Hikigaya, the Son-in-law of Three Surnames

Although compared with this luxurious dress, the material of the earrings looks cheap and is not a famous brand.

It was just a token of love given to her by the boy, and it was Saki's most cherished treasure.

In the end, Yukino let go and let Saki invite Hachiman to dance with her. With soft jazz music and slow and harmonious dance steps, Hachiman and Saki once again became the focus of everyone.

Surprise, shock, envy, jealousy, curiosity, gossip... For a moment, the scene of the son-in-law of the Yukinoshita family being pursued by the princess's adopted daughter formed a whirlpool of various emotions at the dinner party. Gradually, everyone who originally had the impression that he was a mad dog at the funeral five years ago began to take Hikigaya Hachiman seriously.

The fact that he had risked his life and fought his way through an election campaign on his own had already attracted the attention of all walks of life in Chiba, but the impression still remained on "someone from the Yukinoshita family" and Hachiman himself was ignored. Everyone thought that the Yukinoshita family was betting on both sides and making suggestions behind the scenes.

But now that the princess and Genji are involved, it’s a different matter.

Cinderella, who had turned into a princess, held Hachiman's hand and looked at the young man, who had no expression on his face and didn't say anything, and she couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

"Are you angry?" she asked softly. She could feel the man's gaze not far away.

"Angry." Hachiman said coldly.

"Woo..." The supermodel who had been able to maintain her cool appearance soon became deflated.

"It's such a shame that I can't enjoy such a beautiful look all to myself. It makes me angry."

Hachiman said angrily, making Saki, who was originally disappointed, feel a little amused.

But soon, Saki's delicate cheeks tightened slightly, and her body gently moved closer to Hachiman, becoming more intimate.

"It's ridiculous, isn't it? I originally said that I wouldn't argue with Yukinoshita-san, and would stay in Tokyo and wait for you, and wouldn't cause you any trouble... But after your highness... foster mother... Raikou's mother told me about this, I agreed without hesitation."

Saki's eyes exuded a strong color. At this point, she was not asking Hachiman to give up anyone and choose her.

"Why can she get everything without any effort? She is the eldest daughter, she makes you fall in love with her, and you protect her in your shell. She doesn't have to do anything, and she gets everything I want."

But she was unwilling to do so. She was unwilling to do so.

"She was the first person you liked, but...I was your first love."

Shahi's eyes were soon filled with mist.

Hachiman accepted her accusation without saying a word, then wiped away her tears.

"It was clearly me who took advantage of you, why are you all acting like you did something wrong?"

He laughed and continued.

"Well, things will become troublesome, but isn't it all what I deserve? I never want to ask you to behave yourself. I hate that we have become that kind of relationship. You go to fight with Yukino, and you ask me whether you want Yukino or me. It does make me feel troubled, but... I will be very happy because I feel your 'love'."

Love without possessiveness is nothing but self-deception. If they quarrel and cry for him, Hachiman will feel troubled, but he will never think it is wrong.

Isn't it their way of expressing their love for him that they are jealous, twisted, quarreled and cried about themselves?

People often say that others have distorted values, but in fact they themselves are the most distorted.

"You just keep saying these sweet words. Are you sure that I won't fall out with Yukinoshita-san?"

Shahi scolded him coquettishly for his hypocrisy.

"You should say I have a unique vision. You are all good girls."

Hachiman said in a gentle voice, and Saki was furious after hearing it, saying that a good girl was taken advantage of by a pig like you.

Then Shaki slowly calmed down: "Besides, Raikou's mother said that if I do this, it will be good for you."

So, she finally agreed.

The young man's heart was stirred a little. In fact, he had already guessed what Lai Guang's mother was thinking.

Although it was not her intention, she was really thinking about herself wholeheartedly.

The upper-class people who attended the dinner saw him chatting happily with the "princess" and they no longer looked at him as an appendage of the Yukinoshita family, but as an independent individual, with a completely new label.

In the distance, Yukino raised her wine glass and looked at the two people dancing.

Mrs. Yukinoshita walked up to her and also looked at the scene: "Is this really okay?"

she asked.

Xue No felt a little sad: "It just brings everything back to the starting point."

The origin was five years ago. Because of her cowardice, she took advantage of Hachiman's feelings for her and pretended to be decadent and world-weary. In the end, Saki did not let Hachiman make a painful choice, but took the initiative to withdraw.

"So, don't take him away from me, okay?"

At that time, she was lying lifeless on the hospital bed and heard Saki's heart-wrenching cry, but she closed her heart at that time and kept Hachiman with that pitiful appearance.

Although he never mentioned Saki again, Yukino knew that he was still bothered by it.

So she didn't stop Shashi today, this was the cause and effect five years ago.

"Five years ago, even if Kawasaki-san didn't leave on her own initiative, Hachiman-kun would not have gone with her in the end."

Yukino asserted that Saki's voluntary withdrawal had left a knot in both her and him's hearts. In that case, let her see that even if you had not voluntarily withdrawn, Hachiman-kun's choice would not have changed.

Qingxue looked at her daughter: "It would be nice if she could show such narcissism in front of him."

But compared to her younger daughter who was still concerned with her romantic feelings, Qingxue looked at Minamoto no Raikou who was smiling faintly in the distance.

This woman actually had this idea in mind. She pursed her lips. Perhaps in the past she had really paid too much attention to the interests of the Yukinoshita family and took his help for granted. As a result, she had inadvertently overlooked that he was a man who could do great things and should not be constrained by Yukinoshita's past and reputation.

This is a kind reminder, as well as a bad warning.

When the song ended, although some people were eager to try, Shahi had already taken the initiative to step down from the stage and no longer accepted invitations to dance. The meaning was very clear: Cinderella already had someone she liked and would not choose anyone else.

Murasaki Shikibu looked at Yui, whose eyes were filled with admiration, and asked calmly, "Aren't you going up? He's still on the stage."

Yui hesitated for a moment, then shook her head: "Although I envy him, I still prefer to stand under the stage and watch him being the center of attention."

Her words touched Murasaki Shikibu's heartstrings. She lowered her head and looked at the girl: "You and I are... a lot like each other."

But Yui, who was not very smart, tilted her head slightly, not understanding what the female intellectual meant, and the indifferent purple did not try to explain.

Although they said they were on the stage, Hachiman quickly left and came to Minamoto no Raikou, handing her a glass of white wine.

"Will you blame mom for being too nosy?" Minamoto no Raikou said softly, and Zhu Yan's red lips left a faint mark on the wine glass.

"I feel very lucky to have met the Yukinoshita family, Yui, Saki, and Raikou's mother."

Hachiman said with a smile, sincerely, although their origins were different, they were all trying to help him with their own considerations.

Saki and Yukino may still be at the level of personal happiness, but Kiyoyuki and Minamoto no Raikou have already jumped to a broader level to look at this issue.

Yukinoshita Kiyoyuki feels that the family interests of the Yukinoshita family and Hachiman's personal interests are tied together. As long as Yukinoshita becomes more and more prosperous, Hachiman's political career will become smoother.

However, Minamoto no Raikou did not agree, or rather, he did not trust the Yukinoshita family as much as Hachiman did, and the interests of the Yukinoshita family did not fully represent the interests of Hachiman.

Hence the “proxy war” tonight.

Artificially, the label of Hachiman was separated from the Yukinoshita family to a certain extent, and then linked to the Genji and Minamoto no Raikou himself.

In the current situation, in the eyes of Chiba's upper class, he has changed from Hachiman, the son-in-law of the Yukinoshita family, to Hachiman Hikigaya, who is favored by the Yukinoshita family and Princess Genji.

It may even form a completely new crushing power structure in Chiba, a power led by Hachiman that pulls in the political, business and financial power of the aristocratic landlords of the Yukinoshita family and the Shingu family.

It is also a warning to everyone, including the Shinomiya family. At this moment, Hikigaya Hachiman is not some roadside ant that can be crushed to death. So take it easy and don't do any stupid things.

It has been so long that everyone has forgotten the fortune teller's prediction for Minamoto no Raikou: If the noble daughter of Minamoto no Raikou were born a boy, he could become a general if he goes out, and a prime minister if he gets married.

Chapter 73: My Husband Stabbed My Best Friend

Seeing that the princess was chatting happily with Hachiman like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, some people began to make fun of Mrs. Yukinoshita with their eyes.

Although they were somewhat dumbfounded by the drama of "two women competing for a husband", the princess' attitude was undoubtedly beneficial to them.

But before they could be happy for long, Minamoto no Raikou stood in the center of the stage and spoke again.

"There is something I haven't announced to you all yet. Although the address of Chiba Palace has not been determined, after the recommendation of Hachiman-kun, I have decided to let Yukinoshita Construction Company undertake the construction. When Chiba Palace is completed, I hope you will come and visit us."

As a result, she gave a relatively sweet date and slapped him hard. The princess meant that although she favored Hachiman-kun, she had no intention of falling out with the Yukinoshita family. Instead, she handed over all the important construction projects of Chiba Palace to them.

This makes it difficult to guess Minamoto no Raikou's true thoughts. No one understands whether she is an enemy or a friend of the Yukinoshita family, and whether she can become an arm of the opposition.

Precisely because of his fear, he did not dare to make a random move to test the enemy. He used the strategy of combining the normal with the unexpected, and he used the art of warfare to perfection. The princess's ambiguous stance would be even more effective than simply standing on the side of the Yukinoshita family, and it would be more beneficial to Hachiman personally.

Hachiman could only yell "Raikou mom 666".

Originally, he wanted to save Minamoto no Raikou just to make up for his past mistakes, but he unexpectedly obtained an incredibly thick thigh, which gave him more room to move backwards.

This made him sigh inexplicably, it was true that things in this world were unpredictable.

When he returned to the stage, he saw Yui standing there, pouting, as if she was sour about what happened when he danced with Saki just now.

"Shahi Shahi looks very beautiful tonight."

"Our Yui Yui is not bad either, look at her, such a bear, such a figure, such a peach."

Suddenly his mouth seemed to be smeared with honey, and he said with a smile.

Yui glared at him and said, "You playboy, Xiaoxue was so angry that she ran away~"

"Ya Bai, mother, your daughter ran away. Why aren't you nervous at all? Go find her quickly."

Hachiman pretended to be anxious and looked around as if he had really lost his daughter, which made Yui couldn't help but burst out in anger and slapped him several times in hatred.

"Xiaoxue and Shaxishaxi went out together just now. I don't know what they were going to say. Just take it easy."

He couldn't help but hold Yui's hand. She was a little worried about being seen by others, but finally, seeing that he wouldn't let go, she just let him do it.

"I'm a bit later than Shaxi and Xiaoxue, and I know that my man has too many things to let go. But don't make me too sad, or I'll leave by myself."

Yui said cheerfully and openly, and Hachiman looked into her eyes, not joking at all.

Compared to Yukino's character that will eventually lead to self-harm, maybe if he really makes Yui sad one day, she will leave quietly, leaving only a beautiful memory for him.

"Hehehe, you actually want to leave me, Miss Yui, it seems that I haven't teased you enough."

He said with a vicious look on his face.

Yui also pretended to be scared: "Ah...no...I don't want to hensin anymore."

Hachiman was very happy. If he hadn't been unable to resist kissing her forehead fiercely in this situation, only Yui could handle his joke so easily.

After Yui was calmed down a little, he was thinking of going with her to find the remaining two girls, but a loud slap in the face during the dinner drew their attention away.

They only saw Yumiko, the representative of the TV station, slapped Ye Shan hard on the cheek and ran out with tears in her eyes. Ye Shan stood there with his head half lowered, and had no intention of chasing after her.

"Yumiko."

Yui gave Yeshan an unpleasant look, then chased after him. Hachiman hesitated for a moment, but saw Yeshan shaking his head slightly at him, and he understood.

After contacting Yui, I soon found the two of them next to the fountain. Yui was comforting the dazed Miura Yumiko.

To be honest, deep down, he really didn't want to care about the mess between Yeshan and Miura.

Although Yumiko Miura is beautiful, he has never been amazed by her since he saw her in high school. The women around him are already a bit too much for him, and he has no intentions towards Yumiko Miura. He feels awkward for no reason.

But the problem is that his wife is Yumiko's best friend.

"Youmiko, don't scare me. Just cry. I'm worried if you do this."

Seeing that Yumiko was as dazed as a doll with a lost soul, Yui spoke nervously, fearing that she would be unable to get over it.

After all, from high school to college and then to several years in society, how much youth can a woman waste?

Yumiko saw Hachiman coming and her scattered gaze focused a little: "You should know that Hayato is getting married."

"Yes, he even asked me for help in seeking his family's consent. Actually, it was me who facilitated his marriage."

"Xiao Qi!? Why haven't I heard of this?"

Yui was confused. What the hell happened that her husband stabbed her best friend in the back?

"Yui, don't talk. I'm asking Hikigaya now."

But Yumiko stopped Yui with a strong voice and continued to ask.

"What kind of person is the other party?"

So he was just too lazy to watch this kind of nonsense about infatuated men and resentful women, and he still couldn't help but light a cigarette.

"I know what you want to ask. She is not as young or pretty as you, nor does she have a glamorous career and independent skills like you. She is inferior to you in every way, and she even has a daughter who is only a few years old. But is all this important to Ye Shan?"

Just when Yui was about to say something, Yumiko shook her head and asked Hachiman to continue.

"Let me put it bluntly. You can't succeed. You don't know that guy as well as I do. He's just a twisted and intimidating person."

"He used to be devoted to Yukinoshita Haruno, but Haruno is not interested in this anymore. But Ye Shan is not someone who can do without peaches and pears. You are waiting for him to figure it out, which is not a wrong move."

"It's a pity that I'm just unlucky. Ye Shan's new wife was entrusted by his dead comrade. He has a strong sense of responsibility. Giving the mother and daughter a place to rely on and for himself to have a stable family so that he can break his obsession with Yukinoshita Haruno is much more important than spending the rest of his life together."

Even Hachiman couldn't help but feel sorry for the unlucky Miura Yumiko. After waiting for a long time for Hayama to figure things out and no longer be obsessed with his unforgettable crush, his body and mind were once again occupied by responsibilities.
