Life in the other world begins at the Takayanagi family!

So Mao Lilan stopped unpacking the takeaway and asked Mao Li Kogoro very seriously:

"Dad, did you do something wrong outside? That's why you went to the French Romantic Restaurant to buy this takeaway and come back to ask for my forgiveness?"

This kind of thing has happened before, so Mao Lilan has this question.

In addition, Maori Ran was also wondering in her heart what Maori Kogoro had done. Maybe he went out to play marbles and lost all the operating income of the detective agency this month.

It is also possible that he went to Ginza to drink and then gave all the agency's operating income to Mama-san.

However, when faced with Maori Ran's question, Maori Kogoro remained silent at this time.

This made Maori Ran feel that what Maori Kogoro did this time seemed to be a little too big.

"Dad, you're not going to find me another mother, are you?"

Chapter 49: Xiaolan, Don't Doubt Gao Liujun

Since Kogoro Mori feels so guilty, it can only be a question of gender.

It is definitely not just that all the money earned was spent on mama-san in Ginza, there must be something else going on.

"That's not the case."

Faced with his daughter's question, Kogoro Mori immediately waved his hand to deny it.

Kogoro Mori and Eri Kisaki should indeed get divorced, but they are still acting because everything is for the sake of their daughter.

But Kogoro Mouri just wanted to have fun outside and had no intention of bringing back other women to embarrass Ran Mouri.

Moreover, Mouri Ran's fist is not to be underestimated. If the woman brought back makes Mouri Ran angry, she will definitely be knocked out with one punch.

After hearing Kogoro Mouri say that it was not the case, Ran Mouri also breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as her parents have not divorced, she will find ways to make them reconcile so that her original family will be more complete.

"Since this is not the case, Dad, please tell me what happened to you.

We are a family, and we should shoulder the responsibility together."

In Mao Lilan's heart, she also added Kisaki Eri to the list. If she couldn't solve a problem, she could contact Kisaki Eri.

"Xiao Lan, our home is going to be gone."

What Kogoro Mouri said made Ran Mouri confused. How could she have lost her home?

However, Mao Lilan is a smart girl. After thinking about it for a while, a dazed look appeared on her face.

"Dad, you're not going to gamble and lose your entire family, are you?"

Mao Lilan's hands that were used to open the takeaway food now completely stopped. She had to get to the bottom of this matter first.

"It wasn't gambling, it was just buying racehorses and losing money."

In fact, horse racing is also gambling, but the amount that Kogoro Mori bet on before was a bit small.

And he would win occasionally, so Mao Lilan did not stop her father from this hobby.

Now Kogoro Mouri actually said that he sold his house to buy racehorses. This is outrageous.

"Dad, did you sell the house to buy a racehorse?"

"No, I borrowed money to buy racehorses, and then I took all the money, and this house is mortgaged."

He actually borrowed money to buy a racehorse. This made Mao Lilan very angry. Why did her father become like this?

“Dad, you bought horses before, but you always restrained yourself.

Why did you borrow money to buy racehorses this time? And how much did you borrow to mortgage your house?"

Now that he had explained almost everything, Kogoro Mouri no longer concealed any questions from his daughter and he continued to answer them one by one.

“A few days ago, a friend of mine who I often go out to drink and watch racehorses with came up to me.

He said he had gotten an insider tip about horse racing, that if he bought one of the horses, he would have a 100 percent chance of winning.

If you only bet 10 million yen, you can get a return of 50 times to 500 million yen, which means that the average family will not have to worry for the rest of their lives.

But I didn't have that much money, so I went out to borrow 10 million yen and mortgaged my house.

What I didn't expect was that the news he told me was false, and all my investment of 10 million yen was lost.

The loan period is only one week, which means that the other party will most likely come to collect the debt in a few days.

If we can’t pay it back when the time comes, our home will be gone.”

After listening to Kogoro Mori's story, Ran Mori remained silent for a long time.

I didn't expect her father to be so bold and to trust his so-called horse racing friend so easily.

This firm certainly doesn't have 10 million yen, not even 1 million yen in cash.

That is to say, if they cannot raise 10 million yen plus interest to repay the debt within the loan period.

Maybe the other party will come to their house to demand the money back and kick them out of the house.

"Dad, the person you borrowed money from couldn't be Takayanagi Ichiro, the boss of the credit company next door?"

At this time, Mao Lilan suddenly thought of something and asked her father directly.

“Yes, I borrowed the money from Takayanagi-kun.

The reason I invited him to my home for dinner last time was because he lent me money, so I wanted to thank him.”

"Dad, could this be a trap set by him?

Including your horse racing friend, he also prepared it, just to get you to borrow money from him.

Then they proposed some harsh mortgage conditions and finally tried to seize our property."

Ran Mouri doesn't know much about Ichiro Takayanagi.

Although it has been confirmed that Ichiro Takayanagi is a graduate of the University of Tokyo, Ichiro Takayanagi Finance operates a credit company.

Therefore, Ran Mouri did not trust Ichiro Takayanagi very much, and directly imagined that he was a particularly bad person at this time.

Faced with his daughter's doubt, Kogoro Mori shook his head in denial.

“That’s impossible, because that guy not only cheated me, but also cheated many other people.

After they realized we had been cheated, they teamed up to find the man and handed him over to the police.

I asked the police to help me find out that he had nothing to do with Ichiro Takayanagi. He just wanted to deceive those of us who bought the codes together.

Of course, he has a certain relationship with the bookmaker of the Jockey Club and can get a certain share of the money we bet.

As for the compensatory mortgage, it does not exist at all. No matter where the loan is taken out, there must be corresponding collateral.

The only collateral I have is this property.

There won't be any problem with the contract even if your mother comes to take a look at it.

Moreover, when I was borrowing money, I also wanted to get Gao Liujun to join me, but Gao Liujun advised me against it.

The inside information that could be obtained so easily was obviously wrong, and he hoped that I would be on my own.

At that time, I was still laughing at Gao Liujun. Although he opened a credit company, he was unable to seize the opportunity to make a fortune.

Now it seems that I have become the clown, and he is the one who understands the final trap."

Kogoro Mori had thought of this possibility, but after a temporary interrogation by the police, he found out that the person who deceived them had nothing to do with Ichiro Takayanagi.

Moreover, Kogoro Mori also said that Ichiro Takayanagi once advised him not to believe other people's inside information so easily.

It was just that he wanted to get rich on his own and ended up like this.

After hearing what Kogoro Mori said, Ran Mori was also in disbelief. She didn't expect that Ichiro Takayanagi had actually persuaded her father.

"Dad, can you show me your contract?"

Mao Lilan now had no desire to have dinner at all and just wanted to check the status of the contract.

If you can't control yourself, just call Eri Kisaki and ask for leave, or go directly to Eri Kisaki's office.

Chapter 50: The Fake Widow Takayanagi Mika

What surprised Maori Ran a little was that after hearing her request, Maori Kogoro felt around his body and took out the loan contract.

Being stared at by his own daughter made Kogoro Maori feel a little embarrassed.

"If I put it somewhere else in the house, you might find it, Xiaolan, and then you'd probably ask me to return the money, so it's safer to keep it with me."

Now is not the time to worry about such things. After Mao Lilan took the contract, she spread it out and read it.

Mao Lilan doesn't want to become a lawyer in the future, but she has a mother who is a famous lawyer.

I also meet with my mother frequently, so I have a certain understanding of the legal provisions or contracts.

When Mao Lilan read the entire loan contract, she did not find anything wrong.

Combined with what Kogoro Mori just said, Ichiro Takayanagi also persuaded Kogoro Mori, which shows that Ichiro Takayanagi, the president of a credit company, still has a certain bottom line and moral integrity.

In other words, this time it was completely because Kogoro Mori was so obsessed with getting rich that he brought upon himself the current situation.

Now it is enough to prove that there is no problem with Ichiro Takayanagi, so the responsibility should be borne by Kogoro Mori.

Unfortunately, Kogoro Mori now has no other choice but to mortgage his house because his family does not have that much money.

Mao Lilan immediately thought of her mother again.

I have been a barrister for many years and should have some savings.

But based on her mother's previous attitude, it would be unlikely that she would take out 10 million to save Kogoro Mouri.

If the person who made this mistake was Ran Mouri, then Eri Kisaki would definitely be very willing to save her daughter.

There is still one person who can save him, and that is his good friend Suzuki Sonoko.

You have to know that Suzuki Sonoko is the second daughter of the Suzuki Group, and she has been a good friend of mine for many years.

As long as you ask, the other party will definitely be willing to help you.

But the two of them used to have a very simple childhood friendship. Even when Maori Ran and her father Maori Kogoro were living in a difficult time, they never made any requests to their good friend.

Although the other party promised to help her, Mao Lilan still chose to stay with her father.

If I ask Suzuki Sonoko for help now, it is very likely that their friendship will be ruined.

So neither Eri Kisaki nor Sonoko Suzuki are the first choice now. Ran Mouri decided to contact Ichiro Takayanagi first.

"Dad, when will President Takayanagi come back?

When the time comes, I will go over and talk to him to see if the time for paying back the money can be eased.

Talking about success, Dad, if you work hard, maybe you can pay the money back.

But after this, Dad, you must never play horse racing or ping pong, or any other gambling game, or we will be plunged into tragedy again."

Ran Mao Li thought about talking to Ichiro Takayanagi in person, but she didn't think about going to the association to get the money back immediately.

Because it is legal, and Kogoro Mori would be stupid to believe what others say.

"Takayanagi-kun seems to have gone back to his hometown to attend his uncle's wedding. He should be back in two days."

Maori Kogoro first answered the question about Takayanagi Ichiro's whereabouts, and then said to Maori Ran:

"Xiao Lan, don't tell your mother about this for now, or she will definitely laugh at me for being useless."

"Dad, if you can solve the problem you encountered this time, then I won't say anything."

Maori Ran's words blocked Maori Kogoro. If he could solve this problem, he would not buy some delicious food to atone for his sins.

Now it seems that I can only hope that the negotiations between my daughter and Ichiro Takayanagi will go smoothly, so that I can pay in installments.

"Xiao Lan, we are the boss of this family now, whatever you say is what counts, but you should eat something first."

"Dad, if you want to eat, you can eat it. I won't eat it."

With such a big thing happening at home, Mao Lilan had no appetite at all.

And at the moment she couldn't find anyone to talk to, so she could only pick up the contract and go into her room.
