Chapter 79: Inconsistency Between Appearance and Duplicity, a Combination of Cold and Warm

"Me Company", the full name of Massive Electric, is headquartered in the Far East region. It is a research institute under the "Anti-Entropy" organization and is apparently a well-known multinational electronics manufacturer.

Raiden Ryoma is currently the deputy director of Me Club's Deadly Persons Research Institute, one of the directors of Me Club, one of the members of Anti-Entropy, and the father of Raiden Meiyi.

Although it is already autumn, the Far East has been surprisingly hot these days. In the evening, the heat has not faded away, and an orange-red sunset glows in the western sky.

Mei’s kendo training room,

The four-year-old Raiden Mei dropped the children's bamboo knife in her hand, sat down on the wooden floor, and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeves.

Perhaps because there was no one around, Miss Mei did not pay attention to her own image.

She has a little secret that no one knows. Not long ago, she met a legendary figure in the comics here, the Sword Master Homu.

Homu Sword Master is very powerful. Although his body shape looks clumsy, but... he is very powerful anyway.

Meiyi is still young and doesn't know how to describe a person's power. In her eyes, the adults around her are all powerful, but Sword Master Homu is even more powerful than them.

The Homu Sword Master said that she was a rare genius in a thousand years, and gave her the important task of guarding mankind and safeguarding world peace. He also taught her an "invincible" swordsmanship called "Beichen Itto Style". ”.

It's probably because Mei is too young and not sensible yet, so Sword Master Homu dares to say anything.

Ever since she got to know the Homu Sword Master, Mei would come here spontaneously every day to practice kendo hard. Occasionally, she would also spar with the Homu Sword Master who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

In the courtyard not far away, beside a blooming wisteria, Thunder and Lightning Ryoma, who had changed into a Homu doll costume, was secretly looking at his daughter.

That's right, the Homu Sword Master is him.

He wanted to be friends with his daughter. However, every time he faced his daughter with his true face, Raiden Ryoma would be a little... "shy" and he would unconsciously put on a serious and solemn "strict father" appearance.

He loved his daughter very much, but he didn't know how to get along with her, so he had to put on a homu suit, which allowed him to be more relaxed.

After putting on the "mask", he took off the "mask".

Thunderbolt Ryoma has experienced great storms, seen a lot of the world, and been in contact with different types of people. He has very good abilities in many fields. However, he has difficulties in getting along with his daughter and educating his children.

He was very tangled and contradictory in his heart.

On the one hand, he hopes that his daughter can be carefree and live happily every day.

But on the other hand, he also hopes that Mei can stand out and become a person who surpasses him.

The two are in conflict, and growth is bound to be accompanied by pain.

If the daughter's talent was just poor, Raiden Ryoma would not be so difficult to make a choice and would choose to have another child and raise the lovely Mei for the rest of her life.

However, Mei Yi's qualifications and talents are extraordinary.

Last year, Raiden Ryoma took his daughter to Tianting's headquarters and tested Mei's physical fitness, Honkai energy resistance, etc. He was particularly surprised and shocked by the results.

If Mei can become a Herrscher... maybe she can take the Raiden family to a higher level, and even become a behemoth alongside Kaslana and other families.

In fact, in the past few years, Raiden Ryoma's family has developed very well due to his efforts. Just looking at financial resources, it can keep pace with some established aristocratic families, or even surpass them.

But this alone is not enough. Financial resources are not the most important. The key is "incorporation" and "strength".

Meiyi can change their family's current embarrassing status. This is very tempting. It is so tempting that Raiden Ryoma dare not tell others about his daughter's qualifications. It is so tempting... that he even wants to put his daughter on the "gambling table".

Not just those with good qualifications can be selected as a lawyer, but they must also be responsible, willing to contribute, mentally mature, and determined...

Therefore, Raiden Ryoma is "gamble". He doesn't know what Mei Yi's future temperament and character will be like in the "peaceful" and "warmth" growing environment. He only knows that his true intention is not to push his daughter into that situation. position, and I don’t want to impose excessive pressure on my daughter.

However, he also knows that reality is often very helpless and cruel, and what he should do most is to go against his own heart.

After another daily struggle for a while, Thunderbolt Ryoma drove away all the chaotic thoughts and re-adjusted his state.

Plans can never keep up with changes, so let’s talk about the future later.

Perhaps one day he will go against his own will and become the person he once hated the most, but not now.

"Mei."

Raiden Ryoma walked into the kendo training room. He wanted to face his daughter with a smile, but he couldn't help but straighten his face, and his tone was very cold and serious.

"Father!"

Hearing the voice behind her, Mei hurriedly sat down in panic. She changed from a careless child who didn't care about her appearance to a dignified and lovely young lady and little princess.

Raiden Ryoma wanted to subconsciously scold his daughter, but he held it back and pretended not to notice.

In fact, he prefers the lively and cheerful Mei Yi. He really doesn't want his daughter to learn etiquette lessons, and he doesn't want Mei Yi to become a doll at the mercy of others.

But, some things are not him

He has the final say, let alone what he wants. As the eldest lady of the family, Raiden Mei must always pay attention to her own image.

"Go to your mother and ask her to help you change into a formal dress, and then go to a dinner party with us." Raiden Ryoma said expressionlessly.

Seeing that her father did not reprimand her, Xiao Mei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

It seems that Dad didn't see the way she was slacking off just now.

"Yes!" Xiao Yayi stood up and said.

Thirty minutes later,

The elegantly dressed Meiyi family walked into a black six-seater business car and sat in the back seat.

Mei's mother hugged Mei and sat on the right side, while Raiden Ryoma naturally sat on the left.

"Mom, where are we going?" Xiao Yayi raised her head and asked.

"St. Freya Academy." Mei Ma smiled softly.

"St. Freya's Academy? What... is it... a school?"

"Um."

"Aren't we... going to a banquet?"

Despite Mei's young age, she has attended several banquets with her parents, and each banquet was held either in a hotel, a private manor, or a school... She has not been there yet.

Mei doesn't like to attend banquets. It's too noisy and she can't understand the topics discussed by the adults. Moreover, although the atmosphere of the banquet seems relaxed and casual, she can eat, drink and play as she wants, but... There are actually many rules.

Children of this age are indeed not suitable for attending "adults" banquets.

"Although the location is not very formal, the people you met today are all real big shots." Raiden Ryoma said with a straight face.

"Not very formal? A real... big shot?"

"Um."

"Was the person I met before a false big shot?"

"No, it's just that the 'nature' is different."

"Then what should I do?"

Xiao Mei suddenly became nervous. She didn't know what a real big shot meant, but it sounded like he was very powerful.

Thunderbolt Ryoma thought for a while and said: "Just relax, don't be nervous, you will be what you are like in the future, there is no need to pretend. They are different from the people you have met before, and they will not be afraid of you. I won’t look down on you if I accuse you of being lively and rude, let alone gossip behind your back.”

"Usual... appearance? What do you mean? Why?"

Mei thought that as long as she attended the terrible banquet, she would have to dress up as a sensible little lady! Otherwise, you will be disgusted by adults. Why don't you have to pretend when you face "real big shots"?

"The more a person lacks something, the more he pays attention to it." Raiden Ryoma explained, "The people you see today don't pay much attention to 'form' and rigid and cumbersome etiquette, because they don't lack these things. What they value more is The true side of a person.”

Meiyi didn't understand and looked confused.

Raiden Ryoma naturally saw this, and he continued: "Mei, never judge or criticize a person by his appearance. The best thing people are good at is disguise.

“Don’t just look at a person’s appearance of being kind, gentle, and elegant and think that he is that kind of person. He may be very bad in private, and his hobbies may be very wicked.

"You must learn to question. Of course, questioning does not mean that you use your self-righteous subjective thoughts to guess or 'label' a person."

Mei Yi still didn't understand, she was even more confused. Raiden Ryoma's words were too early for a 4-year-old child.

However, despite being nervous, she felt a little happy in her heart. It seemed that... tonight's banquet was not as "torturous" as before.

"Why are you telling her this? Are you the only one who can speak? Do you need to educate me?" Yayi's mother glanced at her husband and said dissatisfied.

The daughter is not considered an outsider and does not need to "pretend", so she does not save face for her husband.

"She has to find out sooner or later."

"Then you'll know later!"

"..."

Raiden Ryoma stopped talking. He was not afraid of his wife, but...well...respectful, yes! Respect your wife.

The couple had differences over the education of their daughter.

Yai's mother felt that there was no need for her husband to educate Yai so seriously and strictly. Not only were those big principles too early for a child, but if she heard them, they would also affect her mood.

Besides, even if Mei can understand, remember, and memorize it, her daughter probably won’t take it to heart because Mei has no relevant experience and experience, so it’s hard for her to be touched by those principles.

Moreover, the truth is there. Isn’t what is written in the book better than what Thunder and Lightning Dragon Horse says? Is it useful for him to say? Show off your culture?

In short, Mei's mother thinks that Raiden Ryoma's education method is wrong. It is better for him to play with Mei as a childish Homu Swordsman. For now, that is the correct education method.

In a moment,

"correct."

Thunder Ryoma seemed to have thought of something, and said to his daughter: "Tonight you will probably meet a little sister who is more than one year younger than you. Her name is Bianca, and she is the little princess of the Kaslana family. , your hair is white, you two can get along well.

"As a sister, you have to be kind to her. Of course, I don't mean to please her, just get along with her normally. If she has a naughty personality and you don't like it, go back to your mother and don't quarrel with her. Be evil and stay away from her from now on.

"Also, Li

A man named Siegfried was further away. "
