Didn’t you say you were just using me as a substitute?

Not to mention the gossip that Yuki's mother started talking about, on the other side, Sayuri Sawamura and Takashi Kitahara were sitting face to face.

Sayuri Sawamura stared at Kitahara Takashi for a long time, until she felt uncomfortable staring at him all over, then she said: "Takashi, you are too cruel and heartless."

Kitahara Takashi didn't know how to answer. What Sayuri Sawamura said was right. He was indeed cruel and heartless, so he could only remain silent.

"You cancelled your number and blocked my phone. You really didn't leave any thoughts for Eriri at all."

"You disappeared completely from Eriri's world."

"Do you know how sad Eriri is right now?"

Beiyuan Zun lowered his head, staring at the tea leaves floating in the cup. After a long while, he said, "I can probably guess."

"Eriri is in a terrible state right now."

"Now she doesn't eat or go to class. She locks herself in the studio every day and keeps painting your portrait."

"You know what? She's so skinny now that she's unrecognizable. She's been rushed to the hospital several times by ambulance."

Kitahara Tsutomu pursed his lips into a straight line, his eyes still fixed on a piece of tea leaf floating in the teacup.

Sayuri Sawamura glanced at Kitahara Takashi's hand holding the cup.

At this moment, Kitahara Tsutomu held the cup tightly in his palms with both hands, squeezing so hard that his veins were exposed, showing that he was not at peace.

In fact, Kitahara Takashi doesn't dislike either Kasumigaoka Utaha or Spencer Sawamura Eriri.

Of course, I didn’t like it either.

Because whether it is hate or like, it is an emotion.

Kitahara Takashi would not express such emotions towards strangers.

From the beginning to the end, no matter whether Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri were good or bad to him, he just treated them as strangers.

"Can you continue to lie to her?"

"I'll give you whatever amount of money you want."

"Even if you treat her as a fool, I hope she will be a happy little fool."

Sayuri Sawamura knew that this was wrong, but Eriri's current situation was that she couldn't survive without Watanabe Takashi.

She said everything that needed to be said and everything that needed to be advised.

But Yinglili wouldn't listen.

"Auntie, then what was the meaning of my previous breakup?"

Kitahara Takashi was not at peace, but he refused firmly.

"I broke up with her because I didn't want to get entangled with her."

"I know."

Sayuri Sawamura naturally knew that Kitahara Takashi broke up with her in order to completely end all ties.

"But I really have no other choice now."

"Now except you, no one can make her eat properly."

If she wasn't completely helpless and had no other options, Sayuri Sawamura wouldn't have wanted to propose this solution.

"Even Tomoya Aki isn't okay?"

Sayuri Sawamura shook her head: "No, now she goes crazy when she sees Aki, sometimes angry, sometimes scared, and keeps smashing things."

"This waste."

Kitahara Tsutomu cursed softly.

He is here, so just forget it if you can't compete with him.

Now that he is gone, and you still can't fight, what else can you be but Five?

Even if I give you a chance, you won’t be able to use it.

"It's okay if you don't want to continue this relationship. Auntie, could you please go visit her once as Watanabe Takashi?"

"Just once."

"As long as you're willing to go, she'll definitely cheer up and eat well."

Seeing that Kitahara Takashi didn't want to continue, Sayuri Sawamura made another proposal.

"This is not an order, but a mother's request."

"Zun, Auntie is relying on you here."

Sayuri Sawamura stood up from her chair and bowed deeply to Kitahara Takashi.

The long purple hair fell like a waterfall, covering the elegant and noble face of this person in Beiyuan Zun's heart.

Kitahara Takashi couldn't see her face clearly.

Her body trembled slightly.

For a moment, Kitahara Tsutomu felt as if a fish bone was stuck in his throat. His throat was severely blocked and his chest felt a little stuffy.

If Sayuri Sawamura beat him up and scolded him, he would feel better.

However, the other party humbly requested him, the "murderer" who hurt her daughter, to go see her, and Kitahara Tsutomu felt guilty.

Sayuri Sawamura's action attracted the attention of the people at the table where Kotonoha Katsura was sitting.

They all cast their eyes in this direction.

"What's going on here?"

Ichinose Honami couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"This is a mother's humble plea for her child."

Yuki's mother could understand what her best friend was thinking. She reached out and touched Yukinoshita Yukino's soft hair, with a maternal light flashing in her eyes.

She is very strict with her children, and even her own children don't understand her.

Both Yukinoshita Haruno and Yukinoshita Yukino are afraid of their mother.

Yukinoshita Yukino even moved out to avoid him.

But how can there be a mother in the world who doesn’t love her own children?

Xue's mother is strict with her two daughters, but it is also for their own good.

After all, if you don't educate your children, society will teach them how to behave.

It is better to suffer a little now than to learn a lesson from it later.

"…Mother?"

Hoshino Ai, who always had a sweet fake smile on her face, couldn't smile at this moment.

She looked at Sayuri Sawamura, her heart full of envy.

Her mother was the one who put glass shards in her rice because she was jealous of her.

She has never experienced maternal love.

If possible, she would be willing to give up everything she has and be born into an ordinary family.

Faced with Sayuri Sawamura's request, Kitahara Takashi's mood felt like it was blocked by mud, unable to flow or breathe, which made people feel depressed.

He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

Just then, Kitahara Tsutomu heard his cell phone ringing.

He looked at the phone on his desk and saw the caller ID: Ye Ying Tong.

"Hey?"

"Have you met Mrs. Sawamura?"

Kitahara Tsutomu didn't know how Ye Ying Tong knew his whereabouts, or how she knew his conversation, but he didn't care at all now. He just said "Hmm!" in a deep voice.

"She asked you to visit her daughter?"

"Ok?"

"You must be feeling very complicated right now. You want to refuse but can't say it."

Sometimes, Kitahara Takashi always wondered if Yozakura Hitomi could read minds or something.

Otherwise, why could she always guess what she was thinking accurately?

"Ah."

"What's there to worry about?"

Yozakura Tong let out a soft laugh.

"You and I are both selfish people."

"What do other people's opinions mean to you and me?"

What Yozakura Hitomi said was unpleasant, but Kitahara Tsutomu felt much better after hearing it.

Yes, he is a selfish person.

That's why he lives so freely.

Because he has no such thing as conscience.

"Zun, do what you want, I will always stand behind you."

"Whether it's the Sawamura family, the Kashiwagi family, or the Shinomiya family, I will stop them all for you."

"Remember, I like you, not what kind of you you are."

Kitahara Takashi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "If you say that, I might fall in love with you. If you break up with me in the future, I will kill you."

"What a coincidence! This is what I planned from the beginning. I'm only widowed, not divorced."

Ye Yingtong said it very seriously, it didn't seem like a joke.

"That's not what you said before."

"Hasn't anyone told you that beautiful women are the best liars? And I am beautiful."

There was a hint of smile in Ye Ying Tong's voice.

"How are you, feeling better?"

Beiyuan Zun closed his eyes, and when he opened them again he had made up his mind.

"I understand, Hitomi."

"Hang up. By the way, come sleep over here with me tonight."

Beiyuan Zun smiled bitterly and said, "You don't want to let me go for even a day."

"What are you thinking about, you bastard? Stop thinking about yellow waste all day long."

After Ye Yingtong finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

"Then don't ask for it when the time comes."

Kitahara Tsutomu complained bitterly in his heart.

Every time you say you're a vegetarian, but in the end, who is it that starts to get naughty with his hands while sleeping?

However, after this phone call, Kitahara Takashi's inner struggle was no longer so great. He looked at Sayuri Sawamura calmly and said, "Auntie, I won't go to visit Eriri."

"We have a saying in my hometown: a qualified ex should be as good as dead."

This visit to her was just a repeat of the same mistake.

Meaningless.

"...Zun, you are so heartless."

Sayuri Sawamura's eyes were dim and she said those words again.

In fact, before she made the request, she had already thought about it like this.
