Chapter 273: Calculations
The next morning at around ten o’clock, Rie Sakai called her mother, Aiko Sakai, and relayed Masayoshi Kishimoto’s words to her. She even urged her mother to hurry up and say yes before he reacted and changed his mind.
Sakai Aiko didn’t listen to her daughter’s words, and only hung up the phone after saying that she needed to have a serious discussion with her father.
Sakai Masao, who had been standing by the side, anxiously asked, “Was it Rie’s call? What did she tell you?”
“Justice is not only willing to help us clear all our debts, but will also give us another hundred million yen in cash for retirement. Only ……”
After all, Aiko Sakai was a person who had been through the stormy times for decades, but she wasn’t as simple-minded as her eldest daughter, she said.
“Only what? What time is it now? Do you still need to sell secrets?” Sakai Masao was also most aware of the family’s worrying financial situation and said.
“Justice wants us to take the oath to him.” Aiko Sakai said bluntly.
“What does Justice want with the oath book? Doesn’t he have a copy there? Is it hard to believe that the one we have and the one he has will be different?” Masao Sakai blurted out.
“That’s what I’m wondering. If you are Justice and you have a copy of the oath in your hand, I have the same copy in my hand.
If I give you the copy of the oath in my hand, then you have two copies of the exact same oath in your hand. What does that mean?” Aiko Sakai said thoughtfully.
“I would be able to completely disown the one account of the oath book.” Masao Sakai said as realization dawned on him.
“Yes, that’s right. After all, an empty promise is no proof. In the future, once Justice backtracks, but we can’t come up with strong evidence for a proof of the contents of the oath book that the two families once entered into, there’s nothing to constrain him.” Sakai Aiko slowly and methodically thought deeper.
“Justice can’t be a despicable man like that! I think he loves Riei.” Sakai Masao did not fail to feel that his wife’s analysis was reasonable, and for a moment it was difficult to accept the possibility of such a harsh reality, saying.
“If this is not his purpose, why would he willingly shell out such a large sum of money to us? This is neither a loan nor an investment, it’s all a gift. I can’t believe he has no purpose at all.” Sakai Aiko said seriously.
“A little over a hundred million dollars is just something that is not to be trifled with, something that is not to be trifled with. However, you have to realize that Justice is a successful investor. This money is not a thing to him at all.
Money and Rihui, he chose the latter.” Sakai Masao had always believed that there was both true affection between his daughter and Kishimoto Masayoshi, and that he was able to charm him to death. Therefore, there was no reason for the other party not to listen to her.
“The words are not yours to say. Although we can use the oath in our hands to exchange more than one hundred million yen from Masayoshi’s hands, thus solving this burning difficulty at the moment, the initiative in the future will be completely lost.
The matter of the marriage between the two families became not at all guaranteed. He solved the constraints with only a fraction, or even less than a fraction, of the money.” As a woman, Aiko Sakai always had a finer mind.
“It’s always true that Justice bought Rie a house in Nishimabu, Minato, and a supercar! You, as I see it, are just being too wishy-washy.”
Sakai Masao’s excitement was high, after all, he had gotten rid of his top troublesome matter. Not only that, there was also the unexpected pleasure of a hundred million yen in cash.
Although he worked inside a bank, he had never possessed this much money in his life. After he got the money, how would he spend it? Buy a nice car? Change the house he was living in now?
“The thing you said is true, but I asked Rie in private, and the ownership is not our Rie, but Justice.
In other words, Rie only has the right to use it.” The fact that Aiko Sakai wasn’t as judgmental as her own man lay in the fact that she was, after all, a woman who had run a folkloric inn for many years.
She believed that there was no such thing as love without a cause or hate without a cause in this world, so naturally there would be no such thing as money without a cause.
She paused here, and boldly hypothesized, “The worst possibility is that Justice, after taking the oath from us, which is worthless to others, will simply kick Rie and Meiling out together.
For us, it’s just over a hundred million yen. It was more of a compensation for us than a favor he gave us.
However, it would be too uneconomical for us. You’ve been in the bank for so many years. How come you can’t even do the math on this one?
From what I’ve heard, Masayoshi’s assets are not far from 10 billion dollars.
If Rie gets divorced after she marries him, even if she doesn’t get half of his five billion dollars, she’ll get two or three billion dollars! That’s hundreds of billions of yen.
Not long ago, Weekly Bunshun broke the story of his intimate photos with popular actress Kyoko Fukada. Although that’s gossip news not to be believed in its entirety, but nothing is as it seems.
That one man on the cover is justice, absolutely not false. On top of that, it was also said that there was a nose and eyes, and things were subtle. It’s a guarantee that he’s trying to stomp out our Rie, following that so he can marry Kyoko Fukada as his wife.”
Sakai Masao gradually calmed down a bit and said, “As long as we have that oath in our hands, even if Justice wants to kick out our Rie and marry Fukada Kyoko or someone else, it won’t be that easy. This might really be what you’re talking about.”
“Rie, a silly child, was even particularly happy, urging us to hurry up and finish it, lest Masayoshi react and disown us.
How could a man like Justice, who owns billions of dollars at an age of less than thirty, be a man who acts on impulse when his head is suddenly hot?” Sakai Aiko said in a serious manner.
“I’m sure that this one thing is not something that Masayoshi did on the spur of the moment, but has been planned for a long time. What he lacks is an opportunity to carry it out.
Now, taking advantage of our economic hardship, is why he used this one killer move to force us into submission.” Masao Sakai said seriously.
“We are the ones who almost fell for Justice. These two daughters of ours, the older one looks smart but has little heart. That’s a bit like you.
As for the younger one, she looks cheeky and innocent looking, but her heart and city are far better than her sister’s. This aspect is somewhat like me. There are times when I wonder.
Shouldn’t you have sent Rie to Justice in the first place? You should have sent Mei-Ling instead. It’s no use regretting what happened.
If we were able to make a switch of position between Meiling and Rie, it would be possible to not have to worry about anything from now on.” Aiko Sakai said slowly.
