Crossover: Becoming Japan’s Prime Minister? Chapter 301 302: Can’t the Three of Us, Do It?

Ms. Yukinoshita looked at her daughter blankly. She murmured softly, "Who should we look for? Should we look for Fujiwara?"

Haruno nodded vigorously and urged, "Mom, you should let go of so dignity and pride. The only ones we can turn to for help now are Fujiwara."

"Although the Yukinoshita family is also a large family, we are the main branch. The branch families still rely on us to survive. It's impossible for us to ask the branch families for help, and they don't have the ability either."

"The only ones who can help us now, and who are related to us, are Fujiwara. If we don't ask Fujiwara for help at this ti, who else can we ask?"

Haruno tried to persuade her gently. Her tone was very soft, hoping her mother could let go of that bit of pride.

Compared to the life and death of the Yukinoshita family, her mother's pride was truly insignificant.

Ms. Yukinoshita was silent for a mont. She said in a hoarse voice, "Haruno, I understand what you an, and I know you are dissatisfied with how stubborn I still am."

"But Haruno, you don't understand. Families like Fujiwara only talk about kinship within their own ranks, and even then, only toward excellent mbers of the main branch. Even toward branch families, they don't consider feelings, let alone outsiders like us."

"Especially that woman, your aunt. She has just barely managed to gain a foothold in Fujiwara again. If we go begging Fujiwara, she will definitely spread gossip and make Fujiwara question us."

Ms. Yukinoshita took a deep breath and showed a bitter smile. "Haruno, you are still too young and don't understand the way large families like this survive."

"For a large family, one's heart must be ruthless and cold enough. The sole purpose of the family is to pursue profit and maintain its continuation."

"Believe it or not, if we go begging Fujiwara, the families in Chiba Prefecture will definitely go to Fujiwara as well. They will give up so profits to make Fujiwara not interfere here. Fujiwara might even kick us while we're down."

"Even when the Shinomiya family encountered uncontrollable trouble, Fujiwara could decisively break off the engagent. Fujiwara clearly understood they couldn't clash with Arica's Wall Street, so they chose to cut ties instead of choosing to throw themselves against a stone for the sake of so-called sentint."

"This is what a large family is like. Everything is centered around profit. When a family acts on emotion, then the entire family is not far from falling apart."

Ms. Yukinoshita rambled on a lot. The aning was to make Haruno give up this idea and not beg Fujiwara, because they would not get anything and would likely be swallowed up by the other party.

Haruno was silent. She said in a low voice, "Then we don't have to beg Fujiwara. We'll only beg Toru-kun alone."

Ms. Yukinoshita did not think much of it. "The Yukinoshita family needs nearly two billion yen to get through this crisis. It's true that Fujiwara-kun is the heir of Fujiwara, but he isn't the head of the family right now and doesn't have the ability to mobilize such a large sum of money."

Haruno said resolutely, "Then why not try? Mother, how do you know Toru-kun doesn't have these funds?"

"It's true that the house Toru-kun lives in was bought by Fujiwara, but the shop Toru-kun has in Ikebukuro was acquired by Toru-kun himself and has nothing to do with Fujiwara."

"Mother, you simply don't understand Toru-kun. You don't understand his capabilities at all."

Ms. Yukinoshita was slightly moved.

Seeing that her mother was moved, Haruno pressed on, "I can go to Toru-kun myself and ask him to lend us this money. I'm willing to pay any price."

Haruno's heart pounded. She said these words with a dry mouth and a trembling body.

This was a test, a rebellion against her own destiny.

If her mother agreed, then she might be able to use Toru's power to escape the life path that the Yukinoshita family had forced upon her.

Even if she had to pay everything for it, Haruno was willing.

Who knew that Ms. Yukinoshita saw through her thoughts at a glance and said decisively, "No, Haruno, you cannot go!"

How could Ms. Yukinoshita not see what her daughter was thinking? She wanted to escape responsibility.

But how could Ms. Yukinoshita be willing? She had spent twenty years training Haruno, raising such an excellent heir.

In Ms. Yukinoshita's plan, she was going to find an obedient man to marry into the family and continue the Yukinoshita family line.

It could be said that she was forcibly imposing the misfortunes of her own life onto her daughter.

Her mother's refusal made Haruno angry. She said in a low voice, "Then what about letting Yukino go?"

"Yukino? What can Yukino do? That's two billion yen, two billion! Do you think letting Yukino be Fujiwara-kun's lover is worth two billion yen?"

Ms. Yukinoshita's words were extrely harsh, causing Haruno to frown involuntarily.

But she also knew her mother was right. Yukino was not worth two billion yen.

How could soone with this much money lack won around him? Would he really spend two billion yen for a high school girl?

Even if the money was just a loan, who knew if the Yukinoshita family would be able to repay it in the end, or if it would all go to waste?

Nobody would gamble such a huge sum of money.

Haruno took a deep breath and said resolutely, "Since Yukino alone isn't enough, then add !"

Although they were not twins, they were sisters, the eldest young ladies of the Yukinoshita family. This bargaining chip was 1 1>2.

However, Ms. Yukinoshita still sneered, "You think too highly of yourself, Haruno! Besides, would Yukino be willing?"

"Yukino is willing."

"You..."

Ms. Yukinoshita was furious.

The two daughters she had raised were not ant to be mistresses for others. She hoped they could stand tall and control their own lives, not beco appendages to n.

It should be n who beca their appendages.

"Mom, it was your poor decision-making that forced Yukino and to make such a choice."

Haruno attributed all the mistakes to her mother in one breath.

Ms. Yukinoshita broke down. Of course, she knew it was precisely her poor decision-making that had plunged the Yukinoshita family into its current predicant.

But how could she have imagined that a large zaibatsu like Shinomiya Group would be targeted by Wall Street in Arica, forcing them to protect themselves and leaving businesses like theirs to bear the consequences?

She scread hoarsely, "This has nothing to do with , it's all your father's fault! If he hadn't lost his position as a councilor, our Yukinoshita family wouldn't be in such a difficult situation."

Haruno ignored her mother's hysteria and calmly said again, "Since Yukino and I aren't enough, how about adding you, Mother?"

Ms. Yukinoshita was shocked.

Slap!

She suddenly stood up and slapped Haruno, saying in disbelief, "Are you crazy?!"

Haruno was expressionless. "If you truly want the Yukinoshita family to overco this crisis, if you truly care about the family, then you should spare no effort, even your own body."

Ms. Yukinoshita's face flickered between light and shadow.

...

When Toru received a ssage from Haruno at his mansion, saying that she and her mother would visit in a couple of days, he was sowhat surprised.
