Tokyo: I took in a homeless girl

After a long silence, Ezaki Suguha handed the towel to the other party.

Her hair wasn't dry yet, and she felt a little lost.

But it is impossible to wipe it off because my mother is a person who pays great attention to her appearance.

Chatting while drying her hair only made her feel unhappy.

Speaking of which, when was the last time the other party came here?

I can't quite remember, it seemed to be around October last year, and we didn't even celebrate Christmas and the New Year together.

But this is normal, because during Christmas and New Year, my grandfather took me out to attend banquets for the so-called upper class.

With a slightly complicated mood, Ezaki Suguha walked into the reception room.

After opening the door, it seemed that the person inside had been waiting for a long time.

Looking at the woman sitting there with an incredibly thin face, resembling a skeleton, Ezaki Suguha was silent for a long time before finally taking the initiative to greet her, "Mother."

"sit."

An extremely hoarse voice sounded, making it hard to imagine that it came from the mouth of Ezaki Suguha's biological mother.

Although Suguha, the only daughter of the Ezaki family, has a perfect tall figure that is not inferior to any mature woman, and a clear and pleasant voice, but as her biological mother who gave her half, Ezaki Miki seems to give people a completely different feeling.

"Mom, long time no see"

Jiang Qizhiye carefully sat in front of the other person and whispered: "Have you been feeling better recently?"

"I heard from Naoto that you asked him to do something recently, right?"

Miki Ezaki didn't respond to her daughter's question. Instead, he continued in his hoarse voice, "Naoto also said that he was very happy that his sister finally asked him for something, so he would definitely do his best to help her realize her wish."

"I"

Suguha Ezaki opened her mouth, but could not say anything.

She did look for Naoto Esaki.

I asked my brother who is in charge of the Ezaki family's business to use some connections to arrange for Mine Shiori to work within the Otowa Group. At the same time, I also used these connections to make an exception for Sawayama Haruno who may come in the future.

Although I haven't received any definite feedback yet, the greeting has been given.

This was something Naoto Ezaki had promised her, and she knew that he would not deceive her on such a matter. It would be better to say that her brother had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

But the mother in front of him seemed to be angry about this matter.

“If you want to do something, you need the help of others to complete it.”

"You look like this, how can you still look like the heir of the Ezaki family?"

When she said this, Miki Ezaki raised her head and looked at her daughter with hatred.

"It's just a small matter like saying hello, can't you even do such a thing?"

"."

Suguha Ezaki closed her eyes and stopped talking.

Mother is starting over again.

Put the blame on her.

But she didn't get angry about it, she just felt that the other person was pitiful.

"Has Grandfather's education failed to this extent?"

Miki Ezaki looked at his daughter, who had her eyes tightly closed, and sneered, "Have you forgotten what I taught you before? I told you to take over the Ezaki family's assets sooner rather than later. So what have you done now?"

"Forget about academic matters. It's not impossible to spend more money to handle it. As for kendo matters, your grandfather has never come to watch your matches, right? If this continues, won't the family business end up in Naoto's hands?"

"What's wrong with falling into my brother's hands?" Ezaki Suguha suddenly asked back.

She slowly opened her eyes, staring at her mother, and whispered, "What's wrong with this kind of thing even if it's taken over by my brother?"

"Grandfather didn't say anything, and the collateral family members didn't have any objections. Brother is not only smart in business, but also very fair in dealing with people and things."

"Obviously, his mother is not his biological mother, but no matter how busy he is, he will take two days out of his week to visit her. What's wrong with such an heir?"

She really didn't understand why her mother had such extreme ideas.

Naoto Ezaki's treatment of the mother and daughter was impeccable. Even though he only had half the same blood, he fulfilled his duties as an older brother and adopted son.

Whether in academics, kendo, or even business talent, I am slightly inferior to Naoto Ezaki.

In this case, the person who should inherit the position of head of the Ezaki family should be him.

Suguha Ezaki doesn't care about these things at all.

But the woman in front of me seemed to have some different ideas.

"what are you saying?"

Miki Ezaki clenched her teeth tightly, making a creaking sound.

His expression also became inexplicably scary.

"Haven't I told you many times? You are not allowed to shirk your family obligations. Your father is a scumbag. It's because he shirked such things that I became so unfortunate." She screamed loudly.

Faced with her "tantrum", Ezaki Suguha just sighed softly.

She knew the other person was right.

After the irresponsible character named "father" ran to Italy, Miki Ezaki, who was found to be pregnant, soon received "special care" from the Ezaki family.

She was not allowed to abort the child.

The reason was very simple. At that time, the only child left in the Ezaki family was "father". After he ran away, the only one left was the child in Ezaki Miki's belly.

What's more, before going on a blind date with her "father", Miki Ezaki came from another family that was also well-known in the Kanto region.

Although the blind date ended like this, the Ezaki family had to give the other party an explanation, so they forced Ezaki Miki to stay in the family to continue the marriage and let her give birth to the child later.

That is.

Own origins.

Ezaki Suguha's eyes dimmed a little, and he whispered: "Even if I wanted to, I couldn't do it. I can still work hard in kendo, but I can't compare to my brother in academic and business talents."

"It's not about whether we can beat them or not, it's about making sure we can do it."

Miki Ezaki's expression became even more distorted.

"You're half as similar to that scumbag as you are, which is why you're so playful and careless about your family."

"I'm not having fun. I'm studying very hard every day."

"lie."

Miki Ezaki retorted loudly: "How could anyone be so stupid as you?"

"."

Suguha Esaki closed her eyes again.

She knew that she just had to act like a wooden figure at times like this, as her mother was still upset about her not being able to achieve good results in her studies.

Because in this case, since she is a girl, it would be even more impossible for her to inherit the position of the head of the Ezaki family.

It would also make the fact that Miki Ezaki was forced to stay and be "taken care of" seem like a joke.

She knew that the other party's situation was not easy.

The husband who was not her husband ran away, the husband's family who was not her husband's family imprisoned her, and the her parents' family now had a gap with her.

The biggest reason was that the baby was a girl.

It is precisely because she is a girl and cannot inherit the Ezaki family that other family members are disappointed in her and Ezaki Miki and start to ignore them.

The family that had originally planned to rely on Miki Ezaki to establish further ties with the Ezaki family has now given up on her.

It can be said that in the true sense, "no one cares".

"I don't care what you think or what you do."

Miki Ezaki is still venting her resentment.

"You must work harder in the future. You have to take that position back. Otherwise, what's the point of me?"

She raised her head, glared at Ezaki Suguha fiercely, and said, "You are my child, so you have an obligation to do what I say."

“What can’t be done can’t be done.”

Suguha Ezaki could only sigh, "I have tried my best, but... I'm sorry."

She thought she had done her best, but some things cannot be accomplished by hard work alone.

Hard work will not betray you, but it will betray your ideals.

Is this the situation you are talking about?

At least, that's what Suguha Ezaki thought.

What's more, she felt that Naoto Ezaki had also put in a lot of effort.

The other party is the one who has the least reason not to inherit the position of head of the family.

Although his grandfather has never shown an obvious attitude, the Ezaki family and the group industries controlled by the Ezaki family are now managed very well by Naoto Ezaki both from top to bottom.

In terms of talent, the other party is no longer someone that I can easily catch up with.

Even if we talk about personal morality, a "brother" who often watches his "sister"'s activities, and an "adopted son" who often visits his "mother" when she is ill.

Even if others saw it, they would only praise Naoto Ezaki for his character, right?

"you"

Miki Ezaki seemed to be angry and her breathing became gradually rapid.

The condition of this skinny woman at this moment made people worry that she might die suddenly on the spot.

It seems normal. As long as you see her being admitted to a long-term ward in a private hospital, it is not difficult to understand that she actually has some physical or mental problems.

"me"

Miki Ezaki took two deep breaths, and then stared at Suguha Ezaki intently.

And out of his mouth came a chilling sentence.

"It would have been better if I hadn't given birth to you."

Chapter 150 How long does it take for dust to accumulate in a room after leaving home?

Saying this seemed to make the beautiful woman feel relieved.

After calming down for a moment, she slowly pulled away the pillow on the other side of the sofa.

There is a card underneath.

"?"

Sawayama Haruno's expression suddenly became unsustainable.

He thought to himself, Aunt, your method of hiding things is too simple, and Maki seems to be exactly the same as you. Hey, are you two really not mother and daughter?

They all have the same weird personalities. They can talk properly but they just don't. Their behavior habits are so similar.

"This is for you. The password is her birthday."

Miyazawa's mother handed the card over and said gently, "Originally, it was money for Maki's college education, but it's been sitting there ever since it became useless. If you can, use it to buy Maki something, or take her out for some fun."

"Because her father and I can no longer do anything for her openly, please forgive me for expressing it in such a 'superficial' way."

"No, I understand."

Sawayama Haruno took the card seriously.

He knew the password, although he knew the exact date for Mana at first.

No, that kind of thing is not important.

I didn't expect that although Miyazawa's mother kept comparing her to Maki, she actually made such plans in private. In this respect, she was no different from other parents who doted on their children.

The only problem is that it's too awkward and too contradictory.

But we can't blame the other party. After all, there are many parents and children who have such a strange relationship with each other.
