Chapter 144 Each with their own thoughts
"Cough, cough..."
Li Long, who was driving in the front seat, almost choked. He coughed for a while before he recovered.
Although he didn't want to interrupt at this moment, he noticed through the rearview mirror that the two people behind him were staring at him, so Li Long had no choice but to ask.
"Boss, is Madam referring to Miss Chris?"
"Even you all knew?"
Eri's expression darkened further, and her voice became icy.
"Who exactly is that woman?"
"this……"
Li Long gave an awkward laugh and was about to answer when...
Lin Xiuyi, sitting in the back row, coughed lightly and quickly took over the conversation.
"Eri, here's what happened..."
He slowly recounted his story with Sharon.
"Sharon passed away from illness a year ago, leaving behind only her daughter Chris."
The truth, of course, couldn't be told to Eri Kisaki. It wasn't that Hideaki intentionally kept it from her, but rather that Sharon's faked death was related to the struggle between the FBI and the Black Organization.
Today, Vermouth abducting Eri Kisaki was already an accident, and Lin Xiuyi didn't want the female lawyer to get involved in the Black Organization's affairs.
"So, after her mother passed away, no one stopped her? So she came to Japan to find you, her godfather?"
Eri Kisaki said with a look of utter disdain.
"That woman, isn't she worried that her mother's spirit, after learning about your shameful affair, will become an evil ghost and come back to settle scores with her?"
"hehe……"
Lin Xiuyi chuckled twice, unsure how to respond.
Fortunately, Eri Kisaki continued speaking at this moment.
"I won't tell anyone about that woman, but not because of you!"
The female lawyer glared angrily at Lin Xiuyi.
"I did this for Xiaolan! You're never allowed to see that woman again!"
"Once what's going on between you two is exposed, what do you want other people to think of Xiaolan?"
"Don't worry, Eri, I know."
Lin Xiuyi nodded hurriedly, finally feeling relieved.
Anyway, let's deal with tonight first.
"I wouldn't have gone today if she hadn't threatened me with you."
As Lin Xiuyi explained, he took Fei Yingli's hand.
The female lawyer struggled several times, but he stubbornly refused to let go.
Eri Kisaki had no choice but to let him have his way.
"Madam, the boss was extremely worried after he found out about your accident. I've worked for him for over ten years, and this is the first time I've ever seen him so anxious."
Li Long, who was in the front row, quickly seized the opportunity to chime in.
"At the time, the kidnappers threatened the boss with you, demanding that he go in alone."
"We were all worried, but the boss didn't care about anything, and without thinking, he did exactly what the other party asked for..."
Upon hearing Li Long's words, Eri Kisaki's previously gloomy expression finally eased considerably.
She remembered the bet she'd made with Vermouth. The lawyer wasn't stupid; she knew Vermouth was only doing that to drive her away from Lin Xiuyi.
But the thought that the woman had confidently proposed the bet, only to have her pretense exposed by Lin Xiuyi the moment they met, finally made Eri feel much better.
Unlike more than a decade ago, when Eri Kisaki was young and impetuous, she was able to immediately break up with Hideaki Hayashi after discovering that there was something going on between Hideaki Hayashi and Yukiko.
But after more than a decade, the impulsive and reckless girl has transformed into a mature and composed legal queen.
Although being NTR'd tonight left Eri extremely upset, she could only swallow her anger.
Because she knew that if she fell out with Lin Xiuyi over this matter,
In the end, the one who will be triumphant will be the blonde woman who bullied her tonight!
Furthermore, due to a moment of impulsiveness back then, Lin Xiuyi left her for seventeen years, and Eri Kisaki certainly doesn't want to go through that again.
……
When the group returned to 2-chome, it was already dawn, and the sky was beginning to brighten.
On the streets, there were already elderly people exercising early in the morning, as well as commuters hurrying to work.
Inside the Lin family villa, the remaining three people had already gotten up and were having breakfast in the dining room on the first floor.
However, none of the three looked too good.
Xiaolan didn't sleep all night, keeping a close eye on the gate, waiting for her parents to come home.
Judy was preoccupied, wondering about Lin Nami's identity and what could have happened to keep Lin Xiuyi and the others away all night.
Lin Nami, also known as Yukiko, spent the whole night feeling depressed and annoyed.
She and Sharon were both friends and rivals in love. Last night, she was worried that Sharon would hurt Eri.
When the call finally went through, it turned out that Lin Xiuyi and Sharon had rekindled their old flame.
Thinking about how she had worried about him and Eri Kisaki for most of the night, Yukiko naturally felt more and more frustrated and angry.
Fortunately, despite her displeasure, Yukiko still remembered that she was now the cook for the Hayashi family.
As dawn broke, I got up and went to the kitchen to get busy.
Soon, Lan and Judy also got up.
Three women, one older and one younger, were sitting at the dining table, their eyes filled with dark circles, eating their breakfast without any appetite, when they saw Lin Xiuyi and her group walk in.
Seeing her parents return, Xiaolan sensed something was off, but she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly jumped off her chair and ran to her mother.
"Mom, where did you go last night?" Before Eri could answer,
To avoid revealing her words of comfort to Ran the night before, Yukiko quickly spoke up,
"Did you and your wife have a good date last night?"
"……fine,"
Eri had already promised Hideaki Lin in the car that she would keep what happened last night a secret.
She thought that Lin Nami's sudden interruption was something Lin Xiuyi had arranged beforehand, so she simply went along with what Lin Nami was saying.
"I think so too."
Yukiko glanced at Hayashi Shuichi, then suddenly asked with a smile,
"Judging from the smile on the master's face, he must have had a very enjoyable time last night?"
joy?
Judy gave Lin Xiuyi a strange look. In her opinion, the boss looked tired and had bloodshot eyes. He looked exhausted and there was no sign of him being happy or cheerful.
Why does Lin Nami's way of speaking suddenly sound so sarcastic?
Fortunately, apart from Jodie, the others didn't pay much attention to what Yukiko said.
Xiaolan assumed her parents were out having fun because they weren't coming home at night, so it's understandable that Lin Namei asked that question.
Eri Kisaki and her daughter shared similar thoughts.
Only Hayashi Hideichi understood the hidden meaning in Yukiko's words.
Remembering that she called me last night while I was unlocking Vermouth's door with my key, I realized she must have heard a lot of noise, and I immediately felt a little guilty.
"good,"
Lin Xiuyi gave a casual reply and quickly sat down at the table to change the subject.
"By the way, Judy, you can cover my shift at school today. I'm staying home to rest."
"……good."
Judy nodded, already planning how to get information out of Li Long and the others to find out what Lin Xiuyi had taken them to do last night.
