"Aunt Haruka, I came here suddenly, I haven't said hello to you in advance, I'm sorry." Saionji Akino didn't have much of a surprised expression when he saw Haruka Sakuraba coming out of it.

After all, this is her shop, and it's normal to meet me.

Sakuraba Haruka listened to Saionji Akino's polite, unfamiliar language, and her smile froze slightly.

As I've said before, she doesn't want such a change in Saionji Akino, and it's best to maintain her previous cringe-inducing personality to be better controlled, but now...

However, Haruka Sakuraba is also a person who has experienced so many things, and she still has the confidence to hold him.

"What else do you want to be so polite with me?"

"Come, come with me to the reception room and sit down?"

Haruka Sakuraba stretched out her hand to Saionji Akino, and her smile was extremely gentle.

Saionji Akino nodded, not saving her face.

Anyway, at present, he is still his legal guardian and his rightful stepmother.

Holding Saionji Akino's hand, Sakuraba Haruka could feel the rough calluses on his palms and fingertips, and couldn't help but look at him more by the way.

The current Saionji Akino has handsome facial features, fair skin, bright eyes, and a confident temperament from within.

Is this really his own stepson? What happened in just one week?

"What's wrong? Aunt Haruka? ”

"Ahh It's nothing.,I just think Akino-kun, you've become a lot more handsome.,Sure enough, did you have a girlfriend recently? ”

Saionji Akino chuckled and shook his head, "I just want to make some changes, I just accompanied my friends here to buy some things, and I wanted to come and see you when I passed by here." ”

"Look at me?" Haruka Sakuraba was stunned.

"Well, because you haven't been back lately, I'm a little worried about whether you're overworked."

Sakuraba Haruka was a little dazed for a while, is this really the same person? Why do you say these warm words so naturally? And before he knew it, the dominance of the words went to his side...

Worried about me... Is it serious?

An extraordinarily complicated feeling came to her heart, Sakuraba Haruka smiled reluctantly, and took the opportunity to sell miserably, "Overworked, it's true, after all, you can also see that our business here is not too good." ”

These words came out of the mouth of a ruddy-complexed person with extremely smooth skin, how to listen to it.

But Saionji Akino still comforted her with a smile, "Aunt Haruka, you're just a temporary water reversal, and sooner or later you will have a chance to turn over and counterattack." ”

As he said this, he also took the opportunity to let go of the hand he was holding.

Sakuraba Haruka found the feeling of selling miserably, and while opening the door, she asked the young lady at the front desk to serve tea and snacks, and waited until they were both sitting on the sofa before she continued to talk about the experience of not doing well during this time and running into walls everywhere.

In order to play a more honest feeling, most of what she said was the truth.

When talking about some experiences of being targeted by bad guys, her eyes couldn't help but redden, and she shed a few tears, completely showing the posture of a weak and mature woman.

After listening to this, Akino of Xiyuan Temple naturally comforted her and cooperated with her.

After more than ten minutes, Sakuraba Haruka finished chatting about herself, and after wiping the corners of her eyes with a tissue, she began to care about the situation of Saionji Akino at school, "How do you feel at school recently?" Do you have any problems with your studies or interpersonal interactions? ”

Obviously, she had never cared about herself before, but now she suddenly acted like this, saying that she didn't have anything in her heart and seemed false.

But Saionji Akino remained silent, and he truthfully stated some of his predicaments.

"Hmm... Academically, it's okay, but it's not going well in interpersonal relationships. ”

"Although I have tried to make changes, there are still very few people who can accept me."

"Auntie can see your efforts, you have changed so much now, you must have paid a lot behind your back, believe in yourself, as long as you persevere, everyone will definitely accept you!" Haruka Sakuraba grabbed Saionji Akino's hands and looked into his eyes very "sincerely".

"Thank you, Auntie... I thought... Auntie, you've always hated me..."Saionji Akino seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and he pursed his lips and smiled.

Sakuraba Haruka's face stiffened slightly, "How could it be, in fact, I have always treated you and Qianxue the same before, but... At that time, your personality was more sensitive, and I didn't think it was appropriate to say a lot of things to you, for fear of irritating you. ”

"I was really gloomy in the past, and I also caused you a lot of trouble at that time, so I'm sorry to say to you."

"No, no, what is Akino-kun doing now?"

"Oh yes... We're family, too, aren't we? Sakuraba Haruka thought of the sentence that Saionji Akino took the initiative to mention to her before, and hurriedly said.

"Well, you're right, we're family."

Haruka Sakuraba looked at the young man's slightly green smile and felt that everything was in line with her imagination.

Sure enough, even if there is a change, this child's nature is still the same, he only needs to spend more thought, and when the time comes, let him sign the contract in the name of his family, then all the problems can be solved.

At this point, Sakuraba Haruka has already figured it out, she doesn't think about what business she is doing after this time, she honestly takes the last inheritance to enjoy life, and then she can provide for her daughter to go to college.

It took 10 years to do business, and so far there has been no success, which really shows that in today's society, women entrepreneurs really can't move an inch.

I don't want to sell myself because of some exchange of interests, and I don't want to drink and clink glasses with those bald old guys all day long.

In addition to the gift-giving visit, everything that could be done was done, but the result was still in vain.

After filling the current debt of this store, leave a few hundred thousand yuan for this stepson, so that he can spend his high school life in peace, and it can be regarded as his own love.

She herself has no guilt at all about depriving Xiyuan Temple Akino of the property that she could have inherited, after all, she has no feelings for her father when she marries, and it is even more difficult to see each other after marriage, and she doesn't know why that man chose himself as the object of his second marriage?

Is it for the sake of having a daughter of about the same age?

Sakuraba Haruka felt that the atmosphere was good now, so she smiled and said, "The opportunity is rare, in that case, let's go home together tonight, right?" ”

"Let's go home together?"

"Well, Auntie thinks what you said makes sense, and it's no good to be overworked, and... Akino-kun, you rarely eat your aunt's cooking, and your aunt has always taken care of you very little because of work... I still feel a little guilty. ”

"Let me make it up to you tonight, okay? ~" Haruka Sakuraba asked gently.

Saionji Akino blinked, hesitated for a moment, and nodded, "Then I'll trouble you." ”

"It's not troublesome~"
