Celebrity ex-girlfriend got revenge on me

Chapter 503 Takanari's Mother is Coming Out

"Who would come to see me, Xiang Wu Kui, at this time in the afternoon? Someone from the chess academy?"

Kitahara Kento pondered this in his mind and went to open the door.

He opened the door, looked up and saw who the two people were. He was immediately startled and looked at them in surprise.

He didn't know the older man, but he would never forget the younger man in his thirties - the reporter Kanai from Weekly Bunshun, who had asked for a huge amount of money to keep quiet about the things he had done!

There is a little homegirl named Amamiya at home who cannot be shown to others. Kitahara Kento immediately half-closed the door again, stared at the reporter Kanai and asked, "Why did you come to see me again?"

The older man bent down, lowered his posture, and said to Kitahara, "Please don't misunderstand, Kitahara-san. I am the editor-in-chief of Weekly Bunshun. I am here to apologize on behalf of Weekly Bunshun."

Apologize?! Kitahara Kento almost suspected that he had heard the wrong word. Isn't this just a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken? When has Weekly Bunshun ever been associated with an apology?

The editor-in-chief winked at Jin Jing, and reporter Jin Jing quickly fumbled in his briefcase, took out four plump and thick envelopes, then bowed his head deeply and handed them to Kitahara with both hands.

"Kanei was ignorant at the beginning and accepted money from Kitahara-san. I have already punished him severely." The editor-in-chief said with a smile on his face.

Kitahara Kento was a little confused by their sudden apology. He pinched the envelope with his fingers. The thickness of the five envelopes added up to at least 10 million yen. It was much more than what he paid for the hush money.

The editor turned to look at reporter Jin Jing and deliberately scolded him, "Go get your things quickly."

Reporter Jin Jing nodded quickly and ran timidly to the car parked outside the yard. He opened the trunk and with both hands, took out large and small bags of various gifts. He ran back and forth four times, and was sweating profusely in the middle of winter before he piled all the gifts at the door of Kitahara's house.

"It's just a small token of my respect." The editor-in-chief said with a smile, "I hope Mr. Kitahara will be tolerant and forgive me. If there is anything I am not satisfied with, please let me know and we will do our best to resolve it."

Kitahara Kento was stunned after hearing this and even wondered if he was having another absurd dream.

This way of Weekly Bunshun's apology was much more absurd than the scene in his dream where he saw Kashiwagi Mayu visiting Amemiya Masahira's house and saying to him, "I'm a visitor," and then leaning close to him and twisting his ear with her hand.

"Shall we help Beiyuan Sauna get in?" the editor-in-chief asked tentatively.

Kitahara Kento was still a little confused and said, "No, I'll get it myself."

"Does Kitahara-san have any other requests?"

"No more, you guys go."

"What about the past?" the editor asked tentatively.

"It's okay, you guys can go now."

The editor-in-chief suddenly felt relieved. Things went much more smoothly than he had imagined.

"Please rest assured, Kitahara-san. From now on, Weekly Bunshun promises that it will no longer investigate or disclose any information about Kitahara-san and his friends." The editor-in-chief paused, then tactfully hinted, "Weekly Bunshun will not investigate or disclose any information about Kitahara-san and his former friends either."

After saying that, the editor-in-chief and reporter Kanai bowed to Kitahara Kento again, then turned and walked towards the car parked outside.

Kitahara Kento watched them drive away in a daze, then looked at the dozen or so packages of gifts piled on the ground, and for a moment he felt as if he were in a dream.

"Crazy," he muttered.

He touched the back of his head, walked to the wall worriedly, stood on tiptoe to take a look, and then opened one of the envelopes, which was filled with brand new 10,000 yen bills.

“All those stains in my life back then have been resolved just like that?” Kitahara Kento felt as if he were in a dream.

Originally, he had considered the Meijin Tournament as his goal, and he was working hard to achieve it. As long as he could become the youngest Meijin title holder in the history of the island nation, he would not be afraid even if his dark history was exposed. At most, he would bow a few times and apologize, and then he could go to school and play chess as usual.

But he didn't expect that Weekly Bunshun would come to his house to apologize for the first time, which completely eliminated his hidden dangers and worries from the root.

Kitahara Kento came back to his senses and thought to himself, "It must be Master Ichitaka Aibu who came to my aid."

"To teach a dog a lesson, it is best for the dog owner to hit the dog."

The sky was clear and cloudless. Kitahara Kento took a long breath. The heavy burden that had been shackled on him suddenly fell to the ground. At this moment, his body felt extremely relaxed and refreshed.

  From now on, I no longer have to worry about those stains in my life.
-

The Takanari family. The piano room on the second floor.

Mother Takanari's ten fingers freely organize the melody on the black and white keys.

After a while, she unexpectedly noticed her husband walking home on the lawn and stone pavement outside the window. She was slightly surprised, got up, and went downstairs to greet him.

Just as Takanari's mother came downstairs, her husband had already come home with a worried look on his face. When he saw her, he said nothing and sat down on the sofa in silence.

Mother Takanari walked behind her husband, gently massaged his temples, and asked in a gentle voice, "Is work not going well?"

Takanari Akiyuki opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped himself.

After talking with Kazutaka Aibu yesterday, he thought seriously for a long time.

His own daughter fell in love with Kitahara Kento, and he was indeed worried at first.

He was worried that Kitahara Kento had a bad character and would hurt Xufeng in the future. He was worried that Kitahara Kento would have a stain on his life and would be questioned or even fiercely opposed by his family. He was worried that Kitahara Kento would be entangled with his ex, and Xufeng would be reluctant to let go, and end up with a broken heart.

And now, at least the first two concerns have been resolved.

Yesterday, Ichitaka Aibu met with him and told him in a calm tone a lot of hidden secrets that he didn't know before.

As a former prosecutor of the Special Investigation Department, he had probably investigated and arrested more prisoners than he had talked to businessmen. Aibu Kazutaka personally came forward to vouch for Kitahara Kento's character. If he continued to doubt Kitahara Kento's character, wouldn't that be tantamount to questioning his ability to judge people?

At the end of the conversation, after talking about Kitahara Kento, Aibu Kazutaka called three old friends and introduced them to him. The subtext was to help him expand his network.

As soon as he met them, he realized that the three people who came were all big shots with considerable reputation and voice in the higher-level capital circle that he was not currently qualified to enter.

This was not only an introduction to his connections, but also a time when he was reconciling with his family. Aibu Ichitaka extended a big hand to steady his shoulders, helping him to straighten his back and stand up straight. When he met his father and brother again in the future, he would be much more confident in what he said.

After all this, Takanari Akiyuki had nothing to say about the matter of Kitahara Kento.

As he was worried that his family might strongly oppose it, Xufeng and Kitahara Kento got together.

Let's not talk about whether the main family can still find out about Kitahara Kento's past after that big shot took action. Even if the main family really found out, it would be easy for him to handle this matter. At that time, I will directly say, if you want to object, don't come to me, go to Aibu Kazutaka to express your strong opposition. My thin arms cannot beat the thick thighs, and I dare not offend anyone on both sides.

However, Takanari Akiyuki estimated in his heart that based on his understanding of his own family, once his family learned about the affair between Kitahara Kento and Sufu, and then learned about the relationship between Kitahara Kento and Aibu Kazutaka, they would not strongly oppose it.

In all likelihood, they would change their attitude and warmly welcome him. They would even ask him to help them build a bridge and get to know Aibu Ichitaka. If they were even more shameless, the main family might even take the initiative to flirt with Kitahara Kento.

Now the only concern left is what will happen if Xufeng refuses to give up and interferes in the dispute between Beiyuan and his ex.

Although he no longer objected to the result of his daughter and Kitahara being together, he was very worried about the process leading to the result.

If his daughter came out on top and succeeded in the end, then everything would be fine. But if, in the end, it was in vain, Xufeng would be sad and heartbroken. Considering this, Takanari Akiyuki was still reluctant and watched Xufeng walk into the fire pit.

Mother Takanari looked at her husband's worried face and asked with concern, "Is Zhaozhi thinking about Xufeng?"

Takanari Akiyuki came back to his senses, sighed softly, and was silent for a while. Then he frankly told what happened yesterday and his final concerns.

"What do you think?" asked Takanari Akiyuki.

Mother Takanari frowned and thought for a long time.

"I agree. Let young people develop their own destiny."

"If Xufeng thinks about it and decides to quit, then we can all be assured of a safe situation. If Xufeng is reluctant to give up and wants to wait and see, no matter what decision she makes, as long as it's not out of line, then let her go."

Mother Gao Li paused for a moment, then explained, "Although we can help Xufeng and help her make a decision that seems to be correct at least for now, we cannot protect Xufeng all her life."

"When Xufeng goes to college and starts working, she won't be with us often. Will she encounter similar difficulties again? Instead of letting her face difficulties again without any experience, why not take advantage of this time when she is still with us and we can take care of her. We can watch her grow up in secret. Even if she fails, is sad, and heartbroken in the end, at least we can still take care of her emotions in time."

Takanari Akiyuki leaned back on the sofa and stared at the ceiling in silence.

Mother Takanari looked at her husband for a moment and said with a smile, "Do you regret rushing to talk to Kitahara Kento?"

Takanari Akiyuki sighed again and said nothing. It would be too unmanly and embarrassing to go to Kitahara Kento again and tell him that I suddenly didn't object.

"Are you worried that Xufeng would be angry with you if he knew that you talked to Beiyuan Xianren about that? Or that he hates you in his heart?"

Takanari Akiyuki was frowning and silent.

Gao Li's mother thought for a moment and said, "I'll go find him and tell him about it, so that Xu Feng won't blame you when he finds out."
