Chapter 259 Tomoyo's Mom, Sakura's Dad

Chapter 252 Tomoyo's Mom, Sakura's Dad?

"Aunt Yuanmei, you and my dad must be quite familiar with each other, right?"

In a tranquil lakeside courtyard, Sakura's slightly innocent voice rang out.

Her dark purple eyes darted around at Yuanmei with a mischievous look, her face full of anticipation, as if she wanted to know from Yuanmei what kind of person her father was in other people's eyes.

Upon hearing Sakura's question, Sonoko paused for a moment, seemingly reluctant to answer.

However, looking at Sakura's big, wet eyes, which kept glancing at her, she looked just like a little deer in the forest.

Yuanmei closed her eyes slightly, suppressing the feeling of affection in her heart that seemed to have been shot by Cupid's arrow, and sighed softly.

When Sakura saw Sonomi sigh, she thought Sonomi was angry, so she quickly became flustered and waved her hands in a panic.

"Um, um, I'm sorry, Aunt Yuanmei, it's okay if you don't want to answer. I'm just a little curious about what kind of person my father is in other people's eyes. After all, I've always heard my father talk about my mother, but he never talks about himself..."

Upon hearing this, Sonoko looked at Sakura and asked, "Really?"

Seeing her reaction, Sakura immediately nodded: "Really, really!"

"Dad only mentioned to me that he has no other relatives besides my brother and me. As for Mom's relatives, Dad never mentioned them, and I don't know any of them, since we've never met them."

Sakura hesitated for a moment, then said, "I don't know if they just don't like me..."

"Of course not!"

No sooner had Sakura finished speaking than Sonomi reflexively shouted.

"Huh?" Sakura was startled by Sonomi's sudden reaction, her head jerked back, and the ahoge on her head trembled three times.

"What I mean is, your mother's family are all very nice and open-minded. Sakura-chan, you're so cute, they won't dislike you," Sonomi quickly explained.

But Sakura didn't seem to buy it: "Then why have I never seen them since I was little?"

"Uh, well..." Yuanmei gave an awkward smile, paused for two seconds, and then said, "It's probably because of your mother's situation that her family and your father have fallen out... Anyway, it's impossible for your mother's family not to like you!"

Watching Yuanmei frantically try to fix things, Wang Changsheng secretly curled his lip.

Tomoyo didn't know whether she was aware of the various causes and effects of this matter. She just sat to the side, just like Wang Changsheng, completely unperturbed, and didn't join in the conversation between her mother and Sakura.

Wang Changsheng couldn't discern Zhi Shi's reaction, nor was he entirely sure whether she knew about the matter between the two families.

However, he guessed that even if Tomoyo didn't know the whole story, she must have some understanding of it.

"Is that really true?" Sakura ate two more bites of cake, then looked down and saw that there was still more than half left.

"Of course it's true, I wouldn't lie to you." Yuanmei placed her hands on the table, her hands folded over, supporting her chin.

Her bright purple eyes, so similar to Tomoyo's, gazed at the shimmering lake in the distance, where occasionally a few fish would glide by, creating ripples.

As the fish chased and played, they caused the scattered wildflowers on the lake surface to sway continuously.

After a moment of quiet, Sonomi pulled her thoughts away from her memories.

This time her voice was very calm, a calmness that was not concealed at all.

"Honestly, your dad is a really awful person."

"??˙О˙???"

Sakura guessed that Tomoyo's mother might have some personal feelings about her father, but she didn't expect her to be so direct. She was stunned, then scooped up some cake with her spoon and put it in her mouth.

"I didn't expect Aunt Sonomi to hate Dad so much..." Sakura was a little disappointed.

Because she felt that if someone really hated another person that much, then she would probably only get bad things about her own father from Tomoyo's mother.

"But drawing is fine too, I've never heard anyone say anything bad about my dad before~" Sakura thought again. From childhood to adulthood, everyone around her, everyone she met or knew, had been generous with their praise for her dad.

It was quite interesting to hear someone say bad things about my dad for the first time.

Sakura didn't want to admit that this kind of thing was a little exciting.

After all, she had never spoken ill of her own father with others before.

Of course, she just doesn't say it herself.

If I'm just listening, it shouldn't be a problem, right?

Even if Dad finds out, he probably won't blame me, right?

It has to be said that Sakura's originally soft and cute personality has been gradually distorted by Wang Changsheng.

In the past, she would never have wanted anyone to say anything bad about her father, even if it was her best friend's mother; she would have asked her to stop.

But now, she actually finds it kind of interesting...

Just as Sakura was guessing what bad things Sonomi would say about her father, the latter suddenly changed her mind.

"Ms. Kinomoto is a woman with a great figure, beautiful appearance, gentle and considerate nature. She can do all kinds of housework, and even if she takes on everything herself, she won't let the person she likes suffer at all..."

Yuanmei turned her gaze away from the lake, turned her head, and focused her attention on the garden she had planted herself and occasionally tended to.

The vegetation was lush and green, and the flowers were beautiful and vibrant.

These are all flowers that Nadeshiko used to like.

These are all flowers that Fujitaka once planted.

"That's him, someone who is extremely annoying and makes you feel powerless, especially for those who like Nadeshiko."

As Yuanmei's voice faded, the distant sky, with its endless clouds, separated the brilliant sunlight streaming down from the sky, creating streaks that slanted into the garden, making all life more vibrant.

Sonoko continued, "It's hard to imagine that a person is without flaws. The more effort you put into finding flaws in someone, the more you realize that perhaps being too perfect, acting as a mirror to clearly reflect the flaws in others, is their biggest flaw."

After saying that, Sonoko withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and looked at Sakura with her purple eyes, a rare gentle smile appearing on her lips.

"Your father is probably that kind of person."

"Aunt Yuanmei..."

Sakura's eyes lit up as she listened to Sonomi's incredible praise of her father.

However, a slight sense of disappointment soon followed.

I'd also like to hear some bad things about Dad, that is~

At this moment, Wang Changsheng looked at the teapot, which was almost empty, and immediately became happy.

After all, it is very impolite to leave too much food uneaten when visiting someone's home.

So he didn't have anything to eat, he just kept drinking tea.

He was naturally very happy that he could finish drinking it right away.

Hearing that the two had finished their conversation, he looked up, ready to see what Tomoyo's expression would be.

As it turned out, what he saw almost blinded Wang Changsheng.

It turns out that Sakura laughed right after Sonomi said those words.

It's one thing to laugh, but the real thing is, her smile seems to glow?!

Wang Changsheng rubbed his eyes and looked over again.

As a result, it was discovered that the light emanating from Sakura seemed to be even brighter than before, causing the entire world to lose its color, and the garden behind her to become even more dim.

"???"

Wang Changsheng blinked repeatedly.

The flowers in the garden, which were once vibrant and beautiful, now seemed to have turned gray.

"What does this mean? Is this a magical girl storyline? Is this the CG sequence?"

Message: Wang Changsheng's negative points +999

He looked at Tomoyo on the left and Tomoyo's mother on the right, and found that the two of them seemed completely unaware of what was going on.

The maid waiting not far away did not react at all.

It seems that only Wang Changsheng noticed this scene.

"What, am I not part of this? Why am I being ostracized by the world...?"

The once bright and shiny garden is now gray and drab.

Sakura, who was originally just an ordinary girl, has now become incredibly clever and lively.

Wang Changsheng said the light was a bit too dazzling, so he lowered his head again and began to drink the last bit of tea.

At the same time, an idea popped into his mind.

"When we go to karaoke, if we don't turn on the room lights and just stick Sakura there, the effect should be pretty good, right?"

Thinking this, Wang Changsheng couldn't help but shake his head inwardly: "The world of anime and manga is indeed unfathomable. Even if it becomes a real world, it still retains certain characteristics unique to the world of anime and manga."

Suddenly, Wang Changsheng put down the teapot in his hand, and another idea popped into his mind.

"Since certain characteristics of the two-dimensional world still exist and are retained in the real world, could I use this to...?"

Just as Wang Changsheng was thinking, Yuanmei spoke first.

Her bright red lips curved slightly upward as she instructed Xiaoying, "Don't tell your father about this."

"Okay! I'll keep it a secret!" Sakura immediately nodded in agreement.

As the two began to speak, the strange phenomena that only Wang Changsheng could perceive gradually faded away.

Wang Changsheng also gulped down the last sip of tea.

"Arigato, if your dad finds out I said these things, he'll definitely go crazy over me again."

"Huh? Gone mad?"

------

"Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!"

At the Kinomoto house, Fujitaka was sweeping the yard with a large broom when suddenly his nose became incredibly itchy, and he sneezed three times in a row.

"Ouch..." Fujitaka rubbed his nose and calmed himself down.

"Uncle, what's wrong?" Yukito was taking out the trash when she heard Fujitaka's three thunderous sneezes. She turned to look at him and asked with concern.

Touya was squatting on the ground, holding up a trash bag so Yukito could empty it. Seeing this, he looked up at his father and asked, "Are you catching a cold? Should you take some medicine?"

"No, I'm fine. My nose was just a little itchy." Fujitaka sniffed and rubbed it, then shook his head slightly, stopped what he was doing, and looked up in one direction.

He paused for a moment, then chuckled softly, his tone gentle: "Perhaps someone is talking about me."

------

After Wang Changsheng finished his last sip of tea, Yuanmei and Xiaoying chatted for a long time.

He was indeed a bit hungry, so while they were talking, he beckoned to the maid to bring over some of the food she had brought so they could have something to eat first.

After Yuanmei finishes chatting with Xiaoying, she'll probably have to go to the company and won't have time for lunch. Wang Changsheng did this mainly so that Zhishi's mother could have something to eat before leaving.

Soon, the maid called over several helpers who brought over a few boxes.

These are all the packaging materials that Wang Changsheng just brought over.

He asked the other party to bring mostly cold dishes that could be eaten directly, and some that were already heated.

Looking at the food on the table, Wang Changsheng smiled and said to Yuanmei, "Why don't you try my chef's cooking? It should be pretty good. I think it's delicious."

"Ah, after talking for so long, I'm really hungry." Looking at the table full of delicious food, Sonomi finally stopped chatting, patted her stomach, and said, "Let's dig in!"

"Please, everyone." Wang Changsheng gestured for them to eat, and then picked up his chopsticks with everyone else.

"Let's dig in!"

Wang Changsheng and Yuanmei were the main eaters.

Sakura just showed off most of the cake, and she's really too tired to do anything else.

She kept a small piece, planning to see if she could take it back to Tomoyo's bedroom later so that Kero could try it.

Because this was reserved for Kero, Sakura specially used a spoon to remove all the irregular edges of the cake, leaving a flat cut.

This way it doesn't look like she leftovers.

hmm~

Sakura was quite satisfied with this.

The four of them had a simple meal.

To be honest, Sakura felt it was a bit strange to start eating a main course right after having sweets, so she didn't eat much. Tomoyo probably wasn't hungry, so she didn't eat much either.

Just as the group had finished eating, a maid came out of the villa and handed a telephone to another maid who was waiting nearby.

The maid then handed the phone to Sonomi.

"Ugh... the company must be urging me to go back!" Seeing the maid's actions, Sonoko couldn't help but stomp her foot.

Just as she expected, the maid's voice was respectful and gentle as she spoke in her ear: "It's your secretary calling."

"Sigh..." Yuanmei sighed, answered the phone, listened to what the other end said, and finally let out a heavy sigh: "Okay, okay, um, I understand, okay, wait a moment, I'll go back now."

After hanging up the phone, Sonoko looked at the three little kids sitting there with a hint of apology on her face: "I'm so sorry, I have to go. The company keeps urging me to leave. You guys can wander around here as you like. I'll let Tomoyo show you around."

"You go ahead and do your work, we'll be fine on our own." Sakura nodded repeatedly.
