Conan: The Self-cultivation of Fake Wine

But the moment she saw Lu Ren, the smile on Mao Lilan's face suddenly froze.

"Brother Ren, why are you here?"

Homo sapiens (alert)

Lu Ren was stumped by this question for a moment.

It seemed like he shouldn't be here. But he hadn't done anything wrong, had he?

Before Lu Ren could even ask, Fei Yingli sternly scolded him, "Don't be rude! Apologize to Mr. Lu Ren!"

"sorry."

"It's okay." Lu Ren waved his hand, indicating to Fei Yingli that there was no need to be so serious.

"I'm here today to discuss cooperation. I'm planning to start my own business recently, and I need to consult a professional lawyer for some legal knowledge."

"Oh, that's it."

Mao Lilan obviously breathed a sigh of relief.

This made Lu Ren even more curious about what she was wary of just now and why she wanted to congratulate Hibari.

Coincidentally, Hibiki Eri asked the same question. After closing the door of the office, Hibiki Eri asked directly: "Why are you congratulating me? Today is not my birthday."

"Today is an important anniversary!"

"Anniversary?"

Seeing that Hibiki Eri looked confused, she really didn't remember it. Mao Lilan felt a little frustrated and had to explain herself, "Mom, today is the anniversary of your first date with Dad."

cough cough cough.

Lu Ren next to him almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

This reason is strong enough...

But the problem is, even if such a day really needs to be commemorated, shouldn't Maori Kogoro take the initiative to come?

What's the point of asking your daughter to send flowers to you?

Lu Ren felt that, given Maori's temper, this matter probably had nothing to do with him. Maori Ran was acting on his own.

that's the truth.

Mao Lilan continued the next moment: "When I was tidying up the bookcase last night, I found a very old photo album. It was full of photos of my parents when they were young."

"Next to each photo, there is a note from my mother. For example, the anniversary of my first cooking, the anniversary of our first quarrel, the anniversary of my father's first great achievement."

Oh, the anniversary of my first cooking (poison).

This day is quite memorable.

Lu Ren had only eaten a meal cooked by Hibiki Eri once, but that one time made him unforgettable.

I still feel scared now.

To be honest, Lu Ren even wanted to commemorate that day.

Commemorate that I successfully survived that night.

Also, Mao Lilan really tried her best and made a lot of efforts to get the old couple back together.

There is just one truth that she may not have understood, or rather, she is unwilling to understand.

Love is a matter between two people and no third party is allowed to interfere.

Even if she is a close relative.

But even so, Kisaragi's cold attitude still surprised Lu Ren.

She did not take the bouquet of roses from Mao Lilan's hand, but walked past her and stood next to Lu Ren.

"I'm sorry, I can't remember those boring anniversaries anymore. And I don't have the mood or time to joke with you about these old and moldy memories today."

This is a bit too harsh...

Mao Lilan, who had successfully mentioned the past of her parents and had a smile on her face again, froze again.

"Don't send me these flowers anymore." Fei Yingli touched Wu Lang in Lu Ren's arms, "This child will eat flowers, and some of the words are poisonous."

"Sorry. Then I'll put these flowers in the bathroom." As she said that, Mao Lilan walked into the living room and began looking for a vase to put the flowers in.

There happened to be an empty vase next to the bookshelf.

"Conan, can you help me get that vase?"

Edogawa Conan responded and just picked up the vase, but Kisaki Eri turned around and took the vase from his hands.

"You can't use this. Forget it, let me do it." Kisaki Eri put the vase back in its place, took the bouquet of roses from Mouri Ran, and turned to walk towards the bathroom.

From the moment that Kisaki Eri and Mao Lilan passed by each other and turned her back to her, the latter's expression quickly became extremely lost.

She was just trying to keep herself together before.

Fortunately, it only lasted for a moment, as if he remembered that Lu Ren was present.

Mao Lilan composed herself and followed Kissing Eri's example, reaching out to touch Lu Ren...Goro in his arms.

The soft touch made her feel better.

"Brother Ren, I'm so sorry. Today is a special day, and mom was wearing something... um. That led me to misunderstand you."

Naturally, Mao Lilan also noticed the change in Kisaki Eri's clothing.

To be honest, anyone who knows Eri Kisaki well would be surprised by her dressing style today.

"It's okay, I understand. I'm actually just as confused as you are. There's a detail you may not have noticed." Lu Ren lowered his voice, "The ring on Lawyer Fei's hand is missing. That should be a wedding ring, right?"

"what?!"

Maori Ranmao stopped touching it and an expression as if the sky was falling suddenly appeared on his face.

"How could this be?"

"It has nothing to do with me. I came here just a few minutes earlier than you. Besides these two things, she was also in a bad mood, as if something was bothering her."

"Why?"

Lu Ren didn't reply. He turned around and looked towards the bathroom. The next moment, Fei Yingli came out of the bathroom.

The heart's warning always comes at the right time.

"It's just right that you're here, Xiaolan. Mr. Lu Ren and I have some business matters to deal with outside, so you stay here for a while and take care of Wulang. Wait for Xiaolu to come back, then you can leave."

"Um...Mom." Mao Lilan hesitated for a while, and finally plucked up the courage to speak, "Can I go with you? I promise not to cause any trouble!"

Hibiki Eri's face darkened visibly, and she sternly scolded him, "Stop messing around!"

"It's okay, it's okay. There's no need to be so serious." Lu Ren smiled to ease the atmosphere and began to speak for Mao Lilan.

"The process of getting in touch with new things is also a process of learning and progress. Lan is already seventeen years old this year, and will soon become an adult. I think it will be beneficial for her future growth if she tries to learn these things now. Don't you agree, Lawyer Fei?"

Facing Lu Ren, Fei Yingli naturally couldn't put on a bad face or speak so harshly. But she still objected to this matter, "This will be too much trouble for you."

"It's okay. In fact, I deal with Lan more often than you, Lawyer Fei. She has always taken good care of me and helped me a lot."

Lu Ren smiled and looked at Mao Lilan, "Don't you think so?"

He has a clear conscience anyway, so if Mao Lilan wants to follow, let her follow.

Also, if Kisaki Eri really encountered some problems.

The presence of family members may make it easier for her to open up.

Anyway, it's better than him being an outsider.

"Brother Ren!"

Edogawa Conan: “!”

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 468 Problem Found

In the law firm of Hime, the person who was now wary and extremely nervous changed from Mouri Ran to Edogawa Conan.

As early as the beginning, Conan actually did not agree with Mao Lilan's action this time. He didn't want to follow along at all, thinking it was really embarrassing.

How can a daughter celebrate her parents’ dating anniversary?

Now, Conan was extremely glad that he had followed.

"I also need to go!"

"Conan, why don't you just not go?"

What’s more interesting is that the person who said this was not Kisaki Eri, but Mouri Ran.

This also made Conan freeze in place. His high morale was poured with a bucket of cold water, and his originally extremely active thoughts were frozen for a while.

Looking at Conan who had stopped thinking and looked dazed, Mao Lilan felt a little sorry and explained, "Goro needs someone to accompany him. Miss Midori is not in the office now."

This time, Hibiki didn't say anything. She knew that the final decision on this matter was in Lu Ren's hands.

You've come to this day too.

Lu Ren was delighted but his face remained expressionless.

"It's okay, don't worry. Xiaolu should be back soon. And..." Lu Ren handed the blue cat to Fei Yingli, "It seems like it wants to go to the toilet."

There was no need to be a bad guy for such a thing, it was nothing more than waiting a little longer. This was what Lu Ren had planned from the beginning.

After all, even if it was made clear that Conan was not allowed to go along, he would still follow secretly on his own.

It would be better to do a favor from the beginning.

"Oh yes, it's almost time for it to go to the toilet." Kisaki Eri returned to the bathroom carrying the blue cat.

"Brother Ren, how did you know this?" Mao Lilan was quite curious about this.

"After all, I have a cat at home."

Lu Ren casually evaded the question. He couldn't say that it was Wanjie who conveyed Blue Cat's somewhat anxious emotions.

However, Hibiki Eri is quite good at raising cats. She can even fix the cat's defecation time at a specific time period.

Thinking of his own free-spirited orange cat, Lu Ren had to admit that Kissinger had put a lot of thought into her cat.

In his own words, it is basically the same as letting the baby run freely. Feeding, cleaning poop and bathing are all done by either Ai or Baymax.

"Well, it will probably take some time for her to come out. This is a good opportunity to think about what happened to her. You probably know more than I do."

"I'll let you know in advance that I won't give you this much time after we officially start working, and you won't be allowed to interfere with her work. If it's not resolved now, you'll have to wait until the work is over to resolve it."

"Uh-huh."

Lu Ren handed the matter over to the young couple.

If it was just Ran Maoli, there would be no hope. Fortunately, Conan Edogawa is here too.

And it was his turn to contribute. After all, this was his mother-in-law, not Lu Ren's.

"Could it be that Mom is having an affair? Is she angry about my dad's philandering?"

"Anyone would be offended by that kind of behavior, but this shouldn't be it."

Don’t say this part is not in the original work.

Even if the plot changes and Kisaki Eri really has such thoughts, the emotion that Lu Ren read through the identification should be anger.

It can't be worry or sadness.

Seeing that Lu Ren ruthlessly denied her speculation, Mao Lilan did not feel embarrassed, but subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Of course, now is far from the time to let our guard down.

Because if it really wasn't because of the affair, then it must be that her mother encountered other difficulties.

As a daughter, she should help her mother solve her problems.

As for what to do specifically...

Mao Lilan looked at Conan expectantly, "Conan, what do you think?"
