The back garden of the main house of the Akashi family is one of the rest places for the banquet. Many guests will come here to rest, chat, or go to the food buffet area to enjoy delicious food to comfort their hungry bellies after socializing with friends.

Saya shouldn't have appeared here. At this moment, as the heir of the Hashimoto family, she should accompany grandpa to say hello to people in the business district.Unexpectedly, among the guests tonight, they saw familiar faces who hadn't seen them for a long time. This made her feel that the danger of this dinner party would become higher and higher.

If you want to ask her why she has such an idea, the reason is very simple. The person she is going to meet is the eldest son of the former head of the chamber of commerce and the current head of the Ryuzaki family, Ryuzaki Shinichi.

For his memory, Saya still stays in middle school.At that time, he was still in the third grade of high school, but because of a serious illness, he needed to recuperate at home for a long time.And she, who just entered the first grade of middle school, and as his grandfather's student, came to Ryuzaki's house every week to learn the relevant courses that the heir should learn according to his grandfather's arrangement, so the two met.

The time to study is not long or short, and it will not be too short.

Since her grandfather took over her parental authority, her abilities have been trained by him since she was a child, and it is not difficult for her to cope with Grandpa Ryuzaki's rigorous teaching.It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. In her third year of middle school, the Ryuzaki family suddenly stopped her studies and no longer interacted with the Hashimoto family. Until now, she still doesn't know the reason.

As for her relationship with Ryuzaki Shinichi, they are not so much like siblings, but more like rivals.

Yes, it is the opponent.

Compared with his younger brother Shinhiro, Shinichi's scheming is deep and difficult to see through.

Usually, he is used to wearing an amiable mask to treat others, and rarely reveals his true side in front of outsiders.But she was extremely unlucky, not only ruined his good deed by chance, but also saw his true face.

As a result, there is no need to guess, she was ridiculed by the "gentle" big brother at that time, and she was also given many harsh warning words by the way.

"Saya, men don't like women with strong personalities and abilities. The one you miss is no exception. If you want to find a good family to marry after you grow up, it's still too late to give up now and become a well-behaved famous family There is a better way to be a girl than to be a strong woman."

"You don't need to worry about my future."

How the future will develop, she couldn't know at that time.The only thing that is certain is that she will not let herself follow the old path of her mother. After graduating from university, she will marry and have children for the development of the family. That is definitely not the life she wants.Now, things have changed, and she meets Shinichi again. Will the two continue to mock each other, or will they just sit in their seats and stare at each other in a daze?

Obviously, the latter is a dangerous and stupid behavior.

"I haven't seen you for many years. Is this how you greeted me?"

Sipping the champagne in the glass, letting the inexplicable bitterness spread in his mouth, the handsome man in the silver-gray suit looked at Saya with an extremely displeased expression on his face, and said, "It really chills me, if I didn't say that The matter has something to do with him, and you will never come over and talk about it."

"There's nothing to talk about between us."

This is Saya's truth. Let alone Shinichi's character, taking his current status as an example, it is very inappropriate for her to sit at the same table with him.Surrounded by celebrities in the business world, the interaction between her and him will be seen by those people, and since Shinichi is married, she has to keep a distance from him, and can't get too close, so that someone who wants to catch him handle.

"You didn't, I did." Not deterred by Saya's indifference, Shinichi continued to say in his gentle tone: "Last Friday, my wife and I divorced."

Hearing this news, Saya's face did not change in any way, as if what Shinichi was talking about was an extremely ordinary thing, but she would not be indifferent, and she still showed the reaction she should have.

"It's a pity, it was a good marriage."

"Is that what you want to say?" Regarding Saya's answer, Shen Yi frowned slightly, feeling very dissatisfied. He put down the wine glass in his hand, looked directly into her eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "I thought you Will show a happy face instead of perfunctory me with cold words."

"I'm an outsider, and I never interfere in other people's private affairs, so all I can say is what I just said. And you have been giving me hints since the moment we met. What is the purpose?"

Too lazy to go around in circles with Shen, Saya turned directly to the topic.

"You're a little smarter than you were before."

Shinichi is still the same, and a certain old problem has not disappeared due to the changes of the years. Even if he admits Saya's ability in his heart, he still doesn't want to show weakness verbally, let alone say any words of praise. Revival needs help, and no matter how reluctant he is, he still wants to speak those words.

"Don't force yourself to praise, I know it's really hard for you to say those words."

'If the Ryuzaki family can be successfully restored to their former glory, I will keep repeating those words. 'This sentence, Shinichi can only say silently in his heart, and he will never say it in front of Saya.

For him, love is never more important than his career. Even if he really has intentions for Saya in his heart, he still has to make concessions for his career.

"This time, I am sincere." Suppressing the inexplicable feelings in his heart, Shen Yi continued, "Especially tonight's banquet, you know that this place is full of dangers, and you still take the risk to participate. I admire your courage very much."

Crisis?

No matter how stupid Saya was, she understood the meaning of Shinichi's words. She immediately looked around, and soon found that Kyotani Anri and other members of the Akashi family were walking towards her.Sure enough, tonight's banquet is a trap, but I don't know who the woman is going to frame, is it her or Akashi?

"Shinichi, are you with those people?"

Staring at the man who was still drinking wine leisurely with slightly angry eyes, Saya's face was dark, and he asked him to speak clearly and stop trying to keep her secret.

"In terms of interests, she and I are just using each other. When it comes to you, you have no time to worry about your fiancé's troubles. Take care of yourself first, otherwise, you won't even have a chance to talk to me."

As soon as Shen Yi's voice fell, the hidden trap was also activated.

After entertaining the guests, Anri Jinggu walked quickly to their table like a wild wolf that had found its prey.I saw that she first smiled and nodded to Shen, and then she straightened her face and directly attacked her prey.

"Miss Hashimoto, so you are here. I thought you were entertaining guests with Seijuro. Unexpectedly, you left your fiancé and chatted with other men in the back garden. I'm afraid it's not good for you to do this. ?."

"Ms. Jinggu, you misunderstood. I asked Saya to come here to chat. I am an old acquaintance with her. I just want to take this opportunity to chat with her, and I have no other intentions."

Shinichi pretended to explain to Saya, but secretly watched the development of the situation according to the script he had set up.He was very curious about how Saya would react, especially in the face of the invisible pressure slowly forming around him. As an ordinary person, he would have been so frightened that he was at a loss and could speak incoherently.

"Mr. Ryuzaki, you are one of the distinguished guests at this dinner, so you don't need to speak for her. After all, Miss Hashimoto, as the fiancee of the next heir, should be reprimanded by her elders for her inappropriate handling. If he still knows his mistakes and refuses to correct them, After entering the Akashi family, how can I help my husband manage the family affairs?"

Jinggu Anri deliberately increased the volume of her speech, so that everyone in the back garden could hear clearly, clearly trying to make things big.As for the guests resting nearby, even though most of them knew that Jinggu Anri was maliciously creating rumors to frame others, none of them dared to speak for Saya to prove it.It's no wonder that they are all outsiders, and it's okay to watch the excitement, but it's not a good fun to meddle in other people's affairs. In case they are involved in the battle of the Akashi family, it will be very difficult to get out.

The confrontation between the two women continued like this, and the back garden was shrouded in an extremely depressing atmosphere, which made people feel uncomfortable.But even so, there are still people who can see the truth from the fog set by Anri Jinggu. No, to be precise, there should be people who have been observing in the dark since before she started finding fault.Not only did he see the meeting between Saya and Shinichi, he listened to all the conversations between the two, and he also saw what someone did on the spot, and he just barely came out of the dark to testify for Saya himself.

"Don't go out, that old woman is just waiting for you to fall into the trap and make things worse."

In a dark corner of the back garden, there were two figures hiding behind bushes, observing what happened ahead.Among them, one is Akashi who agreed to go to the back garden for an appointment, while the other is Xinguang who can't help but look back at his elder brother and gossip. Few, only dwarf trees are the most suitable for hiding, so the two happened to hide together.

"You want me to leave Saya alone?" Akashi glanced at Shinhiro coldly, and asked, "Also, you said she was hiding something from me, are you referring to Shinichi Ryuzaki?"

Xin Guang nodded helplessly, "No way, my brother is a dangerous person, Saya kept it from you, and it was for your sake."

"He and Saya had a festival before?"

There was no bloody eight o'clock plot, so Akashi was naturally relieved, but another problem arose spontaneously. Since the two were old acquaintances who hadn't seen each other for many years, why did they confront each other as soon as they met, as if they were seeing enemies? It confuses him greatly.

"How should I put it..." Speaking of the past, Xinguang hesitated whether to tell the story, but seeing Akashi's cold eyes, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and finish the sentence, "My old brother, long He is handsome, has a good mind, has a good personality, and is very attractive to women, but he has a big shortcoming, that is, he is jealous."

"Ji Cai?"

Knowing people and making good use of them can lead to success in business. Akashi has understood this since he was a child. Now, when Shinhiro mentions this word, he inevitably guesses in his heart that Shinichi Ryuzaki is not afraid of talent, but probably someone.

"That's right, that's my brother's biggest shortcoming. Although his personal ability is very good, he is highly expected by the elders of the family. But there are people outside him. Saya's appearance shattered his dream and made him lose completely. Whether it is learning Family business management, or ordinary kendo training, Saya's grades are better than my brother, even my grandfather can't help but sigh, if she can marry into the Ryuzaki family in the future, maybe the revival of the Ryuzaki family will be just around the corner."

"That's impossible. She's already mine. You Ryuzaki family don't even think about her." During the conversation, Akashi gradually understood the hints that Shinhiro buried in his words. In order to prove his inference, he He continued to ask: "If I'm not mistaken, there is another reason why your brother didn't attack Saya."
