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

Katsuhiko said, "Don't borrow any more money. I'll transfer 100,000 yen to you after I hang up. Tell me the bank account number for receiving money at home, I forgot."

"No need!" the old father roared as he slammed the door and stormed out.

"Naughty."

"How can you talk about your father like that? How did he become a college student and go astray..."

Katsuhiko's mother chided him playfully, then continued, "Anyway, your father can't borrow any money... I'll chat with Sayuri-chan for a bit, and then I'll give you my bank account details..."

Chapter 61 The Mysterious Visitor to the Mental Hospital, Hiroji Sato, Danger!

Sayuri chatted with Katsuhiko's mother for more than 30 minutes. When she hung up the phone, she was all smiles, realizing she had found a powerful backer.

She even insisted on paying money, transferring 100,000 yen back to her hometown.

Seeing how smug and excited she was, Sheng Yan didn't say anything to discourage her, such as, "Your mother will help me."

The two elders had completely different values. Mrs. Kudo was more pragmatic and was flexible in order to live a good life.

The cheap father from Hokkaido is the kind of person who values ​​integrity and is extremely proud; he would rather starve than accept charity.

They were both strong-willed and couldn't see eye to eye at all.

The outcome was entirely predictable; the cheapskate father probably wouldn't stay long before getting so angry that he'd go back to his hometown.

The two returned to the apartment hand in hand, Xiaobaihe still excited.

Sheng Yan had been holding Xiao Baihe's hand since 8 p.m., and now at 10:30 p.m., the two gold coins had been stored in his personal space.

Xiao Baihe only realized at this point that her husband had been holding her hand since dinner and hadn't let go yet—how romantic!

No wonder Qinye kept glancing in my direction during the meal; she must be envious, right? How delightful! I'll make her so jealous.

Even as he prepared to take a shower and go to bed, Katsuhiko still wouldn't let go.

Although they had showered together several times, Xiaobaihe felt so embarrassed that her whole body went weak just thinking about what she would experience while showering.

"I'm going to take a shower, stop holding me," Sayuri said, her head down, tilting her head to rest against Katsuhiko's chest. "The matter of Kotoha hasn't been resolved yet, you have to give me an explanation."

It's like being cuckolded; they don't take it seriously.

"Then let me show you what life is like without Kotoha."

Katsuhiko packed up the toiletries, picked up Sayuri, and went into the bathroom...

When Sayuri woke up the next morning, although her eyes were bright, she kept getting distracted. Every time Sheng Yan passed by her, she would subconsciously look away, her face flushed and she would try to hide.

"Stop daydreaming," Katsuhiko said, placing two bowls of udon noodles on the table. "Come and eat."

Last night, I got two 500-yen gold coins from Sayuri, which expanded my personal space to the size of three suitcases.

"Oh..." Little Lily carefully moved to the side of the dining table.

The bowls and chopsticks clattered, and Xiaobaihe, her face flushed, hesitated to speak.

Sheng Yan focused on drinking his noodles without saying a word, eating his breakfast quietly.

Just as he was eating, Katsuhiko's cell phone rang.

Katsuhiko's mother called: "We need to take a boat... The ticket seller said we'll arrive tomorrow if things go smoothly, but the day after tomorrow if things go slowly..."

Katsuhiko's father thought the plane tickets were too expensive, so the elderly couple packed a lot of local specialties last night. They were also worried about the shipping costs, so they carried all the bags and chose to take the cheapest mode of transportation: a slow long-distance ferry, which would take about 24 or 25 hours to reach Chiba Prefecture, and then they would take a bus... expected the day after tomorrow.

"Alright, I'm not in a rush anyway. Just call me every time you get to a stop and change trains to let me know you've arrived safely..."

Sheng Yan said a few words and then handed the phone to Xiao Baihe, letting the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chat for a while. It was a pleasant conversation.

Katsuhiko's mother also asked Sayuri if Katsuhiko had bullied her last night. "Don't be afraid, Mom will back you up when we get to Tokyo..."

Little Lily's shy smile...

While the two were still eating breakfast, Kotoha and Eiyo had already finished and left the house.

They were going to visit Eiyo's mother, Kotoha's deceased husband Kenta's mother, and Kotoha's mother-in-law...

Even if Mrs. Kudo hadn't mentioned it last night, Kotoha and Eiyo had already planned to go over there, mainly to renew their hospital fees and to pick up some daily necessities. After all, even in a mental hospital, you still have to pay to sing nursery rhymes without a care in the world...

Fortunately, thanks to the guarantee provided by Sheng Yan after Mikoto took out the loan, the bank has withdrawn its pressure and sanctions on the food processing plant regarding its various debt issues, and can now come up with some money to ask Mikoto for support.

Upon arriving at the mental hospital, Yingdai couldn't help but feel saddened after seeing her mother's condition.

She discovered that she was the most miserable one.

Originally living in her parents' house, she became a parasite living in Kotoha's house after her father ran away and the property was taken away by a yakuza group.

It's all that bastard Hiroji Sato's fault. I really want to kill him... After all, because of him, my brother died, my mother went crazy, my father ran away, and now my sister-in-law has such an awkward relationship with me.

She was the one who brought them together in the first place, and now she's doing it openly, while I have to do it secretly...

Yingdai felt a mix of emotions: "I'm afraid my sisters are suffering, but I'm also afraid they're driving Range Rovers." She was incredibly conflicted...

"Sister Eitai, do you know someone named Suzuki?"

After the two left the hospital, Qin Ye suddenly asked in a low voice.

"What Suzuki? I don't know it." Eita tried to pinch the ear of the violin leaf again.

“I just checked the visitor list, and your name is in the section for visiting your mother.”

"Probably some kind of philanthropist! Aren't there a lot of celebrities doing charity work in parks?" Yingdai didn't have time to think about it, so she gave a perfunctory answer, then suddenly turned her head and said, "Why aren't you calling me 'Grandma' anymore?"

Kotoha froze, her face flushed, and she whispered, "Why are you bullying me like Mrs. Kudo?"

"How could I dare to bully you? I'm staying at your house, and you could kick me out at any time. After all, you and Sheng Yan are open about your relationship, so I have to hide when he comes looking for you, otherwise he'll get in the way."

"I never intended to chase you away. Aren't we the same?" Qin Ye said shyly, scratching her hair. "Even if Katsuhiko-kun came, do you think you could escape..."

"Let's go, to work at the factory!" Yingdai's breath hitched, her face flushed red, and she turned and left. "The president and chief financial officer... it's like I'm being given charity by you. Do I need to run away?"

On the other side, here is Mikoto.

Because of the dinner party last night, she was too nervous and forgot to pick up Chinatsu from the school gymnasium. However, Chinatsu's mentor, Yuma Kamisaki, will take her home.

Last night, Yuma waited until nine o'clock, but no one came to pick her up. So she took Chinatsu to the convenience store herself, but no one was there. She then called home, but no one answered. She went to Mikoto's house, but still no one was there. Finally, she rang Kotoha's doorbell, but still no one was there...

Chika was very happy, saying that she finally didn't have to go to school tomorrow.

Yuma Kanzaki felt like she had become a nanny and kicked a lamppost in anger.

Finally, Yuma Kanzaki decided to take Chinatsu back to their school dormitory to sleep. However, as they passed the convenience store again, Yumi Kanzaki's motorcycle happened to be parked in front of it.

Then, Yuma Kanzaki learned that Katsuhiko had taken his girlfriends to a family dinner hosted by his wife, Sayuri.

She had attended the funeral party before, so she naturally knew that Katsuhiko's real wife was Sayuri. Therefore, it was only natural that she included Mikoto as one of her girlfriends.

Of course, Kanzaki Yumi was one of them at this time, right?

After all, she was quite aroused and seemed very happy when Sheng Yan patted her butt last time... and now, she rushed to Sheng Yan's company for an interview and became an employee there.

Yuma Kanzaki didn't want to get involved in Katsuhiko's family affairs, so she handed Chinatsu over to Yumi Kanzaki and gave her Mikoto's address and phone number, then told her to wait and deliver it there.

Chapter 62 Little Lily: My In-Laws Are Coming to Tokyo to Support Me

Yumi Kanzaki was naturally very happy to do this.

Although he successfully joined the company, Sheng Yan rarely went to the company, so he had no chance to get close to him, no chance to develop a relationship, and ultimately, it was even less likely that he could squeeze money out of him.

She wanted to seize every opportunity to get close to Katsuhiko.

Of course, she still had to be careful about what Yuzuru Kamisaki assigned her; she couldn't just do whatever she was told to do immediately.

Then, Kanzaki Yumi showed off her lawyer's uniform and said: "Let's make a bet. Whoever clears the debt first will be the older sister, and that will never change. Let's sign a contract and put our fingerprints on it."

While criticizing her for being "childish" and despising her for being "despicable," Yuma Kamisaki finally agreed.

As she was leaving, while Chinatsu was squatting at the convenience store entrance playing with Play-Doh, she whispered to Kanzaki Yumi, "You're just waiting to suffer!"

Kanzaki Yumi retorted, whispering, "Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You're just jealous! You envy me for finding someone handsome, young, and good at making money."

Not to be outdone, Yuma Kamisaki pointed at Chinatsu and whispered, "In the end, you'll end up like her mother, with a four-year-old child and not even getting a proper title. At best, you'll be a fake wife."

Based on Katsuhiko's attitude towards Chinatsu, and Chinatsu's attitude towards Katsuhiko, Yuma Kamisaki secretly guessed that he was probably her biological father. After all, aside from not being able to ask, she had no interest in investigating such matters.

Yumi Kanzaki said she didn't care, saying, "Even if it's like her mother, it's not a bad thing. As long as he's his biological child and he still acknowledges me, he should be able to give me some of his assets! I even did some research on his businesses. Apart from the food processing plant, which is losing money a little, the used goods store, convenience store, and adult video company are all profitable. They've multiplied several times in less than a year. Look at her mother, she has her own business... I need to work harder and have a child soon, maybe I can get a company too!"

"Disgusting, shameless! A disgrace!"

"You're just jealous! With your childish, crappy novels and those lousy comics whose only redeeming quality is the artwork, you'll never pay off your debts in ten lifetimes. In the end, you'll only be able to marry a sickly old man in his sixties or seventies, and you won't live long..."

Yuma Kazaki tossed her high ponytail, turned and walked away, "Hmph, my submitted novel has already received feedback, just wait and see!"

The feedback Kanzaki Yuma received was: You're not suited to writing novels, you should change careers!

She decided to focus on manga starting tonight. Weekly Shonen Jump was holding a "Newcomer King Manga Contest," so she would revise the short story she had drawn last week that she was too embarrassed to submit and send it out... She was going all out!

After Yuma Kanzaki left, Yumi Kanzaki stared at Chinatsu, secretly thinking about how to get along with Katsuhiko's daughter. If she could get Chinatsu to like her, then Mikoto would be a natural next step.

Then, Kanzaki Yumi left a message on Mikoto's landline, and then took Chinatsu to the amusement park, bought snacks... They played for an hour, making Chinatsu very happy...

I arrived back at Mikoto's house around 10 p.m., made an excuse that it was too late, and then stayed at Mikoto's house.

Through a night of conversation with Mikoto, I discovered that she is a really easy-going woman, much better than Eiyo, whose breasts and mind are completely disproportionate.

We can break through her.

Mikoto said she didn't care about her pursuit of Katsuhiko, which is typical of a woman who has gained confidence after having a child with Katsuhiko.

They also learned from her that Qinye was Shengyan's girlfriend, and that the loss-making factory belonged to Qinye. Shengyan was helping her to revive the factory and pay off Qinye's debts...

Kanzaki Yumi was trembling with envy; perhaps there was hope for her own enormous debts...

This morning, after getting up, Kanzaki Yumi volunteered to make breakfast, wash the dishes, and even took the initiative to drive Chinatsu to school. Then she rode her motorcycle to the factory to wait for Director Katsuhiko to come and direct the filming...

Mikoto watched with a smile, quietly enjoying the perks of being pampered in every way by her "family nanny".

Last night, while talking with Yumi Kanzaki, I managed to glean a lot of information from her, such as the fact that Yumi Kanzaki is heavily in debt.

She said she wanted to become a "close" "business partner" with Sheng Yan, and hoped that Sister Meiqin would be lenient and give her a chance to show her abilities. She said she would take care of all the housework and Sheng Yan's daughter in the future.

Mikoto was still feeling a bit resentful; Kanzaki Yumi was clearly eyeing her husband's assets to pay off his debts...
