Chapter 469: Family Meeting
In Aomori Prefecture, Japan, the Matsui family was staging an internal family meeting. Matsui Natsuki sat down and stroked his left arm a bit with his right palm, cutting through the fact that the entire atmosphere of the moment was not good.
It all started when she had repeatedly explained and emphasized that she and Miyazaki Ryui were just ordinary friends, not a couple as rumored by everyone. Because of this, the originally lighthearted and happy family meeting was one that became serious all of a sudden.
“You’re already a thirty year old woman. Do you still think you have a wide market? Falling in love and getting married are two different things.
The former plays with nothing more than a feeling. After the feeling is over, what’s left? Nothing. The latter is about stability.
Stability creates a home. A home that not only has people in it, but also has all of this.” Matsui’s mom after a silence, a serious right index finger is a scratch and pull said.
“That is. Those who have constant production have a constant heart those who don’t have constant production don’t have a constant heart. Miyazaki Ryui is so good! Not only is he successful in his career, but he’s also the president of a large hand enterprise.
You used to be good with him again. He must still be more or less in love with you.” Matsui’s father immediately sided with his wife.
“Sis, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you, the biggest turnaround in your life. If you don’t go, then I will.” Matsui’s younger sister used a provocative method and said.
“What the hell is wrong with each and every one of you? In the beginning, it was him who dumped me. You want to go, then you go.” Matsui Natsuki responded bluntly to her sister. She had long since gotten uncomfortable with the family staring at her with such a hot gaze.
It wasn’t that she didn’t realize that she wasn’t getting any younger. At that time in high school, she would not have the feeling of “old age” in her heart, and would only have unlimited youth to squander.
In her own heart, she was especially clear that she really didn’t have that sweet feeling in her heart that she had in high school towards Miyazaki Ryui.
“Older sister, can you be realistic? Miyazaki brother’s conditions here is too good to be true, a man thirty years old and a woman thirty years old is not a concept at all.
He’s also the president of a large hand enterprise, earning tens of millions of yen a year. He’s not ugly, if not handsome. His character, you know it too.”
Even if Matsui’s younger sister really wanted to go after Miyazaki Ryui backwards, she couldn’t. She wasn’t in the way of her own sister’s face, but she knew that the difficulty factor was too high. The success rate was minimal.
She wasn’t the type of woman who didn’t have self-awareness or overestimated herself. A rich man with a successful career like Miyazaki Ryui was not his turn. Besides, what kind of beautiful women were there in Tokyo?
Both her parents and herself agreed that the turning point lies in the innocent first love between Matsui Natsuki and Miyazaki Ryui during their high school years.
Whether it was a woman or a man, the hardest thing to forget was the first love, and the one who had the first love. When the two meet again, naturally, it will more or less awaken the beautiful memories of the past. It is hard to guarantee that the heart will not be moved to make up for the lack of love that was once not consummated.
“I see that you only see his social status and money. Other than that, hasn’t it all become irrelevant?” Matsui Natsuki said indignantly.
“Could it be that it’s not good for a man to be rich? Far from it, let’s talk about Brother Miyazaki’s two sisters. Who doesn’t know that one of them is a loiterer squatting at home, and the other is a three-day fish and two-day sunshine goods.
Even so, they’re both doing better than me, a guy who works almost every day. Why? It’s not just because they have a good brother.”
Matsui’s sister also works at a convenience store. She and Miyazaki Ryui’s eldest sister were still coworkers. The only difference lies in the fact that she is full-time, while the other is an hourly paid laborer.
She couldn’t just work today if she wanted to and quit tomorrow if she didn’t. As for hourly paid labor, this was not only unstable, but it also paid less.
One was paying a share of one’s living expenses even if one was also living at home. Even if she was living for nothing, she wasn’t eating for nothing. She was completely at the point of supporting herself.
“I won’t bother you to care about my matters. It’s better for you to care about your own personal problems! Don’t forget that you’re not too old either.” Matsui Natsuki tried to digress and said.
“I’ve been looking for it, but I just haven’t found it. Besides, it’s not like you don’t know that none of the jobs here in Aomori are easy to find, old sis.
Even if you find one, it won’t be good on top of the income. Other than having an income that won’t starve, one glance will be able to see old age.
Do you want children? What can I do to support my children? I don’t want to spend my married life arguing or fighting over money.
It’s better to live alone than to live day by day like that. Of course, it’s also possible to go to Tokyo and other places to make a go of it, like a lot of young people here.
As far as I know, apart from Miyazaki, there’s no one else who’s made a good living. When they go to work overseas, they don’t do it for themselves, but for their landlords.
Some of them didn’t make much money, but went back home in debt. Sister, you’re different.
Brother Miyazaki has such a good man in front of you, and you just don’t get positive and active.” Matsui’s younger sister didn’t have any embarrassment and spoke bluntly.
Matsui Natsuki did not fail to feel that this younger sister of hers was conversely more understanding than this older sister of hers. She suddenly became silent.
“I just can’t believe that you don’t have even a single star of affection for Brother Miyazaki in your heart. Your problem lies in being too thin-skinned and unable to wipe your face.
You always feel that it’s too lowly for you to take the initiative to go after Miyazaki Ryui again. In the beginning, even though he dumped you, he was the one who chased you first.
Now, Miyazaki brother can be said to have everything. For you to go chasing him backwards like that again, naturally, you are very worried that the neighbors will say unpleasant gossip.” Miyazaki’s younger sister knew all about her sister and Miyazaki Ryui’s part of the passing path.
Matsui Natsuki was spoken to her heart, and stood up with an open mind. She knew that if she continued to stay like this, she would only be “mobbed” by her family.
Even if they were doing it for their own good, it was not easy for her to accept in her heart for a while. She turned her back and walked towards the front door.
“Where are you going this late?” Matsui’s mom blurted out.
“I’m going for a walk alone to get some air.” Matsui Natsuki didn’t turn her head back and ran towards the foyer.
“Mom, just don’t stop your sister. You let her think about it alone and digest it. The opportunity is already in front of her.
If you desperately go for it, even if you fail, you won’t have any regrets. I’m afraid that if I miss the opportunity later, I’ll slowly regret it, but it won’t help.” Matsui’s sister showed the voice of experience of a person who had been there before and said.
