Professor Mu immediately tensed up. "A swarm of snakes?"
Cecilia Gu nodded. "Yes! Ah, did you all forget Jiro Hirayama's identity? He's a scientist—actually, a... well, a biochemistry scientist. He always carries snake and insect repellents with him, you know? Scientists tend to have these quirky habits. That injury was truly dangerous—broken ribs, and if it had gone a bit deeper, it would've hit the heart. If a rib pierced the heart, not even God could save you. Luckily, Jiro Hirayama arrived in time, otherwise Rona would've been swallowed by the snake swarm."
Professor Mu and Mrs. Mu broke out in a cold sweat.
"Sigh, actually, Jiro Hirayama may be from the Hirayama Family, but he's really a good person. Sure, he's a bit childish, but who hasn't been through that phase? The Hirayama Family has strict upbringing. He's never dated anyone before—Rona is his first love." Cecilia felt bitter inside; all she could do was play mediator, trying to persuade both sides.
If Rona Mu and Jiro Hirayama didn't have feelings for each other, she'd be happy to stay out of it.
But since they both have feelings and want to be together, everything's moving way too fast—the whole rhythm is thrown off!
Right now, aside from this approach, she really couldn't think of any better ideas!
At this moment, Cecilia Gu really missed Charles Yin.
Honey, how about you handle this for me?
But right now, Charles Yin really didn't have time to help.
Recently, after Charles Yin took down Clarence in Japan, the Clarence Family finally came knocking. Charles teamed up with Earl Field to keep the Clarence Family in check, but it did come at quite a cost.
But for Charles Yin, that price was nothing.
Anyone who hurt Cecilia Gu, no matter who they were, had to pay a hefty price.
So right now, Charles was busy dealing with the Clarence Family and prepping for the wedding, leaving Cecilia to handle this tricky situation on her own.
Hearing Cecilia say that, Professor Mu started to feel a little guilty.
It was all because his daughter just wasn’t good enough!
An old guy chasing after a young girl—and not just any young guy, but the second young master of a rich family!
Forget about the bride price; I just hope the groom’s family doesn’t hold it against us!
Anyway, my daughter’s almost thirty. Whatever—let her marry whoever she wants!
Let’s just pack her up and send her off quick!
After Professor Mu finally said what was on his mind, Cecilia Gu could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Oh man, this is really testing my patience!
Once she’d settled things with Professor Mu, Cecilia rushed over to Mr. Hirayama to check on how things were going.
Rona Muir was brought in front of Mr. Hirayama and his wife, and she immediately became way more well-behaved.
Rona knew a little Japanese, but she was far from fluent, so both sides just kind of stumbled through the conversation.
It wasn’t until Cecilia came over again that everyone finally relaxed.
The moment Rona saw Cecilia, she jumped up and ran over: “Cecilia, save me! My Japanese grammar is a disaster. Can you speak for me?”
Then Rona leaned in and asked sneakily, “Did you settle things with my parents?”
Cecilia shot her a look. “Settled. Your parents agreed to let you get married!”
“Really?” Rona’s eyes lit up.
