Chapter 48: The Girl Still Longs for Family Affection
"Izumi-sama, try this."
Izumi Jiyue turned sideways, holding the taiko in one hand to hold the freshly peeled shrimp meat, and put the other hand underneath, close to Izumi Tetsu's lips.
Izumi Toru had already told her not to serve like this, but the girl looked at him as if she was about to cry, which made it difficult for him to refuse.
He opened his mouth and ate the shrimp meat that the girl picked up. After receiving a satisfied smile from her, Izumi chewed it twice and swallowed it. Then he looked at Rumi Uehara who was hiding his identity with sunglasses and a peaked cap.
"Uehara."
"Um?"
"Are you satisfied with your current life?"
Rumi Uehara's eyes hidden under her sunglasses suddenly lit up.
If you are not satisfied, can you go further?
The fire in the girl's heart quickly ignited.
Suppressing her excitement, she said in a sweet voice:
"I'm already very satisfied."
"Um."
"Izumi-sama, please use it," Izumi Himetsu said, replacing it with fish meat that had been trimmed of bones.
Izumi Toru turned his face sideways and glanced at the lovely girl Xiao Qiaoqiong's moist lips under her nose, and his heart moved.
"I'll eat half of it, you eat first."
"Eh?"
"Don't want to?"
"No, no," Izumi Jiyue shook her head hurriedly.
Then, she whispered: "Well, then I want to eat."
"Um."
So, the girl bit the fish meat, stood up and approached Izumi Toru's lips.
Izumi Toru's original intention was not for her to do this, but since she did it, he accepted it naturally.
The girl's skill at picking fish bones was very good. The fish itself was not damaged much and was still full of elasticity, tender and smooth.
Maybe the ingredients used are very good.
Izumi Toru thought this while tasting the supreme delicacy.
After a while, the ingredients finally disappeared.
Izumi Jiyue pursed her small lips, and her slightly red face was cute and attractive.
Izumi Toru ordered her to eat something first and looked at Rumi Uehara again.
"Mei likes to listen to your songs very much, so your career will be smooth sailing."
Rumi Uehara's heart started beating wildly.
She didn't speak, but started to thank Izumi Tetsu with practical actions.
Watching the girl disappear from the opposite side and crawl under the table, Izumi Toru hit her on the forehead.
"It's time to eat now."
"I just drank some water."
"I'm not......"
Rumi Uehara did not finish listening to Izumi Toru's words and started to thank him.
"Lord Izumi, open your mouth."
Izumi Himetsu served new dishes at the right time, which left Izumi Tooru no time to refuse Rumi Uehara.
Of course, he didn't want to refuse originally.
Being served by two girls, he thought to himself: Such a luxurious life can really lead to depravity.
Fortunately, I have a strong will, and I can still handle it no matter how violent it is.
"Hiss~"
Perhaps the food was too hot, so Izumi Toru couldn't help but take a breath of air-conditioning.
Izumi Himetsu offered him drinks and kisses to choose from.
He chose to have them all...
There was a lot of dessert after the meal today, and Rumi Uehara’s cheeks bulged after eating it.
She had to cover her mouth with a tissue to avoid wasting it.
After swallowing all the dessert in small sips, the girl smiled charmingly at Izumi Tetsu.
Then, she picked up the drink, raised it, and drank it all in one gulp.
With his guarantee, the future will really make people tremble with anticipation.
After finishing the meal, Izumi Toru walked out of the restaurant in high spirits.
After saying goodbye to Uehara Rumi, he stopped Izumi Himetsu who wanted to go back with her.
"Actually, I came to see you today for other reasons."
Being able to do something for Izumi Toru and prove the value of his existence is what Izumi Jiyue is looking forward to the most.
"What do Izumi-sama want from me?!"
"Go somewhere with me."
"Um!"
The girl didn't ask where she was going. In short, it was her greatest honor to be with Izumi Tetsu.
However, when she saw her destination in the distance, she suddenly became nervous.
The memory of her home, so distant that only the silhouette of Mohu Lake was left, was now completely displayed in front of her, dragging her thoughts towards the past.
[Xiaoyue, run slower, mom can’t keep up.]
[Xiaoyue, look, this is your new schoolbag.]
[Xiaoyue, today’s dish contains meat, are you happy? 】
【小月.】
【小月......】
"Xiaoyue..."
The sounds of memory and reality were mixed together, and Izumi Jiyue couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality.
Her mother, whose legs were obviously unable to stand, was currently holding the door with one hand and holding an umbrella with the other, looking at her.
At this moment, the middle-aged woman's vicissitudes of life showed guilt, joy and nostalgia.
"Mom~" he shouted subconsciously, and then Izumi Jiyue remembered that her mother no longer wanted her.
So, she hid behind Izumi Toru, grabbed his sleeve and asked: "Izumi-sama, do you have anything to do with this woman?"
It's not "Mom", but "this woman", which makes the woman feel upset.
It's also good that if we cut off the relationship, we won't be dragged down by this family.
Xiaoyue, you can live a better life.
Look how cute she looks now.
That's enough.
The woman looked at Izumi Toru and asked, "Excuse me, are you here today?"
"I want Ji Yue to take her brother away."
The woman's expression suddenly changed.
"no!"
Izumi Tetsu squinted his eyes and stared at her legs.
"You think carefully before answering. If you can stand up, you can put your husband in a wheelchair. If you want to push the wheelchair, go to Ji Yue with your husband who can no longer work, and beg her to take care of you in a low voice.
Brother, I can wait until that time."
Izumi Toru's words would be colder than today's ice and snow.
The woman's brain buzzed.
She held on to the doorframe with both hands to avoid falling.
"you you you......."
After trembling for a while, she still couldn't say anything complete.
Izumi Toru seemed a little impatient. He frowned and asked, "Shouldn't you agree with your son to get the best education and live the best life? Why refuse?"
The woman couldn't tell.
Perhaps, what Izumi Toru said is right.
This family cannot give their son the best things.
But, but...
"Lord Izumi~" Izumi Jiyue couldn't help shouting his name.
Izumi Toru turned his face sideways and his expression softened.
"What's wrong?"
"That... brother, it should be best if his parents are with him... A child who lacks father's and mother's love, I, I think, is not good...
..."
This was the first time she opposed Izumi Tetsu's opinion.
She was uneasy and even prepared to be scolded by Izumi Toru, but Izumi Toru rubbed her hair.
"You also need father's and mother's love, but they don't give it to you.
Why can they be happy as a family even though they hurt you?
It seems like nothing has happened, like you are not my daughter...
Don’t worry, I will repay them double the suffering you have suffered..."
After listening to Izumi Toru's words, the woman lowered her head, her expression becoming more and more guilty, while Izumi Jiyue hugged Izumi Toru tightly.
"I don't want them, it's enough for me to have Mr. Izumi. I haven't suffered, I'm very happy now..."
"Then tell me, do you want to see your brother? Do you want to hold him and play with him? Do you want to hear him call you sister?"
Izumi Toru's words made Izumi Jiyue's eyes blur for a while.
She seemed to hear her younger brother staggering towards her, opening his hands and shouting in a sweet voice: "Sister, give me a hug."
】
Just imagining that scene brought a happy smile to the girl's face.
Izumi Toru rubbed her face and then looked at her mother.
"Every month, Ji Yue will take her brother out to play for a few days. You can follow, but only you. Do you understand?"
After being threatened like Izumi Toru, how could a woman dare to say no?
Compared to being taken away and never seeing his son again, this request is simply tolerant to the extreme.
So, she nodded.
"Yes, I understand."
"Let's go and see your brother. He's little and very cute."
"Yes!" Izumi Jiyue nodded heavily.
Having achieved today's goal, Izumi Toru rubbed the girl's head and led her into the courtyard.
As long as they spend enough time together, she will naturally find that her mother has always loved her deeply.
