Create MYGO second creation, but make them cry

As a result, he got criticized today, and he really lost face.

Old Deng still warned Banai, "You should know without me saying it that this is Tangdao... or rather, the branch family's counterattack against you. Especially during this sensitive period, if it is not handled properly, it can easily affect your prestige."

I see everyone watching to see what you're going to do.

Without hesitation, Banai said, "How about you leave this matter entirely to me?"

"Are you sure?" Old Deng asked.

"At least it's more reliable than the idea you're trying to suppress in your heart," Banami shrugged gently.

After a moment of silence, Toyokawa Sadaharu nodded slightly: "Then let's do it. With me here, they can't overturn it for the time being."

Banami nodded seriously; for him, it wasn't a big problem yet.

Just then, Banami's phone rang. After seeing the caller ID, Banami looked at the indifferent little cucumber and teased, "Your dad's here to vent his anger on this heartless man."

After all, now that things have blown up, it's only natural that Ruoye and her husband would come to him to demand an explanation.

"Xi, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xiangzi said coquettishly.

"What's wrong with my lips?" Banami looked at the cucumber, who had been staring at her ever since.

"It's nothing," Ruoye Mu lowered her head.

Chapter 40 Ruoye Mutsu: Kiss... Decompression (Two chapters combined, 5000 words)

The night was hazy, and the Wakaba family home, which was usually empty, was unusually well-organized today.

Normally, Takafumi Wakaba would be either filming a variety show or on his way to social events.

But today he even canceled his work commitments to go home for dinner, all for the sake of his daughter, Ruoye Mutsu.

Not only the three members of the Wakaba family, but even Banami was sitting at the Wakaba family's dining table.

"Speaking of which, it's been a long time since Xiaoxi came to our house. You used to eat here often before you went to high school. Ah, could it be that the girl named Xiangzi is the one you met when you ran away from home?"

Hmm, could it be like that movie Minami made before, where the girl fell in love with you without knowing your identity?

That sounds pretty good; true friendship is revealed in times of trouble.

Hearing her husband's words, Senmina coughed lightly and said, "Honey, the fried pork cutlet is good today, have a couple more pieces."

"Oh, it looks really good. It's rare that you're not eating those awful weight-loss meals today, Minami."

As Banami watched Mori Minami's lips twitch slightly, even though Shoko had already prepared him, sitting at the dinner table and having a simple conversation with her was enough to broaden the boy's horizons.

Without a doubt, Takafumi Wakaba is a good person, a good husband, and should even be a father who cares about his daughter.

However, it was as if a string was missing from his head; such thick-skinnedness was truly rare in Japan, a country known for its ability to read the air.

Even in front of her daughter, she said that her childhood sweetheart ran away from home and then fell in love with another girl after going through hardships together...

Give me some air, hey.

If it weren't for Little Cucumber's completely unflappable personality, she probably would have flipped the table right there and then.

Before coming over, Yagami had prepared himself to be scolded by Mutsu's father, but when he arrived, Uncle Wakaba still treated him kindly and as a beloved junior.

"Oh dear, things are indeed a bit troublesome today. Even my father called to ask me about it. Although it's a marriage between children, you can't be sure about these things."

I remember my grandfather and Ruihui's grandfather arranged a marriage between us when we were little, but your mother didn't approve of me. Oh well, what's the big deal? You can't force feelings between children."

Immediately, Banana found it difficult to stay composed, and even Wakaba Mutsu began to waver.

Do feelings between children not count?

Although Senmina Nami maintained her smile, she couldn't help but feel a pang of resentment when her husband told her that Toyokawa Yu's mother looked down on her. "What do you mean? You only came to me because she looks down on you?" she thought.

Okay, even though she was the one who pursued him, can that be the same thing?

"Takafumi, stop talking. This is sake I brought back especially for you."

"Oh, it's been so long since I had dinner with Xiaoxi, I'm so happy." Ruoye Longwen laughed again.

"You don't need to worry about this. Leave it to me. I won't let the Wakaba family's reputation be tarnished, just like before," Mori Minami said calmly.

"It can't be that serious, hahaha." Wakaba Takafumi still seemed unconvinced.

Mori Minami simply smiled faintly and said, "Yu-kun, why don't you bring that Ms. Hachimi Shoko over so we can see her too? She's your fiancée, after all."

Banami thought to herself, "I'm not your husband, why would I be that stupid?"

As expected, compared to Takafumi Wakaba, Minami Mori is the most difficult to deal with.

“She said it’s rare for Aunt Minami and your family to have time to catch up, so she won’t bother us,” Banami said prudently.

"Hmm... that child is quite good. Compared to Xiao Mu, she is indeed more suitable to be the bride of the Toyokawa family. To be honest, with Xiao Mu's personality, I was always worried about who she should marry in the future, so I thought I would just put her in your family." Minami revealed a playful smile.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Banami's forehead. Unlike the oblivious Wakaba Takafumi, Banami's words were loaded with hidden meaning, demonstrating a very high level of cunning.

It's truly bizarre that the three members of the Ruoye family, with their completely different personalities, could actually get together.

"I've always treated Mutsu like my own little sister." But Banami wasn't unprepared.

"Hey, back when my dad encouraged me to pursue Mizuho, ​​she said the same thing, saying she treated me like an older brother, hahaha." Wakaba Takafumi said with a cheerful laugh.

They don't even realize now that this is a polite way of saying no.

Banami wondered if Xiaomu's grandfather knew that his son was not mentally sound, which was why he agreed to let Mori Minami marry into the family.

Mori Minami's lips twitched, and she said, "Feelings really can't be forced, but now this matter involves the reputation of the Wakaba family and Xiao Mu. If it's not handled properly, Xiao Mu will have a hard time getting married in the future."

After all, she has you, her childhood sweetheart of many years, standing right here.

Upon hearing this, Banami's expression turned serious. In truth, Wakaba Mutsumi was indeed implicated in his plan.

If Wakaba Mutsu's childhood friend is Shoko, it's perfectly fine for the two girls to play together often. But if it's him, it would be a huge problem for the Wakaba family if they wanted to form a marriage alliance with another family in the future.

Moreover, now that the matter has exploded on the internet, the fame of the Ruoye couple has become a catalyst for public opinion.

"This matter is indeed my fault. In fact, it was the people from the Toyokawa branch family who were behind it. Their target was me, and Mutsu was just implicated because of me."

In negotiations involving two families with a long-standing friendship, one cannot simply measure things by interests, otherwise it would easily damage the relationship between the two families. Therefore, Banami first clarified the responsibilities, straightened his back, and faced the eyes of Wakaba and his wife directly.

Although Yukichi Takafumi was inexperienced in worldly affairs and was merely a genius immersed in his own field, he couldn't help but admire Hachina's attitude. This child had unknowingly grown into a qualified head of the Toyokawa family.

It even made his father realize, somewhat belatedly, that it was a real pity that his daughter couldn't be with him.

Senmina nodded slightly and said calmly, "So what do you think should be done about this? I've asked the relevant people, and it's not easy to just withdraw the attention this time. Just as you said, someone is manipulating things behind the scenes."

Looking at the woman in front of him, Banami found her to be more amiable and rational than he had imagined, even... somewhat nonchalant, as if she wasn't in a hurry.

She wasn't like Takafumi Wakaba, a kind and gentle person. In fact, she just emphasized that it wouldn't affect the Wakaba family, not... her own daughter.

Hana couldn't help but turn her head and glance at Wakaba Mutsu, who had been eating in silence.

It was clearly a question related to her personally, yet among the four people present, she was the only one who seemed to be an outsider.

Moreover, the way she ate gave him the impression of "maintaining vital signs," not appreciating the taste of the food itself, but simply digesting it.

A slight unease settled in Banami's heart as she vaguely realized the origin of Wakaba Mutsu's personality.

But this is ultimately a matter for the Ruoye family, and it seems that he, as a fake childhood friend, shouldn't interfere for the time being.

Let's deal with the immediate issues first.

“I think the key to breaking the deadlock lies with Aunt Minami,” Banami suddenly said bluntly.

Even Mori Minami looked surprised when she heard what Banami said, wondering what this had to do with her. She just smiled and said, "Could it be that you want your Uncle Takafumi to create a scandal to overshadow your daughter's scandal?"

Banami: "???"

Wakaba Takafumi: "???"

"Just kidding." Minami Mori gave a calm smile.

Even the most thick-skinned of men, Takafumi Wakaba, could feel the pressure from his wife and said, "Minami, you know me. Girls are too much trouble for me."

Ba Nai's lips twitched involuntarily. What kind of amazing people are in this family?

But Minami seemed to have gotten used to her husband's attitude and said to Hanami, "Alright, let's continue our conversation. Yuuki, what do you mean by 'the key lies with me'?"

Banai didn't give the other party any more chances to interrupt and said, "That video was indeed malicious, trying to tie me and Xiaomu together, and even using the idea of ​​a childhood betrothal to implicate the reputation of both families."

But the people behind this seem to have forgotten that this is the 21st century. Even in a closed country like Japan, at least in terms of public opinion, is it really in line with the public's perception that two children who are still in the womb should be betrothed?

After all, this marriage was arranged without our consent.

This point was simply misled by the photos of the two of us from childhood to adulthood shown in the video.

Senmina listened attentively, and subconsciously raised her leg. She was indeed a mature and charming beauty, worthy of being a nationally renowned star.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "I think I understand what you're trying to say, but what does it have to do with me?"

With a smile, Bana said, "Aunt Minami, you're not from Tokyo, are you?"

“Indeed, like your fiancée, I’m from a small place in Kansai.” Minami Mori didn’t seem to mind, and even seemed a little proud.

Banami immediately flattered, "I often see on TV that you, Aunt Minami, are called a role model for pursuing the Tokyo dream. You came to Tokyo from a small place to work hard, entered the entertainment industry, worked hard to become a household name, and even married Uncle Wakaba and became the matriarch of the Wakaba family."

It's no exaggeration to say that Aunt Minami, you are the epitome of an inspiring and motivational figure.

"You're too kind, Yu-kun. You flatter me too much." Even with such praise, Minami simply maintained her smile.

But Banami noticed that the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, after all, no one dislikes hearing flattery.

"Then, would Aunt Minami, who is so self-respecting and strives so hard to realize her self-worth, agree to let her daughter marry someone just because of an arranged marriage?" Then, Banami poured out her key thoughts.

Mori Minami raised an eyebrow slightly and said, "I see. I understand what you're thinking. You mean that under my influence, Xiao Mu has become more independent."

Therefore, although you two are childhood sweethearts and were even betrothed as children, Xiao Mu is more willing to pursue her dreams than to fall in love.

Banami thought to herself, "No wonder she can rise from a country girl to a big star. She's so much better than Xiao Xiang, who only has brute strength."

"That's right. So it wasn't that I dumped Xiao Mu, but rather that Xiao Mu wanted to realize her own value more than romantic love."

Strictly speaking, I was the one who got dumped, so heartbroken, I ran away from home and then found another girl.

Upon hearing what Banami said, Wakaba Mutsu looked at her gently but remained silent.

After considering it for a moment, Senmina said, "In this way, Xiaomu transforms from a dumped woman into a self-respecting girl with ideals and a desire to strive for success. With me as a well-known role model, the credibility is not an issue. It is indeed a good story."

But if that happens, the blame for being dumped will fall on you, Xi Jun. Is that really okay?

“I’m going to marry Xiaoxiang, so what does it matter if I get dumped or not?”

In fact, Banami was lying when he said that, since it would affect his reputation as the head of the family, but it was still within a controllable range.

As long as it doesn't affect Wakaba Mutsu.

"Xiao Xi, you've grown into a decent young man. If Mizuho could see you like this, she would be so happy," said Wakaba Takafumi with a touch of emotion.

Banami remained noncommittal and continued, "If Aunt Minami and Mutsu agree, I will then use the Toyokawa family's resources to begin a propaganda campaign."

It's just that Aunt Minami and Xiaomu have had to work hard these past few days, giving interviews to various media outlets and magazines, gradually deepening everyone's impression of Xiaomu.

After thinking for a moment, Minami Mori said, "I happen to have a movie coming out soon, and it's a similar movie. Let's use the movie promotion as a starting point for the interview."

Moreover, it goes without saying that this time the Toyokawa family took the initiative to provide resources to further promote her image, which is extremely beneficial to Minami Mori's "personal brand".

Banami looked at Wakaba Mutsumi, who had been silent, and said, "Mutsumi, you might be doing interviews with Aunt Minami for a while. I'll try to arrange for you to speak as little as possible, okay?"

Looking at the girl with light green hair, Banami slowly lowered her head and remained silent. After a while, she said, "Childhood friend, is that all?"

"Huh?"

As Banami was pondering the meaning of those words, she heard Minami say, "Alright, Mutsumi, just like before, I'll lead the interview. You just need to sit there and answer questions when appropriate, understand?"

“......Hmm.” Finally, under her mother’s gaze, Wakaba Mutsu nodded gently.

***

After the discussion was completed, when Banami left the Wakaba family, the petite girl followed behind him.

“I know how to get out, you don’t need to follow me.” Although Ruoye’s house is quite big, he’s not directionally challenged.

“Dad, let me see you out,” Little Cucumber said calmly.

Suddenly, the boy stopped, and Ruo Ye Mu almost bumped into him. She looked up at him with some confusion.

“I said, Ruoye Mu, the plan hasn’t been implemented yet. If you’re unwilling, you can tell me, and I can think of other ways to eliminate the impact of this on you.”

After all, you'll be frequently in front of the camera and exposed to flashing lights from time to time.

This is what Banami cares about most.

“My mother used to take me to do interviews often,” Wakaba Mutsu said softly.
