Meteorite Jade Scandal

Chapter 53 - Watanabe Haruhi

(WATANABE HARUHI POV)

Everything was done, the boy already knew the truth. I don't have to pretend to be nice to him anymore. But I'm willing, even though this way I will be kicked back by my father.

??

What can we do about it? At worst, I'll be back selling ramen aka udon at a friend's shop. It's better than living with the child. The child I never wanted. The boy who ruined my life.

Yes, he is a curse to me. He's the reason I was kicked out by my own father. He also ruined my single life.

I'm cruel, I'm a heartless mother, maybe that's what people think. But, actually I'm just a girl who lost her rights.

While my friends were enjoying their youth, I had to be bothered with taking care of that damn child. I've even tried many times to abort it. But all failed. The child is still born into this world.

I still clearly remember that incident. An event that changed my life and personality.

At that time, I was just playing games at a friend's house in Kyoto. Yes, his name is Hyojin. Unexpectedly Hyojin's mother is the owner of Okiya, the largest geisha house in Kyoto.

At that time I was 17 years old. A very unstable age for most people. True, I was still unstable at that time.

Me and my two friends, Hyojin and Mika, we became fake Geisha. Hyojin's mother didn't know it. We dressed up with the help of the seniors there.

A Geisha is really cool in my opinion. They were mentored for many years in this Okiya. But, it only took me a few minutes to become a Geisha.

Mika challenged me to appear in front of businessmen from China. At first I refused, but in the end I agreed. I really like challenges.

A few hours later, the businessmen from China came. I performed my best dance on them. This is very easy. I have been talented since childhood.

I poured sake into their cup. My eyes fell on a man in a tuxedo suit. He was handsome, his gaze was sharp. He also gave me a sweet smile.

And that night we did. Yeah, doing things I shouldn't have done.

Me and him were drunk at the time. He introduced himself as Master Zhang Minghao.

Minghao who made me into a perfect woman. I'm still young, but I can feel it. We making love in one of the rooms in Okiya that time.

My friends don't know this of course.

Actually, I wasn't completely drunk at the time. But, I can't resist my desire. That's right, we did it consensual.

Within a month, Zhang Minghao who was originally a stranger to me, has now become a part of me.

But, stupidly I did not realize the consequences of the cursed act. I don't even know the man's address.

The stranger just left me. He promised to come back to pick you up in Japan. He also promised to take me to China.

Really, I was a fool for trusting Minghao. I was too carried away by it.

Until my father, Watanabe Yoshinori, found out about this and kicked me out of the house. I realized I had disgraced the Watanabe family's good name.

After being kicked out of the Watanabe family, I had to stay at a friend's ramen shop. I left all the luxuries I had.

After a few months, I gave birth to a baby, the result of what I did with Minghao. I gave birth to the baby without using adequate medical equipment.

I gave birth only with the help of friends who happened to attend nursing academies. A risky process. But I really don't want that child.

In the end, I lived with that damned child.

Until a few years later, someone wanted the child. Yes, a man from China.

The man claimed to be an errand boy from Zhang Minghao, his name was Zhen Liushen.

After 10 years, Zhang Minghao finally remembered me. I don't care about him anymore, at that time the most important thing was that I was away from that child. I handed the boy over to Master Zhen. I brought him to China, and promised to pick him up.

Master Zhen gave me a lot of money. I probably won't use it for up to 5 years to fulfill my needs.

I took the child to his father's house, Zhang's Main Residence which is in Beijing, China. I never even gave him a name. I always call him 'Hey! Boy!'

My life is really boring. I never wanted to get married. After 12 years, suddenly dad was looking for me. I don't know what got into him.

My father had his men take me back to Watanabe's main house. And the requirements really made my heart stop beating for a moment.

Yes, father wants me to return with his grandson, whom he has given his birth name as Watanabe Takeyuki. Is my dad kidding?

What does it mean?

Didn't dad really want my son?

Right, this is the reason I asked for it from Zhang Minghao. I want to go back to enjoying my luxury that I had left behind.

But damn, the boy was listening to my conversation with dad.

The child is innocent. But, the look in his eyes reminded me of that jerk. I didn't expect the sweet Zhang Minghao to betray me.

Now, I'm just resigned even though father will throw me back.

-Gefroren City-

Gilbert Greyrat and Vincent Greyrat were relaxing on Sakura Hill Slope at the moment. They lay on the white snow, enjoying the falling cherry blossoms against their faces. In this Gefroren City, you will experience a very long snow season, more than 5 years over a 10 year period. The other 5 years are filled with summer, autumn and spring.

Since childhood, Gil and Vin really like playing at Sakura Hill. They were both sleeping in a pile of whitened snow. They used their hands as pillows, looking up at the pale sky.

"You know, Vin? I have a feeling that Brother Glen loves that Mortal," Gil said, still looking up.

Vin's eyes widened. He even sat up in shock.

"What do you mean, Brother Gil? You mean our brother loves Sister Lily, do you?"

"Yes, Vin. It's very obvious. Brother Glen shows his concern for Sister Lily openly. So, many say that King Glen has fallen in love with a human named Lily, whom our soldiers saved a few months ago." Gil said.

Vin shook his head with a chuckle.

"Tskckck! Brother Glen is digging his own grave! How could our father approve of that relationship? Gods and humans are so different!" said Vin, could not understand the thoughts of his eldest brother.

Gil just smiled casually, responding to his brother Vin's panic.

The prince of Fotia, Felius, suddenly came between Gil and Vin. Somehow Felius can enter this Gefroren City. In fact, this City is already shrouded in a magic mist.

Without saying much, Felius immediately force-fed Gil's mouth with a blackish red fruit. The fruit is the size of an onion.

Felius's action of stuffing the fruit into Gil's mouth was so fast that it took Gil by surprise and forced to swallow the fruit.

Vin acted quickly and charged towards Felius. However, unfortunately Felius had fled before Vin's attack hit him.

"Cough! Cough!" Gil choked and coughed loudly.

Vin immediately approached and created a cup of water in his hand. Vin gives Gil a drink and checks on his brother.

"What's wrong, Brother Gil? Do you feel pain somewhere? Say it!" Vin asked, panicked. He looked at Gil with a worried look.

After drinking the holy water given by Vin, Gil continues to feel good. He doesn't have a cough anymore.

Gil smiled at Vin who looked worried. Gil patted Vin on the shoulder.

"Calm down, Little Brother! I'm fine right now. So, don't worry!" Gil spoke, softly.

"Actually, what did Felius give you earlier, Brother Gil?" Vin asked, curious.

Gil shook his head.

"I don't know myself either, Vin. But, I hope it's not poison or anything."

"If you experience something strange to yourself, tell me immediately, Brother Gil! If it's poison, I will immediately find an antidote," said Vin, so seriously. He was really worried about his brother at the moment.

Hearing Vin's words, Gil smiled again.

"Okay, Little Brother! I'll tell you if I get sick."

They were silent for a moment. After that, Vin suddenly hugged Gil's stomach. Vin even cried while hugging his brother's body. He was very afraid that what Prince Felius had given him turned out to be poison.

Gil returned his sister's hug. He patted Vin on the back a few times, trying to calm him down.

"Calm down, Little Brother! I'm fine now! So, don't cry anymore, okay?" Gil said to the brother he loved very much.

Vin just shook his head weakly. He hugged his brother tighter and tighter.

In the end, Gil let Vin cry in his chest while continuing to hug Gil's stomach.

Gil smiled at his little brother's behavior.
