Tokyo: They say it's just dating, but they're serious about it.

“My mother said that after a man cheats, he will become indifferent to his wife. However, my husband is very good to me every day, and that feeling will never change.”

As Sayuri finished speaking, a happy smile appeared on her lips, but she quickly suppressed it, probably considering Eiyo's relationship situation.

"Really? Your husband is so wonderful, I'm so envious..."

Yingdai had intended to take this opportunity to give her a heads-up, perhaps by asking, "What would you do if your husband cheated on you? I mean, if you were to," but seeing how happy she was, she was worried that ruining her happiness might make her wary again.

The atmosphere became somewhat silent for a moment, and the two sat down hand in hand on the lounge chairs.

Eiyo guessed that Katsuhiko must be in the convenience store with that bad woman at this time, since they made the call using the convenience store's landline.

The work here is mostly done, but it's still not late.

Sayuri will definitely go to the convenience store to check, and we definitely can't let her run into them. After all, if Mikoto is kicked out, she and Kotoha will be under a lot of pressure.

Who knows, maybe that wicked woman Mikoto, in her dying moments, will drag me and Kotoha into the mess... to cover for her rival who just provoked her. How infuriating!

Chapter 48 Losing money, we must lose money

Xiaobaihe was unaware of Yingdai's inner thoughts, only sensing that Yingdai was currently in a bad mood.

Perhaps it was because she herself had expressed some kind of happy emotion that Yingdai's mood became even more depressed.

Xiaobaihe wanted to try some counseling and remedial measures.

She suddenly remembered what her mother had told her the night before and said, "Sister Yingdai, my mother said that there are many ways for men to cheat, and some of those ways can be forgiven."

"really?"

Yingdai stiffened her neck and turned her head, looking surprised and bewildered.

"Yes!" Xiaobaihe nodded emphatically, and then began to explain...

Last night, Sayuri took Mrs. Kudo back to the Okubo apartment to sleep.

When Mrs. Kudo was cleaning the room, she naturally saw the "Wedding Speech", the wedding mark on the calendar, and was shocked to learn that the widow was Kotoha: Kotoha was obviously the secret love of her son-in-law Katsuhiko!

She instinctively felt a pang of heartache for Little Lily: the poor daughter, probably a substitute.

Considering that Sayuri has been living with Katsuhiko and they have registered their marriage, she is now a married woman!

Her daughter had definitely gone through everything she needed to, so there was nothing she couldn't say. Then, she asked Sayuri rather bluntly, "Is Katsuhiko good to you? In what way?"

Little Lily was so embarrassed that she covered her ears, grabbed her hair, kicked her legs, and pounded her pillow... unable to say a word.

But under Mrs. Kudo's persistent questioning, Sayuri revealed everything.

Mrs. Kudo was pleased to hear this.

It seems the daughter is quite charming, but we can't let our guard down. After all, they've only been married a short time, and everything is new. Once the novelty wears off in about six months, the man's true nature will be revealed, just like her husband, Mr. Kudo.

Then, Mrs. Kudo imparted her experience in managing her husband to Sayuri.

For example: how to discipline your husband, how to determine if your husband is cheating, how to confirm whether your husband is the kind who "has the desire but not the courage", or the kind who "just cheats on you", or the kind who "acts on a whim", or the kind who "is blinded by lust and has fallen for someone else"?

Also: How to ensure "catching them in the act" and create irrefutable evidence so that the husband has no way to deny it.

Of course, there are also follow-up issues: whether to give a warning, to punish severely, to kick out, or to use both kindness and severity, or even to divorce, sue, fight a lawsuit, demand compensation and division of property, and child custody... and so on.

These are experiences that a newlywed cannot possess innately; they must be accumulated through practical experience.

It will span a long period of time; one should never stop learning.

That is to say, until her husband is too old to climb, sits in a wheelchair, has an oxygen tube, and lies in a hospital bed, the old man will not be quiet until he stops breathing.

Mrs. Kudo learned most of these tips from her old best friend... and applied them to her husband, with pretty good results! He used to dare to "cheat on someone else," but now he "has the desire but not the guts."

When Xiaobaihe heard this, she was deeply shocked and felt sorry for her father. She blamed her mother for treating her father like that.

Mrs. Kudo was exasperated. She grabbed Sayuri's hair and punched her on the bottom a few times, saying, "Isn't my relationship with your father great now? It's all thanks to your mother's efforts."

"Okay, you're really something..." Xiaobaihe nodded perfunctorily, then stubbornly added: My husband is different, he treats me very well, don't try to sow discord...

Mrs. Kudo was heartbroken upon hearing this. She was still young; she only learned her lesson after suffering losses.

I'll just ignore her. As long as my daughter stays like this, I'll pretend I'm blind.

Even if she discovers that her son-in-law is dishonest or has caused trouble, she won't tell her, lest she find herself in an awkward position.

Anyway, since they're already married, she's his lawfully wedded wife, and she wields considerable power...

Xiaobaihe never imagined that Shengyan would change his mind, because the emotional value Shengyan was giving her was just too intense, making her dizzy with excitement every day, with hormones, dopamine, and endorphins being released incessantly...

Of course, the methods learned should not be wasted. They can be taught to good friends, such as Eiyo and Mikoto, or after Kotoyo's matter is over and she has a boyfriend, she can be taught them as well.

Yingdai felt a chill run down her spine and swallowed hard. She dared not look into Xiaobaihe's innocent eyes. She subconsciously leaned back in her chair and turned her head to one side, not daring to let Xiaobaihe see her guilty expression.

"Little Lily, your mom is amazing... Are you going to treat your husband like this?"

"I definitely won't need it, my husband treats me very well." Xiaobaihe smiled broadly, her face full of satisfaction.

"That's true. Thank you for the experience. I... I'll use it to deal with my boyfriend..." Yingdai lied guiltily, getting up and walking towards the subway station. "It's getting late, let's go home!"

Eiyo instinctively wanted to find Katsuhiko and ask him for a promise, otherwise she would never be able to live in fear... After all, Sayuri was the legal wife, an unshakeable position.

And Mikoto, repeat what I just said to her, so that she knows how terrible Sayuri is, and behind the terrible Sayuri stands an even more terrible mother.

No wonder when I visited Mr. Kudo before, he always asked me, "Please say a good word for me to my wife. I didn't mean it."

If Katsuhiko cared about me this much, that would be great... It's a pity I'm not his legal wife, so even if I learned these skills, I wouldn't be able to use them at all.

This life has been so pathetic... If only time could turn back, and I could have gotten ahead... (Side story reserved, marked)

Although Yingdai was flustered, she didn't forget the situation at the convenience store and planned to go straight back to Qinye's house.

It was five o'clock in the afternoon, and Xiaobaihe had planned to take a look at the convenience store.

Yingdai quickly made an excuse, "Your father is coming out tomorrow afternoon, that's great news! Tell your mother as soon as possible, don't let her worry. There's a welcome banquet coming up, right? We definitely need to prepare for that..."

Xiaobaihe agreed, so she didn't go back to the convenience store.

When she arrived home, Kotoha wasn't there; Mrs. Kudo came out to greet her.

There are only three of them in the family.

Yingdai suddenly felt cold in the hands and feet, as if she were surrounded by a hundred people. She made an excuse to go study legal knowledge and quickly hid in the bedroom.

Mrs. Kudo asked Sayuri curiously, "Eiyo-chan doesn't look well. What's wrong?"

Xiaobaihe said: She broke up with her boyfriend. He cheated on her. She was very sad and didn't know what to do.

Mrs. Kudo's eyes lit up immediately. Perhaps she had fallen into the bad habit of "being a know-it-all," or maybe she wanted to make Sayuri realize something, so she knocked on Eiyo's bedroom door and began to tutor her...

Mrs. Kudo's advice was more precise and "sharp" than what Sayuri relayed, and even included how to distinguish between "flirting," "saying one thing and meaning another," and "being outwardly friendly but inwardly estranged"... This was Eiyo's summary after listening.

She felt like she hadn't absorbed much of what was being said, barely daring to breathe, desperately hoping that Qin Ye would return soon to share some of the burden with her...

At this time, Qinye was still in the library, cramming on her financial skills.

She felt like she had become an omnipotent god, and everyone else seemed like an "idiot."

Of course, she didn't have time to look at anyone; she just read books and had a photographic memory.

"It's so easy..." Qinye finished the last sip of mineral water, then fell into deep thought. "How strange, how can I be so good?"

I've learned everything I needed to learn; my eyes are like a typewriter, clicking and typing as I print knowledge into my brain.

She couldn't wait to get started, and it would be best if Sheng Yan gave her even more work.

At that time, Katsuhiko will definitely be very surprised!

"Could it be the power of love?" Qin Ye pulled out the wedding speech from her pocket and read it word by word, already able to recite it perfectly... Then she slammed her hand on the table, her face contorted with a furrowed brow and a forced smile, muttering, "He really had it tough..."

Honestly, he's changed so much.

As far as I can remember, he wasn't a talkative person. If he hadn't been a good friend of Kenta, he would probably be a stranger to me, and I wouldn't have any impression of him at all.

Compared to before, apart from having the exact same face, they are practically two different people...

Has your personality changed so much in just half a month that you can't forget it?

And how did he get such a fit physique?

Although Kotoha had never seen Katsuhiko without clothes before, she had seen them playing basketball in vests and shorts in the school gymnasium before. Back then, Katsuhiko had thin arms and legs and was short and thin.

I got a thorough look today: abs, pecs, glutes, and... uh~

How shameless! He didn't even try to cover himself up... Qin Ye swallowed hard, then shook her head violently. Her face was already flushed red. She held her head in her hands and slammed her forehead against the table.

Although the knot in my heart has been untied.

But given my identity, it's really not suitable for things to develop too quickly... right? But if he insists on doing it, there's nothing I can do... right?

After all, he's so strong, and his personality is so... direct.

Qinye's mind was racing, and she felt her thoughts becoming increasingly chaotic. She also had another knot in her heart that made her feel uncomfortable all over: Kenta's vigil was not over yet, and her heart had already changed.

He's like a demon... Let's avoid him for now! At least until Kenta's ashes are buried...

"Madam, please stop banging your head on the table. If you break your head, your love-struck brain will leak out."

Wearing a black leather skirt and a black trench coat, Kanzaki Yumi sat down opposite Kotoha with a smile, carrying a stack of books on workplace secretarial skills and workplace romance.

She was in a pretty bad mood today.

I was speeding last night, and my motorcycle's engine blew out. I almost got caught by the police, and the motorcycle was towed away.

However, her mood improved in the afternoon.

Tanaka Yutaka called her, saying that he had found a very profitable project.

A boss wanted to start a business with him, promising him 30% of the original shares. The person who signed the agreement reviewed the share ownership contract on his behalf.

Yumi Kanzaki was more than happy to help with this request, as long as she received 800,000 yen as a "service fee"... to buy a new motorcycle.

By day, she's a corporate slave and intern lawyer; by night, she's a gambling addict and biker... Her income comes from working herself to the bone.

She thought Tanaka Yutaka would never agree, after all, he was a poor man, but to her surprise, he did.

Like the nouveau riche of a few years ago, he made the payment directly and even gave an extra 10,000 yen tip.

Kanzaki Yumi immediately became interested and hurriedly asked for more details.

Tanaka Yutaka didn't hide anything, telling Katsuhiko the truth from the moment they met at the convenience store. After all, she was a former rich girl, someone he could trust. Although, even now, Tanaka Yutaka doesn't know who the older and younger sister are.

Tanaka Yutaka also mentioned the motorcycle that Katsuhiko had confiscated.
