Chapter 197 Reunion
Chapter 197 Reunion
She absolutely cannot leave until Zhulan can stand on her own. Besides, even if she hands over the family business to Zhulan, she still has to stay with her mother.
Her brother and sister-in-law have passed away. She is her mother's only daughter, so she can no longer be as willful as she was when she was young!
Even if that incident had not happened, she would have returned to Sinnoh, because she could not let her mother and her young niece face those wolves and tigers who coveted the family property.
That's why she can figure it out now.
After all, her reasons for leaving were not simple.
"Madam...Alas!" The old butler looked at Junko and wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed helplessly and asked them to sit down.
He was left behind by the master's mother and was an old man who had been with the master for a long time. He naturally knew her temper as he had lived with her for a long time. Any decision made by her would not be changed so easily.
In this respect, the lady is very similar to the head of the family. It is no wonder that the two of them gave birth to a daughter with the same personality as her.
After the old butler poured tea for Junko and Qingyi, he retreated respectfully.
He was just about to call Sakaki to pass on a message when he saw Sakaki walking in from the front door.
The old butler stepped forward and bowed, saying respectfully: "Master, the eldest lady is back, and..."
Before he could finish his words, Sakaki strode away.
When Sakaki heard that Qingyi had returned, he was surprised and couldn't wait to see his daughter.
This girl had said that she would be back soon, but he didn't expect that she would come back no matter how long he waited here. It was not until the quartz conference was about to start that he heard the news that the little girl had returned.
What a little liar, he just makes big promises to people.
But she was his precious daughter, what else could he do? He could only spoil her!
Thinking of this, Sakaki's cold face softened, with a doting smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Yiyi, after being away for two months, you finally decided to come back!" Sakaki walked into the hall and saw only two backs, so he spoke.
Qingyi stood up and turned around, smiling sweetly, "Dad, I'm back!"
When Junko heard Sakaki's voice, her body suddenly stiffened. After Qingyi finished speaking, she also stood up and slowly turned around to look at Sakaki.
The moment he saw Junko, Sakaki no longer bothered to talk to his daughter. He just stared at Junko with an expression of disbelief.
He has never forgotten this stunning figure in the past ten years. In fact, as time goes by, it becomes clearer and clearer, making him obsessed with it!
He thought that Junko would never set foot in Kanto again, but he didn't expect to see her at home today!
It’s because of Yiyi!
Even so, he was very happy to see that she was still willing to return to the place where they once lived together, and the excitement in his heart was simply beyond expression.
"Junko, have you been doing well these years?"
As he spoke, Sakaki walked over step by step. He had so much to say, but he didn't know where to start. Thousands of words finally converged into the most ordinary greeting.
Junko's heart was also restless, she knew that she had never let go of this relationship all these years, her mother was right, she had always been obsessed with this man.
She thought she could face it calmly after figuring it out, but when she saw him again, her inner emotions were totally out of her control and burst out all at once!
Various emotions intertwined together made her feel uncomfortable. She felt extremely upset, her nose was sore, and she almost cried.
But she didn't want to show her vulnerable side in front of Sakaki, so she tried hard to hold back her tears. This caused her eyes to turn slightly red, with crystal tears flashing in the corners of her eyes. Her resolute look of not wanting to cry was really pitiful!
Qingyi had never expected that her always strong mother would have such a pitiful side. It really opened her eyes.
Is it because of dad?
Sure enough, they are true love!
Looking at her parents who were looking at each other affectionately, Qingyi stepped back silently and tiptoed upstairs without making any sound.
Otherwise, she would have to stand here at such a grown-up level. When the two people who have not seen each other for a long time are expressing their love to each other, they suddenly remember that they have a daughter like her, thus ruining such a good atmosphere. That would be her fault!
"Good or bad, it doesn't matter anymore!"
Junko suppressed the emotions in her heart and tried to make her voice sound calm.
But she was still not calm, and her voice was trembling slightly, which made Sakaki feel distressed.
He said: "How can it not be important? No matter what, I hope you live a happy life!"
"Ha!" Hearing this, Junko couldn't help but laugh sarcastically and asked, "If that's the case, why did you insist on doing it that way?"
A good family is torn apart. Will she be happy? Will she be happy?
"A few years ago, you could become the leader of the Tokiwa Gym for your daughter. Now, you can also make Team Rocket change for your daughter!"
"Then why were you unwilling to do this for your daughter ten years ago?"
"You can obviously do it, why didn't you do it earlier?"
"If you had done this earlier, we..." Even though we will still separate, we won't have to suffer so much in our hearts, and we won't suffer so much!
Junko didn't say the rest of the words out loud, she just recited them silently in her heart.
"I..." Sakaki was speechless. He was possessed by the devil at the beginning. He was unwilling to give up his ambition for Team Rocket, and was also unwilling to listen to Junko's advice and get a public identity.
It was because he was too persistent that they were separated for ten years. It was his fault!
"Junko, I know I was wrong back then, and now I regret it!" Sakaki walked a little closer and looked at Junko with pleading eyes, "Come back, please?"
"I can't come back!" Junko shook her head, wiped away the tears that had already flowed, and sat back on the sofa.
Seeing this, Sakaki also sat down and asked anxiously, "Why? Junko, are you still blaming me and unwilling to forgive me?"
Junko nodded, then shook her head, "I still blame you, but it's not all because of you!"
"Then what's the other reason?" Sakaki desperately wanted to know the other reason why Junko didn't want to come back so that he could think of a countermeasure.
Junko thought about it and decided to tell him the reason.
"To tell you the truth, even without your insistence, I would have returned to Sinnoh in no time!"
"My brother and sister-in-law passed away unexpectedly, my mother is not good at managing company affairs, and my niece is still young!"
"If I don't go back, my huge family business will probably fall apart and be divided up by other families without leaving anything behind!"
Although the Youto family is also a top-notch family, it has few members. Since the death of their father, they have been relying on their brother to support the family. Later, with the coming of their sister-in-law, the couple worked together to take the family to a higher level.
But the good times did not last long. Her brother and sister-in-law also passed away, and the only one who could take over was her married daughter.
Fortunately, she, like her brother, inherited their father’s talent in finance, which prevented the family from declining!
"I couldn't just stand there and watch my mother and young niece struggling. I had to go back!"
After hearing this, Sakaki understood Junko very well and put himself in her shoes. If it were him, he would also go back and would never let the foundation of several generations be destroyed.
But, all this has passed, and we have already gone through that difficult time. Why is Junko still unwilling to come back?
Unable to figure it out, he asked, "What does this have to do with your return? Now, Zhulan has grown up and won the honor of champion. She can definitely take over the family!"
Junko shook her head. "Zhulan's skills are still immature now. She needs to wait a few more years!"
"Besides, I also want to be with my mother!"
"After I turned ten, I went out to travel around the world and seldom went home. After I met you, I went home even less often. After I married you, I never went home at all!"
"Now, I don't want to leave my mother anymore!"
The tree wants to be still but does not stop, the son wants to take care of his parents but is no longer there, she understands this truth and she doesn't want to have any regrets in the future!
Is this the reason?
Sakaki thought about it secretly and hurriedly suggested, "This is not a problem at all. If you come back, we can bring mother-in-law to live with us!"
"No!" Junko rejected this suggestion without even thinking about it, "Mother won't come to Kanto!"
If my brother were still alive, my mother might consider it, but my brother is no longer here, and my mother will not leave Zhulan alone in Sinnoh.
But then again, if my brother were still alive, the situation would probably be very different now!
"Sakaki, we can't go back to the past. You can't let go of Team Rocket, and I can't let go of my mother and family. We all have concerns, and we can't act willfully!"
"Oh, I was wrong. You have always been so rational. From the beginning to the end, I was the only one who was willful!"
"But now none of this matters. Seeing that I can change for Yiyi, although I still resent you a little, my anger has almost subsided. As long as you treat Yiyi well in the future, don't mention the past!"
After saying so much, Junko found that she had calmed down and could speak calmly.
Sakaki pursed his lips tightly. He didn't want to be separated from Junko again, but what Junko said was true.
He is willing to change the Rockets, but there is absolutely no way he will give up the Rockets. This is the business left by his mother, and he only wants to carry it forward.
Since Junko doesn't want to, then forget it. He can't force her.
However, he also has a daughter, so there is a lot of room for maneuver!
Although his daughter does not have his last name, Junko has long regarded Takeran as the heir to the family, so his daughter can only inherit his Team Rocket in the future.
So, Sakaki sighed, "I respect your wishes. It seems that I have to train Yiyi well and let her take over Team Rocket as soon as possible!"
This way he can resign as soon as possible and go to Sinnoh to find Junko.
If the mountain doesn't come, I'll go to the mountain!
My dear daughter, daddy's happy life depends on you to save it, so you must work hard!
Sakaki said this, but Junko didn't change her hope. Instead, she looked at him with a puzzled look, "Do you have any misunderstandings about your daughter? She has been in Kanto for so long, don't you know that she is not good at general affairs?"
Humph, this guy has been secretly contacting Yiyi behind her back, and he doesn’t even know which attributes his daughter has activated!
Sakaki was shocked, his eyes widened, not knowing what to do, he really didn't know!
"Ah, this...isn't possible?"
Although Junko looked confident, Sakaki still didn't want to believe it.
He and Junko are both top-notch experts in this area. As their daughter, he naturally thinks that she should be better than them. After all, she is a Pokémon trainer.
But now Junko actually told him that their daughter didn't have this talent!
Oh my God, what terrible news is this? Come on, let’s send some thunder and just kill him!
Seeing his disbelieving expression, Junko crossed her arms and said, "Yiyi, you only inherited our talent as a Pokémon trainer. You are so far ahead of the others!"
