Suzuki raised his wrist to look at his watch, it was only 10:18, and it was still early, so he was not in a hurry. Hearing Horie's shout, he was a little puzzled, thinking that something had happened again, so he turned around and walked back quickly.

Horie looked at Suzuki's young face, thinking so much that he forgot why he called him back for a while, until Suzuki asked two questions, and then Fang said, "Suzuki-kun, do you know?" In fact, on that day, we were not only confirming the will, but also making a large revision of the content of the will. ”

Suzuki looked at Horie with a puzzled expression, wondering why she would tell him all these things.

Horie added, "The last change in this will is actually all due to you. ”

"What!" Suzuki lost his voice and said, "How is this possible?" ”

There seemed to be a hint of jealousy in Horie's tone: "Suzuki-kun, you are a very special person. Since experiencing business failures, Kyohei has become very suspicious. No, it should be said that Jingping has always been very suspicious, and after the company went bankrupt, it became even worse. He became inattentive to others and thought that everyone wanted to harm him. Even Helen, who has known him and has been married for more than ten years, he doesn't believe it anymore. Helen was so angry that she divorced him and returned to the United States alone. ”

Horie's words are very informative, and the Sakuragi Kyohei in her mouth and the Sakuragi Kyopei he knows are simply two people.

"However, he accepts you unsuspectingly. In just over a month, he has treated you as a close friend, and even entrusted the only remaining relative, Ikebana, to you. You're such a special person! Horie repeated.

Horie sighed and stopped talking, his eyes showing sadness.

Suzuki looked at Horie quietly, knowing that she hadn't finished speaking, so he didn't interject. Actually, he didn't know what to say.

Akiko Horie looked at Suzuki and continued: "Suzuki-kun, do you know that although Kyopei's company is bankrupt, he himself still has a considerable amount of money in his hands, which is enough for him and Hanamichi An to spend this life in peace. ”

Suzuki asked, "Then why didn't he use the money to treat his illness?" ”

Horie looked at Suzuki with wide eyes, and looked at him like this without speaking, seeing that Suzuki's heart was furious, thinking that he had said something wrong, Fang Cai sighed again and said, "I finally have some understanding of Kyopei's choice." ”

"What?" Suzuki said he didn't understand.

Horie looked away from Suzuki, as if talking to herself, but in response to Suzuki's previous question, she said, "Kyohei thinks that even if this money is used, he will just survive in the hospital bed, and this kind of life is too boring, and it will drag down Hanamichi, so he insists on giving up treatment." He had no desire to live. ”

Suzuki recalled the bits and pieces of his acquaintance with Kyohei Sakuragi, this approach is indeed in line with Sakuragi's character of being strong, realistic, and utilitarian, and only exceptions when it comes to his son, and said lightly: "I can understand this approach, but I can't accept it." ”

Kyohei Sakuragi has an eccentric personality, which is in the eyes of ordinary people in the 11th district, and Suzuki's soul comes from the distorted values of the future and everything is about money, and entertainment stars are better than scientists.

Ignoring Suzuki, Horie fell into the rhythm of his ego and continued, "The first thing he did when he woke up in the hospital was for me to help him change his will. He asked me to put half of my savings up and buy a house nearby for ikebana. ”

Suzuki was a little puzzled, this decision was not in line with Sakuragi's character. Sakuragi Hanamichi is still young now, and he may not be able to take care of it by himself if he buys a property for him now. Moreover, it seems a bit too wasteful to let Sakuragi Hanamichi live in a house alone.

However, Horie's next sentence made Suzuki's face change, and she said: "Kyohei said that the head of this house will first write the name of Sakuragi Hanamichi, and then transfer the house to you, Suzuki Hirofumi, when he is an adult." ”

Suzuki said angrily, "How can he do this! I promised to take care of Ikebana, not for his property! He's asking me how to behave! ”

Horie said quietly: "I also think that what he did was wrong, he actually chose to believe you instead of me." Frankly, I'm sad and disappointed. But Kyohei wasn't confused, he even expected your reaction now. He asked me to tell you that it wasn't a deal, just a gift from a friend. He believes that even without the existence of a house, you will take care of Ikebana until he reaches adulthood. Jingping has always been very accurate in looking at people, and he said that since you promised him, you will not regret it. This home just makes your commitment human. He said that he liked the story you told about an ancient Chinese tribesman who traded cattle for slavery. ”

Suzuki was silent for a long time and said, "What I said, I will definitely do it." But this house, I will never take it! You guys are underestimating my ability to make money! ”

Horie smiled, "When the house is in your name, you can dispose of it as you like." Also, Kyohei has never underestimated your abilities. He asked me to put the rest of my money into the stock market in the United States, to buy shares of Microsoft, Apple and Cisco. He thinks your analysis is very reasonable, and the future will be the era of networking and informatization! ”

Suzuki was speechless again, these things were actually mentioned by chance during the nonsense when the two of them were drunk, but I didn't expect Sakuragi Kyohei to remember it. Suzuki didn't have the heart to talk any further, waved his hand and said, "Then let's do it first, you give me some time to think." ”

Kyohei Sakuragi's funeral was handled by Akiko Horie after contacting the funeral company and entrusting a professional to handle it.

Suzuki saw Sakuragi Hanamichi again on the night and felt like he had matured a lot.

Sakuragi Hanamichi has accepted the fact of his father's death, his face is calm, the etiquette is proper, only the red and swollen eyes and hoarse voice let people know his hidden sorrow.

Farewell, burial.

The funeral process went quickly and shabbyly.

There were many people who came to Kyopei Sakuragi's funeral, but most of them just took a look at it and left. In addition to Suzuki's neighbors, there are only Horie and a few of his subordinates before his death.

There were even a few people who were quite disrespectful to the deceased, and Sakuragi Hanamichi was so stunned that he almost ran away.

Suzuki stepped forward and held him down, and whispered: "Now it is the most important thing to let your father go safely and steadily, don't let him die, and make people laugh at him, the son he gave birth to is not educated!" ”

Sakuragi Hanamichi trembled, but finally endured it, and said in a questioning voice, "Thank you very much, Uncle Suzuki." I'm not going to lose my temper. ”

Throughout the funeral, Hanamichi Sakuragi behaved perfectly and beyond reproach, but when it was all over, he locked himself in his apartment room and cried all day!

Just as Suzuki was worried about him and was about to go upstairs and knock on the door, he opened the door, but saw Sakuragi standing at the door, and said in a hoarse voice, "Uncle Suzuki, from today onwards, I will live with you." ”
