"That means that as long as my dad chooses me between ransom and me, you are willing to forgive him, right?"

After hearing Akiko's words, Naoko asked again uncertainly. After seeing Akiko nodding affirmatively, she agreed without hesitation.

However, Xingshi looked a little unwilling to do so. His whole face was twisted together. He wanted to say something, but he felt it was inappropriate and didn't know whether he should say it.

"Sir Xingshi, are there any problems?"

Naoko noticed Xingshi's expression and asked carefully.

"I understand that you want Miss Huajing to let go of your hatred and to let your father be forgiven, but this is based on the premise that Mr. Wu Ju is willing to pay the ransom, and you didn't think what if the truth is the opposite."

"Hey, what do you mean by saying that? You also think that man loves money more. If that's the case, then he is not worthy of being Naoko's father."

Naoko said nothing before Naoko could not hold back her breath. Although the facts might be as Seishi said, such words cannot be said in the face of Naoko. This will make Naoko look at her father in the future.

"And what? You proved that he was not worthy of being Naoko's father and then? What can you do? And what's the use of saying he is not worthy of? The fact is that he is Naoko's father."

Xingshi was also a little unhappy. He also knew that it was not appropriate to speak in front of his daughter, but he was just talking. And you, Akiko, planned to do it, so who was provoking the relationship between him and his father and daughter?

"And...and then..."

Akiko was also stunned. Yes, what can I do? She has given up revenge and has picked up this matter. What else can she do except let Naoko have a knot for her father in the future?

Could she still rob Naoko of custody from Takeuji Katsuhiko? Not to mention that she is just an outsider in theory, even if she is Naoko's mother, whoever she will be raised depends on how the court judges it.

"And you were wrong from the beginning. The choice you mentioned was just for you, well... and Naoko seemed to be a choice, but perhaps for Mr. Wu Ju, these two options are actually the same."

Seeing that Akiko was shut down by what he said, Xingshi took advantage of the victory and continued to express his opinion.

"You just said that the amount of ransom is 500 million, which is exactly the merger and acquisition money that Mr. Wu Ju has been preparing recently. If this merger and acquisition is not successful, his company will go bankrupt under the chain reaction, and everything he will lose, and he may even bear a lot of debts, right?"

"That's right, only in this way can we compare it, right? Otherwise, we would only blackmail hundreds of millions of dollars, and with his wealth, he would not care about it, and there would be no way to try it out. In the end, the money and Naoko are more important in his heart."

Akiko said naturally that she didn't think there was anything wrong with her ideas. In fact, according to her logic, there was nothing wrong with it.

What she wanted to prove was that in Takeyu Katsuhiko's heart, Naoko was the most important thing, so she naturally had to put everything except Naoko on the scale to measure it.

But Xingshi thought her idea was too extreme.

"Humans are very complicated and don't want machines like that. If you decide what is the first priority and what is second in the machine, then the machine will continue to run like this. But people are different, and their ideas will change at any time. Maybe you think this is important at this moment, and then that is more important at the next moment."

"What do you want to say? People's ideas will indeed change, but what is the most important thing will never change once it is determined."

Xingshi said it was very obscure. He hoped that Akiko could figure it out by himself, but obviously Akiko was in a bad state at this time and didn't have the intention to play a puzzle with him.

Seeing this, Xingshi sighed and had to say it clearly.

"Hey, I said I want to say that there are actually many layers of this matter. I thought I could see the second layer based on your experience, but now it seems that you are still on the first layer! Only we know this choice, but Mr. Wu Ju doesn't know it. Judging from his previous reaction, he really believed that this is a kidnapping, right?"

Akiko nodded. You know, even before, she was moved by Naoko so anxious that she wanted to give up.

"Isn't that all right? You think he should choose Naoko because you know it's just a test, but he doesn't know. In his opinion, if he chooses Naoko, he will really lose everything else."

"Isn't this natural? Only when he knows nothing can he see his true thoughts."

Xingshi said everything to this point, and even Naoko, who was sitting behind him, guessed what he wanted to say, but Akiko still didn't understand, which showed that she was really blinded by something.

"You have never thought about how Mr. Wu Ju paid the ransom, the company went bankrupt, and was in debt. After saving Naoko, he would live. Don't tell me that he would grit his teeth and persevere for his daughter, and then make a comeback. If it is so easy, your family will..."

Speaking of this, Naoko gently kicked Xingshi's calf and interrupted him, but Xingshi had expressed his meaning clearly, and it didn't matter whether he could finish speaking.

Xingshi looked back at Naoko with grievance. How could he not know that he was sprinkling salt on someone’s wounds?

He knew, but what could he do? He said a lot of things before, and he kept talking about it all the time. He just hoped that Akiko could understand this.

However, Akiko, who had already gotten into the horns, had never been able to understand it, and Xingshi could only tell this fact that was cruel to her.

“So everything I did was wrong from the beginning.”

Akiko finally realized this and sat on the ground again in dismay.

"To say the lines that often appear in movies, life is not just about love, it also requires bread. You just keep thinking that Mr. Wu Ju loves more."

Seeing her appearance, Xingshi couldn't bear to comfort her, but the effect was not very good. Akiko had already looked down at the floor, making people unable to see her expression.

"Maybe you think I'm over-interpreting, and I think Mr. Wu Ju himself may not think of this, but after all, he has done something similar in person and would not have thought of this. So in his opinion, the option you give is Naoko's death now and he will die together with her in the future."

Seeing that the comfort was not effective, Xingshi was really worried about her condition. He was too familiar with this look. If he let it go, he might turn evil. He had to continue talking nonsense.

But no matter how he hears this, it doesn’t seem like comfort. It’s too realistic, and reality is often cruel.
