Mebel simply raised her eyelids and continued licking her ice cream as if nothing had happened.

Alicia sat bolt upright as if she had been electrocuted.

She frantically straightened her disheveled pajamas, her cheeks instantly turning bright red.

Oh dear, it seems I've come at the wrong time. Have I disturbed your enjoyment?

The woman's voice carried a similar coolness to Yukino's, but with an added touch of playfulness.

Who are you?

Alicia stammered, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes.

I never expected to let people see such a lazy side of myself.

She suddenly realized that she was imitating Mabel's lazy behavior, which was really unlike her!

The woman did not answer immediately, but gracefully took off her high heels and stepped barefoot into the room.

Her gaze swept back and forth between Mebel and Alicia.

Finally, it stopped on the snack wrappers scattered on the coffee table and the melting ice cream.

Sister, please don't scare my roommate.

Yukino's voice came from the corridor.

She had just finished washing clothes, her hands were still wet, and she was wearing a white loungewear outfit with a light blue apron over it.

Yukino's...older sister?

Alicia's eyes widened, her gaze shifting back and forth between the two similar faces.

The person who arrived was Yukino.

Yang chuckled softly.

Suddenly, he reached out and pinched Alicia's flushed cheek.

So cute! Even prettier than in the pictures. I'm Yukinoshita Haruno, the older sister of this aloof little sister.

Her fingertips were cool and carried a faint scent of perfume.

Alicia froze, forgetting even to resist.

What are you doing here? Yukino frowned.

She took off her apron, wiped her hands, and came over.

Moreover, they came without prior notice or announcement.

Yang Nai clutched her chest with an exaggerated expression: "I miss my dear sister, isn't that reason enough?"

That's enough, I don't want to hear your fake jokes.

Yukino answered decisively, her eyes even colder.

Yang Nai's smile also faded slightly.

She glanced at Alicia, who was looking around curiously, and at Mebel, who seemed indifferent, and said softly, "Can we talk alone? It's about my mother."

Yukino's body stiffened visibly for a moment.

She nodded silently and led Yang Nai towards the bedroom. As she closed the door, Alicia heard Yang Nai turn back and say to her, "Turn the air conditioner up a bit, it's bad for your skin!"

That's Yukino's older sister...

Alicia muttered to herself, her fingers unconsciously twirling the ends of her hair.

They look so alike, both are beautiful.

But this woman puts a lot of pressure on me, and it feels like they're not very close?

Mebel finally finished her ice cream and lazily yawned.

Yukino said that their relationship used to be very bad. It only improved after she became Rei's girlfriend.

Eh? ?

Alicia nearly jumped off the sofa.

They are all Ling Qing's...that one?

What's so surprising?

Mebel gave her a strange look: Who in the group isn't like that?

Alicia's face turned red again, this time even the tips of her ears turned pink.

This...this is different...their relationship is...

Mebel rolled her eyes.

This is nothing; there are still wives in the group.

……

P.S.: The picture is Yukino Yukinoshita!

Chapter 711 Yukino, what do you think of our mother? (Seeking monthly votes, reviews, flowers, and favorites!)

In the bedroom.

Yukino sat on the edge of the bed, her fingers unconsciously gripping the sheets.

Yang took a tablet computer out of his bag, pulled up a few photos, and handed them to her.

This is a photo I took secretly.

Lady Yukinoshita is still wearing her signature kimono in the photo.

However, a few stray strands of hair had fallen out of her usually meticulously styled hair bun.

She looked down at the documents.

The dark circles under his eyes couldn't be covered even with foundation, and the tight lines at the corners of his mouth revealed an unprecedented level of fatigue.

Yukino's heart clenched suddenly.

She had never seen her mother look like this before.

That woman, who was always composed and dignified, looked so... vulnerable at that moment.

Starting last month, several companies, along with several foreign companies, launched a comprehensive crackdown on the company owned by Yukishita.

Yang Nai's voice was unusually calm.

Three important projects have been forced to stop, and my mother is handling them all by herself. There is no good way to break the deadlock now.

Why suddenly…

Yukino's voice trembled slightly.

How dare they...

Of course they dare.

Yang sneered: In the eyes of ordinary people, Yukinoshita's family is very big, but looking around, Yukinoshita's family is also very small.

Yukino's fingers sank deep into the sheets.

Yang: My mother doesn't want me to be involved with the Yukinoshita family right now, and she doesn't intend for me to get involved.

Yukino bit her lower lip.

She could imagine the expression on her mother's face when she said those words.

That expression, a mixture of pride and stubbornness, showed that even in the face of dire straits, they refused to bow their heads.

So you came here for…

Yukino looked directly into her sister's eyes.

Yang Nai took a deep breath and made the suggestion that she had carefully considered.

First, I want Ling Qingjun to get involved.

second…

She paused for a moment, her voice becoming unusually soft.

I think Ling Qingjun should take action against her mother, just like she did against Ms. Sayuri and Ms. Ai Sakurajima.

???

Yukino was struck dumb.

She froze on the spot because of Yang Nai's suggestion.

Her first reaction was to reject Yang Nai's outrageous suggestion.

But Yang pressed down on his sister's trembling hand.

Listen to me, Yukino.

First, this ensures the mother's physical and mental safety.

Secondly, you know Ling Qingjun's abilities; he can restore a mother's youth and free her from the cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death.

A hint of vulnerability flashed in Yukino's eyes—a vulnerability Yukino had never seen before.

We...we can finally be a real family. Don't you want to see your mother smile?

Yukino's childhood memories suddenly flashed before her eyes.

My mother's ever-stern and upright back, her resolute refusal to turn back.

If... if there were another possibility...

This is insane…

Yukino murmured, but her tone was no longer firm.

Yang revealed a confident smile.

She knew that when her sister started to hesitate, it meant that her heart had already wavered.

Next up is her ultimate move.

She took out her phone and pulled up a video.

Take a look at this before making a decision.

In the video.

Snow Mother stood alone on the rooftop.

The night wind tousled her long hair.

She gazed at the brightly lit city in the distance, slowly squatted down, and buried her face in her hands.

This was a breakdown she had never shown to outsiders or even her own daughter.

Yukino's iridescent pupils contracted sharply, and a tear of heartache slid uncontrollably down her cheek.

at this time.

Suddenly, a gasp came from the living room.

Ling Qing? What happened to you all of a sudden…

The bedroom door was gently pushed open.

A tall, slender figure leaned against the door frame.

His iridescent eyes, framed by his tousled black hair, gleamed with a mysterious light, and a languid smile played on his lips.

Sorry to interrupt your chat.

Ling Qing's voice was like warm honey.

But I think the person involved should have the right to speak about my case, shouldn't they?
