Chapter 516 Another one who has food and loves to play
"Hahahahahaha!"
"It seems I'm a step too late!"
Hearing his voice before seeing him, a heroic laugh came from far and near, and with a screeching sound of brakes, a motorcycle with a sidecar specially used by Taijun, which often appears in anti-war dramas, stopped on the side of the road.
Originally, there were only two rows of lanes next to the commercial street, and sidecar motorcycles took up one-third of the space when parked.
However, people in Tokyo are very keen on watching the excitement recently. Drivers and passengers in private cars on the road basically stretch their heads to look at Gangwon, and they have no complaints about car owners parking illegally.
"Woof woof!"
Before anyone else could interrupt, the dog brought by this old man wearing a khaki cycling suit and a shaggy beard barked twice in a friendly manner.
"Hahahahaha, you think so too, Lupine!"
Lupine:??
Jiang Yuan was speechless when he heard the name of this dog. He felt that this was the worst time Lupine had ever been hacked. What if you raised a monkey named Lupine?
But with this outfit and this dog named Lupine...this person seems to be...
"Uncle?! Is it Uncle Jirokichi!"
The neon signs and street lights shone on the old man's face. Suzuki Sonoko asked the old man with some unconfidence.
It's not that Suzuki Sonoko is so blind that she can't recognize what her relatives look like. It's just that Suzuki Jirokichi has been out for too long and hasn't seen her uncle for a long time...
If Suzuki Jirokichi hadn't left a deep enough impression on Sonoko when he was young, he might not have been able to recognize his uncle at once. At that time, it was like meeting each other but not knowing each other...
"You are...oh, you are Shirou's daughter! You have grown so big in the blink of an eye!"
Suzuki Jirokichi reacted for a while before he remembered that thanks to the headband that Sonoko was wearing, the old man probably wouldn't be able to figure out who Sonoko was for a while.
Not to mention that it’s not without its benefits to not have a hair style since childhood...
Seeing Mao Lilan's confused expression, Suzuki Sonoko introduced Suzuki Jirokichi to the two of them: "This is my father's cousin, now the consultant of the Suzuki Group, Uncle Suzuki Jirokichi!"
After discovering that they were all acquaintances, Suzuki Jirokichi enthusiastically invited Suzuki Sonoko and his entourage to his home, and soon they arrived at Suzuki Jirokichi's mansion in Tokyo.
Although the old man is not married and has no children, the house is naturally big... no wonder the old man stays away from home all year round.
Living in such a big house by yourself will definitely feel empty...
.........Please give me a monthly ticket......
It was probably rare for Suzuki Jirokichi to have so many young people in his family. The old man obviously had a desire to share. After the servants served tea and chatted for a while, Suzuki Jirokichi took the three of them to his medal display room.
The showrooms of rich people are larger than those of other people. Looking at the showroom, which is about the size of his own living room, Jiang Yuan's poor eyes shed tears from the corners of his mouth.
It was also the first time in so many years that Suzuki Sonoko saw her uncle's medal display room. Looking at the medals and trophies in the room, Sonoko, a low school student, was dumbfounded.
Co-author I am still the most rookie in the family, right?
Jiang Yuan slowly admired the old man's trophy, and he had to say that this old man Suzuki Jirokichi was really something.
There are countless trophies that the old man has won in the showroom, and behind each one there is a photo of the time when he won the award, proving that the winner is Suzuki Jiroyoshi.
Tennis Open trophies, golf tournament trophies and even rally trophies...
Of course, not only this kind of more serious competition, but also the Big Eater Challenge where Suzuki Jirokichi won the first place purely based on his appetite. This old man's desire to win is really not that strong.
While Ehara was looking at the glorious history of Suzuki Jirokichi, Suzuki Sonoko and Xiaolan were also marveling at the old man's trophies and medals. Sonoko only knew that her uncle had been traveling around the world.
But little did he know that this uncle would do so many great things while traveling around the world...
Soon the three people's attention fell on a golden goddess statue in the showroom.
This golden statue is placed in the middle of the showroom. It seems that the owner of the showroom attaches great importance to this golden statue.
The legs of the statue of the goddess were broken, and it looked like it had been forcibly removed from its original place by a heavy blow. The right hand of the statue was raised high, holding a sapphire as big as a fist.
Yes, you read that right, it’s a sapphire as big as an adult man’s fist.
After Jiang Yuan's unprofessional inspection, this gemstone is a serious sapphire, not the so-called aquamarine. As expected of the Suzuki family, when it comes to taking money and mistaking it, only their family can do it.
So natural.
(As an aside, sapphire and aquamarine are really not the same thing. Book friends, don’t be fooled. The prices of the two things are very different.)
(The author has seen someone selling aquamarine as sapphire in Xianyu before, and even made up a story about house confiscation. Some people actually believed it...)
"Uncle, has this always been kept here?"
Looking at the statue that was incompatible with this room, Suzuki Sonoko looked at Suzuki Jirokichi curiously.
After hearing Suzuki Sonoko's question, Suzuki Jirokichi, who was originally generous and heroic, suddenly became serious, and then talked about the origin of this statue.
The approximate meaning is that this statue depicts the goddess of the sea, and the large sapphire on it is called the Blue Miracle. It is said to have the effect of avoiding wind and waves.
But judging from the traces on the statue, this legend is probably nonsense... However, this does not affect the historical and practical value of the statue and the gem.
After introducing the statue, Suzuki Jirokichi changed his tune and sneered: "I bought this thing from abroad at a high price. She is the best bait to deal with that guy!"
"Bait?!"
This word doesn't sound like a good word. Suzuki Sonoko's heart was pounding. Could it be that her uncle was planning to do something illegal and disorderly as soon as he returned to Japan?!
"Yes, it's a bait!" Suzuki Jirokichi said firmly.
"From the time I was born to now, I have never failed to get anything I want, and I have never failed to win any award."
The old man said with a strong flavor of Versailles: "But only in one person, I tasted the taste of failure, and it really kept me awake all night."
"From that day on, I decided that I would give everything I had to let that guy have a taste of what I had tasted before!"
This declaration, which was like a villain's, made Jiang Yuan feel like he was stuck in his throat. He understood that the old man was not worried about spending money in this life and wanted to find a sense of presence in the world.
As a result, the pursuit was sabotaged at first, and the old man still holds a grudge to this day...
