My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

Eri Kisaki certainly knew what had happened at the detective agency, but she had to pretend she didn't.

"Mom, nothing happened, you don't need to worry about us."

"Xiao Lan, if you tell me something about what's happened to you recently, instead of immediately denying it, I'll definitely believe what you say."

But now I know you must be facing difficulties, so tell me what happened.

I'm more than willing to help you, after all, I'm your mother.

Eri Kisaki knows her daughter very well, so she managed to completely break Ran Mouri's defenses with a few words, and Ran's voice on the phone sounded a little sad.

"Mom, it was Dad who did something wrong, which caused our firm to be burdened with huge debts."

Hearing her daughter's aggrieved tone, Eri Kisaki also felt a little sad.

If she weren't at Takayanagi Ichiro's office right now, and in his arms, she probably would have gone over and comforted her daughter.

But if I rush out now, Ran Mouri might see me.

Moreover, the smell on my body makes it inappropriate to meet my daughter.

"Xiaolan, don't worry, Mom will always be your support. Tell me what happened."

When Eri Kisaki was questioning her daughter, Mori, she took Ichiro Takayanagi's hand and placed it on her body, as if this could give her some strength.

Takayanagi Ichiro, of course, didn't stand on ceremony and hugged Eri Kisaki even tighter with both hands.

However, no further action was taken, because making any noise would likely be heard by Ran Mouri.

After hearing Eri's question, Ran Mouri did not hide anything.

She repeated what she had said before to her mother.

This includes Ichiro Takayanagi's later proposal to her, and his suggestion to have Eri Kisaki come over tomorrow to sign the new contract.

What is that man doing?

In the past, Eri Kisaki would address Ran as "your father," but now she directly calls that man "that man," clearly showing her deep disappointment in Kogoro Mouri.

In the past, Ran Mouri would have corrected her mother Eri Kisaki's way of addressing her, but now she doesn't have the confidence to do so.

"Dad is resting."

Ran Mouri phrased it tactfully, but Eri Kisaki knew that Kogoro Mouri was definitely drunk.

He's such a spineless man; after causing trouble, he makes his daughter deal with it.

He, like a coward, used alcohol to numb himself.

"Xiao Lan, why don't you stay at my place for a while today, and tomorrow I'll go with you to Takayanagi Ichiro's credit union."

Since he calls me "senior," maybe I can continue negotiating with him.

Eri Kisaki no longer wants her daughter to live with Kogoro Mouri, because that would be taking care of a useless person and wouldn't bring any benefits.

Furthermore, Eri Kisaki proactively agreed to come and see the new contract with Ran Mouri tomorrow, without any hesitation.

Chapter 68 Are we not as good as Attorney Fei alone?

The reason Ran Mouri hesitated here was because she didn't want her mother to know what was happening at the agency.

But now that Eri Kisaki has personally called and exposed Ran Mouri's lie, it's clear that Ran Mouri won't hide anything from her mother.

The fact that Ichiro Takayanagi treats Eri Kisaki as an upperclassman shows that he must know something about her.

"Mom, I'm a little worried..."

"It's okay. Mom is a lawyer, which will have a certain deterrent effect on those who do lending business."

I'll pick you up from school tomorrow, and then we'll go to his office together.

After Eri finished speaking, she hung up the phone with her daughter. She knew what Ran Mouri was worried about, but there was no need to worry.

"Ichiro, Ran probably took what you said to her to heart."

"What?"

Now that Eri Kisaki has finished her call with her daughter, Ichiro Takayanagi's hands will no longer be idle.

Eri Kisaki had no objection to this; in fact, she quite enjoyed the contact.

"It's like what you said before: you're not interested in high school girls, but rather in mature women."

Xiaolan is probably worried that you have some ulterior motives towards me, which is why she doesn't want me to come and negotiate with you.

After Eri finished speaking, she reached out and grabbed Takayanagi Ichiro's An Lushan-like claws, stopping him from rampaging through the mountains.

"That only proves that you are a mature beauty, and your daughter thinks so too."

Eri Kisaki was already a beauty, and after being nourished by Ichiro Takayanagi, her energy and spirit were much better than before.

If others knew that Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki were a married couple, they would definitely say that a beautiful flower has been stuck in cow dung.

After hearing what Ichiro Takayanagi said, Eri Kisaki blushed and then completely pulled Ichiro Takayanagi's hand away.

"Ichiro, you still haven't answered my question from before."

Has Kaoru and her mother already returned to Tokyo with you, and are they at this agency?

I don't believe what you just said. What do you mean you don't like high school girls? And what about Kaoru?

"Senior, how did you know?"

At this point, Takayanagi Ichiro did not reveal that she knew he was spying on her at the Takayanagi house.

"On the morning I was leaving, I saw Xiao Xun's mother get up and stew chicken soup."

She's full of energy and doesn't need chicken soup to nourish her; it's someone else who needs it.

"Xiao Xun was just an accident, senior, you are the one I like."

Ichiro Takayanagi had no intention of explaining himself. Instead, he rested his chin on Eri Kisaki's shoulder and breathed into her ear.

Eri's face turned even redder. She knew that if things continued like this, a major battle was inevitable.

So she left Takayanagi Ichiro's embrace directly. Although she felt a little disappointed, she knew that this was the right choice.

"Ichiro, your upstairs door shouldn't be locked, right? I need to go up and wash up."

After saying that, she went upstairs without waiting for Takayanagi Ichiro's response.

As soon as I opened the door, I encountered two people standing outside.

"Attorney Fei, it's been a long time."

Takayanagi Mika showed no embarrassment whatsoever; on the contrary, she greeted Kisaki Eri with practiced ease.

Kaoru Takayanagi didn't greet Eri Kisaki. The way she looked at Eri Kisaki was very wary, as if Eri Kisaki had taken something that belonged to her.

"Ms. Mihua, could you tell me how to get to the restroom on the second floor?"

Since everyone here is a mature woman, there's no need to make a big fuss over these things. So, Eri calmly asked how to get to the restroom upstairs.

Takayanagi Mika and Takayanagi Kaoru spent a considerable amount of time tidying up upstairs, gaining a good understanding of the layout.

"Attorney Fei, let me take you there."

Mitsuka Takayanagi took Eri Kisaki to the restroom, while Kaoru Takayanagi trotted downstairs to find Ichiro Takayanagi.

Ichiro Takayanagi remained motionless in his office, still savoring his battle with Eri Kisaki.

Eri Kisaki is already so exciting, if Ran Mouri could join in too, wouldn't that be incredibly awesome?

"Brother, you're practically drooling. Do you really think that lawyer Fei can compare to the two of us?"

When Kaoru Takayanagi arrived at the office and saw Ichiro Takayanagi in this state, she immediately retorted with a hint of dissatisfaction.

Eri Kisaki alone is no match for the couple Mitsuka Takayanagi and Kaoru Takayanagi, but it's a different story when Ran Mouri is included.

Takayanagi Ichiro has already gotten his hands on the pair of Takayanagi Mitsuka and Takayanagi Kaoru, and can do with them anytime.

However, he has only managed to win over Eri Kisaki so far, and has only just begun to interact with Ran Mouri.

As the saying goes, what you can't have is always the best, so it's perfectly normal for Takayanagi Ichiro to have some expectations and dream about a bright future.

After wiping away non-existent drool, Ichiro Takayanagi beckoned to Kaoru Takayanagi, signaling her to come over.

"What happened? My little Xun is so jealous!"

Kaoru Takayanagi obediently walked over and sat directly in Ichiro Takayanagi's lap, but immediately frowned.

He sniffed at Takayanagi Ichiro a few times, then said with a hint of disgust:

"Brother, you smell like that woman, and the smell of that stuff."

"Since Xiaoxun dislikes it so much, then I'll go upstairs now and get thoroughly clean before I hug Xiaoxun."

Hearing what Ichiro Takayanagi said, Kaoru Takayanagi was a little happy because it meant that Ichiro Takayanagi was considerate of her feelings, but she immediately realized that something was wrong.

Now that Eri Kisaki has gone upstairs to wash up, if Ichiro Takayanagi joins in, will they have a bath together in the bathroom?

So when she sensed that Ichiro Takayanagi was about to get up, Kaoru Takayanagi immediately increased the force of her descent to prevent Ichiro from getting up.

"Brother, you can't go wash up now. If you want to wash up, I'll have to go with you tonight."

A couple can only take a bath together if either the person in the bath or their mother accompanies them. Eri has already taken advantage of them a lot; they shouldn't be allowed to gain any more substantial benefits.

"Okay, I won't go wash up now, I'll stay here with Xiaoxun."

After Takayanagi Ichiro finished speaking, he moved closer to Takayanagi Kaoru, and Takayanagi Kaoru took the initiative to meet his lips, and then their tongues intertwined nimbly.

Kaoru Takayanagi would give me anything Ichiro wanted, regardless of whether Ichiro had any other bad breath.

After a long time, Kaoru Takayanagi collapsed into Ichiro Takayanagi's arms, her eyes glazed over.

Moreover, her clothes were wrinkled, which clearly indicated that Takayanagi Ichiro's hands were not at rest while the two were kissing.

"Ichiro, you really should be arrested by the police for looking like this."
