Chapter 272: 80. Protect someone like him_3

"Everything in the world hustles and bustles for the sake of profit..."

Sakuragi Hitomi sighed and said,

"If it weren’t for my cousin also being in the visiting group, I wouldn’t have come in person, Nara."

A tall and enchanting woman in a suit stepped out from the shadows and came to Sakuragi Hitomi’s side, gazing together at the scenery below.

"You’re relatives, it’s not about ’profit,’ is it?"

"Everything people do is for the sake of profit, and so-called kinship is just one kind of benefit."

Sakuragi Hitomi, expressionless, tried to grasp the breeze with her hand, but it slipped through her fingers, impossible to hold,

"Families unite under blood ties, clustering together for warmth, channeling benefits, and warding off risks.

"Blood is like a covenant innate to our being, maintained constantly by these interactions, proof that the bond remains strong. Even if one is distant, across the seas from their homeland, it is the same.

"Sakuragi Ryou is my aunt’s daughter, and although that uncle of hers, who married into the family, isn’t very capable, my aunt still holds sway. Since I’m here, it doesn’t hurt to maintain relations..."

Nara looked out at the scenery, remaining silent.

At this moment, approaching dusk and nearly time for school to let out, one could still see students wearing "Yuan Yue Student Council" armbands leading volunteers between various facilities.

Checking equipment, cleaning the swimming pool, and other areas, communicating with various school administrative departments...

The entire student council was bustling about, all for the upcoming [Club Battle] in a few weeks.

As Nara was surveying the scene below, she seemed to have spotted something interesting and turned to Sakuragi Hitomi with a flirtatious smile, asking,

"Is that child the childhood friend of Yan Huan you were talking about earlier?"

Upon hearing this, Sakuragi Hitomi’s gaze shifted below, and she saw An Le walking with her head down in the twilight, her backpack on her shoulders.

"Wow, she’s got a big chest."

At this, Sakuragi Hitomi’s originally expressionless face darkened.

She withdrew her gaze and disdainfully said,

"What era are we in, Nara, that you’re still stuck with the aesthetics of primitive society. It’s pitiful, really."

"..."

Nara didn’t reply, just feeling like Sakuragi Hitomi was sour because she couldn’t have grapes.

But she also noticed something else and asked Sakuragi Hitomi,

"That girl, does she not have a good reputation at school? It seems like many people are whispering about her, doesn’t it?"

"It’s just because the day before yesterday, Yuanlina the blabbermouth learned about her and the President, and the news spread all over the school. That’s all."

Sakuragi Hitomi, cradling her chin, watched An Le trying to escape awkwardly under the gaze of others, with a smirk of disdain,

"As for having a bad reputation... in my opinion, it is most likely because she is too weak herself."

Nara looked towards Sakuragi with confusion and asked,

"How so?"

"Claiming her identity as the President’s childhood friend has its pros and cons, it’s all about how you handle it."

Sakuragi Hitomi, expressionless, stared at An Le, who seemed to be walking in the "Book of Life and Death" like a judge.

After a moment of silence, she wrote down her sentence,

"The strong will take such gossip as a crown and accept it with grace; the weak will perceive it as a thorn in their side, seeking only a quiet place to hide.

"That Ye Shiyu’s identity as the President’s little sister is also circulating in small circles, do you see her being afraid? On the contrary, because of it, that kind of person has made many friends...

"In contrast, An Le, even with the chance to use the President’s prestige to gain attention in the school and reverse her situation of being ignored and bullied in class, she can’t even seize it...

"This kind of person, even if the path to redemption is laid out before them, won’t have the courage to step on it, simply because they can see a few thorns ahead."

Sakuragi Hitomi averted her gaze, no longer wanting to watch An Le,

"People like her will inevitably die unburied because of the pressure around them, seemingly because of external forces, but in reality, it’s because they are too fragile."

Upon hearing this, Nara laughed and said,

"But you approached her proactively before, on the plane, treating her with warmth and even paving the way for her to join the club?"

Sakuragi Hitomi looked at Nara and said,

"If it weren’t for her relationship with the President, do you think I would care about her life or death? Without a vested interest, I wouldn’t bother meddling.

"No matter where one is, who helps others without reason, without expecting something in return? Those people always suffer losses and are constantly hurt by their circumstances..."

Sakuragi Hitomi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and changed the subject, asking,

"Speaking of which, did you come to school at this time because you found the information I asked you to look into?"

"Of course."

Nara pulled out two stacks of paper documents from her bosom and handed them to Sakuragi Hitomi.

Sakuragi Hitomi took them and began to read meticulously, her eyes first falling upon the photo of Ye Shiyu.

"Ye Shiyu, mother Ye Lan, native of Dragon Country Tianjing. After her parents divorced, she followed her mother to live in Hundong Peng City..."

As Sakuragi Hitomi read, she frowned and murmured softly,

"How interesting, the Ye Family did not approve of Ye Lan marrying this man named Song Chenggong, but at least they provided a house in Tianjing for them as a wedding home.

"Even so, Song Chenggong actually had affairs and gambled during the marriage, ultimately getting kicked so hard by Ye Lan that he lost the ability to have children?"

Nara, leaning against the railing, pointed to the document and said,

"That’s why she and Ye Shiyu left with nothing."

"..."

Seeing that Sakuragi Hitomi did not speak, only reading the documents, Nara looked down at the school campus but suddenly said,
