Restricted fantasy invasion

Chapter 348, Section 345: I Cannot Distinguish Between Friend and Foe
"Ha ha."

After saying this, Hitomi Sakura's breathing became a little rapid.

This was the first time she had spoken so bluntly and without any regard for the dignity of such a high-ranking elder.

Having been influenced by her grandfather since childhood, she developed the ability to adapt to different situations and even her mother often feigned compliance.

No matter how unhappy you are, you can't show it to my face; you can only stab me in the back.

However, there is a first time for everything, and not everything can be compromised.

After uttering those words for the first time, aside from a trembling feeling of unease, Sakuramiya Hitomi's voice trembled, but her speech became increasingly rapid.

"Furthermore, no matter how much Auntie denies the president, threatens me or the president, it cannot change one established fact:"

"I like the president, and the president likes me too. We love each other!"

Upon hearing this, Elvira showed a surprised expression.

She crossed her legs, squinted at the little girl in front of her who was clenching her fists and whose body was trembling slightly with emotion.

She clearly underestimated the bond between these children, just as she didn't understand why Yan Huan was so special to Areya.
For Hitomi Sakura, Yan Huan was also someone she couldn't abandon.

Thus, this difficult problem is now presented to Elvira.

With such deep feelings, Elvira also realized that simple methods could not separate Yan Huan and Sakura Miyako.

How could her own daughter, who was so naive in many ways, possibly be a match for these girls?
She soon had to leave Linmen, and before that...
It seems that she, as a mother, has no choice but to take drastic measures.

“So that’s how it is”

Thinking this, Elvira's expression changed slightly.

She rubbed her fingers together; though it was just a few simple words, they carried an immense sense of oppression.

Sakura Miyabi pursed her lips, but still took a deep breath.

Clever as she was, she anticipated Elvira's thoughts.
"Besides, Auntie, although I know you may not agree with what I'm saying, this is ultimately a private matter between us."

"The matter of being the lead dancer is the same as matters of the heart. I believe the president chose me because he likes me."

"I apologize if the president's liking for me causes anyone any displeasure."

"Just like now, whether my aunt calls me over to stand up for Spencer, or whatever revenge she may take for Spencer later, I will understand and accept it."
"However, I will absolutely not sit idly by and wait to die."

No matter how flawed Hitomi Sakuramiya is, who possesses the superpower of creating barriers, she will not accept that her love will be disturbed by external factors.

She had already made so many mistakes, and she didn't want to make any more from now on.

This is Hitomi Sakuramiya's bottom line.

As she spoke, she looked directly into Elvira's eyes and said softly,

"As for Spencer, I can only wish her good health and good luck."

Before Elvira could even finish speaking, the large door to the penthouse behind her suddenly opened, revealing Spencer walking in, patting his belly and humming a tune.

"Mom, I'm home! The steak down there is so delicious, I ate so many pieces."

"."

Upon hearing this, Hitomi Sakura's originally impassioned expression stiffened slightly.

She turned her head blankly and saw Spencer, who was sunny and cheerful and seemed not to have fully eaten, looking at her.

"Oh, Hitomi Sakuramiya! What brings you here?!"

"."

isn't it? !

My words are so accurate?!

I was just saying, I didn't really wish you "constant good luck"!!
You're always so lucky! What if you suddenly become arrogant and domineering?!
But Hitomi Sakura immediately realized something and quickly turned to look at Elvira.

He didn't speak, but his wide eyes clearly conveyed a question:
"This is what you mean by losing your appetite?!"

Despite Sakuramiya Hitomi's questioning, Elvira's expression remained unchanged, as if she were responding silently.
"So what if I can't eat or drink?"

"."

Hitomi Sakuramiya was completely speechless.

This woman, for the sake of her daughter, has no shame at all?!
Elvira's arrival didn't disrupt her rhythm at all; she simply nodded and replied to what Sakuramiya Hitomi had said earlier.

"Okay, it's good that you understand. Hopefully, neither you nor Yan Huan will regret the choices you made today."

"Goo~"

Feeling Elvira's blatant intimidation, Sakura Miyako couldn't help but swallow hard.

After all, she couldn't guess what Elvira's methods would be.

But it's not hard to imagine that she probably has a thousand ways to get revenge.

It's good for me, but it's not good for the president.
Can a barrier really solve everything?

"Ow?"

At this moment, the atmosphere on the field gradually became heavy.

Behind her, Aruya's clear eyes glanced at her mother on the left, then at Sakura Miyato on the right, who was pursing her lips and sweating slightly on her forehead, as if she had instinctively sensed something.

She blinked, and the next second she suddenly stood next to Sakura Miyabi and took her hand.

"Snapped!"

"Hey?"

Sakuramiya Hitomi was stunned when Spencer suddenly pulled her along.

She quickly looked at Spencer beside her, only to see her looking at Elvira and saying...

"Mom, don't yell at her, she's my friend!"

"!!"

Sakuramiya Hitomi opened her mouth in surprise, while Elvira, who had been calm and composed until now, showed an expression that couldn't hold back for the first time after hearing these words, her face immediately darkening.
"."

She really had this feeling of desperately trying to salvage her own daughter's victory, wanting to destroy the opponent's crystal and help her win.
But her own daughter was still worried about whether killing the enemy's top laner would affect her gaming experience.
At this moment, Elvira, sitting on the sofa, truly had doubts.
If that day ever comes, my daughter and Yan Huan, who has reformed, will walk down the aisle.

Following the Eastern customs of Yan Huan's family, they planned to offer themselves a toast, but as soon as they filled the cups, they burned themselves out in front of them and completely transformed into relics.

Meanwhile, Areya, like a best friend, held Sakuramiya Hitomi's hand and continued explaining to her mother.
"Back in Sakura Country, she and Yan Huan helped me with my homework!"
"And she even helped me reconcile with Anle, who is my best friend!"

"Sakuramiya Hitomi is very nice, I like her very much!"

After Ariya said that, Elvira's face darkened, but Sakura Miyato blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

I.
Am I really that good?

Oh, this is really...
Sorry, Areya, I was just wishing you good luck, but you...
After that, I must invite you to be my bridesmaid at my wedding with the president!

"Arya, do you know what she and Yan Huan did that night at the High Table Banquet?"

However, Elvira simply couldn't bear to listen anymore.

She rubbed her temples, hesitated several times, but finally couldn't hold back and spoke.

"Oh, what's wrong?"

"Leading the dance at the high table banquet signifies a confession. In other words, she has proven to everyone that Yan Huan likes her!"

Elvira spoke in a deep voice, trying to explain the seriousness of the matter to her daughter.

Hearing the words "to prove to everyone that Yan Huan likes her," even though the atmosphere should have been tense, Sakura Miyako still blushed and became embarrassed.

"Ow?"

Upon hearing this, Areya looked at Sakura Miyato beside her.

Unexpectedly
There was no particular expression on her face.

Whether it's anger, sadness, or resentment.
Instead, she simply looked at Sakuramiya Hitomi with a normal expression and suddenly said,

“But Mom needs to dance to prove that Yan Huan likes her, but I don’t need to.”

The moment these seemingly ordinary words left her lips, Sakura Miyako, who had been all smiles and shyness, froze on the spot.

Sakura Miya stared blankly at Areya beside her. Areya's calm tone was like a haunting whisper, lingering in Sakura Miya's ears and refusing to leave.
"She needs to dance to prove Yan Huan likes her, but I don't need to."

"She needs to dance to prove Yan Huan likes her, but I don't need to."

"She needs to dance to prove Yan Huan likes her, but I don't need to."

These simple yet highly aggressive words instantly pierced through "Sakuramiya Hitomi," making her eager to retaliate.

but.
As she spoke, Areya's eyes showed no ill emotions, only a clear and innocent expression.

Weird and strange?

Just said in anger?

None.
She seemed to be a champion who had stood behind the finish line from beginning to end, watching herself run and compete for second place, stating such a simple fact.

Instead, it caused Sakuramiya Hitomi to show a vulnerable expression.

"woo"

Previously, Sakura Miyako had remained steadfast despite Elvira's threats and inducements, but now her face flushed red, and she pouted, revealing a helpless and angry expression.

Even from deep within her throat, she couldn't help but let out a cute whimper.

"Huh? What's wrong, Sakuramiya?"

Seeing the helpless expression on Sakuramiya Hitomi's face, Areya blinked, realized something was wrong, and quickly asked what was wrong.

"You...you let go of my hand... Waaah!"

At this moment, Sakura Miyako, who had lost her composure, only wanted to pull her hand away from the terrifying golden bomb pig king.

But with such little strength, how could she possibly be a match for Ariya? So no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pull her away. She could only try to break through Ariya's defenses while maintaining a "best friend stance" with her.

"Hahaha"

Seeing this, Elvira was slightly taken aback, but couldn't help but smile.

Hearing Elvira laugh, Sakura Miyako felt her face flush.

She felt that she had been set up by the mother and daughter today.

Areya was also puzzled, but Elvira looked at Sakuramiya Hitomi's daughter who had directly overpowered her and couldn't help but show a thoughtful expression.

She had always thought that her daughter, being so naive, would be easily bullied by these girls.
Elvira wanted to resolve everything for her in advance so that she wouldn't feel wronged.

But now it seems.
My daughter is probably much stronger than I thought, and she knows a lot about things.

In that case
"Sakuramiya Hitomi, do you want to hear what my revenge is?"

Elvira's words left the disgruntled Sakura Miyako with no choice but to turn and look at her.

She smiled faintly and looked at her daughter, saying...
"Arya, starting today, you'll also be doing your internship with Yan Huan."

"That department will only have the two of you."

Arya nodded without hesitation.
"Okay!"

Sakura Miyako's eyes widened as she felt the massive hand of Elvira Capital crushing over her head.

"what?"

Is Aruya going to Golden Lion Group for an internship?

What's the difference between that and becoming emperor right here?!

Moreover, if that department only has the two of them working one-on-one...
That.
What about me? !
"Boss, should we invite Bai Yi up for a meeting?"

Before long, only Elvira and her secretary remained on the top floor, holding a glass of red wine. Areya had gone for a nap, while Sakuramiya Hitomi had been sent back to her internship, completely unaware of what awaited her.

At that moment, the secretary behind him glanced at her phone and asked this question.

Elvira thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Go ahead and meet me, and while you're at it, bring me what I asked you to prepare."

"Okay, boss."

The secretary turned and left, and soon returned carrying a silver box, which she placed on one side of the sofa.

"Ding dong~"

Not long after, the door opened again, revealing Bai Yi, a beautiful young woman who hadn't finished her makeup yet.

She pursed her lips, looking somewhat reserved, clearly unsure why she had been invited up.

"dong dong dong~"

She knocked on the door to indicate that she was disturbing them.

"Please come in."

Elvira looked at the stunningly beautiful Eastern girl, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.

She was recalling information about this girl that she had seen before.

"Ma'am, what can I do for you?"

Bai Yi knew Ariya's mother, so he naturally knew her identity.

"Well, sit down."

Elvira gestured for her to sit down, and Bai Yi sat down hesitantly.

"I've come to see you about Yan Huan."

Before Elvira could speak, Bai Yi immediately stood up aloofly and said righteously,

"Auntie, Yan Huan and I are over!"

"."

Elvira raised an eyebrow, looking at Bai Yi with an expression that seemed to say "we're breaking up with each other," but still calmly said,
"Why don't you let me finish what I have to say?"

"No need to say anything more, Auntie! Yan Huan's matter has nothing to do with me now! I've already dumped that scumbag!"

"You dumped me?"

"Ok!"

Bai Yi nodded, making a solemn vow.
"Besides, I'm focused on my work now and don't care much about these things."

"you"

Elvira looked at Bai Yi, who was making such a confident statement, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a little unsure how to evaluate him.

She seemed to be completely immersed in her own world.

But Bai Yi, who had already transformed into a cold and aloof goddess, couldn't care less about anything else. She simply tossed her beautiful hair and continued with an air of dignified composure.
"Auntie, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"Okay, go ahead."

Bai Yi nodded, then turned and left with a dashing air, leaving without a trace.

This is Bai Yi's way of reforming!
"."

Behind her, Elvira patted the silver briefcase beside her, paused for a second, and then placed it on the table.

That was a box full of US dollars.

Originally, she intended to give the money to Bai Yi, who was essentially her mother, to completely sever her relationship with Yan Huan.

He tried several times to ask her for the money.

But she interrupted each time.
Well, she doesn't even want the money, so what can Elvira say?

Elvira rested her chin on her hand, thinking to herself.

Thus, only Yan Huan and An Le remained.

To be honest, Anle is too low-key. Rationally speaking, she has no competitiveness among the others.

For some reason, Elvira's instincts told her that the girl was the one who needed the most attention.

"."

However, she doesn't have much time left to stay in Linmen.

How should I punish you?
"The Greedy Little Boy, Yan Huan"

Elvira tapped her fingers, her gaze wistful as she murmured this phrase.

"Ah!"

At that moment, at the entrance of the Golden Lion Group building, Yan Huan suddenly sneezed.

He wiped his nose and complained to Meow-chan with some resentment.
"Could it be that I didn't have lunch at Ye's International and that made Ye Shiyu angry?"

"Meow?"

Yes, Yan Huan felt that Ye Shiyu was acting strangely in the morning.

Although she said she didn't mind having dinner with Yuanlina, everyone knows she's not that simple.

So, around noon, I simply made up an excuse to "go to the Golden Lion Group to familiarize myself with the environment" and slipped away.

Since everyone is here, he does need to come and make some plans for the future.

"Ding, please proceed."

Due to the special nature of her department, Yan Huan has employee badges from two different companies, both of which can be opened normally.

He stood at the elevator entrance on the first floor and glanced at the layout of each department.

"Golden Lion Entertainment. Hmm, thankfully, it's just one floor below my department. Should I go check that out first?"

With that thought in mind, Yan Huan stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the floor where Golden Lion Entertainment was located.

It was lunch break, and everyone was going downstairs, so Yan Huan was the only one in the elevator going upstairs.

"Ding dong~"

With a soft sound, Yan Huan quickly arrived at this floor.

This floor has an internal atrium, meaning several floors are openwork. After all, the height of many venues set up for programs cannot completely match the floor height, so they have to be opened up.

Looking up from here, you can see that their work area is separated by glass railings.

Conversely, if you walk from Yan Huan's workplace to the edge of the fence and look down, you can see the lively entertainment venue below.

"Um, the previous teachers' makeup and styling are almost done, is Miss Bai Yi's makeup and styling ready yet?"

"Sorry, Bai Yi was called away for something just now."

"Ah, I don't care about that, it's almost lunch break, hurry up."

"Uh-huh."

Yan Huan's gaze was drawn to the sound of conversation, and she looked over there. At the edge of the floor, Bai Yi's agent had set up a temporary dressing table and was doing her makeup.

What about the other popular idol guests?
Yes, it seems they have a dedicated dressing room.

The entertainment industry in Linmen is also characterized by a strict hierarchy, where status determines everything.

After all, Bai Yi is the least famous among them, and she's still a newcomer.
"You stinky Yan Huan, it's all your fault, it's all your fault, hmph!"

No, why is this my fault?
Watching Bai Yi intently applying makeup in front of the mirror, Yan Huan could read the words of self-reproach in her muttered lips.

He was a little nervous, but when he thought about how he had deceived her before, he couldn't help but smile helplessly.

Little did he know that his smile instantly attracted the attention of someone nearby.

"Ah, wait...wait a minute! You over there...you...you..."

A woman's voice suddenly rang out beside her, attracting Yan Huan's attention.

"Ok?"

Yan Huan was slightly taken aback. She turned her head and saw a beautiful stranger with makeup on, staring at her with wide eyes and an incredulous expression.

She had long, pink hair and wore colored contact lenses, making her eyes look big and sparkly, just like those of a famous Chinese actress.

Behind her were many employees of the Golden Lion Group.

It seems.
Is he a guest invited by this variety show?

"you are?"

Yan Huan didn't recognize the person, but the girl pursed her lips and asked with some doubt,

"Excuse me, are you... are you Yan Huan?"

"Yes, this is Yan Huan. What can I do for you?"

"As expected! I knew I couldn't be wrong!! Brother Yan Huan!!"

"what?"

"It's me! Lemon, that's my stage name now. I'm Li Jia, we grew up together at the South District Orphanage."

The stunningly beautiful girl before him was so excited she could hardly express herself, her hands trembling as if trying to say something.

"Lijia?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan blinked and thought for a few seconds before remembering.

When Yan Huan was a child, there was indeed a very cute girl in the orphanage. At that time, Yan Huan had just started elementary school.

Because of her cute appearance, she was spotted at first glance by a couple from Sakura Country who came to visit, and they adopted her.

"Ah, I remember now, Li Jia. I didn't expect that after all these years, you would still remember me."

"Of course I remember! When I was in the orphanage, my happiest moment was waiting for Brother Guan Yanhuan to bring me lollipops after school every day!"

Hearing this, Yan Huan felt a little embarrassed and had no choice but to change the subject.
"How have you been these past years in Sakura Country?"

"Yes! My adoptive parents are very good to me. And now, my name is Takimura Rika!"

She smiled sweetly, her little face flushed, and she looked extremely cute.

"He debuted in Sakura Country before, acted in a few works, and gained some popularity. Recently, he was invited to Linmen to film a variety show, and I didn't expect to see Brother Yan Huan here again. What a coincidence!"

Speaking of which, Takimura Rika's words reminded Yan Huan of the well-known name "Lemon".

Lemon is the biggest star among all the guests on this variety show; no one can surpass her.

Compared to Bai Yi, who has just become famous, she is nothing.

Rika Takimura debuted as a child star in Japan at a very young age, playing an adorable little girl in an action movie starring a Japanese film emperor, melting the hearts of audiences across Japan.

Thus, he became famous overnight and became popular throughout the entire Cherry Blossom Country.

The movie star also admired her, and afterwards he not only invited her to join his company, but also continued to allocate resources to promote her.

To this day, she is a household name in Linmen, Yingguo, and Longguo.
The younger generation, in particular, absolutely adore her!
"."

Over there, a slight commotion arose from the conversation between Lemon and Yan Huan.

The sound reached Bai Yi's ears as she stood by the window putting on makeup.

She blinked, then instinctively turned her head away.
Upon seeing the two of them, Bai Yi's aloof demeanor instantly crumbled, transforming her back into a chubby pink pufferfish.
"That ugly-faced Huan!!"
