Chapter 611: All the daughters-in-law are under the control of their son!
That night, it was not only Hojo Ichiro whose mind was unusually active. Even Hojo Mikiko, who had said she wanted to go to bed early to prepare for her grand appearance tomorrow and let everyone know that Hojo Kyosuke had a beautiful mother, started talking nonstop after her husband started talking.
Hojo Mikiko's excitement and Hojo Ichiro's worry actually stemmed from nervousness and helplessness.
Tomorrow, their son, who is still two years away from marriageable age, will stand on the highest stage in the national reasoning world and wear the magnificent crown.
Although their son has been sensible since childhood, the two never expected that in the blink of an eye, their son would have grown up to this point. The only thing left for him to start a family and establish a career is starting a family. And this "family" is about to be built, and it will be such a large family.
In a trance, everything seemed like a dream, making the couple feel that the world had become unreal.
Every day when Hojo Ichiro was happy and carefree, listening to his old friends praising his son, he couldn't help but feel doubtful in his heart - is such a great man really my son?
How could that guy, who flirts with other girls every day, have the time to achieve such great success in literature?
He could understand and expect his son to be good at picking up girls. After all, when he was still in Minato, this kid was already able to find a wife at such a young age. But in other aspects, this kid was too lazy to even do his homework when he was in elementary school. He could finish it easily, but he was just too lazy.
Hojo Ichiro's trance is understandable. After all, he and Hojo Kyosuke were rarely together and he returned to his hometown in Hokkaido early, but Hojo Mikiko.
In the mother's memory, one second ago, her son was the silly boy who tilted his head and asked innocently, "Mother, what if there's more than just Sakura?", but the next second, he ended up living in a mansion full of future daughters-in-law.
In the previous second, his son was excitedly running to the dojo to practice kendo so that he could return to his hometown to reunite with his wife. In the next second, his son founded a company, and even when he went out, he was followed by a group of subordinates and vehicles of all sizes.
Hojo Mikiko would carefully read every report that mentioned her son, and she would cut out and keep it as a treasure. She seemed to want to see the trajectory of her son's growth from those reports, and she also seemed to want to imprint her son's current situation and changes in her heart, updating it from time to time, for fear that she would not recognize her beloved son when she saw him again.
This is the love a mother has for her son. Even though they are thousands of miles apart, she can't help but worry about her son. That's why Hojo Mikiko was so happy after knowing what Kasumigaoka Utaha did.
She knew how imperfect the world was, and she was worried that the world would not love him as unconditionally as she did, would not take care of him as attentively as she did, and would not tell him that it was okay and everything would be fine as she did.
As a mother, she wanted to take Kyousuke home and shelter him in her arms. Just like she said a long time ago, if she couldn't bear to leave Sakura, she should invite the Yamauchi family to Hokkaido. She didn't care whether her son would become a useless person, she just wanted to see Kyousuke safe and happy every day.
However, as a mother, she cannot restrain her son's legs and feet, let alone clip his wings to fly. If Kyosuke wants to shout loudly in this ugly world, then as a mother, she is ready to applaud and cheer.
Living in Ruyi Lodge, Hojo Mikiko had no idea what her husband was thinking. She only knew that she was extremely happy with the company of Sakura, Nozomi, Eriri...
Looking at those energetic and youthful girls every day, and thinking that her son can start a new day in Tokyo every morning with the company of these girls, Hojo Mikiko feels genuinely happy.
Every day, listening to the little girls chattering to her about the stories between them and Kyosuke, looking at the shyness on their faces and listening to their complaints, Hojo Mikiko felt extremely satisfied. The missing memory of her son in her mind was slowly being filled in like a puzzle. The mother gradually understood what Kyosuke had been doing when she was away.
She knew why her husband came to pick her and her daughter up today. There were no fools in the Hojo family. After all, even the little girl Eriri was a genius in painting.
She was just worried about how to deal with the "in-laws" when they met at the award ceremony tomorrow. However, she knew it, but she didn't plan to comfort her husband. As I said, there are no fools in the Hojo family.
As Hojo Kyosuke's father, that is his responsibility. His beloved son is so great and has worked so hard to find so many wives. As a parent, he absolutely cannot hinder him.
Even if I teach my husband the solution this time, he will still have to face it later. I can't teach him every time, right?
What Kyosuke wants to do is difficult enough. If they, as parents, lose their temper first, their son's situation will definitely be even more difficult!
"...Yazhi had already brought Maki to Tokyo yesterday, and today he called me to invite me to dinner and to go to the venue together tomorrow. How could I dare to go? I could only make up an excuse to decline.
The last time we went to Mr. Spencer's house, the diplomat invited our family to visit England, saying that it was the birthplace of detective novels and Kyosuke would be popular there. Although Eriri's father didn't say it explicitly, I could tell that he meant to use the power of the Spencer family to help Kyosuke become famous.
And Mr. Miyamizu Toshiki, Mikiko, do you remember him? The last time I got drunk with him, that jerk Kyosuke actually arranged for Mr. Miyamizu and I to stay in the same room. The next morning when I got up and looked in the mirror, I saw a red mark on my neck. I touched it with my hand and it felt like a pinch mark..."
"Puchi--Hehehe~~Hubby, you are still so humorous. You deserve to be the king of cold jokes in the Faculty of Law of the University of Tokyo." Hojo Mikiko was amused and laughed out loud.
Hojo Ichiro was in no mood to laugh. He was terrified whenever he mentioned this incident. When they were drinking that day, Mr. Miyamizu looked at him as if he wanted to eat his flesh, but this didn't make sense at all. It was Kyosuke who took his daughter away, not him. I was also very angry. If the atmosphere wasn't right when they met, Hojo Ichiro wanted to vent his grievances to the old father opposite.
"…Don't laugh, I'm serious! Mikiko, you don't know how terrifying Mr. Miyamizu is. He actually asked the Special Household Disaster Countermeasures Section to purchase Kyosuke's new book. When I was having dinner with my friends a few days ago, someone told me that the reason Mr. Miyamizu used to persuade the General Affairs Department to purchase it was "You should take a good look at this book. This is no longer a serial murder case. It is a special social disaster. You should study it carefully and formulate relevant countermeasures." Listen to what he said, it's completely treating Kyosuke as a potential dangerous person. I suspect Mr. Miyamizu has installed a tracker on the sole of Kyosuke's shoe."
Hojo Ichiro said solemnly that the terrifying thing about this matter was that although Miyamizu Toshiki had such great ill will towards his son, he still tried his best to help him. Hojo Ichiro understood that this was because of Miss Mitsuha, but one could know how aggrieved Miyamizu Toshiki must be without having to guess.
There will be an award ceremony tomorrow. Putting aside other things, I was not drunk to death by Mr. Miyamizu last time, but I will definitely be dead this time.
"And there's more..."
Listening to her husband's endless worries, Hojo Mikiko felt very amused.
My husband is definitely very smart, but since his son is involved and this matter is really unbelievable, he was at a loss for what to do for a moment.
In fact, in the eyes of Hojo Mikiko, there was nothing to worry about at all. Her husband only saw that Sakura's parents were coming to attend the award ceremony, that Eriri's parents and even colleagues from the embassy were coming, and that Shiu's family not only came to attend but also became a sponsor. She saw... but she didn't see the most crucial point.
Yes, even though Sakura seemed to be indifferent, her parents were behind the scenes fanning the flames. Eriri was confused and looked like a little fool. The Spencers wanted to directly pull their son over to introduce him to all their relatives and friends, saying that this was their precious daughter's fiancé...
But! Even though things were turbulent and complicated later, didn’t you see that all the girls still stayed in Ruyi Lodge obediently?
None of them were missing, and they seemed to be completely unaware of their parents' actions. They all stayed in Ruyi Lodge as usual.
In recent days, there would often be an Infiniti sedan with a blue license plate with the word "Wai" parked at the door of Ruyiliao, and then a young lady wearing a red and white striped kimono and wooden clogs would walk into the house.
The first digit of the license plate is the Chinese character "外", and the first three digits are the country code, and the last two digits indicate the sequence used in the embassy of that country.
The foreign affairs vehicles that frequently come to Ruyi Liao are naturally from the British Embassy. The ones that come are not the No. 1 car but the ones at the end of the sequence, which are basically the private cars of the Spencer family. This kind of car is extremely convenient to use, and there is no need to worry about being stopped by the traffic police. Tetsuta Kisaki even thought about using Eriri's relationship to help the company get two "foreign" license plates, after all, his brother's company also has a copy of Miss Spencer, right?
The visitor was naturally Sayuri Sawamura, or Spencer Sayuri. Every time this lady came, she would bring a bunch of clothes, luxurious dresses, beautiful little skirts, and let Eriri try them on like she was playing with a doll. Of course, she would also invite other girls to try them on, and Sayuri prepared different sizes for each piece of clothing. Even if she was rejected every time, she would still invite them every time.
Mrs. Sayuri didn't say anything, but Shiyu was no ordinary person either. She had already customized her "battle dress" at a well-known fashion design studio in Tokyo a long time ago.
Hojo Mikiko takes care of her children at home every day, and watches the girls show off their talents with a smile on her face.
Wouldn't it be easier to prepare at home? Why are Shiyu and the others still staying in Ruyi Lodge, waiting for everyone to go to the venue tomorrow?
The thoughts behind this are complicated and difficult to guess, but just from the surface, one can easily read a key message, that is, the son's control over his "home".
If these girls really go home and actively prepare for war, then the real war will come. Now, everything is still under control.
So Hojo Mikiko was not worried at all, and even had time to call a car to accompany Nozomi to the station to pick up Miss Nishimiya and Yuzuru.
She was really relaxing. She had taken advantage of these few days to get familiar with Mrs. Sayuri. She also asked Kasumigaoka about what kind of person her mother was. She was excited to make some new friends tomorrow.
Although her heart was as open as a mirror, this wife, who was as playful as Sakura, had no intention of revealing anything to her husband. She just smiled quietly and listened to her husband's various "complaints".
When Hojo Ichiro was yawning, Hojo Mikiko smiled and said:
"Oh, I see. That's great. I was worried that you would be bored at the venue tomorrow. Now that you have so many people to accompany you, I feel relieved."
……
Hearing his wife's words, Hojo Ichiro, who was a little sleepy just now, immediately turned pale. That must not be boring, how can it be boring when you are in dire straits?
"No, Mikiko, I said..."
He made a bitter face and wanted to discuss it with his wife.
"Sorry, honey, I'm a little sleepy and want to sleep. Okay, I'll wake up Jia Shizi to chat with you!"
As Hojo Mikiko spoke, she stretched out her hand as if to hug her daughter.
The old father, whose second line of the attribute column was filled with "daughter slave", hurriedly stopped her and apologized repeatedly, saying that he shouldn't disturb his wife's sleep. He finally understood that his wife understood everything, but she just didn't want to talk to him at all.
"Go to sleep, go to sleep, have a good sleep."
Hojo Ichiro murmured and closed his eyes. Now he had a new understanding of his wife and son's catchphrase:
When you encounter problems, just sleep! When you close your eyes, everything will be over.
In the eyes of this father, just getting along with his "relatives" was difficult enough, but he could never have imagined how lively tomorrow's award ceremony would be.
Not to mention those who came simply to watch the ceremony, there was also a large group of people who had a grudge against Hojo Kyosuke and were planning to give him a hard blow at this critical moment. Among them was Motohiro Matsumoto, who had last been on a Fuji TV show with Hojo Kyosuke.
On the last show, the two veteran figures of the Mystery Association were so aggrieved that they had to shut up before they could say a word under the threat of force from Hojo Kyosuke. These old hands wanted to attack Hojo Kyosuke for his violent tendencies or disrespect for his predecessors, but Fuji TV was very unscrupulous. They were obviously allies with them, but they spoke for Hojo Kyosuke for the sake of the show effect, saying it was some kind of show effect.
There will be not only more media audiences at this award ceremony, but also more big names in the literary world. Most importantly, Hojo Kyosuke's parents will also be present. In such an occasion, that guy won't dare to draw his sword again, right?
When the time comes, they will let this kid see what "words are sharp weapons" means, and let him know that in Neon, seniority is everything.
Thanks to the big guys for their monthly tickets, recommendation tickets and reward support, thank you~
