Traveled through time and was picked up by a rich jk

Chapter 136 Negotiation
what?
Judging from what Rika's mother said, the first heir to the Shōna family is still running away from home?
Chen Ling counted with his fingers, it couldn't be more than half a month?

He has been quite busy during this period. After the last call, he has not contacted his brother Sang again, thinking that he will be found soon, and then be placed in solitary confinement and his communication equipment will be confiscated.

Did this kid suddenly become enlightened? So brave.

If it's bad, then isn't Chen Ling the mastermind behind it?
You can't say that, your brain grows on you.

If this kid hasn't come home for more than half a month, will the money he brought with him when he went out be enough?

Chen Ling took a look at his wallet that day. There should be ten or twenty thousand in it.

Having said that, let’s first determine the specific current location of Brother Naoki.

As for the current 'old aunt', of course it is kept a secret.

She said she was an old aunt, but in fact she just had grievances.

"I don't know what you are talking about."

Such a low profile made Chen Ling speechless for a moment.

If we don't talk, there might really be such a link in this matter.

"If I didn't care, I wouldn't try to suppress your career."

"Whether I know or not, I have no obligation to answer you, right?"

Judging from the current attitude, Rika and Naoki's mother may not be as unkind in personal relationships as previously imagined.

Are you only repenting now?

Now, he fully realized it.

"Is it Naoki Naoki, the first heir, who is worried instead of Rika?"

"Naoki is still young. Even if we give him a sufficiently advanced education, from a mental point of view, he is still just a child. After running away from home, his first thought is most likely that he can rely on contact. Human, then the probability that Mr. Nanye knows about this is at least 90%."

There was silence for a short while.

So what if I know?
This is a consequence of your own doing.

It was difficult for Chen Ling to talk to such a family calmly. Although he had known some of their actions and ideas before, even if he thought they were too much, Chen Ling had never really seen them, so he didn't have much real experience.

"I am a mother, so I will listen carefully to Mr. Minano's complaints."

A very reasonable guess.

To take a step back, everyone will have situations where they cannot help themselves.

"This is a measure taken by our family. Although it is accidental, such behavior itself will bring unknown risks to Lixiang. I deeply apologize."

This is true. Do you believe me? Or is it because of the family's assessment of Rika that she is no longer in the family, so there is no need to control her?
Why is there no 'mother' perspective when it comes to Rika?
"What about your plans for her after graduating from high school? Does it still count?"

Chen Ling could never understand it.

“Does that mean the company’s board of directors still needs to get together, hold a meeting, and hold a shareholder vote?”

"Sorry, I'm a bit emotional."

"Okay. Let's not talk about this. If you really want to know what's going on with Naoki, and if you happen to be free, I suggest chatting in person. After all, I don't know if there are other factors around you that may have an impact. "

Chen Ling could imagine the helplessness the other party felt when she said this. Even if she was a little facially paralyzed like Rika, it would be enough to relieve her anger.

"Objectively speaking, that's true, Mr. Minano."

"I can understand that objectively speaking, the family does not care about Rika's separation and Naoki's loss of contact?"

Chen Ling started to ridicule without hesitation. Of course, he knew that doing so was not polite in Neon. In fact, his mother had never said anything bad to him, but he just wanted to do something good for himself. Girlfriend vents her anger.

"Mr. Nanno, I didn't know about this until after it happened."

"For example, some time ago, when Rika announced her temporary retirement, let her reveal her true identity directly to the public?"

"."

It seems like the complaints are real.

There was clear malice, not to mention repaying him, but at least I had to make myself feel a little more comfortable.

Talk to the people in my family. This is also an idea that came to his mind recently.

"I understand how you feel and I won't care."

Naoki's mother was silent for a while.

He sighed.

"But as a mother, I am very worried about this child's current life situation. Moreover, he has been absent from school for a long time and has homework."

"I personally don't know very well."

this.
Why are they all quite unexpected?

"So, aunt, are you calling as Naoki and Rika's mother, or as the wife of a childish master?"

rika Sorry, it's still hard for me to maintain a stable mood.

"My daughter is under your care. She is not under the supervision of my family for the time being, and she has reached the legal age of majority and does not require my concern."

Chen Ling pursed his lips.

Of course, it is not ruled out that she just wants to get close to him, but is actually a very cold mother, so she must be fully prepared.

"I understand, if you are free today, you can decide on the address now and send it as a text message to my number and I will come over alone, in my personal capacity."

The straightforward temperament is exactly the same as Rika's.

After all, she was also Lixiang's biological mother. Chen Ling felt that it was necessary to find out all the details of this matter.

Moreover, the other party asked him to decide the location, and said that in his personal capacity, he should show goodwill to Chen Ling.

"Okay, I'll confirm the location first and look forward to meeting you."

"Thank you for your reply, Mr. Nanno. If it is convenient, please hang up the phone."

"Wait a minute, can I ask a question?"

There is a question that concerns me.

"Please say."

"Where did you get my mobile phone number?"

Shouldn't this kind of stuff be considered private information? If it is through illegal means
"Lixiang told me."

"Eh?"

An unexpected unfolding.

Probably what Rika meant was to ask him to handle this matter.

The eldest lady thought of going together with him. After all, she needed to contact the family again.

"I see."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ling dialed Zhi Shu's little brother's personal phone number.

It seems that when he first contacted Chen Ling, he used his own mobile phone, which was really cautious.

"Naoki, haven't you gone home yet?"

"Good afternoon, brother! Yes, maybe my contact loss measures are relatively complete."

Remember, you didn't say that before, didn't you say that you only expected to stay out for a few days to express your dissatisfaction?

It's been almost twenty days now.

"Um, do you always wear a mask and a hat when you go out, and your identity has never been exposed?"

"Ah."

What a great job you did.

"What, you figured it out and want to pursue your own love and freedom?"

Naoki smiled bitterly.

"I would like to try my best if I can, but I still have no expectations for the future."

This is the path your sister took in the past.

"But at least you're working hard and trying."

"If I don't go to school and leave my family, what else can I do?"

The troubles of a young man.

"You can be like your sister and do what you like. Are you worried that you can't find a way out? Become an artist. Your looks are enough."

"Brother, I can't leave simply like my sister. For me, I have more responsibilities to bear. I accepted the upbringing of my family. There are things I must do, but once I have tasted it, I will never After experiencing sweetness, people’s hearts will become more greedy.”

"Ah ah ah, I understand what you mean. Don't you just want to continue to stay in my family and at the same time be able to have a normal relationship?"

Men and women have different pursuits, and the same goes for Rika and Naoki, the siblings.

Rika Watana is willing to give up everything, even her life, for her own freedom.

But Naoki can't. No one is right or wrong.

"Um"

"Cheer up! You still want to drive a warship after being so quiet?"

Chen Ling's suddenly raised voice startled his younger brother Sang.

"Eh???"

Sorry, I'm sick.

"Then why don't you try to negotiate with me?"

"I think there is a high probability that once you go back, you won't be able to come back."

"It doesn't matter. Now there is an opportunity right in front of you, which allows you to have a good talk with your family before returning to your home."

Then, Chen Ling told his brother everything about his mother-in-law calling him just now and asking about Zhi Shu's whereabouts.

"I will make an appointment with your mother to meet at a place later. Can you come over and chat with her? I think you won't be taken away."

She definitely wouldn't bring bodyguards when she came alone.

"Is that so? Shall I come over and meet my brother first?"

"If you don't have enough time, just go to the designated location. I will send you the address later."

"Okay, I'm really sorry to bother you, brother."

"It's okay. We are all a family, so we should help. But having said that, have you and the senior sister made any progress?"

This sentence seemed to silence Naoki Naoki.

"Yes or not? Can you give me accurate information?"

If someone refuses and still licks it, wouldn’t it be disrespectful?

"Maybe, but I still haven't been able to confess."

"So where are you progressing?"

"I didn't sleep on the sofa a week ago."

Oh?
Are you kidding?

"Go to the bedroom to lay the floor?"

"I slept with her."

“What the hell? (Chinese)”

Did everything your sister said fall on deaf ears?
A man and a woman are alone in the same room, and they are not even lovers yet, so they fall asleep on the bed first?

"The senior sister took the initiative?"

"Well, I caught a cold because I slept on the sofa before."

Oh ho, there's nothing you can do about it, your own body is the most honest.

The other party's thoughts are almost the same.

As Chen Ling thought about it, he actually felt a little jealous because he and Rika had only slept together once before.
That time some time ago was not considered sleeping, she just lay under the quilt for a while.

"So, what else happened?"

"Without my brother, can we stop talking about this topic? I always feel a little ashamed."

"Oh, right? You have to know, brother, I'm asking about this for your own good."

"Yeah, I know, brother-sama."

You smiled, why do you feel like you are deceiving a child just to satisfy your own curiosity?
For convenience, Chen Ling chose an ordinary cafe in Ikebukuro.

After Brother Zhi Shu was in place, Chen Ling sent the location to his mother-in-law, saying that he would arrive at the location within half an hour.

"Let me tell you, Naoki, are you really not going to attract Uncle JC's attention when you dress like this?"

Chen Ling looked up and down Naoki Naoki's current outfit at the door of the cafe.

A white mask, sunglasses, and a white peaked cap basically covered his face.

Although his movements themselves are not sneaky, after adding these buffs, everyone looks like a suspicious person.

"Not so far, Onii-sama."

After all, his behavior is still upright.

Chen Ling glanced at the time.

"You're going to meet your mother later, are you nervous?"

Little brother Naoki nodded honestly.

"Is that senior sister at school?"

"Ah."

"Okay, let's have dinner nearby in the afternoon. I have to pick up your sister later."

"Okay, can you let me pack dinner for her?"

Chen Ling showed a happy smile.

"It's fine, no problem."

He asked Naoki to wait near the cafe and always observe the people coming and going at the door.

Please help me first confirm whether my mother-in-law is here alone as promised.

If there is a breach of contract, the two of them will immediately make money.

Be aware of precautions.

About twenty minutes later, Chen Ling received a message from his mother-in-law.

[Mr. Minano, I have arrived at the door. 】

At the same time, Naoki Naoki also sent a message.

[Brother, I saw my mother at the door, alone. 】

After confirming that there was no problem for the time being, Chen Ling told his mother-in-law the specific private room.

Then comes the waiting time.

I'm still a little nervous, after all, I'm still in a hostile state with the Shōna family.

Mainly, he was rude to his mother-in-law.

But in the final analysis, he was the one who brought up the meeting.

After a minute or two, the waiter knocked on the room door.

"Please come in."

She was a familiar, beautiful woman in casual clothes.

I haven’t seen her for a long time, but I still feel that Rika’s beauty is very similar to her mother’s.

"Mr. Nanno, long-awaited greetings."

Chen Lingpi smiled but didn't smile.

"Hello, my mother, please sit down first."

You can't just call "mother-in-law sama" directly, that would be embarrassing.

Perhaps because of the different reasons, the lady's aura was more easy-going this time.

"Before we start talking, maybe..."

The mother-in-law nodded cooperatively. She took out her bag and took out everything inside to make sure that nothing had been tampered with.

The mobile phone is also turned off.

"Sorry, you are obviously Rika's mother, but you conducted the meeting in this way."

"It doesn't matter, everything is a choice between both parties."

She shook her head, her black hair as smooth as the eldest lady in the family.

"Then wait a moment."

Chen Ling was operating his cell phone, and suddenly there were three more knocks on the door.

The fully armed Naoki Watana walked in and sat on the third sofa chair.

He took off his hat, sunglasses, and mask.

"Mother."
