Chapter 217: Chapter 210: The Woman Who Wants to Go Ashore, Cousin Brother’s Marriage

"Mr. Hattori, I know my actions have deeply hurt you, but please forgive me for the sake of the child. The doctor said that due to physical reasons, I’m not likely to conceive easily. This child may be the only one I’ll ever have."

Cang Jindie bowed deeply, pleading earnestly, then raised her head with tears streaking her face, looking at Hattori Aoshika.

It had to be said, she was quite attractive, and her tearful appearance made her even more pitiable.

"So what?" Hattori Aoshika’s expression was cold.

Cang Jindie bowed again, "So please, take responsibility and marry me... I’ll be a good wife and make up for the harm I’ve caused you."

"Hah." Hattori Aoshika scoffed, tearing the medical report into shreds, "I’ll give you some money to get rid of the child. As for whether you have children in the future, it is none of my concern, and marrying you is absolutely out of the question!"

Police Chief Hattori frowned, having just realized today that his son had a tendency to swing from one extreme to another, which wasn’t a good sign.

"Mr. Aozaki..." Cang Jindie looked stunned.

Hattori Aoshika stared at her expressionlessly.

"Thump!" Cang Jindie fell to her knees, kowtowing to Police Chief Hattori, "Mr. and Mrs. Hattori, please help me for the sake of your grandson I’m carrying. I really don’t want to abort this child. Though it’s still small, it is still a life!"

"Dear." Mrs. Hattori was somewhat moved, the allure of holding a grandson too powerful for the elderly.

Police Chief Hattori said, "Come inside first."

"Father!" Hattori Aoshika frowned.

Police Chief Hattori said, "It’s almost time for work, do you want to make a spectacle?"

Hearing this, Hattori Aoshika stepped aside.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Hattori!" Cang Jindie quickly stood up from the floor and then removed her shoes to enter the house.

"You wait downstairs." Police Chief Hattori said to Cang Jindie, then looked at Hattori Aoshika and added, "Aoshika, come with me to the study."

Hattori Aoshika followed his father upstairs, and as soon as they entered the study, he declared, "Dad, I will absolutely not marry that woman. Not to mention the time she colluded with others to deceive me, she may look pure, but who knows what she does behind closed doors? I certainly don’t want to be cuckolded."

"Whatever kind of woman you marry, only a man who lacks ability ends up being cuckolded. If you can’t win over your wife, what can you conquer?" Police Chief Hattori held Hattori Aoshika’s shoulders, his expression extremely serious, "We Hattori men don’t shy from responsibility. What do you think, Aoshika?"

He had retired and now wanted to be a grandfather.

Moreover, as a person of integrity, he hoped his son would also be a man of integrity and courage to take responsibility. Even though he hoped his son would marry a woman of equal social standing, since Cang Jindie had disrupted the lineage of the Hattori family, acceptance was necessary.

Having a mistress or an illegitimate child was something he absolutely wouldn’t allow; it would disgrace the Hattori family’s reputation.

"Dad, what if I marry her and the child turns out not to be mine?" Hattori Aoshika asked unwillingly.

Police Chief Hattori responded, "Then you divorce her and throw both her and the child out. But I doubt that possibility is high; a clever woman like her must understand the risk of lying. If she came to you, she must be very sure that the child is yours."

Hattori Aoshika looked grim and remained silent.

"Whether this woman is virtuous I do not know, but she is at least not foolish. You can give her a chance. If she turns out not to be a good wife, you can divorce her after the child is born," Police Chief Hattori earnestly advised.

Hattori Aoshika ultimately agreed, as after all, Cang Jindie was his first woman. The premise of profound hate stemmed from deep love.

Besides, he hadn’t really had much better to choose from.

Seeing Police Chief Hattori and Hattori Aoshika come downstairs.

Cang Jindie on the sofa quickly stood up and bowed deeply, "Uncle, Mr. Aozaki."

Hattori Aoshika snorted coldly, this sly woman always managing to present an appealing exterior.

Police Chief Hattori stated, "We Hattori family never shirk responsibility. We hope you will be a good and submissive wife. Also, after the child is born, a paternity test will be conducted. If you agree, then the marriage can proceed."

"Sure! I agree, I will definitely be a good wife," Cang Jindie nodded repeatedly.

Her words were sincere.

After all, she was already carrying Hattori Aoshika’s child.

And with her status, normally she would not be accepted by a family like the Hattoris. Now having the chance to secure a better future and be a worry-free housewife, she was more than eager.

She was a clever woman and knew how to act in her own best interests. Marrying Hattori Aoshika was a highly favorable outcome for her marriage prospects.

From now on, she would cut off her troubled past life completely and comfortably settle into her role as Mrs. Hattori.

Of course, since Police Chief Hattori was not corrupt and the Hattori family was not rich, but at least they were well off enough to not worry about food and drink, and it was also quite respectable, she was quite content with this.

"You should stay at our home during your pregnancy, and as for the wedding, it will be arranged before you start showing," Police Chief Hattori said, also intending to observe Cang Jindie’s behavior during this period and should anything be untoward, he could still prevent his son from stepping into a pitfall.

Cang Jindie obediently responded, "Yes!"

"Do your parents know you’re pregnant?"

"I grew up in an orphanage, without parents or relatives," Cang Jindie answered, pursing her red lips.

Police Chief Hattori remained silent for a moment, "If you truly can be obedient, we will be your family."

"Hey! Please rest assured, I will definitely not let you down," Cang Jindie solemnly promised.

She wanted to seize this opportunity to marry into a good family.

But could things really turn out as she hoped?

...

"Police Chief Aoyama, good morning."

"Director Du Bian, good morning."

Coming to work together, Aoyama Xiu Xin and Dubian Youli met at the entrance of Police Headquarters. Although one had secretly schemed against the other, and one was secretly investigating the other’s son’s criminal activities, they were both outwardly enthusiastic.

Two sly old foxes.

"Mr. Aoyama, Mr. Chunye previously might have offended you due to work-related issues, and as his supervisor, I apologize on his behalf," Dubian Youli sincerely said.

Aoyama Xiu Xin smiled and replied, "Director Du Bian, you worry too much, I can understand Mr. Chunye’s passion for work, I’m sorry that he was dismissed."

"He’s dead," Dubian Youli suddenly said.

Aoyama Xiu Xin was shocked, "Ah, he’s dead?"

"Yes," Dubian Youli nodded his head and sighed, "It’s said he couldn’t bear the shock of being dismissed and committed suicide by jumping from a building. It’s lamentable. Since I ordered the dismissal, I feel guilty."

"Sigh! I really didn’t expect Mr. Chunye’s mental resilience to be so weak," Aoyama Xiu Xin shook his head in regret before consoling, "Director Du Bian, you shouldn’t blame yourself, you didn’t foresee this happening."

"Sigh, let’s not talk about it anymore," Dubian Youli waved his hand and changed the subject, "My son is about the same age as Police Chief Aoyama, and he also plans to take the police examination after graduation. If there’s a chance, I’d like to introduce him to you; young people should interact and become friends."

Since Takeda Fuji had already met his demise and Takai Baoyu was also dead, there was no conflict between him and Aoyama Xiu Xin anymore. Plus, Aoyama didn’t know that he had once schemed against him, so naturally, he could become friends with this rising star.

"Director Du Bian’s son must be as excellent as yourself. I would also like to meet him if there’s a chance," Aoyama Xiu Xin said with a smile.

But he despised the thought internally.

He could be friends with good people and bad people, but he wouldn’t befriend a beast.

Beasts belong in cages.

The two chatted as they walked, and since their office floors were different, they eventually parted ways at the elevator.

Entering his office, Aoyama Xiu Xin saw Asai Ayumi dressed in a uniform sitting on his office chair.

With his long-term nourishment, Asai Ayumi had more of a young wife’s charm between her brows, looking even more beautiful and alluring, every frown and smile exceedingly enticing.

"What is it?" Aoyama Xiu Xin closed the door.

Asai Ayumi leaned back and looked up slightly, asking nonchalantly, "Can’t I find you if there’s nothing urgent?"

"Do you want ’mugwort’?" Aoyama Xiu Xin asked.

As everyone knows, ’mugwort’ is a beneficial herb, having many effects like relieving cough, removing phlegm, expelling cold, and eliminating dampness.

Hearing his crude remark, Asai Ayumi glared at him in embarrassment and annoyance, saying, "My father asks you to come for dinner at our house tonight. I came to inform you."

This detestable guy is just a pure rogue.

If it weren’t for some schemes he played, with her family background and upbringing, how could she possibly marry him?

"Is there a special occasion tonight?" Aoyama Xiu Xin took off his coat and hung it on a rack, walked to Asai Ayumi and patted her shoulder to signal her to move.

Asai Ayumi stood up, and after Aoyama Xiu Xin sat down, she directly sat sideways on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck to stabilize herself, "Tonight my brother has a matchmaking date."

"Who has a matchmaking date late at night, and goes straight to the bridal chamber after?" Aoyama Xiu Xin joked, one hand wrapping around her waist, the other gently touching her leg.

"Ptui! How vulgar." Asai Ayumi intentionally gave him a hard sit, explaining, "The other family is coming, it’s ostensibly a family dinner, but it’s really just for my brother to meet that family’s daughter. If there are no surprises, it will work out, since both my family and my future sister-in-law’s family agree. What my brother and my future sister-in-law think is of least importance."

"What if the woman is very ugly? Wouldn’t that be bitter for brother?" Aoyama Xiu Xin sympathized with his future brother-in-law, a victim of this arranged marriage.

Asai Ayumi half-sneered, "It’s about marrying virtue, not just looks. Besides, even you seek women outside, so my brother isn’t a fool."

Though she resented it, such matters were common in high society, customary, whereas in lower society, it was merely about lacking the means.

"Roll down your sock half way, let me take your temperature," Aoyama Xiu Xin whispered in her ear.

Meanwhile, Dubian Youli was listening to a subordinate’s report, "Director, we discovered through a traffic camera that Hasegawa Ze boarded a taxi that afternoon. We found that taxi, and after questioning the driver, we learned that he took him to Kyoto Lower City."

"What are we waiting for then? Arrange someone to go to Kyoto to look for him immediately," Dubian Youli ordered.

"Yes!"

But just as Dubian Youli focused his attention on Kyoto, he didn’t know that at that moment, Hasegawa Ze along with Big Black Moles and Small Braid was already on the road back to Tokyo.
