Chapter 191 But, I refuse! (please subscribe)
"I am back."
When Shana Ueda walked into the house, he adjusted his mood and put on a smile.
"Welcome home." Haruko Ueda smiled while standing not far away, but her eyes were a little worried, "I'm at school today, how are you?"
"Nothing special. What about your father?"
Ueda Haruko took her hand: "Your father, he went to the Xia Club tonight."
"...I see." The smile on Ueda Xana's face slowly turned into worry, "Is it because of what happened yesterday, other householders will blame Dad?"
"That's something your father can handle." Haruko Ueda touched her face, "compared to that, Dalang made a phone call at noon today. You're not at school or at home, so he's worried. ."
"..." Ueda Xana pursed his lips and did not speak, feeling a little aggrieved.
Worry? Worry about it.
"Did you call him in the morning? Dalang said that what he said on the phone in the morning was a joke. After you get home, call him back."
"That rascal!"
Ueda Xana gritted his teeth and sighed.
Just kidding, kidding again.
Is it a joke about what you said last night, or is it a joke on the phone this morning that you said that yesterday? It's a joke!
That's too damning!
"What happened?" Ueda Haruko looked down at her eyes and asked gently.
"No." Shana Ueda shook his head, "Mom, I'm going to practice first."
She practiced for a long time, but she was always absent-minded.
Hesitating in his eyes, he finally put away the bamboo knife and ran to the bathroom calmly.
It is very common to go in and come out quickly.
"Mom, isn't dinner yet?"
"Just wait a bit longer."
"Oh...then I...let's call him back first..."
Ueda Haruko raised the corners of her mouth with her back to her.
Ueda Xana sat next to the phone, took a breath and started dialing. After the voice in the receiver rang, she felt that her heartbeat began to speed up.
"Calm down! Calm down! Breathe, breathe!"
She warned herself secretly in her heart, and put her other hand on her heart, exhaling softly.
"Hello? It's me..." After the call, she pretended to be calm and said in a low voice because she didn't want to be heard by her mother.
Tao Zhiming's voice came over clearly: "Hello? Who is it?"
"Me! Shana!" Ueda Shana gritted his teeth and raised his voice, not knowing if he really didn't catch it, or if he was deliberately teasing himself again.
"Shana... I'm sorry, what I said in the morning was a joke."
Ueda Shana was suddenly at a loss for words.
Do I have to ask now, is it true that you like me?
Too shameful!
Who cares about this!
"You left school and didn't go home, where did you go?" Tao Zhiming's voice continued to come.
"Where do I go, I want you to take care of me?" Ueda Xana said, feeling a little regretful and worried. However, he said this stubbornly.
"Then it's fine." After he finished saying this, he didn't speak for a while.
Ueda Xana pinched his leg in annoyance and stayed silent with him.
After a while, his voice came again: "...Mobile phone calls are very expensive."
"You told my mother to tell me to call me back. What's the matter?" She blurted out, continuing to regret and worry.
Sure enough, the other side of the phone fell silent again, followed by a long sigh.
"Xana, although I have no relatives, I am a descendant of the Xia Kingdom in neon, but in my heart, I also have my dignity and pride. I don't want to be regarded as someone who clings to the status and wealth of the Tian family."
"I know you're not that kind of person!"
"Anyway, I'm a little worried because I know you left school in a bad mood."
"Then...what's not a joke?" Ueda Xana felt a hint of sweetness in her heart, biting her lips in anticipation.
"I promised to help you defeat Morijiro, it's not a joke. I can only take it as a joke." Tao Zhiming laughed on the phone, and Ueda Xana heard self-deprecation for some reason, "Here In Tokyo, until I can really stand on my own, there is only one thing related to me being someone who can’t be ignored, so I won’t joke about it. Morijiro said he’s going to kill me, so it’s not a joke.”
Ueda Xana's eyes dimmed: "So before, was it just a game-like attitude? Promise me to defeat Morijiro..."
"If you have to say that, yes. Life is like a game, and you even have a clear script. Ueda-sama said that I like to pursue excitement, and when I promised you, it was a bit of this mentality. The big men of the chess, how will I panic and be shocked when I face the chess game? I have such a mentality."
Ueda Xana murmured: "Like a gambler, borrowing so much money and earning it back with foreign exchange. I ran to disrupt the consortium's plans for Takeda's manufacturing, and now I am willing to give up such profits, and join Sun Jun, who is on the brink of desperation. Fight against Morijiro. Dalang, why are you living such a crazy life?"
"Because, I've already died once. Every day after that, it's more. It's not crazy, it's unshackled. With this mentality, everything I want to do Instead, it miraculously succeeded. You say, what's wrong with this?"
Ueda Xana's eyes were red, and his heart was full of sorrow: "What if there is no more good luck? There are already enemies..."
"So I practice kendo seriously! I make more friends! I accumulate my strength! In this new life, no one will beat me again! I want to live in this world according to my heart, and then I won't let anyone control my heart!"
His words were sonorous and firm, and Xana Ueda could imagine the way he said these words before his hazy eyes.
After the tears fell, she pressed her heart and said as calmly as possible: "I understand."
After a while, Tao Zhiming on the other end of the phone calmed down and continued: "Now, the new script of our life has intersected. I have already entered the play, but the part about my future can only be done according to me. I don't want to be dictated to where you want to go! Even if you have appeared more and more in my heart, I don't want to!"
Ueda Shana's tears were washed down, I don't know if it was happiness or sadness.
"So, don't ask me which parts are serious, okay?" The voice from the phone softened, "You don't need to confirm a really firm mind. What I heard from my mouth, in case it's deception What? I don't want to deceive you. Ask Ueda-sama at night, what was the situation when he said that to you at that time."
"...I...get it." Ueda Shana finally showed a sob from her voice.
"Let's talk about it first, rest early in the evening. The eyes of others in the school don't matter. What does your life have to do with them?"
A "beep" sound came from the receiver. After Ueda Xana put down the phone, he sat there twitching his shoulders.
After a while, a warm embrace appeared behind him.
After Ueda Haruko hugged her shoulders, Ueda Xana turned around and threw herself into her arms, crying out aloud.
"What happened?" Ueda Haruko could only sigh and gently stroked her back.
Ueda Xana just shook his head, but refused to speak.
What can be done?
When met him, he was already like this.
His identity, his family members who died suddenly in a car accident, the sincerity he gave and the betrayal he suffered, and his will to rise from the most cowardly and bravest suicide, made him who he is now.
Even if he really has entered his heart that has been on guard, he will not take the initiative to accept the identity of his son-in-law.
That is what makes her heart too, he is strong, serious, confident and proud.
He didn't think of her as the eldest lady, but only regarded her as a man who could amuse and be ashamed.
…
Kinoshita Xiufeng looked at him blankly, unable to speak for a long time.
Tao Zhiming put down the phone and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
"...Those words just now are very powerful..." Kinoshita Xiufeng said with complicated eyes, "I was willing to do Takeda Manufacturing, did you want to see the panic of the bigwigs? You guy, isn't this crazy? "
"Brother Xiufeng, I said these words in front of you because I have truly accepted you as an inseparable companion in the future." Tao Zhiming calmly looked at the table in front of him, "In Mitsubishi's eyes, I am yours. A card. In the eyes of other forces within Sumitomo, we are only the new generals of Chief Anzai and Chairman Beichuan. Over the years, you are often worried that someday you will encounter overwhelming pressure, right?"
Kinoshita Xiufeng was silent for a long time before he said: "In the fifth grade of elementary school, my father died of pneumonia. In the first grade of middle school, my mother died of illness. My brother raised me. After graduating from high school, I started as a construction worker. I got to where I am now. The year before last, the 300 million yen person who was walking was killed by 3 gunmen in the hospital. Although some people think that it was me who also managed the real estate, it was not me, but it made me sober. Since then After that, I started to think about the road ahead until I met you."
Tao Zhiming nodded: "So, we can use each other, but we already have a certain strength, and we can't fall into the state of being completely dominated by others."
"Are we using each other?" Kinoshita Xiufeng stared at him.
Tao Zhiming smiled: "The friendship established from mutual use is the most innocent. We have already seen each other's deepest scheming, and we can both be at ease with each other. Brother Xiufeng, start to guard together what we desperately occupied. Profit!"
Kinoshita Xiufeng sighed: "If only I also had a beautiful daughter."
"...I call you big brother, but you want to be my father?"
"What on earth is Ueda Masahiro thinking? You asked that Miss Ueda to ask his father, how could Ueda Masahiro not hear that you are lowering her daughter's expectations? What is it to lift the **** and live according to your will... However, I was almost a while ago. I thought I was watching a movie. It's like a **** drama between a ruthless prodigal son and a good lady, you bastard!"
"It's alright," Tao Zhiming said cheerfully, "In front of Lord Ueda, I also spoke frankly. If I want to use me, I will take revenge, and I will choose to seduce his daughter to give him a headache. He knows that I am a What kind of person, I am very honest."
"... After saying that, how can you still stay at Ueda's house?" Kinoshita Xiufeng's eyes filled with disbelief.
"Probably this is how the Chinese used to entertain guests. That's why I didn't sleep all night! I was worried that he would hack me to death with his sword in the middle of the night!"
"... Hirano Takao now knows what kind of person you are?"
"Ueda-sama should tell him back."
"I'm curious about his expression when he heard those words."
"It's about the same as you just now."
The door was pushed open, and Anzai Zenwei hurried over: "How is it? Although I know that Mitsubishi will definitely meet you, a key person, how could Takao Hirano make such a request?"
"Yes." Tao Zhiming sighed, "The Ueda family's fame, wealth, and a beautiful daughter. Who wouldn't be tempted by such a request?"
Anzhai Shanwei couldn't help widening his eyes: "What do you... think?"
"If you agree to this request, you can get those, and you can also be the adopted son of Ueda-sama and become the direct line of President Hirano? Mitsubishi and Sumitomo are allies in the matter of the National Railway, and they can always negotiate about the land. A plan that everyone is satisfied with is really a very powerful proposal. A normal person, who can’t be tempted?”
Tao Zhiming raised his head and said solemnly, "But, I refuse!"
You see, it's been a long time again.
