Chapter 211 The Truth About the Twins
Did my grandfather already know about me and Naoto?
wrong
I'm not sure I can keep my affairs a secret from my family, so it's normal that they'll find out.
But Naoto Ezaki must have other things to do in Kyoto, and it seems to be something that has a big impact.
Otherwise, mothers today wouldn't be so fearless.
Ezaki Suguha was confused for a moment, but after recalling someone's gentle smile, she quickly calmed down and whispered, "So what if he knows. Grandfather has never cared about these things, right?"
“Isn’t having no concern the greatest concern?”
Miki Ezaki sneered and said slowly, "No matter what, you are his granddaughter in name only. Do you think you can hide the blind date from him? He still acquiesces."
"Don't forget that your father and I started dating under his arrangement."
"."
Ezaki Suguha didn't say anything else, but his expression turned a little ugly.
Sawayama Haruno will have to visit his grandfather later. If his grandfather really approves of him going on a blind date with someone from another big family, you can imagine what will happen to Haruno.
"No matter what, my brother is still here now."
"Naoto?"
Miki Ezaki interrupted her before she finished speaking.
The woman, who looked like a withered skeleton, frowned and said with disgust on her face, "That boy was too arrogant and did things he shouldn't have done. It won't be long before everything he has is taken back from him."
"."
Ezaki Suguha was slightly startled.
It was obvious that her mother had no intention of explaining these things to her.
After seeing that Ezaki Suguha looked a little uncomfortable, she smiled faintly and said, "A new round of elections is about to begin. In the past, our Ezaki family has always maintained a neutral attitude, but Naoto already has someone he wants to cooperate with."
Ezaki Suguha's face changed.
The Esaki family has always been connected with the political circle, but this connection is very measured. On certain major issues, their family has always maintained a relatively neutral attitude.
In addition, the Ezaki Group is one of the largest companies in the Kanto region. Even if it maintains a neutral attitude, it will not cause too much impact and loss in the case of multi-party struggles. This is also one of the family rules that my grandfather has always adhered to.
But now this family rule is about to be broken by Naoto Ezaki, and one can imagine what awaits him.
"The family has already decided to attend the dinner hosted by the Kanto Chamber of Commerce in two weeks. Minister Ishibashi will also be there."
Miki Ezaki slowly put away his smile and said coldly, "When that time comes, the Ezaki family will take back Naoto's current power to prevent him from interfering in more matters."
"Except for Naoto, you are the only one in the direct bloodline who can inherit the identity of the next head of the family. The blind date is a foregone conclusion. You should stop fantasizing about such meaningless things."
"."
Suguha Esaki said nothing.
She was staring at the exquisite gift box on the table, slightly distracted.
Seeing her always absent-minded look, Miki Ezaki finally became annoyed and angry.
She slammed the book heavily on the table, making a loud "bang" sound, and said angrily: "At this point, are you still thinking about something else?"
"Ah."
Unexpectedly, Ezaki Suguha admitted it readily.
Looking at her mother with a livid face, she sighed and said helplessly: "Mom, I am already a woman"
"Such a major matter really has to be left to the pillar of the family to resolve, right?"
The light-hearted word "pillar" seemed to deeply hurt Miki Ezaki's sensitive heart.
She widened her eyes, as if she couldn't believe that her daughter would say such a thing.
Facts have proved that lies do not hurt people, but the truth is the sharpest knife.
Suguha Ezaki's frank words seemed to have revealed the ugliest scar of Miki Ezaki, making her forget what she was going to say for a moment and her body trembled with anger.
But Ezaki Suguha did not stop, but continued to speak slowly: "I am also an ordinary woman. Haruno has told me to leave everything to him, so no matter what happens in the future, I will not care any more."
As she spoke, she placed her hands on the table and slowly stood up.
"I have brought the souvenirs. I brought them out of my concern for my mother, so it's okay if my mother doesn't accept them. If she doesn't like them, just throw them away."
"To be honest, I don't really care what will happen to my brother in the future."
Ezaki Naoba paused, a smile that showed a bit of sympathy and some inexplicable happiness on his face.
"Now I just care about the people I like."
After saying this, she no longer had any lingering feelings and turned around and strode out of the rest area.
Such a sharp and decisive step made Miki Ezaki stunned.
In a trance, the skinny woman seemed to see the way Suguha's father left her, with the same decisiveness.
At the last moment when the other party was about to step out of the rest area, she finally lost control and shouted hysterically at him: "You will definitely regret this, Suguha!"
That’s right, the other party will definitely regret it.
She didn't know whether the man had any regrets on the day he ran away and every day after that.
But at least for her, she has been regretting every minute and every second from that day to now.
So, as their common product, Ezaki Suguha will definitely take this path, right?
When Miki Ezaki thought about this, he looked in the direction of that place again, but he was stunned in despair. Suguha Ezaki had already disappeared at the exit, as if his "curse" just now had no effect.
After walking out of the mental hospital, looking at the gradually darkening weather outside, Ezaki Suguha couldn't help but feel dazed for a moment.
“Will you regret it?”
She whispered softly.
The only regret I have is probably that I feel sorry for Maki and my master.
After all, he was a latecomer, but he greedily occupied a place in Zeshan Haruno's heart, and even had to let the other party bear certain responsibilities.
Whether as an apprentice of Mine Shiori or as a close friend of Miyazawa Maki, she felt an indescribable sense of guilt.
But apart from feeling sorry for these two people, he has never regretted what happened between him and Sawayama Haruno.
Suguha Ezaki even felt that even if the two of them could not be together in the end, she would not regret it.
Because the original purpose has already been achieved.
Ezaki Suguha closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths.
After getting over all her irritable feelings, she quickly returned to her old self.
The visiting time is over, but there are still many things that need to be dealt with. Even if we ignore family matters, academic matters are also urgent.
There is not much time left before the entrance examination, but she is still far behind in progress. Although she has prepared herself for the possibility of failing, she wants to try her best to rely on herself and seize the opportunity even if there is only such a small possibility.
Go home early to prepare for reviewing. You have wasted a lot of time in Kyoto these few days, and you must make up for it by redoubled efforts in the future.
After deciding what to do when she got home, Ezaki Suguha walked towards the nearby station.
It is now the short rush hour at noon, and there are many people taking the train near the station. Fortunately, Ezaki Suguha has lived in Tokyo for so many years that she is somewhat accustomed to the current scene.
Although she is a lady from a prominent family, she still sometimes takes the tram or subway. Crowds do not have much impact on her, unless there are so many people that they are packed to the brim, then she has to consider whether to take a taxi back.
"It's only lunchtime, it shouldn't be that crowded, right?" Ezaki Suoha thought.
When she passed through the ticket gate and turned the corner to take the escalator, she was distracted for a moment and failed to notice the girl who was also turning the corner in front of her.
It might have been too late to brake, and by the time Ezaki Suguha came to his senses, he had already accidentally crashed into it.
The other party screamed and almost fell down.
Fortunately, Ezaki Suguha reacted quickly and quickly pulled the other person.
“Eh.”
"Ah, thanks."
The other party came to his senses and said with lingering fear: "I almost fell. I'm sorry. I was walking a little fast and didn't notice you."
No, I was distracted and didn't look at the road.
This sentence should be said by Suguha Ezaki.
But looking at the face in front of her that couldn't be more familiar, she opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
The other party tilted his head as if puzzled.
"Are you hurt?"
"without"
Ezaki Naoha replied in a dreamy voice: "No, I'm injured."
It was as if her brain had received information beyond its operational scope, which made her a little dazed and she didn't know what expression to make when facing the other person.
What's going on?
"It's okay."
The other party looked at Ezaki Suguha with some concern, and was completely relieved when he saw that she seemed to be really fine.
Perhaps thinking of the train she was about to miss, she said apologetically, "Are you really okay? If you're really okay, I'll leave first."
"Ah good"
Esaki Suguha replied subconsciously.
It was not until the other person walked around him with a strange look on his face and headed to the back that Ezaki Suguha suddenly started.
"that!"
The tall girl turned around in a panic and asked incoherently, "Excuse me, what's your name?"
"Ok?"
The person she called again stopped, turned around and showed a bright smile, then introduced herself: "My name is Miyazawa Mana."
Suoha Ezaki felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave.
