Ke Xue Bartender

Chapter 162: Family love deteriorates
"Grandpa, I like Xia Jiang. Please allow me to marry Sister Xia Jiang."

Snapped!
A loud slap in the face.

"Asshole! What nonsense are you talking about! She is your sister!"

"It's my cousin! My parents are cousins, they can get married, why can't Sister Xia Jiang and I?"

"That's why a useless thing like you was born. This is impossible. Get out of here now!"

……

"Today, I want to announce a good news to you all."

"I have decided to take Xiao Wu as my son-in-law."

"Xiao Wu, from today on, you will be called Xia Ben Wu. Be good to Xia Jiang, and I will not treat you unfairly."

In a corner of the engagement party, Ichiro Uzumoto clenched his fists, a pair of happy figures were reflected in his bloodshot right eye, and his body trembled slightly.

He had liked Xia Jiang for a long time, but he never had the courage to confess his feelings to her.

It was not until the young and handsome Xiao Wu appeared beside her and the two of them got closer that he developed a strong sense of crisis.

If this continues, Sister Xia Jiang will be snatched away by someone else.

So he plucked up the courage to ask his strict grandfather to allow him to marry Sister Xia Jiang.

Unexpectedly, he was rejected sternly and humiliated.

The seeds of anger and jealousy are thus planted in the heart and may burst out at any time.

Lin Ye regained consciousness and looked at Ichiro Yamoto who was already drunk in front of the bar, and shook his head slightly.

At this moment he saw another horrifying scene.

Ichiro Uzumoto was holding a sharp knife and stabbing an old man with a ferocious look on his face.

This old man was none other than Musashi Yasumoto whom Lin Ye had just seen in his memory, his grandfather!

The old man fell down in disbelief, probably not expecting that his own grandson would stab him.

After seeing this scene, Lin Ye was silent for a long time.

The harsh family environment, rough educational methods, and forbidden love gave birth to a sick soul and led to the tragedy of relatives killing each other.

"Grandpa Ochiai, I wish my grandpa was as kind as you." The drunk Ichiro Uzumoto murmured.

He likes art, and Director Ochiai is the director of the art museum, so the two of them get along very well.

"Silly child, how can I compare to your own grandfather?" Director Ochiai sighed.

"You don't understand. My grandfather is a tyrant. I like painting, but he belittled me and said I was worthless. I like Xia Jiang, but he said I was a toad wanting to eat swan meat! How hateful!"

Ichiro Uzumoto clenched his fists and slammed them on the bar in anger.

Director Ochiai remained silent, not knowing how to persuade this young man who was so angry at his own grandfather.

Even Lin Ye found it tricky.

Judging from Ichiro Usamoto's recollections, Musashi Usamoto was indeed an old man with a bad temper.

It really feels bad when dreams are trampled on and love is not allowed.

But Ichiro Yasumoto's approach was too extreme.

A harsh family environment, long-term suppression of one's own emotions, and the development of a paranoid personality will cause such a person to go completely crazy once he explodes.

A paranoid person cannot be changed by just a few words.

Even if they change temporarily, when they return to that high-pressure environment, they will return to the starting point.

Just when Lin Ye was feeling distressed, the shop door bell rang.

Lin Ye looked towards the door.

It was Takeshi Tsumoto who came yesterday, and he was accompanied by a beautiful lady.

She has long straight black hair, very fair skin and a gentle look.

Lin Ye had seen this face in Ichiro Uemoto's memory. She was Natsue Uemoto, Ichiro Uemoto's cousin and Takeshi Uemoto's fiancée.

Takeshi Yamoto said yesterday that he would bring her here, and he really brought her here today.

"Isn't this Ichiro? Why is he so drunk?"

Natsue Usamoto soon spotted Ichiro Usamoto in front of the bar. He was surprised to see him lying on the bar drunk.

[Ichiro doesn't drink, does he? How could he be so drunk...]

"Xia, Sister Xia Jiang!"

Hearing Usumoto Natsue's voice, Usumoto Ichiro opened his eyes and saw Usumoto Natsue standing in front of him. Tears quickly welled up in his right eye.

Uzumoto Natsue sat down next to her cousin, and Uzumoto Takeshi also sat next to her.

"Ichiro, did something happen to you? Why did you come here to drink alone?" Uzumoto Natsue asked softly.

"Because Sister Xia Jiang is getting married." Ichiro Usamoto looked straight at Xia Jiang's beautiful face and completely ignored Takeshi Usamoto who was sitting next to her.

Xia Jiang said with a smile: "So you are jealous of your brother Xiaowu, but sooner or later, I will marry someone. Even if I don't marry Xiaowu, I will marry Dawu or something. Do you want me to be unmarried for the rest of my life?"

Seeing Usamoto Natsue's smile, Usamoto Ichiro felt a fire burning in his chest.

Under the influence of alcohol, he planned to say what he had always wanted to say but didn't dare to say.

"Sister Xia Jiang, actually I——"

"Xiao Wu!" Yumoto Xiajiang suddenly turned his head and smiled at his fiancé:
"My brother seems very dissatisfied with you, you must try your best to perform well. Otherwise, Ichiro will stand up for me."

Takeshi Uzumoto scratched his head and smiled, "Of course. Ichiro, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of your sister."

Ichiro Uzumoto clenched his teeth, feeling like something was about to burst out of his body.

"Ichiro, you look very uncomfortable. Are you okay?" Seeing Ichiro's face, Natsue Uzumoto asked with concern.

Ichiro Yamoto shook his head silently.

"Let your brother Xiao Wu take you back. Give him a chance to perform."

"No need, I can go back by myself." Ichiro Uemoto stood up and staggered towards the door. His back looked stubborn and lonely.

Even after being burned by flames and diluted by ice water, the absinthe was still too strong for him, a first-time drinker.

"Xiao Wu." Tsunamoto Natsue looked at Tsunamoto Takeshi with a request in his eyes.

Takeshi Yamoto immediately understood.

"I'll come back to see you after I send Ichiro back. Wait for me."

Xia Jiang nodded gently: "Well, I'll wait for you."

Before Takeshi Yamoto could even sit down, he left the bar and chased after him.

Xia Jiang Yuben withdrew his gaze with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Ms. Xia Jiang knows about this, right?" Lin Ye said, "Mr. Yilang's feelings for you."

Uzumoto Xiajiang raised his head in surprise, glanced at him, then nodded and sighed:
"As an outsider, you can see it. How could I, as your sister, not know it?"

"When did you discover it?"

A trace of memory flashed in Uzumoto Natsue's eyes: "Ichiro has been very close to me since he was a child. Later, when he started to learn painting, he always used me as a subject for practice painting."

"I don't know when his feelings towards me began to change. Before that incident, I always thought he only treated me with brotherly affection."

"I was too slow. I wish I had discovered it earlier."

Xia Jiang lowered his head, a look of self-blame in his eyes.

Lin Ye really wanted to ask what that thing was, but he held back.

After a moment of silence, Xia Jiang raised his head and looked at him, smiling:

"Xiao Wu said you are a great bartender and told me to come and try you. Can you recommend a drink for me?"
