Chapter 755: Going with the Flow

The next morning, Masayoshi Kishimoto asked Rie Sakai to handpick two gifts for himself to take with him before traveling alone to Kazuya Takahashi’s parents’ house, the Takahashi family’s ancestral home, in a red Ferrari.

He and Takayuki Minamino had been coming to play from time to time since they were young, so they were in the category of being familiar with each other. Without taking any little detours, he went straight to his destination.

Masayoshi Kishimoto parked his car directly into the Takahashi family’s front yard. For this reason, Takahashi’s mother even took the initiative to come out to greet him.

Behind her, there was a housekeeper who was even older than her. Because she was originally from a famous family, the housekeeper was originally a maid who had been serving her since she was a child in the Suzuki family.

When she married into the Takahashi family, she naturally brought her personal maid along with her to the Takahashi family, and then rose to the position of housekeeper for decades.

The housekeeper had no intention of retiring to her old age, even when she reached sixty. She has a very good income, decent work, and live together with the young lady for decades, that a relationship is not ordinary.

Because of this reason, his children even if only the most ordinary university graduates, but also able to enter the back door into the Suzuki automobile inside the work, respectively became a formal member of the community. As for her husband, he was originally an ordinary employee of Suzuki Motor.

It was only after his wife’s favor that he was repeatedly promoted from the position of a mediocre ordinary member to become the head of a department. The reason why he had been taken in by the personal maid of this famous young lady was because of her honesty.

“Auntie, long time no see.” After Masayoshi Kishimoto got out of the car, he took the initiative to bow forty-five degrees toward the other party with the courtesy of a junior.

“Long time no see.” Takahashi’s mother returned the bow with a smile on her face.

“There are some things in the car that I still need to bother your housekeeper with.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said with a smile.

“Come as you are, no need to be so polite. You, and Takayuki, haven’t come to our house much since your student days.” Takahashi’s mother of course knew that he had a successful career, and that even her own son was still working as one of the executives in his company.

“I used to be uninformed, but I’ve grown up now. You can’t lose on etiquette, it’s still important.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said with an unchanged smile.

“Come inside!” Takahashi’s mother took the initiative to invite him in and sit down.

Masayoshi Kishimoto followed her inside and sat on top of the living room couch of the Takahashi family. He didn’t feel the slightest bit constrained at all.

After the housekeeper took the gifts he had brought down from the car, she hurriedly arranged for a maid to put up fruits, pastries, and coffee.

As for whether to drink or not, it was not important. There was nothing more important than not being able to be rude. Not to mention that she had known Masayoshi Kishimoto for a long time and had watched him grow up.

Nowadays, he has already grown up to be one of the plutocrats in Japan. When it came to financial power, strength, social status, etc., he was much higher than the Takahashi family.

“Auntie, this time I came to your house specially, but I came prepared and took it upon myself to act as a lobbyist for someone.” Masayoshi Kishimoto came up and got right to the point.

It wasn’t that Takahashi’s mother didn’t have a number in her mind. If the other party was looking for her son, she naturally knew where to look, and there was no need to come here.

If he was looking for her husband, he wouldn’t have needed to make that phone call in advance. This already indicated that he was running towards himself. As for what for, it was nothing more than the matter of his son and Mizuhara Yuki.

“Then I’m all ears to hear what you, a lobbyist, have to say.” Takahashi’s mom smiled.

“To be honest, I really didn’t come here for Mizuhara Yuki, it’s all about you and Kazuya. In terms of friendship and affection, naturally, it’s deeper between us.

In terms of practical benefits, Mizuhara Yuki is nothing more than the daughter of a raggedy family. Since she is the daughter of a poor family, why do you have to be so familiar with her?

The tighter you push Kazuya and her, the more it will backfire. They will instead feel the greater the love between the two.

We young people know best about young people. Not to mention you were young too. This couple in the middle of a passionate love affair is not afraid of anything, and they’re capable of anything.

What if, and I’m just making a hypothetical assumption, if they committed the act of martyrdom, not only would you lose your only son, but I would also lose my best brother and friend, as well as my best legal department head, a company executive who is completely trustworthy.

Even if nothing so terrible had happened and you had insisted on tearing them apart, it would have created a grudge against you in Kazuya’s mind to a greater or lesser extent.” Masayoshi Kishimoto moved to reason.

After Takahashi’s mother heard him say that, she felt in her heart that there was a real possibility that something like that could happen.

She smiled slightly and said, “Then what should I do?”

“Let nature take its course. As time goes by, their enthusiasm and freshness will gradually fade. You are a person who has been there before, would you still not understand? By then, you won’t have to do anything and the two will break up.

That way, you won’t leave any trace of blame in Kazuya’s mind. There will also be no gap between your mother and son’s hearts because of this one little thing.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said seriously.

“Masayoshi, I just realized today that this mouth of yours is so powerful. I was indeed moved by some of what you said.” Takahashi’s mom said bluntly.

“It’s not that I’m so powerful with this mouth, but in that I’m telling the big truth. Besides, it’s not like you’re not aware that Kazuya had quite a few girlfriends before he met Mizuhara Yuki.

In terms of appearance, body shape and so on, there are many who are better than Mizuhara Yuki. In the end, what happened? They all broke up with Kazuya one by one.

At that time, you did not do anything, did not interfere. Mizuhara Yukiya was destined to be just a passing guest in Kazuya’s life.” Masayoshi Kishimoto launched a powerful persuasive attack saying.

Takahashi’s mother immediately had a sense of realization. She felt that she had not done something to add to the list of things she had done, but had made it seem as if she was afraid of something.

Mizuhara Yuki should also be like some of her son’s past girlfriends who were around to go their separate ways. If I had to say that she was different, it was probably because I had taken the marriage contract between the Takahashi family and the Mizuhara family too seriously.

The Mizuhara family was bankrupt. Her family was a family of lawyers, so if it came down to a court case, what was there to fear?

One of the worst outcomes of this would be nothing more than losing some money, which was not at all as large as the amount of the cash check that he had privately given to Mizuhara Yuki.
