Congratulations, Sushi, you have been optimized by me.

"Hey! What do you mean? Why am I such a useless person?"

"Then... powder plaster?"

"You bastard! I've been putting up with you for so long!!!"

Looking at the pink-haired girl with her hands on her hips and a dissatisfied expression, Li Xi raised a smile and his eyes became clearer.

It goes without saying that she was using the incident to vent her stress when she scolded Aine just now. There was no need to hide this fact.

But she knew... if it was Su Shi, he would definitely be thinking in his heart that he didn't want the band to be missing anyone else.

And if it was Su Shi, she must have made these choices with great determination. She really wanted to let this immature band go on and perform at their best in the first LIVE performance.

Besides, Aine does have some good qualities.

For example, being thick-skinned.

After all, if she was attacked personally by a stranger, she would definitely not go back to the other person the next day to continue talking about forming a band.

But Aine did it.

Another advantage is that when this guy said that day that Su Shi was ready to give up, Aine still chose to stay under such circumstances and even really put some energy into practicing.

Although after Su Shi's problem was solved, or rather before Su Shi's problem was solved, this guy's enthusiasm for practice quickly dissipated again.

But who can say that Aine is the one with the biggest problem?

She, Tachikari Shiina, gets emotional at every turn.

Deng is extremely sensitive and seldom speaks, and most of the time he is unable to mediate the atmosphere in the band.

Not to mention Lenai, who has now disappeared.

As for Nagasaki Suyo... come on, this guy is crazy, do you think it's serious?

To sum up, it seems that the only normal person in their band is Chihaya Aine.

"So you want to just mess around like this? You want to just hang around in the studio with us forever?

"Your purpose in forming a band was to be in the spotlight, right? Now you haven't even achieved your original goal, so you're just giving up like that?"

"..."

Seeing that Aiyin had also begun to think, Li Xi softened his tone again and said, "I'm sorry... I do get impulsive sometimes, and some of what I said just now might have been a bit harsh."

"...I understand. I, I will practice hard."

Although Aine was still a little unsure, she nodded.

Of course, Su Shi, who was standing aside, didn't know what to say...

Is this black-haired girl in front of me really the same Shiina Riki who only knows how to pressure everyone? Could this girl... have been replaced?

It’s no use, she really can’t take it anymore. Chihiro, please come and save your financial sponsor. Why is the situation becoming increasingly out of her control?

Chapter 72 Chihiro, Grandma will help you wash your face! (2/2)

"Mmm~ delicious, grandma, your cooking is really delicious."

Looking at the girl in front of him eating the dishes that Chihiro loved to eat when she was a child, Tsuzuki Shifune showed a gentle smile on his face.

When she heard "Su Shi" say such surprising yet unsure words in the cemetery, her first reaction was that maybe it was a lie told by the girl to comfort them.

But this is easy to expose, and if you think about how bad it would be if it were fake, would it be fake?

"Sushi, why didn't Qianxun come to see us after she returned to her country?"

"..."

Hearing this, Tsuzuki Chihiro paused and stopped picking up the food with her hand.

"She did something wrong and wasn't sure how to meet you guys at first."

"Wrong thing?"

Chihiro Tsuzuki looked at her grandmother, whose eyes seemed to see through her, and Rakuna, who seemed to want to say something from the beginning but was stopped by her grandmother's eyes.

She felt that it was time for her to confess.

Chihiro Tsuzuki certainly knew that there was no turning back when she said that. She just wanted to give herself some room to maneuver and use Su Shi's identity to say something that she dared not say.

"Chihiro Tsuzuki told me everything about her time in England, but I didn't know she was Lenna's sister."

"She had been in England?"

"Well... she just returned home a week ago. She had been living in the UK before that."

Tsuzuki Shifune was a little surprised. She didn't expect that her granddaughter had actually stayed in England alone for so long. Lenai's parents had actually been looking for her, but unfortunately they never found her.

After all, things are different abroad, and there are often restrictions on what we can do. In the end, apart from assisting the police in signing and confirming that the car accident was caused by drunk driving, the driver lost control, broke through the roadside guardrail, and drove directly into the river, resulting in the death of two people, there was not much other gain.

The case was closed quickly, but Tsuzuki Shifune felt that the British police might not have been wrong in this case and it was just a simple accident.

She believed in her son and daughter-in-law. Although they were busy with their careers, they also loved their daughter very much. Even if they encountered something that made them collapse, they would never commit suicide and abandon their child.

Most likely... it was because he lost control of his emotions after something happened, drove drunk, and accidentally killed two lives.

"How has she been living these years?"

Tsuzuki Shifune couldn't help but find Chihiro and hug her. That child had suffered so much. She was alone in a foreign country and lost her family. You have to know that the Tsuzuki family used to be a very wealthy family. How could little Chihiro have experienced all this?

"She... joined several bands to pursue the unfulfilled dream she promised her parents, while also choosing to cheat on food and drink while working, using the money she earned to support the band's high expenses."

"..."

Chihiro Tsuzuki's eyes became a little withdrawn, but she had no other choice but to continue speaking.

"Chihiro said that because of her ridiculous self-esteem, she didn't live like a child of the Tsuzuki family. She felt that she didn't know how to face her grandmother and Lenai anymore. So after returning to the country, she just wanted to see you secretly, but she never had the courage to meet you."

“…Is that so?”

Tsuzuki Shifune did not expect this result. Of course, she was not blaming Chihiro in her heart. After all, it was their family who failed to find Chihiro in time.

During that time, my granddaughter was probably in a state of extreme collapse. It is very rare that she could find a way to survive and persevere until today.

But...why does the girl in front of me know all this?

Moreover, when Tsuzuki Shifune discovered that this "Sushi" looked very similar to his granddaughter, his expression seemed a little strange.

"Lena, go back to your room first."

"grandmother……"

"Be obedient, I'll chat with your sister Su Shi for a while, and next time I have the chance I'll take you to find your sister Qian Xun."

"……Oh."

Lenai frowned, her expression clearly showing some dissatisfaction, but after Chihiro patted her head with her eyes narrowed, she obediently walked into the room.

At this moment, the only two people left in the restaurant were Tsuzuki Chihiro and Tsuzuki Shifune, one old and one young.

"Chihiro, ah no... Suyo." Tsuzuki Shifune deliberately said the wrong name, observing the girl's reaction. "Chihiro is telling you this, so you two must be very good friends, right?"

"Ah... um."

"Since she hasn't made up her mind yet, I won't rush to see her. As long as I can confirm that she is alive and well, that's enough."

That's more than just a good life. Chihiro feels that she is only one step away from overthrowing Su Shi's "evil" rule and replacing him.

"But there's something I want you to tell her about her parents."

"Eh?"

Chihiro Tsuzuki was a little surprised. She didn't understand what her grandmother meant.

But she suddenly had a feeling that her mask had fallen off, as if the grandmother in front of her had been talking to her as if she were her own granddaughter since she didn't know when.

"We always thought Chihiro's parents' accidental death was very strange because they were not the type to drink and drive.

However, this incident happened so long ago that we don’t have complete evidence to prove whether the cause of death was an accident or something else, but there is one thing that really makes me feel very strange.”

"what's up?"

"Chihiro's parents are in international trade. When Chihiro said she wanted to drop out of school and go to England, I finally agreed because I thought she wouldn't have to live in poverty there. They also said they would unconditionally support Chihiro's dream as long as she didn't give up.

But after their unexpected deaths, problems soon emerged in the company's accounts, and it was discovered that over 10 billion yuan had suddenly flowed into an anonymous account not long ago."

"what?!"

Chihiro Tsuzuki almost stood up and slammed the table, but the next moment she realized that she was a little excited.

Of course, when seeing this scene, Tsuzuki Shifune also smiled slightly in her heart. She knew that her guess was probably correct.

The little girl has become successful now. She has been cheating everyone and now she has even started to cheat her grandmother.

But Shichuan was not sad or angry. Instead, the more he looked at the child in front of him, the happier he became. After all, the feeling of regaining something lost is the most joyful.

"Actually... I even doubted Lenai's father at first."

After hesitating for a long time, Tsuzuki Shifune finally said this. After all, she knew that Chihiro liked Lenna very much, and Lenna also liked Chihiro as her sister.

If some things are not explained clearly, the seeds of suspicion may take root and sprout. She does not want any estrangement to arise between the two sisters.

"Because Lenai's father was also in England at the time, I was so anxious and confused that I kept thinking about it all the time, wondering if it was Lenai's father...

But later I found out that I was wrong. Although your father and Lenai's father have an average relationship, he would not do such things.

I later asked someone to investigate and confirmed that this incident had nothing to do with them. It was a professional scammer gang that took advantage of a crisis in your parents' company and swindled them out of all their money."

"That..." Although Chihiro Tsuzuki felt a little dizzy, she still tried to defend herself, "Grandma, you are wrong. It's Chihiro's parents, not me..."

Besides, grandma, isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you to tell me this? After all, I…”

"is it?"

Tsuzuki Shifune smiled, then turned and went to the bathroom under Chihiro's surprised gaze. When she came back, she had a wet towel in her hand, and then walked up to Chihiro with a smile.

"Xiao Sushi, grandma sees that your face is a little dirty. Come, let me help you wipe your face?"

"……Eh?"

...

ps: Today I read the spoilers for the first episode of mujica, and then suddenly thought of the extended plot about the death of the protagonist's parents that I had thought of before. At that time, I was wondering if it would be a bit too weird to write like this.

I also told my friends that Mujica would definitely not be too over-the-top, after all, that would be too unlike a girl band, but I didn't expect that the plot I had imagined was too conservative.

I’m sorry, Teacher Daxiang, you are truly a superman!

Of course, it’s still a long time before Mujica finishes broadcasting. Just because it can be connected this time doesn’t mean that it can be resolved later. I think we should not always worry about whether we will be backstabbed or something.

But from this point of view, Xiangzi is definitely a character that cannot be avoided. I also took a look back and slightly changed the plot related to Xiangzi. It has not changed much, except for a few psychological activities to avoid some conflicts.

All in all, writing about mygo at this point in time does have this problem. Even if other things can be avoided, it is impossible for Teacher Daxiang to get around it... Let's leave it at this for now. At present, it is definitely still mainly centered around the go group of Su Shi and Aine.

Chapter 73: Chihiro Tsuzuki Never Cries (15)

"Grandma, did you see that?"

Tsuzuki Chihiro scratched her face awkwardly, and looked helplessly at Tsuzuki Shisen who had a teasing look on his face.

"You damn girl, you really learned a lot of weird skills out there, and... you've been living alone out there for so long, why don't you come home to see us?

Do you know...how miserable your sister and I are?"

When she said this, Tsuzuki Shifune's voice became a little trembling. She would of course feel that her granddaughter was really stubborn. After so many things happened, she actually stayed in England for more than two years in a daze.

"I... I didn't know you thought I was dead."

Chihiro Tsuzuki felt a little uncomfortable. She really didn't expect that she had never done anything right in all these years, so she felt a little unconfident when she said this.

"At the time I just felt that I was the one who killed my parents because I was the one who begged them to pick me up at the airport that day, which led to the accident."

"So you think we will blame you, say you shouldn't have dropped out of school, shouldn't have left your sister to go to England, and put the blame on you when you return home?

Or are you worried that your sister will be disappointed in you? Or that I will be disappointed in you?

You kid... you really have the same stubborn personality as an old classmate of mine. No, Chihiro, come over here!"

Although her tone was harsh, Shi Chuan couldn't help but think of the old classmate she had just mentioned.

That was the current head of the Toyokawa family, a man with outstanding abilities who controlled a huge group, but whose personality made her both angry and amused.

However, they haven't been in contact for a while. Tsuzuki Shifune guessed that the old man seemed to have a granddaughter who was in high school. Judging from her age, she might be about the same age as his own granddaughter?
