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

"Then Zuo Yu's family should still give something... I'm already married, so they should give something."

Yukinoshita Haruno saw that her mother had made a 180-degree turn on the issue concerning the Zuo family, from originally being able to cooperate to now having no chance of business cooperation between the two families in the future.

I was a little confused for a moment. How could this happen?

Yukinoshita Haruno was very puzzled by her mother's decision. It was clearly an opportunity for development, so why didn't she seize it?

And if that were the case, and the two families would not have any opportunities for cooperation in the future, Yukinoshita Yukino would naturally not be sent to marry Zuo Yu, and in the end all her efforts in front of Zuo Yu would be in vain.

It seemed that it was not in vain. Yukinoshita Haruno felt a headache when she saw her mother who believed that she and Zuo Yu were true love.

Why did I say that I liked Zuo Yu a few minutes ago? Now, my mother seems to be trying to find a way for her daughter's happiness and wants me to marry Zuo Yu.

This was not unacceptable to Yukinoshita Haruno, as long as Zuo Yu's family offered generous conditions. After all, if she was sent away, the next successor of the Yukinoshita family would only be Yukinoshita Yukino, which was also good news for Yukinoshita Haruno.

However, Yukinoshita Haruno was afraid...that she would be sent away for nothing.

"How could pure love be tainted by the chaotic exchange of interests between families... If you were to ask what they would give, you would receive the true heart of a prodigal son. Isn't there a saying that goes, 'A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold?' If you can truly make Zuo Yu change his mind and focus on you, and receive the true heart of his beloved who has repented, I'm sure you'll be very happy."

Mrs. Yukinoshita felt that she needed to add some more suspense to make Yukinoshita Haruno take the initiative to refuse. "How about this, to facilitate communication between you two. From now on, you and Zuo Yu will live together in the apartment I arranged for him yesterday... That apartment will be considered a gift to Zuo Yu."

How could this be possible? Yukinoshita Haruno watched as her mother not only gave her away for nothing without asking for any benefits in return, but also wanted to give up her family's apartment.

This time, I really lost both the wife and the army...

Moreover, she would be living with Zuo Yu so soon. Although Yukinoshita Haruno was happy that she could live in an apartment next to her sister, she would not be so happy if Zuo Yu was also involved.

If they started living together, she might even run into girls Zuo Yu had played with while she was out buying groceries...

In short, you have to refuse.

Yukinoshita Haruno was forced to go back on her word. She was terrified of disobeying her mother. "Actually... I don't like Zuo Yu that much."

"So why did you act like you wanted to marry him?"

"I actually only have a slight fondness for him. After all, he's quite handsome, and I also think that if I marry him, it might be beneficial to our Yukinoshita family. That's why I acted like that just now."

Yukinoshita Haruno was very cautious when she said these words. She had already prepared herself for a scolding from her mother.

To Yukinoshita Haruno's surprise, her mother didn't seem to be scolding her. She just said weakly, "In that case, let's explain everything to the Zuo family's wife this afternoon. I'll have to prepare a gift of apology."

Yukinoshita Haruno watched her mother leave the living room somewhat dejectedly, walked out of the house and called the driver. She was going to prepare apology gifts for Zuo Yu and the others.

Yukinoshita Haruno couldn't believe how lonely her mother was. In her heart, her mother had never shown such a lonely expression as today, not even when Yukinoshita was isolated in elementary school.

When her mother was disappointed with her sister, she was not as lonely as she is today.

Why is this?

Yukinoshita Haruno sat alone in the living room in a daze. She began to carefully review how she got along with her mother after she came into contact with Zuo Yu.

........

Yukinoshita Yukino followed Zuo Yu to the hotel where Zuo Yu was about to meet her mother.

When Zuo Yu and Xue Nai arrived, Zuo Yu's mother greeted them happily.

"Finally, I thought you were going to keep Yukino in bed all day again today?"

As soon as she came up, Yukinoshita Yukino was frightened by Zuo Yu's mother's fierce greeting. Zuo Yu's mother was still as fierce as ever.

Yukinoshita Yukino could only sigh in her heart that Zuo Yu's mother was really bold. How could a parent greet their son like this right from the start...

"What do you think of your son? I guessed last night that you were going to end this matter today. How could you possibly let Yukino stay in bed? After all, Mom, you must be very unhappy that your plan was used by Yukino's mother to test her daughter. You feel too embarrassed, so you want to end it quickly."

Zuo Yu and his mother started to insult each other right from the start.

One was making fun of his son's behavior the day before yesterday, and the other was making fun of his mother's embarrassing behavior.

What a harmonious mother-son relationship.

Yukinoshita Yukino felt that no matter how many times she saw the interaction between Zuo Yu and his mother, she would be envious. This kind of parent-child relationship between friends really existed.

Zuo Yu's mother was very excited about the upcoming showdown and eager to make some arrangements. "By the way, Xue Nai, don't come out while I'm talking to your mother. When we're done, I'll smash the cup as a signal, and you can come out of the next room."

Zuo Yu mercilessly sabotaged her, "Mom, if you break a cup from someone else's store, you have to pay for it."

"I don't mind the money."

"What if someone says this cup is a relic with a long history?"

"...Forget it then."

Chapter 193 Who are you?

When Yukinoshita Haruno and her mother came to the hotel where Zuo Yu's mother had invited them, she had already figured out one thing, that is, her mother had never wanted her and her sister to marry Zuo Yu from the beginning.

So her mother's behavior the day before yesterday was clear, it was an assessment of herself.

Yukinoshita Haruno looked at her mother walking in front of her and began to worry about her future. She felt that her behavior this time had completely disappointed her mother.

Zuo Yu and his mother stood up to welcome Yukinoshita Haruno and her mother who arrived on time.

"Mrs. Yukinoshita, good afternoon."

"Aunt Yukinoshita, good afternoon. And Sister Haruno, good afternoon."

Yukinoshita Haruno felt a little uncomfortable looking at the very well-behaved Zuo Yu. She still remembered how Zuo Yu had been so uninhibited in front of her mother and his mother the day before yesterday, so why was he so well-behaved today?

Is this the time to pretend to be a good boy?

But it's too late. I will not marry you as you wish.

Zuo Yu only glanced at Yukinoshita Haruno and then kept glancing at a sliding door in the room with the corner of his eye. The place they had booked was quite high-end. There was a reception room next to their dining room. Yukinoshita Yukino was hiding in that room.

The sound insulation between rooms was originally very good, but... there were gaps.

Zuo Yu looked at the tiny gap in the sliding door. It was obvious that Yukinoshita Yukino was in the next room listening to the conversation between Zuo Yu and her mother, so she should be able to see what he was doing through the gap.

No matter what, I have to be honest.

After the two mothers greeted each other, Zuo Yu's mother asked the waiter to serve the dishes.

The few of them were chatting about family matters at the dinner table. Yukinoshita Haruno looked at Zuo Yu, who was sitting next to the noble lady. He was no longer holding the wine glass from the day before, but was drinking juice honestly.

"So, what do you think of these two children, Mrs. Yukinoshita? I think they are a perfect match. They are talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven."

"As for this question...I still need to ask my daughter's opinion. After all, it's her who's getting married, not me."

Mrs. Yukinoshita turned the topic to Yukinoshita Haruno.

Seeing the four people on the field fix their gazes on her, Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly felt a surge of pressure. Putting Zuo Yu's gaze aside, the gazes of the two mothers alone made her feel uneasy. "Actually... I think Zuo Yu has misunderstood my feelings. I do like him, but it's just the kind of love that comes from being a younger brother. Not the kind that makes me want to marry him."

Yukinoshita Haruno felt that the atmosphere suddenly became cold. The heating was on in the store, so why was it so cold? She looked at Zuo Yu and Zuo Yu's mother who were sitting opposite her. It was obviously their cold gaze that made Yukinoshita Haruno feel cold.

"Really? So that's how it is. But..." Zuo Yu's mother looked at Yukinoshita Haruno with an almost materialized cold gaze, "My son told me something yesterday. He said that Sister Haruno bought a double bed with him. And she also wanted to start a family with him. Putting aside my son's somewhat subjective feelings, I want to ask Yukinoshita Haruno, why did you buy a double bed with my son? Is this what a sister should do?"

When Mrs. Yukinoshita heard what Yukinoshita Haruno did yesterday, she finally understood why Zuo Yu and the others suddenly brought up this matter.

Originally, the relationship between the two should have developed gradually, but her behavior yesterday made Yukinoshita Haruno think that she was going to introduce Zuo Yu to Yukinoshita. So Yukinoshita Haruno began to actively flirt with Zuo Yu...

Yukinoshita Haruno was sweating profusely as she pondered how to explain her and Zuo Yu's shared purchase of the bed. She had even hinted to Zuo Yu that the bed was for their future use. How could she explain this? Yukinoshita Haruno met Zuo Yu's mother's oppressive gaze, feeling that if she couldn't explain herself, she might be beheaded.

"Just yesterday morning, I handed Zuo Yu the key to his apartment here on my mother's orders. I was waiting for him downstairs at the hotel where you were staying. I noticed that he didn't come out of the hotel, but took a taxi. So I thought, a sociable man like Zuo Yu must have gone to accompany his confidante here the night before yesterday. I thought of this when we were shopping for furniture together. So I decided to do him a favor. After all, if Zuo Yu was meeting his confidante here, he would probably need the double bed."

Yukinoshita Haruno found a glimmer of hope for herself in the desperate situation. She took advantage of the double bed incident to tell Zuo Yu's mother that Zuo Yu did not rest in the hotel the night before, but went out to fool around.

I believe every mother would blame her child.

What a brilliant way to divert trouble away.

However, Yukinoshita Haruno felt that someone was always looking at her when she spoke.

"You mean Zuo Yu didn't stay at the hotel the night before yesterday? Actually, I knew about this and I agreed with him doing so."

To Yukinoshita Haruno's surprise, Zuo Yu's mother did not reprimand Zuo Yu's behavior. Instead, Yukinoshita Haruno felt approval from Zuo Yu's mother's tone.

Is she just indulging her son like this?

Yukinoshita Haruno and Mrs. Yukinoshita had the same idea.

Zuo Yu's mother's eyes were still cold, piercing Yukinoshita Haruno's body. "It's just that I didn't expect Yukinoshita Haruno, who has a younger sister, to be so considerate. You even prepared a double bed for your younger siblings... I thought you were possessive or something like that."

Listening to Zuo Yu's mother's meaningful words, Yukinoshita Haruno could only nod and admit that she was indeed such a sister.

"Since you think so... Zuo Yu can't throw away the bed as a token of your kindness. But we don't have a stable place to live here, so it wouldn't be appropriate to move the bed around. After all, moving a bed is very troublesome..."

Listening to Zuo Yu's mother's words, Mrs. Yukinoshita realized that the time had come and she immediately joined the battlefield.

"Actually, the apartment I let Yang Nai stay in yesterday wasn't a temporary rental. It was given to you as a gift. This way, you'll have a stable place to live here, and you won't have to move the double bed around anymore."

Mrs. Yukinoshita wisely chose to abandon the apartment to save her daughter. No matter how expensive an apartment is, it is not as important as her daughter's future.

"Is that so? But if that's the case, then the matter between Zuo Yu and Yang Nai is..."

"We were at fault in this matter. It's all my fault for not disciplining my daughter properly, which led to her acting rather frivolously. As a result, you misunderstood me, young master. This is our compensation for you. Also, as punishment, our family will no longer take on any projects recommended by your family."

Mrs. Yukinoshita made things clear right from the start. Her meaning was simple: her daughter didn't want to marry, she didn't want the project, and lowering her attitude meant she was apologizing.

Zuo Yu's mother looked at Mrs. Yukinoshita who had already started performing traditional arts, and did not take the opportunity to express her dissatisfaction or choose to blackmail her.

"Look at what you said. It seems like I introduced your project to you because of your daughter. Even if there is no chance between Zuo Yu and Yang Nai, your Yukinoshita family can still do those projects." Seeing that Mrs. Yukinoshita had revealed her true intentions, Zuo Yu's mother was also ready to reveal her true purpose.

"I remember what I said on the phone earlier was to discuss the relationship between our two children. Look... since your eldest daughter isn't interested in my son, would your youngest be interested in him? What if there's a possibility between them?"

Mrs. Yukinoshita saw that Zuo Yu's mother still chose not to give up, even though she had clearly stated that Yang Nai had no such intentions towards Zuo Yu. Zuo Yu's mother began to set her sights on her little daughter.

Mrs. Yukinoshita has full confidence in her little daughter. How could her overly serious daughter fall in love with such a frivolous man like Zuo Yu?

As long as Yukinoshita Haruno tells Yukinoshita Yukino about Zuo Yu, Yukinoshita Yukino will definitely not be interested in Zuo Yu.

With this in mind, Mrs. Yukinoshita said, "We as parents shouldn't interfere too much in the relationship between children. If my daughter is truly interested in your son, I wouldn't object to their relationship."

"Then...what if Xue No really falls in love with Zuo Yu?"

"If Xueno really likes Zuo Yu, and Zuo Yu also likes Xueno. Since they like each other, there is no reason for us parents to stand in the way. Let them get married."

Mrs. Yukinoshita said it with absolute certainty. She firmly believed that her little daughter would never fall in love with someone like Zuo Yu. Unlike Haruno, Yukinoshita Yukino was not afraid to disobey her orders. She would definitely reject Zuo Yu.

"Is that so? Then things will be easy."

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Zuo Yu's mother was ready to overturn the table.

Just now, she agreed with Mrs. Yukinoshita. Although she thought Mrs. Yukinoshita's education method was a bit too radical, Mrs. Yukinoshita was still a person who valued family affection.

After all, Mrs. Yukinoshita's statement just now was that she gave up the cooperation between the two families and the development of the Yukinoshita family, just to protect her daughter from being bullied by the scumbag.

Between her daughter and her family, Mrs. Yukinoshita ultimately chose her daughter.

This made Zuo Yu's mother very satisfied.

Yukinoshita Haruno and Mrs. Yukinoshita looked at Zuo Yu's mother, who suddenly seemed like a different person, and were a little confused. Why did she look like she was sure that Yukino would fall in love with Zuo Yu?

"Sorry, I lost my composure." Zuo Yu's mother coughed a few times. "Actually, Zuo Yu and I came here to look for Yukinoshita Yukino. After all, my child really likes Yukino."

Mrs. Yukinoshita was still confused. "What did you say? Looking for Yukino?"

Zuo Yu's mother showed a calm expression, took out her mobile phone and found a photo.

It was a scene of a handsome boy and a cute girl wearing couple outfits walking in the snow. The two of them were holding hands and walking on the new snow. The girl in the photo looked at the boy beside her with affectionate eyes, and the happy smile on her face was enough to make the winter sun retreat.

One thing is very obvious, the man and woman in this photo should be a boyfriend and girlfriend, and they are in the period of passionate love.

If you just look at this photo, anyone would offer their most sincere blessings to the couple in this photo, but this does not include Mrs. Yukinoshita and Yukinoshita Haruno who are looking at the photo.

Because the boy in the photo is Zuo Yu, and the girl is Yukinoshita Yukino...

Moreover, Yukinoshita Haruno also saw that the photo displayed on Zuo Yu's mother's mobile phone was sent through Yukinoshita Yukino's chat software.

In fact, when Zuo Yu exchanged bodies with Yukinoshita Yukino, Zuo Yu sent the photo using Yukinoshita's phone. But this time, the matter was different. Yukinoshita Haruno was shocked that her sister would actually send the photo to Zuo Yu's mother, but what shocked her even more was why Zuo Yu had this photo with Yukinoshita Yukino.

Regardless of her mother beside her, and regardless of the pressure that Zuo Yu's mother had once brought to Yukinoshita Haruno, Yukinoshita Haruno subconsciously asked Zuo Yu: "Who... are you?"

Zuo Yu replied in a calm tone, "Sister Yang Nai, you should know about my existence. I am the barcode that sent text messages to Xue Nai, and I am also the foreign boyfriend you guessed."

Mrs. Yukinoshita looked at Zuo Yu and Yukinoshita Haruno in confusion. She didn't quite understand the conversation between the two.

What is a barcode and what is a foreign boyfriend.

How come she, as a mother, doesn't know anything?

Most of her knowledge about Yukino came from Haruno, but Haruno hid these things for Yukino, so naturally, as a mother, she knew nothing.

Mrs. Yukinoshita looked at Yukinoshita Haruno, hoping that Haruno could explain to her, but Haruno did not notice her mother's gaze.

Yukinoshita Haruno is still in a state of chaos.
