Chapter 707: Respect for Elders
"What should we do? Should we say we are too busy and reject the case?" Kuriyama Midori said with a worried look on her face.
As the apprentice of Eri Kisaki.
She obviously does not have the confident temperament of the undefeated queen who is never afraid of any opponent.
Hibiki Eri, who was sitting behind the desk, did not respond immediately when she heard her apprentice's words. She crossed her fingers and placed them on her towering chest, her eyes slightly narrowed, and her pretty face showed an expression of serious thought.
Seeing her mother was about to start working, Xiaolan felt anxious and quickly raised her voice and shouted, "Mom!"
"I'm sorry, Xiaolan..."
Kisaki Eri subconsciously raised her head and her eyes first fell on her daughter. However, when she saw Hanyu Kusunoki standing quietly beside her, the words that were about to come out of her mouth hesitated.
Between work and her daughter (son-in-law), she chose:
"Kuriyama, please pour us a cup of tea."
"Okay master."
Well, work is still not as important as my "daughter".
After Kuriyama Midori left the office, Hibiki Eri put down the file in her hand and looked at the two people in front of her. A smile appeared on her cold face, "You two, how come you have time to come and see me today?"
"As long as my mother-in-law is willing, Xiaolan and I can come to see you every day, rain or shine, day or night." Hanyu Kusunoki said with a smile as he put the bag in his hand on the table.
The corners of Hibiki's mouth slightly raised: "Xiao Nan's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter."
"Hehe, I taught me all this." Xiaolan smiled mischievously, eager to take credit like a little kid.
"Yes, yes, it was all taught by our Xiaolan."
Hanyu Nan laughed and took out the various gift boxes Mingmei had packed from the bag. "Aunt Yingli, you must have run out of the spiritual rice and toiletries. Xiaolan and I are here to bring you new ones."
"Yes, yes, there are also these snacks." Xiaolan nodded her head and took out a box of beautifully packaged snacks from her bag. After opening it, it was filled with various small cookies, small cakes, macarons...
Several girls did it at home in the morning.
The gourmet cell baking oven they tested last night gave them a taste of success, and they spent the entire morning immersed in the joy of making and baking various snacks.
We also got a variety of snacks with different special effects.
Energy, deliciousness, flight, hydration and more.
Of course, in addition to these, there are also some snacks with fancy special effects, such as changing hair color or making the body transparent after eating.
But these definitely cannot be given to Lawyer Fei. After all, she is an elder and must be respected.
So they picked snacks that had relatively normal effects.
Looking at the desk that was filled with all kinds of exquisite packaging boxes in the blink of an eye, Hibiki's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and after a long time, she sighed softly: "I'm really sorry to trouble you again, Xiaonan."
"It's not a problem. Respecting my mother-in-law is what a son-in-law should do." Hanyu Kusunoki winked at her half-jokingly, causing the barrister to chuckle.
"Mom, come and try this."
Xiaolan picked out a piece of bear biscuit from the snack box and handed it to Hibiki Eri impatiently. She said with her big eyes twinkling, "We made it ourselves. It's delicious."
"Okay, Mom, try it."
Looking at her daughter's excitement, Kisaki Eri couldn't help but smile.
She reached out to take the little bear biscuit, opened her red lips slightly, and took a small bite gracefully.
The moment she entered, she suddenly paused.
Then she couldn't help but let out a comfortable moan, melodious and lingering. A warm current flowed through her body, and the fatigue from a busy day disappeared at this moment.
After eating the whole bear biscuit, the refreshed Kisara looked at Hanyu Kusunoki with a bright look and asked curiously, "Kanyu, what is this..."
Hanyu Kusunoki smiled and his eyes paused on the snack box.
【Bear Biscuits "Energy"
After consumption, the currently accumulated fatigue value will be eliminated. 】
He briefly explained his new invention to Eri Kisaki.
Hibiki Eri's fingertips gently stroked the exquisite snack box, her eyes sparkling with interest: "This kind of snack that can instantly restore people's energy, if it is mass-produced, it will probably subvert the entire food industry."
Imagine that busy office workers, hard manual laborers, and high-intensity working professionals will all be crazy about it.
Hanyu Nan smiled and shook his head, "These are reserved for our family. Outsiders are not qualified to taste them. If Aunt Eri likes them, I will ask Xiaolan to send you fresh ones often in the future."
His words were a bit overbearing, but Kisaki Eri thought it was natural.
The value of this snack with various special effects far exceeds the scope of ordinary food. Even if it is taken out, it will inevitably become an auction item that countless wealthy politicians will compete for, triggering a fierce competition.
"...It's incredible." She subconsciously touched her temple. The nerves there that were aching slightly due to work pressure were completely relaxed at this moment. "The feeling of fatigue is completely gone."
Xiaolan shook her head proudly, "Right? Nan's inventions are the most amazing!"
Hanyu Kusunoki smiled and watched Kisaki Eri's reaction.
The sunlight shone on her through the floor-to-ceiling windows, outlining her perfect profile.
Even though she is nearly 40 years old, the Queen of Law still maintains her stunning beauty - neat bun, delicate facial features, elegant neck line, and the curves that are faintly visible under the purple uniform...
At this moment, her slightly relaxed posture adds a bit of the lazy charm unique to mature women.
"Aunt Eri, try this again." Hanyu Kusunoki took out a pink macaron from the snack box. "It can enhance short-term memory, which should be helpful in sorting out the details of the case."
Kisaki Eri took the macaron, and her fingertips accidentally brushed against Hanyu Kusunoki's fingers, and both of them were slightly startled.
She quickly withdrew her hand and pushed her glasses to cover up: "Thank you, I just happened to have a complicated merger and acquisition case on hand..."
The macarons melted in the mouth, and the delicate texture slid down the throat like silk. Kissinger closed her eyes and felt the effect.
When she opened her eyes again, they were sparkling with surprise: "It's amazing. The case file I read yesterday is right in front of me now. Every clause and every detail is so clear."
Xiaolan excitedly handed over another small piece of lemon cake: "Mom, try this! It can keep your skin moisturized all day long!"
Kisaki Eri tasted each dessert gracefully, and exclaimed in surprise after each one.
Hanyu Kusunoki leaned against the desk, admiring the rare childish side of this mature woman.
The way her eyes narrowed slightly as she tasted the snacks and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up when she discovered the new effects revealed a softness and loveliness that was completely different from her serious and capable appearance in the courtroom.
