But when Su Shi put down her schoolbag and sat down at the dining table, she suddenly felt as if she didn't know what to ask.
Are you asking about work?
Her mother seemed to have always been reluctant to bring these complicated matters home, and she didn't quite understand the complicated business processes, didn't know how to interrupt, and couldn't provide any advice to her mother.
In the past, when my mother wasn't so busy, she would even lie on my lap to seek her comfort when she came home...
But there are very few such opportunities now, and even if there is such an opportunity, the overtired mother will slowly fall asleep on her knees.
Nagasaki Suyo never blamed her mother. On the contrary, she loved her mother very much. It's just that...
Many times she really wanted a mother who was not such a workaholic, and a warm family that did not need to be that rich, as long as they could get together every day.
She couldn't bring herself to ask about work, and Su Shi didn't know how to talk about her own troubles.
Because she seldom communicates with her mother, she doesn't even know much about crychic, let alone the friends she met at school and the new band she recently formed.
It would take too long to start from the beginning, and I'm afraid I'll be interrupted by a work call halfway through. What's the point of that except adding to my own troubles?
"Su Shi..."
Seeing her daughter remained silent, Nagasaki Rina felt that Ayano's judgment was correct. "Sushi, is the food not to your liking?"
"No~" Su Shi tilted her head
She smiled gently, and her gentle look made outsiders feel as if she was the real mother. "Mom cooks all my favorite dishes, I like them very much."
If possible, I hope I can eat these dishes for the rest of my life, even if I get tired of them, I will continue to eat them.
"How's school going?"
“…It’s pretty good.”
"Su Shi, you must be worried about something. You can hide it from others, but not from your mother."
"......"
Seeing that Sushi's expression began to become somewhat complicated, as if it was the prelude to an outburst, Nagasaki Rina hurriedly spoke before her daughter could speak:
"I'm sorry, baby, if you want to talk to your mother, I will definitely stay by your side and listen to you this time.
I will stay at home with you these days and not go anywhere."
"what?"
Su Shi was a little happy but also a little confused when she heard this, "But mom, where you work..."
"......"
Rina wanted to make a very sad expression, but her acting skills were so poor that she could only make a face that was neither crying nor laughing.
Of course, she didn't know that this look only highlighted her bitterness and the maternal glory that required her to pretend to be strong in front of her children even though it was very difficult.
Seeing Su Shi in front of her, she couldn't help but feel her heart tighten, as if the next moment she wanted to hug her poor mother who was like a candle in the wind.
“Sorry, Sushi.
Mom, I’m unemployed…”
Chapter 127: There are two idea kings in the Nagasaki family (5 more)
"Eh?"
Nagasaki Suyo's pupils widened, eyes full of disbelief.
She had thought of many reasons, but she had never thought her mother would say such a reason. At this moment, she thought of many things, but there was no word she could say.
Finally, she uttered a sentence from her throat:
"Why? Why so suddenly..."
Because of what?
How does she know!
However, Nagasaki Rina had actually anticipated this problem, or Ayano had already discussed these details with her at that time.
'Aunt Nagasaki, if your daughter asks for the specific reason, please don't delve too deeply into the issue of unemployment.
Your focus should be on your own realization that you had lost your job and that you hadn't shown her the care and love she deserved. Losing your job should be the catalyst for you to finally confront your daughter.
If you take the initiative to talk to her about this issue without this premise, she will most likely not face you calmly, and will refuse to talk to you about these topics because of some complaining thoughts and escapist mentality.
But if you become a victim yourself, then your faults will not be so important in her eyes, and your daughter will be more receptive to the proposal of communication.
After all, who could possibly get mad at a good mother who'd lost her job?
This was the explanation Ayano gave herself at the time when she was still hesitating whether she should treat her daughter in such a deceptive way.
Of course, deception is still deception, but according to Ayano, if deception can lead to a sincere exchange, it is worth the risk.
Thinking of this, Nagasaki looked at his daughter with a mixture of shame and anticipation in his eyes.
"Su Shi, these things have passed, and it's not that serious. It's just that our boss asked me to come back and reflect on my problems."
"But……"
"Suyo." Nagasaki Rina stood up and sat on the chair next to Suyo, then gently touched her daughter's head with her hand. "Do you know what the first thing I thought about when I got home was what I should reflect on?"
"……what?"
"I shouldn't have neglected you because of work."
Rina Nagasaki suddenly felt that the daughter of the Mizushima family suddenly gave her the feeling of a conspirator, but when they communicated, she gave her a very good feeling. Could it be an illusion?
"I……"
Su Shi really wanted to say something. She did have a lot of complaints about her mother rarely coming home, but what could she do now?
Because I am now very resistant to these questions, then I just stand up and go back to my room?
Just like how he treated Deng and the others, he used ignoring them to express his resentment?
But the problem is... her mother is also the one who needs her comfort now, and her mother is really busy with work because she wants her to live a better life.
Even now that he has lost his job, his mother is unwilling to tell him why.
This is because I'm afraid that she will worry too much, afraid that she won't be able to figure out how to help and then feel stressed!
"Actually, I know everything. Mom, you also have your own responsibilities."
"Since I don't have anything else to do these few days, I want to get to know my good daughter at home. Is that okay?"
"……Um."
Rina Nagasaki felt that she was a really bad mother.
She could actually deceive her own daughter like this and open the bridge of communication in such an evil way. However, when Rina thought of Ayano telling her how to cleverly make Suze forgive her lies, she felt a lot more at ease.
Wait, why does she feel more and more that something is wrong?
.
Before, she thought Ayano was much better than her shameless mother, but now it seems that Ayano is also a little bit shrewd and calculating towards others?
No, no, Ayano is just too smart. Nanako rarely goes home, so it is impossible for her to teach the characteristics of a bad woman to the cute little Ayano.
In the following time, Su Shi was a little restrained at first, but after knowing that no one would drag her mother to the workplace this time, she slowly let go of the knots in her heart.
Besides... she had been holding those negative emotions in her heart, and she had long wanted to find someone to talk to.
Tonight, her mother made her feel that she was not actually alone. Whether they were eating or snuggling on the sofa after dinner, she felt very satisfied.
Suyo talked a lot about herself, and Rina took this opportunity to talk about what she was doing at the same time.
When talking about crychic, Su Shi's voice was a little trembling, but Rina, who felt her daughter's strength, gave her strength with a mother's embrace, allowing Su Shi to return to a calm tone and talk about the past between friends.
However, when talking about the recent events, even though Su Shi wanted to tell everything, he was reluctant to do so.
Because no matter from which angle you look at it, her actions would probably not be approved by her mother, right?
"Wait... Sushi, are you saying that the new friends you met are Haneda Aione and Ayano?"
"Well, Mom, do you know them?"
"No...I don't know him."
The shameless Ms. Nagasaki shook her head decisively in denial.
At the same time, my impression of Ayano dropped a few points in my heart.
But...if Ayano knew that Suze was her daughter, why did she pretend not to know during their conversation? Could it be that the child had her own concerns?
It was precisely because of this that Rina did not directly admit in the previous conversation that she did this today because of Ayano's words.
Now that I think about it, maybe Ayano had her own considerations.
Listening to Su Shi's description, Ayano in her eyes was also a very kind child. Although there seemed to be some misunderstandings between these people, her daughter was unwilling to tell the specific reasons so she did not ask any more questions.
But it is obvious that from Su Shi's point of view, she definitely does not want to know that Ayano is secretly helping her.
As smart as Ayano is, she must be able to know this, so she pretended not to know her own daughter at first, but at the same time showed the calculating mind that Nanako is good at, constantly guiding her to have a good and long talk with her own daughter.
What a nice girl...
Rina felt that no matter what, she couldn't let her daughter miss such a good friend. With such a gentle and kind child, did she still need to worry that Su Shi would go astray?
Chapter 128 Mom, I’m Ji (1/2)
"Wait a long time?"
It was already 8 o'clock in the evening. After finishing her work, Nanako Mizushima stood up and stretched, then gave her daughter a somewhat unpleasant look.
"You're really something. You let your Nagasaki 'sister' run away, and then left your mother to work for her. If you didn't know, you'd think she was the boss and I was the employee."
"Isn't that so that she can go home earlier to see her daughter?"
"Well, this reason is quite reasonable."
Nanako sighed. She also knew the situation of her friend. She was too keen on working overtime and always wanted to pursue perfection.
She is very harsh on herself at the company. If it weren't for their good relationship and frequent communication, Nanako would not have known that Rina was actually a single mother.
It's not easy...
And by analogy, Nanako found that she did owe Ayano something.
"Let's go. It's getting late. Let's go home together."
"Go home?" Ayano glanced at her mother in surprise. "Where are you going back to? There's no place for you to stay over there..."
"Tsk, how can you be so heartless, girl? I want to live with you, but you don't want to?
And didn’t I hear from your dad that you moved into the big house? Is there no place for me to live?”
"This one……"
Ayano was a little embarrassed. How could she explain to her mother the fact that she had two mistresses hidden in her house?
"Hidden people?"
"...How do you know?"
"Ah~" Nanako narrowed her eyes slightly. Although she didn't say anything, she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
For her, it is not unacceptable for her daughter to find a boyfriend at this age.
But if you bring your boyfriend home to live together at this stage, that is really unacceptable, no matter what you say...
"Don't look at me with those suspicious eyes of yours. There are indeed two people in my family, but one is Aiyin, and the other is Xiangzi, whom I mentioned to you today. She is my piano teacher and we are also classmates in the same school."
"Is that so... Then I have to meet her properly."
When Nanako heard that they were all girls, she felt much happier. She affectionately held her daughter's arm and helped her into the car. After putting the suitcase in place, she sat in the driver's seat next to her.
The car they were riding in actually didn't look like the temperament of the mother and daughter.
It fits perfectly, after all, it’s a Range Rover.
Against the backdrop of street lights, this Land Rover looks like an elegant black panther, its smooth body curves gleaming with metallic light.
The deep black paint and platinum chrome trim complement each other perfectly. The matrix LED headlights, like the eyes of a cheetah, emit a sharp and cool light. The wide tires and majestic front end give people a sense of irresistible power.
"Mom, where did you steal this car?"
"You little bitch, do you know how to talk?" Nanako rolled her eyes and explained unhappily to her daughter sitting in the passenger seat, "This car originally belonged to our family, but we didn't have much chance to drive it after we bought it with the Chihaya family.
I left it in China and found a friend to take care of it. This time when I came back, I thought I might stay for a while, so I asked her to send it to me.
