Tokyo: The life of a literary giant begins with home self-defense!

Chapter 270: The father-in-law who killed

The dim street lights were shattered by the accumulated water on the ground. When Longchuan Che walked out of the door carrying his lunch box, a middle-aged man in a black suit was smoking outside.

He has an ordinary appearance, but he looks quite majestic when standing there.

"Growing up in Yamanakako, didn't anyone teach you to greet your elders when you see them?"

The gray mist gathered into dark clouds. When Ryukawa Toru walked past him sideways, Imamura Yukawa spoke indifferently.

He had already started walking, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, so he turned back halfway.

He really didn't expect that his precious daughter would cheat on him for a wild boy, and Imamura Yukawa's tone was a bit unfriendly.

He walked past the other person and had no intention of paying any attention to the Minister of Education.

It was a bit embarrassing to sneak into the other party’s daughter’s house before, but now the other party has set a trap for me, so why should I be polite?

"At least you didn't teach me to smoke in public."

Longchuan Che shrugged, his tone calm.

"Or maybe they were begging for help before, but now they are stabbing you in the back."

During the previous Youth Awards, "Slit Tongue" made a lot of noise, but it was "Youth Trilogy" that diverted the public's attention and suppressed the topic a little.

The other party can call him a farmer and a snake.

Ryukawa Toru didn't know whether the ministers of the Ministry of Education had ever read "Records of the Grand Historian" or "Aesop's Fables".

Imamura Yukawa seemed to be choked. When it comes to talking, he might not be as good as Ryukawa Toru.

"I hope that I will be able to speak out in the face of accusations from other writers in the future."

Imamura Yukawa put out his cigarette on the edge of the corridor.

Because of Kujo Fujitaka's relationship, he couldn't do anything to Ryukawa Toru, but this time in the group portrait award he really gave Ryukawa Toru a big blow.

They committed favoritism and fraud, undermining the fairness of the Group Portrait Award, one of the five major newcomer awards.

I won’t discuss the quality of Ryuukawa Tetsu’s works for now, but his character is definitely far inferior.

It is even normal that this incident will have an impact on his future published works.

Men of letters can be romantic and arrogant, but their attitude towards literature must not be bad.

Already imagining the overwhelming abuse in the next few days, Long Chuan Che sighed.

"You are targeting me like this. I can't guarantee that Xia Zi will have a good life after marrying me."

Imamura Yukawa's face suddenly froze, and Ryukawa Toru saw the other person turning blue and white, which was very interesting.

The other party did all this simply because he didn't want to see his precious daughter marry him. After all, the other party really looked down upon Longchuan Che.

His father's face turned blue with anger, but Longchuan Che was still angry.

Longchuan Che said with a persuasive tone:

"If I were you, I would stop all those dirty tricks so that I can let Xia Zi have a second baby."

"Why the second baby?"

Before Longchuan Che finished speaking, the eldest lady's cold voice came from behind him.

Imamura Natsuko sighed.

"Father, please go back first."

The beautiful girl was leaning against the door. She once told her father that she could beat Longchuan Che on her own, but the other party didn't believe her.

Feeling tired and exhausted all over, and fearing a conflict between the two, the eldest lady pulled Longchuan Che back to her room.

"It seems that my young wife still cares about me more."

The lunch box went out for a stroll and came back, and Longchuan Che casually put it at the entrance.

The eldest lady said nothing and walked to the house on the right to tidy up the bedding.

The girl was wearing an apricot-colored home dress, and her lead-colored long hair was tied into a ponytail with a milky white hairband. The ponytail slapped her slender butterfly bones again and again, and Longchuan Che hesitated for a moment and stepped forward to help.

Although she is a young lady, she is very skilled in doing housework. Longchuan Che slowly held the quilt and watched her tuck in the four corners of the quilt.

The girl lives alone, and this small room is filled with some books and sundries.

Among the books that Ryukawa Toru saw were "The Pillow Book", "Nihonshoki", "The Tale of Genji" and so on. What surprised Ryukawa Toru was that there were also Buddhist scriptures such as "Abhidharmakosha" and "Diamond Sutra" in the girl's room.

"I'm not angry, I just feel bad all of a sudden."

Although Ryukawa Toru didn't say anything, Imamura Natsuko knew what he was thinking.

The girl zipped up the sheets and said:

"My father was trying to help me. I can't blame him. This is very unfair to you. I'm sorry."

Originally, under the reminder of Natsuko Imamura, Ryukawa Toru had to give "Beauty and Sorrow" the most votes in order to get the most attention, but he just walked out of here, and Imamura Yukawa must have realized something.

"Your meeting with Yomiuri Okamoto will be in the newspaper tomorrow."

Natsuko Imamura said with certainty.

"Is being a writer so complicated?" Longchuan Che rolled his eyes.

"It's you who wants to go back to the Kujo family."

Natsuko Imamura put the quilt away and said good night.

As Natsuko Imamura said.

The next day, some newspapers reported that Ryukawa Toru had privately met with the shortlisted authors.

The light mixed with cloudy and rainy sky fell on the apartment building in Hanzomon, and Ryukawa Toru hung up the phone call from Ono Taro who reminded him not to appear in the public eye recently.

"How to say?"

Still in the eldest lady's apartment, Longchuan Che got up lazily and sat down at the mahogany table in the living room when the bread maker popped out some smoked toast.

The toast had a slightly burnt aroma. Longchuan Che took a bite before answering the eldest lady's question.

"Shinchosha and Kodansha have both exploded, and a large number of people want to attack me."

A young writer was already at the center of controversy. In the past, at most his works were attacked, but now that the news came out, Shinchosha and Kodansha were surrounded by people.

"I've become a street rat."

Long Chuan Che sighed. Once this incident happened, he didn't know how much effort it would take to eliminate the impact.

One of the significance of literati is that they can provide warnings and suggestions about social injustice and mistakes, and promote social progress.

There is no need to call Ryukawa Toru a national teacher now. He should be thankful that people still watch his works after the influence of the Group Portrait Award incident.

This time, Imamura Yukawa really hit Ryukawa Toru's sore spot.

"The newspaper only said that you had private communication with Yomiuri Okamoto, but there is no direct evidence of fraud."

I don’t know whether it was fortunate or unfortunate that Longchuan Che did not make any clear promises during the conversation last night.

If the matter had been exposed only after the work was released, it would have been like mud falling into one’s crotch, which would have been shit anyway.

But now there seems to be a little more wiggle room.

"For you, I will continue with my previous suggestion."

Natsuko Imamura wiped her mouth with a tissue.

“Don’t vote for Beauty and Sorrow.”

No matter what Ryukawa Toru talked about with Okatake Yomiuri at the Inaba Club, as long as he didn't choose "Beauty and Sorrow" he could still be labeled as someone who had come to his senses and returned to the right path.

As the sun was shining brightly as we were about to enter mid-May, Longchuan Che nodded to the young lady who had gotten up early.
