Chapter 255: The Past
Tokyo, Adachi-ku. Among the 23 wards of Tokyo, it is either the first or the second from the bottom. The people who live here are naturally not rich people.
Even the local middle class in Tokyo would not choose to buy a house in Adachi Ward. The people who live here are mainly the aborigines of the area, except for the Japanese from all over the world who come to Beijing to work hard.
There is a saying in Tokyo that people in Minato Ward have never lost and never won a fight, while people in Adachi Ward have never lost a fight.
The reason why Adachi Ward is like this is that the defective rate here is much higher than that of other wards in Tokyo. The good thing is that the rent is cheap and the cost of living is relatively low.
Hideki Ishihara drove to Takenozuka in Adachi Ward with Misako Torii in his car. This place is also considered to be a gathering place for Filipinos in Tokyo.
According to that specific address, the two found a public rental apartment in Tokyo, although the floor is not high, only three floors, but from the outside, it looks like the style of the early 80s of the last century.
Today, it has been nearly 40 years. Japanese people who live in such a place tend to be low-income people.
Hideki Ishihara stopped in front of a room on the ground floor and said to Misako Torii, "It's here, right?" β
Misako Torii first looked at the house number and the nameplate with the surname Yoshida hanging on the side of the door of the house, and then looked down at the note she was holding in her right hand and said, "That's right." β
Hideki Ishihara then rang the doorbell. Twenty or thirty seconds later, the door was opened by a middle-aged woman. She looked at the two of them with wary eyes.
Hideki Ishihara opened his mouth and said, "Excuse me." Does Mr. Shinsuke Yoshida live here? β
The middle-aged woman nodded and said, "Yes." Who are you? β
Hideki Ishihara didn't answer, just looked at Misako Torii beside him. After hesitation, she opened her mouth and said, "I am his daughter." β
The middle-aged woman's eyes suddenly widened, and she said in surprise: "You are actually his daughter, why have I never heard him talk about it?" β
Misako Torii said calmly, "Is he at home?" β
From the moment she opened the door, the middle-aged woman noticed that the two strange young men in front of her were well-dressed and looked like rich people. She said again and again: "Yes, yes, please come in." β
Hideki Ishihara and Misako Torii stepped in. Not only did the two soon meet Shinsuke Yoshida, but they also met two other people at home.
When Shinsuke Yoshida saw Misako Torii, he was speechless in shock. He never expected his own daughter to come to the door.
It took a long time for Shinsuke Yoshida to come back to his senses. He had no idea what to say. I don't know why Misako Torii came here?
Misako Torii sat down face to face with him, and after a few minutes of silence, she opened her mouth again and said, "I'm getting married." I hope you will be able to attend my wedding. β
Shinsuke Yoshida obviously smiled bitterly with self-deprecation: "It's really inappropriate for a loser like me to appear at your wedding!" I'm sure your mom doesn't want to see me again. β
Misako Torii saw her biological father fall so far, but she was not surprised at all. Before she came, she knew all about it.
I still want to come so that I can hold my father's hand and appear on the wedding day. Even if she, a father, does not shoulder the responsibilities of a father, she can't deny that the other party is her biological father.
Shinsuke Yoshida looked at Hideki Ishihara and said, "Your marriage partner should be him." β
Hideki Ishihara took the initiative to introduce himself: "Hello, uncle. My name is Hideki Ishihara, Misako's fiancΓ©. β
Shinsuke Yoshida muttered for a moment and said, "Ishihara, you are surnamed Ishihara. Could it be that you are the son of Masao Ishihara? β
Hideki Ishihara replied seriously: "My father is indeed Masao Ishihara. β
Shinsuke Yoshida suddenly smiled very bitterly and said: "The marriage that the two of them have not completed in their lives has been made up for by their respective children."
Haruka Torii's favorite man in her life is really him, Masao Ishihara. At first, no matter what I tried, I didn't get the slightest response from her. β
Misako Torii said bluntly, "My mom always knew about what you did for her. β
Shinsuke Yoshida slowly raised his right hand and made a gesture, "She knows what's the use." Your mother has never loved me in her life, not even a little bite.
If my current destitute appearance were seen by your mother, it would only make her more and more disgusting in her heart. β
Misako Torii defended her mother: "My mother is definitely not what you say. It seems that you still don't know her. β
Shinsuke Yoshida was directly speechless when she said this. The reason why he will fall into this field is all caused by the political scandal that was exposed back then.
He has changed from a rising star in the political arena to a direct fall. For a professional politician, the end of his political life is the complete end of his life.
Since then, his bad luck has not stopped. First of all, he was completely abandoned by his party. Secondly, he was born into a political family and was abandoned by his family.
In the end, it was to divorce Haruka Torii. Having lost all this, he not only became a commoner, but also fell to the bottom of society.
Hideki Ishihara said seriously: "Uncle, the grievances and grievances of your previous generation have already passed for more than twenty years. Even if you still can't let go of it in your heart, it doesn't prevent you from being Misako's biological father. Misako would like you to be able to attend our wedding. β
Shinsuke Yoshida said straightforwardly, "After so many years, why didn't you come to visit me?" β
Misako Torii didn't feel the slightest bit unreasonable, and asked rhetorically, "Have you ever come to visit me for so many years?" β
Shinsuke Yoshida was speechless when asked again. From the beginning, the union between himself and Haruka Torii was a political marriage. The two are completely based on family interests, not love.
When he joined the Torii family, he took a fancy to the huge financial resources of his father-in-law's family and the Torii family, as well as various resources. If he has a strong support from the Torii family, then he will be like a tiger in the political arena.
In the future, he entered the cabinet as a minister, and even became the prime minister, which greatly increased his chances. And for the Torii family, of course, he is valuable.
But everything changed from that political scandal. Once you lose your value, it is natural to be abandoned by all parties.
