Thirty-seven years ago in Tokyo, several important things happened.
The first thing is that under the impact of various ideological waves in modern society, the powerful families in Tokyo began to spontaneously consolidate the rights and classes they were born with for generations.
One of the more prominent aspects of this is the newly built aristocratic university in Tokyo that was funded by major families and only the children of major families can enter it.
At this time, the boy who had already begun to be groomed by Mr. Hatoyama to be his successor was also asked by Mr. Hatoyama to enter this university.
If we only look at it from the perspective of academic level, this newly built aristocratic university definitely has some gaps compared to other established and famous universities in Tokyo that will take time to close.
But Mr. Hatoyama asked the boy to go to college, but he didn't really want him to learn knowledge that would have little effect on his future.
Mr. Hatoyama needs to integrate the boy into their circle as quickly as possible to pave the way for his future in the best and most appropriate way.
Therefore, this aristocratic university with children from major families in Tokyo is the only suitable choice.
It is worth mentioning that this university with special significance was forced to be canceled a dozen years later amid increasingly strong public opposition.
Of course, that has nothing to do with Keiko Hatoyama.
After learning that the boy would go to this university, Keiko Hatoyama expressed the same idea without hesitation.
Although her physical condition is not enough to support her to complete the heavy studies at the university, there is nothing that can't be done as long as Mr. Hatoyama nods.
After all, the primary purpose of this aristocratic university is not to impart knowledge, but to create a circle of mutual familiarity and growth for the children of these families, so that they can easily build and maintain their personal connections and relationships after entering Japanese politics in the future.
In the face of this goal, everything else must fall behind.
Therefore, although the boy also entered this aristocratic university, he rarely attended school on weekdays. Most of the time, at the request of Mr. Hatoyama, he assisted the Metropolitan Police Department in handling cases as a detective. …
No, that's the opposite. At the request of Mr. Hatoyama, the Metropolitan Police Department was asked to assist the boy, who was a detective, in handling the case.
At this time, the boy had begun to frequently participate in police affairs, but he did not yet have the status of a police officer.
According to Mr. Hatoyama's idea, before obtaining a position, one must first undergo sufficient experience.
Therefore, in addition to frequently handling cases, the boy would often follow Mr. Hatoyama to attend various important occasions or banquets. Everyone could see that this grandson-in-law was regarded by Mr. Hatoyama as his future successor. .
And the second important thing besides that is that the little sister of Karasuma family is back again.
Three years ago, this little Karasuma came to Japan with Renye Karasuma who wanted to visit Mr. Hatoyama, and had a very friendly and harmonious exchange with Keiko Hatoyama.
However, due to the sad news that the boy's mother was suddenly killed, before the two had time to have a close relationship, Kokarasuma followed Karasuma Renye back to the United States.
Three years later, Karasuma Renya returned to Japan again, and Little Karasuma also returned with her.
According to the information Keiko Hatoyama learned from Mr. Hatoyama, Renya Karasuma returned to Japan this time with the idea of settling down for a long time.
At the same time, Karasuma, who had just entered high school, was determined to enroll in that aristocratic university after graduating in three years.
Karasuma Renye's return, and Karasuma-chan being asked to enter this aristocratic university, there must be special signals behind these actions.
But Hatoyama Keiko didn't want to think too much about it. Grandpa had his own discretion in these matters.
Then the next day, she heard from the old housekeeper that Xiao Karasuma came to see her.
After not seeing each other for three years, this little sister who is four years younger than Hatoyama Keiko has indeed grown taller and has a good figure, which makes her almost jealous.
At that time, Keiko Hatoyama was drawing pictures for the boy on a forest walkway in the university. It seemed that she hadn't seen him for a long time. Karasuma seemed to be a little nervous and awkward again, and he was afraid to come over when he was standing far away.
In the end, it was Keiko Hatoyama who took the initiative to greet her.
"Ah, isn't this the little sister of the Karasuma family?"
She put down the paintbrush in her hand, turned her head and looked at Karasuma in the distance with a smile.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Following her voice, the boy sitting on the bench opposite also turned his head and glanced, but immediately looked away again.
"Hello, long time no see, Sister Keiko..."
"Little Karasuma, are you just going to stand there and watch us?"
Under Hatoyama Keiko's gentle and kind voice, Kokarasuma finally let go of his inner embarrassment and walked over.
Also following her movements, the boy on the bench moved slightly to the side, leaving an empty seat for her.
"Thank you..." Xiao Karasuma thanked him softly.
This little girl is still as innocent as she was three years ago.
She probably still knew nothing about the head of the Karasuma family.
The first time she saw Karasuma, Hatoyama Keiko made this judgment in her heart.
She could see through Karasuma's heart at a glance. If Karasuma really knew those things about Karasuma Renye, he would never have this attitude when facing her today.
While Hatoyama Keiko was thinking this, she suddenly noticed that Karasuma, who had just sat on the bench, was a little restless, and his eyes were still cautiously glancing at the boy next to him.
After just a moment of confusion, Hatoyama Keiko understood the reason.
The boy just gave up his seat to Karasuma, and Karasuma thanked him, but the boy didn't respond or even turn his head to look.
The boy's cold reaction seemed to make Karasuma feel a little uneasy.
Thinking of this, Hatoyama Keiko sighed quietly in her heart.
Since his mother was killed three years ago, the boy seems to have become more and more like this to anyone except her...
How could this not worry her?
"Xiaoqing, you can't be so rude." Keiko Hatoyama said helplessly.
Following her words, the boy finally reacted. He turned his head and looked at Karasuma, who was still a little nervous beside him, and said in a serious tone:
"Feel sorry."
I don't know whether it was because of the boy's sudden change or for some other reason. Xiao Karasuma looked at the boy and was suddenly stunned for a moment, and then replied hurriedly:
"No, it's okay!"
After receiving her reply, the boy turned around as if he had completed some task, and resumed his indifferent attitude.
When Keiko Hatoyama on the opposite side saw this, the worry hidden in her eyes became even more intense.
