My new wife discovered my past.

Hitomi Matsumoto did not wonder why the old woman knew her name, because she had a student nameplate on her chest with her name engraved on it.

"Thank you! Thank you for your hospitality!" Although she is young, the big loli Matsumoto Hitomi is very polite. She stood up and bowed to the old lady to express her gratitude.

After that, every time Hitomi Matsumoto came to the ramen restaurant to eat ramen, the old lady manager would at least prepare a sumptuous ramen set meal similar to this time. Sometimes she would add more shredded meat, beef, and vegetables, as well as milk and fruit, trying every way to supplement the missing nutrients for Hitomi Matsumoto.

After she finishes eating ramen, the old lady will temporarily hand over the ramen shop to her family. She will only go back after safely sending Matsumoto Hitomi home, rain or shine, without exception.

The old woman said: "Tong-chan is still young and a girl, her body and face are getting more and more beautiful, so we have to be on guard.

“I don’t care how Tong-chan got here, but an old woman like me will definitely personally send Tong-chan home safely!

"Otherwise, if something happens to Tong-chan on the way home, I, an old woman, feel that there is no point in living for the rest of my life!"

The old woman's powerful words made the young boy particularly fascinated.

Not only that, the old lady also taught Hitomi Matsumoto some useful physiological knowledge that she needed to be taught by her mother. Hitomi Matsumoto had already learned the relevant knowledge through books and the Internet, but she still showed an appearance of listening and humbly accepting the teachings.

The old lady in the ramen shop was really kind to Hitomi Matsumoto, but Hitomi didn't know the reason. But there was no need for her to do so just because she looked pitiful and pretended to be weak. Hitomi Matsumoto might have guessed the reason, but she didn't say it out loud.

As the only person who has shown kindness to her in the past ten years, Matsumoto Hitomi does not want to shatter the beautiful filter herself. As long as the other party does not expose it actively, she will pretend nothing happened and will only be grateful to her forever.

But that's all...

Another two years passed, and the 12-year-old Matsumoto Hitomi had grown into an increasingly graceful young lady. She had inherited all the good genes of the boy and girl in terms of appearance, and her figure had slowly grown. Her feminine curves were fully revealed in her every move. She had become a beautiful girl whose name was remembered in the school and the town.

She is a little young, but for some people, this age is the best.

It can not only satisfy their dark and perverted thoughts, but also allow them to develop their character.

After analyzing that she might soon be pushed into hell by the man and woman in exchange for the money and revenge they each wanted, Matsumoto Hitomi no longer held any glimmer of hope and patiently waited for her chance to take action.

She waited for it.

As the woman grew older and less attractive, she earned less and less money, and she was no longer as arrogant in front of men as before.

This may be one of the reasons, but not the main one.

The makeup on her face became heavier and heavier, and her figure began to gain weight and become distorted. What she could not accept the most was that she was sick.

Syphilis was spreading rapidly not only in Tokyo, but also in remote rural towns.

After being seduced and lured by the man, she became addicted.

All these factors combined have turned women into something neither human nor ghost.

She has lost the days when she could earn a lot of money with her beautiful and exquisite appearance, and can only lower her bottom line again and again, from Fukuzawa Yukichi to Higuchi Ichiyo to the current Noguchi Hideyo.

Now, not only out of revenge, but also in order to continue living the same carefree life as before, they have to find a new parasite so that they can continue to squeeze more Fukuzawa Yukichi from her for their future squandering.

Naturally, the man and woman set their sights on their own daughter, Hitomi Matsumoto.

"Unconsciously, Xiaotong has grown so big... I didn't pay much attention to her before, but now I see that she is getting more and more beautiful... The skinny little girl in my memory has grown into such a beautiful girl with delicate skin and tender flesh, and her body has developed so beautifully!"

"She is my daughter after all. She has my excellent genes... It's normal for her to be so beautiful..." The woman spoke through gritted teeth, with jealousy in her eyes.

"You... now you know why I have been keeping her, right?"

"........."

"........."

In the smoke-filled room, a man and a woman decided the fate of their only daughter in a series of conversations. They were full of satisfaction as they talked and laughed, as if they had already achieved their goal as easily as taking something out of a bag.

Matsumoto Hitomi, who stood outside the door and listened quietly to their entire conversation, walked away from the door. She still softened her heart. She should have controlled the dosage and not put so much in. How could letting the couple die happily in bliss be considered a punishment for them?

The next morning, Hitomi Matsumoto called the police.

When the police in the small town heard that there was a death, especially a couple, they went out to the scene very diligently, hoping that they could get some credit.

A few days later, after forensic identification, it was found that they died from hallucinations caused by taking too much drugs. This result was expected, and no one wanted to investigate further, so they just made this final conclusion.

The Matsumoto family has only one orphan left, Matsumoto Hitomi. According to the law, Matsumoto Hitomi will be sent to an orphanage in the small town and released when she grows up.

However, there is no need to elaborate on how dark the welfare home in the remote town is. The building with an exquisite and solemn appearance opened its bloody mouth as if it wanted to swallow the tender-skinned beautiful girl in one gulp. The staff and orphans of the welfare home standing in front of the door and in the courtyard all opened their eyes and smiled at Matsumoto Hitomi, who was like a little white rabbit, and their eyes kept looking up and down her curvaceous body.

Hitomi Matsumoto's eyes were pitch black, without any background color, as if they had lost focus, sunken on her pretty face like an exquisite doll.

She could read the thoughts, expressed or hidden, in the eyes of everyone in the orphanage, and it was impossible not to notice them.

But there was no fear on her face. It had been almost ten years since she could remember things consciously. Hadn't she always lived this way?

She walked into the welfare home, ready to accept her new life, and also ready to expel and cleanse them all one by one.

Just when Hitomi Matsumoto was about to step into the welfare home, the old lady from the ramen restaurant appeared and expressed her desire to adopt her.

Hitomi Matsumoto turned to look at the old woman, her usual warm smile and kind eyes. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes seemed to be the gentle traces left by the years.

However, Matsumoto Hitomi could not see a single bit of sunshine in the old woman. Instead, she felt the same cold and dark atmosphere as her original home and the welfare home she had entered...

The choice was hers, so Matsumoto Hitomi smiled lightly, nodded and said softly: "Okay."

As she expected, when Hitomi Matsumoto entered the ramen restaurant, she did not receive the expectations from people in the town who knew about her and her family's situation.

Those ignorant people presumptuously thought that the old woman would be nicer to Hitomi Matsumoto than her vicious parents, after all, they often saw the old woman sending her home.

Actually, it is a bit harsh to say that they are ignorant. They are just blinded.

After entering the ramen restaurant, although the old lady did not beat or scold her at will, Matsumoto Hitomi no longer received the special care she used to give her.

After coming back from elementary school every day, she would help out at the ramen shop, washing dishes or serving plates, and her reward was a bowl of clear soup ramen worth 300 yen for dinner.

A bowl of affordable clear ramen with just ramen, vegetables and chicken broth.

"Girls usually reach puberty at around 14 years old. Since Matsumoto is past that age and has completed puberty...she doesn't need to take in any more nutrients to supplement her body."

These are the old woman’s exact words.

As the manager of the ramen restaurant and the head of the family, her words are final and no one dares to disobey her.

So the old lady passed away during the summer vacation after Matsumoto Hitomi graduated from elementary school.

It was a happy funeral, because the old woman was smiling after her death.

It seems that the girl Matsumoto Hitomi is going to end up in an orphanage again.

However, three people died within half a year. Even though her beauty became more and more outstanding and she had become famous enough in the town, no one dared to adopt her.

The title of "The Unknown Woman" in the Grudge was attributed to Matsumoto Hitomi, and it became an urban legend in the surrounding towns and spread...

Now Hitomi Matsumoto no longer needs to be adopted by others. Because of her outstanding academic performance, she has been admitted to a private girls' boarding school in Tokyo with all fees waived. If she performs well, she can also receive a scholarship every month.

The summer sun is so dazzling and scorching, but when it shines on the human body it can quickly dispel the cold and accumulated moisture.

The girl Hitomi Matsumoto walked out of the small town and towards Tokyo in the sunshine.

In Tokyo, it is the new beginning of Matsumoto Hitomi's new life...

Chapter 258 Going home and picking up Miyakawa Lu

After coming out of the courtyard where the singer was temporarily staying, Matsumoto Hitomi, who was returning to her apartment and passing by Tokyo Dome City, recalled many things about her past along the way.

She had no mood to cook. After returning home, Hitomi Matsumoto just wanted to lie on the bed and sleep. She didn't even want to take a shower.

No matter how depressed you are, you still have to eat dinner.

The sky was gloomy, and it got dark earlier than usual due to interference. It looked like it would rain at any time, a sample of the typhoon rain three days later.

Thinking of this, Matsumoto Hitomi felt even more embarrassed. She finally got the chance to go on a date with Watanabe Tetsuya, but it happened to be the first typhoon of the year.

Although the typhoon is not too exaggerated according to weather forecast reports, many dating plans cannot be carried out. Do we really have to stay in an apartment or a couple hotel for the whole day?

To be honest, it's not impossible. Matsumoto Hitomi is looking forward to such a day...

After parking the car, Hitomi Matsumoto sat down at the ramen shop she often went to near her rental apartment. She hadn't been there for almost a week and missed it very much. So she ordered two bowls of tonkotsu ramen and an extra serving of char siu.

Nowadays, Hitomi Matsumoto doesn’t even eat two bowls of ramen.

Some people pay for the misfortunes of their childhood throughout their entire lives, and Matsumoto Hitomi is one of them. Other foods are fine, but when it comes to ramen, Matsumoto Hitomi can’t resist her appetite and eats one bowl after another.

Fortunately, the woman's will was strong enough. After a few times, she discovered that she had an unusual special feeling for ramen. She began to strictly control the number of times she ate ramen. She would not allow her classmates and colleagues around her to discover her abnormality, and she would never eat ramen when she went out for dinner.

Pay after eating. Only when eating ramen will Matsumoto Hitomi choose to pay after finishing eating.

There is a reason why Hitomi Matsumoto often visits this ramen restaurant. The old lady working at the cashier is somewhat similar to the old lady who ran the ramen restaurant in the town back then.

When she paid for the first time, Matsumoto Hitomi was in a daze for a while when she saw the old lady’s kind smile.

But the difference is that the gentleness and kindness of the old lady in the small town is somewhat sincere and somewhat false, and it can be seen clearly after the disguise is removed. For Hitomi Matsumoto, the old lady in this store is indeed the eternal sun over Tokyo.

"You can't judge a book by its cover. Miss looks tall, but I didn't expect her to have such a big appetite. Is it because the ramen in our restaurant is delicious?" The old lady always smiles at customers who come to pay and always chats with customers on the way, and she never gets tired of it despite being busy.

At first, Hitomi Matsumoto didn't want to pay attention to the stranger who approached her for no reason, so she just pretended to be indifferent, paid the money and left.

But the old lady did not get discouraged. Her unquenchable enthusiasm finally stirred up some emotions in Matsumoto Hitomi's heart.

"My name is Matsumoto Hitomi, you can just call me Matsumoto."

"I understand! Okay, Ms. Matsumoto~!"

"Ms. Matsumoto is getting prettier and prettier, and her complexion is getting better, and she smiles more often... That's great, girls, it's best to smile more! I was a beauty back then~~"

"Did Ms. Matsumoto Hitomi change her hairstyle today? I feel like the ends of her hair have been dyed or permed... I have to say it suits Ms. Matsumoto very well~!"

"Ms. Matsumoto, do you have a boy you like?

"Huh? How did I know that?

"Because it's too obvious! As expected, once someone has a crush on someone, no matter if it's a boy or a girl or Ms. Matsumoto, it's easy to read... It's almost like writing "I've met someone I like" on my face and telling the whole world.

"Come on, Miss Matsumoto. Now that you have finally met a boy you like, you must take the initiative and not give other women a chance, and don't give men a chance to catch their breath!

"Hold your own happiness firmly in your own hands!

"As someone who has been through this, I understand this very well~!

"Eh...? What!? He already has a lover? A lover for three years? And a fiancée who is about to be engaged!?

"Hmm...um, Ms. Matsumoto, how about having three bowls of tonkotsu ramen today?"

"Ms. Matsumoto, it suddenly started raining just now. You didn't bring an umbrella? Here, just remember to return it to me next time you come! Do you want to buy it directly? No need! Give it to Miss Matsumoto! My husband sells umbrellas, and we have plenty of umbrellas at home..."

"Ms. Matsumoto, the temperature will drop tomorrow. The cold front is coming. Remember to wear more clothes! I often see Ms. Matsumoto wearing a thin school uniform. If I weren't familiar with you, I would easily mistake you for a high school girl... But Ms. Matsumoto does look very young and beautiful, not much different from a high school girl..."

"Tomorrow is 2025, Happy New Year, Ms. Matsumoto!"

"Ms. Matsumoto~"
