After rebirth, I became Tokyo Sentimental

Chapter 232, Question 231: Don't you have any faults at all?

Takiei and Yutaro clung to Haruno Tsukasa's legs, wailing and crying. Haruno Hagoromo sat blankly to the side, staring at them, seemingly not expecting them to be so shameless, especially since they were wailing and crying their hearts out while clinging to their father's legs, but they didn't manage to squeeze out many tears. At least she herself was genuinely heartbroken and cried.

Yuan Ye Si naturally noticed this as well. Without understanding the whole story, he thought the children were plotting a rebellion, and his face instantly darkened.

Even Haruno Mitsuya, who was originally in Shigeo's arms, was released and crawled towards him on the ground, babbling and using his hands and feet.

However, when Haruno Tsukasa saw that all his family members were sitting in the living room staring at him, even his mother had been brought over from Shizuoka, he instantly realized the seriousness of the situation. However, they didn't seem to have any intention of speaking first, so after pondering for a moment, he mentally summoned his wish list and went through all the wishes in their hearts. After comparing them, he finally understood what was going on, and at the same time, his eyelids started twitching. He didn't expect the rumors to be so outrageous.

"Yuko, what happened?" Haruno Tsukasa asked helplessly, looking at the person who caused this incident.

Suzumiya Saka's face was as cold as frost, and her eyes were frighteningly dark. Seeing that he was not going to explain and was asking Shimizu Yuko, she couldn't help but shout sharply, "You don't need to ask others anymore. It's your turn to tell us what happened!"

The scene fell silent again, even Haruno Taki and Haruno Yutaro's fake crying paused for a moment.

Glancing at his two good-for-nothing sons, Yuan Ye Si broke free from their embrace and pulled a stack of printed wills from his briefcase to distribute:
"Everyone's here now. This afternoon, Yuko and I discussed the distribution of my estate after I die. This is my will. I just printed out a few copies. I was planning to wait until the next family gathering to discuss it, but I'm sending them to you now."

As he spoke, he sent the message, and when he sent it to Chiyo Shihouin at the end, he added, "In addition, I am making this will only to clarify my property issues as soon as possible. It has nothing to do with anything else, so please don't overthink it."

Suzumiya Saka didn't waste any words with him and went straight to the point, asking, "You're thinking of taking your own life, aren't you?"

“I didn’t,” Haruno Tsukasa immediately retorted.

Suzumiya Saka slammed the will in her hand onto the coffee table and demanded, "Then why did you make this out of the blue! You just want to shirk responsibility for us and the children, right or wrong!?"

“No.” Haruno Tsukasa looked again at Shimizu Yuko sitting in the corner, sighed, and said, “I think Yuko might have misunderstood me…”

"Don't call me Aunt Yuko anymore!" Fujitani Chizuki suddenly spoke, tears welling up in her cloudy eyes. It was rare for her to lose her temper with him in all these years. "We've only had a few years of good life. Even if you don't consider others, you should at least consider my feelings. I know you might be under a lot of pressure lately, but why choose to escape in that way? Do you really want me to bury my child?"

Compared to Shimizu Yuko, who pays great attention to skincare, Fujitani Chitsubaki has aged noticeably over the past decade.

After all, she is getting old and has no anxiety about her appearance. She still works in the fields regularly, and even if Yuan Ye Si disagrees, she has to find something to do, otherwise her bones will be too old to move.

Seeing that his mother had also been influenced by the three women's exaggerated belief that he was going to commit suicide, Yuan Ye Si suddenly didn't know what to say. He raised his hand and touched his temples helplessly, saying, "Mom, my hair has turned white too."

"I'm not blind, I was just using a metaphor!"

Fujitani Chitsubaki glared angrily and said...

"But I really have no intention of taking my own life."

Harano Tsukasa reiterated this statement.

"Then why make a will? You had a medical check-up a few months ago, and I still have the report. There's nothing wrong with your health." At this moment, Kurosaki Orizuki, who was sitting to the side, suddenly said.

“I’ve already said…” he tried to continue explaining.

"I get it. I think you're trying to use this excuse to force us to accept that you keep bringing in new people, right?"

Suzumiya Saka suddenly interrupted him.

"Huh?" Haruno Tsukasa was stunned.

Slowly rising from the sofa, Suzumiya Saka's face was clouded with gloom. Stepping out from the crowd, she slowly began to analyze his actions: "By making a will, you clarify the assets you currently possess, ensuring that everyone can see the surface benefits to put their minds at ease. Then, having something to rely on, you won't want to ask about you anymore, or even dare to ask about anything you do for fear of upsetting you. This way, your heart, which has been dormant for ten years and is now restless again, can run rampant!"

Haruno Tsukasa glared at him, really wanting to crack open Suzumiya Saka's skull to see what was going on inside lately, that her mind could somehow revert to its peak ten years ago. His face darkened slightly as he said, "You're overthinking it."

“I think what Sasa said makes sense. After all, we just brought one back, and it’s such a coincidence that she’s about to make a will?” After carefully reading the will, Sato Mie took off her glasses and asked with a serious expression, just like a police officer who had just finished investigating a crime scene.

He paused for a moment, then continued:

"Besides, making a will doesn't mean the property is distributed immediately. You still have everything in your hands, so you can spend it however you want. I think it's similar to what Sa Xiang said. You want to use this method to keep us in check so that you can secretly spend money on other women."

After she finished speaking, seemingly to make her words more persuasive, Sato Mie pointed to the will on the coffee table, her expression becoming even more serious:

"And take this will for example."

"Just having a child and getting so much money is faster than robbing a bank. I just want to ask, is this will really fair?"

"Is this your way of deceiving us?"

"Or is this evidence of your bias?"

"please answer me!"

Seeing Sato Mie's detective-like demeanor, as if she had solved a case on the spot, Harano Tsukasa felt an urge to punch her nose into her brain. His face darkened completely, and he said with a hint of anger in his voice:
"Let me reiterate, I am not lying, and I have no intention of committing suicide. As for what you just said about the will being just a pretext, I can now transfer my assets to you according to the will."

"So you think you're right?"

Sato Mie snorted and retorted.

"You're overthinking it."

Haruno Tsukasa said expressionlessly.

"Are we overthinking this? Putting aside the facts, don't you have any faults at all?" Suzumiya Saka said.

"What's the point of talking if we ignore the facts?"

Haruno Tsukasa retorted without any politeness.

“You…” Suzumiya Saka’s face turned pale with anger, and she gritted her teeth and said directly, “I’m going home.”

She turned around abruptly and went upstairs. Sato Mie, who was sitting on the sofa, hesitated for a moment when she saw this. She remembered the agreement they had made verbally before Haruno Tsukasa came home. She glanced at Haruno Tsukasa, who was expressionless. In her heart, she was more inclined to believe that Shimizu Yuko had misunderstood. However, after thinking it over, she felt that it was better not to break the alliance for the time being.

"I'm going home too," she said as she stood up.

This answer had a deeper meaning, and not only Haruno Tsukasa understood it, but everyone else present also understood it.

After all, this is home.

They also wanted to go home.

That definitely means she wants to go back to her parents' home.

Sure enough, as if they had been prepared, less than two minutes later, Suzumiya Saka and Sato Mie came downstairs carrying large bags and small packages. They brushed past Harano Tsukasa without giving him another glance, causing the atmosphere in the living room to instantly drop to freezing point.

"Sigh." Fujitani Chitsubaki sighed.

"Brother Si..." Seeing her son, who had just climbed halfway up and then rolled over, Shizuka Yuki couldn't help but softly call out to Haruno Si as a reminder.

"I really have no such plans."

Haruno Tsukasa sighed slightly and explained.

Shizue Shizuka now believed it, but after glancing at Suzumiya Saka and Sato Mie who had already walked out of the villa, she couldn't help but ask, "What about Saka-nee and the others..."

"It's okay, I'll go out and see. Maybe they're just trying to scare me and are waiting for me to go find them."

Haruno Tsukasa offered a word of comfort.

Then he looked at Shimizu Yuko. At this moment, Shimizu Yuko could clearly see that Haruno Tsukasa's discussion with her about how to make a will during the day was probably just the literal meaning of the words, without any self-destructive thoughts of wanting to commit suicide. However, when she thought about how she had misinformed the family, causing them to worry so much, and how Suzumiya Saka and Sato Mie were about to run away from home, she suddenly felt numb.

"It's nothing, it's not a big deal." Yuan Ye Si couldn't blame her for this, after all, she was worried about him, so he could only say this helplessly. He comforted his mother and the others, kicked away his two sons who were blocking his way on the ground, and told them to go back to do their homework, since they hadn't shed a single tear yet. Only then did he push open the door and chase after them.

Meanwhile, the two people on the other side had already gotten into the car.

Sato Mie glanced at Suzumiya Saka, who was focused on driving, and after a moment of silence, she couldn't help but speak up to remind him, "Saka, I don't think Haruno was lying. He really didn't have any suicidal thoughts. Maybe we really misunderstood him. If we just go back like this, wouldn't it be too hurtful to him?"

"So you're admitting we were wrong?"

Suzumiya Saka asked back without looking at him.

“How could we be wrong?” Sato Mie denied it outright, and said seriously, “If there is any mistake, it is that his behavior is too deceptive.”

"Shouldn't he have come out and chased after us?"

Suzumiya Saka asked another question.

Sato Mie nodded upon hearing this, but the next moment she tugged at her seatbelt and glanced to her right. A few seconds later, she asked hesitantly, "But you're almost going 80 miles per hour now, can he catch up with us?"

Suzumiya Saka lifted her foot off the gas pedal.

The car's speed gradually decreased.

It didn't stop until it dropped to 40 yards.

Then silence fell.

It's a well-known fact that Haruno Tsukasa drives fast, or rather, men tend to drive fast. Based on their impression of Haruno Tsukasa, in this villa area where it's practically impossible for a ghost to suddenly appear, he could drive at least 70 or 80 km/h. So if the two of them drove a little slower, he could catch up in a few minutes.

Three minutes passed.

Five minutes passed.

Fifteen minutes passed.

Suzumiya Saka had almost fully released the accelerator, which was already halfway down the pedal, and the car was crawling along at a speed of ten miles per hour. They were almost out of the villa, but there wasn't a single car in the rearview mirror. Even she, who was usually very composed, was starting to get impatient.

"Would you like to go back and take a look?"

"I was just about to say that."

"If he's still at home and has no intention of coming out, how are we supposed to explain that?"

"Just say you forgot something."

"what?"

"Shampoo, yes, shampoo."

"it is good."

Suzumiya Saka immediately turned on her turn signal, made a U-turn, and floored the accelerator. The tires rubbed against the road surface with tremendous force, producing thick white smoke.

However, when they returned home five minutes later, they only saw Shiori Shizuka cleaning up the mess in the living room.

After exchanging a glance with Suzumiya Saka, Sato Mie quickly went upstairs and deliberately told Kurosaki Orizuki, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, that she had forgotten to take her shampoo, while Suzumiya Saka sat down.

"Saka-nee...why are you back?"

"Sato forgot something."

"Oh...didn't you see Brother Si?"

"I didn't see it, what's wrong?"

"Brother Si clearly went to look for you guys just now."

"Oh," hearing that Haruno Tsukasa had indeed gone out to look for them, Suzumiya Saka's anger subsided, and she wanted to hurry out to see where that bastard had gone, but Sato Mie was still lingering upstairs and hadn't come down. After waiting for half a minute, she couldn't help but ask, "How did he get there?"

"Let's go, I don't think I drove." Chong Zhixi thought carefully for a moment and said with some uncertainty.

Suzumiya Saka nodded expressionlessly.

After Sato Mie came downstairs with the half-empty bottle of shampoo, she quickly gave her a look.

The latter immediately understood.

After the two got back into Suzumiya Saka's Porsche, Sato Mie casually tossed aside the half-empty bottle of shampoo and asked, "What happened?"

"He's come out looking for us." Suzumiya Saika quickly started the car and drove back in the direction they had come from.

"They've been looking for us, so why haven't we seen the car?"

"walk."

"Walking? Are you deliberately avoiding finding it?"

"I think so."

“Then why are we wasting our time with him…” Sato Mie hadn’t finished speaking when she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure by the artificial lake in the distance out of the corner of her eye. She quickly asked, “Is that him?”

Suzumiya Saka slowed down and looked in the direction Sato Mie pointed. She saw a figure standing motionless with his back to them by the artificial lake. She frowned and nodded, saying, "It's him."

"What's that bastard doing standing by the lake?"

"do not know."

"Is he planning to jump into the lake?"

"this…"

What's he shaking about?!

"Let's get there quickly!"

Suzumiya Saka's mind went blank. She slammed on the gas and sped off, driving right over the lawn and stopping abruptly beside the artificial lake.

The tires were making a loud, grating noise.

However, when Haruno Tsukasa, who had drunk too much water in the afternoon and went out to chase after Ryoumiya Saka and Sato Mie, had only taken a few steps when he suddenly needed to urinate, he pulled up his pants and felt two gusts of wind rushing towards him from behind. Then he was tackled to the ground, and he couldn't even zip up his pants.

"You bastard, are you trying to scare us to death?!"

"You want to die, huh!"

"Then let's die together!"
