Chapter 152 I wish I hadn’t given birth to you
Tokyo’s Ota Ward, Denen Chofu residential area.
It was still the familiar bathroom. After coming out of it, Suguha Ezaki kept wiping her hair with a towel.
After passing through the corridor, she wanted to go straight back to the room upstairs to take a rest, but just after rounding the corner, the family servant stopped her.
"Madam has been waiting in the reception room for a long time."
The servant bowed slightly and said in a low voice: "I'll let you go over there after the lady has finished bathing."
"Mother?"
Esaki Suguha was in a daze for a moment, and then replied: "I understand, I will go there now."
The servant did not move, but carefully focused his gaze on the towel held in Esaki Suguha's hand.
After a moment of silence, Esaki Suguha handed over the towel to the other party.
Her hair was not dry yet, so she felt a little disappointed.
But it was impossible to wipe it off anymore, because my mother was a person who attached great importance to appearance.
Chatting while wiping her hair would only make her unhappy inside.
Speaking of which, when was the last time the other party came over?
I don’t remember much, it seems that it was around October last year, and we didn’t even spend Christmas and the following New Year together.
But this is normal. Because during Christmas and New Year, my grandfather took him out to attend so-called upper class banquets.
With a slightly complicated mood, Esaki Suguha walked to the reception room.
After opening the door, the people inside seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
Looking at the woman with an unbelievably thin face, sitting there like a skeleton, Esaki Suguha was silent for a long time, but still took the initiative to say hello: "Mother."
"sit."
An extremely hoarse voice sounded, making it difficult to imagine that it came from the mouth of Ezaki Suguha's biological mother.
Obviously, as the only daughter of the Esaki family, Suguha has a perfect tall figure that is not inferior to any mature woman, and a clear and sweet voice, but as the biological mother who gave her half of her life, Esaki Miki seems to give people a completely different feeling.
"Mother, long time no see"
Esaki Suguha sat carefully in front of the other party and whispered: "Are you feeling better recently?"
"I heard Naoto say, what did you ask him to do recently?"
Ezaki Miki did not answer her daughter's answer, but continued in that hoarse voice: "Naoto also said that he is very happy that his sister is finally willing to ask him for something, so he will definitely work hard to help realize her wish."
"I"
Esaki Suguha opened her mouth, but nothing came out.
She did find Naoto Ezaki.
Please ask your brother, who is in charge of the Esaki family's industry, to use some connections to arrange Mine Shiori to work within the Otowa Group. At the same time, use this part of the connections to take special care of Haruno Sawayama who may join in the future.
Although I haven't received any definite feedback yet, the greetings have already been sent.
This is something Naoto Ezaki has promised her, and she knows that the other party will not deceive her about this kind of thing. Rather, her brother has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
But the mother in front of her seemed to be angry just because of this matter.
"What you want to do can only be accomplished with the help of others."
"How can you look like an heir to the Esaki family?"
When he said this, Ezaki Miki raised his face and looked at his daughter with hatred.
"It's just a small thing like saying hello, but you can't even do such a thing?"
"."
Esaki Suguha closed her eyes and stopped talking.
Mother is starting again.
Blame the fault on her.
But she won't be angry because of it, she just feels that the other person is very pitiful.
“Did Grandfather’s education fail to this extent?”
Esaki Miki looked at her daughter who had her eyes closed tightly, and sneered: "Have you forgotten what I taught you before? I asked you to take over the Esaki family's family business early. What have you done now? of?"
"Forget about academic matters, it's not something that can't be solved by spending more money. As for the kendo matters, my grandfather has never been to watch your competition once, right? If this continues, won't the family business eventually fall into Naoto's hands? ?”
"What's wrong with falling into my brother's hands?" Esaki Suguha suddenly asked.
She slowly opened her eyes, stared at her mother, and said softly: "What's wrong with this kind of thing even if it is taken over by my brother?"
"Grandfather didn't say anything, and the members of the sideline didn't have any objections either. My brother is not only smart in business, but he's also very fair and fair in dealing with people."
"Obviously his mother is not his biological mother, but no matter how busy he is, he still takes two days a week to visit his mother. What's wrong with such an heir?"
She really didn't understand why her mother had such extreme ideas.
Naoto Esaki's treatment of their mother and daughter can be said to be impeccable. Even though he only had half of the same blood on his body, he still fulfilled his duties as an elder brother and adopted son.
I am slightly inferior to Naoto Esaki in terms of academics, kendo, and business talent.
In this case, the person who succeeds as the head of the Esaki family should be the other party.
Esaki Suguha didn't care about these things at all.
But the woman in front of me seemed to have different ideas
"What are you talking about?"
Esaki Miki clenched her teeth tightly and made a crunching sound. His expression also became a little inexplicably scary.
"Didn't I tell you many times? You are not allowed to evade family obligations. Your father is a scumbag. It is because he evaded such things that I became so unfortunate." She screamed loudly.
Faced with her "acting", Esaki Suguha just sighed softly.
She knew what the other party said was right.
After the irresponsible character named "Father" went to Italy, Miki Esaki was found to be pregnant and soon received "special care" from the Esaki family.
She was not allowed to abort the child.
The reason is also very simple. At that time, the only child left in the Esaki family was "father". After he ran away, only the child in Esaki Miki's belly was left.
What's more, before her blind date with her "father", Ezaki Miki came from another family that was equally famous in the Kanto region.
Although the blind date ended like this, the Esaki family had to give each other an explanation before forcing Miki Esaki to stay at home to continue the marriage, and then allow her to give birth to the child.
That is.
My origin.
Esaki Suguha's eyes dimmed a little, and she whispered: "I can't do it even if I want to. I can still work hard at kendo, but I can't compare to my brother in terms of academic and business talents."
"It's not about whether we can beat it or not, it's about whether we can do it or not."
Esaki Miki's expression became even more distorted.
"It's because you are half similar to that scumbag that you have such a character of having fun and not caring about your family business."
"I didn't have fun. I studied very hard every day."
"lie."
Ezaki Miki retorted loudly: "How could anyone be as stupid as you?"
"."
Esaki Suguha closed her eyes again.
She knew that it was enough to just be a dummy at this time, and her mother was very upset about her inability to achieve good grades in school.
Because in this way, as a daughter, she would be even less able to inherit the position of head of the Esaki family.
It will also make the matter of Ezaki Miki being forced to stay and "take care of" seem like a joke.
She knew that the other party's situation was not easy.
Her husband had escaped, her husband's family had imprisoned her, and her natal family was now estranged from her.
And the biggest reason is because the girl was born.
It was precisely because she was a girl and could not inherit the Esaki family that other members of the family were disappointed with herself and Esaki Miki, and then ignored them.
And the family that originally planned to rely on Esaki Miki to have further connections with the Esaki family has already given up on her.
It can be said that in a real sense, "no one cares".
"I don't care what you think or do."
Ezaki Miki is still venting her resentment.
"You must work harder in the future. You have to regain that position. Otherwise, what is the point of me?"
She raised her head, glared at Ezaki Suguha fiercely and said, "You are the one who was born to me, so you have the obligation to do as I say."
“What can’t be done just can’t be done.”
Suguha Esaki could only sigh, "I've tried very hard, but... I'm sorry."
She thinks she has done her best, but some things cannot be accomplished through hard work alone.
Hard work will not betray you, but it will betray your ideals.
Is this what you're talking about?
At least, that's what Suguha Ezaki thinks.
What's more, she felt that Naoto Esaki had also put in a lot of effort.
The other person is the one who has the least reason not to inherit the title of head of the family.
Although my grandfather has never shown an obvious attitude, the Esaki family and the group industry controlled by the Esaki family are now well managed by Naoto Esaki from top to bottom.
In terms of talent, the other party is no longer something he can easily catch up with.
Even if we have to take personal ethics as an example, a "brother" who will often watch the activities of his "sister", and an "adopted son" who will often visit his "mother" for his condition.
Even if others see it, You can only praise Naoto Ezaki’s character, right?
"you"
Ezaki Miki seemed to be angry, and her breathing gradually became rapid.
The state of this skinny woman made people worry that she might die suddenly on the spot.
It seems normal. As long as she is arranged to live in the long-term ward of a private hospital, it is not difficult to understand that she actually has some physical or mental problems.
"I, I"
Esaki Miki took two deep breaths, and then stared at Esaki Suguha.
And from his mouth, a chilling word came out.
"It would have been better if I hadn't given birth to you."
