Chapter 438
Zhu Yuyan now basically greeted Yamamoto and Mr. Little Yamamoto every day, visiting them in person every two days.
Mr. Little Yamamoto’s physical recovery was not going well, and seemed to have been in a rather dangerous stage.
The doctor recommended that Mr. Koyamoto be allowed to return to Japan as soon as possible, and Yamamoto seemed to have his heart set on it.
Zhu Yuyan came to the door again with a bouquet of flowers, which are so plentiful in July and August, and cheap and good.
Probably because she had always had a good relationship with the Japanese school, and had found many jobs for the Japanese students in that class, until now there were Japanese students who visited her regularly, and every time they sent some of their handmade so-and-so cakes – wrapped in leaves, or a few sprigs of wildflowers.
This time they sent her a sprig of flowers cut from a row of cherry trees planted at the university that had survived.
The flowers were innocent, but she didn’t want to see anything so Japanese-flavored at home, so she took a cloth and wrapped it up, and gave it to Yamamoto and Koyamoto as a gift.
Little Yamamoto seemed pleased.
She didn’t stay long,the purpose was not to see Koyamoto in the first place, and after finishing her nonsense she asked Miss Kim to see her out.
She couldn’t tell how big Miss Kim’s belly was now, because she wore her kimono to this day with an obi belt so wide that it was impossible to tell the size of her belly.
–She suspected that Miss Kim was also deliberately tightening her obi to get rid of the baby.
Now that there were fewer Japanese maids, it was easier for her to talk to Jin Juli, but she still didn’t dare to say too much in order to avoid ears through the walls.
She could only ask her softly when the two of them went all the way out, “Take care of your body, take care of your health, I look forward to you being healthy all the time.”
She just kept repeating these few sentences of nonsense.
Because she understood her feelings, she also understood her desperate situation. This made it impossible for her to simply advise her not to abort the child in a brutal way.
Even to persuade her on the basis of health, it seems untenable.
She wanted to spend more time with her,so the two of them walked slowly.
It was like moving outside one step at a time.
But when they got outside they were stopped back because Yamamoto wanted to see her.
He seemed to have just gone out and only just returned.
There was no other way, Zhu Yuyan had to turn around and go back to see Yamamoto again.
Yamamoto’s health wasn’t too good either, and this father and son pair were now both as thin as a skeleton, making people worry about whether they could catch their breath without any problems.
– -It would be great if they couldn’t catch their breath.
Zhu Yuyan politely praises little Yamamoto for recovering well, looking more energetic today than he did two days ago.
Ms. Jin whispers from the side that Zhu Yuyan sent a branch of cherry blossoms, and that Little Yamamoto is very happy to see it, he must be homesick.
Zhu Yuyan: “?”
She feels that this is meant to be, although she doesn’t understand what Jin Juli means, she surely can’t refute her, so she sighs along with her, “When a person is sick, they must miss their hometown the most, no matter how heroic they are they can’t give up the flavors of their hometown.”
Yamamoto: “Ms. Zhu, I have already arranged for a ship’s support to send my son back to Japan. Would you and Mr. Su like to accompany us?”
Zhu Yuyan was caught off guard!
–Because in the plans of the two, there was actually no such thing as actually going to Japan.
All they had been thinking about was to use that to coax Yamamoto, and by the way, coax the country**.
If possible, they could take advantage of this to break the situation, to break the double oppression that Guo** and Japan were putting on them; a tragic event like Zhao Shuli’s couldn’t happen again, and neither he nor she could afford to lose the other.
The most ideal state would be for Su Chunjun to once again gain the solicitation and trust of Guo**, transferring him away from this city and rising even higher in the ranks.
The least ideal state was that they both might have to fake their deaths to get out.
But this was all better and more maneuverable than the current stalemate.
The only thing I didn’t expect was for a little Yamamoto to jump out.
This little Yamamoto even KO’d himself.
And then Yamamoto, who obviously held Little Yamamoto in very high regard, wanted to send his son back to Japan as fast as possible for protection.
But bringing her back to Japan with Su Chunjun is just artsy-fartsy.
Was this another test?
If they turned on Little Yamamoto, would they be caught red-handed?
Zhu Yuyan’s acting skills were a bit out of whack at this point, and she didn’t answer for half a day as she desperately tried to figure out how to answer.
Yamamoto really pressed her, “What? Are you couple regretting it?”
Zhu Yuyan sighed deeply, “Leaving the countryside is not a quick thing after all. But our couple has no place to stay here either. Alas. It’s useless to regret what has happened. Mr. Yamamoto, what day are you leaving? I’m going home to pack up my things.”
Yamamoto, however, shook his head, “I can’t tell you the time and place now. In all honesty, I still haven’t completely trusted you couple until now. You guys are too cunning.”
Zhu Yuyan smiled, “That’s not surprising. Rather, it’s better to say that our couple was surprised that Mr. Yamamoto could actually be willing to help. This matter is unbelievable to say the least, we are people from different countries and are being hostile, yet we as a couple are seeking help from our enemy.”
“However, a good bird chooses a tree.” Zhu Yuyan said, “Mr. Yamamoto might have heard of this old Chinese saying.”
Yamamoto nodded, “Yes, I have heard it.”
Zhu Yuyan, “A wise man will look for a better path to follow. Our couple recognizes that we are not stupid, and if the Gu** had not been sending assassins to assassinate our couple, we would not have left.”
Yamamoto’s suspicions were once again dispelled.
However, he immediately brought up a condition that Zhu Yuyan had some difficulty accepting.
Yamamoto: “Then, in that case, Ms. Zhu, please stay here for the time being until it’s time to sail.”
Zhu Yuyan immediately said, “Wait! What about my husband?”
Yamamoto: “If he loves you and his feelings for you are true, then he will naturally come to you.”
Zhu Yuyan: “We still have many valuable things! We’re going to take our luggage with us!”
Yamamoto: “That’s all easy. You can write a letter to your husband, Mr. Su, right now, and ask him to take your luggage, get in the car, and come here.”
–So urgent?
–Is it a trap?
–Or has the ship been found, and will sail at once?
–Will the ship sail in twenty-four hours?
But when Yamamoto started to leave her behind by force, she could not resist.
Zhu Yuyan quickly judged that this was not the time for her to be forceful, and immediately changed her words, “Well, since Mr. Yamamoto has said so, I can only obey. I hope you won’t let our couple’s trust in you down.”
She opened her own handbag and pulled out her own fountain pen, the same mark that Mr. Su had given her.
Unscrewing the cap of the pen, she wrote on her notepad, “It’s urgent, Darling, come and get me, and remember to bring my little suitcase.”
She tore this one out, folded it, and handed it to Yamamoto.
Yamamoto opened it, smiled, called his adjutant, and handed over the note: “You will deliver the letter personally to Mr. Su, and will not return until Mr. Su writes back.”
The adjutant left.
It was only after Yamamoto finished this matter that he was truly relieved.
He did not trust Zhu Yuyan-at least he could not trust her one hundred percent.
But he did feel that Zhu Yuyan and Su Chunjun, this couple, were full of distrust and antipathy towards the Gu** because they were too smart for their own good.
Then whether they were comm** or not, it wasn’t particularly important.
Even if they were, they were already in his grasp, was there anything to be afraid of.
These days, he had been looking for enemies, from Japan, from within.
And he was eager to regain power.
Granted, he had already had to cede the seat of power because of his illness.
But that didn’t mean he had to cede everything!
His son, his power, his family …… The Yamamoto surname was bound to become one of the surnames that could influence Japan!
Yamamoto stared at Zhu Yuyan, he hoped that these two Chinese, could bring him some surprises. How much of a role they could gain in Japan was all up to them.
When the couple ascended to high positions, that was when the Yamamoto family would ask for their reward.
Yamamoto felt much more tired after he let go of his heart, and he said to Jinjuri, “Guizi, take Ms. Zhu to take a rest.”
Jinjuri had been like a doll since a while ago, as if even her breath had disappeared from this room.
She sniffed and crouched down in agreement, then stood up, walked to the door, sat on her knees and opened the door before asking Zhu Yuyan to go out.
After she knelt and closed the door behind her, she then stood up and asked Zhu Yuyan to go with her.
Jin Juli’s room, of course, was the room where Little Yamamoto was lying now.
But with the paper door in the center, it can be turned into two rooms.
Jin Juli made tea and accompanied Zhu Yuyan to chat.
Zhu Yuyan is not in the mood to chat, she is more worried about Mr. Su who received her note.
–She was more worried about Mr. Su who received her note.
Now she was like a princess on a high tower, waiting for a prince to save her.
–Big deal, the two of them really got on the boat, and then they could figure out what to do.
It was also possible that some torture and interrogation would follow here in Yamamoto.
Zhu Yuyan was going back and forth in her mind.
She was really a bit anxious now.
For a moment, she thought that Su Chunjun would come in through the gate peacefully, and Yamamoto would not interrogate them, but would quickly send them to the ship to Japan.
This is the most ideal state.
The undesirable situation is that Su Chunjun will come in peacefully, and then Yamamoto will lock up the couple and interrogate them separately.
This is worse, it is difficult to predict what will happen later.
The other possibility is that Su Chunjun breaks in with a security team with guns**, and when that happens, there’s a big fire*, and it’s hard to predict whether they’ll live or die.
She speculated and speculated and thought until her head was in knots.
Already, she began to consider grabbing Xiao Shanben to threaten Yamamoto.
At this time, she just noticed that Jin Juli was doing a painting for her, the painting is the garden pool and swimming fish, writing style painting, spiritual very much.
Zhu Yuyan had been lost in thought just now, and it was necessary for her to go up and compliment her at this time.
Then she realized that when Jin Juli was painting the fish, the painting pattern on the fish seemed to have some content.
But after she drew it she quickly used the ink to wipe it up and it was all blacked out.
Zhu Yuyan smiled and said, “It’s so pretty, teach me. This is something I don’t know how to do.”
She grabbed the brush in Jin Juli’s hand and said, “You hold my hand.”
Jin Juli then went behind her and held her hand to draw.
Not English.
When the brush came together, Zhu Yuyan could recognize it.
It wasn’t Japanese either.
“Wood.”
“Small.”
“Female.”
……
–File.
Zhu Yuyan smiled and said, “Actually, I have also learned, I can draw grasshoppers.”
She also drew two grasshoppers, and added a few stones and a branch of weeping willow, the mood was sufficient.
She smiled and said to Jinjuri, “This is our first painting together. I hope we’ll have another chance to paint together in the future.”
