Congratulations, Sushi, you have been optimized by me.

No, why is she really getting so excited?!

Nagasaki Suyo felt that she had really forgotten the important matter. The most important thing now was not the outcome of the quarrel with Tsuzuki Chihiro, but how to comfort Xiaomu who was outside the house.

"Wait, you brought Xiao Mu to my house today. Are you afraid that she will run away?"

"Oh, Su Shi is very smart. He noticed all this."

Tsuzuki Chihiro smiled and nodded, "There's nothing I can do. I've noticed that you guys who play in bands seem to like running away when you encounter problems. Now Xiaomu is locked up at home, and she can't run away even if she wants to."

"Are you crazy?" Nagasaki Suyo had no idea what was wrong with Chihiro. "I asked you to build a good relationship with Xiaomu, and this is what you did?"

"Why don't you go out now?"

"……Eh?"

"Don't you think I'm not doing well? Then you go ahead."

"Why should I clean up the mess you made..."

"Then you beg me?"

"You guy!" Nagasaki Suyo looked at the girl in front of her viciously. She must have eaten too much to think that Tsuzuki Chihiro would be a "friend" who could understand her thoughts.

But after taking a deep breath, she calmed down and thought about it. It seemed that although Chihiro's approach was a bit extreme, she was indeed facing the problem that she had always refused to face.

In fact, she had discovered long ago that Xiaomu, who had a good relationship with Xiaoxiang, must know something.

The other party should even know why Xiaoxiang quit in the first place.

Not only that, through the experience of two rounds, Nagasaki Suyo has now discovered that Xiaomu has never supported her in reorganizing crychic from the beginning.

If I have to say that Xiaomu felt happy when he heard me mention this, it was probably when he didn't know that the new band he was going to form would also include Xiaoxiang?

"Why don't you have a good chat with Xiao Mu about this issue? You should also want to know, right?"

"But……"

"It's okay, Xiaomu is just blaming herself. She thinks everyone is still upset about crychic's disbandment, and it's partly because of her.

And what she fears most is being disliked, so she chooses to remain silent most of the time.

You just need to tell her that the reason you chose to rebel against your family and not go abroad is not because of anything else, but because you want her to be truly happy for once."

"...Who did you learn all this from?"

"what?"

"Nothing." Nagasaki Suyo shook her head. "So what about you? Are you going to wait here alone until she leaves after I go out?"

"Of course not. I'll be leaving soon and won't be back to sleep tonight."

"Ah? Go out now?"

"Okay, why do you care so much? I won't let Xiaomu doubt our relationship."

Looking at Tsuzuki Chihiro's unquestionable look, Su Shi rolled her eyes and didn't know what to say.

After confirming that her current appearance was exactly the same as Chihiro's just now, Su Shi took over Chihiro's outfit and walked out of the room, then walked into the living room with some trepidation.

In the living room, Ruo Yemu was still sitting on the sofa. His well-behaved appearance made Su Shi feel inexplicably sad. She really didn't expect that so many unreasonable things would happen one after another today.

Is this a development in the right direction or a development in the wrong direction?

However, seeing Chihiro's relaxed look, she felt less uneasy. However, she was sitting opposite Xiaomu and she didn't know where to start.

"Xiao Mu, regarding the question just now..."

With a click, just as Su Shi, who had hesitated for a long time before sitting down and starting to speak, was getting ready, the bedroom door over there opened and Chihiro walked out swaggeringly and without any cover.

And this guy didn't even dodge, he even turned around and greeted Xiao Mu.

"Eh? Su Shi, is this your classmate?"

"Ah...I'm Wakaba Mu."

“Hello, I’m the child’s mother. I’ve been sorting out Su Shi’s IELTS test paperwork in the house. I didn’t expect her to be at home.

Then you two can chat. Auntie, I have something to do outside and can’t entertain you.”

"It's okay, aunt."

"???"

No, this Tsuzuki Chihiro is really too shameless, isn't she? Isn't she afraid that her mother will really appear in front of Xiao Mu and expose the truth?!

However, looking at everything in front of him, Su Shi seemed to have no idea what to say. He could only grit his teeth and say with a smile:

"Mom, please walk slowly and don't get hit by a car."

"Our Sushi is really filial~"

..........

In a remote but well-decorated coffee shop in Shibuya, Tokyo.

Tsuzuki Shisen sat in the corner, watching the hustle and bustle outside while stirring the coffee in his cup.

Not long after, a man of about the same age walked into the store and sat down opposite her.

The man's hair was a little gray, but just by looking at his temperament, one could feel that he was in a high position and had great power. However, when he sat down and looked at the Tsuzuki Poetry Ship in front of him, the majestic aura in his eyes gradually eased a lot.

"Shichuan, why did you keep refusing my help before, but now you are finally willing to see me?

I thought you had forgotten our friendship from high school to college."

"Because my granddaughter is back."

"Your granddaughter? Hasn't she always been in Tokyo?"

"No." Tsuzuki Shifune smiled, clearly happier than ever. "I'm talking about my other granddaughter, the one who has been declared dead by the police."

"Then I have to congratulate you."

"But she refused to come back, just like the one in your family."

"Oh?" The man in front of Tsuzuki Shifune raised his eyebrows, and suddenly thought of something, "You mean you help me get Xiangzi back home, and stop thinking about forming a band.

Then I will help you bring your granddaughter, whom you haven't seen in those years, home?"

"I didn't say that. I'm just worried she might do something impulsive."

Chapter 81 Xiaoxiang, Grandpa will introduce you to your future role model (1/2)

"Impulsive thing?"

Toyokawa Sadaharu raised his eyebrows, but he did not follow Tsuzuki Shifune's actions and take a sip of coffee. After all, he didn't really like the type of coffee in front of him.

He reasonably suspected that this old classmate deliberately ordered the coffee that he didn't like. After all, when they were in school, Tsuzuki Shifune liked to see him make a fool of himself.

However, now that they have found some points that can be used to counterattack Tsuzuki's poetry ship, Toyokawa Sadaharu couldn't help but speak:

"Before you complained that I couldn't control my granddaughter, now it seems you're just as bad."

"That's still different. At least our Chihiro doesn't have a grandfather who's always trying to dampen her spirit."

"Cough cough..."

Toyokawa Sadaharu coughed awkwardly twice, and his serious face showed some less serious expressions. "I did that to let her know that living with her useless father will sooner or later cause trouble.

He's already grown up, but he still needs his daughter to take care of him. I shouldn't have let my daughter bring him home in the first place."

"Don't tell me about your family affairs. I'm not interested in your Toyokawa family's affairs."

Tsuzuki Shifune smiled and shook his head, lamenting that an old man who clearly wanted his granddaughter to live a better life was so harsh in his words.

But this is quite similar to Chihiro and her father.

"So what exactly is the reason you're looking for me this time? Do you agree to use your influence in the circle to hinder Xiangzi's band plans?"

"Hinder? Why do you, Old Deng, always want to make your granddaughter sad?"

"What's there to be sad about? I'm just unhappy that she's going against me, her grandfather, for that good-for-nothing dad.

If she is willing to come back, I will give her whatever resources she wants, and she can form a band with whoever she wants.

Forget about finding a famous celebrity. Even if she wanted to find a wealthy divorced woman to form a band, I would do it for her without hesitation."

"...Do you regret your daughter and your son-in-law's marriage so much?"

"Don't you want to hear about my family affairs?" Toyokawa Sadaharu snorted coldly. Although his tone was displeased, it was obviously just a special kind of ridicule that belonged to him.

"Then let's not talk about that. Let me tell you why I came to see you today."

Tsuzuki Shifune put down his cup, his expression becoming serious, "For some reason, my granddaughter might be doing something that I don't want her to do.

She has learned some deceptive skills over the years while living alone outside. I am worried that she will do something illegal on impulse for her dead parents.

Among the people I know, although you are not the one with the best temper, you are indeed the one with the most ability.

So I want you to help me keep an eye on my granddaughter if you have the chance, and don't let her do anything stupid."

"Then what good will it do me? You won't help me."

"You still insist on equal value transactions."

"No, you're wrong." Toyokawa Sadaharu smiled cunningly. "As a businessman, I won't make that much money if I only focus on equal transactions. What I want more is that I get more than I give."

"...Don't you just want your granddaughter to come home? My granddaughter Chihiro can help you."

"Her? What can a little girl like her do to help me?"

Seeing Toyokawa Sadaharu's face full of doubt, Tsuzuki Shifune smiled and said, "Although saying this makes me seem like a failure as a grandmother, I have to admit that Chihiro is completely different from the naive little girl who only thought about forming a band and nothing else.

Do you know how she survived alone in the UK?

Do you know how much I wanted to spank her when I helped her pay back the money she had cheated her 'good friends' yesterday?

"..."

"In the past, Chihiro was willing to give up almost everything for her dream of music, but now she...even on this evening when she returned home, she didn't mention her favorite guitar once.

And only Chihiro understands how despairing it is to have dreams without the soil for them to take root and sprout.

Besides, your Xiaoxiang might not be able to listen to anyone else's honest words, but she is easily persuaded by Chihiro, who is very similar to her."

Of course, it is also possible that Chihiro was persuaded instead.

But this result is exactly what Tsuzuki Shifune wants to see. After all, she doesn't want her granddaughter to really give up music. Instead, she only wants to find an explanation for her parents.

So, all in all, she didn't lose out at all, which was in line with what Lao Deng said about "unequal exchange".

However, the one who benefited more was not Toyokawa Sadaharu, but her, the Tsuzuki Poetry Ship.

"...So you want me to find an opportunity to arrange a meeting between them? But you don't know that the child is very resistant to any arrangements I make. It may not go as smoothly as you think."

"I can find a way to deal with this matter. All you have to do is tell me whether you agree or not."

"I agree. How can I not consider my classmates' feelings when they say so? I might hesitate if others say so, but after all, you were a star figure in our school back then. I will still give you this little face."

Wow, the old guy is really stubborn.

Tsuzuki Shifune complained in her heart that she had clearly agreed to this method because she thought it would be beneficial to him, and she even said that this conversation made it seem like Tsuzuki Shifune owed her a big favor.

But it is still unclear who will suffer the loss in the end.

Tsuzuki Shifune finished the last of the coffee in her cup, smiled and nodded, "In that case, I wish in advance that your granddaughter will give up fighting you and go home obediently."

"She will come back sooner or later."

"Really?" Tsuzuki Shifune smiled nonchalantly, then looked at the untouched espresso in the other person's cup and said, "Old classmate, I ordered you coffee, but you haven't touched it at all. Are you ignoring my kindness?"

"...You really haven't changed at all."

"It's good to know."

Tsuzuki Shifune stood up and went to the front desk to pay the bill, then waved to Toyokawa Sadaharu who was sitting there, and then left the store.

Toyokawa Sadaharu, who was still sitting in the same position, felt a little unhappy.

Why did he always feel looked down upon? It was like someone's granddaughter, whom he hadn't seen in years, was still very close to Tsuzuki Shisen, while he, the grandfather who had always seen her, was at odds with his own granddaughter.

No, he has to prove himself.

Thinking of this, Sadaharu Toyokawa took out his mobile phone, found his granddaughter's contact information, and called her.

The phone was not hung up directly, which made Toyokawa Sadaharu full of confidence and also showed that the education of their Toyokawa family was still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
