There is indeed something wrong with my girlfriends’ besties.

Hiratsuka Shizuka also reacted quickly, gave Sayuri a wink, and the two of them went out together.

The three of them left Kaguya's room and sat down in the living room.

"Tell me, what's going on with Kaguya?"

"Miss, that's what she is like."

Hiratsuka Shizuka was not satisfied with Ai's answer. Yangno told her some of Kaguya's situation, and she also made up her mind about Kaguya's situation based on her own speculation.But except for Haruno, the family's impression of Kaguya comes from the image of the evil master Ai said at the banquet.Hiratsuka Shizu's words actually meant that she wanted to love herself to overturn her own words, so as to prove to Sayuri that Kaguya is an easy person to get along with, so that there would be no gap between the two of them.

However, love's answer is obviously to preserve this image, and even say that as the speculations in the brain become more and more real, it may even deviate.This doesn't fit with her speculation about Kaguya.If she treats the maid badly, how good can her character be?If she was nice to the maid, why didn't Ai speak for her?It’s understandable that I bought a character design before. After all, it was a mission.Now that we are getting engaged and even have to change our last name, we can’t just continue our mission. Is there anything else we can’t hide?

Ai's idea is very simple. If her relationship with Kaguya is exposed, then it is easy to deduce that she is Kaguya's weakness, which will put her at a disadvantage during a confrontation.Although it is possible that Yangno has been exposed, judging from the current situation, not yet.Therefore, she must choose to remain silent and let Kaguya's plan gradually take effect, so that she can live up to Kaguya's hard work.

As for why they didn't explain and let them sympathize with Kaguya and understand Kaguya, from Ai's point of view, this would definitely make Kaguya feel unsafe and even humiliating.Kaguya is such a person who values ​​interests and despises feelings, and she can't make changes now.Then love should take care of Kaguya's character and emotions.

Let Kaguya settle down first, and then slowly and subtly cultivate Kaguya's feelings and let her believe that human nature is good.When the ice and snow melted and she recovered, everyone would naturally think that they had warmed Kaguya, and this would be a happy ending for everyone.Rather than letting others reach the end now, what should Kaguya do?

Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't understand the idea of ​​love. She had no such experience and had never seen these true feelings.She only felt that either Kaguya was indeed an evil master, or Ai was an exquisite egoist and an evil servant.

"How much of what you said at the banquet is true and how false? Let me make it clear first that if you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it. I will assume that you are not lying. If you lie, you will be annoying!"

Hiratsuka Shizu's words are very serious, because in this family, there are very few conflicts. Everyone is very kind. Of course, it may be that all the family members are soft sheep, not hungry wolves, so there are no conflicts. Basically, it can be solved by sitting together, drinking a cup of tea, and chatting.

As for saying that, if she really said that and offended Ai, then Hiratsuka Shizuka would really not leave. She would drag Kaguya and Qian Ritsu over to explain clearly that Kaguya should teach the maid a lesson. Qian Ritsu never wanted to see someone in the house. What kind of contradiction? He didn't want to see Kaguya and Ai in the first place.As for the life and death of love, whether to stay or go, it has nothing to do with her.She, Shizuka Hiratsuka, only wants one fact, that is, Sayuri cannot be bullied, even if she is not known secretly!

"Kaguya didn't abuse me, it's just that she has always been like this, cold!"

Ai hesitated for a moment, organized his words, and denied the most annoying part of the lie he had spun about Kaguya. This could be regarded as eliminating some cognitive errors.

Shizuka Hiratsuka breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Sayuri.The former is because what he said meets her expectations, and the latter is just worried about getting along with Kaguya and being scolded by her in the future.Because Sayuri's position in the family is that of a housekeeper, nanny, and maid. In short, it is a very low status. This is Sayuri's understanding of herself.Although other people often come over to help with housework.But out of inferiority in her heart, Sayuri placed herself in a very low position.

Now Kaguya, as a eldest lady, brought a maid, changed her last name, and entered this house. Most of the people she knew left, leaving only Fumino, who was not very responsible. Can Sayuri not panic?Hiratsuka Shizuka said that he would protect her, that he could divorce her even after getting married, and that he could tear up the contract after signing it. This kind of verbal promise was simply the same as being there or not.Sayuri can only hope that Kaguya won't be too bad, such as abuse.Now that love has reassured her, she still can't let her guard down.

Chapter 236 Yang Mou

"Very good. Everyone knows the half-truths and half-false things about what happened before, and they all regard it as your mission, and they don't say anything bad about you. It's not easy for everyone, so just be considerate. From now on, when we come to this house, we are all one family. Please help each other as much as possible. I feel that you two are not people with bad personalities. On the contrary, you have your own difficulties just like us. It doesn’t matter if it’s not convenient to talk about it, and it’s embarrassing to say it. Everyone knows OK. Let’s drink tea instead of wine. Cheers?”

When Hiratsuka Shizu said this, she was already standing in the position of the main palace. Hiratsuka Shizu didn't want to fight for this position, but now for Sayuri, it is best to speak from this position.

"Cheers to a better future."

Ai heard what Hiratsuka Shizuka said and believed it. She had no intention of causing trouble and showed a warm smile. She happily raised her cup and touched Hiratsuka Shizu.After the crisp sound of clinking glasses, neither of them had any intention of separating. It turned out that Sayuri was lowering her head aside, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Sayuri, be happy! You are dressed so beautifully today, even more beautiful than usual. When I leave in a few days, you will be the only one occupying Qianlu's bed in this house. You will be in love for a long time, and you will be more beautiful than usual. I'm much ahead. From now on, I have to trouble Sayuri-san to take care of me!"

To Sayuri, these words sounded like a joke and a compliment.There is nothing sinister about him. She has been around Hiratsuka Shizuka a lot and knows that this person is actually a kind person.Just because she can stand up and speak for her now, we know it.She didn't respond to Hiratsuka Shizuka's toast, it was just because she felt inferior rather than having a conflict. Hiratsuka Shizuka loves to talk, when will it be her turn!Maybe in Ai's eyes, she was Hiratsuka Shizuka's maid, his maid.

But since Hiratsuka Shizuka specifically said that, and it seemed like love had been waiting for her, it would be hypocritical if she hesitated any longer.

"Sister Jing, thank you for speaking for me. Love, thank you for your help. Let's drink to a better future."

After the three people clinked glasses, they each took a sip of water and looked at each other with a smile.Some of the awkwardness of just getting acquainted was also eliminated in the laughter. At this moment, the three of them were officially acquainted.

……

At home, oranges are in great demand.Outside, Fei Yingli was still busy.An invitation for Qian Ritsu to get engaged to Kaguya was also sent.This news can be said to have stirred up the turmoil in the upper echelons of Tokyo.Fei Yingli didn't have much idea, after all, she happened to still have a job.And I don’t have the ability to get involved in the exchange of interests at the upper level and still escape unscathed, let alone the last time Yukiko got married, the three floors below were like a war.These are the reasons why Princess Yingli refused to attend the engagement party.

"Teacher, the reserved guests have arrived."

"Call someone in. Is this the order for this afternoon?"

"Yes, but they didn't submit a case or anything, they just asked for an interview. There were only an old man and a middle-aged man who came, looking like a master and a butler."

"Well, that's it."

Fei Yingli secretly became more vigilant.Because her firm deals with the common people, rich people basically have their own team of lawyers.Now a master and housekeeper suddenly appeared, and it happened to be the time when Qianlu was engaged. No matter how you looked at it, there was a big problem.

Soon, people came in.I have to say that Kuriyama Midori’s judgment is basically correct.He is indeed the master and butler of a wealthy family.This outfit is equivalent to one year's worth of savings.

"My dear, Sigong Yan'an."

Fei Yingli had served tea and had just sat down when she heard the introduction from the old man opposite, and her whole body froze.Shinomiya Kaguya and Shinomiya Enan are related to each other as soon as they hear their names.

"My concubine, Eri. I wonder what kind of business Mr. Shinomiya needs to entrust me with?"

"Notarization. Cough cough cough."

Sigong Yan'an's words were astonishing, perhaps because half of his body was buried in the ground.Anyway, he coughed a few times and waved to the housekeeper.

"The location of this notarization is XX Hotel. The notarized contracts are mainly two contracts. One is about the transfer of the shares of Tianming Technology Co., Ltd. controlled by Mr. Shinomiya Yanan to Mr. Raiden Ryoma. The other is a statement by Shinomiya Hui. Explanation of the father-daughter relationship and property distribution between Miss Ye and Mr. Sigong Yanan."

The housekeeper took out two contracts from the briefcase, and Shinomiya Yanan signed them both, pressed his fingerprints, and stamped them with his official seal.Fei Yingli actually didn't intend to read it. After all, the contracts they could come up with were basically legal and compliant, and it was extremely difficult to find any serious loopholes.But Fei Yingli still picked it up and read it carefully. On the one hand, she was curious about the contents, and on the other hand, she was curious about why the contract was not notarized by her own legal team.

The contents of the two documents are very simple. One is about the equity transfer. It is basically a gift. There are no pitfalls. It only requires a signature.The latter one is a bit difficult. The father-daughter relationship with Shinomiya Kaguya is severed, and the custody of Shinomiya Kaguya is transferred to Raiden Ryoma. Furthermore, Shinomiya Kaguya has no right to distribute the property of Shinomiya Anan, but retains The right of his descendants to distribute property.

Fei Yingli finished reading it, and she called him a good guy in her heart!It turns out that this is a trick, but when your old man dies, Shinomiya Kaguya can really get you pregnant!According to Qianlu's approach, he would not eat anything until he is a mature woman based on his xp.This Shinomiya Kaguya is going to get pregnant and give birth to offspring, and you, Shinomiya Yanan, don’t even know how tall the grass on your grave is.

Why not let your own lawyer notarize it?I'm afraid even my own lawyers may have moles.Only then did he find himself. On the surface, he was in the same boat as Qianlu. The two contracts were definitely beneficial to Qianlu, but if they were not beneficial to himself, that was another matter. If this was revealed, Kaguya Shinomiya is designated as a restless child.Feiying wanted to go back to her hometown, but she didn't want to break out. Everything about her family and her family would be in trouble.

Besides, the notarization place is the place where Qianlu got engaged.If it were to be exposed, the first person to be suspected would be himself.However, it is possible for Shinomiya Yanan to explode on his own.At that time, it will be framed on myself.With Qianlu behind him, no matter how much trouble he causes, nothing serious will happen.On the contrary, you can fish in troubled waters.

Fei Yingli's mind was spinning very fast, and she almost figured out what Shinigong Yan'an could do in the notarization of the contract, and what conspiracy she had.But this is no longer a conspiracy, this is a conspiracy.Fei Yingli picked it up and saw clearly that she really had to notarize the contract.Refuse, I have seen it myself, and I cannot escape the blame if something goes wrong.Then accept it, it happens to be a secret, only Shinomiya Yanan doesn't have the idea of ​​making her a scapegoat.

Fei Yingli was not in a good mood after being played by Sigong Yanan like this.After packing up, we set off to the engagement site.You don't dare to get on the bus at Sigong Yan'an. What you say inside is wrong. There's too much to say here.Fei Yingli finally informed the others, and the response she received was to let nature take its course.

Chapter 237

At the engagement party, Qianlu and others, who had entered a room inside to wait, were making final adjustments. There was a door in front of them. After pushing it open, they could stand in front of everyone after taking a few steps. , announcing the engagement openly.

After receiving information from Fei Yingli, she learned that this engagement was such an extremely important thing for Kaguya and her father Shinomiya Yanan, and they even talked about transferring custody and severing the relationship between father and daughter.Qian Ritsu had to consider rejecting Kaguya's request to stand next to him to show her status, but this would go against Kaguya's wishes. After hesitation, Qian Ritsu did not want to cause more trouble. Ritsu still told Kaguya Shinomiya Yanan’s plan.

"I can guess a thing or two about his thoughts, but I..."

"Kaguya, standing is only one reason for indicating status. Even if a person stands at the center of power now, there will always be someone who will replace that person's position over time. If, as suddenly as today, you stand beside me , this is equivalent to abandoning the process and getting directly to the results, which will make people suspicious."

Ai originally failed to think of the reason for persuading Kaguya. It was not until later, when dealing with Hiratsuka Shizu and others' attitude towards Kaguya, that she realized that in many things, this approach is understandable in terms of consequences, but the process It is also extremely important. Even if there is no process, the result may not be what you want.So she came up with this reason.Kaguya also seems to be persuaded. On the one hand, Qian Ritsu needs to face the pressure of Shinomiya Yanan, and on the other hand, Ai's words do make sense.

"You all have equal status to me. No matter whether your character is cold or not, or whether your past is painful or not, I promise that there is no need to prove anything. When I get along with you in the future, I will treat you well. I treat my women equally and love you all as always. So, can you not involve any interests in this moment of great significance in life? "

To be honest, Qianlu hates this exchange of interests. It’s not about money or not, but marriage and engagement with a purpose will touch the 24-character mantra (freedom, equality) in Qianlu’s heart.He likes that everyone can find happiness when they come to him. Previously, he thought that this position was purely because Kaguya was not familiar with him, and he was a little scared.Now it seems that there are countless intrigues and exchanges of interests involved.

Qianlu held their hands tightly and looked directly at them from time to time.Love is not a touching feeling. Everyone can speak human words. For a person of Qianlu's status, speaking human words when meeting others is a necessary skill, and he can even speak a few words.

When Kaguya heard this, she was quite touched. It was the first time she heard such love words, and her heart felt warm. Maybe it was the warmth from her palms that was transmitted to her, or maybe it was because now Kaguya could only rely on and go to I believe Qianlu, it feels pretty good anyway.

In a sense, Ai looks cheerful and lively, while Kaguya looks cold and cold. From this point of view, Ai is easier to handle than Kaguya.In fact, my heart is colder and darker than Kaguya's.Kaguya heard about it and did case analysis.Love is influenced by what we hear and see, plus a social beating.So that's why Ai didn't feel touched by these words, but Kaguya felt touched after hearing them.

"Well, I promise you."

Kaguya nodded, followed the hand he was holding, and hugged Qian Ritsu's arm.

"Kaguya, are you hugging me like this? Hmm?"

"Oh, is that so? I'm sorry."

Kaguya was a little confused at Ai's reminder. She quickly broke away from Qianlu's hand, waved her hand hurriedly, and then apologized.

Qian Ritsu himself also forgot the process because of his nervousness, and he was just as panicked as Kaguya.Naturally, I didn't notice it. Love's reminder came too timely.Originally, when you arrive in a new environment and meet a new person, you still need to get along with them for a long time in the future. You must chat more and have more contact to build better trust and dependence.Physical contact is actually the same.

Just like a couple who just got together, there will basically be a process of holding hands.Along with this behavior, there is a progressive and deeper behavior, which means the deepening of the relationship. The same is true for Kaguya's intimate behavior just now. You are holding his hand now. When you think about it, it may be shyness, and more importantly, there is something. Two, there won't be much of a reaction next time a similar close contact occurs, such as touching a finger or something.And as an impression deepens, this behavior will help both parties automatically gain goodwill.

Unless you are that kind of mad person, or you have been exposed to it too much and don’t care.Otherwise, this kind of behavior is definitely a bonus to bring the two people closer.Ai obviously doesn't want Kaguya and Qian Ritsu to progress so quickly. Although it will be over in a while, why don't they get used to it now?

Love is not jealousy, but the basic pursuit of advantages and avoidance of disadvantages. Now you are forcefully exposing it, instead of letting Kaguya endure the shyness and hold her for a while until other people remind you normally (tell Qian Ritsu that you are going out) , the advantage of this kind of action is that it makes Kaguya realize that someone is paying attention to her. After that, when she hugs Qianliu, she will think that Ai is watching. What kind of good impression can be gained in this way is all in vain.

The so-called seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is nothing more than to prevent the relationship between Kaguya and Qianliu from developing so quickly, so that when dealing with some unexpected situations, Kaguya can leave in time.Yes, Ai thinks this is not a qualified engagement. Compared with the usual marriage, once confirmed, they will be together for life. The sooner the relationship is deepened, the better.But now, one is not knowing when Qianlu will fall, and the other is not knowing whether Qianlu will recognize this engagement.

Ai thinks a lot and has never regarded Qianlu as a final destination.According to Yangno, he doesn't like them, at least not yet.Looking at Yukino, who is the same as Kaguya, Ai also realizes that there will be a fight in the future. I believe that Yangono can handle Yukino, but that is impossible.Therefore, with so many uncertain factors piled up together, Ai Shi really didn't expect that Kaguya and Qian Ritsu could get to the end, and naturally it was impossible to let Kaguya fall into it.

Kaguya is still in a hurry now. She didn't know that her maid has thought so much. She, Kaguya, only has one idea. They are already engaged. Can they change it? From now on, if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, and if you marry a dog, follow the dog. Fortunately There is love accompanying me.

"Mr. Shinomiya and Madam Concubine have arrived and taken their seats and are ready to play at any time."

Lei Dengzhen came close to Qianlu and vaguely reminded him that it was really getting late.Before, I could have said that I would wait for those two people, but now it was a few minutes later than the scheduled time. It was a bit outrageous to not go out yet.

"Okay, I'll go up right away. By the way, where's Ying?"

Qianlu is really not used to the lack of a guard with a sword in front of him.

"She is right near the stage, and the security is over the top."

"OK."

Chapter 238 Business Federation

"I'm very welcome to you all to come to the engagement ceremony of me, Kaguya, and Ai today. I'm not a nagging person. In addition to me, there are two ladies who are the protagonists today. Now let's invite me with applause. My fiancée, Kaguya, and love!”

The script Qianlu received only had a similar sentence, followed by a parenthesis that said free play. Qianlu didn't have anything to say. If it weren't for the fact that there was no one suitable for this position today, he really didn't want to play.

Soon, amidst the applause, Kaguya and Ai came forward and held Qianliu's hand. Both Qianlu and Ai smiled, but Kaguya looked out of place because she had no expression except for her rosy face.Even so, the photographers in the audience seized the opportunity to take photos, and the guests were full of praise.

After the photographers and guests had calmed down, Qianlu continued.

"That's it for now, feel free to do whatever you want!"

"Wait!"

Qianlu was still wondering why Sigong Yan'an remained silent and didn't say hello to him or anything.Qianlu had nothing to say at this moment, and after calling him casual, Sigong Yanan finally spoke up.

Following his old but powerful voice, everyone also focused their attention on this middle-aged man who looked older, and they started talking about it for a while.

"Mr. Sigong is not feeling well, so I will speak on his behalf. Taking advantage of Mr. Wuliangta's engagement today, I also want to announce two things and sign two contracts. Please be a witness!"

After the butler finished speaking, everyone looked at Raiden Ryoma who was sitting at a table near the stage. He just calmly took a sip of tea and then looked at Qianlu.

"Of course. Come on, take a table. Invite Mr. Shinomiya and Mr. Raiden to the stage."

"By the way, this lawyer Fei Yingli will be the notary public for this contract signing."

"Please come up, too."

Qian Ritsu followed what they said. Yangno had promised himself to take care of Kaguya's affairs, and he had to accept whatever happened today.Of course, if Shinigong Yanan really cheated him, he would immediately hold a grudge. The contract still had to be signed, and if the company lost money, it would not be a loss for him.

Soon, a table and three chairs were placed on the stage.Qianlu sat in the middle, Thunder and Lightning Ryoma and Sigong Yanan sat on both sides.Fei Yingli stood on one side and took the contract from the butler, in duplicate, four copies in total, and placed them in front of the two principals.

Fei Yingli helped put away the contract stating the relationship between father and daughter, and suddenly realized something. The one signed by Raiden Ryoma obviously had fewer characters than the one signed by Shinomiya Yanan. The one signed by A Fang, that is, it will be kept by Sigong Yan'an after signing.But time was tight and there was no time to take a closer look.The housekeeper also warned her with his eyes not to meddle in other people's business.This is simply a yin and yang contract.

After Raiden Ryoma signed, Shinomiya Yanan pushed the contract over. After exchanging signatures, the two parties shook hands and smiled again, leaving a smile of successful cooperation.

"Mr. Wuliangta, we also need to ask lawyer Fei Yingli to disclose these two contracts."

Qianlu is really convinced. Why are there so many things? It’s because the contract doesn’t have many words. Otherwise, by the time you finish reading it, it will be past dinner time.

"Next, please invite lawyer Fei Yingli to announce the two contracts."

The housekeeper handed Fei Yingli the Party A contract he had put away with a smile on his face.For the first time, Fei Yingli saw with her own eyes what these upper class people were doing.

The contracts were read out quickly. The first one was about company shares. Before they were read out, there was an uproar.Fei Yingli was puzzled, isn't it just a small equity stake?Just a few points, how much is it worth?In fact, money or not is secondary.This share represents the composition of this business association. At the end of last year, Qianlu announced that he would retire from this business association and would no longer make money with this business association. Even if he withdraws, it would be the same without him. You must know that this business association It is basically equivalent to 50.00% or more of the GDP of the entire Japan. As long as they want to do one thing, there is nothing they can't do.

But now, what does Shinigong Yanan mean as the first member to withdraw from the circle? He is not optimistic about it, or he cannot stay in this community of interests. The chain effect caused is enough to make the already unreliable business The federation became disloyal and even fell apart.This is not a good thing.

The second contract was absolutely amazing. Fei Yingli had never seen this contract before. It only had Raiden Ryoma's signature on it, but not Shinomiya Yanan's signature and fingerprints.There is also a confidentiality regulation above. If the contract conflicts with Party B's contract, the contract will be invalid and Party B's contract shall prevail.In addition, the above content is missing one thing, that is, the children of Shinomiya Kaguya retain their inheritance rights.It can be seen that Shinomiya Yanan wants to keep Shinomiya Kaguya as a way out for the Shinomiya family.

But it was this operation that made Fei Yingli puzzled. In other words, it is reasonable for you to ask Shinomiya Kaguya's children to have a surname named Shinomiya. You don't have one. Then your fallback path looks like pampering no matter how you look at it. Shinomiya Kaguya’s daughter.But that is impossible. If Shinomiya Yanan really dotes on Shinomiya Kaguya, his daughter, he will never give up the custody rights easily, unless the struggle for the interests of the Shinomiya family has reached a fierce stage or the interests of the Shinomiya family. The conflict is about to break out.

Right now, like this, Sigong Yan'an is still alive, no matter what happens, he has to die to prevent chaos.All this seems to be self-contradictory, and Fei Yingli really can't understand it.

After Fei Yingli made the announcement, everyone started eating and drinking. Of course, most people no longer had that thought, and their minds were full of thoughts about the existence of this business association.Shinomiya An'an's contract has made the entire upper class of Tokyo sleep uneasy.

Qianliu took Kaguya and Ai to the table and walked over to propose a toast. Unknown to others, the red wine in Qianliu and their three glasses was replaced with grape juice of similar quality.After all, it was much more lively than Yukiko's wedding, and even more lively than the party at the end of last year.This time, not only the rich, but also the powerful came, with all kinds of power.

For example, Masato Iino is the Supreme Court Justice. Under his chairmanship, the committee often passes amendments to various laws and supplementary regulations.Another example is Yui Aragaki, who is the director of the State Administration of Publication. All publications and books must be approved by the State Administration of Publication.Another example is Nishikino Kojiro, who is the director of Nishikino General Hospital (private) and the president of the Japan Medical and Health Council.

It can be said that these rich and powerful people basically hold many positions and interact with each other, forming a huge community of interests that spans all walks of life and even controls the entire situation.

Chapter 239 Opinion

The toast started at the Shinomiya Anan table in the front, then walked around and returned to the Raiden Ryoma table at another table in front of the stage.

In addition to Kaguya and Ai, Qian Ritsu also brought Raiden Shin. In her words, if he made any moves or said something, she could get her men ready earlier.Qianlu also knows that engagement and marriage can cause a lot of troubles. If he really says a few words, he may not be doing it unintentionally.

When they arrived at Shinomiya Yanan's table, the housekeeper actually sat next to Shinomiya Yanan. On the other side was Shinomiya Yanan's wife, and the others were some chaebol heads and their wives with the same status.Qianlu had met most of the men and a few women at the last year-end party.Those should be the real talking heads of these chaebols.

When they made room for Qian Ritsu and others to squeeze in and toast, where Qian Ritsu couldn't notice, Kaguya just stood behind Ai and followed her and put her hand in. She didn't say anything at all. Touch the cup.This detail was naturally noticed by Raiden Zhen and other interested people.

"Brother Qianlu, will you come over and have a chat later?"

After the toast, Shinomiya Yan'an took a sip of wine, and it was rare for him to say this somewhat lengthy sentence. After all, he had previously cherished his words like gold.

"Okay! Definitely!"
