My daily life in love is too contrary to my character.

As soon as Yu Jian looked up at the poster, she saw two people on it. One was her daughter, and the other was sitting right next to her. They were both smiling at her. Even though there wasn't anything too sweet between them, it still made her very angry.

Unable to bear it any longer, I glanced down and saw, damn it, there were more than a dozen versions in front of me.

As soon as Yu Jian entered, he pressed a button on the table. A dozen seconds later, a middle-aged man and woman appeared in the room. "Master, is there anything you need?"

"Butler Yoshioka, could you please take this poster down?" Yumi Ichiri raised her head to indicate the location of the poster. "Don't worry about damaging the wall, just remove it quickly."

"Yes."

"Don't demolish it!"

The butler, Yoshioka Masaki, had just taken a step when he heard Ichiyo's reprimand and stopped, standing there respectfully with his head bowed.

I just glanced at the poster, and it's clearly a wedding photo. One of the main characters is the young lady, and the other main character is sitting next to the hostess, chatting happily with Nao Ichiryu.

Given his familiarity with this family, he knew this was no longer a conflict he could get involved in; the strange boy might even become someone he would have to curry favor with in the future.

"Stop fooling around, Chiyo. This is obviously fake. Why are you still putting it on if it's fake? Butler Yoshioka, take it down right now."

"Isn't this just to prepare in advance in case we actually get married in the future?"

"You two aren't even related right now, why are you making preparations so early?!"

"You know there's no relationship now?" Chiyo was furious when she heard this, and stood up with her hands on her hips. "Then why did you use relatives to force me to stay at home?! Wasn't this to prevent me from having any other relationship with Shiraishi-kun? Why are you making these preparations so early, Father?!"

As expected of Ichigo Sang, he's a master at getting information out of people. However, Shiraishi Sawa suddenly remembered that he had also been tricked into coming here in the same way, and he immediately lost heart.

"This...this is different, you wouldn't understand unless you were a father..."

"Oh, you wouldn't understand what I'm doing now if you weren't my daughter."

"Alright, alright, Dad knows he was wrong. I shouldn't have stopped you last time. Now, take this down quickly. It's too much of an eyesore. Why are you filming with a red background? It looks bloody."

"If you don't leave, I'll punish you with this! Because you wouldn't let me out, I lost 120 yen of my own money."

“If you don’t have enough money, just tell your family. It’s 120 yen, right? I’ll transfer 120 million yen to your card later. Can you calm down now, Chiyo?”

At this moment, Nao curiously asked Shiraishi Sawa Hide,

"Shiraishi-kun, Chiyo told me you really like money, but why didn't you accept Chiyo's 1.7 million yen?"

"I'm sorry for cheating little girls out of their money."

"Isn't Chiyo a year older than you?"

“I feel like I’m a generation older than her in terms of mental age.”

"What if I said I'd give you 1.7 million if you called me 'Mom'? Well, you're sixteen, so I'll deduct 0.1 million from your pay, leaving you with only 1.6 million."

"That's too kind, Mother."

"Oh dear, Shiraishi-kun, you're quite shameless for swindling money from old women," Nao Ichii said with a laugh, covering her mouth with her hand.

"No, Auntie. It's because you give me the impression of being very intelligent and rational. All your decisions are always reasonable. I could never lie to you. Besides, I won't allow you to call yourself an old woman anymore. I don't accept such self-deprecation!"

......

"You nouveau riche wouldn't understand. Your punishment has already been planned. Mom, it's your turn to step in."

Nao Ichiri, who was still chatting with Shiraishi Sawa, smiled and nodded, then said to Yoshioka Masaki, who was standing at the door, "For the next month, you are not allowed to tear up or cover up any photos of Chiyo and Shiraishi together in the house. Now you can leave."

"Yes!"

"Wait, wait, Nao, what if her period comes? Wouldn't that make them laugh at us? It would damage Chiyo's reputation." Seeing Yoshioka Masaki backing away to leave, Ichiri Yumi quickly interjected.

"In that case, you can remove it if relatives visit during this month, but you have to put it back on after they leave."

"Yes!"

Masaki Yoshioka and another butler retreated from the doorway and closed it behind them.

The conflicting orders from the head of the household and the young lady led Yoshioka Masaki to choose inaction and wait and see. However, in this household, the orders given by Ichirin Nao were to be executed and obeyed with the highest priority.

"Nao! Why are you doing this too..." Yuuichi Ichiryu cast a reproachful look at Naoichi Ichiryu, "You just spoil her."

"Who was with me back then saying to let Chiyo go free and that we would support whatever she did? We were all restricted when we were young, and we don't want Chiyo to repeat the same mistakes. But you, while I was away on a business trip, turned your back on me."

When Chiyo called to complain, I wanted to come back and give her a piece of my mind. A month is a month, and besides, Shiraishi-kun's face is quite handsome.

“However,” Nao Ichinori said with a strange smile, “if Shiraishi-kun agrees to tear it up, we can tear it up now.”

Shiraishi Zexiu, who was happily watching the show, realized that the show was playing out on him. When Yuu saw the expectant, threatening, and pleading look in his eyes, Shiraishi Zexiu felt very uncomfortable.

"I think..." Shiraishi Sawa looked at the photo of the two people in front of him, recalling Yuuki's previous methods, "Tear it up..."

Dangerous!

Sitting next to Ichiri Yumi, Ichiri Chiyo's fox-like eyes crinkled together, a faint smile on her face.

But Shiraishi Sawa, who knew her well, couldn't possibly be unaware that this was an extremely dangerous signal, and Shiraishi Sawa also noticed that Ichinori Nao's smile was also evolving in this direction.

I was so stupid! I didn't even distinguish the actual thickness of the thighs. Although Ichiyori Chiyo didn't have as much control over the family as Ichiyori Yumi, and didn't have a bunch of underlings, Ichiyori Nao and her daughter were on the same side!

Why should I be afraid of someone who is fourth in the family?

“I don’t recommend tearing it up. I really like this photo, so keep it. I suggest you tear it up in a month and leave it with me. I’ll keep it safe!” Shiraishi Zexiu suddenly became very firm.

Danger averted!

However, as soon as she entered, Youjian's face darkened again, and she glared fiercely at her cheap son-in-law.

Shiraishi Sawa decided to cheat in order to avoid future trouble.

"Auntie, I'm scared because Uncle is staring at me like that."

"Change how you address me first, your aunt can't help you."

"Mom, I'm scared because Uncle is staring at me like that."

"Darling, hmm?"

Upon hearing the report, Ichiri Nao first glanced at Shiraishi Sawa, telling him to change his tune, and then looked at Ichiri Yuuki with a smile.

Yumi's expression quickly returned to normal, forcing a smile:

"No, how could that be? Shiraishi must have misjudged."

It's so satisfying to tattle.

"Uncle, you wouldn't secretly send someone to teach me a lesson, would you?"

"How could this be...?"

The sound of clenching teeth.

Chapter 96 My Aunt is acting strangely (I'll die if I don't keep reading!)

Once Yu Jian realized that the three people present were on the same side, she decided to avoid seeing them altogether. Even though it was only seven o'clock, she said she was sleepy and wanted to go back to sleep.

Neither the mother nor the daughter exposed him. Instead, Chiyo deliberately framed a photo and handed it to him, telling him to put it on his bedside table.

"Chiyo and Shiraishi-kun, have you two eaten tonight? Do you need me to call the chef to cook something? Or I can cook for you." After the three of them were left, Ichiryu Nao asked the two of them.

“After eating with Mother, what’s the point of cooking if your skill level is the same as mine?” Chiyo replied, glancing at Shiraishi Sawa.

Actually, 7 o'clock should have been the mealtime for the two of them, but Shiraishi Sawa Shu specifically emphasized that Ichiyo should eat earlier in order to avoid the situation of eating at Ichiyo's house.

"Well, don't expose Mom's secrets in front of Shiraishi, we should save some face."

"But Mother, you and I didn't give Father any face at all."

“Your dad is your dad, he’s different.” Nao rubbed her stomach. “But Mom is a little hungry. Chiyo, go to the locker on the third floor and find Mom a box of ‘frpce’ cookies.”

"Sigh~" Chiyo sighed. "Mother, if you want to get me and Shiraishi to talk alone next time, you can just tell me directly. There's no need to make me come all this way."

"Oh dear, you've been found out again. I just told you to give me face, but you wouldn't listen. If your dad treats you like this again, I won't help you."

"I know I was wrong. I'll go get it now. After I get it, I'll sit on the third floor. Call me when you're done chatting."

Chiyo playfully stuck her tongue out at Nao, then gave Hideaki Shiraishi, who had been listening attentively with a smile, a "good luck" look before leaving the room.

Only Nao Ichiriki and Hideaki Shiraishi remained in the room.

In a short time, Shiraishizawa Hide couldn't figure out Ichiryu Nao's personality at all, and it was difficult to glean any useful information from her ever-smiling face.

"Auntie, what would you like to talk to me about?" Before Ichiriki Nao could speak, Shiraishi Sawa asked.

"Actually, what your aunt wants to ask you is whether there's a possibility between you and Chiyo. You're the one I carefully selected."

Since he was so direct from the start, Shiraishi Sawa Hide answered truthfully:

"It's impossible to say that Chiyo has no flaws except for her sharp tongue, but our relationship is only that of good friends now. Besides, Chiyo doesn't like me, and she has made it clear before."

However, Auntie, what did you mean by "carefully selecting" just now?

"Oh, I see. If that's possible, then my selection wasn't in vain. It's no trouble to tell you the truth: the Ueno supermarket where you work is mine. I bought it to provide Chiyo with a place to work."

Some of Shiraishi Sawa's previous doubts were resolved. He realized why his salary was significantly higher than that of a regular supermarket, and why he received wages whether he worked or not, with occasional extra payments. It turned out that all the benefits he received were thanks to Chiyo Ichiyo.

"Chiyo herself doesn't know about this yet, or she might already know but is used to it, so you don't need to tell her. As for choosing a partner, I originally planned to arrange for her to work with a boy of similar age. I even found a boy to give her some special training on how to get along with Chiyo."

However, if this kind of friend is exposed, Chiyo will probably be really angry. And when Chiyo is really angry, it won't be like this today. Today can only be considered as her joking with her father.

So at the time I was still hesitant. When I took over the supermarket, there was still information about you people who had seen the original owner's job posting. I was bored, so I looked through them one by one.

That's when your face really came in handy. A middle-aged woman like me is attracted to handsome guys like you, so I had someone look into your background. Of course, I hope you don't mind.

“It’s alright,” Shiraishi Zexiu shook his head, “it’s just an investigation. But please allow me to emphasize again, Auntie, you are definitely not a middle-aged woman. I don’t think you fit that description at all.”

“Shiraishi-kun, you have a really sweet tongue,” Ichiryu Nao continued, “and your resume is very clean, you have no bad habits, you just moved to Tokyo, and your purpose in working is to support yourself, and you are not interested in women. When I went to your school to check you out, the most common adjective I heard was that you were ‘very aloof’.”

Then I thought I'd let you and Chiyo try being friends. After all, Chiyo didn't go against her father's wishes to attend an all-girls school, and she didn't have any male friends at the time. That's why I wanted to arrange for a boy to be with her.

It seemed a little funny at this point, so Ichijin Nao tapped Shiraishizawa Hide on the shoulder:

"Shiraishi-kun, I never thought you could be so aloof. Did you even exchange more than a hundred words with Chiyo in the first month? I was thinking of replacing you back then. Luckily, you came to your senses later, or you would have been out of a job."

Shiraishi Sawa Hide had no idea that he had almost lost such an easy and high-paying job.

"Things turned out even better than I expected. I never thought you two would not only become friends, but also have a really good relationship. Now, when Chiyo calls me, she talks about more than just Sakura Rei; she often mentions you too."

Oh right!

Nao suddenly clapped her hands, as if she had remembered something.

"Chiyo let slip last time that she promised to wear a bunny girl outfit for you during the sports meet, right? Did you wear it already?"
