Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

This time it was Sawayama Haruno who was stunned.

"Why would a grandfather suppress his own grandson?"

"Because my brother wants to expand the business of the Ezaki family overseas, he not only needs to deal with the people in the Chamber of Commerce, but also needs to get in touch with the bigwigs in the political world."

Ezaki Suguha said seriously, "The people he chooses to contact now are different from those supported by other members of the Ezaki family in the past, so..."

“This is too complicated.”

Sawayama Haruno quickly interrupted her.

"In short, grandpa doesn't think highly of Naoto now, but is more optimistic about other relatives. Is that what you mean?"

"Well, that's about it, otherwise he wouldn't have acquiesced to others trying to push me to the front."

"That's it"

Sawayama Haruno felt a headache.

He thought that Brother Naoto was very powerful and the type who would take charge whenever he said he would. He didn't expect that his grandfather would actually want to support other relatives at this time. This made him a little at a loss for words.

But Naoto and Suguha are both his direct bloodlines, so it seems like it would be beneficial to him no matter who wins.

From this perspective, it is naturally safer to choose the one that you think is more promising.

It seems that although his plan has made progress thanks to Naoto Ezaki, it has also become much more difficult.

Thinking of this, he sighed and said helplessly: "Forget it, there are benefits after all."

"At least being able to meet your grandfather means there's still a chance."

"I heard from Naoto that your grandfather seemed to like people who practiced kendo and those who were educated?"

"Well, the former is one of the family etiquettes, and the latter is that my grandfather is a scholar." Ezaki Suguha nodded and added, "You are a student of the University of Tokyo, which may make him appreciate you more."

"Although being a Tokyo University student is nothing compared to the Ezaki family, your status as a Tokyo University student was earned through your own hard work. Grandfather really likes young people who rely solely on their own efforts."

"That's good." Zeshan Haruno breathed a sigh of relief and joked, "So I'm not completely useless, and I'm still writing a book."

"indeed."

Suguha Ezaki pursed her lips and buried her head in Sawayama Haruno's arms.

The other person looked like she was acting coquettishly, making people unable to help but hug her and enjoy it.

Sawayama Haruno couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Fortunately, Esaki Suguha didn't really use any backdoor to get himself the first place in this competition.

If I could rely on my own strength to publish a book and become famous, coupled with my identity as a Tokyo University student, I'm sure I would be able to impress my grandfather, a "good scholar".

These old people who have made their fortune from scratch usually admire their peers.

"Leave it to me, Suguha."

He stroked Suguha Ezaki's hair and comforted her, "There's nothing to worry about. I won't accept letting you leave like this."

"Um"

Ezaki Suguha responded sullenly.

At least at this moment, she temporarily put aside these worrying things.

Although how to solve the problem between my grandfather and mother is a big problem

But since Sawayama Haruno has shown this, I can only believe him.

As for how to deal with the relationship with the master, how to deal with the relationship with Miyazawa Maki

In these matters, she wanted to be a little willful, so she put them aside for the time being and wait until she had enjoyed the intimacy of this period of time in Kyoto before she would talk about it.

In the courtyard, the moonlight is dim.

The young couple hugged each other and sat outside the room.

This might be one of the rare times when they were alone and didn't do it.

But this time, there was an unprecedented sense of sweetness and satisfaction compared to the previous times.

On the other side, in the Ishizawa family’s manor.

The dinner was almost over, and the guests had already left as it got darker.

But in the banquet hall, there were still a few people who had not left.

——Naoto Esaki is one of them.

He was holding a glass of champagne and looking at the junior high school girl not far away with a smile.

"Kaori is already this old now. She was still in elementary school when we last met, right?"

The other party immediately counterattacked with a fake smile, "The last time we met, Naoto-nii wasn't so arrogant."

She didn't like the man in front of her very much, but she did have some idea as to why he came over.

Um.

It is not difficult to see from the fact that his uncle hurried back to Kyoto that Naoto Ezaki seemed to have other purposes in coming here this time.

Thinking of this, Ishizawa Kaori suddenly felt bored. After looking at the somewhat serious middle-aged man next to her, the other party also looked over with some feeling.

"Kaori, go back and rest first. Naoto and I have something to talk about."

Ishizawa Yusuke coughed lightly.

Only after Ishizawa Kaori returned upstairs did he turn his gaze back to Esaki Naoto.

"As the saying goes, 'No one comes to visit you for no reason.' Naoto would come all the way to Kyoto because he has something to talk to us about, right?" Ishizawa Yusuke said slowly.

He could more or less guess why the other party appeared here, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually dare to come over.

This made him look at him with a new eye.

After all, he had actually heard about the situation of the Ezaki family.

Not to mention that Ezaki Suguha had specially used his relationship with the Otowa Group to say hello the day before yesterday.

After noticing that the eldest daughter of the Ezaki family appeared in Kyoto, the Ishizawa family naturally paid more attention, so they were able to quickly rush back to the manor within a few hours after Naoto Ezaki "came uninvited".

"Of course I need your help with something."

Naoto Ezaki shrugged and joked.

"Brother Yusuke clearly knows what I want to do, why do you have to ask me one more question?"

Ishizawa Yusuke narrowed his eyes, "Is it about this essay contest, the newcomer named Kiriyama... no, Sawayama Haruno?"

He knew very well what Kaori had been doing recently. The essay contest itself was the result of the tacit approval of the Ishizawa family. Naturally, he had also heard from other people about Sawayama Haruno, who had recently attracted the attention of the two famous ladies.

But would Naoto Ezaki go to the other party's house specially for his affairs?

It's a bit too idle.

Just make a phone call and the Ishizawa family will tacitly agree to the championship. This competition itself does not have much value. It is just to make Ishizawa Kaori happy. There is no need for the other party to make a big fuss and come over.

As if noticing Ishizawa Yusuke's confusion, Naoto Esaki smiled.

"I don't need to worry too much about his affairs. Although I don't know much about him, Suguha has been very close to him recently. Since he hasn't asked for help, there's no need for me to worry about him."

"I came here this time hoping that you could help me with another thing."

As he spoke, he took out a USB flash drive from his pocket.

After placing it on the table, he slowly pushed it in front of Ishizawa Yusuke.

"what is this?"

Ishizawa Yusuke became alert instantly.

"Good stuff, good stuff."

Naoto Ezaki took a sip of wine and said nonchalantly, "This is something good that can help me turn defeat into victory."

"It's also a good thing that can solve the problem that bothers my sister."

"."

Listening to his inexplicably profound tone, Ishizawa Yusuke's gaze slowly fell on the USB flash drive on the table.

He seemed to have some idea of ​​what was inside.

Chapter 199 A Private Meeting with Shiori

The next morning.

The crisp sound of birdsong woke Sawayama Haruno up. Looking at Ezaki Suguha who had fallen asleep on his chest at some point, he rubbed his brows and gently put her down.

It's already past eight in the morning.

Ever since he and Suguha Ezaki had established a relationship, this tall girl who had always been diligent in kendo seemed to get up later and later.

The original morning exercise activity was naturally cancelled by the other party.

But the problem doesn't seem to be that big. After all, without morning exercise, there is still night exercise. In a sense, the amount of exercise is even much greater than before, right?

Sawayama Haruno is very confident in himself.

"Well"

The lazy beauty who was still sleeping next to her snorted softly.

Sawayama Haruno turned around and saw that the other party had no intention of waking up, so he continued to change his clothes and then went out to the bathroom downstairs to brush his teeth.

After he had almost packed himself up, he walked outside the Ginkaku-ji Temple and signaled his bodyguards to take him to the hospital.

It has been the sixth day since they came to Kyoto, and the bodyguards seem to have gradually become accustomed to the job of picking up and dropping off Sawayama Haruno.

Perhaps in their eyes, Sawayama Haruno means Ezaki Suguha's future husband.

After all, with their status and position, they certainly had no way of knowing the future arrangements of the Ezaki family. Therefore, when they saw that Sawayama Haruno and Ezaki Suguha were behaving intimately, and that their eldest lady was so concerned about him, they also had some intention of trying to please Sawayama Haruno.

After all, they all rely on the Ezaki family's salary to make a living, so it is understandable that they would try to please the future head of the family's virtuous husband.

However, Sawayama Haruno's mind was basically not on this, so even when the bodyguard complimented him a few times on the way to the hospital, he seemed a little absent-minded.

Only after arriving at the hospital did he regain some energy.

"Mr. Zeshan, I'll be waiting near the hospital. If you need anything, just call me and I'll be right there."

The bodyguard in the car was still being attentive.

After thanking him, Sawayama Haruno got out of the car and walked towards the hospital.

Today would be a good opportunity, Sawayama Haruno thought.

It just so happened that Esaki Suguha was catching up on sleep in Ginkaku-ji Temple due to exhaustion, so he had the opportunity to be alone with Mine Shiori.

I should have found an opportunity to talk to him yesterday, but it was too late after I came back from the dinner, so I had to postpone it to today.

Although there are benefits as well, he thought.

After entering the inpatient department, Sawayama Haruno quickly took the elevator to the corresponding floor. When he arrived at the door of Mine Shiori's ward, he hesitated for a moment, but finally raised his hand and knocked twice.

dong dong——

"Please come in."

Mine Shiori's slightly calm voice was heard from the ward.

Sawayama Haruno pushed open the door and immediately met eyes with the petite girl sitting inside.

"Haruno."

After seeing who came in, Mine Shiori's expression instantly became much more complicated.

She whispered, "You got up so early."

"Well, I rested early yesterday."

Sawayama Haruno tried hard to smile.

After finding a chair to sit down, he asked with concern: "Has Shiori recovered a little?"

"Well, the nurse came to check on him just now, and he's almost recovered."

Mine Shiori pursed her lips and said embarrassedly: "It's nothing."
