Chapter 460: Setting aside the controversy

At this time of the year, Masayoshi Kishimoto and Rie Sakai would stay together inside the small living room on the second floor whenever neither of them had a date, drinking and chatting to improve their feelings for each other.

“The Bon Festival is coming up, and I was planning to go back to my hometown, Shikoku Kochi Prefecture. What about you?” Sakai Rie habitually still held the red wine glass in the top of her right hand while gently doing a clockwise shake, and at the same time said in a purposeful manner.

In the absence of food, it was impossible for Masayoshi Kishimoto to drink his favorite Chinese baijiu, so he had to drink whiskey. He held the special whisky glass in his right hand and sipped on one of the Scottish single malt Glenlivet whiskies favored by a number of people.

Masayoshi Kishimoto had no feeling for the Japanese Bon Festival. It was not as if he himself was going to pay homage to an ancestor who was essentially not even remotely related to himself.

Besides, he wouldn’t know many people on the Kochi Prefecture side of Shikoku, after all, he had been taken away to Tokyo at a very young age by one of his own cheapskate dads.

“Not only am I going to Shenzhen, China on business, but I’m also going to Mumbai and New Delhi in India to check out the investment market there.”

Although Masayoshi Kishimoto had found an excuse not to go back to his hometown, he was not crowned. Everyone knew that there was nothing more important than the reality of work.

It wasn’t like the Japanese valued the Bon Festival, it didn’t mean that the Chinese and Indians valued it just as much. Even if they also have such a custom, there is some difference in meaning from the Japanese. The Chinese and Indians don’t view the Bon Festival as an important family gathering in the middle of the year.

“You haven’t gone back to your hometown to honor your ancestors for many years, so you’re definitely not going back again this year. I’ll go back alone then!” Rie Sakai said bluntly.

“First of all, I’m really split up. Secondly, my parents’ graves are in Tokyo, is there any need for me to go back? Once again, the old ancestors of the Kishimoto family, I just haven’t met them, and I have absolutely no memory of them.

Why do I have to go through that kind of nonsense? Then I’d really be going to hell. The main thing is that I don’t have family and friends in the old country like you do.

At the very least, you can go back home to visit your parents and little brother. At that time, you can pair up with Mei-Ling. By the way, you can also call Watanabe Saki along to go back home.

Finally, the old ancestors of the Kishimoto family can still be honored by you!” Masayoshi Kishimoto leaned his back against the sofa, crossed his legs, and said without haste.

“There are two things wrong with your words. One is that Mei Ling may not be willing to go back to her hometown with me, and the other is that in what capacity am I going to pay homage to your ancestors for you?” Rie Sakai said thoughtfully.

“Mei Ling is your own sister after all, and you know her character better than I do. As for what the little girl really thinks, I definitely have no idea.

You can use my fianc茅e’s identity. If you feel that the name is not correct, then you can use Kishimoto Rie’s identity.” Masayoshi Kishimoto calmly said.

“We haven’t officially been naturalized and married yet! It’s not customary for me to change my last name here. As if I’m in a hurry to marry you. By the way, speaking of this one thing above all else.

Kazuya Takahashi personally approached me about the prenuptial agreement, you know?” Sakai Rie made a leap of faith as she spoke and said.

“Knew. However, it really wasn’t me who authorized him to do that. He was completely standing up for the interests of the company, the shareholders, the employees, and so on. If you don’t want to sign it, you don’t have to. I have no intention of having to force you to sign.” Justice Kishimoto said seriously.

“If I don’t sign, won’t it make people suspect that I’m not after you alone, but your money? I can’t afford such a bad reputation.” Sakai Rie stopped the glass of red wine she was shaking in her hand and said.

“In that case, then you’ll sign.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said in a cloudy manner.

“Sign? Isn’t this a deal? Does it mean that if you pay for it, I have to sell it? Is the price reasonable, or have I earned it? Or did you earn it?” Sakai Rie threw out several questions in a row and said.

“Sign, you have an opinion. Don’t sign, you still have an opinion. Tell me, what do you really want?” Masayoshi Kishimoto tilted his head back and took a sip of the whiskey in his glass, saying.

“I don’t know.” Rie Sakai blurted out.

“Even you don’t know, so I’m even more at a loss as to what to do?” Masayoshi Kishimoto said helplessly.

Sakai Rie began to sip the red wine amongst the red wine glass in her own hand, caught in a dilemma. Signing, or not signing, both filled her with a strong rejection from the bottom of her heart.

In her opinion, the original barrier between herself and Masayoshi Kishimoto was blocked by this prenuptial agreement. She knew that the relationship between signing and not signing was actually not too big for her.

If she signed it, she would know clearly in advance that she would be able to get her hands on some of the property in the event of a divorce in the future.

Not signing it doesn’t necessarily mean that she will be able to get more property in the event of a future marital breakdown. Another thing that makes Japanese law odd is the ambiguity that comes from Japanese culture.

A Japanese man who goes to a custom store and spends money there, even if his wife catches him red-handed, cannot be considered cheating. The courts do not support this theory either.

For this reason, even if the wife insisted on divorce, but also can not share much property, after all, is not considered to be cheating in the first man. This shows what a patriarchal society Japan is.

In fact, in the eyes of Japanese women, their men to go to the custom store consumption, that is, to de-stress, to play with others, etc., is not considered a betrayal.

Even if their man is cheating, as long as she does not know, not caught, also does not count. Among them there are more tolerant Japanese women, is to allow their men to commit this one aspect of the error can not be more than three times.

The reason why Japanese women have become the ideal wives for men in many countries around the world comes from this. But then again, there are also many instances of daydreaming among Japanese women. If you can go out and fool around, then why can’t I go out and steal from someone?

Even in today’s diverse world, and with Tokyo being a cosmopolitan city with a high degree of cultural inclusiveness, Rie Sakai still clings to her one-life-one-person view of marriage.

She also knew that her view of marriage was confused with the remnants of feudalism in the minds of many people. She couldn’t tolerate her man having three affairs outside and showing love everywhere.

“Then let’s put the controversy aside for now!” Masayoshi Kishimoto did not like this current atmosphere of silence, and was about to make a break for the road.

“That’s all that can be done.” Even if Rie Sakai racked her brain, she really couldn’t think of a better solution. She expressed her agreement.
