The night fell like water, the busy day was over, and the wedding of Xiao Yiyun and Yoko Ito ended successfully. However, Xiao Yiyun drank too much. Although the alcohol content was not high, he could not bear to drink too much. After the wedding banquet, he returned to
Xiao Yiyun from the Ito family fell into a deep sleep and still hasn't woken up until now.
Yoko Ito waited on Xiao Yiyun at the bedside very carefully. Most of the guests' toasts were blocked by Xiao Yiyun. Yoko Ito did not drink too much.
Ito Masaki was sitting in his study at this time. He also drank a lot of wine, but he was not drunk. After he came back, he started making Kung Fu tea to sober up. By this time, he had already completely sobered up.
Looking back on the whole process of the wedding banquet, I actually started recalling it when he announced that Xiao Yiyun and Yoko Ito would leave Japan, because there was nothing worthy of attention in front of it. From the time he announced the news, everyone in the Ito family had begun to go their separate ways.
I feel like Xiao Jiujiu in my heart.
Although they didn't say anything and the expressions on their faces didn't change, their silence was very revealing. In the face of this kind of news, silence means that they have ideas, and there will be no second possibility.
Hide Ito and Watanabe, these two names inadvertently appeared in Masaki Ito's mind. Since Masaki Ito announced the news, the first one to jump out to the rescue, or to eliminate the dull atmosphere, was Hide Ito. As for Watanabe
Watanabe, after seeing Ito Hide jumping out, this guy immediately went over to find Ito Hide. Although Watanabe had also greeted other members of the Ito family, Ito Hide was the first person he greeted, and also
The one we talked about the longest.
The wedding banquet was full of guests and friends. In fact, Ito Masaki was a little overwhelmed. He only noticed that the two talked for a long time, but he had no way of knowing what they talked about.
Ito Masaki had long expected that Watanabe would do something after learning the news. However, the first moment he heard the news at the wedding banquet, he immediately ran to talk to Ito Hide. This guy
Are you too impatient?
Thinking of this, a disdainful smile appeared on Masaki Ito's lips, because he could conclude that Watanabe was acting for himself. Such poor acting skills and plot lines were really unbelievable.
As for the traitor, Ito Masaki must investigate, but this matter must be investigated accurately, and he must not be confused by Watanabe's little actions. In other words, although Ito Hide is suspected,
, Ito Masaki will not confirm that he is the traitor.
The suspicion of Ito Hide is definitely there. In any case, at the wedding banquet, the news told by Masaki Ito, the head of the family, made the atmosphere in the banquet hall solemn and depressing. This matter still needs to be concluded by Masaki Ito.
, Moreover, Masaki Ito has already thought of a way to resolve this depressing atmosphere, but it is just that it has not reached the level he expected. The atmosphere is not depressing enough yet, and it has not yet been resolved.
And at this moment, Ito Hide jumped out. Although his purpose of doing this was to relieve the depressive atmosphere in the banquet hall, before that, he did not even cast a questioning look at Ito Masaki. It was completely
He jumped out on his own initiative.
Strictly speaking, this kind of behavior is actually a bit beyond his authority and overstepping his authority. In this case, the purpose of his jumping out is worth pondering!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Ito Masaki retracted his thoughts and whispered: "Come in."
The door of the study room was pushed open, Okamoto walked in, then closed the door of the study room, walked to and sat down opposite Masaki Ito.
"You have seen everything about today's wedding. Do you have any thoughts?" Ito Masaki asked calmly.
As someone close to Ito Masaki, Okamoto naturally accompanied Ito Masaki throughout the entire wedding. Moreover, he was also responsible for the security work at the wedding site. From the entire wedding to the wedding banquet, he witnessed everything that happened.
Before the wedding, Ito Masaki never told Okamoto that there might be a traitor in the family. Now I ask this question just to see how Okamoto views this matter without knowing that there is a traitor in the family.
thing.
"The wedding went very smoothly." Okamoto said this first, and then said: "It was during the wedding banquet that Hide Ito went a little too far. In my opinion, he was a little offside."
"Oh?" Ito Masaki smiled noncommittally and said, "Tell me your opinion in detail."
Okamoto nodded and said: "I was at the door at that time and had a panoramic view of everything. When Ito Hide stood up and said those words, he never had any communication with you. If he was consulting you,
After he agreed, he stood up and said those words to resolve the depressing atmosphere in the banquet hall. There was nothing much to say.
However, he stood up and said these words without consulting you. In my opinion, he has challenged your dignity."
"Haha." Ito Masaki nodded with a smile and said, "You are right to say that, but no matter what, he also wants the wedding banquet to go smoothly, so there is no need to make a fuss."
Hearing what Ito Masaki said, Okamoto nodded silently and said nothing, but a look of disapproval flashed across his face.
"What? Do you think what I said is wrong?" Ito Masaki saw Okamoto's fleeting expression and asked with a smile.
Okamoto glanced at Ito Masaki, then lowered his head and whispered: "I don't know whether I should say these words."
"Say." Ito Masaki said immediately: "You have been by my side for so many years. Is there anything you can't say?"
"In any case, my surname is not Ito. Strictly speaking, I am an outsider." Okamoto said truthfully: "Some words involve other members of the Ito family. I am afraid that I will go too far and make the master unhappy.
.”
"It's just you and me here. If you have anything to say, just say it." Ito Masaki knocked on the table and said, "No matter what you say here, no third person will know."
"Yes." Okamoto then said: "If in normal times, his offside behavior, sir, you can just pretend it didn't happen, and don't make a fuss like you said. However, his offside behavior, sir, was
After you said that Miss was leaving Japan with Xiao Yiyun, this made people have to make a fuss out of a molehill."
After a pause, Okamoto continued: "Everyone in the family knows what it means for Miss and Xiao Yiyun to leave Japan. At this juncture, Ito Hideo did this. I think we must severely punish him and we must kill the chicken to scare the monkeys."
Show the role to other family members.
Even if the next head of the family is not in my lineage, I am still the head of the Ito family, and my dignity cannot be challenged by others."
Ito Masaki smiled, but did not speak. Instead, he stood up, walked to the door of the study, opened the study door, and quietly looked at the Ito family in the night.
Okamoto immediately stood up, walked to Ito Masa's gym, and stood silently behind Ito Masa's gym.
After a long time, Ito Masaki said calmly: "My father is the previous head of the Ito family. I have grown up in this family since I was a child. I will not allow anyone to want to start from this family when I am still the master of this family."
The family kicked me out. Even if I have to leave sooner or later, it will have to wait until I abdicate and the next head of the family takes over my position!"
This antique traditional Japanese-style building where Masaki Ito lives is the residence of the successive Ito family owners. Although this residence is now under the name of Masaki Ito, it does not actually belong to Masaki Ito, but to the family owner. In other words
, whoever is the head of the household is qualified to live here.
If the next head of the family is not from Masaki Ito's branch, but changes to another branch, after Masaki Ito abdicates, he will need to hand over the house and let the next head of the family take over and move in.
Of course, as the residence of the head of the family, the layout and decoration of this house cannot be easily changed. Which branch is the head of the family will not be influenced by their personality and preferences. The decoration style here will always be antique.
It is completely different from the modern decoration style, and is regarded as the family rules and traditions of the Ito family.
After hearing what Ito Masaki said, Okamoto immediately asked: "Master, what do you need me to do?"
"Over the years, others have always thought that you are a dog beside me." Ito Masaki did not answer Okamoto's words, but asked: "What do you think of this statement?"
"I don't have any ideas." Okamoto smiled and said, "If others have their mouths, what they want to say is not something I can control."
Ito Masaki nodded with satisfaction and said: "They were wrong. You are not a dog, but a snake, a poisonous snake that has been dormant for many years. Now, it's time to show your fangs. Use the power in your hands.
, check Ito Hide carefully for me, I suspect that it was him who burned down the Ito house."
Okamoto was shocked when he heard what Masaki Ito said. He had always had a secret power in his hand, which was outside the Ito family. It was the power that Masaki Ito asked him to cultivate. For Masaki Ito, this power
It was the last trump card, and he didn't expect to use it at this time. This was one of the reasons why Okamoto was shocked.
The second reason that shocked Okamoto was that Masaki Ito said that Hide Ito might be a traitor!
However, Okamoto wisely chose to keep silent. After the shock, Okamoto narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Yes, I will investigate carefully."
"Remember, no matter what results are found, report to me first." Ito Masaki said: "If the results are different, the treatment of Ito Hide will be different."
"I understand." Okamoto nodded, and after seeing Masaki Ito wave his hand, he quickly disappeared into the night...
