If it was just an ordinary apartment, there would be no need to be so embarrassed.
But when it comes to her family, once she decides to sell the apartment she built with money for her family, it's not just as simple as the house changing hands.
As Nakamori Akina has always attached great importance to her family, the real estate manager suggested that she sell the apartment. She did not refuse, but instead discussed it with Shinichi Iwahashi at this time, which can already explain a lot of things.
Iwahashi Shinichi had seen her being forced by her father and brother, and she was in a state of embarrassment but still had to take care of her family ties. Because of this, hearing her talk about it now made him even more surprised.
Unexpectedly, from her words, I realized her inner conflicts and struggles.
For a family like hers, asking her to sell the house is almost the same as severing ties with her family.
When Akina Nakamori said this, she felt relieved that she could discuss it with him, but on the other hand, she felt embarrassed towards Shinichi Iwahashi, feeling that she had pushed an embarrassing problem in front of him again.
To spread herself unreservedly in front of him requires her trust in him and her own courage. However, this kind of honesty is also a burden she places on Iwahashi Shinichi.
But even though she knew this, she couldn't control the idea of confiding in Iwahashi Shinichi.
She would be tempted by the real estate manager's proposal to sell the apartment. Deep down in her heart, her family ties to her father, brother and sister were already in jeopardy.
However, selling a house is easy, but it takes a lot of determination to endure a result that may break your face.
She looked at Shinichi Iwahashi. He seemed to be considering his words and how to answer her.
However, in Nakamori Akina's mind, instead of looking forward to his answer, the first thing she thought about was that no matter what he said, she was relieved to be able to tell him about this matter.
"Actually, when it comes to real estate investment, I also have a small piece of land." Shinichi Iwahashi suddenly mentioned.
Akina Nakamori didn't expect the topic to jump so much and was stunned for a moment.
"It's a small piece of land in the Shinjuku 5-chome area, close to the newly built Shofu Building." He said, "It's only one and a half square meters in size."
"One and a half square feet?"
Compared to the first time she learned that Iwahashi Shinichi owned a piece of land, what surprised Nakamori Akina even more was the size of the land.
She mentally calculated how big one and a half square meters was, and then she remembered the small shop selling takoyaki on the street when she lived in a shopping district when she was a child.
Nakamori Akina suddenly had a strange association. Iwahashi Shinichi dressed up as a takoyaki seller, stood in a shop that could only accommodate one person, and handed her the takoyaki with sauce.
"I bought it when I was trying to open a production company."
Shinichi Iwahashi explained to her that because he didn't have enough funds, he bought a small piece of land and used it to get a loan to open the company.
Akina Nakamori was stunned when she heard this. She opened a production company with a loan of one and a half square meters of land, and then became a famous producer and the president of a record company... The simple takoyaki guy in her mind just now
The image of Shinichi Iwahashi suddenly disappeared and was replaced by President San who was in formal attire and capable.
Her boyfriend is really awesome...
Nakamori Akina's thoughts were running wild.
Shinichi Iwahashi drove and continued, "The current land prices are very exaggerated. There are countless people who make a lot of money by investing in real estate. I am the most inconspicuous among them... But, do you want real estate?"
Whether to buy or not to sell depends on the use and timing.”
Iwahashi Shinichi didn't deliberately deviate from the topic to talk about his own affairs, but when it came to Nakamori Akina's family affairs, even a boyfriend couldn't express his opinions casually.
Encouraging her to sell the apartment and draw a clear line with her blood-sucking family members is both simple and satisfying. However, if you encourage her without coming up with a suitable countermeasure, not only will it not solve the problem, but it will also make the incited mood worse.
There was no way out, further pushing her into a dilemma.
He slowly made up his mind and continued, "If it is a property used for living, even if it can make a lot of money, it cannot be sold easily. But on the other hand, if it is an entire mixed-use commercial and residential apartment, it must be a different matter.
."
"Yeah." Akina Nakamori listened.
Shinichi Iwahashi slowly changed the topic, putting aside the presupposition that the bubble would burst sooner or later, and only talked about the current reality, "If an entire apartment is not run well, regardless of investment income, it will become a
A burden.
The annual taxes and fees are not a small amount. If the apartment cannot be utilized, it will bring down the people sooner or later. In this way, no matter how valuable the apartment is and how useful it is, there will be no other choice but to sell it.
The second way.”
Just considering reality, even if Nakamori Akina gives the house to her family, if her father, brother and sisters do not manage the business well, they will end up going bankrupt and liquidating the house.
"Hmm..." Nakamori Akina was fascinated by what she heard.
When her mother, Chieko, mentioned to her that her father, brother and sister's restaurant was not doing well, she was worried that if the business was unsustainable, they would turn to her again. Iwahashi Shinichi's words, and Chieko's worries, although the starting point
Different, but subtly intertwined in Nakamori Akina's heart.
She thought of her mother who lived alone in an old house because she was afraid of noise.
Chieko was the thread between her and the Nakamori family, but the most important family members did not live in the house built for her family.
"I like my mother the most at home."
She suddenly muttered something incoherently.
"Yeah." Shinichi Iwahashi listened to her confession.
"My favorite thing is my mother...but I often feel lonely." She seemed to be talking to herself or confiding to Shinichi Iwahashi.
Iwahashi Shinichi savored her words, thought about it, and suggested, "Would you like to ask mom?"
"Huh?" Akina Nakamori's reaction was as if she had been hit by something.
Iwahashi Shinichi told her, "Go and discuss with your mother and listen to her thoughts... I bought the apartment for my family. Since I'm considering making a move, I still have to discuss it with my family."
What's more, in Japan, which has equal rights for renting, if Nakamori Akina's father, brothers and sisters who are using the apartment do not agree to move out, there is no way to sell the apartment.
If she wants to sell the apartment, she has to face her family members directly.
Iwahashi Shinichi asked her to discuss it with her family, but she only mentioned her mother.
Akina Nakamori felt like she had been seen through by him. Or maybe it was the subtle thoughts in her heart that were conveyed to him.
"Actually," Shinichi Iwahashi spoke again, "That apartment is also a constraint for Akina-san's family."
"Restraint?"
"Because of that apartment, the family members were like being tied by invisible chains. They believed that their own world was there. Even if the business situation was not good, they still stubbornly stayed there. In the end, it was just
It’s just a burden.”
In order to keep this big family together, she built this apartment for her family.
As a result, instead of being united and tied hand and foot by invisible chains, her family members were like animals waiting to be fed, constantly demanding from her. Not only that, but she herself also fell into a trap and was tied by chains.
After hearing this, Akina Nakamori felt uncomfortable, as if something had been said to her.
Iwahashi Shinichi also stopped talking and did not continue.
To solve the problem, it is useless to just rely on temporary relief. Rather than encouraging her to sell the apartment and then continue to fall into the family's new trap, it is better to deal with the root cause.
To put it bluntly, the reason why she has such troubles now is because she has been kidnapped by her upbringing and cannot escape. If the problem is not solved from the root, even if the apartment is dealt with, there will be other things waiting for her.
In addition, we must also consider that if it is not handled properly, it may lead to impulsive revenge from her father and brother.
"Top singer Akina Nakamori is an unfilial daughter who has a tense relationship with her father."
No matter what the truth is, magazines and tabloids would never pass up the opportunity to send such a highly exaggerated report.
Besides, if she doesn't handle it well, she may be burdened with the guilt of being blamed by her father, brothers and sisters.
Take it easy.
"Alas." Nakamori Akina sighed.
She pouted and glanced at Iwahashi Shinichi's face, "I am indeed a very troublesome woman."
She has such a messy family behind her, but she cannot cut off this relationship. On one side is the greedy greed of blood-sucking insects, and on the other side is the flesh-and-blood love that she has been with for more than 20 years, both sides are pulling her at the same time.
There was a poignant sense of shame in Nakamori Akina's self-deprecating words. It was as if he was trying to make things right for himself after he found out about something shameful.
"These things sound a bit troublesome," Shinichi Iwahashi said.
Akina Nakamori's mouth became more and more pouted.
"However," he looked straight ahead and concentrated on driving, "even if it's troublesome, it's the matter that's troublesome, not Akina-san."
One cannot choose one's origin.
Iwahashi Shen paused for a moment, "You are not wrong." After thinking for a moment, he said, "To be troublesome, even if I occasionally find you troublesome, it is only when you are leading me by the nose..."
Akina Nakamori couldn't help it and smiled.
While laughing, I felt my nose was a little sore, so I quickly puffed up my cheeks and competed with him.
"Is it troublesome for me to lead you by the nose?" She said reluctantly.
Iwahashi Shinichi thought for a while, "That's not too troublesome..." In fact, it was quite enjoyable.
"It doesn't matter even if you say you have it." Nakamori Akina started to get excited, "Didn't Shinichi-kun say that you will take everything as ordered?... I still remember it."
"I haven't forgotten it either..."
Shinichi Iwahashi muttered and handed his hand to her. Akina Nakamori quickly shook it and patted his knee, "Concentrate on driving."
"I got it~" Shinichi Iwahashi accepted the order.
Let’s stop talking about real estate for now and won’t go any further.
At this time, the road back to Tokyo was smoother than expected. When we were about to arrive in Tokyo, Akina Nakamori had been chatting for a long time. Suddenly, she remembered and asked: "Shinichi-kun, is it because of lack of funds?"
, just get a loan to buy land?”
"Yes."
She was a little concerned and asked one more question: "Is it okay?"
It seems that he is quite concerned about Shinichi Iwahashi's financial situation.
