My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

She had previously suspected that Ichiro Takayanagi had been spending too much time with her mother, but now she believed that Ichiro Takayanagi was helping their family, which is why Ran Mouri thanked him.

"There's absolutely no need to thank me. I just hope that you can take care of Xiao Xun today, Xiao Lan."

After all, she's a country bumpkin; we just need to make sure she doesn't make a big fool of herself.

Ichiro Takayanagi said that there was no need to worry about what happened last night, and he only hoped that Ran would take good care of Kaoru Takayanagi today.

"Big brother, I'm not a country bumpkin." Gao Liuxun was a little unwilling.

She's clearly a beautiful girl, so why does her older brother call her a country bumpkin?

If the older brother likes country bumpkins, there's no need to bring her to the big city.

She was already prepared for change, but she didn't want to be discouraged by the old man.

Ran Mouri and Kaoru Takayanagi's mother both laughed when they heard this, and Ran Mouri took Kaoru Takayanagi's hand again.

"President Takayanagi, don't worry. I will definitely treat Kaoru like my own sister and will not let her suffer any injustice."

"Xiao Lan, you can call me Brother Gao Liu from now on."

"Calling me 'President Takayanagi' just doesn't feel quite right." Takayanagi Ichiro spoke first, asking Ran Mouri to change how she addressed him, before saying to her:

"I was originally planning to drive you there, but to avoid unnecessary ostentation, you'll have to walk today."

Chapter 100: When there's something to do, the mother-in-law does it; when there's nothing to do...

"Okay, then I'll call you Brother Gao Liu from now on."

Ran Mouri also felt a little awkward calling him President Takayanagi directly, but she did not ask to change the way she was addressed.

Now that Ichiro Takayanagi has brought this up, she naturally goes along with it.

Furthermore, Ran Mouri approved of Ichiro Takayanagi's decision not to drive them to school, but to let her and Kaoru Takayanagi go to school alone.

Kaoru Takayanagi is a transfer student, which naturally makes her a source of curiosity for others.

If another luxury car from Ichiro Takayanagi were to be sent over, there might be some gossip surrounding Kaoru Takayanagi.

This will not help Kaoru Takayanagi integrate into the school; on the contrary, it will have a negative effect.

The fact that Ichiro Takayanagi was able to consider this shows that he genuinely cares for Kaoru Takayanagi, and she greatly admires this brother-sister relationship.

If she had an older brother as capable as Ichiro Takayanagi, her parents certainly wouldn't have separated, and her life would definitely be much more leisurely.

However, these are all superficial phenomena. If Ran Mouri knew the truth, she would definitely despise Ichiro Takayanagi.

"Big brother, Mom, I'm going to school."

Kaoru waved goodbye to Ichiro Takayanagi and her mother, then walked towards Teitan High School with Ran Mouri.

After her daughter and Mao Lilan were out of sight, Gao Liu Mihua whispered to Gao Liu Ichiro:

"Ichiro, thank you so much for everything you've done for Kaoru."

Ichiro Takayanagi is the ultimate victor; she can use Mitsuka Takayanagi and Kaoru Takayanagi as toys.

If it breaks, you can just throw it away or replace it with a new one.

However, Ichiro Takayanagi kept his promise and took them to the big city.

Furthermore, they sent Gao Liuxun to school and even hired a personal tutor for her.

The two of them could never repay everything that Takayanagi Ichiro did in his lifetime.

If they are destined to be together again in their next life, they will definitely try their best to stay by Takayanagi Ichiro's side.

"Auntie, it's not just Xiao Xun who's starting a new life; you also need to familiarize yourself with some things at the agency as soon as possible."

"From now on, you'll be doing things for me, serving as my chief secretary."

Takayanagi Ichiro smiled at Takayanagi Mitsuka's gratitude, but didn't take it to heart. Instead, he arranged for Takayanagi Mitsuka to adapt to her new identity as soon as possible.

Why was I chosen to be a secretary?

It is true that Takayanagi Mitsuka was born into a scholarly family, but she only had a little bit of experience in education.

That's why Takayanagi Kaoru was able to be educated so well, and even though she was studying in the countryside, her learning progress was not much different from that in big cities.

However, Takayanagi Mitsuka had never done the work of a secretary before, and she was worried that she would not do it well and would cause trouble for Takayanagi Ichiro.

"Actually, you don't need to do too much; you just need to take care of your appearance."

Gao Liu Mihua understood what he meant by that sentence. It meant that he was treating her like a decorative vase, which made Gao Liu Mihua a little resentful.

"Ichiro, just tell me what you need to do, and I'll get used to it gradually."

"Of course I believe in your abilities, and only you are capable of doing a good job as a secretary."

"Is there anything special about this?"

Takayanagi Mitsuka could tell that there was something else in Takayanagi Ichiro's words, but she couldn't understand it, so she asked directly.

"You know, there's a popular saying next door: 'When there's work to be done, the secretary does it; when there's nothing to do, the secretary does it.' You're perfect for that."

After hearing Takayanagi Ichiro's explanation, Takayanagi Mitsuka blushed immediately.

However, Takayanagi Mitsuka did not back down. She wanted Takayanagi Ichiro to have more desire for her, so that he could continue to treat the two of them well.

"Ichiro, you could actually replace the secretary with your mother-in-law," Takayanagi Mitsuka whispered, changing the word.

Takayanagi Ichiro was a little surprised, not expecting that Takayanagi Mitsuka would have such awareness.

He was also a little excited, and immediately pulled Gao Liu Mihua into the house.

“Mother-in-law, I’m going to show you the price of speaking.”

............

"Xiao Lan, where did you find this pretty little girl?"

Could this be related to your aunt coming to see you yesterday? Is this your sister?

Ran Mouri walked to school with Kaoru Takayanagi, where they met at the place they had arranged to meet their best friend.

"She is the younger sister who lives next door to my family's detective agency. My mother helped her enroll in our school yesterday."

Today I brought him to school to complete some other procedures; he will be attending school with us from now on.

Ran Mouri was already used to Sonoko Suzuki's direct questioning, so she simply explained Kaoru Takayanagi's identity.

Ran Mouri didn't tell anyone about most of the things that happened, because she didn't want her good friend to worry.

It turns out that it really is related to Eri Kisaki, which surprised Sonoko Suzuki a little.

"Hello, I am Ran's childhood friend and best friend since we were little, Sonoko Suzuki."

Sonoko Suzuki introduced herself first and showed goodwill towards Kaoru Takayanagi, since the child was brought by Ran Mouri.

"Hello, my name is Kaoru Takayanagi."

"Since you and Xiaolan are neighbors, you will be my good friend from now on. You can ask me for help if you encounter any problems."

Sonoko Suzuki generously treated Kaoru Takayanagi as her good friend, which left Kaoru Takayanagi a little dumbfounded. How could a classmate be so outgoing?

Noticing Kaoru Takayanagi's surprised expression, Ran Mouri immediately explained:

"Xiao Xun, Sonoko is a very good person. You'll understand her personality once you spend more time with her."

Ran Mouri will be responsible for Kaoru Takayanagi's life at school and tutoring her after school. Of course, she hopes that Kaoru Takayanagi will have more friends.

So why not start with your childhood sweetheart? That's a great choice.

"Yes, from now on, the two of us will stay by Ran's side at all times. We must not let that Shinichi Kudo have any designs on her."

Sonoko Suzuki acknowledged Kaoru Takayanagi, but asked him to stay by Ran Mouri's side with her.

Is Shinichi Kudo the boy that Eri Kisaki and Ran Mouri were talking about yesterday?

"Xiao Xun, let me tell you about that guy, Shinichi Kudo..."

"Suzuki-kun, it's not good to talk bad about people behind their backs."

Before Sonoko Suzuki could finish her rant, she was interrupted by a boy's voice.

"Xiao Lan, how come there's someone like this by your side?"

The person who came was indeed Shinichi Kudo.

After stopping Sonoko Suzuki from speaking ill of him, he immediately turned his gaze to Kaoru Takayanagi, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

"Shinichi..."

Ran Mouri wanted to greet Shinichi Kudo, but Kaoru Takayanagi pulled her behind her.

Chapter 101 The Exchange Between Two Mothers

Last night, Kaoru Takayanagi sided with Ran Mouri. She asked to go out with Ran and even brought Ichiro Takayanagi along.

At that time, Eri Kisaki also made a request to Ichiro Takayanagi, hoping that he would protect Ran Mouri when he went out to play.

It wasn't to protect Ran Mouri's safety, but to protect Ran Mouri's innocence and prevent her from having any close contact with Shinichi Kudo.

Now, on her way to school, she unexpectedly runs into Shinichi Kudo's mother, so Kaoru Takayanagi is determined to maintain a safe distance between Ran Mouri and Shinichi Kudo.

Kaoru Takayanagi's action stunned the other three, and Sonoko Suzuki immediately clapped her hands in approval.

"Xiao Xun, you are really amazing. You did what I've always wanted to do but never got around to. You should separate Xiao Lan and Kudo."

Sonoko Suzuki and Shinichi Kudo are both Ran Mouri's childhood friends, so the two have had some disagreements since they were young.

However, in order not to upset Ran Mouri, Sonoko Suzuki did not do anything outrageous.

Now, Kaoru Takayanagi, a girl who just appeared today, has actually widened the gap between Ran Mouri and Shinichi Kudo. She's really to Sonoko Suzuki's liking.

"You country bumpkin are so rude."

After a moment of surprise, Shinichi Kudo immediately exposed Kaoru Takayanagi's true identity, saying that she was from the countryside.

Ran Mouri could feel that Kaoru Takayanagi had gripped her hand a little harder, clearly indicating that Shinichi Kudo's attack had been effective.
