Chapter 285 Birthday (4)
"fool!"
Suddenly, Mrs. Kiyono raised her voice sharply.
The servants all lowered their heads, and the living room was so quiet that one could almost hear the sound of waves on Tokyo Bay.
Toru Watanabe had never heard Mrs. Kiyono speak in such a harsh tone, and he stared at that place in a daze for a moment.
Miki Kujo stood beside him, staring at Rin Kiyono with her charming eyes.
Mrs. Kujo was the only one present who remained calm. She found a sofa and sipped red wine contentedly.
"If you don't change, get out of this house now!" Mrs. Qingye's tone was still excited, but she lowered her voice again.
Others might not be able to hear it clearly, but once Watanabe Toru noticed it, he would not miss it unless even Kiyono Rin couldn't hear it.
"I only go my own way." Qingye Rin said firmly.
"Go your own way?! Then where do you plan to take the Qingye family? I don't even ask you to change your habit of only telling the truth, you just need to stop hating liars!"
In response to her mother's words, Qingye Rin lowered her eyes and responded with silence.
Mrs. Kiyono looked at her daughter and said, "Watanabe-kun doesn't lie? Don't you get along well with him?"
Qingye Rin looked up at Watanabe Toru, then turned to his mother and said:
"Mother, please allow me to leave the Qingye family."
Mrs. Kiyono was so shocked that she was speechless for a moment.
Even though they couldn't hear it, everyone in the living room felt the atmosphere become more depressing.
After a long while, Mrs. Qingye said in a slightly hoarse voice: "There are some things that I indulge you more than anyone else, but there are some things that I cannot forgive more than anyone else."
"Mother, I'm sorry."
"Are you sure you want to leave this house?"
"I don't want to, but maybe as those people say, I'm not normal, but I won't give up on myself, I won't compromise, I don't want to deal with people I don't like, and I won't change myself to gain recognition from outsiders."
"Do you know what it means to do this?" Mrs. Kiyono said almost in pain.
"I lost everything from the Seino family." Seino Rin said calmly, "I don't want to show off, and I am very grateful to the Seino family for raising me for many years, but over the years, I have learned enough skills to live a stable life. If the Seino family needs my abilities in the future, I am willing to help."
Toru Watanabe even saw that Mrs. Kiyono's bright eyes were bloodshot and delicate blue veins appeared on her snow-white neck.
"Are you really going to give up this home?"
"I don't want to, but I have to make a choice."
"I finally understand." Mrs. Qingye looked at her daughter, "You have no feelings for me for so many years."
“If not, I wouldn’t be here today.”
"How can you treat me like this?!" The scream pierced the silence of the living room, and even Mrs. Kujo subconsciously quieted down.
"I am myself first." Kiyono Rin's voice was steady, just like the sound of waves in Tokyo Bay, not affected by anyone.
"What about the Qingye family ? Give it to those so-called relatives? They are not my biological children, so what's the difference between them and outsiders!"
Qingye Rin remained silent and determined.
The mother and daughter were in a stalemate.
Miki Kujo took a plate of fruit and first used a knife and fork to pick up a piece of watermelon and gave it to Toru Watanabe.
"Don't be silly," she whispered.
Watanabe Toru bit off the watermelon from the fork, opened the fan of "Rate no Tobi", blocked their noses and lips, and whispered to her:
"What do you think?"
"It's not surprising that she made such a decision." Kujo Miki fed herself a piece of watermelon, "It has always been like this."
"Is there a story?"
"I'll tell you when I get home tonight. It's about to start over there." Miki Kujo ate fruit with a smile, watching the excitement .
Watanabe Toru put away his fan and looked over. He saw Mrs. Kiyono take a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"The Qingye family is yours, whether you want it or not, you must change that habit of yours."
"Actually there is a way." Qingye Rin looked at her mother.
"There is no way."
"I will marry Watanabe Toru and let him take care of the Seino family, and I will be responsible for supervising and supporting him."
“…”
Miki Kujo paused while eating the fruit, then continued eating with an expressionless face.
Mrs. Kiyono looked over here.
"Is this the Seino family declaring war on the Kujo family?" Mrs. Kujo said with a smile, not affected at all.
"Then let's start a war." Mrs. Kiyono said with a smile, as if it was someone else who was angry just now.
After saying that, she turned to look at her daughter, and the smile on her face gradually faded.
"If you can do it before the end of the year, I will agree with your choice. If not, you must listen to me."
"good."
After a quarrel, the birthday party continued, music played in the living room, and a simple dance party began.
The two ladies danced together, taunted each other, and had already started war mode.
Watanabe Toru and Kujo Miki together.
"What's the point of insisting on being yourself despite so many people's opposition?" Kujo Miki said softly.
"I can't say she's right, but she's definitely not wrong." Watanabe Toru hugged her slender waist under her dress, feeling her graceful figure, and couldn't help whispering: "Wear this tonight."
Kujo Miki looked at him with a smile and said, "Your beloved Kiyono Rin is in dire straits, and you still have the heart to think about these things?"
"No matter what time it is, I miss your body. Besides, there's nothing I can do for her except support her. I've been supporting her all along, and nothing will change just because she had a fight with someone."
"Support? You want to marry her? Take over the Seino family?"
"I promised her that I would support her at all times, just like I promised you that I would love you and marry you."
"What about half a year later? What will you do if Qing Ye Lin fails to do it?"
"Didn't you hear what her mother said just now? Whether Qingye Rin is willing or not, the Qingye family is hers. With this idea in mind, her mother will never hurt her. In this case, I don't need to do anything deliberately."
"What if there's harm?" Kujo Miki continued to ask.
"Then I'll have to ask you for permission to act."
"what are you up to?"
"See how far Kiyono Rin wants to go in revenge," said Toru Watanabe.
"As the heir of a family, you enjoy everything the family brings, but you are unwilling to pay for the family. Do you think this is right?"
"It's hard to tell right from wrong in this kind of thing. Whether a person is a parent or a child, they are themselves first. Can it be considered wrong to want to be themselves? She didn't completely disregard family affection."
Miki Kujo put her hands on his shoulders, and their postures were no longer standard dance moves.
"If only you were really Kiyono Rin's twin, all the problems would be solved and I wouldn't have to suffer so much when I was a kid."
"That could be bad."
"Um?"
"Kiyono Rin and I are twins. We must have grown up together. Maybe we have already done something illegal secretly." Watanabe Toru held her slender waist with his hands and gently exerted force, and their bodies pressed closer.
"What's illegal?" Kujo Miki's voice became excited and mysterious, as if she wanted to confess her unbearable desire to him.
"You had a child at a very young age?"
"I don't understand. Put it bluntly." She teased.
"Let's talk when we get back," Watanabe Toru put his lips close to her ear, "Tonight, I'll let you know how many dirty words I know."
"If it's not dirty and obscene enough, and your sister is not satisfied, then I will punish you."
At the end of the song, Mrs. Kujo asked Toru Watanabe to dance with her.
"Wait for me to ask Meiji for permission to act," he said.
"Go ahead." Miki Kujo felt a little dry in the mouth as she drank lemon water.
Mrs. Kujo was dressed in a seductive and luxurious manner, revealing her snow-white and attractive shoulders and her plump breasts.
Watanabe Toru didn't look away, kept his distance, and placed his hands where they should be.
"Relax, if you're so nervous, I'll think you care about me."
Watanabe Toru pretended not to hear: "Do you have something to talk to me about?"
"What a bunch of clever little devils." Mrs. Kujo sighed and could smell the aroma of red wine.
She lowered her voice to make it more charming:
"How did you discuss with Meiji about what happened just now?"
"We didn't discuss much, just a few simple words, mostly flirting."
"Flirting? Tell me about it."
Watanabe Toru remained silent and danced obediently to the rhythm.
Mrs. Kujo's dress fluttered, she turned around gracefully, and fell into his arms with a warm fragrance.
"I don't want to ask about the relationship between the three of you. If you can get Meiji to be willing, it doesn't matter how many lovers you have."
"I am a little surprised by your attitude."
"I don't want to quarrel with my daughter." Mrs. Kujo smiled slightly, "The Kujo family is just the two of us, mother and daughter, relying on each other. As long as Miki inherits the Kujo family well, the rest is up to her. This is the only request from Qingye, what a pity."
The Kiyono mentioned by Mrs. Kujo is naturally Mrs. Kiyono.
"Even if Seino Rin hates liars and doesn't want to associate with them, will there be any problems in taking over the Seino family?" asked Toru Watanabe.
"That child only has contact with his mother for a day or two occasionally. What do you think?"
"As long as they are willing to take over, there will always be a way. Moreover, she can see through lies and is in a high position. The people below must answer her questions and cannot deceive her."
"It would be great if things were that simple." Mrs. Kujo sighed, "But I didn't expect that you could make both sisters fall in love with you at the same time."
"It's nothing special. I fell in love with them at the same time."
"Like the day I was rowing on the lake at the top of the mountain?" Mrs. Kujo was not surprised at all.
“Boating on the mountaintop lake?”
"Yes, I was in love at that time. I fell in love with the blue sky and the clear lake at the same time."
After saying that, she laughed happily as if her prank was successful, and curiously asked, "Meiji knows that you like her?"
"I know. They quarrel every day."
"That's so interesting, what's the quarrel?"
"Do you love me? Yes. Do you love her more, or me more? Love you, love you." These are words spoken in bed.
"Love me?" Mrs. Kujo asked mischievously.
"Love you, respect love."
"That's what I meant," Mrs. Kujo blinked innocently, "Could it be that Watanabe-kun has other feelings for me?"
"You're charming, if I didn't know Meiji."
"I'm not charming just because I know Meiji?"
"Do you find your mother attractive?"
"Of course." Mrs. Kujo nodded innocently and said in a girlish tone, "When my mother was alive, I thought she was the most beautiful person in the world."
"I also admit that you are the most beautiful woman in the world, mother."
"Haha, little liar."
Mrs. Kujo suddenly leaned close to Watanabe Toru's ear and whispered in her deep and joyful voice:
"I support everything Meiji does, so if you make her angry, Watanabe-kun, I will stand on her side. Do you understand what mom means?"
"I have always understood what you mean."
"No," Mrs. Kujo left Watanabe and said with a smile, "There are some things you will never understand."
"I know more than you think," said Toru Watanabe.
Mrs. Kujo glanced at his slightly smiling face and skipped the topic.
"But as long as you can satisfy Meiji, I will be satisfied with you. It will never happen that Meiji agrees with you having a lover but I object."
"You have just said that."
"I know." Mrs. Kujo blinked, "It's just that this matter is very important to me, and you do have a lover, so I said it twice."
"You know as much as I thought you did."
"Sure." Mrs. Kujo smiled proudly, "Meiji loves you so much, I dare not force her. If she follows Xiaolin's example and leaves home, I will cry."
The song changed and Toru Watanabe stopped and let go of Mrs. Kujo.
Before leaving the dance floor, Mrs. Kujo said one last thing:
"Watanabe-kun, do you understand my intention of dancing with you?"
"No matter what, Miki must inherit the Kujo family."
Back at the resting area, only Kujo Miki was there. Kiyono and her daughter were dancing - rather than dancing, judging by their expressions, it looked more like the mother was coaxing her daughter while having a secret conversation at the same time.
As soon as Mrs. Kujo arrived at the rest area, she took a glass of red wine and immediately lay down on the long sofa as if she was tired. She was not elegant, but sexy.
Toru Watanabe sat next to Miki Kujo.
"What did you two say?" she asked.
"Watanabe-kun said he loved me, but I said you are too young and it won't work." Mrs. Kujo said lightly while taking small sips of red wine.
Miki Kujo turned her head and looked at Toru Watanabe.
Watanabe Toru threw a blueberry into his mouth: "When I take the initiative to express my love, no woman has ever refused - as my girlfriend, you should have such confidence."
"Hey, wait." Mrs. Kujo stretched out her thin arms and pointed lazily at Toru Watanabe, "Don't include me in this."
"What did you say?" asked Miki Kujo.
"Can you believe your mother's words? She warned me that I must satisfy you, and everything else is fine. She was afraid that I would kidnap you and learn from the bad woman Kiyono Rin and not inherit the Kujo family."
"I was born to inherit the Kujo family. How could I give up my responsibilities for you?"
"My dear Meiji," Mrs. Kujo held her daughter's hand and said with a lazy smile, "Love transcends common sense and reason. It is madness, and a woman in love is even crazier."
"Even so, I can't think of anything that could happen between us that would make me give up the Kujo family." Kujo Miki stretched out her other hand, took the wine glass that was about to spill from her mother's hand, and placed it on the table.
"The more you like someone, the more selfish and willful you become. You forget about family affection, your own persistence and responsibilities, and only have yourself and the other person in your eyes. I've even seen people who like someone so much that they don't even care about the other person's thoughts. Do you think mom will be worried?"
"Don't worry." Toru Watanabe answered on behalf of Kujo Miki.
Miki Kujo glanced at him and tried to pull her hand back, but Mrs. Kujo wouldn't let go.
After a while, Qingye and her daughter came back.
"Is she drunk? Or is she dizzy from dancing?" Mrs. Kiyono teased as she watched Mrs. Kujo falling asleep on the sofa.
"I'm drunk, drunk." Mrs. Kujo chuckled and stretched out her hand to her, "Help me to the bedroom quickly. I want to sleep in your bed tonight."
Mrs. Kiyono reached out her hand and pulled her up.
"We two are going to bed first, you young people can chat slowly," she said.
"Let's take a shower together. It's been a while since we last did that."
"Will you rub my back?"
After the two wives left, the living room suddenly fell silent, with only the vinyl record under the needle, unaware that the party was over, still playing beautiful dance music.
Qingye Rin rubbed her temple, her pretty face looking a little tired.
"Why are you suddenly arguing?" asked Toru Watanabe.
"It's not sudden." Qing Ye Lin put down his hand and said calmly, "I have long anticipated the opposition and criticism from all around. No matter what happens, I am ready."
"Prepare?" Kujo Miki sneered, "Ever since you were little, you have never planned to compromise. There is no need to prepare at all."
"Oh, Kujo-san knows me so well, does that mean he likes me?" Kiyono Rin said with a smile.
"If you kneel down and lick my feet, it's not that I can't like you because you're so good."
Qing Ye Lin turned to look at Watanabe Toru: "What are you going to do?"
"Miji falls in love with you, what should I do then?" Toru Watanabe held the glass with a lotus leaf frog printed on it with his five fingers clasped upside down.
Qing Ye Lin glanced at Watanabe Toru with an extremely cold look, and then smiled helplessly:
"Forget it, there's still half a year left anyway. So, Meiji likes me, what are you going to do?"
Miki Kujo crossed her legs and looked at Rin Kiyono with a sarcastic smile, without interrupting the joking topic.
Watanabe Toru put down the cup, sat up straight, looked serious, came closer, and said in a low voice:
"Do you need me to teach you how to lick Meiji's legs?"
Qingye Rin seemed very surprised and stood there in a daze.
Miki Kujo laughed and swayed her legs as she crossed them.
