Tokyo: Starting with a fake boyfriend

“Mother-in-law, Xiao Nan, you two go back to your room first. I'll talk to him some more.”

Seeing that they were about to repeat a similar conversation, Shiratori Xiu broke his silence and spoke up.

"it is good."

Upon hearing his request, Yamabuki agreed without hesitation, glanced at him, and then took her daughter's hand and left.

"No, don't go, he'll kill me."

Tomoya Yamabuki glanced back at Osamu Shiratori, who was standing behind him. Seeing his expressionless and indifferent face, he felt a chill run down his spine and scrambled to catch up with his wife and daughter.

He just disobeyed Shiratori's request. If they were alone together, who knows what kind of inhumane treatment he would receive.

"???"

Upon hearing this, both Yamabuki and Yamabuki Minami, who had already turned around and were heading towards the room, stopped and turned back in confusion.

Will Shiratori Shuu kill him? What does that mean?

"Why do they have that expression? Don't they know that Shiratori Osamu is from the Hojo family, and that this guy is actually very dangerous?"

Seeing their confused expressions, Tomoya Yamabuki was quite surprised.

No wonder his wife and daughters thought he was a good man; they didn't know Shiratori Osamu's true nature!

"Wife, Xiao Nan, this guy is... mmm..."

The next moment, Yamabuki Satoshi was about to speak without any hesitation.

However, before he could finish speaking, his mouth was covered by Shiratori Xiu's large hand.

"Shiratori-kun?"

Seeing this, both Yamabuki and Yamabuki Minami were curious and didn't understand why he was stopping them.

"You guys go back to your rooms first, I'll explain to you later."

Faced with their questions, Shiratori Osamu did not answer immediately, but simply said...

"Ok."

Although she didn't know what was going on, Yamabuki didn't ask any more questions and chose to believe him.

"No no no!"

Seeing his wife and daughter walk away again, Satoshi Yamabuki struggled frantically, driven by his will to survive.

However, no matter how much he struggled, he could not break free from Shiratori's grip. Instead, because of his disobedience, he was directly pinned to the ground.

"Old man, do you want to die or live?"

At the same time, Shiratori Xiu brought his mouth close to his ear again and spoke in a cold, deep voice.

"..."

Because his words were cold and he was clearly angry, Yamabuki Tomoya immediately became obedient.

As for the answer to this question, he's so young and has so much money, so he'll definitely choose to live.

Seeing that he had become obedient again, Shiratori Xiu looked up and, confirming that his mother-in-law and Konan had returned to their room, spoke in a deep, angry, and icy voice:

"I'm warning you one last time, don't make things too ugly! Just sign the divorce papers, and I can guarantee you'll live. But if you tell Miss Nan and Miss Nan who I am, I guarantee you'll be dead the next second!!"

Upon hearing these cold, oppressive, and murderous words, Yamabuki Tomoya felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and then he froze.

"If I sign the divorce papers, can he guarantee I'll live?"

The reason he went to such lengths to persuade him to stay and admit his mistakes was because he was convinced that he would die if he signed the papers, and he was desperately trying to grasp at any straw. However, this guy's explanation was completely different from his assumption.

"Old man, do you want to guess why Lord Ryoma would have me conceal my identity and sneak into the Yamabuki family to try and facilitate your divorce, instead of tearing you to pieces?"

Although Shiratori Shu, who had pinned him to the ground, couldn't see his expression, he noticed that Shiratori's body trembled, clearly indicating that his mind was wavering, so he continued talking.

"Yes, why?"

Because the incident happened so suddenly, Tomoya Yamabuki hadn't had time to think about it carefully before, but after hearing what he said, he subconsciously started to think about it.

Things are different now, because he is now a father, and given his daughter's recent experience of being deceived by a young man with blond hair, he can, to some extent, take on the role of a father-in-law.

If he were in the father-in-law's seat and saw his son-in-law, who had run off with his daughter, daring to cheat on his wife and hurt his daughter, he would definitely make the scoundrel son-in-law pay a bloody price. That's only human nature.

"Because Lord Ryoma doesn't want to become his granddaughter's father's killer and incur unnecessary resentment. Although you have committed many evils, you are, after all, Miss Nan's biological father."

Before he could figure out the truth, Shiratori Osamu directly told him the answer.

"My father's killer, my biological father..."

As Yamabuki Tomoya pondered these two words, his eyes lit up and his mind began to stir.

Yes, he is Xiao Nan's biological father, bound by blood ties that even his wife's divorce could not sever.

If his father-in-law killed him, then he would become Xiao Nan's father's killer.

So, does that mean he won't die even if he divorces his wife?

Shiratori Shu didn't need to observe his expression; he simply continued speaking to himself:

"Actually, in Lord Ryoma's eyes, your infidelity is nothing serious. After all, it's normal for men to cheat when they have money; it's not a big mistake. Lord Ryoma has only one expectation in this matter: to get his daughter and granddaughter back to the Hojo family."

"But if you refuse to sign the divorce papers, continue down this wrong path, and forcibly expose my identity, causing my mission to fail, then I'll have no choice but to kill you and then commit suicide to atone for my sins."

"Was my attempt to expose his identity just now a death wish?"

Hearing these ninja remarks about mutual destruction, Yamabuki Satoshi was startled, feeling as if he had just walked across the Sanzu River.

"You don't want to die, and I don't want to die... Nobody wants to die, right?"

Although Shiratori Osamu didn't have mind-reading abilities, he could roughly guess his thoughts. Seeing that the time was right, he threw out another question.

"Uh-huh."

When faced with this question, Tomoya Yamabuki nodded without hesitation.

This is a question that doesn't even need to be considered. As long as one can live, who would want to die?

He's worked so hard for so many years and earned so much money, but he hasn't enjoyed it enough yet.

"If you want to live, just sign the divorce papers obediently. It's better for you, better for me, and better for everyone."

Having successfully touched his soul with words, Shiratori gave him one more instruction before releasing his mouth and ceasing his suppression.

If after all he's said, this guy still acts foolishly and insists on revealing his identity, claiming he's from the Hojo family, then he's truly out of options.

Even if Old Deng were to reveal his identity, it wouldn't affect the outcome of the divorce. It would only cause him unnecessary trouble, such as affecting his level of trust in his mother-in-law and Xiao Nan, forcing him to find a way to clarify things.

"If I obediently sign, will I really be able to live?"

Finally free from the suppression, Yamabuki Tomoya took a few deep breaths and turned to look at him, just to be on the safe side, to ask for confirmation again.

He was utterly disappointed in his wife and daughter because even kneeling and kowtowing to apologize had failed to persuade them to stay.

If he could survive without a divorce, he wouldn't actually mind getting one.

After all, he's not the poor boy he used to be anymore. Once he's single again, plenty of women will throw themselves at him, and he could even have two women on his arms.

"As long as you divorce Miss Nan, whether you live or die is completely unimportant to Lord Longma. At most, you're just a nobody. He has no reason to bear the guilt of killing his father and incur Miss Nan's hatred just to get revenge on you."

Faced with his confirmation, Shiratori Osamu showed no change in expression and nodded in affirmation.

Although he couldn't be certain about the outcome of Old Deng's divorce—after all, he wasn't Hojo Ryoma, and had never even met this all-powerful grandfather—he could only speculate from afar.

But one thing is certain: compared to a messy, protracted divorce process that culminates in a family court hearing, Old Deng is definitely more likely to sign the divorce papers directly.

"Won't the divorce agreement leave me with nothing?"

Realizing that he didn't seem to be lying, Tomoya Yamabuki thought of another question.

He struggled for twenty years to finally reach this height, possessing assets of over 40 billion and a high position. If he were to be forced to leave with nothing, he would rather be dead.

“The Hojo family doesn’t need your money, but in order to prevent the young lady from becoming suspicious, you should at least share the minimum amount of the property with her.”

Upon hearing this, Shiratori Osamu gave him a disdainful look.

Feeling his contemptuous gaze, Yamabuki Satoshi gritted his teeth and struggled to stand up.

This guy truly lives up to his reputation as a bastard from the Hojo family. His arrogant and condescending attitude, treating him like trash, is exactly like his father-in-law's.

Arriving at the table, Tomoya Yamabuki picked up the divorce agreement and began to read it.

Although he had never been divorced, he had seen too many contracts to be easily swayed by the terms.

As Shiratori Osamu said, this divorce agreement did not mean he would leave with nothing; rather, it was a significant concession.

The wife's demands were simple, consisting of only two points: a 30% share of the property and custody of their daughter, and she had already signed and affixed her seal to them.

After checking that everything was correct, Yamabuki Satoshi placed the paper on the table, picked up the pen, and raised it to the man's signature area, but suddenly stopped.

"divorce……"

The thought that he would lose his wife and daughter forever once he signed his name made Tomoya Yamabuki waver.

However, when he thought of the argument that had just taken place, and the sight of his wife and daughters seeing him screaming for help while being pinned down, yet still not turning their heads back, he made up his mind and angrily put down his pen.

Let's get a divorce!

A wife and daughter who can't even understand why he cheated on his wife for a 180 billion yuan order, for the company's future, and for a better family—I'd rather not have them!

Chapter 87 Liberation (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"You only hesitated for 10 seconds before signing. You're really something else."

Standing to the side, waiting for Old Deng to sign his name, Shiratori Xiu grabbed the paper on the table and examined it carefully, unable to help but sneer.

Although he had long seen through it, he knew that this old man was a selfish person from beginning to end, otherwise he wouldn't have made the girl suffer with him.

But seeing that this guy, after learning that he could survive after the divorce, didn't even bother to smoke a cigarette or pretend to think, he still found it ironic.

Old Deng probably never truly loved his mother-in-law; at most, he just liked her.

After all, who wouldn't like a woman with stunningly beautiful features, a hot figure, outstanding temperament, gentle and sensible, soft-hearted and easy to coax, who only cares about them, doesn't look down on them for being poor and unambitious, and has an awesome father?

"I've never been divorced, what should I do next?"

Faced with his sarcasm, Yamabuki Satoshi did not retaliate, but simply said coldly.

After making up his mind to sign, his heart was dead, completely corrupted. Now, there was only one thing he wanted to do: to end this mess as soon as possible.

Once this matter is over, he can travel to Hokkaido on business without any worries and continue to expand his business.

Although Osamu Shiratori had never been divorced, let alone in Japan, he had already researched the detailed steps online:

"According to the terms of the agreement, this house belongs to Miss. You can hand over the keys, go back to your room to pack your personal belongings, and leave. Remember to agree with Miss on the time to go to the government office to file for divorce registration tomorrow, and bring the seal and relevant items. As for the execution of the agreement, Miss has already hired a lawyer, who will contact you later. You can handle it yourself or entrust the lawyer to handle it."

Divorce can be difficult or simple, depending on how you look at it. All it takes is for both parties to reach a consensus and sign their names.

However, the biggest challenge is how the couple can reach a consensus.

"Oh."

Realizing that his wife had already hired a lawyer before coming home to file for divorce, Tomoya Yamabuki chuckled, took out his wallet from his pocket, put the keys on the table, and turned to walk into the room.

Seeing him walk away silently, Shiratori Osamu flicked the divorce papers in his hand, picked up the key, and headed towards Yamabuki Minami's room.

"Knock knock knock."

The door was open. Shiratori Osamu came to the door and knocked to let everyone know he had arrived.

The mother and daughter were snuggling together by the bed, whispering secrets to each other.

Upon hearing the knock on the door, Minami and Yuki turned around and looked at the person who had come in, their eyes lighting up with anticipation.

"Xiu Jun".

"Shiratori-kun".

"He signed it."

Faced with the expectations of the mother and daughter, Shiratori Osamu naturally could not disappoint them, and waved the divorce agreement in his hand.

Wow, let me see.

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Minami Yamabuki excitedly stood up and ran forward.

"Did he sign it so quickly?"

Upon hearing the news, Yamabuki stood up with delight, but being an adult, she quickly walked over.
