Chapter 56: 50. Thus, Dubian Che confessed in the courtyard
Dubian Che caught a fleeting glimpse of the Imperial Palace outside the car window, signaling that their destination was in Chiyoda Ward.
The Imperial Palace, an iconic building of Chiyoda Ward, is open for tourists to visit by appointment without any admission fee. When Dubian Che had just arrived in Tokyo with no money, he had gone there once.
After passing the Imperial Palace, the car zigzagged into a sizable courtyard villa.
In the political, economic, and cultural heart of the city, occupying such a special area to build a courtyard villa, Dubian Che felt like he needed to conquer ten thousand Yuzao Haomeis.
Of course, there were situations where conquering just one would suffice, and that was Jiutiao Meijie herself.
The courtyard was planted with pine and cypress trees beloved by the people of the Island Country and was blooming with various flowers whose scientific names could not be uttered. Additionally, there were black-clothed men who at a glance were obviously bodyguards, straight out of a movie.
Seeing the bodyguards, Dubian Che remembered the incident in Ochazuke and thought that Jiutiao Meijie might not be living comfortably.
When the car stopped, the four passengers alighted. The bodyguards didn’t dramatically line up in two rows but bowed from their respective positions toward them.
As he walked through the villa’s gates, Dubian Che was surprised to see maids!
Not the aesthetically designed ones from Akihabara, but traditional black and white attire, wrapped up tightly from head to toe.
Born into socialism in his previous life and growing up in a countryside where buses only ran every two hours, Dubian Che had never seen anything like this, and for a moment he couldn’t help but ogle the maids.
"I’ve decided, after securing the first place in the entire school, the first outfit for those two will be maid outfits!"
As he was entertaining these random thoughts, a maid approached him, "Guest, please follow me."
"Oh, okay," Dubian Che guessed they were going to check his identity—just like in the movies.
"There’s no need," Jiutiao Meijie, who was walking in the front, interrupted.
Dubian Che noticed the maid in front of him, no, not just her, but also Shizuru and other maids, all exhibited a clear surprise on their faces.
Dubian Che smiled gently at the maid, "Sorry about that, but I’m her person of utmost trust."
Jiutiao Meijie hummed indifferently with a hint of contempt and scorn for Dubian Che’s lowbrow joke.
The maid was left looking utterly bewildered.
It wasn’t clear whether she was charmed by Dubian Che’s smile or shocked by his relationship with Jiutiao Meijie, or perhaps it was both.
Once inside the villa, Jiutiao Meijie left on her own, while another maid guided Dubian Che and Kiyono Lin to the living room.
"Kiyono, what on earth is going on?" Dubian Che didn’t believe they were truly there to meet her parents.
"You’ll understand if you just watch," Kiyono Lin replied without much enthusiasm, then she turned to Dubian Che, "What’s your relationship with Jiutiao Meijie?"
Before Dubian Che could respond, she turned her head back, "Never mind, I’m not interested in that."
"If you’re not interested, then why ask!"
Kiyono Lin cupped her chin, pondering mischievously, "It seems necessary to maintain a certain level of intimacy with you in front of Jiutiao Meijie."
"I apologize, I had a problematic attitude."
As they spoke, they entered the living room. Dubian Che felt a sense of spaciousness, as though stepping into an independent expanse, which spoke volumes about the height and width of the living room.
The interior decor, needless to say, was exquisite. The outward appearance alone suggested it wasn’t cheap. Among it all, a large portrait was the most eye-catching.
The portrait featured a woman of dignified appearance, dressed in a luxurious and noble kimono, holding a folding fan.
Dubian Che had seen this person in books before.
The wife of Emperor Taisho, the mother of Emperor Showa, Jiutiao Jiezi.
"After taking down the Jiutiao Family, can everything really be over?" Dubian Che gazed at the portrait.
Kiyono Lin and Dubian Che sat opposite each other at the long table as a maid served them tea and exquisite snacks.
Recently, Dubian Che had been exercising a lot and was quite hungry. He ate the food without any reservation, drinking tea whenever his mouth felt dry.
Perhaps due to his unfettered movements, he kept feeling as if the standing maids were stealing glances at him.
But it could also be because he was very handsome.
Indeed, he was.
After devouring three biscuits and a piece of cake, when Dubian Che started to feel a bit sick of sweets, another person entered the living room.
She looked to be in her thirties, with delicate makeup and an efficient appearance.
Thanks to recently observing Jiutiao Meijie’s expressions continuously, Dubian Che noticed a layer of surprise in the woman’s eyes when she saw him in his school uniform.
Had none of these upper-class people or their servants ever seen the world?
Although he was very handsome.
That was indisputable.
"Lin," the visitor addressed Kiyono Lin and then sat beside her.
"Mhmm," Kiyono Lin nodded, emotionless.
Dubian Che glanced back and forth between the two, but he had no interest in asking about things others didn’t want to disclose. He spoke to a maid nearby, "Could you bring some savory snacks, please?"
Without a word, the maid bowed slightly and then quietly left.
The thirty-something-year-old woman looked surprised again and said with a smile to Dubian Che, "I am Lizzi Kiyono, Executive Director of Kiyono Group. May I know who you are?"
"Me? Just an ordinary high school student from Goda High School, Dubian Che, bound for greatness in the future."
"The ’bound for greatness in the future’ is redundant," Jiutiao Meijie, now changed into casual clothes, stepped into the living room calmly as Shizuru still shadowed her.
"Meijie, are you suggesting that you find me remarkable even now? I’m touched!"
No sooner had Dubian Che spoken than Kiyono Lin on the other side chuckled without any pretense.
And when the words "Meijie" popped out of Dubian Che’s mouth, the maid nearby and Lizzi Kiyono in front of him both showed a clear shock on their faces.
