The monk of the way of beauty

Chapter 1966 Family Secrets

In Ling Xiao's view, Harada is also a poor guy. He and Mariko were originally a pair of childhood sweethearts, the kind who can get married when they grow up.

However, for the sake of Mariko's future, Harada is willing to abandon Mariko's feelings for him, and obey the old Yashida's arrangement to make Mariko and Nobuto enter into a marriage contract, while he himself silently guards Mariko.

Does he really love Mariko? It would be a lie to say he doesn't love her, but it's hard to say how much he loves her!

In Ling Xiao's view, those who say that they are willing to quit for the happiness of their lover are cowardly and incompetent guys. The happiness of themselves and their lover is earned with their own hands, and those who so-called love their lover are actually All they love most is themselves.

Why did Harada withdraw from the relationship with Mariko? On the surface, it seems that it is to allow Mariko to better inherit the Yashida family. As long as he quits, Mariko will be able to use her future marriage contract to help herself get a powerful boost and rule in the future The entire family is not Mariko's husband Believers, but Mariko himself, when the time comes, Mariko will put Believers aside, and he...

In the final analysis, the marriage between Mariko and Shinto is nothing more than a combination of interests. As for whether something will happen between the two parties, no one cares. Of course, if something happens, it is also within the original reason.

Harada agreed to such a request under the pleading of the old Yashida. He never thought about whether Mariko needed such a sacrifice from him.

Judging from Ling Xiao's contact with Mariko during this period of time, although this girl is smart, decisive and resourceful, she doesn't have too much ambition. Going back to the old house in the country together, the two lived fishing all their lives, and then lived such an ordinary life, and Mariko had absolutely no complaints or regrets.

So to a certain extent, what Ling Xiao said is correct. What Harada loves the most is actually himself, then his allegiance to the old Yashida, and finally his love for Mariko, and the ridiculous thing is that this is Yashida The ideal effect that the family cultivates the subordinates want to achieve.

Whether subordinates are loyal to themselves or more loyal to the family is determined by individual nature. No matter how the family cultivates, human nature cannot be changed, but the cultivation of the family can make them not only themselves and the family All things and people are left behind, including love.

Harada is obviously more loyal to the family, more loyal to the old Yashida, maybe he did this for Mariko to have a better future, but he forgot to ask Mariko in advance what she wants most!

In Mariko's view, Harada's sacrifice is actually worthless, because that kind of life is not what she wanted, but what her grandfather wanted, and Harada finally chose to be loyal to her grandfather, but to her grandfather. For Mariko, this is his betrayal of their love.

In the end, Mariko accepted her grandfather's arrangement and reached a marriage contract with Nobuto.

However, although Xinrengui is the Minister of Justice of the cabinet, to be honest, it is almost impossible for him to become the prime minister in this life. Xinren's own family will not spend too much political resources to train this outsider who has married into other families. And even if Mariko completely takes over the power of the family, it is impossible to spend too much resources to cultivate this husband who is not in the same heart as her, and to some extent they are still enemies.

Xinren was able to become the Minister of Justice of the cabinet. There was a bit of luck in it. In his own family, Xinren was not the eldest son, and his elder brother was destined to inherit the position of head of the family in the future. Xinren was outstanding enough. Even politically ambitious, he entered the political arena after graduating from university, but in ten years, he has become the youngest cabinet minister in the country.

And the more successful Xinren is, the greater the threat to his elder brother will be in the future. It is not whoever is the most successful in their family will inherit the family. They have managed the family affairs, and have confirmed that they will take over the position of the family head in the future, so in order to avoid future family infighting, they finally agreed to cooperate with the Yashida family.

To some extent, Nobuto has become independent from his own family, and this seems to be the path he should take from the beginning, but now he urgently needs help from all sides, and it is not good for the marriage of the Yashida family. No matter where she refuses, and no matter from which point of view, Mariko is a top-notch beauty, and it is not bad to trust others. As for how to conquer Mariko, it depends on his own means.

This is the situation Mariko is facing now. She doesn't like to believe in people, and now she doesn't love Harada as much as before. She has no right to refuse the way her grandfather arranged for her. Her grandfather trained her for so many years, so that she can inherit According to his idea, she really wanted to escape, even for a while, that's why Mariko escaped at the funeral smoothly, although such escape was also full of conspiracy and calculation.

The depression in her eyes flashed past, and those things were once again forgotten by Mariko. She pointed to the food on the dining table and said to Ling Xiao and Logan: "These are game from the mountains and the sea."

"Thank you very much!" Ling Xiao nodded politely to Mariko. To be honest, after such a long time of contact, he has become less and less resistant to and vigilant against Mariko. It's just a girl who can't help herself.

Mariko nodded with a smile, then picked up the chopsticks on the table and said to Ling Xiao and Wolverine, "I'm going to start!"

"I'm going to start it too!" Ling Xiao and Wolverine obviously don't know much about Japanese customs and habits. What Mariko does, they just learn from her!

Logan imitated Mariko and said something, trying to use chopsticks to pick up vegetables, but it was obvious that he was not used to how to use chopsticks, so he inserted the chopsticks vertically into the rice, and then picked up the fork on the table to prepare the meal. But at this moment, Ling Xiao abruptly pulled out the chopsticks that Logan had inserted into the rice, and then laid them flat on the table. After doing all this, Ling Xiao said to Mariko very apologetically, "I'm sorry!"

After saying this, Ling Xiao turned his head and said to Logan with a serious face: "Logan, in Eastern culture, it is extremely inappropriate for you to do this. In our cognition, chopsticks are inserted vertically in the bowl It's unknown, it's like incense at a funeral..."

In any case, it has not been a few days since the old Yashida passed away, and his funeral was only held yesterday. Logan's doing so was somewhat disrespectful to the old Yashida, so Ling Xiao would say sorry to Mariko on his behalf.

"I'm sorry!" Logan quickly understood, and quickly apologized to Mariko. Anyway, the old Yashida is no longer here!

"It's okay!" Mariko smiled without paying much attention. If Ling Xiao hadn't moved first, she would have taken the chopsticks from Logan's bowl. She said lightly, "Just pay more attention in the future. Everything has meaning.”

Logan nodded, and lowered his head to pick up the food in the bowl. Seeing that the embarrassment disappeared, Ling Xiao picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat, but at this moment, Logan suddenly said: "So at home that night, you rushed into In the rain, what does this mean?"

Hearing Logan's question, Ling Xiao couldn't help being taken aback. He could tell that when he was spying on the Yashida family outside, a lot of things happened in their family, and many things were witnessed by Logan. Can't figure it out.

The atmosphere suddenly stopped, and Mariko's face gradually darkened. After a long time, she said with a blank face: "My grandfather was going to die at that time."

It turned out that what happened the night Logan first arrived in Tokyo. At that time, Ling Xiao was still in the process of familiarizing himself with the environment. He did not interrupt the atmosphere of the scene, but just let the two communicate with each other. He was also very interested in what happened that night.

Logan glanced at Ling Xiao, and then said to Mariko: "You should have known that he was going to die a long time ago, he has been ill for a long time."

"It's not his death that scares me." Mariko was a little nervous and out of breath, which made Ling Xiao more curious about what happened that night?
