"Please take Miss Toyokawa and Miss Wakaba home."

"Yes, Master."

The man in black raised his hand and led the way:

"Ladies, please follow me."

Toyokawa Shoko opened her eyes, took two deep breaths, and followed the man in black out. However, she stopped at the corner and looked at Genmaki Yui and said:

"Mr. Xianjuan... I think you rarely respect the fate of others."

Genjumaki Yui watched Toyokawa Shoko and Wakaba Mutsu leave without replying her. After waiting for a while, she returned to the morgue where Su Shi was.

Hearing the sound of the door opening behind him, Su Shi said without turning his head:

"Thank you for your hard work, Wei."

"Nothing... Xiangzi is just like that. He shines brightly when the wind is blowing in his favor, but feels awkward when the wind is blowing against him."

"What are your plans regarding my father?"

"Although some preservation measures have been taken, it's best to bury the body as soon as possible. I've had someone send out invitations to the funeral through his social network. The time is set for tomorrow. I wonder if Su Shi is able to take time off? If Su Shi feels that time is tight or there are other people he wants to invite, we can postpone it."

"Tomorrow... Then let's arrange it this way. I just haven't seen my father in a long time, so I'm a little sad. There's no need to drag it out too long."

Su Shi put his hand on the coffin lid and said softly:

"Over the years, my father's influence on my life has been no different from if he had passed away. But when he really needed me to see him for the last time, I couldn't help but hope that he had lived a good life."

"Classmate Wei, you've been very busy today. I even sent your mother home to rest. Please go home and rest as soon as possible. I just asked the funeral home, and I'm sure you'll have to trouble me with your father's funeral tomorrow."

Xianjuan Wei shook her head and looked at Nagasaki Suyo's profile and said:

"Are you going to stay here all night, Sushi-san?"

"Well, it's the last night. I can still hold on. I've also asked for leave from Yue Zhisen."

"Then I'll stay here for one night too. My body can definitely hold up better than yours. Even if the funeral home is really haunted or something, I'll be there to help negotiate, so Su Shi-san doesn't have to worry."

"Haha... Wei-san is quite humorous."

"I'm not kidding... The ghosts I know are really easy to get along with."

Xianjuan Wei stood beside Su Shi, chatting with her to boost her spirits.

I spent more than an hour with her on and off, and then there was another strange noise coming from the morgue door.

Genjumaki Wei looked back and saw a figure with long green hair, also wearing the Tsuki no Mori school uniform, walking towards them in small steps.

"Xiao Mu?"

Nagasaki Motoyo's surprised voice was almost reaching the point of shock.

"Su Shi, Weijun..."

Ruoye Mu looked at the two of them, lowered his head and said:

"I'm afraid of saying the wrong thing when trying to comfort Sushi."

"So, I can only think of coming to accompany you."

"Yue Zhisen, I've asked for leave."

Chapter 133 The Awakening of a Daughter Paying Her Father's Debt

From the funeral home to the shared villa, after sending Xiangzi home, he sneaked back by himself. This was Ruoye Mu's escape route.

Although it was just an intuition, Ruo Yemu felt that... he should not miss an occasion like tonight.

If you think normally, even if they are a young man and woman, considering that they are together in a funeral home, it is impossible for anything excessive to happen.

Not to mention that Su Shi's father's body is right in the room, so it should be very safe anyway.

But Ruo Yemu felt a sense of inexplicable uneasiness that he could hardly describe.

Also, Su Shi must be in need of comfort and company right now... Ruo Yemu felt that if Xian Juanwei didn't go home tonight, he should come and accompany them.

After all, Su Shi is already pitiful.

Her mother had no time to accompany her, and her father died unexpectedly.

Even Xianghe Wei was beaten to the punch by me.

I have already won too much, so... I should give more of the excess energy to Su Shi to warm her up.

"I'm here... to keep Su Shi company."

After saying that, Ruoye Mu handed the umbrella in her hand, which was still wet with raindrops, to the man in black who had just sent her all the way back and then sent her back again, and walked to Nagasaki Suye with her hands tangled.

"I'll stay with you."

Nagasaki Motoyo listened to what Wakaba Mu said in a low voice, and seeing her seeming a little restrained and uneasy, she sighed softly, looked at her former teammate who had returned, and shook her head with an indescribable feeling in her heart.

"Xiao Mu, you... it's unnecessary. I'm already very grateful that you came to see my father. If you don't get a good rest tonight, you'll be very tired tomorrow."

"If Sushi goes home... then I will go back too."

Nagasaki Suyo looked at Wakaba Mutsu, who was standing beside her with his head down, with a complicated look, as if he was standing there just for the sake of standing there.

Xiao Mu, has our relationship become so good?

Are you worried about me, or are you worried about me?

I really can't read your thoughts.

Xianjuan Wei looked at Ruoye Mu's profile. She was a little surprised by her actions. In order to make the atmosphere in the morgue less cold, she talked to Su Shi about her childhood.

There was no way. After all, Xiao Mu couldn't be counted on to ease the atmosphere or chat to pass the time - if she took action, it would likely push things in a direction that was counterproductive.

In front of the middle-aged man's coffin, three young men and women stood with their hands behind their backs, chatting about many things he and his daughter had experienced.

----

On the other side, Akabane District, Tokyo.

Xiaoxiang put on the red sportswear she wore when delivering newspapers, which she had kept in storage for over a month, and used her slender legs to pedal an old-fashioned bicycle that didn't even have a gear shift function and was still equipped with a shopping basket.

Xiaoxiang, who hadn't done any high-intensity physical labor for a month, was breathing heavily and gritting her teeth as she drove past the convenience store on the corner where she used to buy discounted near-expiry bento boxes.

Although her income increased due to her job change, the cost of taking a taxi from her shared apartment to the rental house where she had wasted a whole year still made her feel extremely distressed.

I was so heartbroken that I would rather summon the newspaper delivery car again.

"Asshole dad...you're not the only one who's been harmed."

After parking and locking the bicycle downstairs at the rental house, Shoko Toyokawa looked towards the window on the second floor of the rental house with a sharp look.

In the blind spot of Toyokawa Shoko's vision, a man in black holding a telescope on the commanding heights was observing the environment around Toyokawa Shoko to see if there were any sources of danger, and was ready to alert the sniper on duty at any time.

Being instructed by the young master of the Genjumaki family to protect (supervise) (watch) something like this would really ruin the atmosphere if the person involved found out.

If Toyokawa Shoko made a request to Genmaki Yui or the secretary of the office, a car from the Genmaki family would soon come and take her to her destination.

But Shoko Toyokawa would never take advantage of the benefits enjoyed by ordinary employees of the company other than in situations other than commuting, so she once again experienced the feeling of riding a female rider at night.

After exiting the navigation software on her phone and turning off the GPS to save power, Shoko Toyokawa swallowed her saliva at the dark staircase in front of her, and then overcame her slight uneasiness about the darkness and walked upstairs.

He took out the key and opened the door. To Xiangzi's surprise, there was a faint light coming through the other side of the glass of the sliding door.

It looks like the screen light of a cell phone.

Shoko Toyokawa was a little surprised that her father was not sleeping drunk at this time.

Before Xiangzi could change into slippers, the man in the house seemed to be disturbed by the sound of the key opening the door, and the sound of a cell phone falling to the ground was heard in the bedroom.

"Xiangzi, is that Xiangzi?!"

Shoko Toyokawa's face turned serious and she walked slowly towards the bedroom separated by a door with a stern face.

On the rooftop of a building outside, a sniper in black looked at the man's frantic climb up figure through the thermal imaging scope. After thinking for a moment, he aimed his gun at the man's legs for safety reasons.

Inside the rental house, when Shoko Toyokawa heard her father's voice, her eyebrows raised slightly, and she took a deep breath while maintaining her stern demeanor - although she was wearing a cheap red sportswear, she still seemed like the most capable eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family.

Opening the bedroom door, Xiangzi looked at his father, whose beard was unshaven, whose eyes were cloudy and slightly red, and at the approximately 20 cans of beer on the floor, and said in a deep voice:

"It's me. I'm relieved to see that you look okay, father."

"Xiangzi...you've only come back once in a few days. Have you...gotten another job and have enough money to rent another house? Are you...giving up on me?"

Toyokawa Shoko squeezed the door frame with her fingers, applying a little more force.

"Thanks to your education, I found a less stressful job that allowed me to use my knowledge and skills in exchange for compensation."

"Also, I'm just moving out temporarily for a quieter environment. I've been helping you keep the house clean these days, so don't say I've given up on you."

"Today, I'm here to suggest that you face your past like a man."

"Mr. Ichinose, was he your former subordinate? He resigned after being implicated in the fraud case and suffered many setbacks in life. He has unfortunately passed away. His funeral is scheduled for tomorrow."

Hearing his daughter's somewhat cold voice, Fengchuan Qinggao lowered his head and took out the letter that he had casually scattered next to his pillow.

"Even Xiangzi, are you involved?... In fact, I have received this funeral invitation in the name of the Nagasaki family today."

"Oh, it seems that I don't need to elaborate on more details?" Shoko Toyokawa stared at the letter.

The Nagasaki family? The Nagasaki family wasn't so omnipotent that they could find their father, who had been in seclusion, and send him a letter that very day.

Did Xianjuan-kun even take the trouble to invite people to the funeral?

"Father, what has happened in the past cannot be changed. In this case, I hope you can use this as a starting point to cheer up and bravely face everything that has happened. Then we will work together to help you make a comeback and gain grandfather's recognition."

"I believe that your sincerity, the quality that your mother admires, is essential for success. A sincere person must first be sincere to themselves. Whether it's success or a past that you find difficult to look back on, you must face it honestly and shoulder your responsibilities."

"Sincerely..." Fengchuan Qingjiao gritted his teeth, making his face look a little ferocious.

The invitation letter in his hand was about to be crumpled into a ball of waste paper. Toyokawa Kiyoshi slammed the ball of paper to the ground and used the tatami to rub it hard until it was torn into pieces.

"Enough! What sincerity, what responsibility!"

"It was because of my sincerity and trust in the goodwill of the group that came to buy the land, and my belief that business should be based on trust in each other's sincerity and goodwill, that I hurriedly arranged the payment!"

"It is precisely because of responsibility and facing the criticism from others that I resigned and took responsibility for being defrauded!"

"My sincerity, my responsibility, in the end, what did I get in return..."

Toyokawa Kiyoshi covered his face, trying hard not to cry in front of his daughter.

"Father, you..."

"Stop talking! Xiangzi! I've already resigned to protect the people below me. What else do you want me to do to them?"

Toyokawa Kiyoshi pounded the crumpled letter with his fist:

"I did everything I could, but the person who replaced me wouldn't let them go. What can I do? Can you blame me if Ichinose is unhappy?"

"I've done everything I could! I won't be going to Ichinose's funeral!"

"Don't tell me again that Ruihui praised my sincerity. I was harmed by that sincerity. Xiangzi... A loser like me doesn't deserve such an outstanding daughter like you. When I think of my current state, I feel so disgusted..."

Toyokawa Shoko's pupils trembled violently, and she bit her lips to suppress the sound that was about to come out of her throat.

Stepping forward and snatching the crumpled letter, Toyokawa Shoko turned around, facing Toyokawa Kiyoshi, and said slowly in a heavy voice:

"Don't give up on yourself, father... Mother and I are waiting for you..."

"Don't worry, since you don't want to take that responsibility, I'll do it for you..."

"A daughter must pay her father's debt. I'm aware and prepared for this, but I want to see a father who will be motivated by my efforts."

"besides……"

Toyokawa Shoko walked to the entrance, changed into her sneakers, and shouted in a suppressed voice to Toyokawa Kiyoshi, who was looking down at himself and dejected:

"If you don't even have the quality of sincerity...how do you think you are worthy of being a mother?"

Chapter 134 I Will Raise Your Wife and Daughter

At four o'clock in the morning, in the morgue, the tug-of-war between Nagasaki Suyo and Wakaba Mutsu came to an end.

Although no one said it explicitly, Xian Juanwei felt that after two o'clock in the morning, the two girls beside him seemed to have entered a strange state of silently competing in endurance.

Su Shi just kept looking at his father's remains, while Ruoye Mu stood there as if he was being punished, so much so that his eyelids were trembling and his whole posture was shaky.

Ruoye Mu dozed off in a half-asleep state, staggered and fell a step backward, but fortunately Xianjuan Wei caught him in time.

"Xiao Mu, go and rest first."
