Chapter 369 Uesugoshi’s Self-Deprecation (Two in One, Please Subscribe!!!)
"If you're happy, you're happy, if you're angry, you're angry, but it's your fault for scolding people, Master Yue." Lu Mingfei said with a dissatisfied look on his face, "Aren't I worried that you, the old man, will be too excited after hearing so much good news? What if your blood pressure gets high, your nerves twitch, your brain buzzes, and you have a heart attack or a cerebral hemorrhage?"
"Bastard, who do you think I am? A lonely old man who can't take care of himself!" Uesugi frowned, stretched out his hand to open the small door on the front of the cart, and wanted to walk out impatiently. "No! I have to go find Eri!"
When he thought about his daughter, he had eaten noodles in front of his ramen stall just now, but Uesugoshi had no idea about it and only regarded her as a strange little girl whom he liked... How did Uesugoshi feel about this gap? acceptable?
He simply couldn't wait to find Eri Yi again. This was completely instinctive - the anxious and cherished heart of a father for his daughter.
However, just when Uesugoshi stood up and was about to leave quickly, a pair of hands pressed heavily on his shoulders, holding Uesugoshi's body in place... It was Lu Mingfei. He held the old man down from the front. Mingfei's face stopped in front of Uesugoshi's, his face full of seriousness.
"Master Yue, just meeting her once is enough. You shouldn't go looking for her again now... As for the reason, I think you should know it in your heart." Lu Mingfei looked into Uesugi Yue's eyes, his tone was extremely serious, " I promise that I will bring Eri to your ramen stall to eat noodles again in the future, but now is not the time for you and your daughter to recognize each other."
"Don't worry, I never want to harm any of you, whether it's the young brother Minamoto, or you and Eri, the father and daughter. If I have evil intentions towards you, there is no need for me to treat this person. I’ll tell you everything truthfully.” Lu Mingfei even used Japanese honorifics when he said these words, “This is for your own good and for Eri’s own good, so please be patient until now. Please!"
Uesugoshi's tiger-like eyes were fixed on Lu Mingfei's eyes. His gaze seemed to penetrate through Lu Mingfei's eyes and penetrate into Lu Mingfei's heart... After looking at each other in silence for a long time, Uesugoshi could see from Lu Mingfei's eyes. All Fei saw in his eyes was sincerity and pleading, and his mind was rapidly thinking about Lu Mingfei's words.
Indeed, all the words and deeds of this young man were almost consistent. He could see that Lu Mingfei was sincere to Eryi and to him. His expression and tone when he told him about his two sons were also sincere. , Lu Mingfei had no reason to harm him, otherwise he wouldn't have told himself so many secrets that few people knew... If he kept himself in the dark for the rest of his life, until he was buried alone with his loneliness, wouldn't he be worse off in that way? Is it sad?
Uesugoshi's rock-hard body relaxed little by little, and he slowly sat down on the seat next to Lu Mingfei where Eli Yi had just sat. The light and shadow in his vicissitudes of life flickered, and his expression was complicated.
What Uesugoshi didn't even notice in his haste was that the body he wanted to move out of instinct was actually held down by the young man in front of him... The force that could hold him down could even knock down a tiger.
"I know it's hard for you to digest such a huge amount of information in one day. You must have a lot of questions to ask." Lu Mingfei looked at the old man, "We still have ten minutes, what do you want to know? Feel free to ask me, I will never hide anything I can tell you."
Uesugi took a deep breath and turned to look at Lu Mingfei: "Then tell me! Please explain everything to me! Explain everything clearly... Eri Yi... Uesugi Eri Yi, my daughter... What is all this about? What’s going on!”
"Didn't I make it very clear just now? Eriyi is the same as the Minamoto child and the Minamoto girl. They were all cultivated using your genes and IVF technology. She is your daughter. This is definitely true. "Lu Mingfei said, patting Uesugoshi's shoulder, "Master Yue, don't worry, you will definitely not live the life of a lonely old man in the future. You have two sons and a daughter, and your life will definitely be happy and healthy in your later years... If you live in Japan in the near future, If all the crises that have occurred and will occur are resolved satisfactorily.”
"I seem to be worried about whether I will become a lonely old man? Have I discussed this issue with you?" Uesugi slapped Lu Mingfei's palm away. His beard almost stood up, and he seemed to be okay. Lu Mingfei was resentful for not letting him find Eli Yi.
"Didn't you just say that I regarded you as a lonely old man who can't take care of himself? You still called me a bastard." Lu Mingfei looked at Uesugi Yue spreading his hands with an innocent look on his face, "I thought you had been alone for too long, and it was very difficult for you to Pay attention to this issue.”
Uesugi Yue looked at this naughty boy. Under the ramen chef's white linen clothes, his chest was rising and falling like a blower... Apparently he was very angry with Lu Mingfei and was taking a deep breath to calm down his mood.
"Okay, even if I didn't ask clearly just now, now I'm going to make my question more concrete. Let's not be so mean and answer me properly." Uesugi Yue stared at Lu Mingfei, "Eri's surname is Uesugi, right? , she inherited my surname and became the head of the Uesugi family...Does everyone in the family know that she is my daughter?"
What Uesugi Yue was thinking was that, in this way, Eriki Uesugi was not the fake head of the Uesugi family. She was the daughter who inherited her own bloodline and was the most genuine head of the Uesugi family.
Regarding the fact that Eriko was his daughter, Uesugi easily believed it without any doubt... Apart from the daughter who inherited his own blood, where else could he find another such a "perverted" little girl in Japan?
Uesugi Yue had also experienced Eri Yi's momentum just now. The moment Eri Yi blocked Lu Mingfei's body, Uesugi Yue could clearly feel a pressure that was no less than his own, forcing his momentum back. Back, although Uesugoshi didn't even use the power of his word spirit, nor did he exert all his pressure, Eriko didn't either... Although this doesn't mean that Eriko has enough power to suppress Uesugoshi, but in a short time There is absolutely no problem with Rie Rie's strength being on par with Uesugi Koshi. As the hybrid with the strongest bloodline in the world, Uesugi Koshi, even most of the heads of the Snake Kihachi family do not have the strength to match it.
At that time, Uesugoshi was still wondering how this little girl who appeared out of nowhere could have such a arrogant bloodline...it turned out to be his own daughter! That all makes sense, after all, the tiger father has no dog daughter!
"No, almost no one in the family knows that Eriko is your daughter. They only know that Eriki is a descendant of the Uesugi family. She is the only remaining bloodline of the Uesugi family, and the bloodline is strong, so Eriki has become the daughter of the Uesugi family. The owner of the Uesugi family." After Lu Mingfei thought for a while, he decided to tell the old man truthfully, "As for you, few people in the Snake Qihachi family know about the existence of 'Uesugi Koshi', only the older generation... However, people of the older generation think you are missing, and more of them are actually more willing to believe that you have died somewhere... To be honest, your reputation in She Qiba's family is really not very good."
"Why do I need you to remind me of my reputation in the family?" Uesugi glared at Lu Mingfei fiercely.
"Oh yes! And!" Sugiyoshi seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and asked Lu Mingfei with a strange expression, "You just said that Yuan Zhisheng is my son and Eriyi is my daughter. They Both of them are my children, and when Eryi called Yuan Zhisheng just now, she did call her brother... Then why did Eryi say that Yuan Zhisheng was not her biological brother? "
"Just like you, you don't know that you have these children, and they don't know that you are a father." Lu Mingfei said, "They know nothing about their life experience, except for Yuan Zhisheng and Yuan Zhisheng." These two brothers don’t know the blood relationship between each other and Eri.”
"Then how come my son was given the surname of the Minamoto family, entered the Minamoto family, and became the head of the Minamoto family?" Uesugi Yue frowned, "Who arranged all this? Who was the head of the Minamoto family in the previous generation?"
"It has nothing to do with the previous generation of the Minamoto family head. All this was arranged by a man named Tachibana Masamune." Lu Mingfei looked at Uesugoshi, "Have you heard of the name Tachibana Masamune?"
Uesugoshi nodded slowly. He had heard that not long ago, Angers mentioned to him the man Masamune Tachibana, the head of the Tachibana family, one of the three contemporary upper families, the former head of the Eight Snakes and Eight Families, and a follower of Uesugoshi. Unheard of impostor.
"Whether they are Minamoto or Eri, they have grown up under the eyes of a man named Tachibana Masamune over the years. Tachibana Masamune took care of them and raised them." Lu Mingfei said, "Before today, Minamoto Both Kosei and Eriki regard Masamune Tachibana as a father-like figure in their lives."
Facing Lu Mingfei's words, Uesugi responded silently. Of course, he felt uncomfortable in his heart, just like a can full of seasonings that had been knocked over. There was sourness, bitterness, and spicyness, but there was no sweetness.
It is as heart-wrenching as a biological father hearing his own child call his stepfather affectionately "daddy" when his own children regard other men as their fathers... But what can Uesugi say?
He owed all of this to those children, more than twenty years, more than twenty years! He has three children, each of whom is over 20 years old. In total, he has missed more than sixty years of his children's lives, which is longer than the long years he wasted!
He failed to participate in their childhood, failed to accompany them as adults, and failed to teach boys how to be upright men and girls how to be self-loving and self-reliant ladies... Although it seems now that his children have learned After all these, they all became responsible, responsible and independent... in short, they are all very good people.
But none of this has anything to do with him... He has not fulfilled any of his father's responsibilities on his children.
So how could he blame the man who raised his children?
Even if that man is a fake head of the family, even if his children recognize other men as their fathers, even if that fake father instills his life principles into his children... all Uesugi can do is to remain silent. ah.
Because he is not a qualified father at all... No, for his children, he is not worthy of being called their father at all.
Uesugoshi poured himself a glass of sake and drank it in one gulp.
A bitter smile appeared silently at the corner of his mouth. This originally energetic ramen chef seemed to have aged sixty years again in a short period of time.
"Master Yue, all this is not entirely your fault. After all, you don't know that you have three children. Although I can't completely empathize with you, I can probably understand your current mood." Lu Mingfei saw Uesugi Yue's Disappointed, he said with relief, "And what I'm telling you is that before today, Minamoto Chisei and Eriki had always regarded Tachibana Masamune as a father figure... Did you notice what I said 'before today'? ?”
"What, did something special happen today?" Uesugi held the empty wine glass and sighed slightly, "Because you found me today and told me all this, the identity of the biological father of those children has come to light. Right?"
"But it's good that I know all this...that's enough." Uesugoshi shook his head slightly, "You're right, telling Eri that I am her father is not a good thing for her. She is so childish. The same goes for women. Even if I did rush in front of them and grab their shoulders, I would be trembling with excitement and the only words that came out of my mouth would probably be 'I'm sorry, I got the wrong person', or 'I'm a ramen seller. Two good flavors have been released recently, do you want to try it at my ramen stand?’ and the like... Yes, that’s all I dare to say.”
"I don't have the courage to recognize them. It sounds like the man named Masamune Tachibana who raised them was good to them and educated them into good people." Uesugi Koshi paused, "But I'm terrible, My life is a mess. I am not a qualified head of the family, a qualified son, a qualified husband, and even less a qualified father... I have no face to see them like this. A person who has been with me since they were born Anyone would be shocked if a father who had never appeared in their lives suddenly appeared in front of them."
"I'm afraid they'll grab me by the collar and ask me where I've been all these years and why I've ignored them... I'm afraid to see the tears they shed when they know the truth... In fact, what I'm most afraid of is that they just indifferently Reply to me with a 'so what', or simply refuse to acknowledge me as your father." Uesugoshi's voice trembled slightly, "Who would acknowledge a father who has no sense of responsibility? They all live a good life and don't need to A father who is a ramen chef, they all have magnificent lives, and a father like me will become a stain in their lives."
The man named Koshi Uesugi, who was once the supreme mafia gang and is now the ramen master, has never used such a mean tone to laugh at himself.
This despicability...it's like it's buried in the dust.
