Chapter 244 Yuan Zhisheng’s Self-Blame, the Princess of Tsarist Russia
Genji Heavy Industries stood up like a pitch-black sword, showing its great strength at a height that stood out from the crowd.
Looking down from the top of this building, the whole city is crawling at its feet.
In ancient times, careerists and powerful people liked to build their residences extraordinarily tall and limit the height of other buildings. In addition to the practical interests of showing authority and preventing the leakage of confidential terrain, they probably also wanted to satisfy the powerful people's sense of personal conquest. the goal of.
However, in the top-floor office of Genji Heavy Industries, as one of the most powerful people in the city, Minamoto Chisei had little interest in the scenery outside the window.
He half leaned on the seat and stared at the photo in his hand.
These were photos that Sakura secretly took and quickly developed without having time to plastic seal them.
On the photo, his familiar sister Eriyi was holding up a note with a serious look on her face. In front of her, a handsome man was unceremoniously holding Eriyi's pen and poking her. cheek.
Yuan Zhisheng had been staring at this photo for more than thirty seconds.
After realizing this, Sakura, who was behind him, felt a thump in her heart and secretly thought it was not good.
Just looking at this photo, it's easy to mistakenly think that Su Mo is bullying Eri. It would be terrible if Minamoto has bad senses because of this.
In fact, with Sakura's level of care, she had already planned to take down this photo.
After all, there are a lot of developed photos, so there is no need to show them all to the young master. As an assistant, she still has the power to select them.
However, because she suddenly knew that Zero was actually the princess, she could not take care of this detail for a while. In order to prevent Yuan Zhisheng or the family from making any irrational actions, she quickly drove back and immediately reported to the princess. The source of the report was given.
Crow Yasha wanted to get in the car and ask her to take him for a ride, but she didn't have time to pay attention to it, and naturally she couldn't care about this small detail.
By the time she remembered it, it was already too late.
Seeing that the young master really cared about this photo, Yabuki Sakura took the initiative to help explain after hesitating for a moment.
"Young Master, they are joking. Miss Eriki has not been bullied."
Although Zero is a princess and cannot move, Su Mo is just an ordinary person.
If Yuan Zhisheng is really dissatisfied, even Her Royal Highness the Princess' entourage may not be able to leave the city alive.
Although Minamoto had never been this cruel type, when it came to Miss Eri, she was worried that Minamoto might be impulsive.
Yuan Zhisheng was a little surprised to hear that Sakura would actually take the initiative to speak.
"It seems that Eriyi really had a good time today?"
he asked suddenly.
"Yes!"
Yabuki Sakura nodded immediately.
"The two of you didn't have any ill intentions because Miss Eriki couldn't speak. Instead, you took good care of Miss Eriki. After Miss Eriki was sent back, you were a little bit——"
At this point, her words stopped abruptly.
Because of her excellent sense of the two of them, she subconsciously wanted to help Su Mo get off the hook. However, halfway through, she realized that Yuan Zhisheng's words seemed a little uncomfortable and seemed to be a bit accusatory.
She immediately stopped and began to think about how to help Yuan Zhisheng find amends.
Yuan Zhisheng didn't care, he smiled silently.
"You're trying to say that Eriki doesn't really want to go home, right?"
He took the initiative to answer the second half of the sentence.
"……yes!"
After hesitating for a moment, Sakura nodded. She would not panic to Yuan Zhisheng.
"Don't worry about it, this is normal. This is said to be Eri's home, but it's actually just a prison."
Yuan Zhisheng raised his head and looked out the window.
The setting sun dyed the sky above into red, while the city below was pitch black, like a jungle of black iron.
The skyline divides the world into two completely different colors, with steel and concrete buildings standing like prison bars.
"Who in the world would willingly step into a prison from which there is no escape."
Yuan Zhisheng shook his head. He was not surprised by Eli Yi's performance, nor did he mind it at all.
Sakura was silent for a moment.
She didn't quite understand what Yuan Zhisheng meant, so she chose to stand silently behind Yuan Zhisheng.
Yuan Zhisheng didn't care if anyone answered. After sighing, his eyes fell on the photo again.
"You said that just now because you were worried that I would be dissatisfied with him?"
After taking a look at Su Mo's information, Yuan Zhisheng said bluntly.
He never likes to talk in roundabout ways, and he is even more straightforward when facing his own people.
"……yes!"
Sakura nodded honestly, not worried about being misunderstood by Yuan Zhisheng.
Yuan Zhisheng did not misunderstand. He stretched out his hand to rub his forehead and sighed.
"You're thinking too much. Eri is just a sister. I won't be angry or jealous about such things."
He knew that some people would misunderstand the relationship between him and Eri Yi. After all, their last names were different and they were not biological siblings. But in his heart, Eri Yi was indeed a sister, or a child who needed to be taken care of.
He didn't know why he thought so.
It may be that after losing her younger brother, she compensated for her guilt towards her younger brother, or it may be because Eriki's situation is somewhat similar to that of a young girl.
But now, these things are not important. Erika is not a substitute for Minamoto Naomi, she is indeed his sister.
"But, as an older brother, you will usually be angry."
Sakura whispered.
Seeing his sister being seduced by a wild man who doesn't know where he came from, it's normal for the brother with whom he has a close relationship to be unhappy.
"...Is this generally true?"
Hearing this, Yuan Zhisheng was slightly startled.
"I don't know, I don't have a sister, but it looks like this from the information."
Sakura shook her head and replied that she was a universal assistant, but she really had no research on her brother's psychology and only knew the conclusions on paper.
After hearing this unreliable answer, Yuan Zhisheng nodded and chose to believe it.
"If you were from the perspective of an ordinary brother, you might be a little dissatisfied. But I am really happy to see that Eri is having fun."
"If I have to say I am dissatisfied, I am more dissatisfied with myself. I am not qualified to be an older brother."
He sighed.
"Dissatisfied with yourself?"
Sakura was slightly stunned, not quite understanding what Yuan Zhisheng meant.
My sister and other friends are having fun outside. Why does this brother blame himself?
"Have you seen what Eri looks like?"
Yuan Zhisheng adjusted the angle of the photo so that Sakura behind him could easily see it.
In the photo, Eriki was looking blankly at Su Mo in front of her, her clear eyes like mirrors. Faced with the attack that was poked in the face, she didn't react at all, not even the slightest bit to dodge.
Only then did Sakura realize that Minamoto Zhisheng was not staring at Su Mo, the bastard who dared to abduct her sister, but was analyzing Eri Yi's performance.
Before she could ask, Yuan Zhisheng continued.
"I know that the other person has no ill intentions, and she is not bullying Eriyi. Eriyi herself understands this, but she doesn't know how to deal with other people's closeness, so she is in a daze. It's not that she doesn't react but that she doesn't know what to do. I don’t know how to deal with it.”
At this point, his voice deepened.
"It's natural. Eriki has never been to school since she was a child, and she has never had friends, so naturally she doesn't know how to make friends or how to deal with other people's closeness. She is actually insulated from human society. These two Personally, this is probably the first friend she has made in her life.”
Although he did not learn well from being a gangster since he was a child, he also went to elementary school in a serious way, and his interpersonal communication is not like a blank slate like Eri.
Eriki's response is actually very clumsy. If she were in a Japanese school, she would be quickly understood as not interested in making friends, and then she would be quickly alienated.
Fortunately, these two foreigners did not know this type of "reading the air" and did not reject Eri Yi because of this, so that Eri Yi's first friendship experience would not be a failure.
Hearing this, Sakura felt Yuan Zhisheng's depression and self-blame.
He claims to be an older brother, but he has never even taught his younger sister basic interpersonal communication. How can he be qualified to be an older brother?
She couldn't help but comforted a little awkwardly.
"Isn't Young Master considered a friend of Miss Eriyi?"
It's OK to be both a brother and a friend. The only one in the Sheqi family who is willing to play games with Eriki is Minamoto Zhisheng. She feels that as an older brother, Minamoto Zhisheng doesn't need to blame himself too much.
"Me? Ha~ Of course it doesn't count."
Yuan Zhisheng shook his head and laughed at himself.
"This is a prison, and I am just the jailer who holds the prisoners."
In fact, he felt that being called an older brother was shameless, just because Eri really needed an older brother to take care of her.
"As a jailer, how can you be dissatisfied with friends who visit prisoners? Prisoners need more than just a break, they also want freedom!"
Yuan Zhisheng sighed, leaned on the chair, and followed the birds outside the window to face the sunshine.
Seeing this scene, Sakura's heart moved.
She finally realized why Minamoto was no longer angry about Miss Eriki being abducted.
In Minamoto's mind, he regards himself as a jailer and Eri as an imprisoned prisoner.
Rather than saying that he was not angry at Su Mo's behavior, it was better to say that he actually subconsciously hoped that someone could rescue Eriki from this prison.
He does regard Eri as his sister, so he hopes that Eri can break away from his status as a prisoner, gain freedom, and fly further away.
Thinking of this, she keenly noticed Minamoto's choice of words. Even though there was only one person in Eriyi, he called her "prisoners" and "them" in the plural form.
Does this mean that the young master regards himself as a prisoner like Miss Eriki, and is also eager to break out of this prison?
Sakura thought silently, unable to find anything to say to comfort Yuan Zhisheng.
Yuan Zhisheng didn't need her comfort, he wasn't weak enough yet.
After putting the photos of Su Mo and Eriki away, he took out another photo.
It was a photo taken at a ramen shop. Eriki held up a huge ramen bowl, burying her little face in the bowl and sipping the soup. The petite girl, who was as delicate and cute as a doll or a doll, was helping her smooth her hair. .
"Have you found out this girl's information? Are you sure she is the real princess?"
Yuan Zhisheng asked.
The title "Her Royal Highness" is inherited from the feudal monarchy. There is no modern country in Russia, and there is no so-called princess in the former Soviet Union. If we trace the origin further back, it is Tsarist Russia.
Yuan Zhisheng was not particularly good at history, but he also knew that the Russian royal family should have been killed during social changes, and their bloodline should have been severed.
Could it be that the last princess, Anastasia, was not actually dead, but got married and had a daughter?
"it is true."
Sakura nodded and pulled out another pile of information.
Compared with Su Mo, whose background is simple and clear, Zero's background is more complicated, and the investigation took a longer time, and he just received it.
"She is called Sister Zero by Miss Eriyi. Her full name is Zero Razumovskaya Romanova. Her lineage can be traced back to Elizabeth Petrovna, also known as Elizabeth I. This is Peter Daughter of the Emperor and Catherine I.”
Knowing that Yuan Zhisheng was actually too lazy to look through too much information, she simply summarized the information.
"Tsar Nicholas II and his family were indeed executed, but Romanov's surname is still there, just changed his surname."
"After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, they were allowed to restore the Romanov surname and inherit part of the palace. Miss Zero is Her Royal Highness whose bloodline has been officially certified. She is in charge of the current Romanov family, and even Elizabeth Palace. Her belongings are only what she allows to be displayed to the outside world.”
"The princess of Tsarist Russia..."
Yuan Zhisheng nodded silently.
Russia has long abandoned its monarchy, and the so-called "Her Royal Highness" is just a title, and its influence is far less than that of countries with a constitutional monarchy.
But the Romanov family is one of the plutocrats. With the power of the other party, it still has a strong political influence. Even the Minister of Defense or Foreign Affairs will not refuse the invitation of the Romanov family.
In other words, the other party is indeed not a political figure on the surface, but it is more influential than a political figure on the surface. Even the Sheqi family will not be willing to take action against the owner of such a family.
If the other party has malicious intentions and takes the initiative to attack, the Sheqi family will not be afraid, but if the other party does not show any malicious intent, they will not be able to attack it.
Not to mention that the eight Sheqi families are now in the most tense period of fighting, and it is definitely not the best idea to make enemies rashly.
