After thinking about it for two or three days, Kasai Heitaro said to Keiko Kazuki: "I hope to marry you, but unless my wife agrees to a divorce, I can't formally marry. But she probably won't agree to a divorce easily. Because her natal family has high expectations for me and has paid a lot of money to let me go abroad, she has always been nervous. Hold on to me. If you force her to divorce, maybe she will kill me and then commit suicide. Because she is an uneducated woman, it is scary." "Then what should I do?" Xu Keiko asked palely, she couldn't leave Kasai anymore.

"I don't want to have disputes either." "Of course I don't want to, although I understand her feelings." "I have decided to go back to Japan and live with you. Of course, I will keep it from my wife. Don't even let her know about my return." "What will become of that?" "At first she would argue and look for her. But after a few years she would look away and give up on me." "Is it that easy?" "She is still young. When she finds out that I have abandoned her, she will definitely leave my household registration and marry another man. The family court will definitely agree to the grounds for divorce she proposed."

"Will it go well? Since she loves you so much, maybe she will wait for you in ten or twenty years." "Absolutely not. After I arrived in the United States, I only sent a postcard, and then there was no news. She must be more surprised than angry and remarry. Besides, she is still young, and she cannot stay alone." "..." "She will be in love, no, even if she is not in love, she will have an affair. Because a wife who waits for her husband in an empty boudoir is the easiest to seduce a man's heart. That's good, the mistake is her, and the grounds for divorce can be established. When the husband is not at home, the wife does not observe women's morals and has nothing to say."

"You are also at fault. There has been no news for several years." "This point will also be brought up in the family court. Of course I have shortcomings, but this cannot be a reason to forgive her for being unfaithful." "That is to say, there is no love for each other. This alone can avoid disputes and get a smooth divorce. Fortunately, there are no children. However, maybe there is no need to go to the family court. As long as she is in love with someone else, she will live with him or marry him .Well, about three years, I think three years from now." "So, we can't get married during this?"

"We can't be officially married, but in fact we are already married. It's just that we can't hold a wedding banquet. I feel a little wronged for you." As Kasai Heitaro said, he stared intently at Kazukisu Keiko with a melancholy expression. His eyes clearly expressed his determination to break up if he didn't want to. "Well, do as you say, because I can't live without you. In front of you, I have completely become a weak woman." Kasai took Su Keiko's hand, her body trembling, and hugged him tightly. The two returned home quietly.This was three months after Kasai Heitaro left Japan.They went directly from the airport to Osaka, and told Su Keiko's parents and brother frankly everything, saying that they could officially get married in about three years, so they hoped they would agree.He also said that Kasai Heitaro's rich computer knowledge will definitely promote the progress of construction technology.She asked her parents to set up a new construction company for her, with her as the president and Kasai as a personal technical consultant.If you are a regular employee, you must declare it legally, so it will not be disclosed until the official marriage.Her parents, especially her father, had always doted on the only child, so they obeyed her.My mother thinks about Kasai Heitaro's matter that "the uncooked rice has become porridge". Forget it, I hope my daughter can be happy. My brother is a kind person. He inherited his father's big construction company. Why not set up a new company for her? , be regarded as giving her some property.

——In this way, Kazukisu Keiko set up a new construction company in Osaka, serving as the president herself, while Kasai did not officially come forward, but only served as a private technical consultant.Of course, they built a beautiful house in the suburbs and lived a legally meaningless cohabitation life as a couple on the surface. Then two years passed and the company developed smoothly.The company is in Osaka, and the construction target is in the suburbs.This goal is correct.Although Kazukisu Keiko is submissive to Kasai, she is a woman with excellent management skills.Kasai Heitaro's knowledge of computers has enabled the company's construction methods to acquire excellent technology, and it is indeed one of the reasons for the good performance.However, in terms of other results, Kasai is lucky not to be the general manager.Because he lacks the talent of personnel management.Besides, it was luck that he wasn't put in charge of communication.For a person like him who is not good at communication and insists on small principles, it is better to hide aside and just silently provide computer knowledge to construction technology, which is more beneficial to the company.

In the past two years, Kasai has been paying attention to the dynamics of his wife's house waiting for him to return in Tokyo, and has entrusted a private detective in Tokyo under the name of Su Keiko to conduct continuous investigations.According to this investigation report, she was troubled by her husband's disappearance, tried to investigate, and found that she seemed to have returned to her country.She herself is still waiting at her original home.During the past two years, the detective agency's report never mentioned anything wrong with the house. "The victory or defeat in the last year may change after this year." Kasai said to Su Keiko.

"It's useless to send the investigation report once a month. It's just a waste of money. It's fine once every six months in the future. It's the same if there are changes and report together every six months." Kasai said this based on "rationalism", although the mantra of "other people's America" ​​is no longer mentioned.
