Thinking back to what Feng Zejian said earlier.
Yuan Shang Qianxia couldn't help but laugh and scold, "This kid, he just says whatever comes to mind. I'll definitely let you off the hook next time."
Yuan Shangzhe was cooking when the doorbell rang.
He frowned slightly as he broke off a branch on the bank.
"Who would it be at this time?"
Yuan Shangzhechong reached out and pushed open the villa door.
Then she saw Shimada Toyokoto standing at the door.
"Long time no see, Zhezhi."
"There wasn't much time, ex-husband."
Upon hearing the phrase "ex-husband," Shimada Toyokoto almost lost his composure.
"Is something the matter, ex-husband?"
"I came to see Chinatsu, and I thought I'd drop by to see you too."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shang Zhezhi remained silent.
After all, she couldn't refuse the reason of looking after the child.
She treated Shimada Toyokoto's subsequent remarks as mere nonsense.
"Come in, but don't linger too long."
Toyokoto Shimada nodded.
"it is good."
Toyokoto Shimada entered the villa.
You should know that getting into this villa is no easy feat; you need to have a thick skin to do it.
"You wait in the living room, I'll go and call Qianxia down."
Toyokoto Shimada sat obediently on the sofa.
He broke off a branch and went upstairs, then knocked on the bedroom door.
Kazema and Abyssou Chika watched Abyssou break off a branch.
Let's stop for a moment.
Chika Fuchigami was somewhat surprised.
"Mother, is the food ready so quickly? Or did you order it from outside?"
“The food wasn’t ready, and I didn’t order anything from outside. Your father came and said he wanted to see you.”
Chika Fuchigami was very puzzled.
"Why does he come to see me, his daughter who has even changed her surname, instead of enjoying his own life? My mood, which was just starting to improve, has soured again."
Even breaking a branch on the bank is a helpless act.
"There's nothing I can do. He's your biological father. If he wants to come see you, I have no reason to refuse. Just go down and deal with him and get rid of him."
Chika Fuchigami sighed.
"Oh, that's all it can do."
Feng Zejian then suggested, "Since the practice has been suspended, I'll go and help my sister."
He did not refuse the branch broken off from the pool.
"Ah."
Shimada Toyokoto heard footsteps on the second floor and looked over.
I thought there were two people, but it turned out there were three.
Upon seeing Kazesawa, Shimada Toyokoto's expression instantly turned sour.
Kazesawa didn't want to have any interaction with Shimada Toyokoto, so he naturally ignored it.
Yuan Shangzhe didn't even glance at Shimada Toyokoto before the two of them went to the kitchen to cook.
Watching the seamless cooperation between Kazema and Fuchigami, Shimada Toyokoto's heart was bleeding.
Chinatsu Fuchigami blocked Toyokoto Shimada's view.
"Didn't you come to see me? Why are you staring at Mother like that?"
Shimada Toyokoto quickly made an excuse.
"No, I'm just curious why your classmate is here."
"Does this have anything to do with you?"
Toyokoto Shimada put on airs.
"Chika, no matter how incompetent I am, I am still your father. You should have at least some respect for me. I am just showing you concern."
Chinatsu Fuchigami curled one corner of her lips into a cold smile. "Easier said than done."
Toyokoto Shimada was righteous and stern in his words.
Is it wrong for someone to care whether their underage daughter has had any improper relationships with men?
Feng Zejian could hear it clearly and looked towards the broken branch above the abyss.
Both of them were trying not to laugh.
Originally, Chika Fuchigami wanted to play along with this hypocritical father.
But things are different now.
When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it. Even the deepest valleys have a thousand ways to cope.
Because of the incident at Fengzejian, Yuanshang Chinatsu had been holding back her anger for a while.
Now there's an outlet for my frustration.
"You're overthinking it. Feng Zejian is my partner, not the kind of relationship you're thinking of. We have competitions to participate in later, which is why he's here. And his presence here doesn't necessarily mean he has anything to do with me. Feng Zejian might also be having an affair with Mother."
"Then what can you do, Mother's ex-husband?"
Shimada Toyokoto's eyelids twitched as he was told this.
But that's not all; next comes when Chika Fuchigami goes all out.
"And you, my biological father, came here and immediately said you wanted to see me, which interrupted my communication with Feng Zejian. We don't have much time to begin with, and your arrival has forced us to stop. If I underperform in the next match, you will bear an inescapable responsibility."
"On another note, when you came to see me, you were indeed staring intently at Mother, and then you turned around and used the phrase 'impure motives' to describe me. You don't know anything about the situation, yet you just blurt things out, don't you? Or are you still trying to test Mother's feelings with this phrase?"
"Hmph, now you regret it? You want to see your mother, so you use me as an excuse. Why didn't you ever give me a second glance before? Now you're all about humanistic care, but take a look at yourself. You're an old, faded, middle-aged, and decadent man, a laughingstock. These days, who doesn't like a handsome, charming, and well-built man? Middle-aged men aren't without a market, but at least a handsome, caring older man would be a good match."
"Look at you. You're good at taking care of people, but what do you have that about? You're just an old man, and you're even associated with being greasy. Do you know that Feng Zejian has a full eight-pack, while you only have a belly? He's only eighteen and he's already an Oscar winner. What makes you think you can compare to him?"
"Do you think you're still the same pianist you used to be? All your talent has been concentrated in Shimada Chifuyu now. You're worthless. Why do you think your mother would be blind to fall for you again? My mom just won an Best Actress award recently. What did you win? I bet you only won a discount coupon for the second time at an ice cream shop."
"If you had any humanity or conscience, you wouldn't be like this now. You're so hypocritical. Do you think you're so good at pretending? Everyone here can see through your little schemes and tricks. You're just getting older but not smarter, aren't you?"
“When Feng Zejian opens a class, I’ll get you a front-row seat so you can learn a lot.”
Chapter 196 A Secret Meeting
"Really, if my mother really has a brain fart and falls for you, I will definitely send her to the temple again, cut her hair myself, and make her a nun. It will benefit the temple, not you."
Kazema acknowledged Fuchigami Chinatsu's offensive power.
"Chika, you've gone too far."
"I'm being unreasonable, huh? Can you even listen to what I'm saying? I had stomach pains for three days and you didn't even care about me. It was that mistress aunt who couldn't stand it anymore and took me to the hospital."
“We were both learning piano, but you bought Shimada Chifuyu a brand new, limited-edition piano, while you bought me a second-hand, broken one. When I pressed one key, four keys popped out.”
"You remember Shimada Chifuyu's birthday every year, you even remember the Shimada family dog's birthday, but you don't remember mine. I bought myself a small cake and you even told me to watch my figure and not eat greasy food. At that moment, I really wanted to..."
Chika Fuchigami wanted to swear, but she held back in the end.
Chika Fuchigami calmed herself down.
“I won’t go into the other things, I could talk about them all day. Now you’re starting to build up your image as a loving father, where were you before?”
"It's only because Mother is so magnanimous that you're allowed into this room. If it were me, I would have shoved a used toilet plunger right in your face. What are you pretending for? I'm asking you."
"I don't want to have anything to do with you. Now! Immediately! Get out of here right now."
Shimada Toyokoto was thoroughly berated and slunk away.
He said one last thing before leaving.
"Hey Zhezhi, if you haven't read the message, I suggest you do so. This time it's different from before."
After Shimada Toyokoto left, the three of them immediately felt that the air in the room was much fresher.
Toyokoto Shimada's last words had a deeper meaning.
I decided to take a look at the branch I broke off from the ridge.
Kazema looked at Shimada Toyokoto, who was deep in thought.
"What's wrong? Is it bad news?"
"It's neither good nor bad. Chika's grandfather is turning seventy. Chika has to be there no matter what. It's impossible for Chika to go alone on such an occasion. It would be difficult if Chika were all alone."
Chinatsu Fuchigami looked completely fearless.
"It's alright, I'm at peak fighting strength right now, I can handle it."
Yuan Shang Zhezhi smiled helplessly.
"Chika, it's one thing for you to say those things to your father here today, but if you say those things in front of outsiders, it will make both of you lose face. I don't care about the other party, but you can't do that. That day, you just stayed by my side and did whatever I told you to do. I won't let you be bullied."
At this moment, Feng Zejian suddenly asked, "Can I go?"
Yuan Shang Zhezhi looked at Feng Zejian with some surprise.
"I thought you weren't interested in this kind of thing."
Feng Zejian smiled faintly and said, "Of course I have no interest in such things, but I'm afraid that you and Qianxia will be bullied."
"That's true. Someone like you wouldn't miss an opportunity to show your masculinity and win over me and Chinatsu."
Feng Zejian gave an awkward laugh.
"Sister, if you put it that way, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with it."
With Kazema assisting again, Fuchigami Chinatsu also joined the cooking team.
We finished making dinner amidst laughter and cheerful conversation.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Shimada Toyokoto, fully armed, met someone in a notoriously unsafe street teeming with thugs.
The person was also wearing a black mask with the hood up. The room where the two met was rather dark, so neither could see the other's face clearly.
The other party spoke first.
"Since you were able to find me, you must know that my prices are very high."
"Ten million, is that enough?"
The other party did not agree immediately.
"Give me the target information first, and I'll decide after I've reviewed it."
Toyokoto Shimada gave the file containing Kazesawa's personal information to the other party.
The other person turned on a small flashlight and looked at the information on it.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "One hundred million, I'll take the job."
Toyokoto Shimada frowned.
"This price shouldn't be included."
The other party said unhurriedly:
"This person is a public figure, but you didn't mention that in the information, only that he's a student. That's deceiving me, so adding an extra zero is only fair. If the price you offered wasn't reasonable, I might not have added just one zero."
