A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Sumireko Sanshokuin said, "If you have already had breakfast, you can go now. Of course, you can come along too. If it's just my husband and me going, you'll be left alone at home."

Kusami Tsuki felt a little awkward and said, "But is it appropriate for me to go? I don't have any direct relationship with my uncle and aunt. I can't exactly say that I'm just here to watch the fun, can I?"

Sumireko Sanshokuin said, "Even if you really just want to watch the show, I don't mind. I don't have any of those 'family scandals shouldn't be aired in public' beliefs here. They chose this outcome themselves, and people will find out sooner or later that they're divorced."

Sumireko Sanshokuin is very open-minded about such things because she has someone to rely on. Even if her original family falls apart, she will not be homeless because she has Li Wei. It is because she has confidence that she can remain so calm when facing her parents' divorce.

Through Li Wei's account, Sumireko learned what had happened the previous night. In her opinion, leaving Kusamizuki alone at home at this time would be too pitiful for her. After all, Kusamizuki had just experienced such a sad event and needed Li Wei's comfort. She would definitely feel uncomfortable without Li Wei by her side.

Sumireko Sanshokuin is an exceptionally intelligent girl who understands how to see things from others' perspectives. She doesn't have the typical flaws of a rich young lady, which is why she is so understanding of Kusamizuki. After all, in a way, the two of them are in the same boat; compared to the other girls around Li Wei, their family backgrounds are far worse.

Kusamizuki said, "Then I'll have to go with you. Sumireko, you won't be able to regret it later."

Sanshokuin Sumireko laughed and said, "What's the big deal? It's not a life-threatening matter. Besides, having someone by my side gives me more confidence. By the way, my husband, please drive this time, and drive the best car. Otherwise, that snobbish couple might give you a hard time."

Li Wei nodded and said, "Okay, I told the driver to prepare to leave then. But speaking of which, I didn't expect my aunt and uncle to have such personalities."

Li Wei actually already knew about this, but in order to keep the girls from knowing that he had investigated them, he had to play dumb at this time.

Sumireko Sanshokuin sighed, "The souls of that couple have been completely corrupted by money. When I was young, they weren't like this at all. In just over ten years, they've become like this. It just goes to show how terrifying money can be."

Li Wei said, "What's scary isn't money, but people's hearts and desires. I've seen plenty of things like this before, but this is the first time I've encountered something like this happening to someone close to me. Before, I was just a bystander watching the show, but now that it's happening to someone close to me, I can't just be a bystander anymore. Jinzi, what level of action do I need to take?"

Sumireko Sanshokuin said, "Those two are currently fighting fiercely over the property and the custody of my brother. I only hope that you, my husband, can help them complete the divorce agreement smoothly and put this matter to rest."

Kusami Tsuki asked curiously, "Don't your uncle and aunt care about you, Sumireko? I only heard you say that they are fighting over who gets to have your younger brother, but what about you? Are they just going to stand by and watch?"

Sumireko Sanshokuin smiled bitterly, “Because my younger brother is still in elementary school and can’t take care of himself, that’s why the two of them are fighting over him. But I’m already a high school student, so I can live independently without any problem. So they agreed to give me a house, and each of them would give me 100,000 yen a month for living expenses until I turn thirty. If I still can’t live independently by the time I’m thirty, then in their eyes, such a social failure wouldn’t even deserve sympathy if I died.”

Kusami Tsuki thought about it. Although what Sanshokuin Sumireko's parents said was quite hurtful, their actions were quite gentle. In some divorced families, neither side wants to take care of the girl, and the living expenses are cut off when she turns ten. Sanshokuin Sumireko was able to receive living expenses from both sides until she turned thirty, which is an incredible thing for ordinary people.

Kusami Tsuki said, "Your aunt and uncle don't know yet, Sumireko, that you're leaving this world. But even if they did know, they probably wouldn't care too much now, since their focus is on how to separate."

Sumireko Sanshokuin said, “I know, so I have no attachment to this world. With no worries, I can go with my husband.”

·Requesting flowers·· ······

After waiting for Kusamizuki to finish breakfast, Sumireko Sanshokuin and Li Wei leisurely went out and got into the luxury car that was already waiting outside. They then drove towards another wealthy neighborhood on the other side of Tokyo. Although that neighborhood was not as upscale as this one, it would still be difficult for ordinary families with modest means to establish themselves there.

According to Li Wei's investigation, Sumireko Sanshokuin's parents have a total net worth of over ten million US dollars, which is roughly equivalent to over a billion yen in Japan. Compared to the top billionaires, this wealth is insignificant, but for ordinary people, it is an astronomical figure that is difficult to count.

For ordinary people, dividing up such an enormous amount of wealth in a short period of time is not an easy task.

Fortunately, despite their misfortune, both of them still harbored some affection and hope for each other. Therefore, even when it came to dividing their assets, they maintained considerable restraint. Unlike some ruthless wealthy families who would hire assassins to kill their spouses for money, Sumireko Sanshokuin's parents had the ability to do such a thing, but ultimately did not, which shows that there was still a certain tacit understanding between them.

... ......

After a half-hour drive, the car entered the affluent neighborhood and, following Sumireko Sanshokuin's directions, stopped in front of a mansion with a huge courtyard.

As the pedestrian got off the car, the middle-aged male butler, who was watering the flowers in the courtyard, jogged over, bowed to Sanshokuin Sumire, and said, "Miss, welcome home. These two must be your friends. I'll instruct the kitchen to prepare tea and snacks right away."

Sanshokuin Sumireko said, "Seisaku, I'm in trouble. Where are my parents?"

The butler, referred to as Saintly, said, "Master and Madam are currently in the study."

Sumireko Sanshokuin said, "I understand. You can go and do your own thing."

Kusami Tsuki watched the butler's retreating figure and said, "I heard my mother say that when she was a child, her family also had a butler."

Sumireko Sanshokuin laughed and said, "The Jo family is a very large family. I heard that they have hundreds of servants alone."

The three entered the house. Although this mansion was much worse than Li Wei's residence, it was still a noble residence that exuded wealth and luxury to ordinary people. Li Wei and Kusamizuki, led by Sanshokuin Sumireko, arrived at the reception room. The retro reception room even had a fireplace and display windows, giving people a feeling of stepping back in time.

Chapter 1. Getting Straight to the Point

Before long, the maid brought drinks and snacks to the reception room. Although the Sanshokuin family was not extremely wealthy, they still had quite a few servants. Normally, Sumireko Sanshokuin tried her best to hide her status as a young lady, so no one at school knew that she was not only beautiful, but also came from a family far better off than the average person.

Li Wei wasn't in a hurry. He knew that Butler Nian had already gone to find Sanshokuin Sumireko's parents. Although they were still arguing, as long as they had some basic manners, they wouldn't leave him waiting. So Li Wei wasn't worried about waiting for a long time.

Not long after, before Li Wei had even settled in, the couple walked in. It was the first time Li Wei had seen the couple from his original perspective. He had to admit that the couple's looks were undeniably stunning, given that they had given birth to a daughter like Sumireko Sanshokuin.

The average attractiveness of people in this world is much higher than that in the real world, and the Sanshokuin couple are exceptionally good-looking even in this world.

Sanshokuin Sumireko's father, Sanshokuin Masataka, was a middle-aged man with a gentle and elegant appearance. He had a short beard, which made his originally slightly effeminate face a bit more masculine. Sanshokuin Sumireko's mother, Sanshokuin Kagetsu, was a larger version of Sanshokuin Sumireko.

Sanshokuin Masataka had already heard from the butler that Li Wei's car was a limited-edition extended limousine that was difficult to identify and was rarely seen in Japan. However, the butler recognized the Bentley logo on the front of the car. Therefore, Sanshokuin Masataka treated Li Wei with great respect. He did not treat Li Wei as a junior because of his youth, but rather regarded him as a peer.

Sanshokuin Masataka smiled and said, "I am sorry to have failed to greet you properly. I was busy with some household chores and could not come out to greet you in time. Please forgive me."

It's said that you can't hit a smiling face. Li Wei knew what Sanshokuin Masataka was thinking and wanted to complain. This young man was indeed as Sanshokuin Sumireko said, a person with hidden motives. However, since the other party was treating him with great respect, he couldn't say anything sarcastic.

Li Wei laughed and said, "Uncle, you are such a busy person, with so many things to do every day, unlike me who is idle. On the contrary, it is I, an idle person, who has come to your door and disturbed your important business. I am the one who should apologize."

Sumireko Sanshokuin, standing nearby, wanted to complain inwardly. The scene before her reminded her of an image: an old fox and a young fox bowing to each other, neither of them being easy to deal with.

Sanshokuin Masataka gave his wife a look, and the two of them sat down opposite Li Wei in perfect unison. Li Wei wanted to complain inwardly, the way the couple acted so in sync showed no signs of them getting a divorce. Moreover, he realized that there was still room for negotiation. Both of them had very strong personalities, and if either of them had been willing to back down first, things wouldn't have escalated to the point where they had to get a divorce.

Li Wei decided to observe the couple first to see what their situation was like. If they really had serious problems, then they should get a divorce. However, through mind reading, Li Wei discovered that neither of them wanted to part with the other, but they were both waiting for the other to make the first move. Because both of them were highly skilled actors, even Sumireko Sanshokuin misjudged their relationship.

Sanshokuin Masataka smiled and asked, "May I ask how our honored guest is addressed?"

Li Wei smiled and said, "No need for formalities, I'm just a student from abroad. Uncle, do you have overseas business? Do you know Titan Heavy Industries?"

Upon hearing the name, Sanshokuin Masataka paused for a moment, but he quickly realized what he meant and cautiously asked, "Are you a VIP from Titan Heavy Industries?"

Li Wei laughed and said, "Titan Heavy Industries, Hyperion Technologies, Rheinmetall, and Atlas Dynamics are all backed by me."

Sanshokuin Masataka became serious. Although Li Wei's words were just empty promises and he had no way to verify them, it was better to believe them than not. In any case, it was best not to offend someone like Li Wei. Whether it was true or not could be investigated later. Right now, it was necessary to maintain harmony.

Li Wei laughed and said, "I know what I'm saying is exaggerated, and you might not believe it, Uncle. However, a big business deal will come your way tomorrow, and then you'll believe me."

Li Wei took the hand of Sanshokuin Sumireko, who was standing beside him. Sumireko obediently did not struggle, but looked at Li Wei with affection in her eyes.

As astute as Sanshokuin Masataka was, he naturally noticed his daughter's unusual behavior. He thought to himself, "My little darling has been taken by someone else after all," which left him feeling uneasy.

Not only Sanshokuin Masataka, but also Sanshokuin Kagetsu almost couldn't hide her surprise. It is said that no one knows a son better than his father and no one knows a daughter better than her mother. Sanshokuin Kagetsu knew her daughter very well. She knew that her daughter was an introverted and proud person, and the men who could catch her eye were very rare.

Sumireko Sanshokuin rejected the advances of many wealthy young men in the circle. Kagetsu Sanshokuin was still wondering what kind of shrew her daughter would choose. Unexpectedly, she actually caught a big fish, which was something she had not anticipated.

Sanshokuin Kagetsu was willing to believe Li Wei's words, because Li Wei had also said that a big business deal would come to the Sanshokuin family tomorrow. Whether Li Wei was a real eligible bachelor or an imposter, the day would tell.

Li Wei smiled and said, "Uncle, Aunt, Jinzi and I have already established a relationship and taken the final step, so now I can actually call you Father-in-law and Mother-in-law. I don't like to beat around the bush, so I'll get straight to the point. This time, I'm here to deal with some family matters."

Li Wei's words shocked the Sanshokuin couple. Neither of them had expected that their daughter had already given herself to Li Wei. This made them both angry and anxious, but they couldn't show it on the surface, which made them extremely frustrated.

Sanshokuin Masataka forced a smile and said, "I wonder what family matters you've come to handle this time, my dear son-in-law?"

Li Wei laughed and said, "I've already heard from Jinzi that you two are going through a divorce, right?"

The Sanshokuin couple couldn't keep their composure; their eyes were fixed on Sanshokuin Sumireko. If Li Wei hadn't been there, the two of them would have been playing "Dou Dizhu" (a card game) right now.

Sumireko Sanshokuin glared back defiantly. Now that she had Li Wei as her refuge, she was unwilling to be outdone by her parents, who were full of complaints. The atmosphere became somewhat awkward, and Kusami Tsuki, who was watching this scene, almost burst out laughing.

Chapter 4. The Truth Revealed

Li Wei wasn't going to waste time arguing with the other side without getting to the point. As the party with the advantage, he chose to proactively bring up the issue. This approach was simple and direct, but effective.

At least by putting the issue on the table from the beginning, the Sanshokuin couple wouldn't be able to avoid the topic, thus saving them the trouble of playing games.

Sanshokuin Masataka sighed and said, "I never expected Sumireko to tell you something like this. My dear son-in-law, you're not an outsider, so I won't hide it from you. I feel like I can't go on living like this anymore."

Li Wei laughed and said, "Father-in-law, are you joking with me? With the way you and mother-in-law are getting along so well, do you look like you can't make it work? Besides, if you say you can't make it work, there must be a reason."

Sanshokuin Masataka had been holding back his anger for some time, and now that he had someone to listen to, he couldn't help but start venting.

Li Wei listened attentively, and what he heard, from a male perspective, while not exactly annoying, certainly made him feel uncomfortable.

However, Li Wei also noticed the problem from his complaints. Not only him, but also Sanshokuin Sumireko and Kusamizuki had noticed the problem.

Ten minutes passed in a flash, and Sanshokuin Masataka, having had his fill of speaking, finally showed a relieved expression. As a successful entrepreneur, he didn't have any real friends, so he could only keep such thoughts to himself, and he couldn't even tell his daughter.

Now that he had a chance to vent his resentment, Sanshokuin Masataka naturally wouldn't let it go. He was completely unaware that Sanshokuin Kagetsu, sitting next to him, had her eyebrows raised and looked like she wanted to hit him.

Sanshokuin Masataka heard a cold voice beside him.

Sanshokuin Kagetsu said coldly, "Are you done? Then it's my turn."

Li Wei and the two girls looked at Sanshokuin Kagetsu, and then, after more than half an hour of complaining, the three of them were amazed, while Sanshokuin Masataka's expression grew increasingly grim. No one is perfect, and both sides' complaints were essentially poking at each other's backs, and it was also like a testimony, clarifying things they hadn't understood before—misunderstandings and simple mistakes.

Li Wei stroked his chin and whispered to Sumireko Sanshokuin beside him, "The situation seems a little different from what we thought. It's not that bad. It's just a simple personality issue between the two of them. As long as one of them gives in first, everything will be fine."

Sumireko Sanshokuin nodded in agreement. Their complaints were, in a sense, a way of showing affection. They had helped each other clean up each other's messes far too often, and since they were both a little proud, they couldn't bring themselves to say thank you. That's why resentment had accumulated in their hearts, leading to the current situation.

Kusami Tsuki whispered, "Sumiko, I feel like the problem between your aunt and uncle can be a big or small issue. If it's not discussed openly, it'll be a huge problem, but if it is, and either of them is willing to compromise first, then it won't be a big problem. Besides, do you really think your aunt and uncle have absolutely no feelings for each other?"

Previously, Sumireko Sanshokuin thought the conflict between the two had reached an irreconcilable point, but now it seems that they were both excellent actors, each trying to force the other to back down through these tactics. However, both are stubborn, resulting in a stalemate. If there were no real feelings involved, there wouldn't have been nearly an hour of public displays of affection.

After all, these two have a long history of swindling people in the business world by playing the role of a married couple. It's hard for outsiders to see through their deception unless they explain it themselves.

Even their daughter, Sumireko Sanshokuin, couldn't see through it, which led to a serious misjudgment.

Sanshokuin Kagetsu looked at her husband, while Sanshokuin Masataka shrank back. He had been so proud and arrogant when he was complaining, but now that things were clear, he was completely deflated.

Li Wei was also a little embarrassed and said, "Ahem, this kind of thing should be left to my father-in-law and mother-in-law to handle themselves. We juniors shouldn't meddle too much."

The two girls nodded repeatedly. Girls are far more sensitive than men, and they could both sense that Sanshokuin Kagetsu was about to take action. If they stayed there, Sanshokuin Kagetsu would not be able to vent her resentment.

The three of them practically ran out of the room, but after leaving, they didn't leave immediately. Instead, they pressed their faces against the door, eavesdropping.

Inside the room came Sanshokuin Kagetsu's slightly high-pitched voice.

"Is this how you see me?! You're not leaving this room until you give me an explanation!"

"My dear wife, I was wrong! Hey! Don't hit me! Don't hit me! I have a meeting this afternoon!"

"What does this have to do with me?! I was too lenient with you before, always giving you face, which is why you've become so arrogant and self-important! Now I won't be as gentle as before, so get back here!"

The three people hiding behind the door listened to the wails of Sanshokuin Masataka inside the room, their faces showing strange expressions, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh out loud.
