Nagasawa Yumi shook her head: "As far as I know, no, he has never married or had children."
"Really?" Songgang Dong didn't ask any more questions but thought while eating.
"Why are you asking Butler Fujiwara? What happened?" Yumi Nagasawa asked curiously.
Shinomiya Mikoto also looked at him curiously and waited for his answer. She knew that if there was nothing wrong, Matsuoka Dong would not ask this.
"Well, actually I don't know if I'm thinking too much..." Song Gangdong looked at their expressions and knew he had to say it.
Then he told them about the doubts he had seen and the possibilities he had thought of. After listening to them, they looked incredulous.
"Impossible, there will be no problem with Butler Fujiwara, he is like a family member to me," said Shinomiya Mikoto, shaking her head.
Nagasawa Yumi agreed and said, "Butler Fujiwara is a very good man. He donated almost all of his money. You must have seen it wrong."
Songgang Dong replied with certainty: "I am definitely not mistaken. The person who drove the luxury car and entered the five-star hotel was Butler Fujiwara."
Chapter 51 Trust
In Nagasawa's maid shop, Shinomiya Mikoto fell silent when she saw Matsuoka Dong's very sure look, and began to doubt the memory of Fujiwara butler in her mind.
"So it's better to check it out," Song Gangdong reminded.
Shinomiya hesitated and said, "I still don't believe that Butler Fujiwara will do anything bad to the Shinomiya family."
"It's hard to say, but you are the one who makes the decision," Songgang Dong responded.
"Miss, why don't you check it out? After all, Butler Fujiwara was very mysterious in the past and sometimes he would disappear for a while," Nagasawa Yumi advised after thinking for a while.
"No, after my foot is healed, I will ask Butler Fujiwara in person," Shinomiya refused after making up his mind.
"Then listen to what the lady says." Yumi Nagasawa looked at her and nodded.
Song Gangdong on the side didn't care. After all, this matter didn't have much to do with him. He just happened to see it and was curious. Now that he had already told Sigong, he didn't plan to get involved.
The atmosphere was a bit heavy because of the matter of Butler Fujiwara, but as more people started to come into the store, Yumi Nagasawa went to work, and they said goodbye after eating.
“I think it’s a good idea for you to work part-time here.”
Matsuoka Dong tried to persuade them as they watched the dim sum shop gradually move away. At this time, the two of them had already got into a taxi, and he mentioned Nagasawa Yumi's suggestion just now.
Shinomiya Mikoto said with a headache: "Yumi-sister asked me to be the store manager, how can this be possible?"
"That's true, but it's still okay to work part-time here and the people here are familiar to her, which is much better than the old man's store. When the time comes, you can emphasize to her that you are just an ordinary part-time student, and she will definitely accept it," Songgang Dong said with a smile.
"That's for sure, but let's talk about it after my foot is healed. But I still don't think it's appropriate to come here." Shinomiya could imagine the situation where Yumi-san didn't let her work.
"That's right," Song Gangdong nodded.
Then he thought for a moment and said, "After the compensation comes in this time, you should have a lot of money. This should be enough to repay the money in the agreement. It seems that you will be free soon."
Shinomiya Mikoto glanced at him calmly and replied: "You think too much. This amount of money is far from enough for the penalty."
"It seems that my dad is quite dark," Song Gangdong complained somewhat embarrassedly.
"Don't say that Uncle Songgang. Actually, I am still very grateful, but don't think too much. I don't have any thoughts about you or me," she defended.
"I understand, but if you fail to fulfill the agreement, do you really have to marry me?" Song Gangdong asked curiously.
"Of course, I will never break the contract, but I will definitely terminate the agreement," Shinomiya Mikoto said firmly.
Songgang Dong shrugged. In fact, Sigong could just not fulfill the agreement now. He couldn't get a taste of it anyway, and a forced melon would not be sweet. But after all, the other party was a person who abided by the spirit of the contract.
Moreover, there is still a long time before the deadline of the agreement, so there is no need to be too anxious now and just wait and see.
It was already past 3pm when they got home. Saori Onishi had not returned from club activities yet, so they and Marshmallow were the only ones in the house again.
"Is Marshmallow well behaved at home? He must be very lonely all by himself." After entering the house, Mikoto Shinomiya hugged him and stroked him.
Marshmallow was also very well-behaved, wagging his tail slowly and interacting with her with his paws. His heterochromatic eyes were wide open and very cute.
"You play with her, I'm going upstairs." Songgang Dong felt very healed looking at the harmonious scene between the beautiful girl and the cat.
"Oh oh" she responded without looking up.
Song Gangdong then went up to the attic. Yes, he had to rush to finish the manuscript. After all, he didn't have any system or anything like that, and it would still take some effort to restore the manuscript by hand and memory.
"Today is just the right time to finish next week's painting." Song Gangdong stretched his cervical spine and shoulders and then began to concentrate.
At this time, Shinomiya Mikoto was playing with the cat downstairs and thought of the matter of Butler Fujiwara. To be honest, she was a little shaken, but she still chose to believe it.
"Did Butler Fujiwara hide anything? Why did our family suddenly go bankrupt? Was there anything wrong with my father's death?" she muttered to herself.
Because of the series of blows that followed, she had no energy to think about these things some time ago, but because of Fujiwara's matter, all of them have come to her mind now.
However, she currently has too little information so she has no clue at all, but she plans to find the truth bit by bit in the future.
"Meow..." Marshmallow's cry brought her back to her senses.
"What's wrong with you, little one?" she said with a smile, holding it up.
Marshmallow struggled to get down, so she simply let go of it. It then ran to the newly bought cat bowl and looked at her pitifully with its big eyes.
"So you are hungry. I will find you something to eat right away." Sigong got up to look for it, but because it was put there by Songgang, he couldn't find it for a while.
"Wait a minute, I'll go upstairs and ask." She stroked the marshmallow and went upstairs.
"Songgang, where did you put the cat food?" she asked while knocking on the door.
After waiting for a long time with no response, she opened the door in confusion and found no one inside. After thinking for a moment, she went up to the attic.
It is easy for Songgang Dong to ignore the outside sounds when he is working, so I didn’t hear him just now. He is still drawing the manuscript. He is very fast. If other cartoonists see it, they will definitely be amazed.
"Your imitation is very similar. Is this new? I haven't had the chance to see it yet." Shigong had already come behind him and watched for a while.
The voice interrupted his state immediately. Fortunately, he was not the kind of person who would get angry because of this. He was just a little surprised when she came.
"What do you want from me?" Song Gangdong stopped writing, turned around and asked in confusion.
"Oh, I just wanted to ask where the cat food is. I went to your room just now and saw that no one was there, so I came up." She picked up the original manuscript she had just drawn and started to look at it.
She also reads comics during her free time, so she is very familiar with Slam Dunk. After reading two pages, she exclaimed: "Mr. Mugong Yamaoka is really amazing. I really want an autograph."
"Um...here you go." Song Gangdong casually took a piece of manuscript paper, wrote his name on it and handed it to her.
Sigong rolled his eyes at him and said disdainfully, "I'm talking about Mr. Mugong Yamaoka. Who cares about your signature? And since you can draw so well, why don't you just keep imitating others and try to draw yourself?"
Song Gangdong said with a smile on his face: "That's right, because I am Mugong Shangang."
"You? Haha, stop joking. If you were Teacher Mu Gong, I would still be a royal princess." Shinomiya Mikoto covered her mouth and laughed.
But he smiled and watched Songgang Dong's smiling face gradually stop, then swallowed his saliva and asked carefully again: "Are you really Mr. Mugong? The author of Slam Dunk?"
"I've already told you, think about what the combination of Mugong and Shangang means?" Songgang Dong replied with a smile.
"It's Songgang! It's really you!!!" Shinomiya Mikoto muttered for a while and then shouted with her eyes wide open.
Chapter 52: The Girls' Shock
In the living room, Shinomiya Mikoto was sitting on the sofa holding a marshmallow, her eyes fixed on Matsuoka who was busy in the kitchen. It had been a while since she came down from upstairs, but she still couldn't believe that Matsuoka Dong was the popular comics author.
"That guy actually has such a hidden identity," Shinomiya Mikoto exclaimed.
At first, she thought that Songgang Dong was just the son of a nouveau riche, and was probably very arrogant and domineering. When she first entered the door, she was prepared for a continuous struggle, but she didn't expect that the other party behaved like an ordinary student.
She was relieved at that time, and then thought that he was just an ordinary student who had not been changed by money. However, his cooking skills, fighting skills and interpersonal skills later made her look at him with new eyes.
However, these were nothing to her and were considered within the normal range. But the identity of the cartoonist this time really surprised her. After all, this was a professional field, and it would bring both fame and fortune.
"I'm back!" Saori's voice came from the entrance.
After a while, Saori came in with a tired face, and then she lay down on the sofa motionless, looking exhausted.
"You just joined the tennis club today, and started training on the first day?" Shinomiya Mikoto asked puzzledly.
Saori Onishi has been playing tennis since she was a child. She was the main player in the tennis club in her previous school, so she continued to play after transferring here.
"Well, I have to work harder. I want to participate in the national competition as a main player, and Haicheng High School is a strong tennis school, so I have to work harder," she replied weakly.
Shigong poured her a cup and said jokingly, "Then do your best. The competition in the sports department is really fierce."
Saori stood up and drank it in one breath and responded, "Not bad, I haven't recovered because I was slack for a few days. I will definitely get the official player spot."
"You seem very confident," Shinomiya responded with a smile.
"That's right. By the way, was everything going well for you today? Did you win the lawsuit?" Saori asked hurriedly.
Shinomiya nodded, "It went smoothly. Lawyer Daizhen was very capable and got 500 million yen in compensation."
"Wow! There are so many. You must treat us," Saori was very surprised.
"Wait until the weekend," Shinomiya promised happily.
Then the two began to chat about the details of today. The atmosphere was very lively until Song Gangdong invited them to eat.
"Are you two hiding something from me?" Saori asked the two of them doubtfully while eating.
"No, what can I hide?" Sigong quickly denied.
"Then why do you always look at Songgang-san, Mikoto-san?" Saori asked suspiciously.
"Cough cough cough..." Shinomiya Mikoto started coughing due to choking.
Saori, who was standing by, patted her on the back and handed her some water. After a while, Shinomiya finally recovered and said angrily, "I don't know if I can tell you this..."
As she spoke, she looked at Matsuoka, which made Saori look back and forth between them in confusion, causing her to feel a little panicked.
"Could it be that they have confirmed their relationship?" She secretly thought of the worst case scenario in her heart.
"Tell me." Song Gangdong actually had no intention of hiding it.
After a while......
"What! Brother Songgang is the author of Slam Dunk, he is Mugong Shanggang!" Saori shouted in shock.
Song Gangdong helplessly reminded: "Keep your voice down, there's no need to be so exaggerated, it's just a best-selling comic."
This guy started pretending again. In fact, he felt very happy when he saw the two people's surprised expressions, but of course he had to pretend to be calm on the surface.
"Isn't this an exaggeration? Brother Songgang, when did you learn to draw comics? It's only been two years, but why do I feel like I have missed a lot?" Saori said with a roll of her eyes at him.
"Well...I have indeed developed some new hobbies during this period," said Songgang Dong with twinkling eyes.
Then Saori said admiringly: "Matsuoka brother is really amazing now, he is worthy of being my future husband."
