Zongman: Adopted by the Sawamura family

6. Parents’ Divorce

"Dad, what happened?"

"Why do I feel like something is wrong between you and mom today?"

"There was a little unexpected situation. We will tell you about it while we eat at the table."

Soon, Sayuri Sawamura, Mr. Spencer, and Sawamura Yoshi all cooked some of their best dishes.

Ying Lili, who had never cooked before, could only help out miserably.

The family of four worked together to set up small ambient lights in the restaurant and lit tall white candles on the dining table.

From the living room came the happy melody of family joy from an old vinyl record player.

Sawamura Yo stood up and poured the red wine.

The four of them raised their glasses and shouted with smiles on their faces: "Cheers!"

During the meal, Spencer and Sayuri Sawamura talked about the interesting childhood stories that happened to Sawamura Yo and Eriri.

A happy smile appeared on his face as he recalled the past.

This made Eriri so angry that she looked like a pufferfish.

Because all my parents talked about was her dark history.

Sawamura Yo, who showed extraordinary talent when he was a child, has no black history at all.

After three rounds of drinking.

Spencer and Sayuri Sawamura looked at each other in tacit understanding, and said solemnly in unison:

"Yao, Eriri, we have something to tell you."

"I am divorced from your father/mother."

"The divorce procedures have been completed."

Snap!

The chopsticks in Ying Lili's hand fell to the ground.

Sawamura Yao was confused. Isn't this something wrong?

Why is this plot different from what he remembers?

Ta Miao just doesn't make sense at all.

"Mom, today is April Fools' Day."

"You guys are playing an April Fools' joke, right?"

Ying Lili looked flustered and her eyes suddenly turned red.

Looking at his parents expectantly.

I hope to get an answer from them that I expect.

"I'm sorry, Eriri, today is not April Fools' Day and we are not joking."

“This is our divorce certificate.”

Sayuri Sawamura took out a divorce certificate from her furisode.

Spread out in front of his son and daughter.

"Father, Mother, why are you still so calm?"

Ying Lili instantly burst into tears and asked loudly with a look of despair.

Tears covered her innocent face in a very short time.

"Because Alan and I are not only husband and wife, but also the closest friends and partners."

"I can understand the helplessness and pain in Allen's heart."

"But it's his inherent responsibility."

"I have no reason to stop him, and I can't stop him."

"All I can do is wish him the best in the rest of his life."

"Dad, Mom, no wonder you urgently called me back from Dragon Country."

"So something as big as a divorce happened?"

The corners of Sawamura Yao's mouth twitched and he showed a bitter smile.

Then he calmly deduced:

"Did something unexpected happen in Dad's hometown in England?"

"We need dad to go back and inherit the family business."

"My brother, your uncle was in a serious car accident a few days ago."

"All three members of the family died at the scene."

"They haven't been buried yet, and they are waiting for us to return."

"Now you are the only one missing."

"My father used this as an excuse to let me return home to inherit the family business."

"Ah! How could this happen?"

"Uncle, aunt and cousin, how could they do that?"

Eriri's light blue eyes were like a flood, and tears kept flowing out.

She covered her mouth and sobbed so hard that she could hardly make a sound.

It seems hard to imagine that relatives who used to be so cheerful and friendly would leave just like that.

From then on, we went our separate ways.

"Dad, but why did you divorce Mom?"

"Our whole family can follow you back to London to live!"

Sawamura's eyes flashed, and he guessed uncertainly:

"Could it be that Eriri is not qualified to inherit the earldom of the Spencer family?"

"So grandpa not only wants you to inherit the title, but also wants you to go back and give birth to the next generation of heirs."

"Yao, the thing I regret most now is not letting you take the Spencer family name."

"You are impeccable in both strength and intelligence."

"He is the best heir to the Spencer family."

"But I didn't grow up in a Spencer family."

“There’s not much sense of belonging to the Spencer family.”

"Except for you, no one else in Spencer would agree to let an outsider like me inherit the family."

Sawamura Yo's last name is Sawamura, which is very telling.

"Yes."

"It's not impossible for modern aristocrats to have female heirs."

"The prerequisite is excellent physical fitness."

"Mom and Eriri actually lost in a place like this."

Sawamura Yao reacted immediately and said with a wry smile.

"Sayuri's genes are very strong, and Eriri has inherited her talents perfectly."

"Father is afraid that introducing this gene into the Spencer family will cause harm to future generations of the family."

If everyone is short in stature, then the Spencer family is doomed.

Spencer stopped here, and a helpless smile appeared on his face.

It's because Eriri only inherited his golden hair.

There is no inheritance at all in other aspects.

"That damn old man just discriminates against my height."

"Every time I followed Alan home, they looked down at me with strange eyes."

"It really pisses me off."

Sayuri Sawamura knows that her loli body shape is not popular.

But you can't discriminate blatantly!

"There's also the issue of Eriri's English proficiency."

"Yao, do you think Eriri will be able to learn English well in her lifetime?"

“I think it’s a bit difficult.”

Eriri's talent for languages ​​can no longer be described as poor.

It was simply that God had completely locked the window of her language talent.

Apart from her mother tongue, which she had been exposed to since childhood, Eriri was simply unable to learn any other language.

To some extent, this can be considered a special talent.

7. [Entrustment]

"After comprehensive consideration, father has completely given up on choosing Eriri as the heir."

"Just give up, I don't care!"

Ying Lili wiped her face and said angrily.

"After much thought, I decided to let me go back and give birth to another heir."

"I, I can't refuse my father."

"He and his mother had just gone through the loss of a son and a grandson."

Spencer held his head in his hands, lowered his head and confessed in a painful tone.

"Father, I understand. I completely understand your helplessness."

"From now on, the rest of your life will no longer belong to you."

"It belongs to the Spencer family."

"You are the one who suffers the most in our family."

"I can see that you, Dad, don't want to go back and inherit the title at all."

"Yao, you have always been so sensible since you were a child."

"I wish you were my biological son."

Alan Spencer said with a look of regret.

Now there isn't so much going on at all.

Just hand over the family responsibilities to Yao directly.

"The luckiest thing in my life is being adopted by you and mom."

"In fact, father has considered letting you add the surname Spencer and inherit the title."

"But the rest of the family expressed strong opposition."

"The matter had to be left unresolved in the end, and my father couldn't just do it on his own."

"Forget it. I don't want to stay in London all my life."

"That kind of life is a bit too boring."

Sawamura Yao waved his hand and quickly refused.
