The man rescued from Kabukicho

When Jiro heard this question, his first reaction was to want to go to work with Yijuin, but he immediately realized that this kind of dependence was abnormal.

It was the embarrassing gesture of the rescued who was still in shock, unwilling to lose his shelter, and clung to the rescuer.

He shouldn't be so weak, let alone add trouble to Yijuin.

Although Ijuin didn't seem to care... No, it can't be like this, Jirou warned himself in his heart.

However, just riding in the car reminded him of the nightmare experience last night, and his body stiffened uncontrollably.

——Cirou in this state, no matter how clear his mind is at the moment, his body instincts and inner desires have conveyed a message to his brain, that is, he does not want to leave Yijuin at this moment.

Self-esteem and longing struggled against each other, so Cilang did not give an answer for a long time.

In the torment of choice, Cilang even came up with such an unusually gloomy thought: perhaps, prison life, where he has no choice but to follow orders, might be more suitable for a criminal like him.

At this time, one of the assistants reminded Yijiyuan: "A meeting with Director Wakamiya was arranged for you at noon. I don't know the purpose of the other party's visit. I'm afraid it will take a lot of time. Mr. Mochizuki himself is a person who is easy to attract attention." People, on that occasion, cannot avoid being questioned."

Seeing that Yijiin didn't show any displeasure, the assistant continued: "Your schedule today is quite scattered. Instead of letting Mr. Mochizuki follow you around, which will only increase the pressure, perhaps a quiet home atmosphere is more suitable. Fengzao is someone you trust, We need to get along with each other for a long time in the future, if she takes Mr. Mochizuki to familiarize himself with the family environment first, there should be no problem. The above is my subordinate's humble opinion."

Hearing what the assistant said, Cilang, who didn't want to be more of a burden on Yijiyuan, quickly opened the notebook, wrote down the answer of "Then I'll disturb your house", and showed it to Yijiyuan.

Cirou felt Yijiin's deep gaze, but he didn't dare to meet his gaze.

"Then let's do this." A few seconds later, Yijiyuan Kazumi calmly ordered, "Send him there first."

"Yes."

Another assistant pushed aside the soundproof panel and conveyed Yijuin's meaning to the driver in front of him neatly.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a single-family villa.

This place is very different from the Ijuin mansion that I left in the morning.

The Ijiin mansion occupies a vast area, and has the kind of huge doors that open left and right that can only be seen in Dahe TV dramas.It takes more than ten minutes for the car to drive from the entrance to the gate. In an international city like Tokyo, where every inch of land is expensive, it is unbelievably extravagant. It is not so much wealth as it represents some kind of status above the upper class.

The three-story detached villa in front of me is not so exaggerated.

Outside the English-style gate, an old lady was waiting.

Probably Feng Zaosang mentioned by the assistant.

She should be sixty years old or older, with a straight back, a meticulous hair bun, and the inevitable traces of time on her face, but she can still see the beauty of her youth, which matches the plain kimono very well, and is even rarer. Yes, she just stood there, giving people a sense of awe-inspiring majesty.

Yijiyuan got out of the car first.

Cilang didn't expect Yijiyuan to get off the car specially, and he came back to his senses only after Yijiyuan turned to look at him.

They walked up to the old lady one after the other.

Yijiyuan bowed slightly, but did not use honorific words to her, but his tone was quite respectful: "Feng Zao, he will leave it to you first."

Seeing this, Cilang followed suit and bowed to her.

The old lady raised the corner of her mouth, and gracefully returned the salute to the two tall juniors: "Don't worry, master. Are you coming back for dinner?"

"I will get off work on time today," Ijuin replied, turning around and walking towards the waiting vehicle.

She bowed deeply to Yijiin's back: "Go slowly."

What is the relationship between the old lady and Yijiyuan?If it is an elder, it would be too respectful to Yijiyuan. If it is a servant, Yijiyuan's respect for her is obviously beyond that category.

"Then, Mochizuki-san," she suggested to Jiro, "shall we go in?"

There was something similar to Ijuin Kazumi in her body, Cirou couldn't distinguish it carefully, but his respect for the old man made Cirou subconsciously nodded politely.

She withdrew her majestic aura, and showed a kind of intimacy towards her juniors. She didn't know whether she forgot that Cilang could not speak now or believed that he would recover soon, so she said: "Mochizuki-san, why don't you just call me Granny Fengzao? The grandchildren don’t call it that anymore when they grow up, but I kind of miss it.”

Mother-in-law (pronunciation: Oh Bar Sauce)?

It's really a title for grandchildren or young women, and it's a bit strange to add a surname, which is usually not called that.But since the other party said so, Ci Lang hesitated for a moment, and obediently wrote in the pocketbook: [First meeting, Granny Fengzao.Just call me Chiro. 】

"Mr. Ci Lang," Feng Zao's mother-in-law waited patiently for him to finish writing, then changed her words and smiled slightly, "Then, please come with me."

This three-story detached villa itself is built on a higher uphill terrain, so the first-floor garage feels like a negative floor. Entering from the front gate, first you will see a relatively small lawn, followed by a modern Japanese style Dry landscape courtyard, green planting steps, simple Zen.

Cirou was a little numb to "the rich world where Kazumi Yijiin lives", and he was not surprised to see the professional bodyguards guarding the villa.

But the giant dog on the lawn, which was being held tightly by the bodyguard in order not to frighten the strangers, still shocked Cilang.

This short, ferocious giant dog has a head wider than Cilang's waist, and even though it is "short", the 1.8-meter-long Cilang has long legs. The height of the giant dog is already higher than Cilang's knees, and it is 70 centimeters by visual inspection.

Fengzao's mother-in-law beckoned for the bodyguard to bring the giant dog over, and introduced to Cirou: "This child is called Shuntaro, a Bordeaux dog, a famous French guard dog, he listens to Master Kazuomi very much, and is very gentle with his own people, let him know you well It smells better. It doesn’t know you yet, it may bark a few times, so don’t be afraid.”

Although Jiro has loved dogs since he was a child, most of the dogs he has come into contact with are cute pet dogs such as Shiba Inu and Golden Retriever. This is the first time he has come into contact with this giant guardian dog with a terrifying appearance.

Fengzao's mother-in-law had already warned that it might bark, and as the bodyguard led the giant dog Shuntaro who obviously didn't like the appearance of strangers approaching, Cirou held his breath and made sufficient mental preparations.

But the restless Shuntaro walked up to Jirou, and after sniffing him for a while, he calmed down, and even lay down at his feet, not seeing life.

Fengzao's mother-in-law said pleasantly, "Mr. Cilang, Shuntaro likes you very much."

No, not right.

Ci Lang's ears suddenly turned red.

This giant dog didn't like him, but it smelled the master's scent on him.

He smells like Ijuin Kazuomi.

Entering the room from the entrance, the entire second floor is in a Western-style smart style. There are operation panels on the walls of each room, but the furniture and details reflect the warmth that can only be soaked in for a long time, and it seems to have been renovated.

Fengzao's mother-in-law introduced that this is the house where Master Kazumi's grandparents spent their later years after they moved out of the Yijiyuan mansion.

Young Master Hechen grew up here and got used to living here. A few years ago, he carried out renovations according to Young Master Hechen's preferences.

Why didn't Ijuin grow up in the Ijuin mansion?Cilang was a little curious, but this was a private matter of the Yijiin family, and he did not ask questions without authorization.

The two sat in the small living room. On the table were scented tea and snacks prepared by Granny Fengzao. Cilang tried one on the recommendation of Granny Fengzao. It was glutinous rice with a sweet taste.

【It's delicious】, Cilang wrote in his notebook.

Fengzao's mother-in-law looked at him with a smile.

Her attitude towards Cilang, like an elderly female elder who cared for him from the bottom of her heart, made Cilang, who was not too defensive, even more unwarranted, and even a little overwhelmed because the other party was too kind.

At this time, Feng Zao's mother-in-law said with great emotion: "I thought I would never have the chance to meet you, but it's great to finally see you in this home."

What does it mean?

He had an accidental reunion with Yijiyuan in that situation last night, but why did she seem to know about the existence of a commoner like Cilang?

Also, what does it mean to "see you in this home at last"?

Cilang felt a sudden chill in his heart, and wrote: [What do you mean by what you said? 】

Fengzao's mother-in-law didn't seem to notice his panic, her tone was still calm and gentle, and she recalled unhurriedly: "Our Fengzao family has been working with the Yijiyuan family. I used to be a subordinate of Master Hechen's grandfather. Some accidents happened in the middle of the day, and he was invited by the grandmother of the young master Hechen to live here and take care of the young master Hechen together.

"Master Hechen has been a frighteningly clever child since he was a child. It is said that children who are too smart are prone to die young, and God will take them away early. For this reason, his grandmother and I were worried to the point of crying, but Fortunately, Master Hechen grew up safely.

"However, as the second son, Master Hechen is so good that he put a lot of pressure on his elder brother, to the point of being tired of studying. The two are only one year apart, and competition is unavoidable. In the end, Hechen The young master's parents, in order to take care of the eldest son's mood, made a choice. When young master Hechen entered junior high school, his parents sent him to his grandparents to raise him."

It turned out to be the case.

Even though he hasn't heard the answer to the question yet, knowing that Ijuin Kazumi had a similar experience to himself, even though the situation was not quite the same, Cirou still felt sympathy for hurting others.

Such an excellent person as Yijiyuan was abandoned by his parents.

But now, it is obvious that Yijiin Kazumi is better than his elder brother.

Cilang noticed that Fengzao's mother-in-law didn't seem to like Yijiyuan's elder brother at all.

When she talked with Yijiyuan just now, she directly called Yijiyuan "Young Master", and now she told Cilang that she added her name. It can be seen that in her heart, there is only one young master of Yijiyuan's family, and that is Yijiyuan Kazumi.

Granny Fengzao went on to speak, expressing her dissatisfaction with Yijiyuan's parents in a not-so-secret way: "Because of such and such negligence, no one knows how young Master Hechen's insomnia problem started. It was Master Hechen who calmed down. Talking to his grandfather about needing sleeping pills, we didn't realize the problem had gotten to this point."

Speaking of this, Fengzao's mother-in-law once again showed the original majesty, and said sternly: "The Yijiyuan consortium is involved in various industries of medical care and health care. The group is spread all over Japan and overseas. It is a shame to the master that he can't cure his young master's insomnia. .”

She is completely on the stand of Ijuin Kazumi.

Cirou was clearly aware of this.

Then Granny Fengzao eased her emotions and got to the point: "Probably when Master Hechen was in the third year of junior high school, one day he came home and said that he met a person, and when he was with him, he could smell the breeze blowing over him. It made him sleepy."

"This is really God's pity. We all fell into ecstasy. The damage to the body caused by long-term use of sleeping aids has always been a cloud hanging over the head of this family. When we heard this news, we all felt that we were saved from a desperate situation. The student of Mochizuki Jiro The information was soon found out. In order to remedy the relationship with the second son, the parents of Young Master Hechen also took the initiative to participate and prepared a huge price to negotiate with the other's parents."

The calm tone of the narration made Cilang shudder.

He remembered, probably before and after the break with Ijiin Kazumi, during that time, his father treated him unusually kindly, not only cared about his studies, but also asked several times "Is there anything I want" and "Is pocket money enough?" ", let Cilang be flattered.

But soon after, his father returned to normal, and what Cilang wanted was gone.

In this way, all these cares that he had never had before were all because...he thought he had fallen into a desperate situation, but he discovered that there was an even sadder side to the past.

Granny Feng Zao continued: "But at this moment, the young master said that he had tried to contact the other party again, but found that he had made a mistake. This time, no matter how close he was to the other party, he couldn't fall asleep. We had nothing but joy, and we are about to finalize the deal." Negotiations have also been suspended."

What?Cirou was stunned.

There was such a reason behind the question Yijiyuan asked that made him furious.Because he didn't want to lose his freedom, so Yijiin Kazumi lied to his family?

If Yijuin hadn't lied, with the power of the Yijuin consortium and his father's performance during that time, Cilang's fate can be imagined.

He never expected that the truth of the breakup back then would be like this.

Why did Yijuin make a decision on his own without saying anything?

But Cilang thought about it carefully, it was impossible for Yijiyuan to tell himself that it was the secret strange disease of the young master of the Yijiyuan consortium, and even if Yijiyuan said it, would he agree?How can a young man who thinks he has infinite possibilities in the future agree to lose his freedom and serve as a pillow for others?

Not saying anything, perhaps it was because the ending was foreseen.

Whether that person should be said to be ruthless or gentle, Ci Lang no longer understood.

"I have taken care of the young master for many years, and I dare not boast that I fully understand it, but I still vaguely noticed that the young master lied to the family. He is a kind child, although it is difficult to tell from his appearance." Granny Feng Zao looked deeply Looking into Cilang's eyes, he bowed his head and saluted, "Mr. Cilang, the young master will entrust you."

Cirou was speechless for a long time.

Finally he wrote: [Thank you for telling me this.Your concern for Ijuin is moving. 】

Granny Fengzao shook her head and sighed.

She revealed it almost coldly: "Mr. Ci Lang, maybe I told you on purpose to use your guilt after knowing about it to make you willingly stay by the young master's side."

Ci Lang was taken aback by the sudden reversal.

"You are a smart kid, but you are so kind," Feng Zao's mother-in-law actually smiled again, "You still have a lot to learn."

Cilang frowned, and quickly wrote: [Then did you do it on purpose?What do you want to learn? 】

Granny Fengzao did not answer the former question, but the answer to the latter question was: "Of course it is learning to survive."

Learning to survive?

Such an unclear answer made Cilang want to continue asking even if he could only write, but the doorbell rang.

"Let me be rude," Feng Zao's mother-in-law was strict in etiquette, apologizing to Ci Lang in this way before answering the door.

This conversation made Cirou feel more similarities between her and Yijuin.

The influence of this Fengzao mother-in-law on Yijiyuan may be no less than that of the grandparents who raised Yijiyuan.

Cilang has complicated emotions, no matter what state of mind Feng Zao's mother-in-law told him about this past, he will inevitably be affected.

But he still didn't understand what she meant.

If the purpose was as she said, it was to make Cilang feel guilty, but he didn't feel that he had any room to bargain in front of Yijiyuan, a benefactor. She and Yijiyuan, who are so powerful, would not fail to see it.

And the act of actively prosecuting selfishness made Ci Lang even more confused. She said it as if she was teaching Ci Lang, but why is this necessary?His life has long been scrapped, and the future will only be used as a pillow.

The object of teaching should be those who are possible and necessary to improve.And those who need to learn to survive are those who still have a future.

The voices in the hallway are getting louder.

Cilang tried his best not to listen, but in the end there seemed to be a commotion over there.

Considering that no matter how powerful Fengzao's mother-in-law is, she is still an elderly person, Cilang stood up worriedly, walked outside, and stopped at a distance where he could hear the conversation clearly.

Listening to the voice, it was a woman younger than her who was confronting Granny Fengzao.

She was saying mockingly: "In any case, Madam is the second young master's mother. After all, you are just an outsider. It is already too much to act like this. Please respect your identity!"

Feng Zao's mother-in-law replied without any fluctuation: "I only obey the young master's orders, other people's opinions have nothing to do with me."

At this time, the voice of a bodyguard appeared, asking Granny Fengzao what to do.

Feng Zao's mother-in-law said indifferently: "Please go out."

The woman became angry and said aggressively: "I was sent by my wife to see Mr. Mochizuki Jiro. I am my wife's personal assistant. You are just a nanny servant who has taken care of the young master. You have no right to stop me. Let me in !"

Feng Zao's mother-in-law sneered: "You'd better go back and ask. When I was the director of Yijiyuan Hospital, your wife's surname was not Yijiyuan. Ignorant junior! Even if that lady comes in person, she can't step into this house today. Half a step. It is the young master's order not to allow anyone to disturb Mr. Cilang. Since you insist, I will pass this stack of documents to the young master for review, and it will be your own responsibility to provoke the young master's anger."

Granny Fengzao ordered the bodyguards: "Take her away immediately! Don't let her in again!"

The bodyguard acted immediately and apologized: "I'm very sorry, Feng Zaosang, we are negligent in our duty."

Hearing the sound of closing the door, Ci Lang walked back to the dining table and sat down, his mind was full of questions again, did Granny Feng Zao ever serve as the director of the hospital?Although I knew she was a powerful person, I didn't expect her to be so powerful.What is that stack of files?

But Granny Fengzao didn't have any documents in her hands when she came back, and she didn't mention what happened just now. Instead, she took Cilang to continue to familiarize herself with the villa. To: "The bedrooms are all on the third floor. If you are tired, please rest downstairs first. The young master told me that Mr. Ci Lang, you are not used to the Japanese style decoration. You will go upstairs with you when he comes back."

It seems to be very gentle, gentle enough to take care of every little detail; it seems very ruthless, so ruthless that it is arbitrary when making decisions.

Jiro wrote: [You and Yijuin feel very similar to me. 】

Granny Fengzao said meaningfully: "The so-called 'family', isn't that what it is? Because they live together for a long time, they influence each other, and there are similarities. Maybe, the young master and Mr. Cilang will become similar in the future. .”

how is this possible.

Recalling the current appearance of Yijiin Kazumi, Cirou shook his head.

Even if he spends the rest of his life as a pillow for Yijuin, it is impossible for him to have any similarities with Yijuin.

Feng Zao's mother-in-law laughed softly.

Under the urging of Granny Fengzao, Cilang drank a lot of water, saying that he wanted to speed up the metabolism of the drug, but after lunch, Cilang still became sleepy and fell asleep on the sofa. When he woke up, Granny Fengzao had already cooked dinner. He took off his apron and prepared to leave when Yijiyuan entered.

Cilang was very surprised and wrote: [Do you live here? 】

Granny Fengzao explained that she hadn't lived here for a long time to take care of her grandchildren, and she would come over to supervise the housekeeping the next day.Today is a special request from the young master, and I will come over tomorrow.How to arrange it in the future depends on the young master's wishes.

As soon as she finished speaking, Yijiyuan and Chen entered the door.

After Yijiyuan thanked her, Fengzao's mother-in-law said goodbye and left. Yijiyuan seemed to have something to say and sent her out.

Cilang, who stayed in the dining room, noticed a stack of documents on the dining table.

This is the document brought by Ijiin's mother's assistant this morning?If you say you must see yourself, then it is for him to see, right?What kind of document is it?Despite hearing so many things from Fengzao's mother-in-law, the image of Yijiin's mother bowing deeply to him in the Yijiin mansion in the morning is still in Cilang's mind.

Under the conflict between the two sides, even though he knew it shouldn't be, the sense of crisis still prompted Cilang to take a closer look.

It was an extremely favorable condition.

Contract of sale.
