My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

Upon hearing Sonoko Suzuki's suggestion, Kaoru Takayanagi shook her head immediately.

"I will never have a boyfriend, because no one in this world can compare to my older brother."

Sonoko Suzuki completely agreed with what Kaoru Takayanagi said.

But if Kaoru Takayanagi doesn't find a boyfriend, could it be that she's planning to compete with me for Ichiro Takayanagi?

"Xiao Xun, you absolutely mustn't do anything wrong..."

Sonoko Suzuki wanted to say something more, but then a mature woman's voice came from upstairs.

"Xiao Xun, you can let your older brother and guests come upstairs now."

There were people upstairs; it must be Kaoru Takayanagi's mother, whom I hadn't seen earlier.

Luckily, she was upstairs cooking dinner; otherwise, if she had caught me in the act, I would have been mortified.

"Mom, we'll be right up."

Kaoru Takayanagi stopped licking her fingers and then asked Ichiro Takayanagi:

"Big brother, should I go and call Sister Xiaolan over? It'll be faster if she and Mom cook dinner together."

"No need. Ran will definitely take care of Detective Mouri first before coming here. There's no need to put pressure on Ran."

"Brother Gao Liu, can you tell me what exactly happened between you and Xiao Lan?"

A few days ago, Sonoko Suzuki knew that Ran Mouri was acting strangely, but no matter how she asked, Ran Mouri wouldn't give her an answer.

It now seems that Ran Mouri's family problems are somewhat related to Ichiro Takayanagi, so she directly asked him about it.

If she had just arrived here, she and Takayanagi Ichiro would have only just met, and she certainly wouldn't have been in a position to ask these questions.

However, now that she has confessed her feelings and even kissed Takayanagi Ichiro in front of Takayanagi Kaoru, it is clear that Suzuki Sonoko is Takayanagi Ichiro's girlfriend.

So it's perfectly acceptable for her to ask questions about her best friend.

"This is Xiaolan's family matter, we can't say too much, you should understand."

Takayanagi Ichiro pulled Suzuki Sonoko up, preparing to go upstairs to talk about Mouri Ran.

Kaoru Takayanagi stayed behind and glanced at the spot where Sonoko Suzuki was, noticing a watermark there.

It seems that Sonoko Suzuki was already aware of what was going on. If I hadn't come down and interrupted them, they might have taken things to the next level.

However, Kaoru Takayanagi did not observe further, as it might arouse Sonoko Suzuki's suspicion.

Kaoru Takayanagi immediately followed and then took Ichiro Takayanagi's free hand.

"Xiao Lan, you can go to President Gao Liu's house. You don't need to worry about me anymore."

Kogoro Mouri drank a lot of alcohol yesterday and hasn't fully woken up yet this morning.

So Ran first took her best friend to Ichiro Takayanagi's place, and then went home to talk to her father about what happened yesterday.

I was completely drunk when I went there to discuss things yesterday.

Now that he has listened to his daughter's story in a more sober state, Kogoro Mouri knows that the best outcome is for his daughter to go to Ichiro Takayanagi's side.

"Dad, when Brother Gao Liu brought you home yesterday, did you call out another woman's name?"

Instead of answering her father's question, Ran Mouri asked him this question.

"It seems like there is such a thing."

After getting drunk, Bi dreamt of his favorite idol reenacting himself, and it's quite possible that Yang Zi would take the opportunity to belittle Eri Kisaki.

I vaguely heard something yesterday, like the bedside table creaking.

It must be Eri Kisaki throwing a tantrum. Well, I can't blame myself. Yoko Okino just smells better.

Chapter 109: Eat or be "suffocated" by Mom

In Kogoro Mouri's heart, there was absolutely no possibility left between him and Eri Kisaki.

That's why she's interested in other idols, and even praises them while belittling Eri Kisaki when she's drunk.

However, Ran Mouri always believed that she could still get her parents back together.

“Dad, if you continue like this, there’s no chance for you and Mom.”

Ran Mouri hates that her father is so useless. If he were any better, and if it weren't for this ten million yen loan incident, Ran Mouri would definitely arrange for her parents to get back together.

"Xiaolan, this is between your mother and me."

Your most important thing right now is to focus on your studies and not worry about things like this.

"Dad, do you think I can still study well now?"

Kogoro Mouri's words made Ran Mouri even more disappointed.

After hearing his daughter's words, Kogoro Mouri also fell silent.

If he hadn't taken out a loan of ten million to try and win the horse racing bet, Ran Mouri wouldn't have become someone else's personal tutor. He ruined his own daughter's life.

Unfortunately, he was completely unable to repay this debt and could only repay it by having his daughter marry into the family, and he had three years to do so.

"Dad, after Shinichi and I come back from the amusement park, I'll go stay at Brother Takayanagi's place."

Although her father urged her to move in with Ichiro Takayanagi, Ran Mouri still had her own ideas.

"What? You're going out with that brat Shinichi Kudo?"

Kogoro Mouri immediately asked his daughter in surprise, as he had never known this information before.

"Ran, I know exactly why Shinichi Kudo invited you out for fun. Don't go out with him."

Although there is no possibility of Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki getting back together, they still have a tacit understanding on one thing: to prevent Ran Mouri and Shinichi Kudo from developing their relationship further.

In their opinion, Shinichi Kudo is definitely not a good match for Ran Mouri!

"Dad, it's no use trying to stop me, because Mom has already agreed to it."

Ran's response surprised Kogoro even more. Could it be that Eri had undergone a major change?

After thinking for a moment, Kogoro Mouri shook his head and said to Eri Kisaki, "I will never let my daughter be in danger."

"Your mother must have some expectations of you, right?"

"On that day, Brother Gao Liu and Xiao Xun will go out for fun with me."

I see. Eri Kisaki actually asked Ichiro Takayanagi for a favor. Ichiro Takayanagi will definitely do as Eri Kisaki asks.

"Okay, now that your mother has made the arrangements, you can go out and have some fun."

You don't need to cook for me anymore; I can take care of myself.

"Dad, I'll go now."

Just as Eri Kisaki said yesterday, Kogoro Mouri has been taken care of by Ran Mouri for ten years.

If he continues to enjoy himself like this, he really is a good-for-nothing.

Watching his daughter leave his family's office, Kogoro Mouri let out a heavy sigh.

I know very well how much reasoning ability I have. If only I had the reasoning ability of Shinichi Kudo, I could definitely solve the ten million loan problem in a short time.

It's absolutely impossible to get Shinichi Kudo to come to the agency and help make money.

That guy enjoys the spotlight and the media hype he gets, things he doesn't get in his own firm.

Moreover, Shinichi Kudo always mocked him after meeting him, saying that he was just a bumbling detective.

Even if he wanted to come, Kogoro Mouri believed that he and Shinichi Kudo would definitely not get along.

I wish I could have a detective team like Sherlock Holmes.

If you can provide yourself with some clues and hints, then you too can become a famous detective.

Thinking about these things is completely useless. I might as well have another drink and maybe I can meet Ms. Yoko Okino again in my dreams.

As for Eri Kisaki, she's almost forty years old, how can she compare to a popular idol like Yoko Okino?

It's just that Kogoro Mouri was drunk yesterday and didn't see the changes in Eri Kisaki, otherwise he would definitely have been swayed.

Gui's fried food shop.

"Mom, why did you call us over?"

Because the fried food shop is being renovated, there aren't many customers.

There was no need for the sisters Katsura Kotonoha and Katsura Shin to come and help, so they stayed at home after school.

However, Katsura Manami summoned the two sisters over with just one phone call and even displayed fried food products in front of them.

"Mom, I want to be a little lady."

"Eating too much of these things will turn me into a chubby girl, I don't want to eat them."

Gui Xin simply thought their mother wanted them to come and eat hot pot, so she directly stated her attitude, showing that even children love beauty.

"Mom, I don't want to eat too much fried food either."

Katsura Kotonoha is currently a high school girl, the most youthful and beautiful time of her life, so of course she wants to maintain her figure.

It wasn't to show off to other boys in school, but for myself.

“I did come here so you could try our new products. If even your own family can’t eat or like a store’s products, then there’s no point in going to the market.”

Since taking over the general store, Katsura Manami has always wanted to make the fried food shop a success.

What's more, I got the secret marinade from Takayanagi Ichiro today, and after testing it, I found that the effect was amazing.

Of course, this outcome couldn't be decided by one person alone, so he called his two daughters over.

Unexpectedly, her two daughters refused to cooperate because of their figures.

"Mom, my sister and I also like watching TV and using our phones, but we're not blind."

The fried food you put in front of us is exactly the same as before.
