About the fact that I unintentionally raised my sister to be a cripple

Snowflakes were flying in the dining room and outside of Tianhai's house.

In the room, there was a peaceful atmosphere. Amami no Yuki was eating quietly on the right side of Souichiro Amami. Her innocent little face made her look indifferent to the world.

Of course, the peaceful indoor environment belongs only to her.

"I heard that we have been dating for a while?"

Facing Mr. Amami who was sitting at the table with the room chief, Suzu Sakakihara didn't want to lie. For Qi Mingyue, she had done her best to say those three words just now.

Don’t worry about my business next time!

You can do whatever you like!

So, Sakakibara Suzu used her eyes to decisively throw the question to Amami Nanamigetsu who was calmly eating breakfast.

The old man also looked at his little granddaughter's face.

"Yes." Tianhai Qi Mingyue agreed calmly.

"How long have you been dating?"

"Less than a month."

"you like him?"

"Um."

"Because of what, talent?"

"What I like is his persistence in trying his best to pursue something." Tianhai Qimingyue was of course a polite comment, but it was also a reminder to someone that he should stick to the promise he made.

"."

Amkai Soichiro made no comment, and then looked at Sakakibara Raku.

The meaning of this look is difficult to fathom.

Or observation? Or review? Or is he just an elder looking at his granddaughter's boyfriend?

You can't guess. If you try to take on the identity of the head of the Amkai family and examine Sakakibara Raku, you still can't guess what the old man's look means and what he will say next.

Amkai Soichiro withdrew his gaze, and slowly turned his gaze to the chawanmushi with rice in front of him. He reached out to open the lid and said in a thick voice:

"Maodian mentioned your matter to me. There are too many things that I don't want to say more. A situation like yours, given your respective identities, is something that is absolutely not allowed to exist. Change it. I won’t allow it before.”

Soichiro Tenkai put the chicken in the chawanmushi in front of him, poured the chicken slices with soup stock with a small spoon, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

During the whole process, there was only the sound of chopsticks clashing with porcelain bowls. Everyone was waiting for the old man to continue talking.

After finishing the chicken, the old man held his porcelain chopsticks and looked at the bowl in front of him again, and continued:

"Do you understand what you are carrying?"

He didn't say this to anyone, nor did he express it with his eyes.

But there is no doubt that the old man is asking Sakakibara Raku, or him.

Faced with the question, Sakakihara Raku did not answer immediately because the waves in his heart had not yet calmed down.

He was still shocked by the answer given by A Ling.

What's going on? !

Ah Ling, Ah Ling, why did you answer Qi Mingyue? !

Sakakibara tried his best to keep his facial expression from breaking. He even looked at Tianhai Jiureli and found that she was also in a daze.

She obviously didn't recover from A Ling's answer.

She doesn’t know either!

What to do?

The old man apparently mistook his current girlfriend for Qi Mingyue!

‘Seven bright moons? ’

Amami Shigenori, who was sitting across the dining table, frowned slightly when he heard A Suzu's answer. He also didn't expect that Sakakibara Suzu answered Nanamiyue instead of Jiureli.

Slip of the tongue?

Certainly not.

Qi Mingyue naturally agreed after being asked by the old man.

Even his father might have been deceived by his younger daughter if he hadn't known in advance that Jiuruli and Sakakibara Raku had a better relationship.

Nanami Mingzuki also admitted that she likes Sakakibara Raku.

What's going on?

Regardless of whether it is true or not, based on his experience and intuition accumulated from handling various commercial cases for a long time, Tianhai Maodian knew that there was a lot of fishiness involved.

He still can't figure out the way.

Wait and see for now.

As a mother, Amami Mihe was also full of doubts.

How did Ah Ling answer Qi Mingyue?

Why did Qi Mingyue agree?

Why does Qi Mingyue still admit that she likes Ah Le?

Aren't Jiuliuli and A Le in love?

A Le and Jiu Liuli haven't reconciled yet?

Questions were raised one after another, but they were not solved at all.

Tian Haimeihe had a vague intuition in her heart that made her guess: "Qi Mingyue actually likes her son too."

Is Qi Mingyue's character too ridiculous?

But something didn't seem right. The fact that Qi Mingyue suddenly chased her back to her hometown on Shikoku Island a while ago already made her suspicious.

In addition, she said that she and A Le had met each other since childhood.

No, this girl Qi Mingyue doesn't really like A Le, right?

This is simply terrifying to think about.

Two girls actually like their son at the same time? !

Ah Le, what sin have you committed? !

Raku Sakakihara captures a variety of emotions, looks, and expressions on this table where there is only silence.

A Ling's dodge, uncle's caution, mother's surprise, Jiu Liuli's dullness, and Tianhai Zhixue's quiet sips of food.

All of this, coupled with the old man's deliberately pressuring eyes, made Sakakibara's heart beat faster and he was almost out of breath.

What is this?

He felt like he was walking on a tightrope every day and his scalp was numb.

Determined not to give up easily, Sakakibara's brain was racing.

He connected everything he knew.

Thinking about it carefully, he gradually understood.

There is no doubt that this is Tianhai Qimingyue's move to wipe out the firepower.

Even though he didn't admit it personally, with Qi Mingyue's immediate agreement, the old man had no conditions not to believe it.

In addition, Qi Mingyue blocked her mouth with "promise".

To let himself fulfill his promise of "not giving up" to her, he had no way to explain it directly to the old man.

What a great trick!

Sakakibara Raku was speechless.

But even better:

Through previous conversations and attitudes with the old man, it was clear that the old man did not agree with his relationship with his granddaughter because they had a double family identity.

Even if the adopted brothers and sisters are within the scope of the law, the old man is not very willing.

[Maodian mentioned it to me]

This shows that the uncle has been talking to the old man for a while about him and Jiuliuli.

Judging from what the old man said just now, the uncle has succeeded, and he is not very opposed to the relationship between the two now.

That is to say——

His uncle helped him put in a good word with Jiuliuli and made the old man admit their relationship.

But now, the benefits that Jiuliuli deserved have been replaced by Qi Mingyue!

Let Qi Mingyue pick the peaches!

Jiuliuli was dumbfounded.

"I know." It took Sakakibara a while to come back to his senses and answer the question that Mr. Amami just asked.

No, it really doesn’t work.

Xiao Qiyue's move was too cruel.

What he needs is balance, not imbalance!

Jiuliuli is now in a state of shock.

He was thinking hard about how to help Jiu Liuli speak.

Just let the old man know that both twins like him!

"What do you think is the difference between our family's interactions and ordinary people's interactions?"

".This is definitely not a casual relationship."

Amkai Soichiro was quite satisfied, with a "quite understanding" look in his eyes.

He then continued:

"You should have heard from Maodian that I have nine daughters. For them, I have always said, don't take the matter of dating too easily and simply. The credibility of the family is reflected in every move you make. I I often warn them that they must not damage Tianhai’s reputation when they are outside on weekdays. I will not interfere in daily life, and I don’t like to interfere, but on this point, I will never give in.”

"."

It's over, now there's no last way.

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Sakakihara Raku understood that he must not let the old man know that both sisters liked him.

He didn't agree with it in the first place, and then let him know that both his granddaughters like the same person.

Everything is messed up.

"Do you understand what I mean?"

"Understood." Sakakihara answered with a lot of pressure.

"You understand, right? Let me think about it. Well, Qi Mingyue is turning sixteen this October. You are more than a year older than her, which means you are seventeen and about to turn eighteen."

Amkai Soichiro placed the porcelain chopsticks on the chopstick pillow. He pondered for a moment, and then said without any doubt:

"Let's do this. On the day you turn eighteen, you and Qi Mingyue will decide to get married."

Sakakihara Raku: "!?"

Sakakihara Suzu was surprised: ‘Huh? ! Are you about to get engaged? ’

Tianhai Qimingyue drank tea calmly: "The time can be a little earlier."

"You are impatient. Actually, eighteen is just right."

".grandfather!"

Tianhai Jiuliuli couldn't sit still at all. She stood up, wanting to loudly accuse Qi Mingyue, the thief.

But, what can she do?

I can’t tell my grandpa that I like Sakakibara Raku.

I can’t tell my grandpa that I am my real girlfriend.

Tianhai Jiuliuli still tried his best to suppress his emotions due to his good qualities and the knowledge that he should not let his grandfather discover the clues.

Calm down, be calm.

If I say it now, it will be all over.

Tianhai Jiuliuli glanced at Tianhai Qimingyue obviously, and then realized that this sister was still drinking tea calmly.

A posture of "Sister, I win this time".

How abominable!

Tianhai Jiuliuli sat back again, angry in his heart, but not overwhelmed by the anger.

She tried her best to keep a straight face, trying to tell herself not to be angry, but to be calm and collected.

It was precisely because of her efforts that no one noticed anything strange.

Amkai Soichiro looked at Amakai Kuruuri who was about to speak, and he was not surprised that someone raised questions.

"Jiu Liuli?"

"Yeah, grandpa."

"What do you want to say?"

"I just think it would be inappropriate to get engaged to Qi Mingyue so early, right?"

The old man waited for a moment, and then continued while picking up the vegetables:

"Of course it's not that simple. If he doesn't meet the standards I need when he turns eighteen, the engagement will naturally be out of the question. The engagement can never be so hasty, but your sister seems quite anxious."

Qi Mingyue, can she not be impatient?

Tianhai Jiuliuli was anxious.

If you are really engaged, what should you do if you are really engaged?

Amkai Soichiro said to Sakakibara Raku again:

"Do you know why I want to get you engaged so early?"

"Understand better." Sakakibara replied.

"Well, well, I won't beat around the bush with you. I have learned about you from Shigeden in advance, and I have privately asked Tachibana Kiyohara to help me pay attention to your performance in school. Shigeden has most likely told you about this. In other words, I have been following you for a long time.

"In my opinion, you are a person who is obviously worth cultivating. Regardless of your grades, just the improvement you have shown in school is enough for me to give you a certain amount of time."

"Understood." Sakakibara nodded.

"I got you engaged so early for a simple purpose - to tie you to our Tianhai family's ship early. Only after you get engaged will I feel more confident in cultivating you through family resources."

Amkai Soichiro paused for a moment.

"As the heir to the family."

"."

The Tianhai family is now full of daughters. From a certain perspective, it really embarrasses the old man.

"Of course, there are prerequisites for this," Soichiro Tenkai continued, "You need to meet several of my conditions. First, change your surname to Tianhai after getting engaged; second, take over part of the family company after graduation and learn management; third, soon Later, I will throw you a bad debt that continues to make losses. You need to turn losses into profits when you are eighteen, that is, within these few months;

"Agree to these conditions, and when you are of the right age, you can get engaged to Qi Mingyue."

The last one is the most important, the old man wants to see his ability to solve problems.

but,

wrong!

Totally wrong!

Why did he suddenly agree to be engaged to Qi Mingyue?

A few seconds ago, wasn't the old man asking about his relationship with his granddaughter?

"It's too early." Tianhai Maodian suddenly interrupted.

Amkai Soichiro followed the voice and looked towards his son.

Tianhai Maodian met his father's gaze: "It's too early to get engaged, and it's too early to conduct your inspection. Le is only in the first grade of high school now."

"Then you want me to marry off my granddaughter without doing anything." Amkai Soichiro's words did not waver, he was just stating an undoubted fact.

"This is a matter for the younger generation."

"That's what you told me when you married the British guy."

Tian Hai Mao Pian pretended not to see his father's expression and continued: "You are a little hasty in wanting Le to be the heir. You have so many sons-in-law, you have to pick them."

"Modenori, you understand what it means to be young."

"There's no need to train him so early," Tianhai Maodian looked back, ignoring the pressure from his father's eyes, "It's not too late to discuss this matter after Ale graduates from high school. Now you suddenly have to agree to the choice you gave him, you Have you considered his own thoughts?"

"If you want to get something, you should naturally give something."

"This is just a wishful thinking you attach to others."

"You didn't listen to me at first, and now you're back? Where's the woman who asked you to go to England before?"

"Let's discuss matters as they are, you don't have to settle old scores all the time."

"This is not rehashing old scores, this is teaching you how to talk to your father."

The smell of gunpowder between Tianhai and his son is getting stronger and stronger, and the pressure in Sakakibara Raku's heart is also increasing.

Especially Jiuliuli.

When Jiu Liuli heard that he was going to be engaged to Qi Mingyue, her heart was filled with despair, and Sakakibara Raku also felt uncomfortable.

She must have never imagined that one second she was still a decent girlfriend, and the next second she was labeled as a third party.

Grandpa arranged the engagement forcefully and would not let anyone else interfere.

He wouldn't even listen to his uncle's words.

What to do?

Sakakibara frowned deeply.

No, I have to say something.

He must try to resolve the extremely anxious situation, calm down Jiu Liuli's mood, and prevent the old man from getting engaged to her.

First of all, we must keep in mind that we cannot let the old man know that he has the idea of ​​​​"I want it all."

"Everyone, can you listen to what I have to say?" Sakakihara stood up with his hands on the table.

for a moment,

Everyone in the restaurant looked at him, including the father and son Amami Soichiro and Amami Shigenori who were arguing. Even Uncle Sakura, who had been standing at the door sighing in his heart, "The master and the master are quarreling again", also looked at Sakakibara Raku.

Except for Tianhai Zhixue, who has been taking small bites to eat, she is indifferent to the world.

The large and spacious Japanese room suddenly became quiet.

The air was so silent that Sakakibara couldn't help but hold his breath. He deliberately improved his five senses and accidentally observed the many famous swords placed behind Mr. Amami, as well as the huge copybook with the word "heart" in it.

Under the gaze of everyone.

Amkai Soichiro's gaze was particularly stressful.

Sakakibara let out a sigh of relief and nodded to the old man: "First of all, I would like to thank Grandpa for the hospitality of this breakfast, and also thank Grandpa for thinking so much about me, but I think it is still too early for the wedding."

After hearing this, Amami Kuruuri looked directly at Sakakibara Raku.

No one knows what is going on in her mind.

Amami Nanamigetsu was quite disgusted with Sakakihara Raku suddenly interrupting the good things between the two of them.

From my sister's perspective, he must be a very thoughtful guy.

But from the perspective of Qimingyue

Forget it, it can be regarded as his adaptability.

If he doesn't care about his sister, he will look down on him.

Because this means that he doesn't care about people at all.

"Are you denying my decision?"

"Yes, because grandpa's decision does not suit you now."

"reason?"

Under the gaze of the family head, Raku Sakakibara replied with a normal expression: "When I was eighteen years old, Nanamigetsu was only sixteen years old. For a young man who was only in the first year of high school, this age was just like what his uncle said. ,too small."

"Young age is not a problem." Soichiro Amakai was obviously unhappy and frowned.

"On the contrary, it is precisely because of my young age that grandpa cannot get married prematurely. You are the head of the Tianhai family. You must be aware of the changes in values ​​in modern times, right? This will definitely affect people's judgments on some things today. And in the long span from engagement to marriage, as you grow up, your values ​​will also change. During this period, there will definitely be various uncontrollable factors. If you want to eliminate all these factors, you must be more restrained."

"What do you want to say?" Soichiro Tiankai somewhat understood what he meant.

"Premature marriage will bind people. I think grandpa also understands what premature binding means, right?"

"." Soichiro Tenkai was silent.

Amami Madenori also fell silent after hearing this.

Sakakihara Raku's tone is tactful, and her actions and demeanor are polite.

His words are actually reminding the old man that premature restraint will lead people to follow Uncle Tianhai's old path.

If the old man changes, then this sentence is definitely the thing that the old man least wants and hates to see.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Soichiro Amkai didn't feel any offense to Sakakibara Raku, which instead made the old man take a look at his little daughter, Amami Noyuki.

Raku Sakakibara immediately added: "Of course I have no problem with the second condition. Being able to have a decent corporate management job as soon as I graduate is something I can only dream of. As for the third condition."

Sakakibara deliberately straightened his back and glanced at Amami Shigenori, who was leaning on the table with his hands:

"I would also like to thank my uncle for speaking for me just now, but I think there is no need to refuse the test of this third condition. I am confident enough and can completely solve the problem grandpa asked."

"confidence?"

"Yes, confidence."

Amkai Soichiro looked at him and smiled interestingly. The wrinkles on his face revealed that he was unexpectedly surprised by Sakakibara's answer. He put his hands into the sleeves of his gray and black kimono:

"Is it before you know what test I am going to give you?"

"Yes."

"Even so, can you still say that you have confidence in yourself?"

"Yes, confident."

"Haha, interesting. What a arrogant and interesting young man."

Soichiro Amakai slapped the table with one hand, which caused Amami no Yuki to look at her father with doubts in her eyes.

The old man stood up with a smile. He walked to the old housekeeper Uncle Ying and took the fluffy cloak from his hand.

After tying the cloak around his neck, the old man stood at the door of the Japanese room, as if he was about to go out.

He said to Sakakibara Raku:

"Very good. Although arrogance is a bit arrogant, few people are more arrogant in front of me. Considering that you are my step-grandson, I will choose a more difficult test for you as appropriate. You can say it At the front, if you can’t finish—”

"Thank you, grandpa." Sakakibara nodded immediately and thanked him.

"You're pretty good."

Amkai Soichiro shook his head with a smile, and explained to everyone who was still dining that he was going to the club. Finally, he glanced at his little daughter sitting at the other end of the dining table.

snow

All kinds of experiences flashed before my eyes.

Soichiro Amkai also had some nostalgia in his eyes.

Perhaps, the child was right, too much restraint was not conducive to her growth as herself.

Maybe, it's time to change things up a bit.

Afterwards, Soichiro Amkai walked out of the dining room, and the back of the old man in gray and black kimono disappeared from everyone's eyes.

Uncle Ying also bent down and said goodbye to everyone, and temporarily disappeared from everyone's sight.

The head of the family disappeared, and Raku Sakakihara breathed a sigh of relief.

Comfortable.

But what is this?

Aren’t you here to accompany A Ling to her birthday party today?

Have such a stressful birthday party?

Tuk Tuk.

At this moment, there was another sudden sound that broke the silence.

Amami Shigenori knocked on the dining table with his fingers. His expression was extremely serious, his eyes focused on the faces of Sakakibara Raku, Amami Nanamigetsu, Amami Kuruuri and Sakakibara Suzu.

His eyes swept over them one by one.

Then, using the serious voice of a middle-aged man as a lawyer, he said seriously to the crowd:

"Okay, now tell me what's going on with you."
