Chapter 92: The Uncle Who Had Been Missing for Many Years?
"Hey Mei, long time no see, do you still remember me?"
Just as Yafeng and Rongzu were sharing their mother-daughter relationship, Medea Bernano walked in and said to Rongzu and Mei.
Yah Feng heard this and frowned, does this person really know his godmother? But why did he want to meet in such a way? What's his ulterior motive?
Ning Zuo and Mei then subconsciously pushed Ya Feng and Er Ni behind her back, only to look at the approaching person. However, when she saw that person's appearance, she was shocked to the point of being out of her mind. Why did this person who should have disappeared from this world suddenly appear in front of her?
"What? It seems that Mei and sister have recognized me, very surprised?" Med. Bernano walked straight to the sofa, sat down, and asked Ninsa and Mei.
"Yoroshiku?" Ninjurou and Mika called out that name from deep within their memories.
"It turns out that Mei Jie still remembers me, and it's been many years since I've heard this name."
"Is that really you, Deshirō?!" Minamoto no Yoshitsune and Tomoe Gozen seemed unable to accept this fact, so they rushed excitedly in front of Medea Bernardo and asked.
"Kazami, you've already recognized me yourself, haven't you? Do you think there could be another Itou Yujirou?" Mede Bernardo said with a hint of amusement as he looked at the Kazami in front of him, who was slightly different from his memories.
"Really you? Really you?" Ninsa and Mei still couldn't believe that a person who had been declared dead would appear alive in front of them after more than a decade.
Mead·Bernard didn't say a word, but Natsuki's and Mina's tear-filled eyes slightly moved him.
"It's really you, it's great, it's great that you didn't die." Ninsa and Mei choked with excitement.
"I'm not dead, I'm back."
Mead·Bernano gently wiped away the tears of Nifu and Mei, then continued: "Sorry, Mei sister, for not appearing in front of you at the first time to tell you that I'm fine, making you sad."
Tears of joy and relief flowed down her face as she tightly grasped Medea's hand, saying "It's all right, it's all right. This way Uncle and Aunt can rest in peace. The Ito family still has a future, this is good."
At these words, Medea Bernano's eyes also showed a wound and immediately changed to be full of hatred, extremely cruel, completely stunning Yafeng and Nifu who were watching from the side. They didn't know how much hatred it would take for someone to reveal such a cruel and murderous gaze.
"Mei De Bernardino calmed himself down and then said to the tearful Ninsa and Mei, 'Sister Mei, I mainly asked you to come over today to ask about Miko's whereabouts, do you know?'"
Ning Zuhe and Mei heard Med. Bernano's words, their faces stiffened, the joy of reunion disappeared, she didn't know how to tell this cruel news to this man who had lost everything.
"What's happened to Yoriko?" Seeing the expressions of Shinobu and Mie, Medea Bernano already had an idea in her mind, but she still wanted to hear a definite message. "Please tell me the truth, is Yoriko all right?"
Ning Zu and Mei looked at Madeleine Bernano and then sighed, saying to Yafeng: "Yafeng, come over to Mom."
Yahiko didn't know what Nishiki and Mei had in mind but still obediently walked to their side and sat down.
After sitting down, Yasaka held Mede's hand and felt a surge of power. He then smiled faintly at Mede Bernardo and said, "Desutoro, I'll tell you Mitsuko's story from start to finish. I hope you can listen calmly until the end."
Mead nodded.
Then Nianzu and Mei said to Yafeng, "Yafeng, I hope you can listen carefully to this story too. But promise Mom that no matter what you hear later, don't get excited, remember the calming methods that your father usually tells you, okay?"
Yakaze nodded solemnly, although she didn't know what it was, but she thought it should be something that the previous Yakaze couldn't face before. Now that she is Yakaze herself, she will bravely face it.
After getting the guarantee from both of them, Ninsa and Mei began to recount that beautiful yet sad story.
"That was probably nineteen years ago. The Fujiwara family was absorbed by the Yamashita group, and you, Yujirō, disappeared after a kidnapping incident. Naoko was being pursued by the Yamashita group, but Uncle Itō wanted to help her. However, he couldn't find an opportunity because the Yamashita group was watching him too closely. He and Keiko were also worried that if they found Naoko, the Yamashita group would discover her whereabouts as well, which would only put Naoko in danger. So, after you disappeared, Naoko suddenly vanished as well.
A year later, Keiko married Satō Genji, and Uncle Itō began to hand over the family business to him. Another year passed, and Keiko gave birth to Setsuna, but five years later, she died suddenly. I had some suspicions at the time, but since I was in Osaka and they were in Kyoto, and soon after moved to Tokyo, our connection was severed. Naoko reappeared a year after Keiko gave birth to Setsuna, and by then, she had become the wife of Shinoda Tsurunosuke's second son, Shinoda Genji. I met them at their wedding ceremony, where Naoko briefly told me about her experiences over the past few years.
Apparently, while being pursued by the Yamashita group, she met a police officer named Shinoda Genji, who was notorious in the Kantō underworld. After a series of interactions, they fell in love and got married. However, due to Naoko's identity and the Yamashita group's pursuit, they left Japan after their wedding.
Later, on the first anniversary of Keiko's death, Naoko and her husband returned with their child to visit us. The next news I heard about Naoko was three years ago when Masakazu visited the Shinoda main house, and it turned out that Naoko and Genji had died in a car accident."
After finishing the sad story, Ninsu and Meiguan looked at Yafeng who was sitting next to them with concern, worried that hearing this again would stimulate her. Fortunately, although Yafeng was shocked and saddened, she remained calm. Then they looked at another person who might be greatly affected, and as expected, Med Bernano's expression was not good, sadness, despair, and killing intent merged in his eyes, making him appear unpredictable.
"Yujiro, I know this news is too despairing for you, but you have to understand that you still have your life, you still have Yafeng and Xueyan. Especially Xueyan, now you are the closest person to her, also the only one she can rely on." After saying that, she turned to Yafeng and said: "Yafeng, Yujiro is your mother's twin brother, which means he is your uncle, the person your mother loved most."
Yah Feng was shocked once again, although he knew that this man and his own body should have a deep relationship, but he never thought that he would be the uncle of this body, the only relative left to him by his mother.
"Uncle?"
Mead·Bernano was shocked and his mind cleared up a bit when he suddenly heard this uncertain call in the midst of desperation, grief and murderous emotions. Ah, yes, he still had two loved ones to protect.
Looking at Medea Bernano, Yafeng felt a kind of unknown feeling that she couldn't face, although she had already acknowledged herself as the real Yafeng and acknowledged the relatives of the Yata family, but for this uncle Medea Bernano, she still couldn't accept it.
"Mom, what's the relationship between Xue Sha and me?" Yafeng asked.
"Yuki's mother, Eiko Ito, is the older sister of your mother, Yoko Ito, and Yujirō. However, after your grandparents divorced, your mother and Yujirō followed your grandmother back to her hometown, the Fujiwara family, while Yuki's mother, Eiko, remained in the Ito household. Therefore, Yuki is actually your cousin."
One day, being hit by so many explosive messages, Yafeng, who was already dizzy and confused, was actually struck clear-minded by this last blow. No wonder he would feel heartache for Xuelian from the first time they met, and would risk his own safety to fight for her interests. It turned out that it was because of their kinship, and it was this body's natural closeness to her.
Meadow Bernano had already walked to Yafeng's side and squatted down, looking at Yafeng's eyebrows with nostalgia, gently stretching out her hand to stroke Yafeng's eyebrows and whispering: "No wonder these eyebrows are exactly the same as Mizi's, it turns out you're Mizi's daughter. I've been searching for you all this time without knowing you were by my side."
Yah Feng originally wanted to avoid him because she didn't like strangers getting too close to her, but looking into Med Bernardo's eyes, she lost the will to do so. The deep longing in his gaze pierced her heart, and she thought that this person was also a pitiful one.
"Child, are you willing to live with your aunt Shasha and uncle together?"
"Sorry, I'm now a daughter of the Sanada family. Before I come of age, I have to stay at the Sanada main house, where my relatives are and that's my home."
Yah Feng knew it was hurtful, but she still said it word by word, because the Tiantian family was the only home she had acknowledged for many years.
Seeing Mede Bernano's disappointed eyes, Nifu and Me spoke hastily: "Yujirou, Yafeng's words are not wrong either. She is the daughter of the Sanada family and it is reasonable for her to live in the main house of the Sanada family. If you want to spend more time with them, you can let them come over and stay with you for a few days, but it may not be suitable for them to move in directly, after all, they both have their own families now." Then Nifu and Me turned to Yafeng and said: "Yafeng, Yujirou has been holding on to the hope of reuniting with your mother and Keiko all these years. Now that your mother and Keiko are no longer here, you and Setsuna should spend more time with your uncle. He is your closest relative and is just like a member of your immediate family. Do you understand?"
Yah Feng nodded slightly and said, "I understand," then turned to Med Bernardo and said, "Uncle, sorry, it was my mistake. If you're willing, I can come with Xue Sha every weekend to visit you, is that okay?"
"Alright, whatever you say," said Madeleine Bernano with a nod.
Looking at his drowning eyes, Yafeng hurriedly shifted her gaze, and she couldn't bear this heavy love now.
