Chapter 243 The Desolation of Kinomoto

Chapter 236 The Desolation of Kinomoto

"How could it be you! Mr. Kinomoto!"

When Daidouji Sonomi saw who Sakura's father was, she looked as if she had seen a ghost and even took a half step back.

The fact that this strong woman, who has seen all sorts of big scenes, could feel such a huge shock is enough to show how shocked she was.

"Huh?"

Upon seeing who was standing in front of him, Fujitaka was momentarily stunned, adjusting his glasses: "Sonomi? What are you doing here?"

The two of them stared at each other, a strange atmosphere mixed with a bit of surprise and tension growing and spreading between them.

Someone who didn't know better might think they were enemies meeting, but they didn't just look like enemies.

It seems there are many complex emotions involved.

Wang Changsheng looked at the two of them without saying a word, simply watching the show unfold.

But just then, the little wolf suddenly spoke up and said to him, "Thank you so much for your hospitality. I'll bring you even more delicious food next time to thank you. Yamazaki said I should come with him to clean the classroom after lunch and check if any students are hurt, so I won't bother you any longer."

Wang Changsheng: "Uh... okay, then Little Wolf, you should go quickly. Thank you for your hard work."

Little Wolf was still thinking about how he had only taken out one bento box earlier.

What a stingy wolf! ╮(￣⊿￣)╭~

And why does he need to go to the classroom to clean right now?

Didn't that big liar Yamazaki already trick him into being on duty for a day last time?

How long has it been since?

Even if you go through everyone in the class, it still won't be his turn.

Why did this guy listen to Yamazaki's nonsense again and become a monitor... especially for the sports meet...?

Because most of the students went out to either participate in or watch competitions with their parents.

There aren't enough benches for all the students, so many students bring their own benches outside so their parents can sit on them when they're tired.

After all, not everyone is happy to sit on the lawn.

Because moving tables, chairs, and benches around will inevitably make things look a bit chaotic.

The students on duty need to help take care of things and keep the classroom from becoming too messy.

So it's quite a hassle for Little Wolf to be tricked into being on duty today.

Wang Changsheng thought that it was probably because most of the other students in the class had their parents come over.

So the student on duty today asked Yamazaki for help. After learning about Syaoran's situation, Yamazaki realized that Syaoran had come here alone and that he wouldn't have any parents or friends with him. That's why Yamazaki tricked Syaoran into becoming the student on duty again.

Thinking of this, Wang Changsheng stroked his chin and nodded.

"Well, I guess this is serving the people. Anyway, Little Wolf came here alone, and he probably volunteered to be on duty, so I'd better not remind him."

He had witnessed Yamazaki's ability to deceive.

Little Wolf is actually a very opinionated little brat.

So his willingness to be on duty clearly stems from his genuine belief that Yamazaki agrees with some of his views.

Although Wang Changsheng had no idea how Yamazaki had tricked him again...

At this moment, Sakura's dad and Tomoyo's mom went a little further away to talk, probably about something they didn't want the kids to know.

However, the older brothers and sisters present had basically been cleansed by pure magic, and they had only walked a little over there and hadn't gone too far, so Wang Changsheng could hear it very clearly.

Of course, this was definitely not because he deliberately wanted to hear what the two of them were talking about with a gossipy mind...

"I've heard Sakura mention that Tomoyo's surname is Daidouji, but I never imagined that her mother would be you," Fujitaka said gently.

Sonomi changed her husband's surname to a completely unfamiliar one, so if they didn't meet, it would be impossible for him to know that Tomoyo's mother was her.

The Heavenly Palace Garden is beautiful.

At this moment, Sonoko also seemed to be a little troubled.

"Sakura...Sakura..." She gently rubbed her tightly furrowed brows. "Yes, I should have noticed sooner. Nadeshiko once said that if she ever had a daughter, she would definitely name her that!"

"Sakura... I'm so stupid, I actually overlooked something so important!" Sonomi was quite annoyed, thinking that she had been too careless and had forgotten something so important that Nadeshiko had told her.

But after only a moment, she suddenly raised her head again.

"But it's not entirely my fault. I never expected that this guy would actually have a daughter with Nadeshiko!"

As if she had thought of something, her imposing manner returned, and her bright red bodysuit accentuated her domineering presence.

"I will absolutely, absolutely, ever forgive you, man!"

Upon hearing Sonomi's resolute words, Fujitaka couldn't help but give a helpless, bitter smile.

Since Nadeshiko chose to sever ties with the Amamiya family in order to marry him, their two families have had no contact for many years.

This situation worsened after Nadeshiko's death, completely severing all ties.

This has continued for so many years, and it's still going on now.

So although Sonomi was once his student, he never contacted her.

Now that they have met again, and their children are even going to school together and becoming good friends, it shows that their two families are destined to be together.

Judging from Sonomi's attitude, it seems unlikely that the relationship between the two families will progress any further.

"Sigh, back then Nadeshiko was indeed in the same high school as me, and I had just become a teacher..." Fujitaka was about to say something, but was interrupted by Sonomi.

"That's right, that's right!"

As Tomoyo's mother was talking, she suddenly started angrily spinning around in circles. I don't know if she was getting emotional, but she seemed to be on the verge of going crazy...

Wang Changsheng stared blankly at the scene.

He didn't quite understand why someone would start spinning around while just talking.

Is it possible to express anger to the greatest extent possible through physical gestures...?

"That makes some sense."

Wang Changsheng suddenly remembered that in his previous life, some middle-aged women would also use a very powerful mental attack when they were arguing, which also required some physical actions.

Moreover, this kind of mental attack is extremely powerful. When those middle-aged women use it, they can basically crush their opponents and drive them away.

Unless he's fighting another old lady who can use this kind of mental attack...

"A rookie teacher actually fell in love with one of his students and even got married—who would believe that?!"

After spinning around in place, Yuanmei stomped her foot hard on the grass, even making a small dent.

She glared fiercely at Sakura's father and said, "And the person I'm marrying is my absolute, absolute, absolute favorite Nadeshiko!"

Yuanmei looked furious, and Wang Changsheng couldn't help but glance at the grass at her feet.

Poor little grass, it got trampled into a hole, and it looks like its roots were crushed. I don't even know if it's completely dead...

"I..." Fujitaka was a little confused when he saw Sonomi suddenly turn around, but after she finished speaking, he quickly showed a gentle smile and wanted to speak, but was interrupted again.

It seemed that Yuanmei didn't want to hear any of his explanations, or perhaps after so many years of not seeing him, she was now seeing him again, her former "enemy," and the anger that had been suppressed in her heart could no longer be controlled and was now about to be completely released.

Fortunately, she hadn't completely lost her mind. Considering that Sakura and Tomoyo were nearby, she didn't want their adult issues to affect the children.

So even though she was furious enough and wanted to yell and pounce on the man on the spot, biting off a piece of his flesh, she still kept her voice down.

"From kindergarten onwards, I've always, always, always been protecting Nadeshiko! Do you know that?!"

Her voice sounded trembling, as if it contained both overwhelming anger and utter heartbreak.

After saying just that one sentence, Yuanmei quickly turned around and looked up at the sky.

It seemed that if she didn't do this, her eyes would start to sweat.

"I know..." Fujitaka opened his mouth, having deeply felt these things during his subsequent interactions with Nadeshiko.

However, it seemed to Yuanmei had heard a huge joke.

She abruptly wiped her eyes, then took a deep breath, turned around again to face Fujitaka, her dark purple eyes, somewhat resembling Tomoyo's, glaring fiercely at him: "You knew?"

"Ah, I know..." Fujitaka was about to reply.

"How could you possibly know!" Sonomi roared, her voice low. "I chased away all the stinky boys who came near Nadeshiko, and in the end, you still managed to get away with it!"

Fujitaka: "I know, and I'm very grateful to you..."

"No, you don't know! You don't know anything!"

Fujitaka: "..."

"Not only do you know nothing, you even caused Nadeshiko to die at the age of twenty-seven!" Sonomi's voice sounded somewhat lonely and desolate from the bottom of her heart.

Upon hearing this, Fujitaka's expression finally stiffened, and the gentle smile that had been on his lips faltered slightly.

However, after a moment of silence, he still forced a smile.

But that smile seemed somewhat bitter.

"How can you still laugh?" Sonoko turned to the side, using her back to block Sakura and Tomoyo's view so the children couldn't see her current emotional changes.

She stretched out a hand as white as jade, pointing at Fujitaka and accusing him, "How can you still laugh!"

Looking at the furious woman in front of him, his former student, his wife's best friend, Fujitaka finally couldn't laugh anymore. The corners of his mouth gradually softened, but a faint curve could still be seen.

His eyes were fixed on Sonomi as he answered, word by word, "Because I promised Nadeshiko that from now on I would face everything with a smile."

"I promised her I wouldn't cry anymore."

Upon hearing Fujitaka's words, Sonomi was stunned.

She seemed surprised to receive such an answer, which was somewhat unexpected.

Her suppressed rage, which was like a volcano about to erupt, crumbled mostly because of his words.

But she still hated it, hated that Nadeshiko died in the prime of her life.

So, Yuanmei regained her composure and continued to glare at the other person with an angry expression: "...In short, I will never forgive you in this lifetime!"

She actually wanted to say something even more vicious.

But she wasn't that kind of person after all, and this man, in the end, was also Nadeshiko's husband and Sakura's father.

If Nadeshiko were still alive, she would surely be unhappy to see me say those vicious words to her, right?

So, in the end, she kept repeating the same thing.

However, this was already heavy enough for Fujitaka.

Because before she died, Nadeshiko had said that she hoped Fujitaka could bring Sakura along and reconcile with the Amamiya family.

At least let Sakura know that she still has such a great-grandfather.

He couldn't even get through the gates of the Tiangong Group. If the other party was unwilling to forgive him or meet him, how could he possibly bring Xiaoying to meet her family?

Wang Changsheng heard the conversation between the two clearly. He wasn't sure if Xiaoying heard it, but Zhiyi had to leave because she had a lot of things to do at the broadcasting station.

She was probably unaware of the argument between her mother and Fujitaka.

Beside the two, Yukito and Touya also stood.

"I never imagined that Dad and Tomoyo's mom knew each other. What an amazing coincidence!" Sakura exclaimed.

She watched as the two seemed a bit agitated, as if they were arguing, and her father's expression was unusually melancholy, which made Sakura a little worried.

"Did Dad offend Aunt Yuanmei before? If so, I must have a good talk with Dad and make him apologize to Aunt Yuanmei!"

Looking at Sakura, who was leaning towards outsiders, Touya couldn't help but touch his chin, as if he was thinking about something.

He then asked Sakura, "Do you know what Tomoyo's mother's last name was before she got married?"

"Huh? You want to ask about Aunt Sonomi's real name? I don't really know, I've never heard Tomoyo mention it." Sakura thought for a moment, then shook her head.

Tomoyo almost never talks about her family in front of her, and she can't deliberately inquire about what's going on at home, so she knows nothing about these things.

Even the fact that Tomoyo's mother's surname was Daidouji was deduced by her from the fact that Tomoyo's surname was Daidouji...

Touya glanced at her speechlessly.

Monsters are just monsters; besides eating and destroying, they're utterly useless...

At that moment, suddenly.

Tomoyo's voice once again resounded throughout the entire campus via the radio.

"Parents participating in the 100-meter sprint, please proceed to the track entrance."

"To reiterate, please participate..."

Lunch break has already passed. Because today is the sports meet, the lunch break is not as long as usual. It's basically just a time for everyone to eat and digest their food.

As the broadcast started, Sakura's dad and Tomoyo's mom's argument seemed to be interrupted.
