For Xiao Yun, this matter would eventually be known by Kato Yoshiko. Even if she didn't demand an explanation from him, he still had to provide one.
After all, she not only gave her body to him but also treated him sincerely. He had pulled her brother down from the position of Deputy Director at Sapporo City Hall, so he couldn't just avoid her indefinitely. If he did that, it would make him seem quite ungrateful.
After hesitating for a while, Xiao Yun steeled himself and answered Kato Yoshiko's call.
"Sister Ryoko, is there something you need at this time?" Xiao Yun asked, almost with a guilty tone.
On the other end, Kato Yoshiko seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, "It's nothing much. I'm just lonely and wanted to chat with you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun thought to himself that this woman was not simply lonely.
"But I'm at work right now; it's a bit inconvenient!"
"Uh, do you have time during lunch?"
"Lunch is fine."
"Great, I'll find a hotel and text you when I'm there. Come over!"
"Okay, Sister Ryoko!"
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yun felt a bit anxious. Kato Yoshiko was definitely reaching out to him regarding her brother. It seemed that he would have to tell her the truth when the time came.
When lunchtime arrived, Xiao Yun indeed received a text from Kato Yoshiko.
Following her message, Xiao Yun arrived at the hotel and found Kato Yoshiko in a private room on the third floor.
Kato Yoshiko wore a short-sleeved, low-cut fitted top on her upper body and a black straight skirt below, accentuating her graceful figure in an exceptionally sexy and charming way.
Her long hair was elegantly styled in a high bun, with strands of Azure Silks cascading down by her ears, enhancing her delicate face, making it even more beautiful and noble.
She sat there gracefully, with shoulders like they were sculpted, a waist as slender as silk, exuding an air of calm elegance and dignified beauty… she was like a tall lotus flower emerging from the water!
This was the typical demeanor of a noblewoman. It must be said that this woman was very enchanting; just one glance at her made one's heart flutter.
At the moment Xiao Yun saw Kato Yoshiko, the humiliation he suffered at Kato Miyoko's place seemed to dissipate like clouds blown away by the wind, filling his heart with sunshine.
It was as if Kato Yoshiko had anticipated Xiao Yun's arrival time; the table was just set with five dishes surrounding a bottle of wine, which had a rose inserted into it.
This had significance; it was called "Five Colors Gathering Flowers," a popular saying among the people of Island Nation. It symbolized a good omen for couples reuniting after many years, representing the gathering of five blessings and everything going smoothly. As for the specifics of the saying, no one could really explain it.
"Long San, you're here!" Kato Yoshiko's face lit up with joy as she stood up to greet him.
"Sister Ryoko..."
Mud Horse, this woman seemed like an enchanting creature. Faced with Kato Yoshiko's captivating smile, Xiao Yun should have been overwhelmed with excitement, but instead, he felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
Xiao Yun awkwardly smiled and sat down across from her… he indeed felt guilty; for Kato Miyoko's sake, he had gone through so much trouble, but what was the result? It didn't matter that Kato Masakazu was brought down; what hurt was that it affected Kato Yoshiko's feelings…
Kato Yoshiko leaned closer to him and poured a glass of wine for both herself and him. With a voice as gentle as water and a smile like spring flowers, she said, "Long San, I really missed you these past few days!"
"Sister Ryoko, I missed you too!" How could he possibly forget someone who treated him so well?
He wasn't lying; however, once those words left his mouth, Xiao Yun couldn't shake off the feeling that it sounded somewhat theatrical.
Looking at the drink poured for herself by Kato Yoshiko, Xiao Yun recalled the blow dealt by Kato Miyoko. Suddenly, it seemed like he understood everything. In the highly hierarchical society of the Island Nation, Kato Miyoko was on a different level than him, just look at her usual attire: Flagmer leather shoes, Cartier jewelry, Chanel clothing...
In this society, one cannot conquer others merely with a bit of skill; for some people, the most important things are status, wealth, and something that makes others look up in awe... What is that?
You know what I mean!
With wine in hand, he mused about life’s fleeting nature—like morning dew, the past is filled with hardships. One should be generous in spirit; deep thoughts linger on. What can relieve worries? Only... this woman before him!
"Sister Ryoko," after downing several glasses of wine, Xiao Yun glanced at Kato Yoshiko's hesitant expression and felt a surge of pity. "I know you invited me today regarding Kato, Deputy Director, right?"
Faced with his straightforwardness, Kato Yoshiko was momentarily taken aback. A blush crept onto her gentle and sweet face, tinged with a hint of embarrassment.
After a brief pause, she finally spoke hesitantly: "Long San, can you tell me if it was really you who did that? Why did you do it?"
Tears shimmered in her eyes.
Now that the words were out, Xiao Yun no longer held back. Kato Yoshiko's kindness towards him was entirely separate from that scoundrel Kato Masakazu.
"It's simple," Xiao Yun said. "It's all my fault for mentioning the incident between Minister Wu and Kato Miyoko in the office to you last time. When Kato Miyoko later found out I was the one who called you, she had Wu the Fat bribe Sato Jinpachi to eliminate me!"
Kato Yoshiko gasped in shock: "What? That woman is too vicious! Did that Dead Fatty Wu actually do such a thing?"
Xiao Yun smiled bitterly: "Wu the Fat used an invitation to meet me at Uranus Hotel as an excuse and had Sato Jinpachi bring a group to surround me. Fortunately, I had learned martial arts since childhood and managed to fend them off. Ironically, when Kato Miyoko showed up wanting to watch the commotion, Sato Jinpachi mistakenly kidnapped her thinking she was my girlfriend!"
"Hmph! That Dead Fatty Wu actually dared to do such a thing!" Kato Yoshiko gritted her teeth and said angrily. Then she worriedly asked, "What happened afterward?"
"Later on, Kato Miyoko sought my help and promised that if I rescued her, she would be my girlfriend. So I went to Heavenly King Mountain's Wohu Cave and really rescued her, even incapacitating one of Sato Jinpachi's arms."
"Then, did Kato Miyoko fulfill her promise in front of you?" Kato Yoshiko asked curiously.
Xiao Yun smiled slightly and said, "No. She proposed another condition, saying that if I wanted her to be my woman, I had to take down her enemy."
"Is her enemy my brother?"
"That's right!"
"What kind of hatred could she have with my brother?"
Xiao Yun laughed and said, "You might not believe it, but Kato Miyoko is actually your cousin!"
"What? She's my cousin?" Kato Yoshiko exclaimed, standing up abruptly.
How could Kato Yoshiko believe that the Brand Director of Paradise Beauty Club was her cousin!
If that were true, why would she make things difficult for Wu the Fat, while also wanting Xiao Yun to pull Kato Masakazu down from his position as Deputy Director at City Hall?
Xiao Yun said, "Kato Miyoko's grandfather and your grandfather are brothers. Back then, he went to America to escape military service and never returned. Believe it or not, Sister Ryoko, she is indeed your cousin!"
"Then... does Kato Miyoko know about our relationship?" Kato Yoshiko asked.
Xiao Yun replied, "Of course she knows. Moreover, when your brother first met her, he realized she was his cousin!"
