Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

……

Ueda Shana, who hadn't come home yet, was sitting on the beach with an ugly face.

"We met today to humiliate me? Since I met that guy with you last time, I don't care if you don't contact me anymore! After all, you were the one who took the initiative to make friends when you were in middle school. At that time, I didn’t know what kind of Ueda family was! It was you who had no friends because you were proud and indifferent, and you who said you wanted to be good friends with me because I was very cheerful and willing to talk to you! Now you think I don't deserve to be your friend anymore in my capacity, I don't care! Have I been pestering you all this time?"

Standing aside, also angry but chattering, was Kawashima Takako.

She looked at Ueda Shana with a look of venting: "I knew it was him that day, and I wanted to take me to see him just to see a joke, right? Use your condescending eyes to see the entanglements between us ordinary people. Discover He is different from what I said before. Is it interesting to see my reaction? Yes, I like men with ability and money. What's wrong? Did I hide this from you? This is us civilians Those who come from different backgrounds would think that you have never been short of money, how can you understand the feelings of people like us?"

"In the final analysis, the reason why you have always regarded me as a friend is because you have never been able to make other friends. Because you are always so arrogant, so unapproachable, and you are full of aristocratic style! Only I don't care about this, I Accept your gifts and spend your money with peace of mind, and let you get the pleasure of 'so ordinary people usually live like this' from me! Why, after hearing those words from his mouth, I began to feel that my behavior is disgusting Have you started to enjoy the new pleasure of condescending and despising me?"

Ueda Shana stood up in silence, and said calmly, "I'm not what you think."

"It doesn't matter! Anyway, from what you asked me just now, I know that you no longer regard me as a friend." Kawashima Zizi's expression was very proud, "A woman like me, even if you feel ashamed, in this Tokyo There are tens of thousands of the same. Someone is willing to pay for me, why should I refuse? Who can force whom?"

"That's right, it was embarrassing for him at the time, but didn't he grow up completely because of it? Speaking of which, he might need to thank me! Up to now, he has not chosen to take revenge on me, even he understands what the real world is like Yes! He knows that I brought him growth, although it is a pity that he has no feelings for me, but I will not feel sorry because he is now a perfect match. There is no shortage of such men by my side!"

Ueda Shana took a deep breath: "I understand. At least today, you admitted it in person. That day, you denied everything, and only said that he was maintaining his self-esteem, so he threw all the responsibility on you You said that if the love between a man and a woman has no results, it is the same. This sentence is true, and you also threw the responsibility on him. You are not at fault at all. He did not find out what kind of person you are earlier. It's all his fault."

"He is stupid, what does it have to do with me? Yes, he is not stupid now. I heard about what happened in school yesterday. I have known you for so long, but I have never heard you say that you still have an engagement. Now Tao Dalang It has become so powerful that it actually entered your father's field of vision and made him prepare to give up the fiancé he originally chose for you. See? This is the real world, even your honorable father, isn't he always paying attention to better ones? , are you always ready to abandon the previous one? Hahahaha, what's so great..."

Kawashima Takako roared, and Ueda Shana was familiar with this scene. When something upset her before, she would always growl like this undisguisedly.

The funny thing is that the former Ueda Shana was very envious of her state of not having to restrain her emotions, and felt that she was a very real friend.

The ridiculous thing is that the previous self was also stupid, not knowing that in her true state, there are still many hypocrisy when she is calm.

Ueda Shana's eyes gradually turned cold and indifferent.

At the end, she suddenly slapped her hand hard, making a crisp sound.

Kawashima Zizi covered her face and looked at her in disbelief.

Ueda Shana said indifferently: "Don't you think that I am a high-ranking nobleman, and you yourself are an ordinary person? Now that you know what kind of family the Ueda family is, I beat you, are you going to take revenge?"

Kawashima Zizi's face was flushed, and he hissed, "What are you proud of! I'm going to sue you! Sue you!"

"Slap!" After another slap, Ueda Shana's expression was calm, "Go. I know that fighting can't win me, and suing is indeed a means. I'll wait."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked away.

Zizi Kawashima trembled with anger, cursing: "You bastard... bastard..."

"By the way." Ueda Shana stopped suddenly, looking back with cold eyes, "Because you have deceived Tao Dalang, and you have also deceived me. Now I hate you very much. Listen clearly, it is hatred. Be sure to give me One reason, let me completely destroy you."

Seeing the back of her turning and leaving without stopping, Zizi Kawashima was furious, and a trace of panic appeared in his eyes uncontrollably.

Why is this happening?

Chapter 191 But, I refuse!

"I am back."

When Ueda Shana walked into the house, he adjusted his mood and put on a smile.

"Welcome home." Ueda Haruko stood not far away smiling, but her eyes were a little worried, "I'm at school today, how are you?"

"Nothing special. Where's Father?"

Ueda Haruko took her hand: "Your father, he went to Xia Guild Hall tonight."

"...I see." The smile on Ueda Shana's face gradually turned into worry, "Is it because of what happened yesterday that other Patriarchs will blame Dad?"

"That's something your father can handle well." Ueda Haruko touched her face, "Compared to this, Dalang had a call at noon today. Since you are not at school or at home, he worried .”

"..." Ueda Shana pursed her lips and said nothing, feeling a little aggrieved.

Will you be worried?No wonder you're worried.

"Did you call him in the morning? Classmate Dalang said that what he said on the phone in the morning was a joke. He asked you to call him back after you go home."

"That rascal!"

Ueda Shana gritted his teeth and held back a sentence.

Just kidding, kidding again.

Was it a joke with what I said last night, or was it a joke this morning that what I said yesterday was a joke!

That's abominable!

"Why did you quarrel?" Ueda Haruko asked softly, looking down into her eyes.

"No." Ueda Shana shook his head, "Mom, I'm going to practice first."

She practiced for a long time, but she was always absent-minded.

With hesitation in his eyes, he finally put away the bamboo knife and ran to the bathroom calmly.

It's normal to go in and come out quickly.

"Mom, is dinner ready?"

"Just wait a little longer."

"Oh... then I... just call him back first..."

Ueda Haruko turned her back to her and raised the corners of her mouth.

Ueda Shana sat next to the phone, took a breath before dialing.After the voice in the receiver rang, she felt her heart beating faster.

"Calm! Calm! Breathe, breathe!"

She secretly warned herself in her heart, pressed her other hand on her heart, and exhaled softly.

"Hello? It's me..." After the phone call, she pretended to be calm and said in a low voice, because she didn't want to be heard by her mother.

Tao Zhiming's voice came over clearly: "Hello? Who is it?"

"Me! Shana!" Ueda Shana gritted his teeth and raised his voice a little bit. I don't know if he really didn't hear clearly, or he was deliberately teasing himself again.

"Shana... sorry, what I said this morning was a joke."

Ueda Shana was suddenly at a loss for words.

Do you want to ask now, is it true that you said you like me?

Shame!

Who cares about this!

"You left school and didn't go home, where did you go?" Tao Zhiming's voice continued.

"Where am I going, do you care?" Ueda Shana said, feeling a little regretful and worried.However, he said it stubbornly.

"Then it's fine." After he said this, he didn't speak for a while.

Ueda Shana pinched her leg in frustration, and was silent with him.

After a while, his voice came again: "...the mobile phone bill is very expensive."

"It was you who asked my mother to tell me to call me back. What's the matter?" She blurted out, continuing to regret and worry.

Sure enough, there was silence on the other side of the phone, followed by a long sigh.

"Xia Na, although I have no relatives and am a descendant of the Xia Kingdom in Nihong, I also have my dignity and pride in my heart. I don't want to be regarded as someone who clings to the status and wealth of the Tian family."

"I know you're not that kind of person!"

"Anyway, it's because I know you left school in a bad mood, and I'm a little worried."

"Then...what the hell is it not a joke?" Ueda Shana was biting her lips and secretly looking forward to it with a trace of sweetness in her heart.

"I promised to help you defeat Morijiro. It's not a joke. I can only treat the rest as a joke." Tao Zhiming laughed on the phone, and Ueda Shana didn't know why he could hear the self-deprecating taste, "Here Until Tokyo really stands on its own, it’s only about me becoming someone who can’t be ignored, no jokes. Morijiro said he was going to kill me, so it’s not a joke.”

The light in Ueda Shana's eyes dimmed: "So before, was it just a game-like attitude? Promise me to defeat Morijiro..."

"If you have to say that, yes. Life is like a game, and you even have a clear script. When Ueda-sama said that I like to pursue excitement, when I promised you, I must have had this kind of mentality. High above How would you be panicked and astonished when faced with me who has entered the chess game in disorder? Have such a mentality."

Ueda Shana murmured: "Like a gambler, borrow so much money and earn it back with foreign exchange. Going to disrupt the consortium's plan for Takeda Manufacturing, and now willing to give up that kind of profit, with Sun Jun who is on the verge of extinction Fight Morijiro. Oro, why are you living so crazy?"

"Because, I have already died once. Every day that follows is extra. This is not madness, it is the release of the shackles. With this mentality, everything I want to do However, they all miraculously succeeded. Tell me, is there anything wrong with this?"

Ueda Shina's eyes became rosy, and his heart was full of sadness: "What if there is no more good luck? There are already enemies..."

"So I practice kendo seriously! I make more friends! I accumulate my strength! In this new life, no one will beat me again! I want to live in this world according to my heart, I will not let anyone control my mind!"

What he said was sonorous and firm, and Ueda Shana could imagine the way he said these words in front of his hazy eyes.

After the tears fell, she pressed her heart and said as calmly as possible: "I understand."

After a while, Tao Zhiming on the other end of the phone calmed down and continued: "Now, the new scripts of our lives have intersected. I have already entered the drama, but the part about my future can only be based on my own. I will write with my will. I don’t want to be manipulated and placed in any position! Even if you have appeared more and more in my heart, I don’t want to!”

Ueda Shana's tears washed down, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.

"So, don't ask me which part of me is serious, okay?" The voice on the phone became softer, "There is no need to confirm the true determination. From what I heard, in case it is a deception What? I don’t want to lie to you. Ask Ueda-sama tonight what kind of situation it was when he said that to you.”

"...I...understood." Ueda Shina finally revealed the state of sobbing from his voice.

"That's all for now, go to bed early at night. It doesn't matter what other people think about you in school. What does your life have to do with them?"

There was a "beep" sound from the receiver, and after Ueda Shina put down the phone, he sat there twitching his shoulders.

After a while, there was a warm embrace behind her.

After Ueda Haruko hugged her shoulders, Ueda Shina turned back and threw herself into her arms, weeping muffledly.

"What happened?" Haruko Ueda could only sigh, stroking her back gently.

Ueda Shana just shook his head, but refused to speak.

What can be done?

When I met him, he was already like this.

His identity, his family members who died suddenly in a car accident, his sincerity and betrayal, his will to rise from the most cowardly and bravest suicide, made him who he is now.

Even if he had really entered his guarded heart, he would not take the initiative to accept the status of son-in-law and adopted son.

That's what moved her heart, the strong, serious, confident, and proud him.

It's not him who treats her as a young lady, but he who treats her as someone who can be amused and embarrassed.

……

Kinoshita Hidekaze stared at him blankly, unable to speak for a long time.

Tao Zhiming put down the phone and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"... Those words just now are very imposing..." Kinoshita Hidekaze said with complicated eyes, "Did you want to do Takeda's manufacturing at the beginning, and wanted to see the panic of the big shots? You guy, isn't this crazy? What?"

"Brother Xiufeng, I said these words in front of you because I have truly accepted that you will become an inseparable companion in the future." Tao Zhiming calmly looked at the table in front of him, "In the eyes of Mitsubishi, I am yours. A card. In the eyes of other forces within Sumitomo, we are just the new generals of Executive Anzai and Chairman Kitagawa. Over the years, you have often worried that one day you will encounter irresistible pressure, right?"

Hideka Kinoshita was silent for a long time before he said: "In the 5th grade of elementary school, my father died of pneumonia. In the 1st grade of middle school, my mother died of illness. My brother raised me. After graduating from middle school, I started as a construction worker. Arrived at the current position. The year before last, the walking 3 million yen was killed by three gunmen in the hospital. Although some people thought it was me who also managed the real estate, it was not me, but it made me sober. From then on After that, I started to think about the road ahead until I met you."

Tao Zhiming nodded: "So, we can use each other, but we already have a certain strength, and we can't fall into the situation of being completely dominated by others."

"Are we using each other?" Kinoshita Hidekaze stared at him.

Tao Zhiming smiled: "The friendship established from mutual use is the most innocent. We have seen each other's deepest scheming, and we can all be calm with each other from now on. Brother Xiufeng, start to protect the land that we have desperately occupied. benefit!"

Kinoshita Hidekaze let out a long sigh: "If only I had a beautiful daughter."

"...I call you big brother, but you want to be my father?"

"What on earth is Ueda Masahiro thinking? You asked that Ueda lady to ask his father, how can Ueda Masahiro not be able to hear that you are lowering her daughter's expectations? What unshackles, live according to your will... But, just now I almost thought I was watching a movie. It looks like a bloody drama between a ruthless prodigal son and a good lady, you bastard!"

"It's okay." Tao Zhiming said cheerfully, "I also said it frankly in front of Lord Ueda. If I want to use me, I will take revenge and choose to lure his daughter to give him a headache. He knows that I am a What kind of person, I am very frank."

"... After saying such a thing, you can still stay at Ueda's house?" Kinoshita Hidekaze's eyes were full of disbelief.

"Probably this is how the Chinese used to treat guests. That's why I didn't sleep all night! I was worried that he would hack me to death with a sword in the middle of the night!"

"...Does Takao Hirano know what kind of person you are now?"

"Ueda-sama should tell him back."

"I'm curious about his expression when he heard those words."

"It's about the same as you were just now."

The door was pushed open, and Yoshio Anzai hurried over: "How is it? Although I know that Mitsubishi will definitely meet you, a key person, why would Takao Hirano make such a request?"

"Yes." Tao Zhiming let out a long sigh, "The Ueda family's fame, wealth, and a beautiful daughter. Who wouldn't be tempted by such a request?"

Anzhai Shanwei couldn't help but widen his eyes: "What... what do you think?"
