About the fact that I accidentally turned my sister into a cripple

Chapter 372 As Father and Elder Brother, Tianhai Maodian Faced an Unable Choice
Port area, Xinqiao office business circle.

There are many high-rise buildings, and the dazzling sunlight illuminates the glass curtain walls of the high-rise buildings a little dazzlingly.

The main office of Asuka Law Firm.

Tianhai Maodian locked the lawsuit materials in a drawer, crossed his hands on the desk, closed his eyes, and rubbed the space between his brows.

A series of details about the contract dispute were recalled in his mind. He couldn't remember how many times he helped the old man wipe his ass. I started to help the family company to deal with various disputes.

bother.

This time the contract dispute was clearly due to the fact that a sub-brand company within the group did not pay the money, but had to come forward to collect information for the family members to defend.

Because of this dispute, I effectively avoided some information, which caused the case to be delayed again and again.

Also because the company on the family side has a fairly high brand reputation and influence, that small business has been affected by public opinion and media opinion. If it continues, there will be problems in the company's operation, and it has no choice but to withdraw the lawsuit.

However, this is only a dispute on the surface.

In fact, it was because the products of small companies disrupted the market already occupied by sub-brands, and Tianhaijia suppressed them.

This is the reality, and it is difficult for a capable and talented team to exert its due strength.

In business, companies need to face not only customers, but also large enterprises that have already occupied high ground.

I have seen this kind of thing countless times in Tianhai's house.

Thinking back to when I was young and chose to be a lawyer, I also saw too much of this kind of ruthless suppression, and I chose the path out of a sense of justice.
Tianhai Maodian still remembers that a college student who just graduated from a law school asked himself not long ago that the Asuka Firm has always provided a fairly high level of free legal assistance for small businesses. May I ask why Mr. Tianhai still has a sense of justice in his heart? ?

"Perhaps so."

Tianhai Maodian could only answer in this way, and he basically didn't help Tianhai's family with anything.

But now that the old man arranges such a "evil" case for himself, Tianhai Maodian understands that the old man is also suppressing his original intention.

He suddenly chose to agree to the old man, also because of the quarrel some time ago, and the regress between each other.

Otherwise, it is impossible for Qiyue and Liuli to still be studying in Mingde Yishu.

Tianhai Maodian got up, put on the briefcase, and immediately left the office.

He bid farewell to his colleagues (employees) in the firm along the way, and then went to the restaurant downstairs. He waited until [-]:[-] pm, and he didn't go home with her until Tian Haimeihe officially left work as a manager.

"Actually, you don't have to wait for me like this every time."

"got used to."

Riding on the elevator with his wife, Tianhai Maodian saw Tianhai Meihe's smile in front of him.

If you say why did you choose her?
That's probably why she often shows such a simple smile in front of her.

Tianhai Maodian stared at the constantly flashing LED panel in the elevator, and saw the reflection of Tianhaimei and her smile on the metal surface of the elevator
He suddenly felt a little emotional.

Review your own life.

I have always been serious, stern, and very serious.

Elementary school, middle school, high school, college, all the time
There are quite a few friends, but most of them are people who have the same views on learning and knowledge, and most of the people I make friends with are also descendants of aristocratic families.

He suddenly discovered that no one could ever smile in front of him.

Whether it's the father, whether it's the sister, whether it's the two daughters.
The communication between everyone is only a few words and a few words, and it has a high purpose. Although this purpose makes the communication efficient, it also makes the communication nothing but the purpose
Speaking of which, the first time I met Bertha was when she was playing the piano, and she smiled at herself in the audience, right?

The same is true for Hemeihe, when she picked up her work card, she gave it back to her, and she smiled to herself.

"Tonight, do you want me to make you a separate meal?"

Tianhai Maodian turned his head and found that Tianhai Meihe had hugged his right arm, closed his eyes, and said something in a mature female voice.

"Don't think about those annoying things."

".Sorry for worrying you again."

"It's nothing, this is not a matter of course? Maodian, you are too polite to people, causing everyone to think that you are very serious, so people who talk to you are only willing to talk to you about serious things. Your birthday the day after tomorrow, I also I asked for leave specially, how about I take you out for a walk? Just relax."

When Tianhai Maodian heard what his wife said to him, he smiled inadvertently.

"What are you laughing at?"

"It's just that we are both in our 40s, but we still have to travel together on our birthday like young couples."

"Mao Dian, in his 40s, in fact, looking back at the past, it was only a momentary thing. Sometimes when I am busy with things, I will inadvertently think about what it is that wiped out all the longings I had when I was young. ? When Ale and Aling were young, I always wanted to take them out to see more of the world. Now, because I didn’t take care of them since childhood, I feel a little embarrassed to travel with them.”

Tianhai Meihe sighed.

"Now, I always find it very strange. A Le can handle everything properly at home, but I can't find a sense of presence at home. My feeling for them now is that I can help as much as I can. But they don't seem to need me at all, they are too independent."

The wife also has troubles.

And this trouble is no different from myself.

They all have emotional lack and psychological embarrassment towards their children.

"Meihe."

"Ok?"

"What do you think I should do about Ale?" Tianhai Maodian knew that his wife didn't know that the old man wanted to take away her custody, and felt a little guilty in his heart.

The two walked out of the elevator together and walked down the busy commercial street.

Going to go for a walk and go straight home.

The wind at eight o'clock in the night in Tokyo Bay has a hint of heat.

"They are all back to school now, right? What did your father say?"

Tianhai Maodian pondered, "My father certainly does not agree with that bastard's idea, but he will let it go for now."

"."

For the two of them, this incident put them in an extremely embarrassing situation.

One is that Sakakihara Raku is Miwa's son, and Qiyue Ruri is Maonian's daughter.

Meihe is supposed to stand by her son, but because of her son's wrongdoing, she bears a certain amount of psychological pressure.

Tianhai Maodian took this into consideration, he didn't want to blame his wife at all.

"The things between them are not something that you and I can control. Being independent means that they have their own ideas. And because we are too far away from them in life, they basically don't think about us. You don't need to think too much about Xiaole, Meihe, I don't mean to blame you at all."

"But" the hair on Tian Haimeihe's forehead was blown up by the wind on the sea surface of Tokyo Bay, and the two walked under the white light of the city street lights, "Xiao Le will do this, and I have the responsibility of being a mother."

"Xiao Le's fault is not his alone. Both Qiyue and Liuli have their own faults in it. The current situation is caused by the fact that their relationship with each other has not been properly handled and they are inseparable. I don't like Xiao Le. But I also understand that his example is not completely equivalent, but from my father's perspective, if Bertha and I have to choose between July and Liuli when fighting for custody, I will be very happy. Difficult to choose."

Tianhai Maodian sighed.

"This is also my responsibility, so needless to say, I agreed to let Qiyue and Liuli go back to Ale's class, and I also saw that their relationship began to return to the state before they returned."

".But neither Xiao Qi nor Xiao Jiu gave up their relationship with A Le."

"That's right." Hearing his wife's words, Tianhai Maodian sighed again, "I have been a lawyer for so many years, and I understand that there are not only two solutions to things, and there is always room for compromise and negotiation, so let's do it first."

"But Mao Dian, A Le and Xiao Qi Xiao Jiu are all young people, I'm afraid—"

Amami Maodian looked up at the walking path beside Tokyo Bay in front of him, was silent for a moment, and then said slowly:

"In this regard, I think the three of them still have a sense of proportion."

"En." Tianhai Meihe also nodded.

*
Walk all the way home.

Opening the door, Tian Haimeihe walked up to the hallway first, took the briefcase and the suit jacket that had been taken off from her husband, and brought him a pair of slippers.

Tianhai Maodian saw her bending down to hand him the slippers, and said to her, "You don't have to be so serious every time, you know. I don't like this feeling of inequality."

"It's okay," Tian Meihe didn't care at all, hugging his suit jacket, and smiled at him, "This is just the wife's unique love for her husband."

"."

These words silenced Tianhai Maodian.

"We're back."

With Tianhai Meihe shouting into the spacious living room, Tianhai Maodian followed her in.

He found that the TV in the living room was on, broadcasting a variety show, and beside the coffee table, Sakakibara Ling and Amami Yuki put their heads together, as if they were studying something.

"Huh?" Tian Haimeihe looked left and right, very surprised. She asked Sakakihara Ling who was looking over, "It's Friday today, how many of them are Ale? Go out for a run?"

"do not know."

Sakakibara Suzu, who was sitting with Tianhai Zhixue, glanced at her mother and uncle, and answered with a pen in both hands, "The three of them said they were going to go somewhere to play in the afternoon, and then they never came back."

"Where did you go?" Tian Haimeihe asked, and hung the suit on the hanger in the living room.

Suzu Sakakibara poked her chin with the cap of her pen, and her short short hair swayed gently on her shoulders, "It seems to be a city called Musashi or something, and they go out on a motorcycle."

"Musashimurayama City?" Amami Maonori interrupted suddenly after loosening his tie.

"Ah, that's it!" Sakakihara Suzu nodded.

Tianhai Meihe asked Tianhai Maodian: "What kind of place is this?"

Tianhai Maodian glanced at Tianhai Zhixue who was still writing something, and then replied to his wife:
"The old man built a manor here for my mother alone. It is a gift for my mother. It is a very quiet suburb. You can choose this place if you want to go on vacation or family outing when you have nothing to do. There are also several beautiful flower seas to see over there .”

"Then dad is really romantic." Tian Haimei covered his mouth with his hands.

"Only for my mother"

Tianhai Maodian wanted to sigh, but he asked Tianhai Zhixue again:

"Zhixue, did they ask you to take the key in July?"

"It's done." Tianhai Zhixue suddenly stopped the pen in his hand.

"Oh! It's beautiful! It's so beautiful! No wonder Aunt Zi praised Yuki for your talent!" Sakakihara Ling glanced sideways and clapped her hands for encouragement.

"what?"

Tianhai Maodian was a little unresponsive, but then, he saw his youngest sister, barefoot, holding a piece of paper in front of him.

"For my brother."

"."

Tianhai Maodian took the A4 size paper handed by his sister.

this is a sketch
A sketch of a fairly high level of completion and quality.

What I draw is myself.

The person in the painting sits at the dining table at home and enjoys dinner with his wife, Tianhai Meihe, who sits opposite.

The picture is dim, as if the lights in the room are not turned on.

Most of himself is shown sideways in the picture, with suits and briefcases hanging on the stool beside him.

The expression is meticulous, and even the action of eating is extremely serious.

Tianhai Meihe also moved her head closer. When she saw the painting, she thought she was surprised by the fineness of the painting, and then recognized what scene it was.

"...The scene where we go home after overtime work at night, and then I cook for Maodian alone?"

"Ah."

Tianhai Maodian has a very high cultural appreciation.

I immediately understood what the painting was trying to express.

Tianhai Maodian put down the painting from his hand, and looked at his younger sister who looked like a daughter in front of him.

She was also looking at herself, and said to herself:
"My brother's birthday is the day after tomorrow."

"Is this a birthday present?"

"Um"

birthday present
When Tianhai Maodian saw the painting in his hand, he was filled with emotion.

The relationship between myself and my daughters is not very good, and they would still give me gifts before, but because every time I would think of the fact that I didn’t take good care of them, he basically didn’t say anything after receiving them. The main purpose is to intentionally go Reject the kindness of my daughters, because I am ashamed to receive it.

The last time you received a birthday present from your daughter was eight years ago, right?

Unexpectedly, it has been so long.

Looking at the obviously delicate sketch in his hand, Tianhai Maodian actually felt that the character in the painting, that self who had to look extremely serious when eating in the middle of the night, was lightly drawn on the paper.

"I gave this to tell my brother not to be so tired. Most of the time, brother and aunt go home for dinner when everyone is asleep. I thought about it with Ling."

Tianhai Meihe quickly said with a smile to Tianhai Zhixue and Ah Ling: "It seems that you really have intentions."

In other words, this is a gift from my sister and stepdaughter, right?
Tianhai Maodian held the painting with both hands, looked at the people in the painting, and then at the face of his little sister.

It was an expression waiting for a response from itself.

He remembered that the old man said that Zhixue also liked Xiaole?

What is Na Zhixue's attitude towards Xiao Le?

He recalled the past and found that he and his youngest sister didn't have much interaction in life.

Zhixue lived and grew up in Tianhai's family, and because of her birth defect, she had to see a doctor every once in a while.

Tianhai Maodian still remembers that once when he went to see her by himself, she sat on the hospital bed after the examination by herself and looked out the window alone.

It was a colorless, blank gaze. She seemed to be overlooking the world, staring at a place that does not exist in this world.

As for her memory, that is, she would only hug the guitar left by her mother and learn music alone in the room.

Because she always forgets things, she has to start over many times when learning music.
People's ridicule of fools is always reflected inadvertently.

It can be seen from the fact that "fool" is a curse word.

And those few younger sisters of my own also have a different perspective on this kind of snow.
Although I can't blame Zhixue for my mother's death, I don't seem to have given Zhixue a birthday present.
"Brother doesn't like it?"

"No," Tianhai Maodian said, and put his hand on her shoulder, patted her and smiled at her, "I like it very much."

It was said very harshly.
The stiff part is that Zhixue's voice is very kind brother.
The word "brother" made Tianhai Maodian start to examine whether he was qualified to be Zhixue's brother in his heart.

How long ago did you call your little sister like this?

More than 30 years ago, right?
Only at the age when she was still in primary school, would my sister call herself that?
Ugh.
The old man's pain in Zhixue was not unreasonable.

If the old man doesn't feel pain anymore, who else in this world will help her?

She lost her mother since she was a child, and her father didn't like her at first. As a young lady, she was secretly ridiculed by those in the family, and even her brothers and sisters looked at her with supercilious eyes.
She has always been alone, huddled in a corner holding the guitar her mother left her, learning knowledge that is often forgotten.
hand.

Some touched Tianhai Zhixue's head unconsciously.

When Tianhai Maodian saw the younger sister who had regained her glory because of coming to this family, it was even more difficult for Tianhai Maodian to accept the identity of his elder brother.

Compared to her blood brother, Xiao Le is her elder brother, right?
It was also said in July.

Xiao Le tirelessly taught her common sense, taught her how to live, taught her not to run around alone, taught her to study, and Xiao Le also took the initiative to take care of Guo Zhixue's video account that had no fans at the beginning. I have a music account on a video website, and I used to contribute articles every day. After a few years, I have thousands of articles, but only more than 50 followers.

It was Xiaole who helped her make videos that made her account take off.

"Well, thank you, Xue."

"As long as brother likes it."

"."

Seeing that Amami Zhixue who sent the painting went back to play with Sakakibara Suzu, Amami Maonian couldn't help but clenched his hands as she gave him the painting.

There is no doubt that if you want to make your daughter happy.

Zhixue had to leave.

But you who have never done anything, can you say to Zhixue that you have to leave this house?

Not only did I not give anything to this family, but I also didn't give anything to Zhixue. If I didn't give anything, how could I ask for her?
Are you going to send her back to that family again?
The old man also said sharply that if Zhixue was sent back, she wouldn't be able to stay in school either.

She could only be arranged by the old man to marry a rich boy whom she had never met.

"You expect to see such a situation? You said that you want your daughter to be free from the family's marriage arrangements, so do you agree that your sister will be arranged by the family? I don't want to find a rich boy, you find someone to take care of her ? Who is qualified? Can you guarantee that the person you are looking for will take care of her for the rest of her life?"

——At that time, I was arguing with the old man, and the words that the old man tapped his fingers were deafening.

As for why not just arrange someone who can take care of Zhixue?

This matter is like knowing that there is a piece of gold in the sea, and it is as difficult to dive to get it.

I want to find someone who meets the old man's standards, who must be talented and considerate. What kind of rich man is this?

This is not taking into account the fact that Tianhai Zhixue already likes Xiao Le's wishes.

Forcing her to change, is it different from doing something wrong?

What's more, the old man wanted Xiaole to marry Zhixue with righteous words, he was as stubborn as a donkey.

He felt that he could spit out blood all over the old man's face in one breath.

From the perspective of a father, I hope that I can be good for my daughter now.

From the elder brother's point of view, I hope that I can be good for my sister now.

choice is contradictory, dilemma
Tianhai Maodian is really tired.

He felt that if there was something more, he really couldn't hold on anymore.
It's all kind of nasty contradictions
"Mao Dian, have you thought about work again?" Tian Haimeihe put down the phone that had just received the message, and saw her husband's status.

"It's okay, it's okay." Tianhai Maodian tried his best to calm down, and waved his hand towards his caring wife, "It's just that I thought of a lot of things through Zhixue's painting. Will Xiao Le and the others come back today?"

"I don't think so. Just now A Le sent me a message saying that he was playing late there and was going to stay in the manor overnight. The dishes are all ready. Are they going out to play this time to repair their relationship?"

"Probably, forget it. Don't think about them."

"Well, what do you want to eat today, I'll make one for you. There are still a lot of ingredients prepared by A Le in the refrigerator."

"Grill the fish, can I have some more tempura? I want to drink some beer today."

"It's all right. I'll do it right away. I'll go downstairs and buy you some wine. I'll drink with you." Tian Haimei smiled.

Tianhai Maodian went to see his smiling wife, "Thank you."

"Hey, what are you doing politely?"
