Chapter 278: Splitting the Money

Sakai Aiko had seriously considered her second daughter, Sakai Meiling’s proposal to split the money equally. She did not fail to feel that it was a really good idea.

This way, she would be able to share several tens of millions of yen under her own name. She could use this money to revitalize her ancestral folklore inn.

She didn’t believe that she would fail again with her many years of experience in the business. After all, the last time was due to a major change in the Asian financial turmoil, not her inability.

She had always believed that when the economy picked up, more people would visit Kochi. When that happens, the business of her folk inn will also improve.

Aiko Sakai couldn’t let go of her family’s inn, but she was also motivated to prove to people that she was right. She said with determination, “I agree to split the money equally.”

“Aiko, are you confused too?” Sakai Masao did not expect his wife to be like this all of a sudden and was surprised, saying.

“I’m not confused. I feel like I am more level-headed than at any other time. Even if there is no such thing as today, sooner or later the family will be separated.

Early to split the family late to split the family are to be split, might as well be completely split now. Each one of you take your share of the money and do what you need to do.” Aiko Sakai said seriously.

After Sakai Masao pondered for a few moments, he really had a realization that was like an enlightenment, and made a decisive decision, “You’re also right.

Let’s split up! Let’s split up! If you still want to live together, you can live together again. If you don’t want to live together again, then live your own lives.”

Sakai Rie would never have thought that things had gotten to the current irreversible point. She realized that even if she objected, it would be ineffective.

Right now, four out of the five members of the Sakai family were in favor of splitting the money, and she was the only one who didn’t want to do that.

Sakai Aiko got up and took the oath book above the crystal coffee table in her hand, walked to her eldest daughter’s body and handed it over to her, “Take it to Justice!

We agree to exchange it for 200 million yen. From now on, the Sakai family and the Kishimoto family will no longer have any more involvement.”

Rie Sakai held the oath in her hand and looked at her father again kindly. The reply she got from him herself was the same as mom’s saying, “That’s it! You go upstairs and give it to Justice.”

“Hurry up and go, sis!” Sakai Shouta couldn’t wait to get his share of the money said.

Sakai Meiling was still relatively satisfied with this current result. After she got her hands on the tens of millions of yen first.

Sakai Rie had no choice but to do the same. With a heavy heart, she walked slowly towards the upper floors. She knew that this family was finished.

As soon as Sakai Rie pushed open the door to the study on the second floor, she cried unabashedly in front of Kishimoto Masayoshi, after all, her heart was just too hard to bear.

He stood up with a confused face, and before he had the chance to ask the other party what was wrong, he saw that she had jumped directly towards him. Sakai Rie took the initiative to embrace him with both hands, crying like a pear.

Masayoshi Kishimoto extended his arms to embrace her as well and said, “Don’t cry. What exactly happened?”

Sakai Rie cried for a while before she intermittently told him what had happened. Nowadays, she felt like a person without a home. As for her only spiritual and emotional support, that left Kishimoto Masayoshi alone.

Kishimoto Masayoshi figured out the cause and effect, and comforted her by saying, “Money is the knife that kills without blood. People die for money, birds die for food. Don’t be too upset.”

“Why don’t you go downstairs and persuade them! They’ll listen to what you have to say.” Rie Sakai loosened her arms around him, still trying to perform a rescue dao.

“How can I, an outsider, get involved in your Sakai family’s family matters? Besides, if I go and try to persuade them, I’ll make them think that I’m going to change my mind.” Masayoshi Kishimoto understood that things had come to this point, and it became pointless to do anything more Dao.

“I’ll leave the rest to you! It’s really hard for me to face my family anymore. Since Meiling and Shouta are disputing the equal division of the money, then consider giving Shouta my share.

Let them have an equal share according to the four of them. I don’t want anything. If you don’t want me to continue living here in the future, then I’ll move out tomorrow.” Rie Sakai said as she burst into tears.

“You can live here for as long as you want. Even if it’s for the rest of your life, there’s no problem whatsoever. My home is also your home.” Masayoshi Kishimoto was completely not lying to her.

He had originally only wanted to take back the oath in the Sakai family’s hands that was able to restrain him, but he had absolutely no thoughts of breaking up the Sakai family.

The reason why the Sakai family had turned into what it was now was because no one in the Sakai family other than Rie Sakai had been able to withstand the test of money.

Sakai Shota, a junior high school student, was faced with tens of millions of yen all of a sudden, it would be strange if he didn’t develop greed in his heart. Besides, he was a boy who had been spoiled by his mother and had become selfish and egotistical.

Sakai Meiling was originally a gold-digging girl. Even though she was a bit older than Sakai Shota, she was only a senior in high school. How could she not be moved when faced with tens of millions of yen? How could her eyes not glow with gold?

Sakai Aiko is the king of the weight, determined to continue to go to her ancestral folk inn. As for Masao Sakai, the shock of losing his job and the weight of his debt had left him drained, and all he wanted was to get out of his current miserable life as soon as possible.

Rie Sakai’s performance pleased Masayoshi Kishimoto the most. When she was faced with money and affection, she chose the latter without hesitation. In her opinion, affection was more important than money, and money could not buy affection between family members.

For this reason, Masayoshi Kishimoto really couldn’t find any reason not to become family with such a woman. Even if she had obvious flaws, they were still flaws.

“Have a seat here in the study for a moment, and let me finish up the rest of the business! If you want to go back upstairs to the bedroom to rest, I’ll carry you up.”

Kishimoto Masayoshi saw that Sakai Rie, who was frustrated to the extreme, was revealing a very gentle side of herself, whispering softly.

“Just let me stay here alone!” Sakai Rie said breathlessly.

Kishimoto Masayoshi responded with a “yes”, and then helped Sakai Rie, who was so sad that she couldn’t even stand up, to sit on top of the chair.

Afterward, he walked straight toward the door. After he went out, he did not forget to close the door of the study gently.

As far as he was concerned, the rest of the matter was not only to pay the money and send a message, but also to have Sakai Meiling move out of his place as soon as possible, so that Sakai Rie wouldn’t be saddened by the sight of her own younger sister and would not be able to add to her heart.
