It can be seen that Jiuhuayue is very shy when she says this.
A girl
That's true, there's nothing wrong with calling her by her last name.
But once someone of the opposite sex calls her by her name, she immediately becomes embarrassed.
This is also a sign of a close relationship.
Fujii Itsuki recalled the day when he pretended to sleep and Xiao Jiuhua secretly held his hand.
She
He is so tall and looks so strong.
Deep down, she is indeed a fragile little girl.
Easy to coax and kind.
After Jiuhuayue calmed down, Fujii Shu took her to Mrs. Jiuhua to talk to her for a few words.
What’s strange is that Mrs. Jiuhua didn’t show any special reaction to her daughter crying in her arms.
She didn't say anything more, and didn't even mention Jiuhuayue's crying just now.
Mrs. Jiuhua asked her to take care of Jiuhua Yue when she returned to Otaru to study.
*
Jiuhuayue will leave Otaru with her parents in the evening and take a flight back to Tokyo from New Chitose Airport.
Because they were going to Yang Kui's house for a farewell dinner, Jiuhua Yue had to go back to her room to pack her own luggage, and Fujii Itsuki would have some time to talk to Mrs. Jiuhua.
In the small wooden pavilion, Mrs. Jiuhua made Fujii Itsuki a cup of tea.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome." Mrs. Jiuhua was well-maintained, with a string of gem pendants on her earlobes. When she smiled, the earrings swayed and sparkled.
"I have a question that I've always wanted to ask you."
"Please tell me."
"Jiuka, you took the initiative to return to Otaru, right?"
"Correct."
"Why would she think that?"
Mrs. Jiuhua fell into memories of the past. After a moment, she replied, "Maybe Xiaoyue is obsessed with the past. This land actually carries a lot of her memories, including her past experiences of playing with Miss Matsumae."
Fujii Itsuki already knew that Jiuhua and Matsumae were playmates.
"You used to take Jiuhua to the Matsumae household often?"
"Yes, at that time, Jiuhua and Matsumae had not yet severed their friendship."
".Would it be convenient for me to ask about the reason for the severance of diplomatic relations?"
Mrs. Jiuhua did not shy away from the question, "The most important reason is the head of the Matsumae family, who is also the husband of Long Yi's sister, Matsumae Kitahiro."
Matsumae Kitahiro
This person should be Xinchun’s father.
Professor's husband.
In the past, the professor entered the Matsumae family as a child bride and changed her surname to Matsumae when she was six years old.
Mrs. Jiuhua was very surprised. "I didn't expect Mr. Fujii to know so many old stories."
"I only know the basics. I still have many questions. Mrs. Kuka, would you be willing to tell me more about Kuka and Matsumae's past?"
"Mr. Fujii is curious?"
"Yes, if it's inconvenient, that's fine."
"."
Mrs. Jiuhua folded her hands on her legs in a very elegant posture.
She closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then said:
"It's not a top secret. To be honest, I was also about the same age as Qianqin, and I married into the Jiuhua family and became Longyi's child bride."
".?!"
Fujii Itsuki was shocked.
He realized something.
"Could it be that, Mrs. Jiuhua, your surname used to be Matsumae?"
"Yes."
"Then you——"
"It's just that the blood relationship with the head of the Matsumae family is quite distant, so there's no need to worry about that." Mrs. Jiuhua paused for a moment, then added, "At that time, Ryuichi, Chiqin, and Kitahiro, I, were childhood sweethearts who had played together since we were young, long before our elders arranged our marriages. The four of us have been good playmates since we were young."
and many more!
Mrs. Kuka, Ryuichi Kuka, the professor, and Matsumae's father
Have you been good playmates since childhood?
This is really explosive news.
Mrs. Jiuhua looked a little sad. "But since our respective destinies were arranged at the age of six, everything has changed."
".After that, what happened?"
Mrs. Jiuhua shook her head. "If we were to tell all the stories, it would be too long. Mr. Fujii, you can temporarily understand that we were good friends in the past and best playmates in childhood. Because of our respective destinies and family backgrounds, we eventually parted ways."
It sounds like a very long story.
"It was precisely because of these stories that Jiuhua and Matsumae broke up completely."
"So what was the real reason for the breakup? Was it related to the professor?"
Mrs. Jiuhua nodded, "Mr. Fujii is really perceptive."
"Does this have anything to do with the professor's death—"
"No, Chiqin's car accident was just an accident. But it was also because of this accident that Matsumae Kitahiro became more determined in his decision - to completely sever the thousand-year-long relationship between Jiuhua and Matsumae."
"."
Fujii Itsuki fell into deep thought.
"In other words, the breakup between Jiuhua and Matsumae was actually led by the head of the Matsumae family?"
"Yes."
"I remember that the two families have a long history. Will some of the elders in the Matsumae family agree?"
"It is true that some of the elders in Matsumae still believe that they should maintain contact with the Jiuhua family and help them rebuild their empire, but——"
Mrs. Jiuhua sighed.
"The Jiuhua family has already fallen! Another marriage will do no good to the Matsumae family! In addition, Long Yi's father, Jiuhua Yasuhiro, has exhausted all the remaining assets of the Jiuhua family. Those who should leave have left, those who should disperse have dispersed, and those who should change their surnames have changed their surnames. The Jiuhua family, as a huge family, has already fallen apart!
"Matsumae Kitahiro used this as an excuse and used his status as the head of the family to refute all the elders in the family who insisted on maintaining contact with the Kuka family, and completely severed the thousand-year relationship between Kuka and Matsumae."
sound.
It is a past with many secrets.
"What's the motive? Matsumae Kitahiro has no motive for doing this?"
"not sure."
"Not sure?"
"Bei Guang was arranged to marry and became the head of the family early, so he severed his friendship with Long Yi and me. We only visited each other occasionally. It was fine at that time, but everything changed after Qian Qin left the Songqian family. Long Yi tried to please the Songqian family for a while, but with Bei Guang in the way, it was all in vain."
"."
Fujii Itsuki fell into deep thought.
Matsumae Kitahiro wants to cut off the connection between Jiuhua and Matsumae.
What is the motivation behind this?
I guess Matsumae Shinharu is not aware of this.
It feels like it will be a big secret.
"That's all I can tell you, Mr. Fujii. It's good to be able to help you. My Xiaoyue will need your care in the future."
".Speaking of Jiuhua, I also hope that you and her father can take better care of her in life. She is a child who really needs love."
"It should."
"Ah That's good."
"Also, if you, Mr. Fujii, find out the real reason why Matsumae Kitahiro did this, please tell me a little bit. This will be my reward for telling you all these stories."
"That's no problem." Fujii Itsuki nodded.
Things will be much simpler next.
Jiuhuayue packed her luggage and Fujii Shu took her to Yangkui's house for a big dinner.
Matsumae Shinharu arrived early, and Yang Kui Chitose did not lie and did prepare a sumptuous meal for Jiuhuayue.
There are all kinds of creatures, including those that run around, swim in the sea, and fly in the sky.
And the sushi she carefully wrapped.
This girl is really good at livening up the atmosphere.
"Hey, hey, hey! You can't eat Brother Tree!"
"What's wrong with me?"
"Didn't you hear what the doctor said? Brother Shu can't eat food with too much purine, especially seafood! I specially prepared this for Brother Shu!"
".What is this?" All Fujii Itsuki saw was a pot of soup.
