At the front desk, Lang Hua mingled with the crowd, still with a gentle smile on his face. He followed the others and looked at Chi Feichi who was going to the elevator in a wheelchair. He looked away and took the lottery invitation from the receptionist.
The eldest young master of the Chi family...
Seeing the young man in a black coat with a calm expression, she seemed to see a walking black diamond.
The world's largest black diamond, 'Midnight Jackdaw', was heard to be in the hands of this young man after it was exhibited in Tokyo.
The eldest young master actually appeared in Tokyo, seemingly without any bodyguards. It was so tempting that she almost couldn't help but think about 'kidnapping for midnight jackdaws' or 'lurking around the eldest young master of the Chi family to get diamonds' 'Wait for the action plan.
It's a pity that she already has a big goal that requires energy when she comes to Kyoto this time, and she is also very concerned about whether Mizuno Nobuya is dead or not.
If she were twenty years younger, she would not hesitate to create an opportunity and lurk next to the young master first.
Now we can only get her main goal first...
…
The main residence of the Mizuno family.
In the spacious Japanese-style restaurant, low wooden tables are arranged in a '∏' shape.
Men and women in kimonos sat on their knees behind a low table. More than a dozen people greeted each other and chatted. The environment was not noisy. Even the two young boys in their 130s and 40s at the table did not fight with each other and spoke with restrained smiles.
When Mizuno Yu held the little boy Hiroki Sawada in one hand and Fei Mo in the other, the group of people became quiet and looked at the two children with doubts. From time to time, some people took a curious look at Koizumi Anko who was following behind.
The seats here were arranged by Mizuno in advance. There were two vacant seats on the right side of the main seat. While waiting for Mizuno to come over, people in the room were also curiously discussing who those two seats were reserved for. .
Mizuno walked to the main seat, turned around and handed the little one in his arms to the old butler. The old butler took the little one, Feimo Shota and Koizumi Hongzi to their seats, and then he knelt down and sat down.
The old housekeeper led Feimo to sit on Mizuno's right side, and Koizumi Anko to sit next to him, and then he knelt down and put down the little one, Sawada Hiroki.
Mizuno Yoshikazu, Mizuno's eldest son, sat opposite Fei Mo. His eyes couldn't help but linger on the family tattoo on Fei Mo Yuzhi's chest, and he said in confusion, "Father, tonight is a family banquet..."
Mizuno Yoshikazu, who is nearly forty years old, can be seen even when he is sitting down. He is tall and strong, and has a serious expression. He definitely belongs to the type of person who can calm a child with a straight face. However, Feimo just responded calmly. The look in his eyes made Mizuno Yoshikazu even more curious.
If you are not a direct descendant of Mizuno, you will not be able to wear clothes with the family crest, and the haori with the family crest on the front and back is a symbol of the family head's lineage.
He knew exactly how many cubs there were in the next generation of his family. He had seen every one of them. Where did the one in front of him come from?
Wait, does his old father have an illegitimate child? !
"Xiao Mo and Xiao Shu..." Mizuno Xiong didn't know that his eldest son's train of thought had gone astray. He turned to look at Fei Mo and Sawada Hiroki's little ones, and said in a soothing and steady voice, "They are Ashin's children."
Mizuno Yoshikazu was startled, stood up suddenly, and looked at the two children opposite him with wide eyes, "Axin?! Are they Ashin's children?"
The reaction of the others was not much better. They completely ignored the noble family's solemn expression management. They all looked surprised and focused their gazes on the faces of the three strangers.
"That's right..." Mizuno explained the process of "investigating his son's whereabouts and discovering his death" calmly. He didn't explain it in too much detail, but occasionally he could tell some small details. When he spoke, he also mentioned the United States. The detective found the reply letter of Mizuno Nobuma's whereabouts and the testimonials of two paternity tests were handed over to Mizuno Yoshikazu.
Since they didn't know about Mizuno Nobuma's murder thirteen years ago, it was relatively easy for the rest of the Mizuno family to accept it.
Isn't it normal for a person who eloped thirteen years ago to have two children and be caught by his old father?
While listening, Mizuno Yoshikazu lowered his head and roughly read the things. He handed the things to the family members beside him. When he looked up at the two quiet and well-behaved children, his expression was excited and he tried to soften a lot, "I didn't expect it. That boy Ashin didn't end up with that woman, and found another one...the child is already this big."
On the side, the son of Mizuno's younger brother's family briefly read the document and handed it to the next person, sighing, "It's a pity that the couple..."
The wife next to her couldn't help but remind her softly, "Ali, the child is still here."
"Xiao Mo is a strong child."
As Mizuno said, he briefly mentioned that "Xiaoshu was sent to the Koizumi family in Tokyo first, and Xiaomo was in the United States to deal with his funeral affairs." By the way, he introduced Koizumi Hongzi, the daughter-in-law's family.
The others introduced themselves to Koizumi Hongzi one by one and said hello in a friendly manner.
There are three Mizuno brothers and sisters. After the eldest sister married into another aristocratic family, the two brothers stayed in the main family.
Mizuno's younger brother also moved out after getting married, but from time to time he would bring his family back to the main house for reunions. Tonight, Mizuno's two children and two nieces came with their children, one by one with Koizumi Anko. The introduction took a lot of time.
Feimo looked around and found that no one was dissatisfied with the sudden addition of two people to the house, and he felt certain.
The family didn't seem to be worried at all about the appearance of two children to divide the family property. He didn't know if it was related to the family's "primogeniture concept", but it was a good thing that the atmosphere in the family was harmonious, and he would be able to save a lot of worry in the future.
When Mizuno Yoshikazu saw the two children being quiet and looking at other people, he suddenly felt affection and smiled so much that he showed a row of white teeth, "Xiao Mo, Xiao Shu, right? I am the uncle..."
"We only count the family head's children. You are their uncle," Mizuno Rei beside him couldn't help but said, "But don't forget, I am two months older than you."
"You two, don't scare the child. You are both uncles, okay?" Mizuno Lehua, Mizuno's daughter, teased, "But Ashin hasn't come back with his wife and children in so many years, and a bunch of relatives suddenly appeared. You also need to give them some time to adapt."
"That's right. Anyway, the child has been taken over. We have plenty of time to get along. I think I will stay at home for a few more days this time. If father has not settled their household registration issues, I will help out. Besides, Xiao Mo should still have to go through the transfer procedures." Mizuno Yoshikazu's mind was full of 'taking care of his younger brother's orphans'. Thinking about the follow-up matters, he raised his head and asked, "Xiao Mo, is there a school you particularly want to go to? If you don't know, I will take you to see the schools in Kyoto another day, but I think it is better to go to the elementary school in Kyoto..."
"I will go to school in Tokyo." Feimo said.
Mizuno Yoshikazu was stunned and persuaded in a coaxing tone, "Although my family sometimes stays in Tokyo for a while, they are always very busy. There will be family members here in Kyoto at any time, and there are bodyguards and servants at home. It will be more convenient for you to live here.”
"I won't bother you all," Koizumi Anko said with a smile on her lips as she began to satisfy her bad taste of "fighting for custody and making Mizunoya angry", "After the two children go to Tokyo, the Koizumi family will take good care of them."
Mizuno Yoshikazu stared at Koizumi Anko: "!"
【ヘ! 】
Why should other people take care of the children of their Mizuno family? Not even the child’s mother’s biological family!
Mizuno's younger brother was sitting next to Koizumi Anko. When he heard this, he immediately frowned, but did not lose his temper. He said in a gentle tone, "Miss Koizumi, they have always been the blood of the Mizuno family. Now their parents have passed away, but their grandfather is still alive. They should stay with the Mizuno family and live with their grandfather."
Koizumi Hongzi smiled and said, "But their surname is Koizumi. Isn't it normal for our Koizumi family to take care of them?"
quiet……
After a moment of silence, the atmosphere completely exploded.
"Brother, this..."
"Father, why do these two children have the surname Koizumi?"
"What do you think, Ashin? It's so outrageous!"
"Father, is Ashin the bride-in-law?"
"Even if Ashin gets married, it is only his personal wish, and the Mizuno family will not agree!"
Koizumi Hongzi smiled and watched a group of people blowing their hair.
It was really fun to bully these people, it's a shame that the evil Son of Nature didn't show up.
Mizuno was stared at with unwilling and dissatisfied eyes, and he explained, "Axin was worried that we would pursue him for taking away the treasures from home, and at the same time he felt guilty for his impulsiveness, so he used an English name abroad, my child. He also took his mother’s surname.”
"Axin, he is really..." Mizuno Yoshikazu thought that his younger brother had passed away, so he suppressed his accusations, softened his bad expression, looked at Koizumi Hongzi and said, "Miss Koizumi, since Ashin is not a bride-in-law, So, if we ask that the children’s surnames be changed and they live in the Mizuno family, this should be okay, right?”
"This..." Koizumi Hongzi pretended to be difficult. Although they had said that the last name did not matter, as long as Feimo and Sawada Hiroki did not stay in Kyoto, it did not prevent her from continuing to annoy these people, "These are my aunt and uncle. They have already passed away, so I think it’s better to respect the couple’s decision, right?”
other people:"!"
Not good, not good at all!
When the old housekeeper saw that the others had the same idea as him, he straightened his back, "Ms. Koizumi, I hope you can understand that the Kyoto family does not have any new children, and the children all follow their father's surname and live with their father's family. If you let People know that Master Ashin's child actually took his mother's surname, returned to Japan, and was raised by his mother's family. The Mizuno family will become a joke, and the two children will also be criticized..."
"Yes, even though I said this in front of my children with some disregard for their feelings, in order to prevent them from being criticized and exposed to more rumors, I have to speak frankly today," Mizuno Yoshikazu He said with a serious look, "The fact that they changed the Mizuno family's surname means that the Mizuno family recognizes their mother and their parents' marriage. Otherwise, other people will still think that their father eloped with others and their parents could not get the Mizuno family." Children and adults from other families will look at them strangely if they approve of it, and some children may even laugh at them. Even if it is for the sake of your children, please consider our proposal!"
Mizuno Xiong listened silently.
In fact, he also felt that if the child's surname was not Mizuno, people would talk about it, so it was okay to let the family members argue. It was other people who were fighting anyway, and it had nothing to do with him...
