Because he didn’t know enough about Ning Weimin, the Chinese son-in-law, and because Ning Weimin himself had too many secrets that went against common sense.
When Han Yingming and his wife came to the capital this time, they were upset because Ning Weimin did not come to pick him up in person, and they had some bad misunderstandings about their son-in-law. There was nothing they could do about it.
But having said that, they still care about their daughter's happy marriage, far more than they care about their own face.
Since their daughter is already married to someone else, no matter what, they don't want the young couple to have conflicts so soon.
The life-or-death love before marriage suddenly turned into a cold and distant relationship with no more passion.
Marriage is not a child's play and needs to be taken seriously.
What they fear most is that young people don't know how to cherish things and just blindly "follow their feelings."
When it's good, everything is good; when it's bad, everything is bad.
When the passion fades and the novelty is gone, there is no longer any will to maintain the relationship and run the marriage.
This situation is not uncommon now.
In fact, a new word has begun to appear in Japan to specifically refer to this situation, called "Narita divorce."
Narita is Tokyo's Tokyo and is the largest international airport in Japan.
Many Japanese people like to travel abroad for their honeymoon when they get married, so Narita Airport has naturally become a must-stop for many newlyweds.
When these newlyweds departed from Narita Airport, they were all happy and smiling, but when they returned from their honeymoon abroad, they returned to Narita Airport again.
Because during the honeymoon trip, some trivial matters may expose the shortcomings in the living habits of the newlyweds and cause discord, and some couples are already embarrassed.
The phenomenon of finally filing for divorce after arriving at Narita Airport is called "Narita divorce."
The reason why this happens frequently in Japan today is not only related to Japan's social structure, but also to the unprecedented economic bubble that Japan is currently experiencing.
Yes, Japan is a society that favors men.
Even though there is a gender equality law in employment, women cannot compete equally with men in jobs and careers.
Most women still follow the traditional lifestyle. They usually quit their jobs after getting married and having children and become professional housewives at home.
Therefore, for Japanese women, finding a man they can rely on is a top priority.
"Choose good trees to live on" is particularly important, as it is related to happiness in the rest of your life.
It is precisely for this reason that Japanese unmarried girls do administrative work in companies, which is easy and without responsibility.
Although she does not earn as much money as men, since she relies on her husband to support her after marriage, she does not have the burden of saving money and can use all the money she earns for her own enjoyment without any scruples.
Buy designer clothes, travel, etc.
Coupled with the support of the economic bubble, office workers in this era have very good wages and benefits, and more and more bonuses and various subsidies can be used for consumption.
Even if a new female employee gets a bonus of fifty to one million yen, it is normal.
Especially due to the continued appreciation of the yen, domestic travel is now often more expensive than overseas travel for Japanese people.
Therefore, in recent years, Japanese girls often take advantage of vacations or leave to travel overseas.
This allows many Japanese women to have the experience of traveling overseas many times before getting married.
But on the other hand, there are far fewer Japanese men who have overseas travel experience before getting married.
Young Japanese men generally have no money when they go to college. Although they have money after working in a company, they are juniors when they first join the company.
The hierarchical concept between seniors and juniors is rampant in Japanese companies and schools. New employees are bullied and bossed around by their seniors in the company, and all chores are burdened on juniors, making them extremely busy.
Not only is it difficult to take time off in real life, but psychologically I don’t have the leisure and relaxation to travel overseas.
From this aspect, being a man in Japan is much harder than being a woman.
In addition, after the war, both the official and the private sector in Japan encouraged the birth of boys, and the rate of male births in Japan continued to increase.
It reached the peak of 107:100 in 1966. So when these boys and girls in the 60-66 age group reach the age of 20, a phenomenon will inevitably occur: the ratio of marriageable men and women is unbalanced, with more men and fewer women.
This has led to the current situation that Japanese girls have much more choices in love and marriage, and their social status has also increased.
In Japan during the bubble era, the most important factor when a boy chases a girl is money. In the end, no one knows whether he will become a slave to money or a slave to his girlfriend.
But what is certain is that every one of those Japanese lickers knows that they need to save money for their wives, and they don’t dare to spend money on personal enjoyment as they please.
Therefore, it is precisely because of these reasons that when Japanese newlyweds travel for the first time today, the groom is very easy to make a fool of himself in a foreign country because he does not understand the rules and has no experience.
These things can easily break a woman's trust in a man.
During the journey, the bride suddenly discovers that her husband is acting cowardly outside. Not only will she feel embarrassed, but she will also think that such a person must be unreliable, and she will come up with the idea of divorcing her as soon as possible and choosing another husband.
What's more, Japanese men don't care much about women who have been married. As long as they are young and beautiful, it is not too difficult for Japanese women to find a new partner.
But once a woman has a "problem" and has children with a man, it will be more difficult to get married again.
Therefore, this further encourages many Japanese girls to have no hesitation once they have the idea of divorce and execute it without hesitation, for fear of missing the opportunity to regain happiness, which makes them look very cold and ruthless.
In short, to put it bluntly, the main reason for Narita's divorce was that the groom was traveling abroad for the first time, but he brought a bride with rich overseas travel experience.
Well, as Han Changzi's mother, Matsumoto Keiko, she naturally knew that her daughter often went abroad due to work.
He has even been to many places, including developed countries in Europe and the United States, and Keiko Matsumoto has already been there.
But Ning Weimin's trip to France this time was his first time.
And as the wife of the president, Han Changzi is also a very knowledgeable lady.
Of course she knows that Japanese living habits are very different from those in European and American countries. For example, in European and American countries, waiters are required to tip, but in Japan, there is no custom of tipping.
It is considered impolite for Europeans and Americans to make noises with their mouths when eating, but Japanese people are not so particular and will make louder noises when eating, especially when drinking soup.
However, the Japanese admire European and American culture. Today's young people generally choose European and American countries for their newlywed travels, otherwise they will be looked down upon.
This makes many Japanese grooms who travel to Europe and the United States for the first time often end up in a very awkward situation because they do not know how to tip and do not understand European and American etiquette when eating.
For this reason, Han Changzi naturally thought about it based on reality. Could it be that the relationship between the young couple had a rift because of their honeymoon in France?
So not long after getting in the car, Han Changzi quietly asked his daughter, trying to find out whether there was any quarrel between them because of their honeymoon, and what their current relationship was like.
"Qingzi, how did you and Amin enjoy your time in France? Did you enjoy your honeymoon?"
"Oh...it's okay. It's just those places. It's actually not new to me anymore."
In Han Changzi's opinion, his daughter's first response was unusual.
Logically speaking, newlyweds who have just spent their honeymoon would not have such a bland reaction.
They should talk endlessly about their travel experiences, the places they visited, the sights they saw, the music they listened to, the souvenirs they bought, and even the things they ate and drank.
How could anyone be as uninterested as Qingzi, who seemed to have nothing to say?
After all, I am traveling with my newlywed husband. Even if I have already visited places, there will always be something worth remembering and leaving a deep impression on me.
So Han Changzi asked again, "What about Amin? Does he like France? Since you have been there, have you acted as a qualified tour guide?"
"He is okay. We went to Cannes first, and then to Paris. We went to the Palais des Festivals, the 5,000-meter beach, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame Cathedral and the banks of the Seine in Cannes. Amin
I still like it very much, and we took a lot of photos. It's just a pity that we need help from others to take photos, so we don't take many photos. Oh, by the way, we are not used to eating. Amin doesn't like those creams and creams even more than I do.
There is too much cheese in the food, and he always complains about the lack of hot food in France. Next time we go back, we need to find a place with a kitchen so that we can cook our own meals."
Matsumoto Keiko spoke a little more this time, but still did not show any excitement and excitement that her parents expected to see.
"That's all?" Han Changzi asked a little disappointed.
"That's all!" Qingzi replied nonchalantly.
"You just visited these scenic spots? Did you take some photos? Like ordinary tourists? Didn't you have any special experiences? Didn't you have any romantic content?"
"Well, it's just like ordinary tourists. I originally wanted to go out on a yacht to see the sea, but later I had to give up because of scheduling problems."
"What about other places? Have you been to Venice, Italy? Have you ever taken a boat like that? Have you been to Rome? Have you seen the Colosseum? St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican? And... have you seen a German castle?
?”
"Mom, to tell you the truth, Amin and I both have serious business to do in France, so we don't have much free time. In fact, except France, we haven't gone anywhere else. And in France
Amin was busy most of the time. In addition to meeting his boss, there were also many unexpected things that happened that he had to deal with. So it was a bit regretful. This trip was very boring. I went shopping by myself.
.If we really want to play together, I’m afraid we can only do it next time..."
At this point, Han Changzi was speechless as he looked at his daughter who was a little impatient after being questioned by her.
She was even more surprised that her daughter's honeymoon was spent like this.
Her daughter was left aside by her newlywed husband. This situation was even worse than she imagined.
Originally, she wanted to ask her daughter how she and Ning Weimin were doing in the capital and whether they had been wronged, but now she didn't want to ask.
Because she could no longer hesitate to conclude that her daughter might have felt alienated from Ning Weimin because she had been wronged during the honeymoon.
The two of them may have quarreled long ago because of this matter, and they are still at odds with each other to this day.
Now my daughter is still pretending to be indifferent, as if it is nothing serious, but she is just trying to cover it up because she is afraid that her parents will worry.
But precisely because of this, she felt even more distressed for her daughter.
"He...he...how could he do this to you? When can we see him? When I see him today, I must ask him face to face. Didn't he promise us to be good to you? Didn't he
Is this how he does it? Why should he break his promise? Is he a liar?"
After holding it in for a while, Han Changzi rarely expressed his anger.
She is indeed a soft-tempered and good-tempered person.
But having said that, women are weak by nature, but mothers are strong.
As a mother, no matter how weak she is, she can never just watch her daughter suffer such injustice without doing something.
If something like this happens just after getting married, then as time goes by, won’t your daughter suffer?
To be honest, Han Changzi's attitude at this time was that the more he spoke, the angrier he became, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became.
She thought that no matter what, she had to have a good argument with Ning Weimin about this matter and ask him why he ignored his wife even during their honeymoon.
The result surprised even Han Yingming, who couldn't help but persuade his wife to calm down or at least control his temper first.
We haven't even met anyone yet, so why get so angry on your own first!
If you want to get angry, you have to see Ning Weimin again. Let this kid remember it for a long time and see if he dares to treat their precious daughter like this again.
However, what was even more surprising was Keiko's response.
She didn't seem to appreciate it. At this time, she actually opened her eyes wide and blamed her parents with a puzzled expression.
"Ah, Mom and Dad, what are you talking about? Amin didn't do anything wrong! Why are you so angry? With your attitude, I don't dare to let you see Amin. You will definitely scare him!"
Han Yingming and his wife were immediately dumbfounded and confused.
One asked, "Didn't you just say that he didn't accompany you in France and always ignored you..."
Another also asked, "That's right, you just said that the honeymoon trip is really boring, your son-in-law is not with you all day long, you are just shopping by yourself..."
"But... But Amin is indeed busy with very important things. In fact, he doesn't want to be like this. He also wants to accompany me. It's just that many things are important to me. He has to do them all because of me.
He is really hard-working and very capable. You don’t know that at the Cannes Film Festival, Amin not only won me opportunities to walk on the red carpet and film screenings, but also bought two French studios for me.
Film library. And in Paris, he also bought 25% of the shares of Yves Saint Laurent and gave it to me. All the shares belong to my personal name. Now, thanks to Amin, I have become Yves Saint Laurent.
The only Asian shareholder of the company. From now on, like the French star Catherine Deneuve, I will enjoy special treatment at Yves Saint Laurent. Not only will free high-end fashion and leather bags be mailed to me regularly, but also regular
I got an invitation letter from Paris Fashion Week. I can attend any press conference of Yves Saint Laurent. This is the privilege of the major shareholder..."
"What! What are you talking about! Amin is so busy because of you? Do you mean that he can't accompany you because he is running for your career?"
"Isn't it obvious? That's what I tell my mother all the time."
Matsumoto Keiko's words forced Han Changzi to re-examine the matter, and his psychological dissatisfaction suddenly dissipated.
Yes, although the result is the same, if you put it this way, the nature is completely different.
Not only is this son-in-law not a disappointment, and there is no way to blame him, but he is actually very gratifying.
As Han Yingming is a businessman himself, his attention is of course easier to notice some practical problems and exact figures.
"Qingzi, what did Amin buy for you? The film libraries of two studios? And... what shares?"
"It's a stake in Yves Saint Laurent. It's a well-known haute couture clothing brand in France, no, in Europe. It should be similar to Dior, right? However, an old-school person like Dad probably won't know that."
"How much did he spend on these things?"
"I...I don't know. It adds up to about eight or nine billion, right?"
"You mean yen?"
"No, of course it's francs!"
"What? He spent so much money on you! Are you sure it was all his money?"
Han Yingming and his wife took a deep breath.
They thought they heard it wrong, and even couldn't believe it at all.
Because 8.9 billion francs is equivalent to more than 100 million U.S. dollars! 12 billion yen!
This number probably greatly exceeds Han Yingming's entire property!
But the problem is that Matsumoto Keiko still nodded very firmly.
"Well, that's right, almost the same amount. I also felt that it was too much money. I said no, but he insisted on giving it to me. So I bought it. I signed the contract in just a few days and found a lawyer.
The legal fees alone cost millions of francs!”
When Han Yingming and Han Changzi heard what their daughter said, they couldn't help but look at each other in shock.
Now they were really sure.
This son-in-law is so generous.
There is absolutely no way he is doing anything bad to his daughter. On the contrary, he is so good that it's almost too good.
But a new question also posed before the old couple: How could Ning Weimin have so much money?
