Fujii Itsuki heard this and shook his head:
"What are you talking about?"
"You're not going?" Akai Muzi was a little surprised.
"A professor is always a professor, and Xinchun is always Xinchun. No matter how much Xinchun resembles her mother, she can only be herself. The professor in my mind should not be replaced by a child like Xinchun."
"Ashu, you bastard."
"Very upright, right?"
Akai Muzi suddenly laughed, "Sometimes I feel like you are the you of the past, and sometimes I don't feel like you are the you of the past."
"Hmm? When have I ever been dishonest?"
"On the day of the school trip, when you hugged Matsumae late at night."
".Everyone said it was a misunderstanding."
*
The birthday party didn't officially begin until Matsumae Shinharu entered.
The little princess of the Matsumae family really acted like a princess. She stood on the stage and constantly received various gifts and applause and cheers from people from all walks of life.
She also smiled gracefully and thanked everyone for coming. She hoped that everyone could have a good time at the party.
"Actually, this birthday dance is actually a social event held by the Matsumae family."
"What does it mean?"
Since the dance was about to start, Chitose went to find Teacher Fujii, so Rinka Hiiragi had to stay with her parents.
My father is a senior manager of the company, and the shareholders of his company are from the Matsumae family. As a result, my father brought my mother to this banquet.
"My boss told me that this birthday party is partly to celebrate the little princess of the Matsumae family, and partly because the little princess has reached the age to get engaged."
"That, that doesn't mean."
"Yes," Hiiragi's father swirled the red wine and explained to his daughter, "The Matsumae family intends to recruit a good son-in-law. After blowing out the birthday candles that symbolize her 17th birthday, the little princess will sit in the center of the stage. During this time, countless young people from all walks of life will come forward to greet her and kiss her hands. If the little princess chooses to extend her hand, it means the choice of the Matsumae family."
".Isn't it Kokoharu-chan's own choice?"
"No."
"But, but Xinchun-chan, she just turned 17. How could her family treat her like this?"
"This is a big family," Hiiragi's father touched his daughter's head and replied with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you. But Rinka, don't spread the matter of the 'hand kiss'. Those who know about it will know, and those who don't know shouldn't know.
"Of course, everyone knows that the Matsumae family wants to recruit a son-in-law for this birthday party. That's no problem, just say whatever you want.
"Ah, if your father were twenty years younger, he would also want to go on stage--"
"Hmm?" Mother Hiiragi's eyes immediately turned to her husband.
Hiiragi's father smiled bitterly and held out his hands to block, "It's just a joke, it's just a joke."
"."
Rinka Hiiragi remembers that Chitose and Satsuki both liked Sensei Fujii.
"Then, what if another girl and I fall in love with the same person?"
"What should I do? Dad will help you get him!"
Hiiragi Rinka seemed to be thinking about something, and then asked weakly, "But what if I don't want to hurt the other person, and I still like that person?"
"This"
"What if I don't mind living with the other person?"
Hiiragi's father had a bitter look on his face, "Then Dad still supports you, Rinka! As long as you are happy, Rinka."
Hiiragi's mother immediately stabbed her husband with a knife, "What are you talking about! How can a man who plays with two women at the same time be a good man? Can you trust Rinka to the other man?"
"Yeah"
Hiiragi Rinka fell into deep thought again.
She was thinking about how to give everyone a happy ending. As she was thinking, she felt powerless and saw that Yang Kui Chitose seemed to be sitting idle on the other side, so she sent a line message to her good friend:
"Chitose knows what Kokoharu-chan is going to face today, right?"
Yang Kui Chitose quickly picked up the text message on the other end and replied:
[What's going on?]
Rinka Hiiragi tells Chitose Haruki about the "birthday son-in-law selection" event.
Chitose Yangkui expressed great shock.
"What do you think, Qian Qiansui?"
[Xinchun-chan is so miserable! She was forced to marry by the family behind her at such a young age. At first, I was surprised that Xinchun-chan lived in such a beautiful place. Now I know what Shu-ge said, "It's just an appearance." ]
"I think so."
As Hiiragi Rinka was replying to her good friend, her father suddenly said:
"Rinka, Rinka, look, it's starting to start."
Rinka Hiiragi can't do anything about her father's childish personality of loving to watch the fun.
But she was also very concerned about Matsumae Shinchun at this time.
Xinchun-chan is my good friend.
Rinka Hiiragi cast her gaze towards where Matsumae Shinharu was sitting. She recognized the people next to her: Sakura Nagayama, the housekeeper of the Matsumae family, and Shinharu's aunt, the Omiya.
When the candles are blown out, the guests' gifts and congratulations also end.
The violin began to play Chopin's music.
Under this voice as soft as the night, many people began to come forward to greet Matsumae Shinharu.
It can be seen that Xinchun's family education and etiquette are much more solemn than ordinary people.
But what Rinka Hiiragi sees now is also the heavy pressure that Kokoro-chan faces under the control of her family.
"This is the eldest daughter of a rich family." Hiiragi's father exclaimed.
There were many people coming to this banquet.
Many young men who looked rich and handsome, whom Rinka Hiiragi didn't know, came forward one by one to greet the little princess of the Matsumae family.
But Matsumae Shinchun never took the initiative to extend her hand, and always faced those people politely.
When Rinka Hiiragi saw this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Does this mean that the Matsumae family doesn’t have anyone they like right now?
Xinchun-chan, at least now you don't have to be forced to get engaged to someone else?
What a fortune in misfortune.
Rinka Hiiragi looked at Chitose Haruki on the other side.
Chitose, who was wearing a black dress, had picked up a lobster and started eating it happily.
Looks like he's in a pretty good mood.
Even my father was puzzled.
"You don't even like the young master of the Takagi family who came from Tokyo? What the hell is the Matsumae family doing?"
Hiiragi’s mother: “Maybe they didn’t plan to determine the target this time.”
This further confirmed Rinka Hiiragi's thoughts - there was no one in the Matsumae family that she liked.
Hiiragi Rinka patted her chest and felt relieved.
She took the crab her father had peeled for her and was about to eat it when she noticed that Teacher Fujii came up to her and greeted her.
Mr. Fujii should be one of the people who is unaware of this, right?
After all, as my father just said, only those who are very rich and powerful know this unspoken rule.
Just as Hiiragi Rinka was thinking this and putting the crab meat into her mouth with chopsticks, she saw Matsumae Shinharu extending the back of her hand to Mr. Fujii.
But Mr. Fujii seemed to be completely unaware of it.
After being reminded by Aunt Xinchun that this was a "kissing hand gift", he symbolically took Xinchun's hand and kissed her from a distance.
Aunt Xinchun smiled with satisfaction.
It was this smile that stunned Hiiragi Rinka, her parents beside her, and many people in the distance.
Only a few people, such as some elders of the Matsumae family and a few distinguished guests from afar, did not show any shock.
"No, no way?"
Rinka Hiiragi put down her chopsticks immediately and wiped her eyes quickly, but what she saw was still the scene of Teacher Fujii kissing the back of her hand from a distance.
"What's going on?! Rinka, Rinka, that's your homeroom teacher!"
Rinka Hiiragi had no time to answer her father, she quickly looked at Chitose Haruki on the other side.
As for the current Chitose Yang Aoi, she was staring blankly at the position where Matsumae Shinharu was.
Kang dang
Even the half-eaten lobster in her hand fell to the ground along with the knife and fork.
Chapter 156 Birthday Party (3)
To be honest, Fujii Itsuki is not quite used to the current atmosphere.
Why?
Maybe I felt some class differences.
A watch on their wrist is worth ten cars.
Some people may say, aren’t these just the rich second generation, the playboys from wealthy families?
