The back garden of Tianhai’s house.

Amami Madenori walked down the steps of the mansion, walked along the corridor through a path surrounded by bushes, and arrived at the back garden under the gray snowy sky.

Stepping onto the corridor and walking along the eaves, a landscape courtyard comes into view. There are many rocks piled up here, and powerful dwarf pines grow around it. Because it has been snowing continuously for the past half month, it is located between the gaps between the rocks.

The moss and grass ferns are inevitably covered in white.

Tianhai Maodian stared at the sky, watching the snow falling in the air disappear into the pond, and watching the individual snowflakes dissipate on the water. This scene couldn't help but evoke a corner of his memory, and all kinds of thoughts came to mind

"You seem to come here to stay for a while when you are in a bad mood." Amami Miwa said standing behind him.

"Habit developed since childhood."

"Is it because Jiuliuli and Qi Mingyue both like A Le?"

"Yes, but compared to this, I still care more about the reason why they fell in love with Ah Le."

"Ale is very good at taking care of people."

"Well, I still remember Jiuliuli told me that Ale was so busy that he fainted some time ago while helping the sisters make dinner. After hearing the news, I thought that it was only a matter of time before Jiuliuli fell in love with Ale.

things."

Amami Miwa could understand the complexity of his heart through his back view.

What Amami Madenori cares about is not whether they fall in love with the same person, but that he feels guilty about his difficulty as a father taking care of his two sisters since childhood.

He has failed in his duty as a father.

It wasn't until later that I understood everything, it was too late.

"That's why I said that I am not qualified to make choices for them. As a father, what I can do now is to let them be as undisturbed as possible and let them live a free life." Tianhai Maodian looked down at the water and looked at the water.

The reflection talks to itself.

Tianhai Meihe smiled from behind and said, "Children Qi Mingyue and Jiu Liuli must also understand this."

"Why do you say that?"

"Maodian, haven't you noticed that they will call you father or daddy, but Qiyue rarely calls Bertha mother."

".It sounds quite comfortable."

"They are concerned about Mao Dianqi's performance." Amami Miwa said with a smile.

Amami Madenori looked at the reflection in the water and smiled, then looked up at the sky.

He took a long breath and stared at the rising heat mist. Amami Madenori's mood seemed to relax a lot, "At least this proves that the old man and I still have some differences."

"Maodian, who do you think Ale's kid will choose?"

Tianhai Maodian pondered for a moment, "I think Ale will choose the kid from July."

"Why?" Tianhai Meihe was very surprised.

Amami Madenori replied: "At first, I thought it was Ruri's child who was most likely, but I thought about what I did when I was six years old in July. I don't think so. Miwa, you know, July recently started studying

Regarding financial knowledge, she would often ask me for advice via email. She learned quickly, and the pocket money the old man gave her was increased several times by her."

Tianhai Mihe just found out about this, "Isn't this a bit exaggerated?"

Tianhai Maodian shook his head: "She has access to much more information than ordinary people, and there are many more channels and methods. It is not surprising that she relies on the reputation of the Tianhai family. Who do you think she is doing this to prepare for?"<

/p>

"Ale?"

"That's Ah Le."

"Ale is the kind of person who can't bear the most debt from others." Tianhai Meihe murmured to himself.

"That's it." Tianhai Maodian sighed in his heart, "But no matter how much we discuss the choice, it is all about those children. In the end, it still depends on how they choose."

"That's all it can do."

"Buzzing."

The phone vibrated.

Amami Madenori took out the black mobile phone in his trouser pocket.

When he saw the caller's signature, he frowned.

"What's wrong?" Tianhai Meihe asked.

"It's the old man."

Tianhai Maodian responded and then answered the phone.

"Hello."

After answering the phone, Amami Madenori's expression first changed from calmness to frown, and then from frown to displeasure. During this period, he said something about "more than ten years".

Then, Tianhai Maodori seemed to accept it and fell into silence.

"Well, that's it, okay, I get it"

He hung up the phone, put the phone back in his trouser pocket, and his expression returned to calm.

Tianhai Meihe took a step forward and asked her husband: "Did something happen?"

Tianhai Maodian shook his head, and then said: "The old man asked me if there are any free rooms in my new home. If not, just rent another one next door to our house."

"What do you mean.?"

"Zhixue is going to school."

——————

Evening.

The guests invited to the birthday tea party have begun to enter the Tianhai family's mansion.

Compared to a birthday party, Sakakihara Raku feels it is more like a friendship party where the upper class socializes.

"This is the Governor of Tokyo, Satonaga Arakawa."

".Hello."

"This is the mayor, Yuriko Xiaoye."

"Hello."

"This is Chairman Ma of the Guandong Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

"Hello."

"This is the Metropolitan Police Department. Ah, just call me uncle."

"Hello, uncle."

Amami Nanami took me to meet strangers one after another. Although they only met each other briefly, Sakakibara Raku also tried his best to remember everyone's faces.

For example, the mayor of Tokyo I just met is a middle-aged woman in her 50s.

The governor of Tokyo is a young man in his twenties wearing a crisp suit and a pair of rimless glasses.

Compared to the mayor, Sakakibara believes that the energy behind the governor is immeasurable.

Sakakihara Raku greets you one by one.

Of course, in addition to these elders, there are also many young men who come to say hello.

Most of them are the children of the chairman or senior executives of some company.

Sakakibara originally thought that talking to them would be tiring, talking about a lot of commercial terms, but he didn't expect that they were just talking about which manufacturer's fishing rods are of good quality, and whether they can customize them when new models are released.

They also asked Raku Sakakibara if he wanted to go fishing together when he had time. If not, they could take him in and teach him personally.

I heard that they will also hire a chef to help process the ingredients on the yacht. As soon as you catch the fish, you can eat freshly sliced ​​fish immediately.

Grilled fish with cumin is also a no-brainer.

Sakakibara had a great time chatting with them.

While going to the bathroom on the way, Raku Sakakibara also noticed that there were several men surrounding Kuruuri and Qi Mingyue. Judging from the suits worth more than 100,000 yen, they must be young men from rich families.

Tianhai Jiuliuli can even say a few polite words to the other person, but Qi Mingyue is extremely cold. After coming and going, there is nothing to look for her again.

A Ling

A Ling is miserable. As the protagonist, she is dragged by Uncle Tianhai and her mother to meet various people who come to her birthday tea party.

Sakakihara Raku feels like her angelic persona outside is almost unbearable.

However, Sakakibara Raku himself was not much better. Some rich ladies dressed in pleasing clothes also came to greet him. Every time he said a few words to them, he felt like there was a pair of eyes staring at him from behind.<

/p>

"Brother is quite popular." Tianhai Qimingyue held the freshly fried potato chips in the snack area in her hand, and saw someone sitting on the empty seat on the sofa next to her with a plate of fruit.

"Stop sarcastic, it's just a courtesy." Raku Sakakibara put a plate of fruit on his lap, "By the way, why didn't you see Zhiyuki? Just now she asked me where there was fried ice cream. I guess she was.

Ling told her."
