"Not bad, I guess. She's one of the few students who still keeps in touch with me after graduation," Hiratsuka Shizuka replied.
Unless there are special circumstances, the so-called teacher-student relationship usually only lasts until graduation. Teachers and students who continue to keep in touch after graduation must have a very good relationship.
"So how much do you know about her?" Lin Qianshu continued to ask, trying to learn more about Yukinoshita Haruno from Hiratsuka Shizuka.
If you were to ask Yukino Yukinoshita herself about these things directly, you would most likely get a carefully crafted answer. It wouldn't be a lie, but rather a selective truth.
This is roughly what is meant by the art of language.
"Are you the kind of guy who likes older sister types?" Hiratsuka Shizuka teased.
"No, I'm just curious."
"Curiosity is often the beginning of a relationship, young man."
Despite never having been in a relationship, she likes to act as an emotional mentor.
Hiratsuka Shizuka-sensei, you're such a classic!
"That's for women."
"In my opinion, men and women are the same."
"Equalism?"
"You know it very well."
"Of course, so can you tell me about Yang Nai-jie, teacher?"
Lin Qianshu wouldn't let Hiratsuka Shizuka change the subject.
"Such things require the consent of the parties involved, right?" Hiratsuka Shizuka replied casually, gripping the steering wheel.
Did the teacher obtain my consent before introducing me to Sister Yang Nai?
"A real man shouldn't be so petty."
Aren't you an egalitarian?
"I'm actually a borrower."
"Using whatever works well is not called 'borrowing'."
Lin Qianshu reminded him.
So you want to discuss philosophy with me?
"Really can't tell?"
"You should understand the principle of 'pulling up seedlings to help them grow,' right? When it's time to do something, you'll naturally understand."
Hiratsuka Shizuka was being sarcastic, and it seemed unlikely that she would be able to extract any information about Yukinoshita Haruno from her.
"It sounds like something an older person would say."
Lord Lin was petty and, seeing that Hiratsuka Shizuka was unwilling to cooperate, he secretly made a sarcastic remark about her.
"hehe."
Hiratsuka Shizuka sneered. She was driving, and she would let the kid taste the iron fist when they arrived at their destination.
Lin Daren is petty, and so is Professor Hiratsuka!
As if she had thought of something, Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly said, "Anyway, you will definitely have a chance to learn about Haruno later. To be honest, I don't really want you to get involved with her."
Yukino Yukinoshita's problem is so big that even her sister Yukino Yukinoshita's problem is at best a minor one compared to it.
Or rather, the problems of Yukinoshita Haruno are not just her own, but also the problems of the entire Yukinoshita family, and such problems are clearly not something that an outsider like Lin Qianshu can solve.
"I knew you cared about me, teacher. You'll always be young and beautiful!" Lin Qianshu showered everyone with compliments.
Hiratsuka Shizuka remained unmoved, because they were almost at their destination. Lin Qianshu, unaware of his youth, knew he was about to suffer a great deal.
Soon the car arrived at the gate of Zongwu High School. It was noon, and just before reaching their destination, the people on the car woke up one after another without anyone reminding them. It was quite amazing!
Of course, there are also those who are not fully awake.
"Hachiman, wake up, we've arrived at the station?" Totsuka Saika gently nudged the sleeping Hachiman.
Lin Qianshu felt that this was too slow to be effective, so he simply whispered in his ear, "Dazhi is here."
Hikigaya:! ! !
Almost instantly, as if by conditioned reflex, Hachiman scanned the surrounding area with his dead fish eyes, looking at all the suspicious 'Taishi'.
What a joke! He had no ambition at all; he was just scaring himself.
"Brother, how are we going to get back later?" Komachi, who was in the front row, turned around and asked.
"Let's take the Keiyo Line and then transfer to a bus. We can buy something on the way back," Hikigaya suggested without hesitation.
"I remember that Chiki-nii and Yukino-neechan are on the same route, right? Do you want to go together?" Komachi asked.
Lin Qianshu smiled and said, "No need, I'm not going home later, someone will come to pick me up."
"What about Yukino-neechan?"
Still a little groggy from just waking up, Yukino Yukinoshita heard someone call her name. After a moment's thought, she said, "Then let's ride together..."
Before the words were finished, a black luxury sedan pulled up in front of them.
Soon a middle-aged man got out of the driver's seat, bowed to the group, and then opened the car door for the people in the back seat.
Then a beautifully dressed figure stepped out of the car; it was Yukinoshita.
"Hi~~~ Yukino!"
“Sister…” Yukino Yukinoshita did not expect Haruno to come.
Yuihama, who was standing to the side, was seeing Yukinoshita Haruno for the first time and let out a soft, puzzled exclamation.
"Is this Yukino's...older sister?"
"They do look quite alike, both are very beautiful."
As the group whispered among themselves, Haruno walked up to Yukino and said reproachfully, "I told you to remember to come home during summer vacation, but you just wouldn't come back, so I had to come and pick you up myself."
"..." Yukino Yukinoshita remained silent.
At this moment, Yang Nai also noticed Lin Qianshu standing to the side and greeted him, saying, "Ah, Qianshu-kun is here too. I'm sorry, although you and my Yukino are neighbors living in the same building, I'm taking Yukino to my hometown later, so I can't give you a ride. Of course, if you want to come along, that's fine too; there are quite a few empty houses in my hometown..."
“He has his own things to do.” Yukino Yukinoshita interrupted Haruno somewhat abruptly.
"I see... Well then, I'll have to invite you to my home another time." Yang Nai's tone was tinged with regret, as if she had genuinely considered taking Lin Qianshu back to her hometown.
“There will always be opportunities in the future, Yang Nai-jie,” Lin Qianshu replied with a smile, not being polite at all.
The conversation between the two obviously attracted the attention of others present. It turned out that Lin Qianshu and Yukino were neighbors living on different floors.
And Yukino's older sister is quite close to Hayashi Chiki...
Hmm, it feels like I've found out something incredible.
Komachi nudged her brother's waist with her elbow and whispered, "Is Chiki dating Yukino?"
Even if you ask me, I don't know.
It's hard to say for sure, but if Yukinoshita were to date anyone, it would only be Hayashi Chiki, right?
These two are always so lovey-dovey!
"That's enough for now, Shizuka. I'll take Yukino with me now." Yukinoshita Haruno waved to Hiratsuka Shizuka.
"I told you not to call me that." Hiratsuka Shizuka snorted, then added, "Okay, be careful on the road."
Then she reminded the others present, "We are still in the training period before we go home, so please be careful on your way back."
Yukino eventually got into the car with Haruno. Through the car window, you could vaguely see Haruno sitting in the back seat, looking like a cold doll. Haruno next to her still had the smile she had shown in front of everyone, but combined with Yukino's expression, it made people feel a little depressed.
Seeing this, Lin Qianshu didn't say much. Not long after the Xue sisters left, the car that was supposed to pick him up arrived.
The person who picked him up was still Uncle Li, but instead of the Phantom he had arrived in, he was driving a Maybach. It was obvious that the windows had been thickened, as it was a specially customized bulletproof model.
After getting out of the car, Uncle Li became unusually serious, meticulously fulfilling his duties as driver. He greeted Lin Qianshu, closed the car door, politely bid farewell to everyone present, and then drove away at a leisurely pace.
The Hikigaya siblings and Totsuka Saika were left looking at each other, completely bewildered. Everyone seemed to be very capable.
Yuihama frowned as if she was thinking about something, then suddenly clenched her fist, drawing everyone's attention.
Just when everyone thought she was about to offer some insightful opinion, they heard Yui Hama say, "This isn't the car he rode in when he arrived!"
Hikigaya siblings, Totsuka Ayaka:...
Chapter 136 Fishing: The most important thing is patience.
As the vehicle traveled on the elevated road, Lin Qianshu, sitting in the back seat, looked out the window at the scenery rushing past, thinking how fortunate it was that it was midday and not a rainy night.
Otherwise, a rainy night, an overpass, and a Maybach would be all the elements you need.
Sigh, that's why Lin Qianshu doesn't buy a Maybach; it's too easy to get confused.
The destination of this trip is a private residence in Minato Ward, Tokyo, where Lin Qianshu will meet with the current head of the Lin Group, who is also Lin Qianshu's great-grandfather.
In her original memory, Lin Qianshu did not have a deep impression of her great-grandfather. Although she would see him once a year when she was a child, he would usually leave after giving her a red envelope. Apart from saying some auspicious words, they hardly ever had a serious conversation.
All I remember is that the red envelope the grandfather gave me was quite thick and heavy in my hand.
Although in the end the items were kept by his mother in her name, he at least had them for a short period of time.
This meeting should be considered the first time Lin Qianshu has formally communicated with this elder in his family since he came of age.
"Uncle Li, what kind of person is the old man?"
The journey from Chiba to Tokyo is about 60 or 70 kilometers, and it takes more than an hour by car. Naturally, one cannot be idle during the journey, so Lin Qianshu thought of learning about Uncle Lin's personality from Uncle Li in order to prepare for the conversation that followed.
“Chairman Lin… is an interesting person,” Uncle Li replied after thinking for a moment.
"An interesting person?" Lin Qianshu was taken aback. He had thought of many answers, but he never expected the other party to say this.
Interesting? How so?
“Speaking of which, Young Master Qianshu, you are quite similar to Chairman Lin in many ways,” Uncle Li said, glancing at Lin Qianshu in the rearview mirror as he gripped the steering wheel.
Both in appearance and personality, the grandfather and grandson are very similar. In fact, Uncle Li felt that Lin Qianshu, the grand-nephew, was more like the other party's own grandson than Lin Dong's other grandsons.
"Does Uncle Li mean that my great-grandfather looks like me?"
“You look like your great-grandfather,” Uncle Li corrected.
Grandpa acts like a grandson; you're going against the natural order, kid.
"Doesn't saying that make him sound young?" Lin Qianshu said filially.
Uncle Li: ...
I want to laugh, but I can't.
Having finally managed to suppress his smile and keep his hard-won job, Uncle Li said, "You really aren't nervous at all."
"What's there to be nervous about? Is Grandpa going to eat me?"
"He can make you pay back the money."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qianshu's expression turned serious, and he said, "Then we should indeed be a little more nervous."
Money... Lin Qianshu definitely doesn't have any right now. As the saying goes, even a hero can be brought down by a penny. Even if Lin Qianshu can generate electricity now, he still can't conjure up money, let alone such a large sum of money.
You couldn't rob that much even if you robbed a bank.
"Is there anything we should be careful about after we meet?" After Uncle Li's reminder, Lin Qianshu felt that he should at least show some respect to his sugar daddy.
"Be careful not to make jokes like that," Uncle Li said irritably.
"Of course! I'm not stupid. What else could it be?"
No one would joke around with elders on their first meeting; you have to wait until you're more familiar with them!
"Besides that..." Uncle Li thought for a moment and then said, "There shouldn't be anything else."
After all, Chairman Lin has always been very tolerant of talented people, not to mention that Lin Qianshu is his grand-nephew.
An hour's drive passed in a flash, and we finally arrived at our destination—a Japanese-style luxury villa covering more than 2,000 square meters. Although it's called a villa, it's actually about the size of an estate, with the building area taking up less than a third of the total area, and the rest being almost entirely courtyard landscaping.
Given its location in the heart of Tokyo's Minato Ward, its price should be quite attractive.
After verifying his identity, Uncle Li drove the car directly to the villa's entrance.
