I wanted to join forces with the Hatoyama family and combine the strength of our two families to jointly promote this project... Such a mutually beneficial plan, but I didn't expect that it would be blocked by the sick daughter...
Humph, you ignorant child, you are so self-righteous. This is clearly the only chance to save her, but you keep giving up on yourself with those high-sounding reasons. You can't see the path you should really take. You are simply...stupid to the extreme."
As he spoke, Karasuma Renya slowly stood up from the sofa.
"Even so, she is the daughter of the Hatoyama family after all, and she is also...your friend."
Having said this, Karasuma Renya, leaning on his cane, has already walked to the side of little Karasuma. He slowly turned his head, looked at little Karasuma, and continued:
"If you are willing, go and persuade her. This medical project has... epoch-making significance for both our two families and for humanity.
Don't let that sick girl hinder the progress of humanity... and the world because of her own selfish desires."
After saying that, Karasuma Renya withdrew his gaze and left the annex at a slow pace.
The only purpose of his return was to let Kokarasuma, who had a close relationship with Hatoyama Keiko, to lobby her.
Chapter 675: The possibility that Rum is the illegitimate son of Karasuma Renye
sex
The purpose of Karasuma Renya's return this time is probably to use little Karasuma to lobby Hatoyama Keiko, who has a close relationship with her.
If it were a few years ago, Karasuma might not have realized this, but after training his mind with the boy over the past few years, when Karasuma Renya mentioned the "medical research project", Karasuma immediately realized his motive.
Not only that, she also realized that the medical research project that Karasuma Renya mentioned might not be as simple as he said.
According to Karasuma Renya, it seems that Sister Keiko has been trying to prevent the cooperation between the Hatoyama family and the Karasuma family.
Although it is not clear what the secret is, Xiao Wuhuan knows Keiko Hatoyama. If it is really something that can benefit mankind, Sister Keiko would never do such a thing.
Now that I think about it, Karasuma Renya probably wanted to persuade Hatoyama Keiko for this matter in that hospital room two or three years ago, but he was unsuccessful in the end...
Then even longer ago, when she first came back to Japan, would Karasuma Renya come to visit the Hatoyama family?
What is so special about this so-called "medical research project"?
Although it may not be appropriate to say this from a daughter's perspective, Karasuma still wants to say that she doesn't really know Karasuma Renya.
That’s right, I don’t understand it at all.
When he was still in the United States, Karasuma Ren'ya was often not at home because he was busy with various affairs, and basically adopted a "free-range" mode for little Karasuma.
Even if he comes back occasionally, there is no family affection between them like that of ordinary families. Karasuma Renya is an extremely feudal person. As long as he is at home, little Karasuma will be restricted by a bunch of rules and regulations.
Therefore, to some extent, it may not be an exaggeration to say that Karasuma was raised by the family servants...
Apart from the biological blood relationship, there is no other bond between the father and daughter. What Karasuma has towards Karasuma Renye is more of a fear of the "head of the family" that she has accumulated since she was a child.
After returning to Japan, this situation became more frequent for Karasuma Renya. He was away from home for long periods of time and there was no news from him.
Just before today, Karasuma-chan remembered that the last time she saw Karasuma Renya in person seemed to be several months ago.
Even when she wanted to inquire about her university application, she called at home, and Karasuma Renya just replied very briefly, "Whatever," and hung up the phone.
To be honest, if the phone call couldn't be connected, Karasuma sometimes couldn't help but wonder if something had happened to Karasuma Renya?
This may be a bit of a "father's love and daughter's filial piety", but she really had this thought in her heart...
As the future heir of the Karasuma family, Karasuma Jr. has never even received any education regarding family management.
Although Renye Karasuma had arranged for little Karasuma to attend various top schools since she was young, she never thought there was anything wrong with this when she was a child.
But in recent years, as she grew older, and especially after she came into contact with Keiko Hatoyama and boys, Ko Karasuma gradually realized the problem.
Admittedly, there is nothing wrong with entering the best schools and learning the most advanced knowledge from the best teachers.
But the point is that little Karasuma is the future heir of the Karasuma family, at least on the surface, after all, Karasuma Ren'ya only has her as a daughter.
As the heir to such a large family, the first thing she should learn is how to manage the family and the affairs of the family business, how to balance the interests within the family, and how to drive the family's energy to gain more benefits for her family.
It’s not that learning other knowledge is wrong, but compared to learning those things, developing these management skills should be the top priority.
However, Karasuma Renya has never made any move to cultivate Karasuma's ability in this area, and it seems that he doesn't even have the idea at all.
Compared to her, the old man in the Hatoyama family was really dedicated in educating the boy.
On the one hand, by letting the boy frantically handle various cases, the boy's professional ability is trained, and his absolute prestige in the police force is gradually accumulated, paving the way for the boy's rapid promotion in the future.
On the one hand, she took the boy to various political occasions between big families to broaden his horizons, accumulate connections, and build a circle... These were also paving the way for the boy's future.
This set of operations directly made the boy busy running around every day, and he couldn't even go back to college to attend classes seriously. Of course, going to college was not important to the boy...
You see, this is the way to train an heir. Mr. Hatoyama obviously really wants to treat the boy as his future heir. He uses various means in turn, waiting to train the boy into a "perfect form" and then let him inherit the position of head of the family.
In comparison, little Karasuma was really "too shabby", and Karasuma Renya had never given her any similar training at all.
Compared with the boy, little Karasuma sometimes couldn't help but suspect that he, the heir to the Karasuma family, might be a fake.
She even seriously thought about whether Karasuma Renye had other children outside, and that he had not returned home for many years just to stay in his "other home" to accompany his wife and children who were raised outside...
Of course, little Karasuma was just thinking about it. After all, given the situation of the Karasuma family and Karasuma Ren'ya's personality, if he really had a son outside, he would have brought him back long ago. There would be no need to hide him like this.
But if that's the case, why is Karasuma Renya so unconcerned about her...or rather, about the issue of the heir to the Karasuma family?
Could it be that Karasuma Renya’s illegitimate son is actually Rum?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Although Rum follows Karasuma Renya all day long, he looks a little too weird after all. Even if Karasuma Renya is very hungry, he would never choose someone like this... He shouldn't... right?
Xiao Wuhuan immediately cut off the delusion in his mind.
In short, all of the above illustrate a point.
Although Karasuma Renya and Karasuma Ko are absolute blood relatives, and both are members of the Karasuma family.
However, from a personal emotional point of view, Karasuma-chan has no intention of favoring Karasuma Renya at all. It can even be said that she is actually more inclined towards Sister Keiko.
Therefore, after keenly realizing that the "medical research project" mentioned by Karasuma Renya might not be that simple, although Karasuma was not very clear, he still chose to stand on the side of Hatoyama Keiko.
She did not intend to persuade Sister Keiko as Karasuma Renya said.
But... she also wanted to know what secrets this "medical research project" held.
Chapter 676: Xiao Wuwan, Don't Get Involved in This
After Karasuma Renya left, in order to find out the secret of the "medical research project" he mentioned, Karasuma went to the hospital where Keiko Hatoyama was again.
When she came back, the boy had left.
After all, he had hurried back from the crime scene after receiving the news, and it was probably Sister Huizi who "drove" him away.
Xiao Wuhuan didn't know whether the boy and Sister Keiko said anything after she left, but he thought that it was probably not the case. After all, Mu Tou had always been weak in front of Sister Keiko. Seeing Sister Keiko crying like that, even if he had something to say, he probably wouldn't open his mouth.
The hospital became deserted again. There were several detectives patrolling in the corridor outside, and perhaps some Japanese public security officers in plain clothes...
"Sister Keiko?"
The ward was very quiet. When Kokarasuma opened the door and came in, Hatoyama Keiko was sitting quietly on the bed, flipping through a novel in her hands.
"Karasuma-chan?"
Hearing the voice, Hatoyama Keiko turned around and looked over with a look of surprise on her face.
"Didn't you go back before? Why are you back again?"
"I...I have something to ask you..."
Feeling a little awkward, Xiao Wuwan walked forward and sat on the chair next to him.
"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Keiko Hatoyama also closed the book in her hand.
"That's right... I met the head of the family when I went home..."
Kougamaru hesitated for a while, not knowing how to start the conversation. Finally, he decided to be direct.
"The head of the family told me that the Hatoyama family and the Karasuma family seemed to have a very important... medical research project..."
Hatoyama Keiko didn't expect that what Xiao Wuwan wanted to ask was actually this...
"You know everything about me?"
After a brief silence, Keiko Hatoyama asked back.
What she was referring to, of course, was her physical condition.
"Well, the patriarch also knows something. After I went back, he told me..."
Kogumaru lowered his head subconsciously, avoiding Keiko Hatoyama's gaze.
At this moment, she suddenly realized a problem. In order to prevent people around her from worrying too much about her, she had always tried her best to hide Keiko Hatoyama's true physical condition.
So how did Karasuma Renya know about this? And how did he know it so clearly?
Only then did Xiao Wuwan realize that this must be something complicated...
Keiko Hatoyama must have realized this, but she did not ask Kokarasuma any further questions, nor did she talk about her own physical condition. Instead, she brought the topic back to what Kokarasuma wanted to talk about.
"Kuromaru, how much did the head of the Karasuma family tell you about that medical research project?" asked Keiko Hatoyama.
"The head of the family didn't explain in detail. He just told me that this is a groundbreaking research project that will benefit mankind. He also said that it is the only hope to cure you, Sister Huizi. But you have been trying to stop the research project from going ahead, and the head of the family wanted me to persuade you..."
Xiao Wuwan answered truthfully. At this point, she waved her hand hastily and said:
"Of course! I don't intend to do what the head of the family says! I still believe in your choice, Sister Huizi! But... I also want to know what this research project is..."
"Karasuma-chan, if you're in such a hurry to explain, you'll easily be suspected by the police when you're interrogated, right?"
"I, I'm serious!"
"Okay, I'm teasing you."
After teasing Ko Uesuma with a smile to ease her tension, Keiko Hatoyama's originally smiling face gradually became solemn.
"There is one thing that Master Karasuma said about this research project. He is indeed right... As it stands now, it may indeed be the only way to cure me, if... I can hold on until the day it is completed..."
It takes a lot of courage to say this in person, because it is equivalent to admitting the fact that there is actually no cure...
[Only five years at most...]
At this moment, Karasuma Renya's words once again appeared in Karasuma's mind.
