He said lonely.
Oh, Grandfather, that’s not the case
Ruriko said kindly.
Our Grandfather is only one in this world
That’s right.
Jii-chan needs to abandon his illicit love for Ruriko.
They need to return to their normal Grandfather-Granddaughter relationship.
Yes, I see. indeed, I’m your Grandfather
Jii-chan says as if persuading himself.
HOwever, you seem to have gone to a place I can’t reach
He looks at the bewitching Ruriko and speaks heartily.
I am no longer a person that must be loved by protecting
Ruriko tells her Grandfather clearly.
I also have people I must protect. People I love
That’s Ruriko’s independence proclamation.
Jii-chan.
I see. it seems to be my complete defeat
He looked at me and smiled wryly.
If he’s competing as a man then that evaluation might be appropriate, but.
That’s not it, Jii-chan. Jii-chan hasn’t lost anything. Look, your three Granddaughters are in front of you
I said.
Isn’t that just happy? Everyone loves Jii-chan
The Granddaughters love their Grandfather.
That’s just sophism, but it doesn’t feel bad
Ruriko lost control over Ruriko.
Ruriko’s already free.
Jii-chan can no longer isolate her from the other men.
While she was under his control, he’s able to love Ruriko as a man secretly.
But.
Ruriko, you’ve become an elegant woman Yes, I’m loved, and I’m also giving my love
Ruriko became my woman and chose me.
Ruriko’s bewitching looks shows that she has become a mature woman.
Jii-chan is no longer allowed to love Ruriko as a woman.
Hmm, It can’t be helped Grandfather
Ruriko kisses her Grandfather’s cheek.
That’s the limit of expression of love allowed by Grandfather-Granddaughter relationship.
Yoshiko-san, we’ll be together from now on. It’s okay now
Misuzu tells Yoshiko-san
As soon as the party gets in the talks, a lot of people will come to greet us. Let us deal with them
Ruriko tells Yoshiko-san.
There may be some of them unkind, but I’ll teach you how to handle them
Misuzu smiles.
Yes, my best regards
Yoshiko-san’s relieved.
She seems to be happy from the bottom of her heart that Misuzu and Ruriko came.
The Prime Minister continues his greetings on the podium.
Uhm, what’s the matter?
Kouzuki Kenshi asks me.
Do you not get it from watching?
I said.
It means that everything’s settled, that there are no more problems
Kouzuki Kenshi:
I mean, I don’t get that. What everyone said is very abstract and ambiguous
Err.
Why did Misuzu-sama and Ruriko-sama present flowers? I mean, why are they wearing such exposed dress for today? Also, why is Ruriko-sama who should’ve displeased Kakka talking to him so casually?
Oh, right.
He’s s mart, but.
He doesn’t understand sympathy at all.
Yeah, I’m glad that he can’t read the atmosphere.
You see, this means that Ruriko and Jii-chan reconciliated. The successors of Kouzuki house will have Misuzu, Ruriko, and Yoshiko-san. Tell it to the branch family and the executives
I said.
If this guy explains then the people from the branch families and the executives won’t understand what happened at all.
Anyway, Kouzuki house is at peace now
I smile at Kenshi.
Chapter 553
Chapter 553. Nomics
No, that’s not it
Jii-chan turns to Kouzuki Kenshi and me, showing a harsh look.
Huh?
Jii-chan what do you mean?
Could it be that you’re trying to say that you still don’t recognize Ruriko as your granddaughter?
Ruriko and Yoshiko-san are both nervous.
Kenshi, tell the branch family and the executives what I’m about to say
Jii-chan shows a straight face.
yes!
Kouzuki Kenshi replies to Jii-chan.
I will take Misuzu and Ruriko as my adopted daughters
He tells Kouzuki Kenshi clearly.
As they’re my adopted daughters, my legacy will be passed directly to these two. Misuzu’s father, Shigefuyu has already promised to abandon his inheritance
Jii-chan said. Kenshi’s surprised.
That means: these two will be the successors of Kouzuki house That’s right, Kouzuki house’s fortunes and assets, the land and shares will all be passed to Misuzu and Ruriko
Jii-chan jumped over his first-generation sons and directly passed his lineage to Misuzu and Ruriko.
What about Yoshiko-sama?
Kouzuki Kenshi asks.
I will give Yoshiko assets that won’t let her have problems for her daily life. But, that’s all. I won’t be giving Yoshiko any fortunes from the Kouzuki house. It’s just money. Tell them that as well
Jii-chan said.
Is that because Yoshiko-sama is Kouzuki Shigeharu’s love child?
Love Child?
Ah, illegitimate child.
That is not for you to think, all you need is to know that much. Therefore, here’s a hint
Jii-chan?
A while ago, Misuzu and Ruriko handed flowers to the Russian Congress member and the Prime Minister. Were you watching? Yes, I was watching
Kouzuki Kenshi replies
The stage still has the Prime Minister giving a long speech.
The situation has changed with that. No, Misuzu and Ruriko changed the situation with their own hands, do you understand? Uhm, what does that mean?
Kouzuki Kenshi’s completely confused by Jii-chan’s pace.
If the scene where the two pass the flowers is used in the news, it will be a big topic. No, I’ll talk to the media and make sure that it will become the news The two of them? Yes, Kouzuki house, a distinguished house in Japan has two beauties as their successors. That will be the report delivered
Misuzu and Ruriko will be shown in the media?
No one other than the political and business world knows Kouzuki so far because we purposely didn’t show to the public. I will revise that idea
Jii-chan?
We will put these two in highlight. The daughters I raised with elegance and grace, suited for a traditional family will surely grab the people’s attention Why would you do that?
Kouzuki Kenshi can’t understand Jii-chan’s thoughts at all.
Well, I don’t either.
Misuzu and Ruriko remain calm.
Do you still not understand? I thought that you were a capable man, Kenshi I’m very sorry If we put Misuzu and Ruriko in the spotlight, then that would mean that Kouzuki house and the companies of Kouzuki group will gather the public’s attention I think so too
Kouzuki Kenshi’s working hard to understand Jii-chan’s talk.
Oh, if we gather the public’s attention then the people in the group will have to correct their attitude. Nobody wants to do anything disgraceful
Jii-chan laughs.
What do you think is the current problem of Kouzuki group?
Kouzuki Kenshi:
Kakka has announced his retirement. Therefore, the group is in unrest
He answered right away.
Umu that is right. They wonder if the shift of work from me to Shiba-kun will go well. Some of the branch family members don’t like Shiba-kun who’s an outsider that much. On the other hand, among the outsiders, Shiba-kun has become their representative, and it will cause a significant reform within the group at the same time, some may think of driving away the branch family In Kouzuki group, the branch family and the rising power are in conflict.
Jii-chan chose Shiba Okitachi from the rising faction as the next manager, however.
And that’s where Misuzu and Ruriko comes in
Jii-chan?
If the public sees the two as successors of a traditional name, then the people in Kouzuki house can’t be selfish
Oh, I see.
The branch family will swear allegiance to Misuzu and Ruriko more than ever. Even the outsiders will not be able to make unreasonable reforms. They’ll realize that the tradition and trust within the distinguished family, Kouzuki house is the source of power of Kouzuki group
