Chapter 298: After the Meal (Revised)
After the meal, Masayoshi Kishimoto and Rie Sakai were having a parting with Mrs. Honma. The two of them did not choose to return directly to their home in Nishimabu.
Roppongi at this time of the day was brightly lit, a lively and bustling nightlife scene. There were many young girls dressed up and standing alone, waiting to be hit on by men. Roppongi’s nightlife had begun.
“Wanna go to a bar?” Masayoshi Kishimoto said as he suggested an after-dinner entertainment.
“You’re the one who wants to go!” Rie Sakai blurted out as she walked towards the front at a slow pace alongside him.
“I don’t want to go.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said bluntly.
“Say it like you’ve never been. I see that you haven’t gone inside the bar to visit and pick up girls less often. I’m afraid that you haven’t even done a lot of body picking!” Sakai Rie said with slight agitation.
“Why do you, a person, keep grabbing onto things from my past? I’ve already been rehabilitated and reformed.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said tongue-in-cheek.
Sakai Rie habitually threw him a big blank stare, thus expressing her disbelief.
“Is this okay? We’ll just go see a movie. That’s always supposed to be the healthiest way to live an entertaining life.” Masayoshi Kishimoto proposed again.
Sakai Rie responded with a “yes” without hesitation. The two of them ran towards a nearby movie theater. At this point, Masayoshi Kishimoto was a bit confused as to whether they were in a relationship or if they had been married for years.
Soon after entering the movie theater, the two encountered Sakai Mirei with two of her friends. It didn’t take much asking to know that they had come to the movie theater to watch a movie, of course, and not to go to a bar.
“I can’t believe you guys didn’t go to a bar but came to the movie theater?” Justice Kishimoto laughed.
“We’re all good kids.” Sakai Mirei said as she showed a serious look.
“Now, are you still used to life?” Sakai Rie asked with concern.
Sakai Meiling replied nonchalantly, “I have to learn to get used to it even if I’m not. Who let me get kicked right out?”
“You alone have to learn how to grow. A flower inside a greenhouse can’t withstand a little bit of wind and rain outside. You’ll face society on your own one day, and your sister and I can’t possibly take care of you for the rest of our lives.” Kishimoto Justice made peace with the situation.
“Brother Justice, don’t fill me with all this crowning chicken soup for the soul. It’s better to leave it to my sister Rie!” Sakai Mirei snapped.
“I can completely understand if you have petty emotions. You can take out any grievances you have on me. Your sister has always been the one who cares about you.” Justice Kishimoto rounded off the conversation.
“Brother Justice, you’re the president of a large conglomerate company, and you’ve always been this caring to my sister, and you don’t see her appreciating you much?” Sakai Meiling deliberately pricked her words.
“Who said I didn’t appreciate his feelings? Is the affection between the two of us good or not, do we need to deliver a one-two-three to the outside with a tweeter?”
Sakai Rie was not satisfied with her looking like this in public. She took the initiative to extend her hands towards one of Masayoshi Kishimoto’s arms, and as soon as she did so, she tightened her grip on the road.
Sakai Meiling was speechless for a moment. Now, Masayoshi Kishimoto had already taken the oath in duplicate in his hands. If he denied it, there would be nothing left to restrain him.
There was no one more damaged than Rie Sakai. Right now, she could see her sister’s face and know that she was still favored in her happiness and sweetness.
After all, Sakai Mirei was too young to understand that the feelings between a man and a woman weren’t just love for each other, but had complexities.
The emotions between a man and a woman who are not mentally mature are just like playing house. “Break up” is said by them especially easy. Even if it is because of a small quarrel or anger, they will directly break up.
So far, the reason why Masayoshi Kishimoto was most attracted to Rie Sakai was that he had been living with her for many years and had already gotten used to her.
In his opinion, even if the teeth and the tongue fit together so well, there are still times when the tongue is bitten by the teeth. Not to mention people.
Even the most loving couple in the world will have dozens of times in their lives that they want to strangle each other to death in their hearts.
Couples that don’t argue, don’t fight, don’t respect each other, and are in love with each other are only found in poorly written novels that are completely fictionalized.
Rie Sakai is a woman who lived together before Masayoshi Kishimoto made his fortune. No matter how much she had changed, she would never have been worse than her former state of unbridled venom.
What Masayoshi Kishimoto needed now was a stable backyard. Sakai Rie has her own rightful fianc茅e status, which is why she also provides him with such a thing.
Otherwise, it would have been a scene of “the herd” in his own body. This is the last thing he wants to see. He thought that making them love each other and be like sisters was completely delusional.
Sakai Meiling and Sakai Rie, who were born from the same father and mother, couldn’t even love each other even if they had some conflict of interest, let alone with other women.
“Mei-Ling, the movie is starting, we’ll go first.” Standing next to the other two girls who were forced to be an audience for a time said in unison.
“Wait for me, I’ll go with you.” Sakai Meiling called out to her two friends and said.
After saying that, she turned her head and left. Sakai Rie looked at her sister’s back, which was so far away, and was really a bit angry, “It’s getting more and more unlike that. I just don’t believe that the forty million yen you have in your hands can last a lifetime.”
“After all, Meiling is still young, and the period of youthful rebellion hasn’t completely passed yet. In a few more years, when she grows up, she will also understand the good intentions of you, a person who is an older sister.” Justice Kishimoto comforted.
“It’s not all your fault. In the beginning, if it wasn’t for that one thing, it wouldn’t have indulged Meiling.” Sakai Rie said angrily.
Kishimoto Masayoshi immediately laughed bitterly and said, “Get it straight. In the beginning, I did it for your parents, not for Meiling.
Things developed step by step out of your control and mine, and it was only in the end that a solution emerged that was more satisfactory to everyone.
If we didn’t follow that solution, we still don’t know what would have happened. To tell a big truth, instead of worrying about Meiling, you should worry about your little brother Shota.”
Sakai Rie was reminded of this by him, and did not fail to also feel that it was reasonable. Shota was still in junior high school and had been spoiled by his mother since he was a child. He also had 40 million yen in his hands.
Sakai Rie suddenly sighed heavily, “Let them be! It’s out of my hands and I can’t control it. Once they have spent all their money, perhaps they will be able to listen to some of what I have to say at a later date.”
