Tokyo: Starting from staying at my mother's bestie's house

Page 42

"What happened just now was also forced. I was afraid that you and Aunt Li Zi would quarrel and something bad would happen, so I comforted you like that..."

Isao Iinuma was shamelessly cunning... Bah, and explained helplessly.

When this matter was mentioned, a spark appeared faintly in Huacheng Xingzi's beautiful phoenix eyes.

My clothes are still wet!

You little rascal, have I been too nice to you lately, so that you increasingly disregard me, your mistress?

Seeing her cold face, he knew that explanation was not going to work, so Iinuma simply stopped explaining and changed the subject: "I have always had a question."

"Humph!"

Huacheng Xingzi still ignored him.

"According to Auntie Kuriko's idea, as long as you tell her, she will definitely help you." Iinuma Isao looked at her profile and asked, "Why don't you speak up? Do you really think you can't show weakness in front of your family?"

Hearing this question, Huacheng Xingzi frowned.

She still said nothing, but the frost on her face had obviously melted a little.

"For example, at a funeral..." Iinuma Isao moved closer to her and said carefully, "Suppose, if that fat pig Tanaka Saburo succeeds in his plan, you will face countless insults."

Huacheng Xingzi suddenly turned around and looked at him.

Looking at the boy's tall and healthy body, she thought that a handsome young wolf-dog was more than ten thousand times better than a fat guy.

Iinuma Isao met her not-so-cold gaze and asked seriously, "Auntie Kuriko was there at the time, why didn't you ask her to help? Do you think it's more important to save face than to potentially lose your virginity?"

Hua Cheng Xingzi was silent for a moment before she sighed faintly, "Do you think I take chastity lightly?"

"Clam?"

Iinuma Isao didn't understand why she suddenly asked this.

"Is it dissolute to sleep with a boy you just met during the mourning period after your husband died?"

"If you put it that way, it's a bit..."

Huacheng Xingzi's face turned cold instantly.

Iinuma Isao immediately changed his words: "These are just temporary measures that we had to take, they don't mean anything!"

"I actually care a lot about chastity..." Huacheng Anzi said to herself.

The light outside the window dimmed again, and the black of her kimono became even darker, a color that made her look a little pitiful.

Looking at her cool and pale face in the night, Iinuma Isao nodded with a calm smile on his face: "I am sure!"

The best proof is that she is still a virgin at the age of 37.

Huacheng Xingzi's eyelashes trembled slightly and she glanced at him to express her gratitude.

"Although I value chastity, even more than life. But compared to chastity, there are more important things that need to be prioritized."

While speaking, Hua Cheng Xingzi regained her mistress's dignity and said the next sentence calmly but without hesitation:

"Family is more important than chastity."

——What is the demeanor of a mistress?

Iinuma Isao listened to her quietly.

"The reason why Li Zi can defy the heavens and the earth and hold a high position in the palace is because she owes nothing to anyone and has no vested interests with anyone. The emperor can be completely confident in her. If I ask her for help, she will certainly be happy to help her sister, but she is, after all, just a female official without real power..."

The light in Huacheng Xingzi's narrow and long phoenix eyes dimmed for a moment.

Iinuma Isao probably knew what she was going to say.

"If she wants to help me, she can only ask for help from powerful people. With her status in the palace, naturally there will be people willing to help. But in this way, she is equivalent to having a vested interest in the outside world. She owes favors, and when it is time to repay, what can she use to repay? She can only use the face given by the emperor to find another person, and then find another person to repay the favor of this one. If this goes on repeatedly, her transcendent status in the palace will inevitably be unsustainable, and she will gradually fall from an admired literary female official to a socialite who has to rely on powerful people to survive..."

After listening to her, Iinuma Isao nodded silently.

Indeed.

Aunt Li Zi now has no vested interests with the outside world and is trustworthy to the Emperor.

But once she had contact with the outside world, in the eyes of the emperor, her background would be unclean and she could be kicked out at any time.

"so……"

Huacheng Xingzi slowly turned her gaze back to the window.

Above the distant tall buildings, there was still a faint afterglow of the sunset, but the outlines of the scenery seen through the car window had already been dimmed.

"Even if I lose my virginity, I don't want my little sister to lose the things she relies on for survival because of me..."

Her voice was extremely beautiful, yet almost sad, and it echoed in the carriage for a long time.

"Besides, I can't lose!"

The old lady finally said something stubborn.

Iinuma Isao felt like he was electrocuted by her.

Especially when the headlights from the oncoming lane penetrated through the hazy undercurrent of dusk mist and shone on her face.

That otherworldly transparent illusion brought about an indescribable beauty that almost made his heart tremble.

In his book Snow Country, Yasunari Kawabata used the sentence "The woman gives the impression of being surprisingly clean, even making one think that the curls of her toes are probably clean" to describe the beauty of the geisha Komako that is untainted by the mud.

At this moment, Iinuma Isao was in a state of agitation, and could not help but say, "Auntie Xingzi, the inside of your toes is probably clean too!"

"Probably? What do you mean by probably? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Hua Cheng Xingzi turned her head and glared at him, and scolded him like a stern female teacher facing a student who made a mistake in answering a question: "It's not like you haven't played with Auntie's toes before, isn't it clean as if it has been licked?"

"..."

Iinuma Isao's face was black and smelly.

If I said this to Auntie Li Zi, she would definitely shake her face slightly to the left and right, her cheeks flushed, and scold him like a spoiled child: "You can't be telling the truth, Tokyo people always love to lie, disgusting!"

Yes, Tokyo people love to lie, this is also what Kawabata Yasunari said.

It's a pity that Aunt Xingzi has been beaten by society for so many years that the artistic cells in her body have long been dead.

"That's a compliment to you..."

Iinuma Isao laughed helplessly.

Huacheng Xingzi said without emotion: "I don't need praise!"

"Okay, okay, you're awesome!" Iinuma Isao complimented with a smile, then suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, "According to the saying that relatives are more important than chastity, am I also considered your relative?"

"..."

Huacheng Xingzi looked out the window indifferently.

Gazing at the sunset glow on the Tokyo skyline, the lady's pretty cheeks turned red.

She thought of him as someone more important than her chastity. After all... except for the last layer of her so-called chastity, almost all the rest had been taken away by this kid. How could she have the face to mention it again?

Chapter 40 I will not let anyone bully my aunt anymore, but I will bully her.

As night fell, the Maybach turned uphill.

Winding up along the road, after the last bend, there is a sign for "Private Territory" standing on the side of the road, and further ahead is the Huacheng family's huge mansion.

In the night, cherry blossoms bloom brightly.

As they were almost home, Iinuma Isao closed the curtain between the front and back rows.

However, as soon as the curtain rose and he saw the door through the windshield, his eyes were startled.

There were about a number of people standing under the cherry tree opposite the entrance, standing upright facing the gate.

They were all dressed in suits and had tall and strong builds. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they were all martial artists.

The leader was Kato Ryota, whom I had met once before.

The guy gave people a very restless feeling, like a wild beast restrained by a suit, ready to attack and hurt people at any time.

The people from the Red Snapper Group...

Iinuma Isao thought that it would be difficult to have peace tonight.

At this moment, Kato Ryota's gaze was also locked on the boy from a distance.

The eagle-like sharp eyes carried undisguised malice and fighting spirit.

This powerful fighting spirit seemed to take on a physical form, wriggling and floating around him like a black mist, with a faint green light shining through it - just like an evil spirit.

"So strong..."

Iinuma Isao suddenly became nervous.

Huacheng Xingzi didn't look forward, but looked out the window. The boy subconsciously grabbed her arm.

The strong grip left red marks on her arms.

"What are you doing..."

Huacheng Xingzi was about to scold him, but when she turned her eyes, she first glanced at the windshield of the car.

The pupils of her beautiful phoenix eyes shrank slightly.

The Maybach passed them quickly.

This group of men in suits bowed collectively towards the car.

It looks like a magician in a formal suit, greeting the audience before performing a show.

Looking closer, Iinuma Isao clenched his fists.

"Don't be impulsive!" Huacheng Xingzi quickly held him down.
