[pseudo] what happened

Bailan's prophecy has always been infallible. When Wujiang came to the castle tower agreed with Shibata Keishi, what Bailan saw was her "brother brother by blood" - Shibata Soma.

It's just that the man standing behind Soma Shibata surprised Wujiang slightly.

But she quickly hid her astonishment, pretending that she had never seen that person before, and slowly walked in front of Shibata Soma.

"You're here, Wujiang."

Nearly a month has passed since their last meeting. When seeing Soma Shibata again, Wue only felt that this boy who had been held in the hands of the Shibata family for a long time, but also lost his childhood because of the Shibata family, seemed to be A lot has changed.

But she couldn't tell what had changed.

"It seems that you have had a good month this month."

Without the sharpness of the last meeting, and the powerlessness and compromise afterwards, Shibata Soma looks a bit like Shinagawa Wue's childhood memory, the one who would always stand in front of him and treat him gently brother.

It's a pity that everyone changed later.

Shibata Soma became the ideal successor of the Shibata family and began to alienate his mother and sister; while Shinagawa Kirie disliked the environment of the Shibata family more and more, and even disappeared because of her appearance in the end.

Wue looked at the boy in front of him, she was not the Shinagawa Wue who grew up with Shibata Soma in Shibata's family, and she was not his sister.So no matter whether the other party plays the card of warmth or chooses other means, she will not care, let alone be moved by it.

She only wondered if the other party's change of attitude was another new method used by the Shibata family.

However, this distrust of Wujiang did not show on her face, she just bowed slightly to the other party, looking rusty and polite but not humble.

"Long time no see, Shibata-kun."

Seeing Wujiang like this, Shibata Soma opened his mouth to say something, but he still didn't say anything in the end, he just glanced at Wujiang, and finally sighed softly.

"Let's go."

Saying so, Shibata Souma left the castle tower first.

Wujiang didn't respond, she just followed the other person's footsteps silently, but exchanged a tacit look with the man who had been silently following Shibata Souma as she passed by.

The place where Shibata Keishi was waiting was not far from the castle tower, so instead of taking a car, they chose to walk there.

Wujiang thinks that she and Shibata's family have nothing to talk about now. Even if Shibata Soma is her half-brother, her feelings for him are not special.

Profound, coupled with the completely different views of the two and the many unhappiness caused last time, if Shibata Soma hadn't taken the initiative to speak, she would never have made a sound.

Besides, what she cares about now...

Glancing at the man following him and Shibata Soma, Wu Jiang's mood was complicated.

It's no wonder that Bai Lan has first-hand information about Shibata's family, but if he had already set up an eyeliner at Shibata's house, it wouldn't be so strange if he thought about it—it's just that it doesn't look like his style.

Yes, no matter how fierce the fight with Pengo Lie and the alliance family was in the past—although Wujiang always believed that it was Bai Lan deliberately giving Peng Liefang room to breathe, so as to see the plot of their dying struggle— ——But even so, did Bai Lan ever place someone there for Peng Lie?

Bai Lan's favorite way is to make a simple situation the most complicated, and reap the benefits at the end.

So why did he do it this time... Could it be that there is something hidden?

Wujiang squinted her emerald eyes, wondering how the Shibata family got involved with Bailan this time.

Although the power of the Shibata family is great, it is only limited to Japan, and judging from what Bai Lan said today, he doesn't want to confront Vongola's people for the time being, so he won't extend his hand to Japan.Even if he wants to expand his power in Japan, it is definitely not the Shibata family that is increasingly short-lived that stands in his way.

So what exactly happened that brought the two parties who had no conflict of interest together?

"arrive."

While Wujiang was still struggling with this relationship network, Shibata Soma's voice suddenly interrupted her contemplation. Wujiang looked up and found that this is a tea house with a strong Japanese atmosphere. Thinking of the Shibata family's face-saving style, Wujiang can conclude that this place is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.

Wujiang would not change clothes specially for the members of the Shibata family to meet them, so he was still wearing the casual clothes he wore when he went out today. Fortunately, the shirt, knitted sweater and slacks did not look too casual ——At least not the kind that is blocked by others as soon as you enter the door.

Following Shibata Soma into the tea house, a smiling waitress in a lady's kimono greeted them as soon as they entered the door.

He also didn't listen carefully to what Shibata Souma said to the other party. He only knew that after a while, the waitress led them to the door of a private room on the second floor, bowed politely and retreated.

Soma Shibata knocked on the door, and after hearing a reply from inside the room, he opened the sliding door and entered the private room with Wu Jiang.

As for the man who has been following them, then

It was Hou who was at the door and did not enter together.

When the sliding door was opened, Wujiang saw a woman besides Shibata Keishi in the room, wearing a dark kimono with a middle furisode, with her hair tied up in a bun, with two hair accessories stuck obliquely on the bun as decoration.

The woman looked well maintained. If Wujiang hadn't known who she was from the very beginning, she would never have imagined that a woman in her early forties could look like she was just 30 years old, without even a single wrinkle.There was a slight smile on the woman's face, she looked gentle and dignified like an outstanding lady, but Wujiang was no stranger to what kind of person she was.

Besides, if you observe carefully, you can find that this woman is imitating the appearance of Chie Shinagawa when she was Mrs. Shibata.

But compared to my own mother...

Wujiang sneered, even if this woman puts on a golden dress and puts on the most beautiful makeup, she can't stand shoulder to shoulder with her mother, let alone surpass her own mother.

"Father, mother."

Shibata Soma knelt down opposite the two, and then saluted.

His address made Wujiang raise her eyebrows, but she didn't explode on the spot. She knelt down and sat in Shibata Soma's seat, and then smiled and saluted, but she was not as respectful as Shibata Soma. It is only limited to etiquette.

"Long time no see, Shibata-san."

Her address made Keishi Shibata's face change immediately, and the woman sitting beside him showed a bit of dissatisfaction because of Wujiang's ignorance.

"Wujiang, you..."

Keishi Shibata's expression became a little disappointed, and perhaps more guilty, "Are you still unwilling to forgive Dad?"

What the other party said was not unexpected by Wu Jiang. Compared with his father Shibata Masaki, Shibata Keishi may only be evaluated as weak and incompetent, and even worse than his son Shibata Souma in some things. .This is why the old man of the Shibata family bypassed his son and directly named Shibata Soma as the heir.

After all, what the Shibata family needs is a ruthless and decisive patriarch, not a writer who can't even handle women's affairs cleanly and only writes novels all day long.

"dad?"

Wujiang seemed to hear some joke, and when he saw the two of them, his smile deepened once, "Did you forget something, Mr. Shibata, I seem to have nothing to do with you long ago."

"Of course, can you please call me by my surname? I don't think my relationship with the Shibata family is close enough to allow people from the Shibata family to call me by my first name."

Wujiang's indifferent words made the expressions of the two men present

It all became a little ugly, but the woman still maintained a smile on her face, but that smile was also awkward, as if it was about to be unable to maintain it.

"Wujiang is also true. It's rare to meet Dad once and make the atmosphere so awkward."

The woman seemed to be blaming Wujiang for his ignorance, she turned around and took Keishi Shibata's arm and smiled as if trying to smooth things over, "But I believe Wujiang definitely didn't do it on purpose, so Qingshi-kun, don't blame her. She's still young."

The woman's words made Shibata's complexion a little better. He looked at Wujiang and said again, "I know you are still blaming me for divorcing your mother, but after all, there is no way. I have been married to your mother for nearly 20 years. In the past year, the relationship has faded long ago, and it is for her own good to divorce her."

"As for you, I asked you to follow your mother to prevent her from being dependent on her when she gets old. You must know that Soma is the heir of the Shibata family after all, and it is impossible to take care of your mother in everything."

Shibata Keishi said so, looking at Wujiang with a bit of hope in his eyes.

I hope that Wujiang can understand his difficulty.

"Of course, that's what the old man meant."

As if he was afraid that Wujiang would continue to hate Shibata's family and General Shibata, Keishi Shibata quickly explained, but just after he finished speaking, he found that Wujiang's expression remained unchanged.

She looked at him with a half-smile, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, her emerald eyes were full of indifference, as if she didn't care about his explanation just now, and it seemed... she didn't care about Shibata's family at all.

"and then?"

Wujiang tapped the table twice with his knuckles unhurriedly, looking at the cup of green tea still steaming in front of him, he suddenly thought of the cup of black tea that day when he was at Shibata’s home—it seems that Shibata The general didn't seem to have told his good son all the details of that day.

"Just say what you want to say, Mr. Shibata. Do you want me not to hate your Shibata family? Or do you want me to obediently listen to your so-called elders and marry on behalf of the Shibata family?"

Wujiang looked at Shibata Keishi's expression of being told something, and the smile on his face gradually deepened.

Speaking of which, Keishi Shibata's personality really doesn't look like a member of the Shibata family. Compared with General Shibata, he is much easier to deal with. Even with the woman next to him, it is not enough to change the way at the negotiating table She came here to practice for a round because she was determined to seek the best interests for the family.

It just so happened that she was in a terrible mood right now.

"Since you know Wujiang..."

"I said, please call me Shinagawa, Shibata-san."

Wujiang interrupted the other party, even if she used the honorific address to the other party, she did not see the innocence in her tone.

How much respect is there, as if the existence of this title is purely to increase the distance between them.

"Kirie, you..." Shibata Keishi wanted to say something, but finally changed his name in the sight of Wujiang, "Okay, Shinagawa."

Seeing that Shibata Keishi gave in, Wujiang didn't say anything, but changed the subject, "Actually, there are some things I didn't want to explain to you Shibata's family, but since you mentioned it today, let me make it clear too. , It also saves you from being entangled in these issues in the future."

She spoke very seriously, although she knew that this might hurt Keishi Shibata, but if he chose to do that in the first place, he would have to bear all the consequences for his cowardice.

"First of all, it's my mother's problem. In fact, I don't blame you for divorcing my mother at all. In fact, I'm so glad that you chose to follow Shibata's words and let me sever ties with Shibata's family. "

She stated slowly, without a hint of a smile on her face, and her words were as indifferent as her expression, "Actually, I have always thought that you are not worthy of my mother, just like you Shibata family thinks that I am worthy of my mother." It’s not like you, since both sides hate each other, it’s better to break it off earlier so that it’s clean and tidy.”

"Speaking of the issue of future support, you don't need to worry about it," Wu Jiang shrugged, seemingly speaking casually, but it made the two people on the opposite side feel at ease. It was part of the divorce conditions back then, besides, your surname is Shibata and our surname is Shinagawa, they are originally two unrelated families, even if your Shibata's family backs up on the issue of mother's future support, our Shinagawa family doesn't need it."

Wujiang glanced at Shibata Souma with a livid face, then turned his head and continued, "Of course, Shibata-kun's mother is someone else now, so why would he think of my mother?"

"Wujiang!"

Shibata Soma scolded in a low voice, but after seeing Wue's expression, he still looked away guiltily.

"By the way, when it comes to this, I have to mention what happened on the phone just now. After all, if I don't clarify some things, it's okay to let you continue to misunderstand like this."

Kirie glanced at the woman sitting next to Shibata Keishi, and suddenly gave a weird smile, "My Shinagawa Kirie's mother is only Shinagawa Chie, she was in the past, and she will be in the future. Since you, Shibata's family and I have no Half of the relationship, and you are not my father in name, so there is no such thing as a stepmother."

She looked at the woman with a bit of sarcasm in her smile, "I will be very troubled if you are so self-indulgent."

"you……"

The woman's face turned pale, she obviously didn't expect Wujiang to be so straightforward

She said the words without hesitation - still in front of the two father and son, which made her feel ashamed.

"Enough, Wujiang!"

Shibata Keishi slapped the table heavily, looking at Wujiang with a livid face, and he didn't know whether he was angry at Wujiang's disrespectful attitude, or because her words hit her heart.

"After all, we are also your elders. Is this how you talk to elders?"

"You don't seem to have heard what I said clearly, Mr. Shibata," Wu Jiang also suppressed the smile on his face, "The people of Shibata's family have nothing to do with me, elders? Do you want me to profit for your Shibata family because of the torn relationship? It’s too good to think."

"When your Shibata family was prosperous, how did you treat me and my mother? After you kicked us out, you wanted to let me, the daughter you have always looked down upon? Since you think that men are superior to women, you can support a family. It’s men and women who have to obey, so why don’t you take the lead at this time?”

Wujiang sneered, "You guys are ashamed to call the glory gained by the marriage of the abandoned woman your own, and you are not afraid that the Shibata family will be poked in the back."

When Wue said this, Shibata Keishi's anger was like being poured with cold water, and it immediately disappeared - not even a flame was left.

"I know you are still annoyed by our previous actions, Kirie," Keishi Shibata struggled desperately, "but..."

"Please call me Shinagawa."

Wujiang was neither happy nor angry, and even said in a somewhat formulaic way.

"And you said annoyed? No, I'm not annoyed by your behavior of kicking my mother and me out of Shibata's house."

Wujiang looked at her coldly, "On the contrary, I am very grateful to you for throwing me and my mother out of this muddy water. But your repeated harassment now has made me dare to get bored."

Shibata Keishi looked at Wujiang in confusion, "But today is the first time I've come to see you..."

"Yeah, the first time..."

She glanced at Soma Shibata who had already looked away guiltily, "Let's not talk about what happened last time, I'm really curious about your Shibata family's intelligence network, why I only arrived in Osaka less than half an hour today, You can know exactly where I am?"

"That's because..." Shibata Keishi muttered, but he couldn't tell why.

"That's because Shibata's family has been monitoring my actions all the time?" Wujiang suddenly smiled, "You guys are so busy, you have such time to monitor me, and then use various methods to force me to go for you Marriage, why not think about how to regain a little advantage in the market."

Keishi Shibata

Wu Jiang choked when he spoke, and finally hung his head in shame and stopped speaking.

Wu Jiang was no longer aggressive and sent the other party another journey into despair, but she didn't intend to stop here—since she had talked about it today, she didn't expect it to happen—at least she couldn't make it cheaper. woman.

She turned her head to look at the woman sitting next to Shibata Keishi, with a smile on her face, but it did not make people think that she was smiling, "Actually, I think you are quite amazing, Ms. Suzuki Yuka, or I should Call you Mrs. Shibata? Or Miss Su Ting?"

The face of the woman who was thrown out by Wujiang changed drastically, but she quickly came to her senses and said in a nostalgic tone, "Mingbi gave birth to a good daughter."

"Hearing you call my mother's name in such a tone, I just feel disgusted."

Wujiang did not back down, and with one sentence, the other party could no longer hold back the smile on his face, "Besides, I think if my mother was here now, she would also say to you, 'Please call me Shinagawa'—you Not worthy of calling her by her first name."

"Your mother and I have been classmates and friends for many years, so there's nothing wrong with calling her that."

Shibata Yuka wanted to argue something, but after smiling at Wue, she gave up just as quickly as Shibata Keishi.

She suddenly realized that Wujiang didn't know everything about them, on the contrary, she even knew more than she and Keishi Shibata combined.

"Classmate? Friend? That's right... Mother is really lucky to have a classmate and friend like you."

Wu Jiang snorted, "Have you stabbed her in the dark for so many years? Let's not talk about the past. You robbed your best friend's husband and caused discord in the other's family. In the end, both parties were forced to divorce. Finally, the mistress came to power. .With such a good method as yours, my mother has lost in this respect."

"I..." Shibata Yuka still wanted to argue for herself, but when she thought that all her previous words were useless to Wujiang, she finally tore her face away, "It can only be blamed on your mother for not being able to keep a man. It has nothing to do with me."

"Indeed, but for a man like this, mother can give it to you for nothing."

Wujiang didn't mind that "such a man" in her mouth was her biological father, and he was even sitting here, and he was not polite, "It's just that there is something I've always wanted to ask you."

Shibata Yuka was startled, then laughed out loud, "I don't know what else you don't know."

"yes……"

Wujiang didn't mind the other party's sharpness, so he asked with a smile, "I don't know if Mrs. Shibata's household registration is okay."

——Yeah, I don’t know who it was at the beginning, crying to my “years old”

Classmates and friends of her husband" swear that if she robs the other party's husband, she will die with a household registration booklet.

Shibata Yuka obviously didn't expect that Wue would ask this question, let alone that she would know about it when she was young at the time, thinking that there is no household registration book in Japan, she used Chinese and Shinagawa Chie to express her heart Those who swear poisonously, naturally believe that Chie Shinagawa told Wujiang.

"Since I have said all that should be said and asked all that should be asked, then it is time for me to leave."

Seeing that Shibata Keishi was still in a slump, and Shibata Yuka's expression was obscure, and Wujiang had no intention of continuing this farce, she got up and prepared to leave as she spoke.

Shibata Soma, who hadn't spoken much, stood up after him.

Wujiang glanced at the other party, and asked provocatively, "What's the matter? Do you still want to continue?"

Who knew that the other party didn't seem to hear the provocation in her words, and just walked towards the door first.

"I'll take you out."

Wujiang looked at Shibata Soma's back and raised his eyebrows, but he still followed the other party's footsteps, leaving Shibata Keishi and his wife in the house, just like before they came.

"correct."

When he walked to the sliding door, Wu Jiang stopped suddenly, turned his head to look at them, "There is another sentence that I want to give to you two, which is very suitable."

"People are not enough to swallow an elephant."

Don't expect things you shouldn't have, it's time to wake up from some dreams.

Walking on the corridor of the tea house with Soma Shibata, Wu Jiang took the initiative to provoke the topic this time, "I never thought that you would let me say those things today."

"Father, it's time for him to wake up."

From Shibata Souma's voice, he couldn't hear his emotions clearly, "Actually, as a member of Shibata's family, sometimes I think my father is the luckiest."

He can write the novel he wants to write, and he can ignore the right and wrong of the Shibata family and even the darkness of the upper class-especially when he is the only son of the Shibata family, maybe because Shibata Masaki has always been in power, and he himself Maybe it's because I have no intention of taking charge of the Shibata family.

When General Shibata came to his senses, he realized that his only son had grown crooked, so he was eager to make his eldest grandson the heir.

As for the reasons for driving the mother and daughter out of Shibata's house, Wujiang can more or less imagine it.

First, Mr. Shibata really doesn’t like their mother and daughter; second, he is afraid that after he leaves and Shibata Soma inherits the family business, Shibata Keishi will be weak and incompetent, and Shinagawa Chie will use this to control Shibata Soma and the entire Shibata family.

Although she, Shinagawa Kirie, is a girl, no one can be sure if she wants to take over the Shibata family business

idea.

Only after all the potential hidden dangers of their mother and daughter are eliminated, can he safely hand over Shibata's family to Shibata Souma, his promising grandson.

——God knows that the mother and daughter don't care about the mess of Shibata's family at all.

"Actually, it doesn't matter what you think."

Walking out of this tea house with Soma Shibata, Wu Jiang looked at the scenery on the street and curled up his lips, "The important thing is, I hope today is the last time I have tea with you Shibata's family."

"If there is a third time, I don't think I even know what impulsive action I will make."

"Of course, I don't think I need to say more about my mother and I's surveillance issues, as well as our security issues, right?"

Shibata Soma turned around and looked at his sister, who was his own mother, "I can't guarantee whether the old man will do anything to you - after all, you also know that I can't persuade him. But as long as it is within my ability , I will stop it."

Although it was such an uncertain answer, Wu Jiang was very satisfied.

"I hope so."

If Shibata's family made another move, she would not be able to prevent what would happen.

The author has something to say: Happy Christmas Eve, this chapter should be enough, right?The girl's venomous tongue instantly kills the Quartet [cover face

And I finally wrote the Chinese name of Chie's mother (laughing with my arms akimbo) I have planned this day for a long time!

The next chapter is the competition. Even so, it probably won't be too long. It will only be two or three chapters at most, and the next chapter will completely solve the Shibata family.

I'm going to finish the second volume before this year ← I don't know if I can do it...

Some people may say that Wue is too strict and ruthless to her biological father, but you must know that she is not the Shinagawa Wue who grew up in Shibata's house, but only crossed over when Shibata Keishi and Shinagawa Chie divorced. Jiang Wu has been following Chie ever since.Compared to the Shibata family who wanted to use her to marry for profit, she was naturally helping Chie.

And nominally, she and Shibata Keishi have severed their father-daughter relationship, and she has no relationship with Shibata's family now.
