Tokyo, My Childhood Friend is a Ghost Story

Chapter 178 Family scandals should not be aired in public.

The scene shifts to Hanako Yoshimura's house, where Uta Kasaya is driving with Kayanoko in tow, following behind her car towards her home.

Throughout the journey, Jia Yezi, sitting in the passenger seat, kept gazing at him expectantly.

Uta Kassapa was initially very confused about what was wrong with Kayanoko.

It wasn't until the wronged girl took Utakayo's hand and placed it on her lap that Utakayo realized what was happening and smiled indulgently.

"You saw it all along."

Jia Yezi pouted and silently brought her legs together.

"Me too, I want some too!"

Uta Kasyapa pinched her and turned to look ahead.

After driving for about half an hour, we finally arrived at Yoshimura Hanako's house.

As they drove into the parking lot, Uta Kayo gazed at Yoshimura Hanako's estate, her eyes filled with the same bewildered look as Kayako's.

"What's your expression?"

Yoshimura Hanako got out of the car and looked at Uta Kasyapa's blank expression, asking him a question.

"I knew your family was wealthy, but I didn't realize they were this wealthy."

So, I'm the poorest of all my friends.

Upon hearing this, Yoshimura Hanako shrugged, recalling the image of Higashi Mutsu Saburo spending tens of millions of US dollars to buy a wife.

"That should be it. Let's go, I'll take you there."

Led by Yoshimura Hanako, Uta Kasaya followed behind her with Kayako by her side. From a distance, they saw two tall men and women in kimonos standing in front of a villa, waving at them.

"Kashyapa-kun?"

With her eyebrows and eyes somewhat resembling those of Yoshimura Hanako, the 1.9-meter-tall Yoshimura Yako happily stepped forward to greet Uta Kasyapa.

"Hello Auntie."

"Oh, hello Auntie."

Yoshimura Yako turned to look at Jia Yezi, a hint of surprise flashing across her face. This child, isn't her figure a little too good?
"Hello, Jia Yezi~"

She reached out and patted Jia Yezi's head. Seeing her timid glance at her husband, Yoshimura Yako turned her head and looked at Yoshimura Hideo expressionlessly.

"Either you laugh, or you get out."

Upon hearing this, Hideo Yoshimura was taken aback at first, a look of grievance on his face, and then he forced out a very uncomfortable smile.

"Kashyapa, Gaya, hello."

Yoshimura Hanako looked at her parents and shook her head speechlessly.

"What are you standing there for? Go home!"

Upon hearing this, Yoshimura Yako smiled and looked at the two of them, then familiarly took Jia Yezi's hand.

"Don't be nervous, this is your home."

Jia Yezi didn't speak, but subconsciously looked timidly at Utakayo.

Upon seeing this, Fangcun Yazi felt a surge of pity.

Yoshimura Hanako had already told her about Jia Yezi's situation. Yoshimura Yako had wanted to meet this child with a tragic background more than once.

I finally met him today, and he truly is a well-behaved child that makes you want to love him from the bottom of your heart.

"It's alright, don't be nervous. Auntie isn't just being polite. Aunties, thank you so much for saving my girl."

Yoshimura Yako's voice was very gentle, which made Kayoko relax a little. Yoshimura Hideo, who was standing next to her, nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

"Yes, thank you very much! I've been wanting Yaya to invite you over, but she either doesn't have the time or the opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Yoshimura Hanako spoke up helplessly.

"Mahayana and Jamyang also have their own things to do."

With a weak explanation, and guided by the servants, the group arrived at the villa's dining room.

Upon entering the restaurant, Jia Yezi's eyes were immediately drawn to the dazzling array of dishes on the table. Seeing this, Fangcun Yazi smiled slightly, quickly picked up her chopsticks, scooped up some tuna sashimi, and fed it to Jia Yezi.

"Ah~"

Jiayezi didn't speak, but timidly went to Uta Kasyapa's side.

"Kasyapa-kun," Yoshimura Saeko said coquettishly, asking Uta Kasyapa to help her get Kayano to speak. Upon hearing this, Uta Kasyapa smiled and squeezed her hand.

"It's fine."

"Mom, don't scare Jia Yezi, she's easily frightened."

Yoshimura Hanako, speechless, was about to step forward when, just as she was about to pull her mother back, Kayanoko hesitantly opened her mouth.

"Is it delicious?"

Jia Yezi remained silent, only blinking her eyes wide and blinking rapidly.

Seeing this, Yoshimura Yako smiled happily and pulled her to sit on a chair.

"Eat more if you like it. Come on, tell Auntie what you want to eat and Auntie will get it for you."

Jia Yezi was a little uncomfortable with Fangcun Yazi's enthusiasm and picked up her chopsticks awkwardly. Seeing this, Fangcun Yazi did not interfere, but patiently introduced the dishes on the table to her.

Seeing this, Yoshimura Hanako shook her head helplessly and looked at Uta Kasyapa.

"Please don't be offended, my mom and dad have always wanted to give me a younger brother or sister, but for various reasons it hasn't happened."

Uta Kassapa nodded without asking any further questions.

Just then, Hideo Yoshimura sat down next to Kasyapa Uda and, without saying a word, poured him a full cup of sake.

"Come, Kasyapa, let your uncle toast you!"

"!!"

"No need for me to offer you a toast!"

After a moderate amount of alcohol, Hideo Yoshimura remarked with a touch of melancholy.

"Over the years, we've put in a lot of effort and searched for many people for Hanako, but we never expected that she really wasn't lying."

"Forehead"

Upon hearing this, Yoshimura Hanako began to describe her family's situation while dismantling a king crab for herself.

Simply put, before this, the Yoshimura family was a staunch materialist family with strong martial spirit.

To be honest, it's hard not to be materialistic, given that they're involved in both shooting ranges and arms dealing. It's really difficult to expect a family like that to believe in the supernatural.
Even if I had heard it before, I would have just taken it as boasting from my clients.

I also tried to find many experts for Yoshimura Hanako, but after none of them worked, I became extremely disgusted with so-called supernatural phenomena.

Until this time, until Yoshimura Hanako's sudden recovery, until they saw Hanako again.

"Wait, Hanako, have your aunt and uncle met Hanako yet?"

Yoshimura Hanako nodded, and Hanako behind her shoulder nodded in agreement.

“My own spiritual power was not enough to draw the talisman, so my teacher gave me two, and that’s how they saw Hanako.”

Uta Kassapa glanced at Yoshimura Hideo and his wife with some surprise.

"Uncle and Aunt, aren't you afraid?"

Fangcun Yazi picked up a scallop and put it in Jia Yezi's bowl.

"At first, I was a little hesitant, but fear is relative, especially after learning about what that child went through."

A look of melancholy appeared on Yoshimura Yako's face. Anyone with empathy would feel sad after learning about Hanako's plight.

Uta Kasyapa fell silent upon hearing this; Hanako's experiences were indeed tragic.

"We were truly heartbroken over our daughter, we had even given up hope and were prepared to raise her for the rest of our lives, but we never imagined that she would recover one day."

As Hideo Yoshimura recounted the story in a complicated tone, Yako Yoshimura rolled her eyes.

"Then you got into a fight with your daughter and she knocked you unconscious with two punches."

"???"

"."

Yoshimura Hanako silently covered her forehead.

"Don't wash your dirty linen in public."

"Kasyapa and Jiayezi aren't outsiders. Eat what you want. If you keep nagging, I'll arrange another blind date for you tomorrow. I'll personally make you go!"

"."
