"Speaking of which..." As if remembering something, Mao Lilan put her index finger against her chin and said:
"I remember Sister Ayako changed her fiancé a while ago..."
"Huh?" It was Conan who made the sound.
He knew that Suzuki Ayako was the eldest daughter of the Suzuki Group. She had a gentle personality and was completely different from her younger sister Suzuki Sonoko.
If I remember correctly, her fiancé should be Tomizawa Yuzo, the third biological son of the Tomizawa Group.
These two have been engaged for a long time, why did they suddenly change their partners? Could it be that there was a conflict between the Suzuki Group and the Tozawa Group?
"I don't know the specific reason, but I heard Sonoko say that Ayako's new fiancé seemed to have saved her, and that's why they became close...
But this new fiancé went abroad some time ago and just came back to Japan these few days. Maybe we can still see him at this party..."
【ha……】
Conan sighed slightly in his heart when he heard this.
Lifesaver and ex-fiancé, just hearing these two words, a super bloody youth love drama popped up in his mind.
Although Conan himself is not the son of a large conglomerate, he knows with just a little thought that the marriage between the two large conglomerates must involve a lot of interests.
How could Suzuki Ayako have the courage to resist such a marriage of convenience, and even succeed?
He did have some admiration for it.
The three of them chatted along the way and gradually approached the villa where the gathering was to take place.
The location of this villa is very special. It is built on the other side of the abyss and is connected to this side only by a wooden suspension bridge.
If this suspension bridge is cut, everyone in the villa will be trapped and die there, right?
For some reason, this thought suddenly popped up in Wu Wanying's mind.
"Huh, we're finally here, right in front of us... Hey? There seems to be someone on the suspension bridge? Isn't he going to the villa too?"
The other two looked in the direction that Mao Lilan pointed, and saw that there was indeed a mysterious man covered in a black robe in the middle of the suspension bridge.
The mysterious man seemed to have heard Xiaolan's voice and looked back.
This sight frightened all three of them.
The mysterious man had bandages all over his face and looked very scary. He glanced at the three people, then suddenly ran across the suspension bridge at a rapid pace and disappeared into the woods around the villa.
"That person... he shouldn't be here to attend the party too, right?" Xiaolan forced a smile.
"It shouldn't be...right?"
Karasuma Ying and Conan also forced a smile.
“Welcome~”
The three of them arrived at the villa and rang the doorbell. The person who opened the door was a girl with short hair and her bangs pinned up with a hairband. It was Suzuki Sonoko, a close friend of Mouri Ran.
"Really!"
Seeing Mao Lilan outside the door, Suzuki Sonoko put her hands on her hips and pretended to be angry.
"I finally invited you here, why are you still late, Xiaolan?"
"Sorry, sorry, Sonoko, I got a little lost on the way..." Mao Li Ran replied apologetically.
"Really..."
Suzuki Sonoko was not really angry. She turned her gaze to Karasuma Ying who was standing next to her, and immediately stepped forward to hold Karasuma Ying's hand, saying with a smile:
"Aying, you're here too? This is the first time I invite you to my house. Don't worry, everyone is easy to talk to, don't be nervous."
"Ah."
"Speaking of which..."
Once again seeing a short, troublesome little kid, Suzuki Sonoko's smiling face instantly turned into a helpless look.
"Xiaolan, you really brought this child here, didn't you? Conan, how come you don't feel embarrassed to follow Sister Xiaolan like this every day?"
"Ahahahaha..." Conan smiled and acted cute, but he was complaining in his heart.
[You don’t need to teach me a lesson…]
"Really? With a child like this, Xiaolan, you can't have a romantic relationship, right?"
"in love?!"
As soon as these words came out, the three of them shouted at the same time.
Everyone should be familiar with this incident, right?
Chapter 12: Future Brother-in-law Shizumi Shizu
"in love?"
The three of them looked at Suzuki Sonoko in confusion. Didn't they come here to attend the party? Why did they want to fall in love?
"Yes, we came here just to meet some good boys."
Suzuki Sonoko said this while clasping her hands together under her cheeks, looking like a crazy fangirl.
"Here you can have a romantic relationship with them surrounded by nature~"
Maori Lan: ()
Conan: [You, woman, so this is what you were planning? ]
Karasuma Ying: [They...they?!]
They didn't chat outside the door for long before Suzuki Sonoko brought Mouri Ran and the other two into the villa.
The villa is two-story, with a large interior space and a wooden structure, but there is no one in it.
"Sonoko, those nice boys you mentioned haven't arrived yet?" asked Mao Lilan, looking at the somewhat empty villa.
"What are you thinking about, Xiaolan? My sister's classmates have arrived a long time ago, but they are all resting in their rooms now."
On the other side, Wu Wanying, who was changing shoes, heard this and asked, "Yuan Zi, among those people, is there anyone with a bandage on his head?"
She remembered the bandaged man in black robes she had seen on the suspension bridge before.
"Bandage? No, no one here today is injured?"
"Is that so..." After hearing this, Wu Wanying didn't ask any more questions.
"Okay, let's stop talking about this. Xiaolan, your two rooms are on the second floor. You and Conan will stay in one, and Ying and I will stay in another. Is that okay, Ying?"
"Okay." Wu Wanying nodded. She didn't mind.
"And Conan~"
Suzuki Sonoko suddenly fixed her eyes on Conan, bent down, and said seriously:
"Don't do anything weird to Sister Xiaolan at night."
"Ahahahaha..." Conan laughed cutely again.
[I won’t do that, stupid woman! ]
"Sister Ying, let's go up first."
Mao Lilan said something to Karasuma Ying, and then took Conan to the second floor.
"Okay, Aying, I'll take you to see our room too." Watching the two of them go upstairs, Suzuki Sonoko said to Karasuma Ying.
"Yeah." Wu Wanying nodded.
Just then, a figure suddenly walked out of the kitchen.
"Sonoko, is this your friend?"
The figure is a man wearing an apron. He looks gentle and handsome, and has a very charming voice.
"Yes, my future brother-in-law." Seeing the man, Suzuki Sonoko replied with a smile.
Future brother-in-law?
Upon hearing this, Wu Wanying looked at the man.
Is this the man who made Sonoko's sister turn down the original engagement? He seems to be a very gentle person.
"Aying, let me introduce you to this, this is my sister's current fiancé, Qing Shui Jing, a very special name, right?
Future brother-in-law, this is my classmate Wu Wanying. Ying is also here to attend my sister's party today. There is also another classmate Mao Lilan, but Xiaolan just went upstairs..."
Suzuki Sonoko enthusiastically introduced Shizuka Shizuka to her new brother-in-law. She had no opinion about her new future brother-in-law and was very open-minded about relationships. As long as it was someone her sister truly liked, she would give her all in favor of him.
What's more, Qing Shui Jing is actually not bad. Not only did he save his sister, he is also handsome, clean, elegant and gentle in conversation, cooks delicious food, can do housework, and has no male chauvinism...
In Suzuki Sonoko's opinion, her new brother-in-law scored perfect in all aspects except his family background!
Unlike her parents, as the second daughter of the Suzuki Group, she herself cares least about her background, and the same goes for her sister.
Damn it, why didn't Suzuki Sonoko meet such a good man? !
How can it be repaired?
"Hello." Shizuka Shizuka smiled and nodded at Karasuma Ying.
"Hello." Wu Wanying also nodded and greeted.
"Aying, my sister has gone to the warehouse to get the ingredients for tonight. She will probably be back in a while. I'll introduce them to you later. I'll take you to our room first."
Seeing the two people greet each other, Suzuki Sonoko hurriedly pulled Karasuma Ying away.
When the two walked a little further away, Suzuki Sonoko couldn't wait to whisper in Karasuma Ying's ear:
"Aying, what do you think of my future brother-in-law?"
"Well, he seems like a very nice person..."
"Hehe, I knew you would feel the same way... Damn, I'm so envious of my sister..."
The two of them walked away while talking in whispers. Behind them, Shizuka Shizuka looked at Karasuma Ying one more time before turning around and walking into the kitchen.
In the evening, as it was time for dinner, everyone came out of their rooms, and Mouri Ran and the other two got to know Suzuki Ayako's college classmates who came to the party.
First is the short-haired woman wearing a necklace, Chikako Ikeda, a well-known director and screenwriter.
