My daily life in love is too contrary to my character.

"As expected, being good-looking really does bring a lot of trouble," Shiraishi Sawa said while waiting for the chairman. "But when I become the world's richest man, I'll bring my own investment to the production team and become the boss of the group, so that even the director won't dare to breathe too loudly at me."

After Yokoi Masako left, Chiyo and Kuramochi Sakura threw the business card into the trash can by the restroom entrance. Takanashi Yuko simply picked it up without even glancing at it, indicating that the three of them had absolutely no interest in it.

"What's so great about being an entertainer? Do you have to start out with a humble attitude and then be made a fool of?"

In Japan, entertainers don't have a very high social status. Plus, there are so many prank shows in Japan that unpopular entertainers will constantly embarrass themselves when they participate, and these shows rely on this to attract viewers.

"How could that be? With your level of skill, you would definitely be at the peak right from the start, and the company would treat you like royalty."

"Baby dog, don't say that. Yesterday I was your great-aunt, today I'm just their mother. So you are...."

“Blind student, you’ve spotted the key point. Never mind what I said.”

"How about we go back to Tokyo tomorrow?" Shiraishi Sawah continued, stopping Chiyo from speaking.

"Really? I kind of miss Mimi and my bed!" Yuko Takanashi was the most excited to hear this.

"Then let's do it tomorrow. I'll have the driver schedule takeoff and landing clearance later."

"The captain is what we ordinary people see, but the driver is what you see. The difference in perspective is just that."

"Let's go," said Kuramochi Sakura, quickly leading the way as Soga Kirei came out. "I'm a little hungry."

It was a perfectly normal dinner, except that he was still easily envied and jealous of others, something Shiraishi Sawa was already used to.

Back in the apartment, I started packing my things in preparation for leaving tomorrow.

This concludes my trip to Hyogo Prefecture.

Chapter 153 Mrs. Kuramochi is no ordinary woman either.

"It's strange, I don't get carsick at all when I'm on a plane, so I don't understand why I get carsick."

After disembarking from the plane with his suitcase, Shiraishi Sawa Hide turned to the girls who were getting off the plane and said something.

"Because you are tall, you are used to being in a high position."

"Thank you for cooling me off with a corny joke as soon as I entered the sweltering summer. Bird and I had to hurry back home. No one has lived in the house for almost a week. I hope no Godzilla has bred anything."

"I hope something happens to you. How will you get back?"

“Of course we’ll take the subway,” Shiraishi Sawa said matter-of-factly, while starting to check the routes from the airport to the nearest subway station.

"You're so tired from the plane ride, why don't you take a taxi?"

"This is considered tiring? We had good food and drinks. When we went there, we took a bus, and sitting for a long time can really be tiring. We couldn't afford to take a taxi. Before, we were living off the three rich women and could barely afford to take a taxi."

"Let's have it one more time," Chiyo glanced at her watch; it was 2:30 PM. Just as she was about to say something more, Soga Kirei spoke first.

"Aunt Zuoye is already waiting at the door. Shiraishi and Takanashi can ride in my car back."

"My driver is waiting at the door; he can take you home," Chiyo said, though it was a bit late.

Their eyes met briefly before quickly looking away, both fixing their gazes on Shiraishi Sawa, showing no sign of deference, and asking in unison:

"Shiraishi-kun, whose car do you want to take back?"

It's like having a fishbone stuck in your throat. These days, if you're a kept man, people will fight over who gets to feed you.

"How about... I stop being a kept man and just take the subway?" Shiraishi Sawa suddenly felt that being a little tired wasn't so bad.

"no!"

“My car is outside too. Anyway, I don’t have anything to do. Shiraishi-kun and Yuko, you can let me drive you back.”

Kuramochi Sakura, who had bought a lot of souvenirs, was directing her bodyguards to move things when she noticed the topic and spoke to Shiraishi Sawa and the other person.

"Of course, I'll ride in Kuramochi-san's car!" Shiraishi Sawa saw a savior; it wouldn't be good to offend either Chiyo or Soga Kiriren.

But Shiraishi Sawa had a premonition that refusing one of them was definitely worse than refusing both of them. However, he still needed to come up with a somewhat plausible reason:

"Kotori just said he wanted to chat with Kuramochi-san a little longer, so, as everyone knows, I'm a warm-hearted guy, and this is the only choice I can make."

Although Takanashi Yuuko didn't know what had happened, she nodded in agreement since Shiraishi Sawa had said so.

Soga no Kuni nodded expressionlessly, revealing neither joy nor anger.

Chiyo curled her lip and said, "Central air conditioning isn't a compliment. Whatever."

Both of them seemed to have accepted the outcome.

--

"Mother?"

As the group approached the exit of the airport, Soga Kirei murmured a question under her breath before quickening her pace toward the door.

The short-haired woman, whom I had met once before, was now chatting with Akiko Saeba at the door. When she saw Kirei Soga, she greeted her with a smile.

Out of politeness, the remaining four people followed.

"Mother, what brings you here?"

"Zuo Ye was originally going to take me somewhere this afternoon, but she said she was going to pick you up, so I just stopped by. After I drop you off at home, I'll drive over and continue working."

"Hello Auntie."

Several people stepped forward to greet them.

"Hello, thank you so much for taking Wulian around for so many days. Do you have any children living in or near Azabu-Juban? I can give you a ride home on my way."

Shiraishi Sawa Hide always felt that Soga Kirei's mother looked at him differently than at others, with a more scrutinizing and curious gaze, perhaps because he was a boy.

--

"We'll be going now, we're in a hurry. Thank you again." After picking up Soga Kirei, they arrived at the parking lot, and the Soga mother and daughter got into the back seat of the car, waving goodbye to the group.

The farewell hug was the same as always. Soga Kirei seemed to have made this a routine. The difference this time was that she hugged Shiraishi Sawa first before hugging the other girls one by one.

"Shiraishi-kun, what's wrong with you? Why haven't you said a word the whole way?" On the way from the entrance to the parking lot, it was mostly the girls chatting with Mrs. Soga, while Shiraishi Sawah, who is usually very talkative, hardly said a word.

"I can't handle it. I really don't know how to deal with middle-aged women."

I did try to strike up a conversation to liven things up, but every time I spoke, Mrs. Soga would stare directly at me.

This was far more terrifying than Ichiru Nao's experience. After a while, Shiraishi Sawa Hide simply chose to stop talking, since the other girls were having a good chat anyway.

"It's alright, there's one more person coming up later." Chiyo blinked her beautiful fox-like eyes.

"Oh, Auntie is here again."

"What do you mean 'again,' Shiraishi-kun? Are you impatient? I'll tattle on you."

"That's not true. I will always love Auntie."

"Actually, there are three of us. My mother also came with Aunt Ichijin," Kuramochi Sakura, who was walking behind Takanashi Yuuko, said at this moment.

"What a coincidence, you're talking about us right now! Don't walk past, our cars are here!" A car next to us suddenly rolled down its window, and Ichiryu Nao and a woman Shiraishizawa Hide, whom they didn't recognize, were sitting in the back seat.

"Are you directionally challenged too, Ichiryu? We almost missed our way." Ichiryu Chiyo was looking for the car based on the location sent from home.

"If you changed your car every day, you wouldn't recognize it. I've never seen this car before."

"That's it? You wouldn't believe it, would you? My family doesn't even own a car! A car like this would be covered in mud after just a few days in our area."

"Mother, did you come with my sister Ichiru today? Where's our car? I just promised to take my friend home, and I'll be in a lot of trouble if we don't have enough seats!"

Kuramochi Sakura saw her mother and Ichiri Nao sitting together and looked around.

“No, don’t worry, Sakura,” Mrs. Kuramochi said, opening the car door and getting out. “We arrived a little early, so I just came over to chat with Nao to pass the time. Our car is in the back.”

Like Mrs. Ichiru, Mrs. Kuramochi has a very young face. If it weren't for her elegant hairstyle and dignified kimono, she would look like a young woman in her mid-twenties.

Good afternoon, Kuramochi-neechan.

Good afternoon, Chiyo.

"Ichiri-neechan, Kuramochi-neechan?" Shiraishi Sawa asked in a voice only the two of them could hear.

“Sigh,” Chiyo sighed helplessly, “What can I do about their weird tastes?”

"Then what should I call myself?"

"I suggest you say 'Hey'."

"Thank you, I've accepted your suggestion."

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Kuramochi," said Shiraishi Sawa, bowing respectfully.

Chapter 154 Shiraishi Sawa Hide begins to cheer

"I know you, Shiraishi-kun. Nao has told me about you many times. This girl is Takanashi, right? Sakurei has been talking about her too."

"Shiraishi, you've disappointed me so much. After seeing Mika, have you forgotten about me, your former aunt? I'm about to cry."

Nao didn't get off the train. Instead, she leaned against the window with both hands and began wiping away imaginary tears with a handkerchief.

"Of course not, Auntie, good afternoon."

"late."

"How can it be too late? A gentleman's greetings are never too late, even after ten years."

"Then why did you say you wanted to ride in the carriage of a wealthy family? What did you do wrong by riding in the carriage of a wealthy family?"

"The main reason is that I'm divorced. I'm afraid that if I get into your car, I'll be in bad shape when I leave."

"Guess which leg you'll be missing."

"Sorry, I couldn't have guessed." Shiraishi Sawa moved even closer to Kuramochi Mika.

"Shiraishi-kun, Mochika Zakura's car isn't much better, it can only have one leg left. Guess which one it will be?"

"Thank you for your kindness, ladies. I haven't been getting enough exercise this week, so I've decided to take the subway home. I'll be going now." Shiraishi Zexiu bent down, ready to run away.

"Hahaha, come back. I guarantee you'll come out unharmed today. Shiraishi-kun, you're really interesting. You're much more interesting than Sakura and Chiyo's banter."

Kuramochi smiled especially happily upon seeing the flowers.

"Speaking of which, Yinglian, how's it going? It's been almost a week, have you won a thousand and brought glory to your mother yet?"

"I'm sorry, Kuramochi-neechan, Sakura has lost to me again, and even suffered a great loss this time, but she probably won't tell you." Chiyo Ichiin looked at Sakura with a teasing expression and answered for her.

"Humph!"
