Chapter 610: What should I do if my son is always on a date?
"Mijiko, now is not the time to joke around, something terrible is about to happen!"
Hojo Ichiro lowered his voice and shouted that his precious daughter was sleeping in the crib next to him, otherwise he would have to shout "on board" to let his wife know the seriousness of the matter.
"You don't even call me my dear wife. Do you not love me anymore?"
"Um???"
Poor Hojo Ichiro, during these days when he returned to Beijing, he was often praised by old friends and mentors for being wiser than before. However, when facing his wife, he was often unable to cope with a single word from her.
"No, how could I not love you? I'm talking about the award ceremony tomorrow. Mikiko, you know, by then, it will be more than just..."
"Look, you say you love me, but you don't even want to call me your wife." Hojo Mikiko pouted and said dissatisfiedly.
hiss……
Hojo Ichiro suddenly understood why his wife could get along so well with a group of future daughters-in-law. She was growing older. Before he could start to coax her, he heard the woman next to him complain:
"Yes, now that I have a daughter, I, as a mother, have become an insignificant, idle person. I can't cook, I'm not good at housework, and I have nothing to offer except my beauty, kindness, and love for my family..."
In the darkness, the man's eyes twitched wildly. At this moment, he was extremely grateful that he was in Tokyo instead of his hometown in Hokkaido. If his parents heard what his wife said, he would have to be driven to the pasture to sleep with the cows for at least a month.
"Oh my dear wife, you know, in my heart, children have always been unexpected gains. Only you, my dear wife, only you are my only love! Since we..."
Hojo Ichiro quickly put his arms around his wife and threw sweet words at her like crazy.
"Really? What about Prince Ka?" asked Hojo Mikiko.
"..."
The old father suddenly fell silent. He had evolved from a glorious wife slave to a daughter slave, and he really couldn't say anything against his will. The unexpected gain he just mentioned only included his son.
But then, a light bulb went off in his clever head. Is there a conflict between being a wife slave and being a daughter slave? ! There is no conflict! It is precisely because of the love for the wife that one loves their daughter as much as the wife!
"Even if it's a daughter!"
He suddenly raised his voice a little:
"Even if it's Kashiko, in my heart he has to be ranked below my dear wife. And I must emphasize that this ranking is given entirely for the sake of my wife. Look at Kyosuke, I don't care about that kid at all!"
"Hehehe~~"
In the darkness, Mikiko Hojo, who was already a mother of two children, let out a series of girlish laughs, clear and pleasant.
The little Prince Jia next to him trembled his eyelashes, but because it was his mother's voice, he didn't feel it was noisy at all and instead slept more soundly.
Mikiko was obviously very satisfied with her husband's sweet words, but she still asked mischievously:
"But isn't Kyosuke also my child? Why is it that only Kashiko can benefit from my influence?"
"Harmful--"
Hojo Ichiro sighed in a gloomy manner:
"Don't mention it. That kid didn't inherit any of the good qualities from us. He doesn't have your kindness, my wife, nor my devotion and deep love. But my daughter is different. Look at that little nose, it's exactly the same as yours, my wife, like an angel. Just by looking at you, I know what an excellent woman Jia Shizi will be in the future. From the day my daughter learned to crawl, I..."
In the dark room, Hojo Mikiko's clear laughter continued to ring out.
If Kato Megumi saw this scene, she would no longer be shocked by what she saw in the family restaurant before. The way Hojo Ichiro coaxed his wife and the way Hojo Kyosuke coaxed Eriri were simply taught by the same master. The father and son cannot be said to be exactly the same, but it can be said that the disciple is better than the master, but it is obvious that the disciple is better than the master.
After praising his wife for a long time, Hojo Ichiro finally brought the topic back to the topic:
"I'm angry just talking about this. Why isn't Kyosuke a daughter? Giving birth to a son is just to cause trouble for others."
"Um?!"
Hojo Mikiko's laughter suddenly disappeared.
Oh no, I got too carried away by myself.
Hojo Ichiro's heart skipped a beat. Everyone knew that his wife doted on her son the most. In order to give her son a happy childhood, she stayed in a foreign land to raise the child alone. Other families might say that a child is a piece of flesh that falls from the mother, but for his wife, Kyosuke is not only a piece of flesh, but also the flesh of the heart.
When Kyosuke was a child, he beat up another child. His wife cried out of pain and called him to ask him to call the lawyers and the police to block the door of the beaten child's house. Yes, that's right, it was his son who beat up another child, and Kyosuke was unharmed.
Under such circumstances, Hojo Mikiko felt so distressed and wronged that she wondered how anyone could have the heart to bully her precious son. In the end, the family opposite brought their child to apologize obediently. After all, Hojo Mikiko looked so delicate and heartbroken that no one could tell that she was actually a child-protecting demon who complained first.
The most important thing is that she is really sad and distressed. She is willing to compensate and apologize, but she is just angry and aggrieved.
Such parents may be annoying in other families, but if it is your own mother, you will be extremely happy.
Hojo Ichiro was not sure whether the relationship between mother and son was so deep because his wife raised Kyosuke alone, or whether it had always been so deep.
In short, let alone outsiders, even when he wanted to teach Kyosuke a lesson, he had to be careful to avoid his wife, otherwise he would be scolded for no reason, and the things that he should have instructed his son to do would fall on his head instead.
How strange and unfair the world is—
So someone quickly changed his words:
"Kyosuke has so many things going on right now. As parents, we should give him more consideration."
"Oh~~I see, husband, you finally act like a father."
Upon hearing this, Hojo Mikiko smiled happily.
"Hehe...you'll know tomorrow..."
Hojo Ichiro felt a little tired, but he could finally get down to business.
"I know, I know. I'm going to win a prize! The most powerful award in the Japanese mystery world, the youngest winner in history, the most promising writer in the current literary world to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, the most powerful high school student in all of Japan, and of course, the most handsome..."
When the baby was mentioned, the young and beautiful mother instantly became happy and talked endlessly. Hojo Ichiro was not surprised at all why his wife was so familiar with the flattery of her son in newspapers and media, because since Kyosuke first appeared in the media, his wife had collected all the reports about her son and made them into clippings.
Some were placed in notebooks, and some were pressed under the glass of the coffee table in the living room of my old home. In fact, it was not just my wife, but also my parents. Every day after dinner, when they watched TV together, the main entertainment was to talk about the recent situation of their beloved grandchildren, what newspapers Kyosuke was in, how much money he made, what awards he won, and even what girls he had offended...
Oh, the last piece of information was basically provided by Sakura... It's really unbelievable, what on earth was that kid thinking.
At this time, Ichiro Hojo absolutely did not dare to interrupt. Once at home, he saw the family discussing the boy so happily, even his daughter was dancing with joy beside him. He was so jealous that he directly asked to change the channel in anger. As a result, he was severely deprived of the right to watch TV that night.
How can this be fixed? Is there any fairness and justice in this world? He even just asked to change the channel, but it was considered as disturbing the family's longing for their son.
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of the beautiful girl he met at the last celebration party.
She should be called Yukinoshita Yukino, right? She is such an excellent and lovely girl.
As for why she is outstanding, it is certainly not because she is pretty. The other prospective daughters-in-law are all as good-looking as Miss Yukinoshita.
The real reason why Hojo Ichiro looked at Yukinoshita Yukino differently was that among all the girls present, only Miss Yukinoshita did not look at his son well.
This one point alone is enough to make the old father's favorability reach the maximum. I feel that if Miss Yukinoshita becomes Kyosuke's legal wife, the old father's status in the family should be able to rise a little in the future, right?
This is a father's humble wish.
Oh, oh...oh!
Damn it, damn it! It seems that Miss Yukinoshita's whole family is also on the invitation list for tomorrow's award ceremony...
Listening to his wife reciting the various nicknames that the media had given their son, Ichiro Hojo's eyes widened suddenly.
He had seen the list of attendees, which was provided to him by his son's subordinate, Tetsuta Kisaki. When he first received it, he was a little confused, wondering why the young man Kisaki reminded him to be more careful. After seeing the various thoughtful notes next to each person on the list, he suddenly realized.
It's really scary!
For example, the box next to Yukinoshita Yukino lists: class age, president of the "Service Club" club that Hojo Kyousuke participates in. Below that is the information of related personnel: her mother runs the Yukinoshita Construction Company, and her father is a member of the Shinagawa Ward Council in Tokyo.
Then another person "Yukinoshita Haruno" appears in another row, and the box next to him will list: school age, junior of Hojo Kyosuke's partner Okudera Miki, student of Hojo Kyosuke's Chinese teacher Hiratsuka Shizuka, friend of Hojo Kyosuke's classical Chinese teacher Yukino Momoka...
Then came someone else.
The information only simply stated the identity information of these people, and there was not a single word about the relationship between these people and Hojo Kyosuke himself. However, anyone who was not blind could see that each of these people who were qualified to have a separate row were women who had a relationship with Hojo Kyosuke.
This is where Tetsuta Kisaki's brilliance lies. He will never reveal a flaw in such a situation!
What if he was grabbed by the collar by the eldest brother's father and asked who was the legal wife? What if the information fell into the hands of the eldest sister-in-law? He knew nothing and said nothing. Everything was guessed by the eldest brother's father himself! Even the order of the information was particular. No more than one girl appeared on each A4 paper. The rest was filled with the eldest brother's serious friends, which further hinted.
Even Hojo Ichiro, who had made a great name for himself in the Tokyo legal community, had to admit that his son's subordinate was really powerful. If he became a lawyer, he would definitely be an expert in out-of-court settlements - he would never be caught doing despicable things.
The reason for this realization is not only because of this information, but also because of what he saw, heard and felt in Tokyo during this period.
He hadn't been to Tokyo for a long time, and although he had many old friends to entertain him, he still had some things that he couldn't ask others to do, such as booking a restaurant to entertain his university tutor, or other things. Then his son, his subordinate, would come to him at the right time, offering just the right amount of care and concern. He didn't make people feel abrupt or flattering at all, and was like a spring breeze.
As for the promotion of his son's new book, he may have been having fun during this period, but as a father, he was very concerned. After all, although he said that his son was an unexpected birth, in fact, when his son was born, he was so excited that his soul trembled.
The wave after wave of publicity for the new book, not only him, but even his friends who had not contacted him for a long time, and clients who had cooperated with the law firm in cases, took the initiative to call to inquire about the news. When they heard that it was really his son, they all gave him a lot of good words. Not to mention his two best friends, Uchiumi and Tamai, who co-founded the law firm, they said that his father had been shot dead on the coast, and he didn't even need to raise cows, and could just live a life of luxury.
In response, Hojo Ichiro could only smile bitterly and wave his hands, saying that it was nothing, that his son had paid for him and his wife to travel around the world last year.
In fact, he secretly asked his son if he needed help, but Kyosuke said, "Ah? Help? What help? I'm on a date with Mitsuha, I don't have time to call right now, hang up."
It is no wonder that Hojo Ichiro had such a nightmare - being asked to raise his parents by teacher Yukino Momoka.
In fact, almost every time he called his son, the boy was either on his way to a date with a girl or on a date with a girl. The only difference was the number of girls.
"Um, let's eat. I'm eating right now. I have to help Eriri and Kei with their homework later."
"You're drunk and you want me to pick you up? Um... I'm in Gunma Prefecture, going for a drive with Celty."
"Dad, your teacher wants to see me? I'm sorry, but I happen to invite Naoko and her colleagues to dinner today. It would be very embarrassing for Naoko if I leave now. How about this, next time, I'll treat Dad, your mentor."
"On a date, hung up."
"…The number you dialed is currently unanswered"
Hojo Ichiro wished he could hear his son say "I'm doing my homework", but unfortunately, that boy was completely in love, and studying was not on his to-do list. But what was annoying was that he had no chance to act like a father and ask his son to study hard, because that boy was the top student in the grade even if he skipped school every day to go on a date, and he could also help the girl who skipped class with him to make up lessons.
Even his university mentor expressed to him his wish for his son to do research with him in the future.
As a father, Hojo Ichiro was very sad.
