Chapter 311: Chapter 231. I’m Just Joking (4000 words)_2

"My family’s Nakajima Conglomerate in Kagoshima Prefecture has enough influence to reach Shikoku Island—I honestly don’t know how they found out about my acute leukemia... "

Nakajima Michika was somewhat helpless.

She had been happy when she went there today.

After all, with a more suitable bone marrow match in hand, her chances of a successful surgery had significantly increased.

But, what she had not expected was that after arriving at the hospital, the doctor told her that the Nakajima Conglomerate had expended financial, human, and material resources to find the right donor.

Additionally, through this incident, her parents had reconnected with her, saying they would visit the Beichuan Family tomorrow.

This was the most concerning issue.

Likewise, Nakajima Michika had not anticipated how her parents had found out about her health status.

"Regarding how the Nakajima Conglomerate found out about Miss Nakajima’s recent health status...I think you should ask Miss Ying, I believe she should have an idea."

"Ah? Ask Ying?"

Nakajima Michika looked over in surprise, only to see Qianye Yuki displaying a somewhat embarrassed smile.

Had she not caught on to Beichuan Si’s implication? It was clear that Qianye Yuki had disclosed her health status to the Nakajima Conglomerate.

"Ying!!!!"

Nakajima Michika was both angry and furious, never having expected her close friend, who had always been by her side, to be a traitor.

Seeing that she seemed genuinely upset, Qianye Yuki also put away her smile and gently pleaded, "... Michika, your Uncle Nakajima and Aunt Nakajima equally deserve to know about this. Moreover, finding a more suitable bone marrow match is not an easy task; leveraging the power of the Nakajima Conglomerate is necessary."

Nakajima Michika pursed her lips, her spirited face still overflowing with discontent.

"Senior Beichuan, what do you think?"

Qianye Yuki turned her gaze to Beichuan Si, hoping he would speak in her favor.

After all, Nakajima Michika had lived with Beichuan Si for so long; his words should have an impact on her.

Under Qianye Yuki’s gaze, Beichuan Si coldly diverted his eyes, "I do not agree with this approach, Miss Ying."

He ignored Qianye Yuki’s sorrowful gaze and focused on Nakajima Michika, saying word by word, "But out of consideration for Miss Nakajima’s health, I support Miss Ying’s actions."

"Actually, when life is gone, everything else is gone too. I think Miss Nakajima should agree with this statement."

"But even so—" Nakajima Michika was still somewhat irritated.

She was already in her twenties and still acting like a young girl.

Beichuan Si waved his hand, cutting off Nakajima Michika’s words, "Then let me ask Miss Nakajima in reverse."

"Do you hate your own biological parents?"

"..." Nakajima Michika fell silent again.

Even though her parents did not support her dreams, Nakajima Michika had never hated them. At most, she just couldn’t accept their lack of understanding.

This was also the heartache that Nakajima Michika had been suppressing.

"If you don’t hate them, then accepting their help, I believe, shouldn’t be much of a problem."

Beichuan Si continued calmly, "If you truly hate them, then I can also take you to a place where you’ll never see them again—this offer I only make now. If it passes, you’ll never have another chance."

Nakajima Michika was stunned.

Qianye Yuki was stunned too.

Then, Qianye Yuki’s expression drastically changed, "Senior Beichuan—"

Others might not know of Beichuan Si’s capability, but she was well aware of it.

If Beichuan Si spoke, then perhaps he really had such a method.

"I am speaking to Miss Nakajima." Beichuan Si didn’t even glance at Qianye Yuki, but just fixed his intense gaze on Nakajima Michika.

Silence.

A long silence that made Qianye Yuki’s heart pound.

Finally, Nakajima Michika shook her head resignedly, "How could I possibly hate my parents?"

"That’s your choice, Miss Nakajima. Then you should walk the path you wish to take."

"I’ll try my best to persuade my parents tomorrow."

Nakajima Michika regained her energy.

It was as if she suddenly understood.

After all, they were family, and avoiding them was futile.

She would ultimately have to face her family.

It was either during her parents’ lifetime that Nakajima Michika came to terms with this, or after her parents’ death, that Nakajima Michika, overwhelmed with immense regret, would cry inconsolably on their coffin, expressing her longing for them.

It was that simple for Beichuan Si; this hardly posed any problem.

Compared to how typical novels exaggerate and complicate situations, Beichuan Si always opted for simplicity and clarity.

Where there is contradiction, it must be resolved.

There’s nothing in the world that cannot be resolved, the key lies in whether the parties involved are willing to resolve it.

Seeing her like this, Qianye Yuki finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Things had not escalated to the worst-case scenario.

Yet, she was curious.

She had secretly disclosed Nakajima Michika’s health condition to the Nakajima Conglomerate, and she hadn’t told anyone; so how could Beichuan Si act as if he already knew?

"Senior Beichuan, I have a question for you."

Qianye Yuki leaned in and lowered her voice.

"Go ahead."

"Why did you know that I told her parents about Michika’s health condition?"

Beichuan Si took a sip of tea and responded without looking up:

"I guessed."

"Guessed?" Qianye Yuki widened her eyes.

You could guess that? And your guess was incredibly accurate, wasn’t it?

Qianye Yuki was somewhat astonished.

Facing her expression, Beichuan Si simply continued, "The reason I say I guessed is that I don’t have concrete evidence to prove it was you, Miss Ying, who leaked the information."

"But ever since I’ve known Miss Ying, you’ve always been this kind of person."

Beichuan Si lifted his gaze, "You not taking some action would actually surprise me more."

Qianye Yuki had always been proactive, never passive in doing things.

This, too, was evident from the fact that she had actively sought Beichuan Si’s help to shelter Michika.

"..." Qianye Yuki.

So, were all the actions she had taken seen through by Beichuan Si?

This guy was really a bit too frightening...

Qianye Yuki somewhat understood the feelings of those who called him the Beichuan Demon King.

"What did Senior Beichuan mean just now when he said... he would send Michika to a place where her parents could never see her again? What does that mean?"

Qianye Yuki stared intently at Beichuan Si, hoping to get an answer from him.

If Nakajima Michika really said the word "hate," would Beichuan Si really—

A ripple appeared on Beichuan Si’s normally impassive face; he turned his head, looking at Qianye Yuki somewhat oddly:

"I was just trying to lighten the mood with a joke."

"Ah?!"

Qianye Yuki gaped.

Just a joke?!

"Our paths are different, and I couldn’t possibly really send her to a place where her parents cannot find her."

Beichuan Si continued in an odd tone, "Besides, I’m under no obligation to help."

"Of course, I can help if needed. Hui Li needs funds for university, and I need funds for university; if I can get the money, I might really consider fulfilling Nakajima Michika’s request."

Wait a minute... Thinking about it, had he missed something?

"Maybe we should just ask her directly what she really thinks?"

Beichuan Si pondered with furrowed brows.

"No!!!" Qianye Yuki couldn’t help but shout out loud.

Seeing her like this, Beichuan Si shrugged his shoulders indifferently and waved his hand:

"That was also a joke."

"That joke is not funny at all, Senior Beichuan!"

And was it really just a joke?

Was it really just something Beichuan Si said off the cuff?

The more she thought, the more something felt off.

Qianye Yuki looked solemnly at Beichuan Si, whose face remained devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

It felt to her that she couldn’t differentiate Beichuan Si’s jokes from his serious words at all.
