Chapter 201 Jiang Qizhiye feels slightly sweet [ask for monthly ticket]
It was almost nine o'clock in the evening when we returned to Ginkaku-ji Temple.
It seemed like very little time had passed, but in fact it was hard to feel the passage of time during the dinner.
Sawayama Haruno originally wanted to go back to the hospital to check on Shiori Mine, but after sending a message he did not receive a reply.
Guessing that the other party had already lain down to rest, Sawayama Haruno thought about it and decided to go to the hospital to visit him the next day.
The moonlight fell on the sand dunes and refracted into the courtyard. Sawayama Haruno noticed that there was someone sitting in front of the door of the room outside his courtyard. When he walked closer, he found that it was indeed Ezaki Suguha.
The other person was leaning against the wall, his face looking indescribably haggard.
"Didn't you take a break in the afternoon?"
Zeshan Haruno slowly sat down next to her and said with a helpless smile: "Is it because you are too worried?"
"They all have it"
Ezaki Suguha naturally leaned her head over.
Feeling the other person's scent, she felt a little more at ease.
"In the afternoon, I chatted with the master, and then I couldn't sleep."
Jiang Qizhiye paused for a moment and said in a sad tone: "After I came back, I didn't feel like resting, so I read your book for the whole afternoon."
“Isn’t it well written?”
Sawayama Haruno raised his hand and touched the other person, then took the initiative to hug him.
Feeling the faint fragrance on the other person, he half-jokingly said: "I did use the situation in reality as a reference."
"."
Ezaki Suguha didn't say anything, but just smiled tiredly.
The conversation I had with my master in the afternoon was still lingering in my mind.
However, after being hugged by Sawayama Haruno, I felt a little better.
"Did your evening go well?" she whispered.
"It was OK. I met the Ishizawa family and had a brief chat, but we didn't talk about the book."
Sawayama Haruno suddenly looked at Ezaki Suguha seriously.
"I met your brother."
".Um?"
Suguha Ezaki made a cute nasal sound.
When the tall girl curled up in Sawayama Haruno's arms, she was like a cute puppy. Even though she was confused by what the other person said, she still made people feel indescribably cute.
It makes people want to protect it uncontrollably.
"Naoto Ezaki, he also appeared at the dinner tonight."
Sawayama Haruno played with the other's hair and whispered, "I talked to him a lot about the Ezaki family."
"I have decided to help, and I have already told the other party about this matter. He promised me that he would take me to meet your grandfather after returning to Tokyo."
"and many more!"
Suguha Esaki suddenly sat up in a panic.
Only then did she realize what Sawayama Haruno was talking about.
The other party met Naoto Ezaki?
Not only did they meet, but they even agreed to go find their grandfather? ?
"What did you tell your brother?"
"We just had a normal chat about your situation. I think he is also very dissatisfied with the actions of your uncles."
Seeing her big reaction, Sawayama Haruno immediately tried to dissuade her.
"Let us handle this matter. Otherwise, it will be hard for you to say anything to your mother. Your brother has already promised to help me find a solution. He came to visit for this purpose."
"This"
Ezaki Suguha opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
Finally, she could only stammer, "But how could Grandfather agree to meet you? And even if he agreed to meet you, he might not help stop the opinions of other family members."
"Why not? You and Naoto are both his direct bloodlines, right?" Sawayama Haruno asked back.
"You do not understand."
Ezaki Suguha shook his head seriously.
"Grandfather is a very rigid person, and he attaches great importance to the development of the family. He must know what mother and uncles are thinking. Now his acquiescence is likely to suppress my brother."
"Etc., etc."
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 I can meet your grandfather, which means there is still a certain 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 student of the University of Tokyo is nothing compared to the Ezaki family, your status as a student of the University of Tokyo was earned through your own hard work. Grandfather likes young people like this who only rely 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, and people couldn't 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 status as a student of the University of Tokyo, I'm sure that my grandfather, a "good scholar", would be able to take notice of me.
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. The last time we met, she was still in elementary school, 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 said that, 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 drive on the table.
He seemed to have some idea of what was inside.
