This silence made the words of thanks seem even more unreasonable. Iwahashi Shinichi thought about it for a moment and replied: "I haven't done anything that requires thanks."
Regarding Nakamori Akio's debt problem, Iwahashi Shinichi's idea is to never take action to repay Nakamori Akio's debt. Unless the matter can be resolved once and for all. Otherwise, if Nakamori Akina does not sit idly by this time, then there will be another
Next time, the blood-sucking bug lying on her body would use another method of sucking blood.
At this point, Iwahashi Shinichi understands that Nakamori Akina is not a fool who has no master.
As for Chieko, the conversation with her just now made Iwahashi Shinichi convinced in her heart that she was aware of everything.
What Iwahashi Shinichi was thinking about was Nakamori Akio's debt problem. However, when Nakamori Akina spoke again, she said something else, "Mom had a great time chatting with you."
The two of them didn't expect to go together.
Iwahashi Shinichi was stunned for a moment by this somewhat jumpy topic. After coming back to his senses, he replied: "I like chatting with Chieko-san. As you said to me, 'When I hear Chieko-san speak, my mood will also change.
Get better'."
Nakamori Akina lowered her head and smiled softly, "Did I say that?"
Iwahashi Shinichi gave an affirmative answer, "I heard you tell me about Chieko-san countless times."
"In my heart, my mother is an all-powerful super mother." Akina Nakamori picked her fingers lightly, feeling uncomfortable in her heart.
After learning about her father Akio, her heart did not fluctuate. She was neither angry nor sad. She even forgot about her mother Chieko's situation.
This made Akina Nakamori feel uncomfortable when she thought about it later.
Focus on your own heart, immersed in the happiness of finally having your own life. No longer affected by your father's affairs, at the same time, you also ignored your mother without realizing it.
However, Iwahashi Shinichi took Chieko seriously and reminded her, "Let's go back together to see Chieko-san."
Today, ever since she returned home, ever since she heard her mother mention her father's debt, Nakamori Akina has felt an unspeakable guilt towards her mother, Chieko, because of her carelessness.
When Shinichi Iwahashi was having a lively conversation with his mother, the reason why she couldn't interrupt was partly related to the timidity brought about by this apology.
Nakamori Akina kept telling her thoughts to Iwahashi Shinichi without saying a word.
"Actually," Shinichi Iwahashi told her after listening, "if you take one step forward, you will be one step away from the past." This is the most basic and obvious truth.
Since you have to leave your original family, you will not only be far away from your father at home, but also away from your mother at home.
"Is that so?" Akina Nakamori asked him.
Her tone sounded like she hoped Iwahashi Shinichi would answer "no".
Iwahashi Shinichi replied, "That's right." He changed his words, "However, change your mind and take a step forward. After you have freedom, you can choose who to get close to or who to stay away from."
"Since you like your mother, then when you feel that the distance between you and your mother has become farther, just take another step toward her." Iwahashi Shinichi said this, smiled, and relaxed his tone, "
Such as today."
Nakamori Akina was led by him, asking, "Today?" After asking the question, she also figured out what Iwahashi Shinichi meant. She couldn't help but laugh, "Can you still say that?"
"Of course." Iwahashi Shinichi gave an affirmative answer.
Akina Nakamori laughed again at his unthinking tone and complained, "You really know how to talk."
Iwahashi Shinichi was able to move Chieko out with ease, "Chieko-san said, there is nothing wrong with this." When it comes to taking the words of his mother-in-law as a command arrow, the son-in-law often has the ability to teach himself without a teacher.
Although two people live together, Nakamori Akina still feels a bit like her mother is cheering for Shinichi Iwahashi.
She smiled, remembering her mother who just now had a carefree chat with Shin Iwahashi about what happened after her death, and felt that she had vaguely guessed her mother's thoughts.
In fact, the marriage between father and mother had already existed in name only.
Nakamori Akina felt that Iwahashi Shinichi also knew what her mother was thinking. Because of this, Iwahashi Shinichi did not mention it, and she was unwilling to say it.
The conversation stopped for a while.
Shinichi Iwahashi felt that Akina Nakamori had something to say, but it was inconvenient for him to get to the bottom of it, so he chose to remain silent. Of course, he also understood why Akina Nakamori didn't speak out.
Just as he had concerns, so did Nakamori Akina. In the final analysis, it was because, before Chieko herself expressed her thoughts, neither of them could talk about this matter that was just speculation.
…
"If you want, you can enter my family's cemetery."
After her daughter Akina and Shinichi Iwahashi left, Chieko couldn't help laughing when she recalled Shinichi Iwahashi's outrageous words. She didn't have to go out to buy ingredients for dinner. In the afternoon, Chieko had tea and watched TV at home.
To be able to say such rude words, if it weren't for the fact that Shinichi Iwahashi looks Japanese, his hometown is in Shizuoka, and he has no experience of living overseas since childhood... Chieko would have thought that he was a foreigner.
But more than the disrespect in this sentence, the most important thing is that Shinichi Iwahashi expressed his attitude. When Chieko expressed the idea of severing ties with the Nakamori family, he expressed his support.
When Chieko was young, she almost single-handedly raised six children. She worked hard for life, but was overwhelmed by the heavy burden on her shoulders. When her children cried and bills came from the shopping mall, she didn't think about taste at all.
What kind of painful leisure time is it? Just living is barely enough.
As for the husband acting recklessly outside, I don't even care to take a second look at this kind of thing.
In a big family with many children, no matter how unreliable the husband is, it is still better than having no husband at all. The poorer the family, the more so.
Nowadays, the children have grown up and left home, and they live a leisurely and prosperous life. Therefore, they are hesitant and entangled in even the smallest things, unable to pick up and let go. Even though I think about it in my heart, I don’t want to be buried in the Zhongsen family after I die.
cemetery, but I felt that I had nowhere to go except the Nakamori family cemetery.
In a sense, when the Nakamori Building was completed and Nakamori Akio excitedly moved to his new home in the building, Chieko chose to stay alone in her hometown house. That building gave her a chance to escape.
There is no need to think about how to get along with a husband who both dislikes each other, and there is no need to make changes at this age in life.
The building built with Akina's money did more than just trap the Nakamori family inside.
When she realized this, Chieko felt in her heart that even though she did not live in the Nakamori Building, she had benefited from that building and her daughter Akina's wish that the whole family could be happy and live in harmony.
She knew that by selling the Nakamori Building, the leisure she had gained by accident would no longer exist. However, when Akina Nakamori came back to discuss selling the building with her mother, Chieko still chose to side with her daughter.
This is a natural choice made by a mother when she thinks about her children trapped in that building. It is consistent with her past efforts to make her children grow up healthy and happy.
But after that, Akio Nakamori ran away from home due to stock investment failure, and Chieko got some temporary peace. She felt at ease and continued to enjoy the leisure of her own life. This became a different story.
Today, when faced with Akio Nakamori's debts, her daughter being implicated, and herself being harassed, Chieko suddenly saw how despicable and cunning she was.
It seems that after the burden on my shoulders was relieved, I started to live a life of escape. It seemed that I used the wisdom of shopping malls to find bargains when I went shopping for food, and unknowingly applied it to my own life.
above.
Today, Akina and Iwahashi Shinichi, who were troubled by Akio Nakamori, came hand in hand, ready to share everything with her. The mood of the two young people made Chieko finally face everything in front of her for the first time in a long time.
She clearly did not want to be buried in the Nakamori family cemetery after her death, but she imagined in her mind that after her death, the Nakamori children would line up in a long line behind her coffin...
Chieko may not be relying on imagining such a situation to make herself comfortable with this status quo, waiting for the result that leads to "nowhere to go without entering the Nakamori family cemetery."
However, from another perspective, such imagination also consumes Chieko's vitality.
Shinichi Iwahashi said that not entering the Nakamori family cemetery is the result of "having your own choice."
If she chooses to break away from the illusion of enjoying a leisurely life, then Chieko will never enter the Nakamori family cemetery, but she can go anywhere else.
Although the young man said something rude, what he really wanted to express was that if she really made a choice, then he would stand on her side without hesitation and be willing to take care of her life.
"You have your own choices."
Chieko recalled Iwahashi Shinichi's statement, and at the same time, there were various other thoughts that flashed through her mind. She finally found her happy daughter Akina, and after leaving the Nakamori Building, she slowly had several things of her own life.
Children...
There is also the experience that she has just discovered that she still lacks. The experience of encouraging her daughter to move towards a new life, the experience of helping her to gain happiness and peace.
In addition, after spending a long time with light shoulders and muddling along, I have the determination to try to carry something on my shoulders again and let myself have my own choice.
…
In the past, Kenin secretly paid Nakamori Akio's "salary" behind Akina Nakamori's back with the idea of making the Nakamori family short-tempered, but things are different now.
Even if Akio Nakamori goes to Kenyin for help, it is definitely better for the firm to convey the matter to Akina Nakamori herself and let her make her own decision than to go behind Akina Nakamori's back to settle things for Akio Nakamori.
Now that Nakamori Akina no longer values her big family as much as before, the firm's strategy has changed from controlling her through the family behind her to letting her decide on her family's affairs, thereby winning over her.
she.
Akina Nakamori never mentioned this matter, and the firm followed suit. Akio Nakamori called a director of Kenyin with whom he had previously dealt with, and the call was treated as a favor.
Sold to Akina Nakamori.
So that she can know that "the firm will always be on her side."
However, after Nakamori Akina learned that her father Akio's debt problem almost became a weekly feature, she did not react to it, nor did she go to discuss with the office what to do about it.
This calmness was not only beyond the firm's expectations, it even surprised the firm.
In the past, this would have been unimaginable.
Old manager Da Ben followed her every day, and accompanied her from the recording studio to the TV station, from the record company to the magazine, and from Kanto to Kansai, so busy.
As soon as the album production is finished, there will be meetings to hold a theme tour in the second half of the year.
Decide on the theme, the repertoire, the costumes, and the performance style.
As soon as the business trip to New York is over and after a short vacation, there is heavy work.
However, Nakamori Akina was too busy with work to pay attention to things other than work. While she was busy with work, she also gave Omoto an important task.
"I want to move, Omoto-san."
After participating in the shooting and interview for a women's fashion magazine, on the way to the next stop, Akina Nakamori asked her old agent a question.
This is especially true for celebrities who are famous for moving and eating.
As for why frequent moves consume a lot of money, popular celebrities spend money like water. As for the trouble of moving, anyway, there are agencies to help make thoughtful arrangements.
To be honest, Akina Nakamori’s basic necessities include buying a little too much clothes.
...you have to rent a warehouse to store it.
Daben put away his thoughts for a moment and asked her with a pleasant look: "Where do you plan to move to? Do you have any special requirements for the new residence?"
Helping to find a house has always been the responsibility of the office.
"Um……"
Akina Nakamori thought for a while.
Daben was waiting for her to make a request. As a result, she spoke again and said: "Iwahashi-san will also move in with me. Therefore, the house should be a little bigger and there should be more rooms."
The record company where Iwahashi-san works is in Minato City, so it should be considered convenient for him to work.
Iwahashi-san may work from home, so...
As soon as Nakamori Akina opened her mouth, she made several requests for Iwahashi Shinichi.
Daben caught her off guard and was stunned for a while. Although he heard every word, he didn't seem to hear anything.
He came to his senses from the series of "Iwahashi-san" and asked her to confirm, "Do you want to live with Iwahashi-san?"
"It's already been agreed." Nakamori Akina gave an affirmative answer. She smiled and acted obediently to Omoto, "If you want to live together, you still have to tell Omoto-san and also tell the office, right?"
Rather than feeling helpless because of the sudden news, Omoto felt helpless because of Nakamori Akina's childish appearance.
