Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 100 Yukiko, My house is quite big.

"Ugh!!!"

Yukiko, who was shopping, suddenly exclaimed after receiving a phone call, attracting the attention of passersby.

Feeling the gazes of everyone, Yukiko quickly apologized, then went into a quiet corner before speaking.

"Why are you suddenly going back to the US?"

Just now, Chris called to tell her that she had to go back to the United States, and that she was in a very urgent situation.

Upon hearing this, Vermouth leaned back in her airplane seat and said softly, "It happened so suddenly, I didn't expect it either. Anyway, I need to go back and take care of some things. It might take three to five days, or ten days to half a month."

"You'll be alone in Tokyo for a while, but don't worry about the hotel room; I've been paying for it for a long time."

"As for food, you can only eat at the hotel's buffet now. If you want to eat out, there's nothing I can do. I forgot to leave you your card!"

The hotel has a buffet, which is included in the room rate, but the taste is just average.

Who told the BOSS to suddenly call her back to the United States? She left in a hurry, without even going back to the hotel, and went straight to the airport. It was impossible for anyone else in the organization to send things to Yukiko.

Naturally, nothing was left for Yukiko.

Before this, she was going to give her supplementary card to Yukiko, but she didn't accept it.

Now that she's gone, Yukiko is truly penniless, but at least she won't be sleeping on the streets.

Upon hearing this, Yukiko paused for a moment, then laughed and waved her hand, saying, "It's alright, you don't need to worry about me."

"I guarantee you'll see a lively and energetic Yukiko when you come back."

Chris could tell that Yukiko was putting on a brave face, and she sighed inwardly, her expression turning serious.

"Yukiko, there's something I'm hiding from you, but it's not about me; it's about Yusaku Kudo."

There are some things that Yukiko needs to know, and we need to make plans as soon as possible.

She could indeed support Yukiko for the rest of her life, but Yukiko would definitely not want to; she still has her pride.

So let's tell Yukiko something first, so she can be mentally prepared.

Yusaku Kudo!

Upon hearing that familiar name, Yukiko's face darkened.

She's still angry about what happened last time.

And in all this time, Kudo Yusaku only made a few phone calls in the first two days, and hasn't made any other calls since.

Most importantly, he didn't even come back to Japan to find her, which is the worst thing he could do.

After all this time, there hasn't been a single apology. Is work and social engagements really more important than her?
This made Yukiko very upset.

Now, Chris is also preparing to tell her about Yusaku Kudo, which she doesn't feel is a good thing.

Perhaps while she was away from the United States, Kudo Yusaku was seduced by some woman.

When she was around, she dared to stay out all night, fooling around with other women, leaving herself covered in the smell of rouge.

Since she's no longer around, she's probably been seduced by someone else.

A few drinks, a few flirty words, and they've hit it off.

After all, Yusaku Kudo is a big celebrity in Hollywood, and there are quite a few people eyeing him.

"Tell me what it is, and I'll accept it."

Yukiko took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

“Alright, then I’ll tell you, so you won’t blame me for not telling you.” Chris nodded and continued, “After you left, Kudo Yusaku fainted due to a fever and was taken to the hospital by ambulance.”

"Later, the woman named Rias also went to the hospital and began to take care of Kudo Yusaku in the hospital."

Upon hearing this, Yukiko's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

It's that woman again! She's like a persistent ghost!
Moreover, after I left Los Angeles, this woman started making moves and even coveted her position. I just don't know if Yusaku Kudo was able to resist these temptations.

"Then, for some reason, Kudo Yusaku gave her a sum of money, a considerable amount, and the woman even kissed him."

"Perhaps it was to thank this woman for taking care of her."

At this point, Yukiko's face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and she had temporarily forgotten the last sentence Chris had added.

Hospital, giving money, kissing.

You bastard, you're still going to whores outside! You're sick and still can't behave yourself, you're so thirsty.

"Is there anything else?" Yukiko suppressed her anger and continued to ask.

Chris naturally sensed the anger in Yukiko's tone, but she didn't take it seriously.

She was telling the truth without embellishing anything.

So what happens to her and her husband in the end has nothing to do with her.

Moreover, Yukiko's divorce from Yusaku Kudo might actually be a good thing.

Hollywood is a huge arena of fame and fortune, a den of iniquity.

Yusaku Kudo has been corrupted.

Rather than letting Yukiko continue to waste her life and youth with Yusaku Kudo, suffering even greater harm, it's better to end things sooner rather than later and get it over with.

With Kiko's looks and figure, finding someone younger would be a piece of cake.

She thought Conan's PE teacher was great, a perfect match for Yukiko—young, handsome, and a good cook; he seemed like a family man.

Kitahara Natsuhiro: Chris, you have a really good eye!

Of course, it all depends on whether Yukiko herself is willing.

Chris said, "Also, recently the private investigator I hired filmed the two of them going out together, and it was even reported in the Los Angeles Times."

Hollywood is in Los Angeles, and Yusaku Kudo became famous for his work "Duke of the Night" and for writing many screenplays.

So it's common for him to be followed by paparazzi when he goes out, and to end up in the newspapers.

Yukiko used to appear in the newspaper with Yusaku Kudo, but now the person appearing in the newspaper with Yusaku Kudo is no longer Yukiko, but another woman.

Rumors are circulating in Hollywood that Yukiko was dumped by Yusaku Kudo, and some women are starting to get restless.

Of course, the private investigator Chris mentioned was one of her subordinates.

Crunch!

Crunch!

Just then, Chris heard an unusual sound, the sound of rubbing hands together in anticipation.

It seems Yukiko is quite angry.

"So, did they sleep together?"

This is what Yukiko cares about most: if he sleeps with other women, then their marriage will come to an end.

She will divorce Yusaku Kudo and return to being Yukiko Fujimine.

Of course, Conan would never agree, but that's a matter between the couple, what does it have to do with Conan?

Children should meddle in adults' affairs.

“Not yet,” Chris said softly. “As for what will happen later, I don’t know either.”

Martina is still monitoring Kudo Yusaku, and there's no news yet about them sleeping together.

But no one can say for sure what will happen next.

After all, Yusaku Kudo is a man in his forties, in the prime of his life.

Who knows when things might escalate and they might end up sleeping together.

This kind of thing is quite common in Hollywood, and Chris is used to it.

"Okay, I understand. Then I'll have to trouble you, Chris, to investigate further. If they really are in that kind of relationship, I'll give them my blessing." Yukiko sighed, closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, a resolute glint flashed in them.

She's not the kind of woman who can't live without Yusaku Kudo. She has hands and feet, and she can survive even if she works at a convenience store.

As for returning to her old profession as a star, that's probably not something she can do.

The entertainment industry changes so quickly, with new talents replacing the old. Chris's connections are limited to Hollywood, so she probably can't be of much help here.

Besides, if she were to make a comeback at her age, those guys would definitely laugh at her.

Who would use an actor who hasn't faded into obscurity?
"Give them their blessing?" Chris paused, then looked at her with a hint of exasperation: "Why should we give them our blessing?"

"You've managed the household for Yusaku Kudo for so many years, why should you leave with nothing?"

"Besides, the one who's in the wrong is Kudo Yusaku, not you. He's the one who should be left with nothing."

"Alright, you don't need to worry about this. If something like this really happens, I'll handle it for you. You don't need to worry about lawyers or anything."

"I guarantee that this woman will lose everything and that Kudo Yusaku will be homeless."

Chris's connections extend far beyond Hollywood; she has connections in both the political and business worlds.

If a lawsuit breaks out, Kudo Yusaku will definitely leave with nothing, since he is the one at fault, not Yukiko.

"Chris is so lucky to have you as a friend."

Yukiko looked deeply moved.

Now, Chris is the only good friend who can help her.

"We've known each other for so many years, let's not stand on ceremony."

“But you should still think about your future,” Chris said.

"Okay, I'll think about it carefully. I'll leave things over there to you."

This flight is about to depart, please...

"Alright, I won't chat with you any longer. The plane is about to take off. Let's talk again after I get to the United States."

"it is good."

Yukiko nodded, then hung up the phone. The smile on her face vanished, replaced by disappointment, and a hint of pain flashed in her eyes.

She still has feelings for Yusaku Kudo, and even when she's being bullied, she just says things in anger.

If Yusaku Kudo came to Tokyo to apologize to her, she would forgive him.

But not only did he not do that, he also got into a physical altercation with someone in the hospital, and his outing was even filmed and made it into the newspaper.

This really disappointed Yukiko.

She never expected things to develop this way, leaving her feeling very confused and unsure of what to do.

In the past, she was a housewife, and it was enough for her to take care of her family and keep the house in good order.

But now she may be single again, and then she will no longer be a housewife and will need to find a job to support herself.

We can't rely on Chris to support us forever.

She has self-respect, but she doesn't know what to do.

Yukiko graduated from high school and joined an entertainment company after graduation. She debuted at the peak of her career and became a heartthrob and a popular idol.

But this idol didn't stay in the spotlight for long before retiring to get married.

This resulted in her not earning much money, and after getting married, she always spent Kudo Yusaku's money.

Even if Yusaku Kudo leaves with nothing in the divorce, she doesn't plan to take his money. She will leave all the money to Conan and go to work.

She refused to believe that she could starve to death without Yusaku Kudo.

But what to do, she really didn't know.

She didn't learn a trade either.

"Mrs. Edogawa?"

Just then, a somewhat familiar voice came from not far away, but Yukiko ignored it.

Mrs. Edogawa? Who are you calling?

When she heard it a second time, she realized that Mrs. Edogawa was herself.

Her current identity is Conan Edogawa's mother, Fumiyo Edogawa.

Because she doesn't use this identity very often, she hasn't fully embraced it yet.

"Ah," Yukiko snapped out of her daze, looked in the direction of the sound, and met Enomoto Azusa's gaze.

"Oh, it's Miss Xiao Zi. Good morning."

It's hard to get used to being called Mrs. Edogawa right now.

Upon hearing this, Enomoto Azusa nodded slightly: "Good morning, Mrs. Edogawa."

"Azusa, what are you doing?" Yukiko asked, looking at Azusa riding her electric scooter.

Xiao Zi said with a smile, "I just went to the supermarket to buy some materials and I'm about to go back to the store."

"I just happened to be passing by and then I saw you, Mrs. Edogawa, standing here, lost in thought."

"Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Just now, when she saw Fumiyo Edogawa, she noticed that she looked quite unwell, so she came over to ask her what was wrong.

Hearing this, Yukiko forced a smile and waved her hand, saying, "It's nothing, just a little bit of irritation."

Halfway through her sentence, Yukiko suddenly remembered something and looked at Azusa.

"Xiao Zi, are you still hiring at your store?"

She recalled seeing a job posting outside the restaurant when she went there to eat; they were looking for waitresses and cashiers.

She should be able to handle this kind of job.

Besides, she knows the restaurant owner, so he probably won't refuse her, an older office worker.

Although she could work in other places, she would be at a disadvantage in unfamiliar territory.

You can work part-time at Kitahara Natsuyu's place first to familiarize yourself with the process.

"Mrs. Edogawa, are you looking for a job?" Enomoto Azusa asked. "Has something happened at home?"

In her memory, Fumiyo Edogawa was a noblewoman whose every word and action was very proper and elegant, unlike an ordinary person; she must have been born into a wealthy family.

Now that she's actually going out to work, there must be some difficulties at home.

Perhaps someone in the family is sick and urgently needs money, or perhaps her husband's company has gone bankrupt and she needs to come out to earn money to support the family.

That's how it's portrayed on TV.

Thinking of this, a tear fell from Enomoto Azusa's eye.

Seeing this, Yukiko stepped forward and asked, "Azusa, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly crying?"

She looked completely bewildered, utterly unaware that Enomoto Azusa was imagining a tragic drama.

They were talking peacefully, why did the child suddenly start crying? Is there something wrong with the child?

"It must be very hard for one person to support a family."

"what?"

Hearing this, Yukiko was even more confused. What on earth are you talking about?!

I can't understand anything!

I had something to do today, so I only have one copy. I won't upload it tomorrow. Sorry.
