to analyze the information revealed in Zuo Yu's words. Zuo Yu liked gentle older sisters and disliked overbearing and willful girls. So she had to describe her sister as a willful person...

Yukinoshita Haruno watched Zuo Yu skillfully pour wine into his glass, thinking that this guy must have done a lot of things like this, getting girls drunk and then...

But now she couldn't let Zuo Yu continue to pour wine for her. Yukinoshita Haruno was a little afraid that she would drink too much. She had always been very confident in her alcohol tolerance, but seeing Zuo Yu and his mother drinking like water...

She was afraid.

"Speaking of which, Brother Zuo Yu, your Neon language is very good. How did you learn it?"

"Well...it's because of the special industries here."

"Is it anime or games or something like that? I like those things too, sis."

"No, it's like drinking. It's a specialty that can only be enjoyed after you become an adult."

Yukinoshita Haruno met Zuo Yu's half-smiley gaze and became more resolute in her decision. She absolutely could not allow Zuo Yu to have too much contact with her sister.

Chapter 184 Role reversal

"Mom, do we really have to go to this extent?"

Zuo Yu sat in the hotel looking at his mother who was no longer pretending to be drunk, and was dissatisfied with his mother's behavior today.

It's somewhat damaging to his reputation.

"What's wrong? I think I'm doing alright. Hasn't I already established an unpleasant image?"

"But there's no need to be late on purpose and then wear designer clothes. Wouldn't that make us completely uneducated nouveau riche?"

"I think it's just right... Don't you think your character is very suitable for this kind of uneducated upstart... changing women every day and so on."
