Chapter 475: Chapter 313. Big Loss (Reached 8000 words goal!)_2

For a moment, Shikizaki Chuncai felt conflicted.

Compared to the slight disturbances of emotions in her heart, Beichuan Si had already seen through her; he sat beside Shikizaki Chuncai and replied, "I’ve already mentioned before, I only met your father once. And... seeing you reminds me of someone."

"Someone?" Shikizaki Chuncai tilted her head.

"My sister," Beichuan Si continued candidly, "Her name is Nishijou Kurenai."

"Kurenai..." Shikizaki Chuncai muttered the name softly.

"Mm," Beichuan Si responded evenly.

The two fell into a subtle silence.

After a while, Beichuan Si broke the brief tranquility,

"Your father entrusted me with some words for you. Would you like to hear them?"

Silence.

A prolonged silence.

Shikizaki Chuncai’s body trembled, her complexion turning slightly pale.

She pondered for a long time, for a very long time, before she slowly nodded.

It might have really been a difficult choice for her; on one hand, she didn’t understand why her father had abandoned her to die, and on the other, she wanted to know what words he had left for her.

Was it expectation? Blessing? Or...

Complaints?

Was my birth right or wrong?

Shikizaki Chuncai thought a lot and finally prepared herself mentally.

Her expression solemn, her eyes somewhat vacant, she tried hard to steady her mindset.

Under her gaze, Beichuan Si said, "Mr. Shikizaki said this."

"If Mr. Beichuan sees my daughter safe and sound,"

"Please make sure to tell her, I really love her... I wanted so very much to see her grow... but now, I can no longer do so..."

Shikizaki Chuncai said a lot; he wanted Beichuan Si to convey many things, but in the end, he only left these words before the Spiritual Body dispersed.

He really loved Shikizaki Chuncai, nothing more.

Shikizaki Chuncai’s throat choked up.

She bowed her head firmly, not wanting Beichuan Si to see that her face was already streaming with tears.

"Dad... did he really say that?" Shikizaki Chuncai stammered.

"As it happened recently, I should not remember it wrong," Beichuan Si replied.

But Shikizaki Chuncai no longer heard his words.

She was lost in distant memories.

During birthday celebrations.

When taking her to school.

When she went to school alone...

Her father would always tilt his head and watch her with a gentle smile.

His smile was silly but very warm.

Beichuan Si watched the young girl cover her face, his gaze unchanging.

Maybe Shikizaki Chun was cowardly at heart, timid, and even did something unforgivable, but to Shikizaki Chuncai, he was still her favorite father, and that was unchangeable.

He just didn’t know how he appeared in the minds of Hui Li and Kurenai.

Beichuan Si frowned, pondering this suddenly arising question.

...

"Thank you very much, Brother Beichuan," Shikizaki Chuncai deeply bowed to Beichuan Si.

Her previously gloomy and evading eyes softened considerably.

"Fulfilling someone’s trust," Beichuan Si waved his hand and suggested, "It’s been half an hour now; there should be some result inside. Let’s go."

"...Okay," Shikizaki Chuncai took a deep breath.

No matter what, she felt that she had the courage to face some things now.

Two people reentered the house and happened to meet Shan Yuanmu Yuzi, who had already discussed the matter with the employees.

The three of them sat down again.

The only difference was that Shikizaki Chuncai no longer acted timidly like before, but instead slightly raised her head, her small chest also slightly puffed out.

"Mr. Beichuan, after discussion with a few gentlemen, we have decided to change the payer to Ms. Shikizaki Kawanoko," Shan Yuanmu Yuzi looked over.

"Thank you for the trouble," Beichuan Si expressed his gratitude.

This result was not beyond his expectations; after all, he was the savior of Shan Yuanmu Yuzi, and he also held the identity of Beichuan Mage.

The other party would not refuse to give him this face for a mere one or two million yen.

But what Shan Yuanmu Yuzi said next did catch Beichuan Si slightly by surprise.

Without pausing, she continued, "Additionally, I have just confirmed with Mr. Shikizaki Taku that several other companies also have business collaborations with my father’s company. We can handle the communication with them, and I believe they too will give us their support."

This was indeed unexpected.

Beichuan Si took another look at this young lady.

He did not expect Shan Yuanmu Yuzi to be willing to help to this extent.

Changing the payer and having a business collaboration were completely different concepts. If it had come to this, she must be utilizing some of her father Shan Yuanmu’s influence.

"I have already discussed this matter with my father, and he is willing to proceed," Shan Yuanmu Yuzi said with an orchid-hearted smile.

Behind her, several employees of the loan companies also showed embarrassed smiles.

As long as the young lady was happy, whatever she said went; they just worked under her, and couldn’t possibly create any disturbance.

"Then, please thank Mr. Shan Yuan on my behalf," Beichuan Si responded with an understanding look.

With this, the matter was nearly settled.

If that woman named Shikizaki Kawanoko insisted on not repaying, those loan companies operating on the grey edges would likely not let her off easily.

But for a woman like her, she probably had already spent all the money she could or found another honest person to take care of her, not possibly able to come up with that much money.

In other words, Shikizaki Kawanoko was definitely going to suffer a lot.

This would be a fitting retribution.

Beichuan Si was detained by the Shikizaki family until after dinner before he left; Shan Yuanmu Yuzi enjoyed the same hospitality.

By the time they left, it was already past six in the evening.

Shan Yuanmu Yuzi accompanied Beichuan Si towards the dilapidated bus station.

As they walked, her face carried a serene smile and she said, "I really didn’t expect to meet Mr. Beichuan in such a place."

"It must be fate," Beichuan Si spoke up.

All he wanted now was to return to the guesthouse quickly and make a call to check on Nakajima Michika and Beichuan Huili.

He felt uneasy not calling these two troublemakers for a day.

"Fate..." Shan Yuanmu Yuzi pondered for a moment like she was savoring the word, "Perhaps it really is fate."

The two continued on their way, during which Beichuan Si casually asked,

"How’s your recovery going?"

"Thanks to your help, Mr. Beichuan, I have almost completely recovered."

Is that so?

Beichuan Si looked thoughtfully at Shan Yuanmu Yuzi for quite a while before commenting, "You do look like a normal girl now."

Uh, cough cough—

Hearing this, Shan Yuanmu Yuzi coughed several times.

"Alright, we’re here. Miss Shan Yuan, you can leave now," Beichuan Si stopped in front of the dilapidated bus station and said to Shan Yuanmu Yuzi standing beside him.

Shan Yuanmu Yuzi glanced at the time and then asked, somewhat puzzled, "I could have asked them to give Mr. Beichuan a ride. Why insist on waiting half an hour for a bus here?"

"There is no need for so many whys. You have already been troubled enough today. I’d feel bad if you had to help any further."

Beichuan Si’s voice remained unchanged.

"...All right then." Shan Yuanmu Yuzi did not insist. She nodded and boarded the black business vehicle that had just arrived and stopped.

She poked her little head out of the car window and waved at him, "Then, if fate allows, see you again, Mr. Beichuan."

"Fate permitting, see you again," Beichuan Si responded.

After quickly exchanging goodbyes, they parted ways.

Watching the black business vehicle disappear on the rural road, Beichuan Si then took out a small notebook and meticulously noted down the favor he owed this time.

After recording, Beichuan Si murmured to himself,

"This time, it really cost me a lot."
