My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

If he doesn't get a good explanation, he'll definitely bite her hard to vent his anger.

Takayanagi Ichiro is currently humiliating her and is also trying to take advantage of her daughter. Does he really not treat her as a mother?

Ran Mouri blushed at this moment, and stared at Ichiro Takayanagi with fiery eyes.

It's true that Ran Mouri has never been in a relationship, but she has watched a lot of movies and TV dramas about romance, and her good friend Sonoko Suzuki often talks about things with her.

Therefore, Ran Mouri now understands that Ichiro Takayanagi wanted to use her body to repay the debts owed by Kogoro Mouri.

How is this possible?

Although she wanted to help her father pay off his debts in her own way, she definitely didn't do it by selling her body; she wanted to use other methods instead.

She had just changed her opinion of Takayanagi Ichiro, but now she sees him as having some rather bad qualities.

"Miss Mori, why are you glaring at me so fiercely?"

Didn't you say yourself that you wanted to talk about your father's debt?

I've given you a choice now, do you think I'm bullying you?

"Isn't that right? You said you wanted me to repay the debt, isn't that..."

Ran Mouri blushed and didn't finish her sentence, but Ichiro Takayanagi naturally understood what she was about to say.

At this moment, Ichiro Takayanagi actually chuckled softly.

"Miss Mori, I think you are too confident in your own charm."

You are indeed a very pretty high school girl, but you don't attract me much. I prefer girls who are more mature.

I do want to use your body to pay off my debts, but in a completely different way than you imagine.

Ran Mouri was completely baffled by Ichiro Takayanagi's words, which were a mix of praise and criticism.

"President Takayanagi, what exactly do you mean?"

Ran Mouri kept her eyes on Ichiro Takayanagi, determined to teach him a lesson if he didn't say anything nice.

The authority of female high school students is not to be challenged.

"I had spoken with Detective Mouri before. He wanted me to become your tutor, Miss Mouri, but I declined."

Instead of directly stating what he wanted Ran Mouri to do, Ichiro Takayanagi brought up his previous conversation with Kogoro Mouri.

After hearing this, Ran Mouri nodded.

Kogoro Mouri did have such thoughts, but more so because Ichiro Takayanagi lent him money, he simply wanted to invite Ichiro Takayanagi to his home for a meal.

However, there's no need to reveal the truth at this point; let's continue listening to what Ichiro Takayanagi has to say.

Meanwhile, Eri Kisaki, hiding under the table, harbored deep resentment towards Kogoro Mouri.

Ichiro Takayanagi, a recent graduate of the University of Tokyo, is indeed a suitable tutor for Ran Mouri, who is only a second-year high school student.

However, Kogoro Mouri doesn't understand that if a handsome guy like Ichiro Takayanagi spends a lot of time with Ran Mouri, Ran will definitely not be able to control herself, even if Shinichi Kudo is there.

Eri Kisaki has firsthand experience with this, which is why she can say such things.

Making Ichiro Takayanagi her tutor would be like inviting a wolf into a flock of sheep.

Fortunately, Ichiro Takayanagi ultimately declined Kogoro Mouri's invitation, indicating that he probably didn't have any romantic feelings for high school girls.

This made Eri Kisaki feel quite relaxed, and then the work that had been stopped resumed.

She wanted to make Takayanagi Ichiro feel good, hoping that his demands for his daughter to pay off the debt would be lessened.

Chapter 65 Fei Yingli and Mao Lilan** reassure Takayanagi Ichiro

Eri Kisaki's skills were only awakened after she had in-depth exchanges with Ichiro Takayanagi; Kogoro Mouri had never experienced them before.

Since Kogoro Mouri can't fulfill his responsibilities as a father, it would be better to let Ichiro Takayanagi enjoy them.

"I believe that you, Miss Mori, are capable of getting into a good university and do not need my family's guidance at all."

Therefore, I would like to ask you, Miss Mori, to become my tutor.

"what?"

Ran Mouri was stunned after hearing Ichiro Takayanagi's request.

You have to understand that Ichiro Takayanagi just graduated from the University of Tokyo, so why would he hire a tutor?

Could it be that they want me to live here so they can find an opportunity to attack me? Isn't that just what I thought before?

Eri, hiding under the table, had a guess, but she didn't make a sound. She just focused on working so that Ichiro Takayanagi could continue to enjoy himself.

"I didn't say it was for a private tutor. I have a younger sister back in my hometown, and I want to transfer her to your school."

She previously studied at a high school in the countryside, so she might not be able to keep up with the pace of a high school in a big city.

Therefore, I would like to ask Miss Mori to become my sister's tutor, to be responsible for her academic tutoring and to help her integrate into school life in the big city.

After hearing Takayanagi Ichiro's request, Mouri Ran breathed a sigh of relief.

The other party explained who they were hiring a tutor for, and that it was a girl.

"President Takayanagi, do you need my guidance...?"

"She has some things to do today and can't meet with Miss Mori, but we can meet and talk tomorrow."

As for the cost of your tutoring, Miss Mori, I can set it at 10,000 yen per day.

Whether it's a professional tutoring center or a highly skilled private tutor, this is a very high price.

If Miss Mori wants to complete your father's loan application on her own, she will need to study for three consecutive years.

But that would be too cruel to you. You can go back and ask your father to try.

"The rewards of becoming a famous detective will be substantial, allowing me to pay off the loan early."

What Ichiro Takayanagi meant was that the debt owed by Kogoro Mouri could be postponed by three years, which meant that Ran Mouri would have to come over every day to tutor Kaoru Takayanagi.

This made Eri Kisaki, who was hiding under the table, feel sorry for her daughter. It was such a loss to have an irresponsible and incompetent father.

However, Takayanagi Ichiro's suggestion satisfied her quite a bit, as it didn't require Ran Mouri to do anything too outrageous to pay off the debt, and it also put more pressure on Kogoro Mouri.

If Kogoro Mouri continues down this path of despair, those around him will definitely look down on him, making it easier for her to fight for custody of Ran Mouri.

Furthermore, Eri Kisaki is now certain that Takayanagi Mitsuka and Takayanagi Kaoru, this couple, definitely came to Tokyo with Takayanagi Ichiro, and might even be upstairs right now.

The price quoted by Ichiro Takayanagi for tutoring at 10,000 yen a day is indeed high.

However, it's understandable that it's for Kaoru Takayanagi, since she was secretly dating Ichiro Takayanagi when she was at the Takayanagi family's main residence.

If there isn't a suitable person to help Kaoru Takayanagi integrate into high school life in a big city, she is very likely to run into problems.

"Thank you, President Takayanagi. Please extend the term for another three years."

If my father truly cannot repay the debt, then I will study for three years to repay the ten million yen.

Ran Mouri expressed her gratitude to Ichiro Takayanagi, saying that granting him an extra three years was already an act of leniency, and there was no way he could make any further demands.

"Alright, since this is an unexpected situation, I will invite a senior lawyer to my firm tomorrow. You can come over then to sign the contract for extending repayments together."

After Ichiro Takayanagi made this suggestion, he could sense that Eri Kisaki was a little excited under the table.

"I wonder who the lawyer you hired is, President Takayanagi?"

Ran Mouri asked this question because her mother, Eri Kisaki, is a lawyer.

If it weren't for the need to avoid suspicion or to prevent her mother from worrying, Ran Mouri might have recommended her mother to Ichiro Takayanagi to become his personal lawyer.

Because her mother is a righteous person, if she knew that Takayanagi Ichiro was doing something unjust in the lending process, she would definitely stand up to stop him.

"She is my senior from the University of Tokyo, now known as the invincible queen, lawyer Eri Kisaki."

She's a very famous lawyer. Now that she's my partner lawyer, I think Miss Mori will feel more at ease with my lending business, especially since you warned me before not to do anything reckless.

After Takayanagi Ichiro finished speaking, he felt a strong suction force pulling at his equipment, as if trying to extract something from it.

"what?"

Ran Mouri was stunned; she never expected to hear her mother's name from Ichiro Takayanagi.

But this seems to be a fairly normal thing, after all, her mother is also a graduate of the University of Tokyo, and a very reputable lawyer.

Ran Mouri now blushes a little when she thinks about the things she said to Ichiro Takayanagi before.

She is now in debt and can no longer stand on moral high ground to criticize Takayanagi Ichiro.

However, if Ichiro Takayanagi really does something wrong during the process, Ran Mouri certainly won't stand idly by.

"Miss Mori, do you perhaps know my senior?" Takayanagi Ichiro asked, feigning confusion.

After hearing Ichiro Takayanagi's question, Ran Mouri remained silent for a moment before finally choosing to tell the truth.

"President Takayanagi, actually the lawyer you mentioned, Kiyoshi, is my mother."

"what?"

Now it was Takayanagi Ichiro's turn to be surprised, though he was just pretending.

"I never expected that Detective Mouri and my senior were actually husband and wife, but they don't seem like it at all."

"If my senior and Detective Mouri were together, there would be no way he would borrow money from me to go on a high-stakes gamble."

You almost said what Ichiro Takayanagi said: Kogoro Mouri, that bumbling detective, is completely unworthy of Eri Kisaki, that great lawyer.

Ran Mouri's face fell, because this was, after all, a family scandal.

"For some reason, my father and mother have been separated for a relatively long time."

Neither of them cared about the other's life, which is why this happened.

After all, Ichiro Takayanagi would be his future neighbor, and also his future creditor.

So it's quite normal to give him more information, just to put Takayanagi Ichiro at ease.
