Game Tycoon C327 Familiar face
🕑 Added 2024-01-02 14:17:03 +0000 UTCShin arrived at the Sazama residence with his sleek and luxurious black car.
Shin and Mira, with Shinichi, occasionally visit Sazama and Kumiko, sometimes once a week, or once a month. It depends on their schedules. Shin and Mira, along with their son Shinichi, continue their visits with their grandparents.
Mira's grandfather has already passed away, but her grandmother is still there. So, once in a while, along with her parents, she meets with them, accompanied by Shinichi. Although Shin occasionally accompanies her, there are times he can't be with her on her family visits.
The moment the guard at the Sazama residence saw Shin, Mira, and Shinichi, they immediately bowed and opened the gate for them.
Afterwards, Shin's car gradually entered the Sazama residence through the gate.
Afterwards, Shin, Mira, with Shinichi, walked out of the car. They were led by the servant inside the mansion.
There, in the hall, Sazama and Kumiko welcomed them. The hall was simply decorated, yet it had a peaceful and calm atmosphere.
But in the hall, there were already people, such as Shuichi, along with a foreign red-haired woman and a baby.
The moment Shin, Mira, with their son Shinichi, entered the hall, it attracted the attention of Shuichi, the red-haired woman, and the baby, who were sitting around a low-slung table.
Shuichi, upon seeing Shin, furrowed his brows for a second before returning to his normal expression. He didn't expect Shinro to be coming here. Moreover, his grandparents just mentioned they were waiting for someone, and he didn't expect it to be Shinro and his wife, especially with their son.
Shuichi then noticed his grandfather and grandmother playing with Shinichi, completely captivated by their grandson's cute appearance. Seeing this, Shuichi felt solemn. From the looks of it, Shinichi still seems to be their favorite great-grandson.
Shin, accompanied by Mira, approached the table where Shuichi and the foreign red-haired woman were sitting.
The moment Shin saw the red-haired woman, he felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen her before, but it was just a fleeting moment. Dismissing it, he assumed she resembled someone from his memory. He focused on Shuichi and warmly greeted, "Cousin, how are you?"
Shuichi attempted a smile, feeling a bit uneasy, especially smiling genuinely in front of someone his parents often compared him to. He replied with a smile, "I'm doing just fine."
Shin nodded and placed the paper bag he was carrying on the wide yet low-slung table. He then took out a wine box from the bag.
Meanwhile, the red-haired woman beside Shuichi observed Shin with curiosity. Suddenly, a realization struck her, and she thought in astonishment, "Isn't he the one who sang that heartfelt song in the bar a few years ago!?"
Indeed, she was the same red-haired woman who had approached Shin that day, only to be ignored. Later, Shin sang a song captured by a camera, which gained popularity after media coverage a few days later.
Michelle Adams, the red-haired woman, didn't expect the man who left a great impression on her years ago to be her cousin-in-law.
Shuichi and Michelle noticed the wine box that Shin had just taken out from the paper bag, realizing it was a luxury brand.
It was Château Lafite Rothschild. Shuichi wasn't too surprised about Shin bringing such an expensive wine. After all, Shin could be considered a billionaire, although Shuichi wasn't entirely clear. He estimated Shin's worth to be at least around 800 million dollars to 1 billion.
Shuichi was hesitant to believe that Shin was a multibillionaire, considering that while Shin's company had a net worth in the billions, Shuichi knew it was unlikely for Shin to solely own KiShin. He was almost certain that there must be several investors, even if it was a private company. Otherwise, how could KiShin expand and grow so rapidly?
As Shin opened the wine box, he glanced at Shuichi and then at the red-haired woman carrying a baby. Shin inquired, "Who is this lady, cousin?"
Upon hearing this, the red-haired woman felt a bit uneasy, concerned that Shin might have recognized her, but she reassured herself. After all, it had been a few years since their last encounter.
Shuichi smiled and introduced Shin, saying, "This is my wife, Michelle Adams from the USA. She's going to be a Suzuki once we get married." He placed his hand on Michelle's waist as he spoke. Afterward, he also shared his baby's name with Shin and introduced Shin to Michelle.
In turn, Shin introduced Mira to Michelle, and Mira simply nodded in acknowledgment.
Upon learning that Shin was the "Shinro Suzuki" frequently mentioned in the USA, Michelle was a bit astonished. As she examined Shin more closely, she suddenly recalled seeing him on the cover of Forbes magazine.
It appears that the memory in the bar was still an unforgettable moment for Michelle, as she initially recalled that instead of the Forbes cover.
"Hello. Nice to meet you," Michelle smiled warmly as she greeted Shin. At the same time, she felt a bit relieved to see that Shin didn't seem to remember her at all.
Shin nodded, and afterward, the servants brought cups. Shin poured some wine into the cups and offered them to Shuichi and Michelle.
Mira got along well with Michelle, engaging in conversation. Michelle conversed lightly with Mira in rough Japanese.
While Shin and Shuichi conversed lightly, Shuichi didn't openly express his dislike for Shin, despite occasional comparisons by his parents. Shuichi talked with him normally.
During their conversation, Shuichi praised KiShin for the success of Gameboy Advance. Deep inside, he felt jealousy, but simultaneously, he knew he would be given a position in one of the companies under the Suzuki Group, lessening his envy.
As Shin and others discussed, Sazama and Kumiko's grandsons bonded well. Sazama approached his grandsons and then looked expectantly at Shin.
Shin smiled, understanding what the old man wanted, and handed him the game cartridge of "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney."
Shuichi looked curiously at the cartridge given by Shin to the old man but didn't pay it much attention. Video games were not really his interest, after all.
