Chapter 17 Sisters meet, eyes full of jealousy

No matter what, admitting your mistakes first is the ultimate skill that Green Tea Girl has used since she was a child.

With those fake tears, he almost never fails.

——On the surface, it seems that she admitted her mistake, but in fact she was retreating to advance, using her gentle and sensible side to highlight her sister's arrogance and tyranny.

Seeing her bitchy look, Matsueda Shinsako felt her chest ache with anger, and gritted her teeth and snorted, "What did you do wrong? From childhood to adulthood, didn't father always say it was my fault? You were just bullied by me, what could you have done wrong?"

"Sister, you are embarrassing me by saying that."

Facing her furious elder sister, the younger sister lowered her eyes and said with a sad expression: "My father is old, my mother is gone, and I always thought that I would depend on you for the rest of my life... But now it seems that my elder sister is probably tired of me. Alas, my elder sister has never liked me, but it is I who has always been self-indulgent and pestered her..."

As she spoke, Tachibana Mihoko raised her head and glanced at her sister cautiously.

Her eyes were slightly red and it looked like tears were about to come out at any moment. After looking at her sister, she immediately lowered her neck in panic.

This fragile look really makes me feel pity for her.

"..."

Shinsako Matsueda opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but her throat was blocked by something.

She really hated her sister's bitchy nature, but she was very straightforward and had no idea how to fight back. She could only hold her anger in, and the pain in her chest became more and more uncomfortable.

Seeing her unable to resist, Tachibana Mihoko felt even happier and continued to speak in a sarcastic tone, "I didn't want to say more about your family affairs. After all, if I said too much, it would make me look petty. But if I didn't say anything, I would feel very depressed. I strongly recommended Junxiong to be your son-in-law, and I was very satisfied with him. But why did you choose an outsider without saying a word in the end?"

Shinsako Matsueda didn't want to explain this matter.

Firstly, it was her daughter who made the decision, not her as the mistress, and she felt it would be embarrassing to tell others about it.

Secondly, who to choose is the Matsueda family's family affair, and it is not the place for the women of the Tachibana family to comment.

Seeing that her sister didn't say anything, Tachibana Mihoko raised her eyebrows and curled the corners of her mouth in contempt: "I guess with your vision, the man you chose must be one in a million, and he should be many levels better than Junxiong. I came here this time just to see him, why did you hide him and not let me see him?"

"He's out." Matsueda Shinsako said calmly.

She knew that her sister came here to cause trouble for Kiyoaki Matsueda, so she was very foresighted and kicked Kiyoaki Matsueda out of the house long ago.

But she didn't expect that her sister said she was supposed to come at noon, but she didn't arrive until the evening. It was dark not long after she sat down... Now she just hopes Qingxian won't come back so soon.

Masako Matsueda thought so in her heart, but unfortunately things went against her wishes.

"Oh, if you don't want me to see you, just tell me directly." Tachibana Mihoko's tone became more sarcastic and sarcastic. "I'm usually very straightforward, but now you keep making excuses to avoid it. It makes me look like I'm pushing you to the limit. If outsiders see this, won't they stab me in the back and scold me for being unreasonable? If that's the case, I'd better just ignore me."

Songzhi Qingxian stood at the door. Before he walked in, he could smell the fragrance of tea in the room.

What a strong green tea.

A straightforward old lady like Masako would never be able to deal with a scheming bitch.

Kiyoaki Matsueda looked for a while and then walked in.

In the living room, Matsueda Shinsako, who was looking outside, was the first to notice him and quickly signaled him to hide away.

But Song Zhiqing showed his rebellious nature.

"I'm back." He walked straight into the living room.

"Eh?"

Tachibana Mihoko turned around instantly.

"Oh, is it my aunt?" Songzhi Qingxian nodded, "Good evening, aunt."

"What aunt? Do you think you can call her aunt? We are not familiar with each other!" Tachibana Mihoko's face suddenly became long.

Kiyoaki Matsueda didn't say anything, but just stood silently behind Masako.

"You've seen the person, it's time to go back." Matsueda Shinsako immediately ordered them to leave.

Her idea was very simple. No matter how useless Matsueda Kiyoaki was, he was still a member of her Matsueda family. Only she could scold him, and no one else could point fingers at him.

Mihoko Tachibana ignored him and looked Kiyoaki Matsueda up and down. "What do you do?" she asked.

"I write books."

"Hahaha~"

Tachibana Mihoko couldn't help but laugh. She turned her eyes towards her sister, opened her red lips slightly, and said sarcastically: "Toshio is also a writer, he is also a writer. My sister chose him, does it mean that he writes better than Toshio?"

"I like him more." Matsueda Shinsako said lightly.

"Sis, now that you've said that, I understand." Tachibana Mihoko looked at Matsueda Kiyoaki and studied his face. "So you're just a pretty-faced guy, and I took him home to show him off."

Matsueda Kiyoaki did not refute and replied calmly: "I am indeed good-looking."

"..."

This time, Tachibana Mihoko was in a state of confusion.

"Also, my book is well written." Matsueda Kiyoaki added, "I submitted it for the New Wave Award, so you can keep an eye out for it then."

"Okay, stop talking. Kiyoaki, go cook." Matsueda Shinsako interrupted his boasting, and then ordered her sister to leave. "It's already dark, I won't keep you for dinner, go back quickly."

"I asked Junxiong to pick me up. He will be here soon." Tachibana Mihoko stood up, glanced at Matsueda Kiyoaki for a few seconds, and then returned her gaze to her sister. "Father will hold a family dinner on the seventh of next month. Sister, remember to bring your son-in-law back to show him."

"It depends on the situation." Matsueda Shinsako responded perfunctorily.

The seventh of next month is Japan's Tanabata Festival, and many large families will hold family dinners on this day.

At the same time, it is also the day when the winning works of the New Trend Award are announced.

Based on what Masako Matsueda knew about her sister, she would definitely bring Toshio Tachibana that day. If she brought Kiyoaki Matsueda with her, he would inevitably be ridiculed.

"I will be very disappointed if my sister can't come." Tachibana Mihoko's eyes were full of mockery.

Matsueda Shinsako looked up and stared at her.

The two sisters' eyes met in the air, and there was a faint smell of tension.

"Aunt, I'm here to pick you up."

A man's voice was heard outside the living room, and the footsteps were getting closer.

A moment later, the man walked in.

He is tall and strong, looks capable and good-looking. He wears a well-tailored suit, and his words and actions are full of the confidence of a superior. He exudes the aura of a so-called "successful man".

Seeing Songzhi Qingxian in the room, his eyes flickered and he said, "Hey, you're here too."

Matsueda Kiyoaki didn't know him and was about to say hello with a smile, but Masako suddenly reached out and tugged at the corner of his clothes, whispering, "He is Tachibana Toshio, and he was the one who knocked you out that day. Don't make any noise, go and cook, leave this to me..."

There seems to be an element of protection in Shinsako's behavior.

"Oh, hello." Songzhi Qingxian looked normal.

His calm and natural look made Tachibana Toshio stunned for a moment. After a moment, he pretended to smile apologetically: "I heard that you were beaten up and have some amnesia? I'm really sorry. I was there that day, but I left early because of something. I couldn't stop the violence. I have been feeling guilty these days. On the 7th of next month..."

"I'll be there."

"You're coming... huh?"

The other three people in the living room were stunned.

Tachibana Toshio looked at him with some suspicion, as if he didn't understand his train of thought, but he still laughed in the end.

Because of his failed marriage with Matsueda Kiyoyuki, he had always been jealous of Matsueda Kiyoaki, and he felt that the opportunity for revenge had come.

On the sofa, Matsueda Shinsako's brows were furrowed and her chest was rising and falling because she was dissatisfied with his self-assertion.
