Chapter 210 Family Changes
After returning from Kyoto, Suguha Ezaki did not go straight home as she said.
After saying goodbye to Mine Shiori who was about to change to another subway at Tokyo Station, she boarded the train to the hospital.
The scenery along the way viewed from the car window made her dazed. Thinking back to the madness of the past few days in Kyoto, she still felt a little distracted.
"Haruno."
She murmured softly.
A smile gradually appeared on the tall girl's face.
The originally depressed mentality had long since disappeared completely.
So she thought that it was okay to visit her mother in her current state.
There are some things I want to make clear to the other person, even if they don't accept it.
She didn't want to let Sawayama Haruno bear it all alone, at least when it came to her mother's affairs, she wanted to face it as much as possible.
Even if she would be hated, she didn't live for him, she thought.
The slightly heavy sigh of relief is exchanged for a relaxed mood within.
Looking at the small bag in her hand again, Ezaki Suguha felt a sense of peace in her heart.
We will soon reach the platform near the hospital.
The half "prison" that the Ezaki family prepared for her mother was actually the best psychiatric hospital that could be found in Tokyo.
Rather than calling it a hospital, it is more like a high-end nursing facility. People inside have relatively more freedom, and my mother is at a stage where she can leave the hospital and go home at any time.
But for the mother, she would not be able to escape the surveillance of the Ezaki family no matter where she went, so it would be better for her to stay in the ward prepared for her.
I guess the uncles in the family would also be happy to see this scene. For them, they just need to use their mother's relationship to tie themselves to their interests. As for other things, they don't care at all.
The car has arrived.
Suguha Esaki stood up and after exiting the station, she walked out along the route she remembered.
The hospital was not far from the station and only took about ten minutes to walk there. Without wasting too much time, Suguha Ezaki quickly appeared at the front desk of the hospital.
After she told the nurse her identity and who she wanted to visit, she was quickly told that her mother was reading a book in the rest area.
Suguha Esaki looked calm as usual. After thanking the nurse, he carried the bag and walked towards the hospital's patient rest area.
It was around eleven o'clock, lunch time, and there were very few patients in the rest area.
When Ezaki Suguha came out of the corridor, she saw where her mother was at a glance.
The skinny middle-aged woman with a sinister look sat by the window, holding a book of unknown content in her hand.
Just looking at this scene, one would feel that her condition is actually very stable.
But only Suguha Ezaki, who knows the other person well, knows that the other person's attitude towards her has nothing to do with whether he is sick or not.
"Mother."
Ezaki Suguha called out softly and took the initiative to greet him.
However, the woman who was so thin that she looked like a skeleton seemed not to have heard it and continued to flip through the book in her hand.
"This is a souvenir I brought back."
Seeing this, Ezaki Suguha pursed her lips and stopped worrying.
After placing the bag in her hand on the table, she carefully took out a beautifully wrapped small gift box from it.
"It contains the amulet from Kyoto, which can bless good health."
She pushed the gift box closer to the other person's hand.
But the response was still ignorance, as if her mother had lost her hearing and had no idea what she was saying.
".When I was in Kyoto, I stayed at Ginkaku-ji Temple with my friends."
Jiang Qizhiye paused and whispered: "The environment over there is very suitable for short-term living. If mother is interested, she can try it."
"take away."
Miki Ezaki finally spoke.
The voice was as hoarse and unpleasant as always.
As if she was too lazy to even look at her daughter, she said coldly, "You keep doing unnecessary things and ignore what you should do."
"Since you went to Kyoto by yourself, why did you come to see me after you came back? Aren't you very independent-minded?"
"My daughter has grown up now. It would be better if she had her own opinions, right?"
Suguha Ezaki pulled out a chair, sat opposite her, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"As for visiting my mother, it has to do with filial piety and has nothing to do with having a strong opinion or not."
"If you are filial, you will not forget what I said. You went to Kyoto to enjoy yourself."
Miki Ezaki finally took his eyes off the book, looked at his daughter and sneered, "I heard from others that the reason you went to Kyoto was for a man, right?"
The other party knew about it? Jiang Qizhiye was a little surprised, but his face soon returned to normal.
She had known for a long time that she could not hide it from her family. After all, when she went to Kyoto, whether it was to help Mine Shiori join Kodansha, to arrange for Ginkakuji as her accommodation, or to help Haruno get opportunities for book exposure, she had used her family's connections.
It was normal for my mother to find out, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon.
But if that's the case, you might as well admit it.
"Indeed, it was for a man."
"You always do unnecessary things, which makes me hate you so much." A trace of disgust flashed in Miki Ezaki's eyes, and she said impatiently, "Yiyuan and the others already know about this, and are preparing to deal with your mess."
"How much trouble will your unnecessary actions cause?"
"Wouldn't mother be happy to see that there are troubles at home?" Ezaki Suguha took a deep breath and whispered, "Whatever the uncles wanted to do, they have already done it. Otowa has already planned to cooperate deeply with Haruno. Doesn't this mean that they can't do anything at all?"
She's not really stupid.
If the relatives really could do something, they would have done it long ago. They would not have watched her and Sawayama Haruno live in Ginkaku-ji for so many days.
What's more, Naoto Esaki went to Kyoto for some unknown reason.
For these relatives, it is more important to prioritize dealing with Naoto Ezaki rather than dealing with Haruno Sawayama, who is close to them.
After all, the former would at most cause some minor scandals about the future head of the Ezaki family. Even if something happened, it could be treated as nothing happened as long as it was properly handled.
But if the latter did anything, it would really cost them their lives.
With the relationship with Naoto Ezaki in mind, they won't have the extra energy to deal with Sawayama Haruno's affairs.
What's more, the Otowa Group also has to save its reputation. It is impossible that just because some members of your Ezaki family are unhappy with Sawayama Haruno, you have to suppress and hide Sawayama Haruno, right?
You should know that today Sawayama Haruno has become one of Kodansha's top recommended writers for the future. After the essay competition, people in the industry already know him.
If the Otowa Group can't even keep its top talent, how can they survive after the news gets out? How will their peers view them?
Therefore, Suguha Ezaki was not worried at all that the uncles in the family would attack Haruno Sawayama.
"You're still talking back to me at this point."
Miki Ezaki obviously knew this, which is why she showed a resentful expression after hearing what Suguha Ezaki said.
"If you are so confident, why did you bother to come here today?"
She asked in a sharp and aggressive tone: "Anyway, you didn't intend to listen to me or your family from the beginning, so why did you come here?"
"I came here to say goodbye."
Suguha Ezaki interrupted her.
As Miki Ezaki looked incredulous, the tall girl took a deep breath and said as if she had made up her mind: "I have decided. It doesn't matter what happens next."
“I want to live my life the way I want.”
"Mother always used family obligations to tie me down. In fact, we all know that you don't care about such things at all. You just want to get revenge by causing division within the Ezaki family, right?"
"Although my uncles always tell me this, in the end, they are still doing it for themselves, not for the family."
The more Suguha Ezaki spoke, the more frank her tone became.
It was as if the "fig leaf" that had been covering them in the past had been completely lifted.
"I have made up my mind. I will not let you guys control me anymore. I will not give up tutoring because I want to complete the entrance exam on my own. Even if I fail, it's okay as long as I try my best."
"I won't listen to you and go on a blind date with someone else because I already have someone I like. I don't know if I'm repeating your mistakes, but I will definitely not become like my mother in the future."
Jiang Qizhiye paused and said indifferently: "So, I will not help you fight for the position of the head of the family."
"Just figure out how to deal with Naoto on your own."
"you"
Miki Ezaki's facial muscles twitched.
Obviously, what Ezaki Suguha said was a little hard for her to accept.
She couldn't accept that as a mother, she had to watch her daughter, her "property", escape her control, just like when Suguha's father escaped the control of the Ezaki family and ran away abroad.
She couldn't accept this happening again.
"hehe."
Miki Ezaki suddenly sneered a few times.
"Do you really think that a child like you can make the decision on these matters?"
"During the few days you were in Kyoto, Yoshito and the others had already visited my father."
She stared at the tall girl sitting opposite with sinister eyes and said quietly, "He already knows about your affairs in Kyoto and the reason why Naoto ran there."
"."
Ezaki Suguha was slightly startled.
The father that Miki Ezaki mentioned is naturally her grandfather.
That is the real helmsman of the Esaki family now, Tetsuichiro Esaki.
