Chapter 12 third quarter

That night, the Queen of Hearts came to see Mom and me. She was indeed the Queen of Hearts at first, but she became more and more angular as she talked, and turned into the Queen of Diamonds when she returned.Who am I?is an unexpected person. It was the woman in the pink golf suit who came to our short-term rental building alone.I think to do this kind of thing, you must have the courage to go to the Himalayas without oxygen, but she doesn't seem to take it seriously at all. The building we live in claims to have a great security system, each room has an intercom with a screen, and the entrance is of course an automatic lock.So, for the first time, I saw the face of this woman through a small screen.

"Is your mother there?" she began. "exist." "Then, go and call your mother to pick it up." "My mom might not want to pick it up." "You are very self-assessed. You just ask her to pick it up." Just then, Mom came over from the sink after washing.His temples twitched at the sight of the face on the screen. "What's the matter?" "I have something to talk to you about." "It's so late?" "It's urgent." Ma tensed her face and said, "Just a moment, please. I'm going down right now."

"You want to talk outside? I don't know who will hear it. I am thinking of you, my wife, and I don't want to embarrass you. Please let me in." "...I have a child here." "That can't be helped. Besides, he's not a baby anymore. It's good to let him know." I didn't like this woman from the beginning to the end, but I really feel the same about this sentence.Because my mother looked down at me, I nodded vigorously and said, "I didn't ask her to go until this point, but I will always worry about it afterwards." Ma sighed deeply and reached out to press the button to open the door.

Today she was wearing a fluffy white pure cotton one-piece dress, but she had heavy makeup, and as soon as she sat down in the chair in the living room, she took out a cigarette and smoked. No matter how you looked at it, it was hard to say that she was an innocent girl.It felt like a "bad actress playing a beautiful shepherdess, resting in the backstage with no one around" scenario.But this description is a bit long. At first, when Mom told me to "go to the room and watch TV," I was annoyed, but only strategically. "In this situation, can I still watch TV in the room? I'm not so nervous."

"Little man..." "My mother said before that this matter is more closely related to me than anyone else. I am no longer a baby. Just telling me not to worry will not fool me." At this moment, the shepherdess said another good word: "Ma'am, my little brother is right. And I know what not to say in front of children." Mom reluctantly gave in.In order to take into account Mom's emotions, I sat as far away from them as possible. In the beginning, the room is dominated by the King named Silent.The tonnage of this king is so amazing that although I held on, I was almost crushed.

"This house is really nice." She looked around and said. "No ashtray?" "Nobody here smokes." I stood up quietly, picked up an empty can of soda I drank after taking a shower, and pushed it over to her. "Thank you," she smiled, "Your brother looks like Xingxiong." No one has ever said that before, most of them said "looks like my mother". "Hey, how much is the rent here?" She lit the next cigarette and asked, but Ma pursed her lips and remained silent. "What's the point of revealing it. Don't act like you saw your father and enemy killed, okay?"

This kind of shameless attitude made my mother's face change. "Miss, can you please see your position clearly?" "position?" "You and my husband..." Mom glanced at me quickly, "Aren't you and my husband...together?" The other party laughed.To be honest, I couldn't help but smile too.But I mustn't laugh, Mom said that so as not to scare me. If I confessed to my mother on the spot: "Mom, I asked Shimazaki to help me these few days, and went around to investigate whether there is any evidence that I am a child between my mother and Mr. Sawamura." Mom would definitely pass out with a chair.That's how my mother believed in me, thinking that I was an innocent child.However, children are not necessarily innocent, and innocence is not necessarily the best, is it?But adults often don't realize this.

"That's right, I'm with Xingxiong, and he lives in my apartment now." She turned to me. "do you understand me?" "Understand." "Really? Clever. Much smarter than grown-ups." She stopped Mom, who was about to speak again, and adjusted her sitting posture. "So, ma'am, I'm here to return Xingxiong to you today." "What the hell do you mean?" "That's what I meant. I'll break up with Yukio and ask him to leave my apartment, so he'll come back to you." Mom stared at the other party blankly for a while, and then said in a flat voice: "Is this the conclusion you reached after discussing it with my husband?"

"No, it's my decision." She took a puff of smoke. "Well, my husband didn't agree, did he? I think he's very much infatuated with you." She smiled. "Madam, I heard from Xingxiong that you knew about me and him a long time ago? How did you find out?" Mom looked away. "Of course I know." "However, relying solely on 'wife's sixth sense'. There is no way to know the specific situation, right? Tell me. Did you ask the credit bureau to investigate?" Ma stared at the foot of the table.If there was really thought power in the world, the table leg would snap off in an instant and fly towards the woman in the white one-piece dress.

After a while, Mom replied in a low voice: "I investigated it myself." She was surprised. "Wow, that's amazing. It must be hard work." Mom seems to be giving up on herself a little bit. "My husband has had this situation several times. You're not his first affair, so I'm used to it." "It seems so." She nodded greatly, and Ma looked up in surprise. "You know you're still with him?" "That's right. I'm not a pure and lovely girl, and I know how to deal with the world, so he told me as soon as I asked. Xingxiong seems to be very popular with women, and one of them was with the company's subordinates."

I seemed to say oh my god, and my mother quickly said: "Little man, you'd better not listen..." "You've heard it all, haven't you?" "Hmm..." Yeah, I was just surprised, not hurt, "Mom, I'm fine." I couldn't help but screamed because I suddenly thought of about two years ago in June, when my parents were matchmakers for the first time.I remember that the bride at that time was my father's subordinate... Speaking of this, Mom bought a very expensive kimono at the time, so expensive that even Grandma's expression was ugly and said, "It's a bit too much, isn't it?" But Dad didn't complain at all. It turns out that family life under the water is so turbulent.My state of mind is like enlightenment. "In his rich love history, there are many heroic battles." The woman in the white one-piece dress said, smiling at me. "However, brother, your father is very popular with women in the company, which is not a bad thing. It means that he is very capable at work." I just laughed a few times.Other than that, I don't know what else to react to. "It's just that every time the enthusiasm cools down, Xingxiong will always return to his wife, but this time the situation is a little different. He said he would break up with his wife and marry me." Mom made a grunt in her throat and said, "He also said something similar to me. That's probably why he left home." "Yes, then I'll just say it straight." She turned her foot up. "Actually, it bothers me." "Difficult?" "Yes." She stroked her hair as if looking for a split end. "I have no intention of that. Marriage is not good at all." Mom looked at me, as if to make sure I was okay, but Mom's own eyes began to look blank. "So, things are not difficult to discuss." She stretched her upper body excitedly, and said happily: "I will return Xingxiong to my wife and brother. I will say good things to persuade him to come back. You still shouldn't abandon your family, please, go back to your wife, I will quit of... something like that." This time it's my mother's turn. Unfortunately, Mom is about to have a seizure. "So, that's it." She stretched out her hand and spread five familiar fingers. "...What does this mean?" Mom's voice was squeezed out between her teeth. "Oh, do you need to talk about it? It's this, this." After finishing speaking, she circled her fingers into a circle. "Part? Hand, fee! It's only 50 million, a small amount, right? It's only one-tenth of the money that fell from the sky." Mom had a seizure, and it was very thorough. "And then? How did it turn out?" After Dad's girlfriend ran away with her tail between her legs, I called Shimazaki.Mom said "I'll go out and calm down" and went for a walk. "My mom said, 'If you don't want it, just throw it away as kitchen scraps!'" "Treating your dad as kitchen waste? That's amazing." "It's natural for Mom to be angry." "Even saying 'that man I give you with both hands'?" "Isn't this completely hopeless...?" "I don't know yet." "But," I turned over on the bed while holding the receiver, "my dad seems to have a lot of criminal records." "Uh-huh." "It's a kind of disease, it's a philandering disease. In this case, even if Mom knew that I was a child of Sawamura but didn't tell me, Dad can't blame her..." "I think that's another question. Because, which of the two men is the child, even the woman who gave birth to the child doesn't know." "Uh-huh." "are you OK?" "Well. I have also become stronger." However, my voice still became smaller. "I always feel bad about it." "To Satoko?" "Well. Because I didn't know anything before, I didn't realize that my mother was so painful because of Dad's affair. Before this incident, I really didn't know anything, just like a baby. My mother said that she used to I have thought about it countless times: as long as she has money and our life has no worries, she will divorce my dad right away. But I didn't find out at all." "Isn't that good?" Shimazaki smiled. "What nursing baby looks up at mommy and apologizes and says, 'Sorry to trouble you'?" We both laughed out loud.I burst into tears because I laughed so hard. "Hey, Shimazaki. Does Mr. Sawamura know that my mother is suffering from my father's affair?" Shimazaki didn't answer right away. "It's hard to tell..." "But, before he decided to leave the inheritance to my mother, he should have done a lot of research on my mother, right? Then he might know?" "So what if you know?" "It's the 'Sawamura Gambling Theory' you mentioned earlier. Wouldn't the chances of winning become higher? With the money he left behind, my mother can get a divorce, and it's already developing in this direction. If it’s not good, Mom will tell me the truth. No, even if she didn’t tell me right away, she might have already decided in her heart that ‘Masao’s real father is not Yukio Ogata, but Naoki Sawamura’.” I thought of my mother's teary side face before going out for a walk.Although her expression was sad, she also had an inexplicable cheerfulness. "The investigation, let's take a break for a while." Shimazaki said. "Okay, I'm a little tired too. Anyway, the summer vacation is long." "Well. And I've thought about it, the thing during the day is to go to the villa." "that." "You must ask Satoko to let you go, and then talk directly to lawyer Maekawa. That lawyer must know something. If you can ask, it will save us a lot of trouble. If you stay in Tokyo, it is impossible to sit down with the lawyer It's a long talk, but we'll have a chance at the villa." I think of Maekawa's gentle face. "That's right...I'll try it out." If this will make it all clear--I can't help but feel a little scared when I think of it. "What is certain is," I looked at the ceiling, "whether I am my father's child or Sawamura's child, I have Huaxin's blood." "Please interpret that as feminine, my friend." There was the sound of the door opening from outside.It's mom. "Ah, my mother is back. Goodbye then." "Hey." "Ok?" Shimazaki said in a rare emotional voice: "Forwarding you a word, my dad said it once when he was drunk." "What words?" He paused and said, "Every child is a child of the age." ——This sentence has been my motto until now.
