As the president of the consortium, Amamiya Kinma usually drives to the headquarters of the consortium around noon, sits in the office for a while if he has nothing to do, and asks the secretary to drive with him to the branch below.

Today, Saturday, most of the industrial parks are closed, and it is rare to have a quiet time near Amamiya.

When I woke up in the morning, washed my face and went to the manor for a morning exercise, the team of maids with a clear division of labor had already prepared breakfast.

In addition to the head maid, the maid team will change some personnel from time to time, and it is almost not the first group of people after so many years.

So few people know Amamiya Kimama's preferences, breakfast is always not done right, but Amamiya Konma never complains about anything.

The regular replacement is not to say that it is to prevent the vigilance of the house thief, but that Amamiya Rima has not had the intention of continuing the string since the death of his wife ten years ago, he has just passed his forty-fourth birthday this year, and he is still in the prime of life for a man, so many maids in the family have crooked thoughts.

However, if Amamiya Konma sees this kind of desire to be a hostess, he will find an opportunity to dismiss him soon after, and he still misses his deceased wife.

As a well-numbered entrepreneur in a country and even in society, this is rare, and has even been regarded as a miracle by wealthy upper circles.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Enter."

Amamiya Kinma was in the study to read the financial reports of the consortium's various products this quarter, among which the instant noodles of a certain food brand of the consortium were rumored to be food safety worries not long ago, and the market value has evaporated more than one billion yen, which has recently become a problem for him.

He's thinking about whether to let his daughter exercise, from public relations to internal processing, and let Amamiya Chizuru try it?

Although if it is not handled well, it may even be a follow-up loss of billions, but this kind of opportunity to be ordered in a crisis may not be once in a lifetime, and it must be a great benefit for my daughter to learn something from it.

Being able to let her daughter be full-fledged under the care of her when she was still in the prime of life is the driving force that has supported Amamiya Konma to survive the ten years of losing his wife.

His love for his daughter is extremely deep, and he doesn't believe that anyone can surpass him.

But......

I heard the head maid say that my daughter seems to be in love recently?

He looked up when he heard the voice, originally thinking that it would be the head maid, but he didn't expect that it would be Amamiya Chizuru who came in.

This made Amamiya Kima stunned, his daughter has not dealt with herself since she was a child, and she never took the initiative to find herself, what happened today?

"What's the matter?" He closed the earnings papers and looked at his daughter.

Maybe Asian fathers don't know how to express love, although they are worried about their daughter's recent feelings, but Amamiya Konma can't tell from his tone or facial expressions that he is concerned.

On the contrary, it is like a president asking the secretary who knocks on the door, what are you trying to do with me for no reason?

"I have something to ask you." Amamiya Chizuru's expression was also surging, and the two of them did not have the slightest meaning of father-daughter affection when they talked.

"Hmm......" Amamiya nodded, "Tell me about it." ”

Is his daughter finally willing to open up her heart to herself?

He was very happy in his heart, and even the corners of his eyes revealed a slight joy.

Quietly, he turned off his phone.

Even if the company building suddenly catches fire now, it can't disturb my daughter's friendship with herself!

If Aemiya Chizuru was as smart as usual, he might be able to see the mental state of his cheap daddy now.

But her occasional episodes of lethargy and faint signs of beginning......

Damn, how do you feel like the frequency is speeding up?

Amamiya Chizuru walked over and sat down on the sofa farthest away from Amamiya Konma.

"Where did I go to kindergarten?" She asked her father.

Amamiya Konma was a little puzzled, although the kindergarten was not finished, and she was sent abroad after the car accident, but the kindergarten should have begun to remember.

"In Hokkaido." Amamiya Konma replied, "You should know." ”

"I only remember being in Hokkaido." Amamiya Chizuru confesses.

It was as if there was a fog in her mind, shrouded in the events of her childhood, and even the unforgettable car accident was already foggy and hazy.

"In a small town near Sapporo." Amamiya Konma thought for a moment and continued, "At that time, I was still working in Hokkaido, and although my family was in Tokyo, I went to Hokkaido when I was young. ”

"It's not like you."

It's the first time I've heard of this kind of thing from my father.

Not only in her concept, but in the minds of all those who are familiar with Amamiya Konma, Amamiya Konma is a complete careerist.

The Tokyo metropolitan area is home to one-third of Japan's population, and Tokyo has a resident population of about 13 million, making it undoubtedly the most prosperous city in Japan.

And it's really incomprehensible that a character like Amamiya Konma would give up the opportunity to run to the poor countryside of the Hokkaido countryside all over Tokkaido.

Amamiya Konma took out a cigarette from his bosom and was just about to light it, when he was stunned to remember that his daughter was by his side, not talking to his business elite about work.

So he put away the cigarettes that were close to the flame, and lamented that the time to spend with his daughter was too little, which actually made him a little cramped about how to get along.

"At that time, Hokkaido was funded by the government, and if you went there for seven or eight years and then returned to Tokyo, you could get a lot of bids." Amamiya Konma said: "I have also taught you that many times it is a good idea to use money to solve things, and if you can use formal means, try not to use money." ”

Amamiya Chizuru didn't answer, just looked at his father calmly.

Amamiya Konma sighed lightly: "Well, it's because of your mother." ”

"Hokkaido is your mother's hometown, and after your mother died, I brought your grandfather to Tokyo so that they could live out their lives. But nearly 20 years ago, before you had the time, I went from Tokyo to Hokkaido to win this marriage. ”

Amamiya Chizuru listened quietly, listening to the story of the mother who couldn't remember what her father said.

Although she can't remember the fragments of memories before the car accident, Amamiya Chizuru is sure that her mother loves her deeply, and at the same time, she loves her deeply.

Because later, when Amamiya Chizuru grew up, he went to investigate the car accident of that year, and found out the report of that year-

Amamiya Foundation's chairman, Amamiya Konma, was affected by a Sapporo Ring Road accident, and his wife was killed in a car accident to protect her daughter.

"Are you here to ask your mother?" There was a little more loneliness in Amamiya Konma's eyes: "You've grown up, but I don't really want to tell you these things, every time I think about it, it always makes me miserable." ”

"Do you love her?" Amamiya Chizuru asked abruptly, "Do you really love my mother?" ”

Amamiya was stunned for a moment, and then frowned slightly: "What is this?" ”

True love doesn't need to be promised or expressed, and it's not difficult to see his true feelings from the fact that he has rejected all the high-class girls for his deceased wife in the past ten years.

Even if someone doubts it, it can't be his daughter!

Amamiya Chizuru was angry, her brows furrowed, her lips pursed and trembled, and finally the cute little tiger tooth became angry.

"But you killed her with your own hands!" She gritted her teeth and said coldly: "If you love her, you shouldn't drink and drive her on the highway!" ”

"I'm ......" Amamiya Konma, distraught by the sudden pointing, he stood up and prepared to open his mouth to scold his ignorant daughter.

But when he saw the tears in the eyes of Amamiya Chizuru, he suddenly felt as if he was deflated and had no strength.

He sat down again on his feet, heavily and limply, on the sofa that he had bought with money that ordinary people could not earn in a lifetime, and on the throne that symbolized ten years of wealth.

But he suddenly felt so tired, so tired.

You shouldn't point to a daughter who also loves her wife, and you shouldn't be angry at her for her mother's death.

So after a long, long time, Amamiya Konma spoke softly, "It's not me, child. ”

"That's enough, forget it." Amamiya Chizuru shook her head: "You will only have a few words over and over again, if I didn't have conclusive evidence, I wouldn't hate you so much." ”

"Just by the words of the traffic policeman back then?" Amamiya frowned.

"But you didn't even know he talked to you back then!"

This is about the fact that Amamiya Chizuru once asked the traffic police in charge of the rescue in order to investigate the car accident that year, and many traffic police claimed that there was a problem with Amamiya Konma's mental state at that time, and there was a smell of alcohol in the car.

It's just that Amamiya Konma was also injured at that time, and he is a well-known entrepreneur, so the traffic police did not test the alcohol concentration, but sent their family of three to the ambulance, and quickly began to rescue the remaining vehicles.

According to the traffic police at the time, the entire viaduct was on fire, and with a thick fog, screams, burning cars, and blood-soaked ground constituted a hell on earth.

In addition, Amamiya Chizuru vaguely remembered that when she was led out of the hotel, the person smelled of alcohol very much, so she concluded that Amamiya Konma was drunk driving at the time.

Amamiya's car was at the end of a series of crashes, and if his father had been more focused, he might have avoided crashing into the wreckage in front of him, and a bent iron rod had pierced the windshield and stuck in his mother's back...... At that time, the iron rod should have pierced his head, but it was his mother who protected him in her arms, and only hurt his forehead.

When Amamiya Chizuru first questioned Amamiya Konma with the testimony of those traffic policemen, Amamiya Konma showed anger and puzzlement.

He felt that the traffic police were giving false testimony.

Because he doesn't remember talking to so many traffic policemen, they just rescued their family, and they didn't even bother to say a word, so they continued to save others.

Amamiya felt that there must be some misunderstanding between them, and the testimony of the traffic police said that the family quickly got into an ambulance and rushed to the hospital.

But he was under the impression that in fact, after the traffic police and firefighters rescued them, the ambulance had not yet arrived.

Together with another pot-bellied man, he participated in the rescue.

At that time, they rescued many people, including the wife who had lost her husband, all the students who had lost her classmates, teachers, and students, and even a poor girl who had lost her parents.

More and more people then joined the rescue, those who were miraculously not injured in the car accident, and a young boy who came later.

Amamiya Konma remembers the disaster and vows that he will never forget the little boy who arrived later, a child who felt about the same age as his own daughter, who quickly prevented an effective rescue, and who was braver than many adults who were frightened by car accidents.

The temperament of the whole body, and the eyes......

Yes......

It's like the eyes I saw when I woke up in a vegetative state in the hospital.

"Don't believe the testimony of those people," Amamiya shook his head, "I can't mistake everything that happened that day, those police officers didn't talk to me, and it didn't happen that you said they didn't do a breathalyzer because they saw that I was a famous entrepreneur." I blew it at the time, didn't drink. ”

Amamiya Chizuru just looked at him coldly and didn't speak.

The always sane Amamiya Chizuru is still sane in this matter, she is her father's daughter, so she will not do anything such a childish thing as destroying the corporate empire he created in order to take revenge on her father.

The people in the company who have to support their families are innocent, and she will do everything within her part, including taking over the Amamiya Foundation in the future.

But out of selfishness, she couldn't forgive her father for killing her mother by drunk driving for the rest of her life!

"Look at the way you look, it's not to quarrel with me." Amamiya Konma said, "What do you want to ask you about the kindergarten?" ”

"Do you know Mio Izumi?"

"Mio Izumi......," Amamiya frowned, "a very familiar name." ”

Amamiya Chizuru thought to herself, I think it's familiar, and you feel familiar, just because......

But before she could finish thinking in her heart, Amamiya Konma continued: "I remember, the people below told me that you have a boy you care about at school, this one is called Mio Izumi, and he always walks close to him? ”

Amamiya Konma said it very tactfully, didn't he directly say that this little girl is not my daughter's rival?

Dare to grab a man with my daughter?

I don't care if this man can do it or not, whether he can pass my level or not, but if you have a rival in love, you have to do it first!

"Say," he said, looking at Amamiya Chizuru, "what do you want." ”

Although her daughter hates herself, she is her daughter after all, the person she loves the most in the world.

It's hard to abandon the previous suspicion and come to find a father, if this thing is not done for my daughter beautifully, is it like a word?

Maybe I can take this opportunity to settle my old suspicions with my daughter.

Amamiya Chizuru was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then understood what her father meant.

"Where do you want to go?" She frowned: "I want to ask, was Mio and I in the same kindergarten when I was a child?" I always felt like I had seen her as a child. ”

"This matter ......" Amamiya Konma subconsciously wanted to say how I knew this, but the words changed: "You can check it." ”

"Meaning you're not impressed?"

"I don't remember the name."

"She's the daughter of the owner of Izumi Co., Ltd."

"And all the company, I remember you saying this."

Amamiya Konma thoughtfully: "That's not it." I have a little impression of that fat man, and I met him at that business banquet in Hokkaido. During the conversation, he told me that her daughter was already in elementary school, and you had just started kindergarten at the time, so you should not be in the same kindergarten. ”

"Oh yes, you think it's impressive, maybe at that business banquet." Amamiya Konma suddenly thought of something: "At that time, many people were leading children. ”

…………………………

"Mom, I'm fine here, I'll go back after the summer vacation." On Sunday night, Naoki Natsume received a call from his mother after finishing his daily study.

"Huh? You said you got my notebook when you cleaned up your house? Naoki Natsume was stunned: "Diary from kindergarten?!" ”

"Oh, no, I don't need to send it over," Naoki Natsume said, "Wait until I get home and see, it's almost a holiday anyway." ”

Asai, who was sweeping him in the house, shuddered and thought to himself, how could there be such a thing?!

"That, Natsume." She looked at Naoki Natsume, "Can I say a few words to my aunt?" ”
