Conan wants to lie down but won't let him

"Ichiro, you..." Xia Jiang's face was also full of disbelief, after all, Ichiro was her cousin.

"I heard from the butler that Mr. Ichiro once expressed his love for Miss Xia Jiang to Mr. Gozo." Conan's mouth seemed to be filled with poison as he continued to speak to Ichiro in a piercing way.

What Conan asked Butler Suzuki mysteriously before must be information about this aspect!

"Yes, you are right! I hope to marry Miss Xia Jiang." At this time, Ichiro Hatamoto had broken down, crying and shouting loudly.

"But Grandpa decisively rejected me. He said he would never let his beloved Xia Jiang marry a brat like me, and he also said I was a loser."

I don't know why, but when Ichiro Hatamoto was telling this story, his expression was particularly strange, and he revealed some inexplicable looks, looking like a pervert.

"And not long after, Xia Jiang's marriage was announced. Yesterday, when I was drawing Xia Jiang on the deck, Grandpa told me to just give up on the impossible and stop dreaming about things that were impossible.

I absolutely cannot forgive Grandpa. He actually forbade me to marry Xia Jiang, and Xiao Wu who took Xia Jiang away is also unforgivable. Unforgivable... Unforgivable... Grandpa, I hate you!"

Ichiro Hatamoto's voice of unwillingness and pain echoed throughout the room. The dog licked until the end but still got nothing. Moreover, the goddess didn't even know that there was such a dog who liked her, and he just kept licking her.

"Hey, Brother Fujiwara, did you know about this situation yesterday on the deck? After Mr. Hatamoto Gozo finished talking with Mr. Ichiro, you hinted to Mr. Kitaro."

Xiaolan approached Fujiwara Hiroshi and asked quietly.

"I had already seen some clues at the time. Although everyone understood it at the time as President Hatamoto pointing at Mr. Ichiro's painting, when I saw Mr. Ichiro's painting from the side, I realized that President Hatamoto had another deeper meaning that no one else had discovered."

Fujiwara Hiroshi shrugged and said.

"Sigaoyi, you are worthy of being Brother Fujiwara." Xiaolan exclaimed sincerely.

"Mr. Ichiro, I know you are very emotional, but please calm down." Fujiwara Hiroshi started to play at this time.

"First of all, you like Miss Xia Jiang, but you don't express your feelings to her. Instead, you hide in the dark and secretly crush on her. What's the point of secretly painting her portrait?

If you don't believe me, go ask Miss Xia Jiang if she likes you. What's the point of you getting carried away and feeling touched by yourself?"

“Ah…!?” Fujiwara Hiroshi’s words were like a wake-up call, instantly waking up the emotionally agitated Hatamoto Ichiro.

Only then did Ichiro Hatamoto realize that he seemed to have never expressed his feelings to the protagonist Xia Jiang, which was embarrassing.

"So if Miss Xia Jiang doesn't like you, what's the point of you blaming your grandfather and Mr. Xiao Wu?

You think that even if President Hatamoto didn't object and Xiao Wu didn't appear, you yourself wouldn't know whether Xia Jiang liked you or not. Even if Xiao Wu didn't appear, no one else would appear, right?

So I think your grandfather was absolutely right when he said you were a loser. You didn't dare to face Miss Xia Jiang directly, fearing she would reject you. You hid in the background and secretly went to see President Hatamoto, hoping to force Xia Jiang to be with you through him. If you're not a loser, what is it?"

Fujiwara Hiroshi further scolded Hatamoto Ichiro.

"This...this..." Hatamoto Ichiro was so frustrated that he couldn't answer. He was really afraid. He hadn't dared to express his feelings to Xia Jiang for so many years. He was afraid that if he said it out loud, Xia Jiang would reject him.

"Now that the truth has been revealed, and Xia Jiang is right in front of you, you can ask Xia Jiang if she likes you? Or you can ask her if she chose Mr. Xiao Wu herself, or if your grandfather forced them together?"

Fujiwara Hiroshi spoke without any scruples and directly pulled off Ichiro Hatamoto's fig leaf, allowing him to face Xia Jiang's attitude.

"I'm sorry, Ichiro. I've always considered you my brother. There's no other emotion involved. Besides, you're my cousin. We're close relatives. How could there be such a connection?"

Xia Jiang also told Hatamoto Ichiro his true thoughts bluntly, directly shattering Hatamoto Ichiro's dream.

"But...but..." Hatamoto Ichiro was still unwilling. He wanted to say something but couldn't.

"What? Are you embarrassed to say it out loud? Then let me help you. What you want to say is that your parents are cousins, right?"

Fujiwara Hiroshi said it bluntly.

"That's right, my parents can do it, why can't it happen to me!" At this time, Ichiro Hatamoto retorted with a red face.

"Haha! You're completely different from your parents. As far as I know, your grandfather was against your parents' marriage. So, guess why they were able to get married and have you?"

Fujiwara Hiroshi's rhetorical question stunned Hatamoto Ichiro, as he had never thought about this question before.

Now when Fujiwara Hiroshi mentioned this issue, he suddenly realized that his grandfather seemed to have always had objections to his parents' marriage, but why did his parents...

"Don't think about it anymore. I can tell you the answer directly. That's because both your parents accepted it and there was real love between them. Even though your grandfather was against this kind of marriage between cousins, he had no choice but to agree and didn't force the separation.

Do you understand now? If you and Xia Jiang truly loved each other, your grandfather might have agreed to it, but it's a pity that this is just wishful thinking on your part.

What made him even more angry was that you were just a coward, even worse than your parents. Your parents at least expressed their feelings to each other, but you didn't dare to confess your feelings to Xia Jiang at all, and only wanted to rely on your grandfather to force Xia Jiang to achieve his goal.

Now you should understand what your grandfather meant. Why was your grandfather so sure that your idea was just an impossible dream? Because he knew that the person Xia Jiang really liked was Xiao Wu, not you at all!

That's why he announced Xia Jiang's marriage shortly after you had such inappropriate thoughts. This was a disguised way of telling you that Xia Jiang didn't like you at all and that he liked Xiao Wu.

Yet you're still blaming the heavens and the earth, refusing to forgive your grandfather and Xiao Wu for taking Xia Jiang away from you. Ask yourself, was Xia Jiang taken away by Xiao Wu? When did she ever belong to you? This is all just your own fantasy."

Fujiwara Hiroshi looked at Ichiro Hatamoto, whose face was turning blue and purple, and knew that he could not answer this question because he had never thought about it, so Fujiwara Hiroshi generously told him the answer.
