Tokyo Bubble Life

Chapters 1560 and 1569: She's gone mad! This woman is absolutely insane!

The weather was cold, and residents didn't like to go out except for work or shopping, making the seaside town of Shizuoka feel somewhat deserted.

On this morning, a black, boxy car with a bulky rear cargo box slowly pulled up in front of an old house in Shizuoka.

The snow in front of the old house and in the yard had been swept aside, but a thin layer of snow remained on the roof, and wisps of white smoke drifted from the chimney, giving a sense of life.

After the car came to a complete stop, Xia Hua, who had taken a nap, quickly rolled down the window and shouted loudly towards the old house:

"Uncle, Auntie~ Flower sauce is here!!"

The shout was particularly loud in the quiet little town, waking up little Lian who was still sleeping in the car, as well as Yingtaro and Miaotaro who had been lying in the back seat. Suddenly, shouts, cries, and barks mingled together, creating a lively scene!

The door to the old house opened quickly, and Nanako Nagayama, wearing a coat, led the way, followed by Ken Nagayama, and Tsuruko, who was peeking out from the doorway. Tsuruko had returned ahead of time!

"Flower jam!"

With a smile on her face, the mother, Nanako, first leaned over to the car window, reached out and picked up the little one, kissed her a few times, and showed affection to Natsuka, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

The father, Ken Nagayama, followed behind, wanting to get closer but unsure how. He rubbed his hands together in his coat pockets a few times before finally going to the open trunk to get the luggage.

Naoki Nagayama had already gotten out of the car, and Akina from the back seat also got out, holding little Ren, who had just stopped crying.

When they moved to the back of the car, the father, Kenjiro Nagayama, was skillfully stroking Eitaro's head, looking much more relaxed than before when he seemed at a loss.

"Eitaro really does remember his father! He even brought Nyantaro back this time!"

Naoki Nagayama called out towards the old house while reaching for his luggage.

"Tsuruko, come help me! Otherwise, you won't get your present!"

"Hi hi hi~"

Tsuruko followed the scent of the gift and came out. As she passed by Natsuka's mother, who was holding Natsuka, and Akina, who was holding Ren, she gently touched the two little ones' faces.

However, when they got to the back of the train, Tsuruko was somewhat surprised:

"Ni-chan, you bought a new car again?!"

"Oh, this car!"

Naoki Nagayama looked at the black Nissan Cedric 6 and nodded.

"After having Hana-chan and Little Lotus, the space was a bit small to accommodate Eitaro, Nyan-taro, and other things, so I bought a wagon."

Actually, he noticed this Nissan Y30 Cedric wagon while investigating Nissan's plans for tree enthusiasts. Nissan cars of that era were indeed quite good, with a seven-seat layout, panoramic rear window, and cloth seats.

So even though he didn't get along with Nissan, Naoki Nagayama still bought one. What does it have to do with being a bad person or having technical skills?

"I see~"

Tsuruko reached out and took Nyantaro's airline crate, then picked up a bag and walked with the others toward the old house.

After they had the money, the old house underwent upgrades and renovations. Even just for the sake of their children and grandchildren returning a few times a year, the parents were willing to spend money on the heating system for the old house.

Now, once you open the door, the whole house is heated; the living room and the tatami room are cozy and warm, just like at Yamazakura-in.

After opening the carrier, Nyantaro, still a little tipsy from inhaling catnip, wobbled around until he found the most comfortable soft mat and started rolling around.

Meanwhile, Eitaro, along with the liberated Natsuka, excitedly began exploring the old house. Their father, Nagayama Ken, watched over them from a distance, his eyes narrowed.

In the living room, Nanako, the mother, held and comforted little Ren, while the others chatted over hot tea.

"Ni-chan came back a little earlier this time!"

Tsuruko flipped through her gift: a pink cell phone. Naoki Nagayama liked to use the latest technology as gifts because they could be upgraded quickly, so he could buy a new one as a gift next time without having to worry about what to buy!

Of course, this only works for young people.

"Yes."

Naoki Nagayama nodded.

"Anyway, there's nothing else to do in Tokyo. And..."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Akina, making her turn her face away somewhat embarrassed.

"And what?"

"It's just that Huajiang and Lianjiang miss their grandparents!"

Naoki Nagayama continued,

"I want to spend more time with my grandparents!"

"Hahaha~"

Hearing this, Mother Nanako was overjoyed! She hugged little Ren tightly and said with a smile:

"Is Lianjiang missing her grandma even though she's so young?"

Little Lian didn't really have much of an impression of his grandparents, but the embrace was warm and comfortable, so he didn't resist! The little guy reached out and touched his mother Nanako's face, making a few muffled "ah ah" sounds as a sign of approval!

Haha! You seem to really like it~

Tsuruko curiously reached out to tease him, and then little Ren buried his head in his mother Nanako's neck. He didn't want to face this woman who would touch him the moment she saw him!

"Why are they hiding from people!"

However, Aunt Hezi's enthusiasm was the kind that burst through the door; Little Lian only felt her face turn away, but her little feet and hands were grabbed and shaken around~

"."

Akina didn't say much while watching this scene. She would probably have to rely on her mother-in-law and sister-in-law for a while!

Naoki Nagayama continued the conversation:

"How are things at your brother's house now? What about Yecao and Dongwu?"

"Them."

Tsuruko spoke up.

"The family is preparing food for the New Year! They said they're going to the family temple in Qingshui to make a pilgrimage this year!"

"Qingshui Family Temple"

Naoki Nagayama thought of the family temple with its ascetic monks and continued,

"Oh right, I came back with Brother Feng this time! We parted ways at the fork in the road; they went to Qingshui City!"

"Feng is back too!"

Nanako, the mother, glanced at Naoki Nagayama in surprise.

"Is he as free as Naoki?!"

"What?! What do you mean I'm free?! I'm very busy, okay?!"

Naoki Nagayama immediately said,

"I'm busy making movies, planning events, and keeping an eye on the company. I'm busy all year round!"

"."

The women were all busy doing this and that, and didn't respond to his words.

Although Naoki Nagayama has indeed achieved great success, he doesn't actually seem that busy. At least, I've rarely seen him working overtime or staying out late!

Even when Nanako Nagayama and Tsuruko went to visit him, Naoki Nagayama didn't seem particularly busy.

But this seemingly idle guy actually created quite a thriving business!

"OK OK!"

Nanako, the mother, changed the subject.

"You must be tired from driving all morning, go and rest first. I'll call you for lunch!"

"Hmm, that works too~"

Naoki Nagayama nodded; driving for two hours was indeed a bit tiring.

"Akina, would you like to rest together?"

"!"

Akina quickly shook her head. As a daughter-in-law, how could she possibly rest immediately after arriving home?

"I'm not tired, I can help Mom make lunch!"

Okay~

Naoki Nagayama, alone in his bedroom, looked at the small space with a sense of melancholy. His mother had already cleaned it, and the bedding was soft and fluffy from being aired out.

Not feeling sleepy at the moment, Naoki Nagayama sat at his desk, flipping through photos of his childhood belongings, toys, and the like. He had seen them in his memory before, and looking at them now brought him a lot of emotions.

At that moment, with the sound of light, quick footsteps, a small figure pulled open the paper door and ran towards Naoki Nagayama, climbing up his legs:

"Dad, what are you doing hiding here?"

I'm looking at photo albums.

Naoki Nagayama glanced back and saw his father, Ken Nagayama, holding Eitaro's hand, preventing him from entering. Upon seeing Naoki, Ken said:

"Since you're sleeping here tonight, we won't let Eitaro in."

"Yes, hello~"

"."

After a pause, Ken Nagayama, unsure of what to say, simply nodded.

"I'm leaving the flower sauce to you. I'm going to take Eitaro for a walk!"

"Hi~~"

After his taciturn father left, Naoki Nagayama hugged Natsuka, who was curiously looking at the photo album, and continued looking at it.

This is what Dad looked like when he was a child.

"."

Xia Hua looked at the dull-looking figure in the photo, then turned to look at her elderly father.

"Not at all!"

"."

Indeed, the Naoki Nagayama in the photo and the current Naoki Nagayama only share some similarities in facial features. Other aspects have changed drastically. Naoki Nagayama believes this may be due to the fusion of souls and the influence of his current wealth and status.

And then there's the hairstyle! The watermelon head in the photo looks awful!

People change as they grow up!

Naoki Nagayama said to Hana-chan,

"Just like flower jam, you'll make it when you grow up!"

"Then I want to become beautiful!"

"Haha, definitely!"

Children from wealthy families, unless they are born with very poor features, generally don't have unattractive outfits or styles. Another reason is that they have access to the best medical care from a young age, such as orthodontic treatment, treatment of salivary gland issues, and skin problems.

The father and daughter stayed in the small bedroom for quite a while until Akina came up and called them downstairs for lunch!

As Akina led Natsuka downstairs, she approached Naoki Nagayama and asked:

"Naoki-san, how do we tell Mom and Dad about that?"

"Don't worry, I'll find time!"

"What about Tsuruko?"

"I absolutely will not let Tsuruko follow!"

When Naoki Nagayama returned to his hometown, another couple also returned to their rural hometown.

Mitsuko Miyazawa and Rie Miyazawa, carrying many gifts, arrived at their aunt's house in the countryside. Mitsuko Miyazawa's face was filled with pride and satisfaction.

"These are the most fashionable clothes I bought in Tokyo! And cosmetics too!! You've definitely never seen anything like them before!"

"And these too."

She introduced each gift one by one, even though Rie Miyazawa had paid for them all, it was all about saving face for her now!

Previously, she had a very bad reputation in her hometown. She worked as a hostess at a young age, had a daughter with a foreigner, and was left unattended in her aunt's house since she was a child. In short, she had a terrible reputation!

So she rarely comes back; this time, it was only at Rie Miyazawa's insistence that she returned for the New Year.

"Arigato~"

My aunt was an honest country woman; she praised the gift a few times and then accepted it.

Seeing Rie Miyazawa's current appearance, he was very happy and asked:

"Rie-chan, how are you doing in Tokyo? Is work tough?"

"Hi!"

Rie Miyazawa felt a surge of warmth. This aunt truly treated her like a daughter. Although conditions in the countryside weren't great, they were at least well-fed and clothed.

"Working at a law firm is indeed tough, but it also has its comforts."

"That's good, that's good~"

"Do you have someone you like?"

"Oh, I don't want to think about that right now!"

Mitsuko Miyazawa felt slightly annoyed seeing the two talking so intimately, but ultimately said nothing. She felt a little ashamed towards her older sister.

After staying at her sister's house for a while, she said she would have dinner together during the New Year, and then dragged Miyazawa Rie to visit other relatives. She said she came back to show off!

As for where to stay

"The ancestral home is completely ruined."

Looking at the old house overgrown with weeds, Mitsuko Miyazawa felt no sadness. It was just a dilapidated country house left by her deceased parents; she had never considered returning to live there decades ago.

"Let's just stay in a hotel!"

"This"

Rie Miyazawa had originally planned to stay at her aunt's house for a few days, since there were plenty of rooms in the country house, and it was only proper to spend the New Year at home. But judging from her mother's expression, she knew she wouldn't be able to stay!

"Okay. The hotel is too far. Let's see if there are any vacant rooms available for rent nearby!"

This is the countryside, there are many houses, and many people are willing to earn a little extra money before the Lunar New Year.

"Row!"

Mitsuko Miyazawa and Rie Miyazawa searched for an apartment while greeting acquaintances. Her expensive fur coat made her look like a plump animal fattened up for winter.

As they walked, Mitsuko Miyazawa suddenly said:

"Rie-chan, you should leave Tree Friends after the New Year!"

"?! Didn't I say no?!"

Rie Miyazawa retorted,

"What's wrong with Shuyou?! Naoki-san has always been incredibly good to me."

"It just won't work!"

Mitsuko Miyazawa said loudly,

"I knew it all along, Naoki Nagayama was up to no good. He definitely had bad intentions because you're pretty!!"

"???!!"

Rie Miyazawa was so surprised that her mouth dropped open.

"Naoki-san? To me?! Yeah, right!!"

There's one more thing Rie Miyazawa didn't say, but if she had, she would have loved it! Naoki-san is so handsome!

"Yes! He's definitely eyeing you! When you're alone with him, you've probably been taken advantage of quite a bit!"

"No way?! Naoki-san and I have never spent time alone together!!"

Mitsuko Miyazawa's eyes widened:

"?! How is that possible?! You're such a famous and beautiful celebrity, how come Naoki Nagayama has never spoken to you alone?"

In her eyes, all men are lustful and their minds are filled with only that kind of thing!

"."

Rie Miyazawa was speechless.

You think I'm pretty, but in Naoki's eyes, there are all kinds of beauties in the entertainment industry, plump and slender!

However, thinking about her plans with Sony and Kishimoto, Mitsuko Miyazawa said firmly:

"Even if you didn't, you definitely did! Rie-chan, remember this: you must have spent time alone with someone!"

"And what's more, Naoki Nagayama made unwanted advances towards you!!"

Rie Miyazawa simply couldn't understand it:

"Ogasan, what's wrong with you?"

"."

Mitsuko Miyazawa paused for a moment, then said directly,

"I will file a lawsuit early next year against Naoki Nagayama for sexually harassing underage entertainers!! And for preventing mothers and daughters from having contact!!"

"!!!"

Rie Miyazawa's eyes widened.

"Ogasan, what nonsense are you spouting?! Do you know the consequences of doing this?!"

"No nonsense!!"

Mitsuko Miyazawa made up her mind.

"I'm going to sue!!"

"Rie, you have to help me!!"

"I'm going to make Naoki Nagayama pay me a huge sum of money!! Then we can both be financially independent!"

Looking at her mother, Rie Miyazawa felt that she must have gone mad!

"You're going crazy! I'm taking you to see a doctor!"

"I'm not crazy!"

Miyazawa Mitsuko shook off her hand and sneered.

"To tell you the truth, I've already secured a major financial backer. He'll help me spread this news throughout Japan!!"

"Everyone will know then that Naoki Nagayama is a scumbag who sexually harasses minors!!"

"Then you can also leave your tree friends!!"

"You...you...you."

Rie Miyazawa was speechless, and with the last shred of her sanity, she asked,

"That's impossible! Don't even mention I won't help you; even if I lie or give false testimony, I still won't succeed!!"

"These things aren't about whether they succeed in the end! It's useless if you don't help."

I am your mother, and I can sue on your behalf in your name!

And are you going to watch me go to jail?!

Mitsuko Miyazawa recalled Yamato Kishimoto's words and said excitedly:

"Once this mud is thrown in Naoki Nagayama's face, he'll never be able to clean it up!! The entertainment industry will match us with some powerful teammates!"

Even if he is eventually found innocent, so what? The damage has already been done!

"Rie, you can't stay at Tree Friends anymore!!"

"."

Hearing her mother's words, Rie Miyazawa felt her head buzzing and her whole body go weak. She collapsed onto the snow.

How could you do this?

Whether she succeeds or not, her future is definitely ruined!!

"You are my mother!!"

"Hmph! I'm your mother? Then why don't you give me the money?!"

Mitsuko Miyazawa's expression was somewhat distorted, a mixture of controlling desire and a thirst for money.

"Besides, I'm doing this for your own good!!"

"Since you signed the contract, your friends have been putting you on hold for so long. If it were me, your magazine and photobook would definitely be bestsellers!"

"You still have opportunities, but you have to fight for them yourself. Directors and producers will definitely be able to see your potential!"

"As long as you communicate with them properly."

"."

Rie Miyazawa couldn't hear the rest of what she was saying. She was completely stunned by her mother's viciousness!

"You won't succeed!"

"Ha! Just you wait!"

Mitsuko Miyazawa's expression was fanatical and twisted as she spoke in a resentful tone,

"Those guys from the Tree Friends group don't even give me a second glance! I'll show them I'm not someone to mess with!"

This woman is insane! She's absolutely insane!! (End of Chapter)
