The second is a man who is always carrying a camera and shooting everywhere, Hiroki Kakutani, a film magazine editor.

Then there is the man with long black hair and a headband, Masaru Ota, a broker for a foreign car company.

Finally, there is a short-haired man with a chubby build and a simple look, Takahashi Ryoichi, the manager of a food company.

For Karasuma Ying, there is also Suzuki Sonoko's biological sister, the initiator of this party, Suzuki Ayako, a gentle woman with squinting eyes.

[She is Suzuki Ayako...]

Karasuma Ying quietly looked at Suzuki Ayako. No matter from which angle you look at her, Suzuki Ayako is a standard Yamato Nadeshiko-style woman. It is really hard to imagine that she would have the courage to resist the marriage arranged by her parents, and succeed...

"Don't mention Atsuko anymore!"

Suddenly, Chikako Ikeda slammed the table and stood up, scaring back the distracted Karasuma Ying.

"Chikako..."

Suzuki Ayako, who was sitting next to her, looked up at her helplessly, while the other people all had different expressions, seemingly all because of the name "Atsuko".

Apart from the unaware Mao Lilan and a few others present, only Shizuo Shizuka had a very calm expression and was still eating the rice in her bowl slowly.

Chikako Ikeda seemed to realize her overreaction at this time, she took a long breath and sat down again, explaining:

"We finally found some time to get together and relax. I don't want to talk about someone who died two years ago..."

"Hmm?" The handsome long-haired man Ota Katsu looked at her and said jokingly:

"When you become famous, your tone of voice changes..."

"What did you say?"

"Alright, both of you stop talking."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Suzuki Ayako quickly stood up and said with a smile:

"The food is getting cold. I'll go get some drinks for everyone. Anyone want a drink?"

"Oh! Give me some then!" The speaker was Hiroki Kakutani who was holding a camera.

"Okay, I'll be right there..."

"Ayako, I'll go."

At this time, Shizuka Shizuka, who had been quiet all the time, finally put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, stood up and pulled Suzuki Ayako.

Suzuki Ayako didn't insist and nodded immediately, "Well, then I'll trouble you, Shizuka-kun."

"I'm going out to relax."

At this moment, Chikako Ikeda stood up and walked straight out of the house alone.

"Hey, wait, Chikako... Sorry Ayako! I won't drink the wine for now!"

Upon seeing this, Hiroki Kakutani quickly put his hands together and apologized to Suzuki Ayako, then put down the camera in his hand and chased after Ikeda Chikako and left the villa.

"Ugh?"

Looking at the two people who suddenly left, Suzuki Ayako looked embarrassed.

At this time, the plump Takahashi Ryoichi also stood up and said:

"In that case, shall I go and fix the broken roof? I think it will rain soon, and it will be troublesome if it leaks."

When he was in college, Ryoichi Takahashi was a prop master in the club. Repairing a roof was a piece of cake for him.

"That's it..."

Looking at Takahashi Ryoichi helplessly, Suzuki Ayako finally nodded.

It seems that we won’t be able to have dinner today…

"Ayako, let's go prepare some midnight snacks for them?" Beside her, Shizuka Shizuka suggested, looking at the depressed Suzuki Ayako.

"okay."

Suzuki Ayako looked up at Shizuka Shizuka, her squinting eyes full of tenderness.

"How can we repair..."

On the side, Suzuki Sonoko gritted her teeth as she watched the two of them being so affectionate, she was so envious and jealous that she wanted to bang her head against the wall.

hateful!

When will I, Suzuki Sonoko, meet such a good man? !

Chapter 13 Supergirl Bestie

"Crash-"

The sky was covered with dark clouds. There were a few drops of rain at first, and then soon, heavy rain began to pour outside the villa.

Mao Lilan, Karasuma Ying and Conan stood by the window, looking at the rain outside.

"It's raining after all. I can't enjoy the beautiful maple leaves now..."

Mao Lilan sighed softly, then looked at Karasuma Ying beside her, only to find that Karasuma Ying was staring blankly out the window, her eyes out of focus, as if she was distracted.

"Sister Ying?"

"Hmm?" Karasuma Ying suddenly came back to her senses and looked at Mao Li Ran with a smile.

"What's wrong? You seemed to be distracted just now..." Mao Lilan looked at her worriedly.

"Eh? Um... I was thinking about the dinner that Mr. Shimizu made. I didn't expect that although Mr. Shimizu is a man, his cooking skills are so good. I am really ashamed of myself..."

Karasuma Ying said somewhat ashamedly that although Suzuki Ayako was in the kitchen before, it was actually Shizuka Shizuka who cooked, and Suzuki Ayako was mainly responsible for helping.

"Yeah, I didn't expect Mr. Shimizu to be such a good cook."

Mao Lilan nodded in agreement. Although the dinner just now ended abruptly due to some minor conflicts, it did not affect her enjoyment of the delicious food.

"By the way, Xiaolan, can Shinichi cook?"

Suddenly, Suzuki Sonoko appeared behind Mouri Ran and asked with a smile.

"Eh? Shinichi? I think he will definitely do this. After all, Shinichi has lived alone in Japan before..."

"Shinichi? Is he your boyfriend, Xiaolan, who has been taking leave recently?" Karasuma Ying asked curiously after hearing this.

She had known Mouri Ran and others for a short time, but she had heard Suzuki Sonoko mention it a few times before that Mouri Ran seemed to have a childhood sweetheart named Kudo Shinichi, who was said to be a very famous detective.

"No, not my boyfriend..."

Mao Lilan retorted with a red face and lowered her head. For some reason, Conan beside her also blushed.

"Oh - so he's not your boyfriend?" Suzuki Sonoko came forward, almost touching Mao Lilan's face, and smiled mischievously:

"In that case, it's okay for me to take him away, right?"

"No!" Mao Lilan shouted loudly immediately after hearing this.

"Ahehehe~~"

Seeing Mao Lilan's expression, Suzuki Sonoko became even happier. She changed the subject and continued:

"But what a pity, I didn't ask that guy to come along this time..."

"Who, who wants to come with a guy like him! If he dares to show up here, I will knock him down with one punch!"

Conan, who was standing by, looked at the blushing Mao Li Ran with dead fish eyes and complained silently in his heart.

[I am here now...]

"Miss, can we go for a walk outside together?"

When they were chatting happily, a frivolous voice sounded behind them.

Ota Masaru, who had long hair and a handsome appearance, walked over slowly with a smile.

As soon as Suzuki Sonoko saw him, she immediately looked like a crazy fan.

"Okay, okay! Let's go together!"

However, Ota Katsu walked straight past her and went towards Mao Li Ran who was standing aside.

"Ugh?"

Feeling an inexplicable pressure, Ran Mouri subconsciously stepped back, while Katsu Ota kept moving forward. The two of them stepped forward and backward until Ran Mouri leaned against the wall. Then Katsu Ota stopped, raised his hand and pressed it on the wall next to Ran Mouri's ear, posing as a wall-dong.

"Anyway, you don't have anything to do right now, right?"

"But, but it's raining outside now..." Ran Mouri was pushed against the wall for no apparent reason. She was a little flustered and had an awkward smile on her face.

"Isn't it nice to take a walk in the rain? Let's go."

Ota Katsu was obviously very experienced. He saw through Mouri Ran's panic at a glance. Without giving her any time to think or react, he directly grabbed her hand and ran towards the gate.

"Mr. Ota."

However, at this moment, an unexpected figure suddenly blocked his way.

Wu Wanying looked at Ota Sheng with a smile and said, "You can take a walk, but you can't force Xiaolan to do strange things."

"Sister Ying?"

Upon hearing this, Ota Katsu raised his hand to lift his bangs and smiled confidently.

"Hahahaha! My beautiful lady, how can it be called forced if it is something we both agree on..."

"Buzz!"

Before Ota Katsu could finish his words, Karasuma Ying suddenly punched the window next to her. The punch was extremely fast. Although she stopped her fist at the last moment, the wind from her fist still made the glass vibrate and make a buzzing sound!

It is not difficult to imagine that if this punch hits a person, he or she would probably not have to think about the rest of their life.

"Gudong..."

Looking at the window that was still shaking, Ota Katsu swallowed subconsciously and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Are you kidding?

This violates the laws of physics, doesn't it? Is this woman still human?

"Don't do weird things to Xiaolan, okay?" Karasuma Ying retracted his fist with a smile on his face.

"Yes, I'll follow your orders." Ota Katsu straightened his back uncontrollably.
