Chapter 223 Love lights up more stars at the end of lies...
"Xin, I already know what my parents did." She lowered her eyes. "I know that as the daughter of your enemy, it would seem hypocritical to say this... but I still have to say it."
"I'm so sorry, Xin."
For the couple who were silenced, for the young boy crying in the heavy rain for his deceased parents, and for the children who were put in iron torture instruments...
For everything.
She pulled out her phone and gently placed it on the storage shelf between the driver's seat. "All the evidence is in this phone. I didn't have enough time to read it all, but I have a rough idea of what kind of behemoth you're facing."
"Please let me come with you. No matter what you're facing, I want to face it with you. I can't turn a blind eye to what my parents did, and I can't leave you to deal with it all by yourself."
"Our relationship was filled with lies. We both said things we didn't mean. We were also separated by hatred stemming from our blood. But even after seeing all the truth, I still consider the time we spent together to be the most precious in my life."
"I'm not saying this to ask you to continue telling me sweet lies like you did in the past. I just want a chance to start over. Maybe not as a couple. We can start as companions first..."
The rain curtain was temporarily blocked and the car drove into the parking lot.
Until this point, Kamijouji Shin remained silent.
Just when the car stopped, he leaned sideways and forward and hugged Asayama Rika.
Asayama Rika could smell the dampness of rain on the young man.
She suddenly remembered that she had stayed in the dark and damp basement, which was also the crime scene, for nearly three hours. Not only was her body stained with a bad smell, but her skirt was also extremely dirty.
Kamijutsuji Shin is so close to her now, he can definitely smell it...
Her face turned red, and she shyly tried to push Kamijutsuji Shin away: "Wait, Xin, I want to take a shower first..."
Then, belatedly realizing how easily her words could be misunderstood, her face turned even redder.
Kamijutsuji Shin didn't listen to her at all.
The young man no longer plays the role of a weak patient. Hidden under the loose clothes is a slender and strong body. The strength he possesses is not only enough to hold his sweetheart's hand tightly, but also enough to hug her tighter when she is shy.
Feeling the warm body in his arms, the fear of being betrayed and abandoned that had been tormenting him since the girl left in the afternoon finally subsided.
It was a feeling of weightlessness that made him feel cold all over, as if everything was falling due to gravity. He had to try his best to avoid showing any abnormality on the outside.
Moreover, emotions had never surged like they did back then... Uetsuji didn't know how he could command his men in such a situation, destroy several dens of the "Fulu Society" at the same time, and even remember to call an extra car to take the children home.
"I saw the message you sent me."
He used this gesture to stroke the hair that fell on the back of Asayama Rika's head, "I want to believe you, but the voice in my head keeps telling me another possibility."
"Did you betray me by going there not to buy time, but to tip off Tomihara Taro? Asayama Kei was on the plane, so you had no choice but to use this circuitous method to inform their members first. You were giving me so many instructions, were you just trying to lure me over here? You've already set up numerous traps here, and if I go over there, I'll be dead without a burial place."
"My head seems to be split in two. One half is frantically searching for evidence in our shared memories, telling me you won't betray me. The other half is pulling out the cold reality of the barriers between us, telling me I'm not worthy of love at all. I've been deceiving you and using you all along... Once you truly understand what kind of person I am, you'll definitely leave me."
His voice was a little trembling.
Asayama Rika felt his emotions and couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat, so she gently hugged him back.
"It's okay. I'm here," she said. "That wasn't a lie...at least not entirely. I wouldn't fall in love with you because of a lie. I fell in love with you because, behind the lie, your warm soul drew me closer to you."
"It's not like no one has approached me over the years... Have some confidence in yourself and me, okay?"
Kamijutsuji felt that these words strangely dispelled the uneasiness that had just risen up in him.
After he confessed everything, there were still people willing to love him and say that it was heartwarming for such a hypocritical and selfish guy...
He felt tears falling uncontrollably from his eyes.
"Hurry, go home and take a shower, don't catch a cold."
He concealed his abnormal reaction and used this posture to secretly wipe away his tears.
"I made the lily and pear porridge you like."
.
Even though Kamijutsuji really wanted to spend some time with Asayama Rika and chat in peace, he had too much to deal with after he had just busted the Fukurokukai's hideout. He could only move his computer to Asayama Rika's bedroom and work in the same room with her.
The round-faced girl sat on the edge of the bed, not disturbing him. She took out her cell phone and typed, editing a long message to send to her mother.
She probably knew about the company's hidden criminal activities and that the death of Kamijutsuji's parents was not an accident. She also hoped that when she was arrested, she would tell everything she could and try to say as much as possible about what she couldn't say. She would visit her and her father in prison frequently.
After posting it, Asayama Rika herself felt like laughing.
Filial piety leads to strength.
She is so bad. How could there be such a bad child like her?
But what mom and dad did is truly unacceptable...
She sighed softly.
Mom must have felt like the sky was falling when she got off the plane.
In the few hours when she couldn't contact the outside world, everything in the outside world changed.
Sorry, mom.
She didn't send a message to Asayama Onto. Compared to Asayama Hui, she actually didn't know how to face her father - if he could still be called a "father".
In the information sent by "Lei Feng", her father's name was listed on the membership list of "Fulu Society".
The moment Asayama Rika saw his father's name, her dislike for Asayama Atsuto reached its peak.
It turns out that my father is controlled by my mother from body to mind...
She lowered her head and pursed her lips.
"A Xiang, A Xiang?" Kamijouji Xin called her.
She came back to her senses: "Huh?"
"What... do you plan to do in the future?" The young man said a little embarrassedly, "I mean, are you not interested in charity?"
Asayama Rika blinked.
OVO?
"Charity...what do you mean?"
Uetsuji Shin: "I discussed this with the person who helped me. She felt that after eliminating the Asayama Group's shady business and eradicating the 'Fulu Society', a large amount of assets and personnel with little involvement would have nowhere to go. She said that if you are interested, these things will be yours to manage. Since you are the sole heir to the Asayama family, it is your legitimate responsibility to manage these things."
"She said you don't have to worry about not being able to handle it yourself. She will assign an expert to help you."
Asayama Rika was stunned.
"Me?"
Doing charity?
She thought of the children again.
Their eyes sparkled like stars in the night sky.
If she could use what she had—no, the money that had never been hers—to light more stars...
"I'm interested." She nodded affirmatively, "But, Xin is smarter than me, so she needs to help me more often."
Ah Xin graduated from a prestigious university and is extremely professional in handling finances. It would be unreasonable not to ask him for help.
"Of course I will help you." Kamijutsuji Shin didn't feel the embarrassment he had when he made up his mind to infiltrate the Asayama Group. Instead, he was very happy knowing that he would continue to work in the Asayama Group (although he might get a promotion).
"Also..." Kamijutsuji Shin glanced at Asayama Rika and said cautiously, "The person I'm working with suggested that you don't go see your parents for the time being. Traveling somewhere would be more helpful in relaxing your mind."
Asayama Rika chuckled. "I know now isn't a good time to meet my parents. We have to wait until the dust settles so they won't try to use me to exploit you. As for traveling... I don't know why, but I feel like I've heard this suggestion before."
"Let's finish this together first." She leaned closer to Kamijutsuji Shin and kissed him on the cheek with a smile. "When this is done and we really plan to go on a trip, I have something else to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Kamijouji's curiosity was aroused.
"It's a secret for now - your cup is empty. I'll go get you some water." As she said that, Rika Asayama picked up his cup and walked towards the living room.
Kamijutsuji Shin supported his head and looked at her back in a daze.
He recalled the first time he saw her.
Asayama Rika didn't know that the encounter on the bench was not their first meeting.
When she was a child, every New Year, Kokami Tsujishin would be taken back to her hometown in Tottori Prefecture by her parents.
At that time, the neighbor's family also had a little girl who was brought home every year just like him. However, her house was much more magnificent than his own, and she was also controlled much more strictly than him.
When the adults were busy, no one cared about him, so he would just hang out and play by himself.
It was then that he saw the little girl sneaking out of the window.
She was delicate and plump, with two little buns on her head, and was struggling to crawl out.
After finally climbing out, I tripped over the guardrail outside the window and fell flat on my face on the fallen leaves.
He laughed so loudly at that time.
The funny look of the little girl could not be erased from his memory, and it was still vivid in his memory.
Later he went to ask the adults and found out her name.
Light mountain pear fragrance.
The name is as cute as the person.
Kamijutsuji smiled and whispered in the empty bedroom:
"I bet she'll still be on my side after she knows the truth."
"I won the bet."
"You lose."
His voice continued to stir ripples in his heart.
After a long while, he heard the voice that had been bothering him for a long time speak:
"Yeah? "
"I guess I should congratulate you."
"I hope you always have such good luck."
