In the end, Yoko Ito failed to go out. However, Yoko Ito asked Itoka to bring a verbal message to Xiao Yiyun, telling Xiao Yiyun to be patient.
There was only this sentence. Although Xiao Yiyun nodded to express his understanding and agreement, he really didn't understand what it meant.
What exactly does Yoko Ito have to endure?
However, Xiao Yiyun seemed to have figured out the meaning of this sentence the next morning, because Itoka came and wanted to take Xiao Yiyun to meet Itoka's father, Masaki Ito.
"Is it Yoko's father who wants to see me?" Xiao Yiyun asked with a smile after hearing Itoka's intention.
Itoka nodded.
Xiao Yiyun said with a smile: "No wonder Yoko asked you to send me a message last night, asking me to be patient. It turns out that she is going to see her father. Don't worry, she is going to see her father-in-law after all. No matter what unpleasant words he says, I will endure it.
." Although there was a smile on his face, Xiao Yiyun was still a little uneasy because he didn't know what it would be like when he met Ito Masaki.
Itoka sighed silently in her heart. She knew very well that it was not as simple as Xiao Yiyun said when Yoko Ito asked her to send a message to Xiao Yiyun.
However, Itoka couldn't guess what Yoko Ito wanted Xiao Yiyun to endure. Without knowing what Xiao Yiyun would face, Itoka decided to remain silent. Maybe the lady sent the message because the master wanted to see Xiao Yiyun today.
He would say some unpleasant words and ask Xiao Yiyun to endure it.
Itoka dutifully drove Xiao Yiyun to Ito's house, and led Xiao Yiyun to the living room where guests were received at Ito's house.
"Is Yoko inside?" Xiao Yiyun asked in a low voice.
Itoka also replied in a low voice: "No, I am alone inside." After saying this, Itoka walked up the wooden steps, took off her shoes, walked onto the wooden corridor, and knocked the bell.
He opened the door and said: "Master, Xiao Yiyun is here."
"Let him in." Ito Masaki's voice sounded from inside.
After seeing Itoka's look, Xiao Yiyun also walked up, took off his shoes at the last step and walked to the door.
Itoka opened the door for Xiao Yiyun and made a gesture to invite him in. After Xiao Yiyun walked in, Itoka closed the door and stood outside.
At this moment, Okamoto came over and stood on the other side of the door without saying a word.
After Xiao Yiyun walked in, he discovered that the room was very large, and the furniture was all antique, with Japanese characteristics everywhere. In the middle, a man was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a small coffee table in front of him, drinking tea leisurely.
Naturally, this man could not be anyone else, but Masaki Ito.
It was the first time for Xiao Yiyun to see Ito Masaki, and he couldn't help but look at him carefully. His square face showed a sense of majesty, but Ito Yoko was not very similar to him. Thinking about it, Ito Yoko should be more like his mother.
.However, between Masaki Ito’s brows, you can vaguely see the shadow of Yoko Ito. This is also the most similar thing between father and daughter.
Ito Masaki was sitting there without moving at this time, and was also looking at Xiao Yiyun. In his opinion, Xiao Yiyun looked pretty good, but he was just a little bit immature, which is understandable. A person's momentum is not
It is formed naturally, but forged the day after tomorrow. Xiao Yiyun has only started on this path not long ago. I believe that as he develops in the future, his momentum will be slowly forged.
"Please sit down." Masaki Ito stretched out his hand and motioned for Xiao Yiyun to sit down opposite him.
Xiao Yiyun walked to the opposite side of Ito Masaki and sat down cross-legged in the same manner.
"You and I don't need to introduce our identities to each other." Masaki Ito went straight to the point without any nonsense: "You and Yoko have caused such a big trouble, so you have to solve this trouble."
Xiao Yiyun nodded and said: "I came to Japan just to solve this trouble. However, Yoko's identity is very special, and I don't know what to do."
Ito Masaki nodded. Xiao Yiyun's meaning was very clear, that is, he and Ito Yoko's father and daughter were both members of the Yamaguchi-gumi, and Watanabe was also a member of the Yamaguchi-gumi. The marriage of the two families, the matter
It's such a big situation, it's very troublesome to solve it.
"I'm very happy that you can think of this." Ito Masaki didn't hide anything and praised Xiao Yiyun without hesitation, saying: "Now that the matter has been announced, the engagement between the Ito family and the Watanabe family must be terminated.
Yes. And you are the key to breaking off the engagement."
"Am I the key?" Xiao Yiyun was a little confused. How could he become the key to the termination of the engagement between Yoko Ito and Watanabe?
What role can an outsider play in dissolving an engagement? Shouldn't the man or the woman in the engagement take the initiative to terminate the engagement?
"That's right." Ito Masaki said seriously: "You and Yoko caused the matter, and I have nothing to hide. This time, your behavior directly caused Itobe to be humiliated. In other words, Itobe did not
Proposing a reason to terminate the engagement. If I, or Itobe, proposes to terminate the engagement for such a reason.
Then, Itobe will be a disgrace to the Yamaguchi-gumi and will have no place in the Yamaguchi-gumi. The Watanabe family has the right to terminate the engagement, and also has the right to ask Itobe to make compensation."
Hearing Ito Masaki's explanation, Xiao Yiyun smiled silently and said: "I understand, you mean that you have thought of a way to solve this trouble without damaging Ito's reputation, but
, the key to this solution lies in me, or do you want me to solve this trouble?"
"Your understanding is correct." Ito Masaki nodded and said: "Watanabe came to me after he came back that night and told me about you and Yoko. I delayed Watanabe, but it was nothing.
It can only be postponed for a while, this matter must be solved, fundamentally solved."
"Please tell me." Xiao Yiyun said seriously: "If there is such a way to get the best of both worlds, I have no reason not to agree. You are right. I was the one who caused the matter."
Hearing Xiao Yiyun's words, Ito Masaki recognized Xiao Yiyun in his heart. Although he was young, he was very responsible. Ito Masaki's recognition of Xiao Yiyun did not come from Xiao Yiyun's promise to him, but from Xiao Yiyun's support.
All the responsibilities were placed on himself, and he only said that he was the one who caused it, ignoring Yoko Ito.
No matter what, Ito Masaki is a father. The young man in front of him can consider his daughter, which will make the father Ito Masaki feel a little recognition for him.
"The method is actually very simple, you go and challenge." Ito Masaki said solemnly: "Challenge Watanabe!"
Xiao Yiyun was a little stunned when he heard Ito Masaki's method and asked himself to challenge Watanabe. What kind of method is this? Could it be that the custom of bride snatching still exists here?
"Before that, if you want to appear in the Ito family openly, you must first challenge Itobe." Ito Masaki continued: "Of course, this will not be a difficult task. I will arrange everything so that you can easily pass the test and do my best.
Go and challenge Watanabe."
"Will Watanabe accept my challenge?" Xiao Yiyun frowned, feeling that Ito Masaki was a little whimsical. This is Japan, the territory of the Yamaguchi-gumi, and the territory of the Watanabe family, so he just came to visit like this.
Challenge, I guess you won’t even be able to see Watanabe’s face, right?
"He will accept it." Ito Masaki said with a smile. This was the first time he smiled after meeting Xiao Yiyun. However, Ito Masaki's smile was full of conspiracy.
Seeing Masaki Ito's smile, Xiao Yiyun understood in his heart that Masaki Ito had planned everything, and he would implement this method only when he agreed. He should have a way to force Watanabe to agree to him.
challenge.
"What if I lose?" Xiao Yiyun asked again.
"Don't worry." Ito Masaki said confidently: "Even if you lose, the engagement between Yoko and Watanabe will be terminated."
"Okay, I agree." Xiao Yiyun said in a deep voice.
Hearing Xiao Yiyun say this, Ito Masaki nodded with satisfaction and said: "You should make preparations and formally visit Ito's house tomorrow! Remember, what we talked about today cannot be told to anyone, including
Yoko.”
"I understand." After Xiao Yiyun said this, he stood up. At this point, Ito Masaki probably had nothing to say. If he stayed, he would only make people feel dull, so he might as well leave as soon as possible.
Sure enough, when he saw Xiao Yiyun standing up, Masaki Ito stood up without saying anything and saw Xiao Yiyun to the door.
After Xiao Yiyun went out, Ito Masaki closed the door.
"How was the talk?" Itoka asked in a low voice as she followed Xiao Yiyun.
"Not bad." Xiao Yiyun said with a relaxed smile, not pretending at all: "Tell Yoko not to worry, this trouble will be solved quickly, and it will be solved according to her expectations, without causing any harm.
The reputation of Itobe can also allow her to terminate her engagement with Watanabe."
Hearing what Xiao Yiyun said, Itoka subconsciously stopped, with a look of disbelief on her face. She didn't know what Xiao Yiyun and Ito Masaki had talked about, but Xiao Yiyun said these words and asked herself to convey it to the lady.
There is a solution to this trouble.
But what is the solution?
"Don't ask any more questions." Xiao Yiyun said with a smile: "It won't work if I say it. Anyway, it's a good solution. Come on, show me around. You can't come to Japan in vain, right?"
"I will convey your words to the lady first, and then I will take you around." Itoka said.
"No rush, it's okay to tell her later." Xiao Yiyun said with a smile.
