The Amazing son in law Chapter 1354
Charlie flashed a smile and remarked, “Mr. Kobayashi is quite decent; you can tell he’s a lively guy, just a tad shorter than most.”
This comment left Jiro Kobayashi feeling a bit down.
At just under 1.7 meters tall, he falls within the average range for Asian men, but he doesn’t quite meet the conventional ideals of wealth and attractiveness.
Jiro often fantasized about reaching 1.8 meters, but despite numerous attempts, he had yet to achieve that height.
Consequently, his height had always been a source of inner turmoil.
Now, standing in front of Nanako Ito, who is 1.5 meters tall, and being teased by Charlie, he struggled to maintain his composure.
Charlie then added, “Hey, Mr. Kobayashi, I didn’t realize your Mandarin was so fluent! It’s much better than your brother’s!”
Jiro quickly responded, “My brother was quite lazy during his life and didn’t take learning Chinese seriously.”
“Oh…” Charlie replied with a nod and a grin, “I heard your company sponsored this Sanda competition. Is that why you’re in Aurous Hill?”
“Yes, indeed…” Jiro Kobayashi wiped the sweat from his brow and hurriedly explained, “We are the sponsors of this event, and I’ll be personally presenting the championship award after the finals.”
Charlie nodded with a smile and turned to Aurora, who was beside him, saying, “Aurora, have you noticed this short guy? He’ll be giving you your prize when you win the championship.”
“Short…?!”
Jiro Kobayashi felt a wave of disappointment wash over him!
In Japan, he wasn’t considered short, so why did Charlie label him that way?
Furthermore, he felt Charlie was being overly critical when he referred to himself as short. After all, he stood at a respectable height of nearly 1.7 meters—did he really seem so insignificant to Aurora?
Feeling disheartened, Jiro recognized he was out of his element and didn’t dare to display his frustration.
At that moment, Yamamoto Kazuki appeared displeased.
He shot a cold glance at Charlie and said, “Isn’t your tone a bit too arrogant, sir?”
Charlie frowned, pointed at Jiro Kobayashi, and asked Yamamoto Kazuki, “Master, don’t you think it’s accurate to describe him as short?”
Jiro felt another blow to his pride, nearly choking on his words as anger simmered within him.
Suddenly, Nanako Ito let out a chuckle. Get full chapters from find~novel~net
She realized that Charlie was intentionally poking fun at Jiro Kobayashi, but she didn’t expect him to be so entertaining.
Yamamoto Kazuki then said, his tone dark, “I wasn’t referring to this short man; I meant your earlier comment to Aurora. The champion of this competition will undoubtedly be Nanako Ito beside me. She’s the youngest and most talented Sanda master in Japan! No one in her peer group can compare!”
Upon hearing this, Nanako Ito quickly lowered her head and humbly replied, “Master, you flatter me. There’s an old Chinese saying that goes, ‘There is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond this world.’ I wouldn’t dare to claim that I’m unmatched…”
Yamamoto Kazuki replied coldly, “Nanako! A true warrior must always possess the faith and confidence to win!”
