She looked timid, as if she was hiding some unknown secret deep in her heart.

Mao Li raised his eyebrows slightly, he noticed something unusual.

Katagiri Kaede does not look like those confident daughters of wealthy families. Instead, she looks more like a Cinderella who was suddenly drawn into the world of the wealthy and seems out of tune with the surrounding environment.

"I'm afraid there's some hidden story behind this..."

……

When Morizono Yurie saw the elegant Maori standing beside her, her eyes suddenly lit up.

She strode up, not hiding her excitement at all, and directly took Maori's arm, her eyes full of amusement.

"Oh, isn't this the famous detective Mr. Maori?"

Baihe Jiang narrowed her eyes and raised a charming smile, "Sure enough, he is even more handsome in person than in the photo!"

She was sweet, bold, and even unashamedly leaned against Maori.

"Would you like to come to my room tonight? I'm really looking forward to it!"

Baihejiang's voice was charming, but her eyes were serious. "Don't worry, I'm still a virgin. I want to dedicate myself to a handsome man~"

This straightforward and bold confession stunned everyone around.

As expected, a woman who has lived in a foreign country for many years is open-minded and unrestrained.

Mao Li was slightly stunned, but then he smiled, raised his eyebrows, and naturally put his arms around Lily Jiang's plump waist, with a teasing smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Then you have to leave the door open for me tonight~"

Maori teased, with a hint of impropriety in his eyes.

"Of course, I will take a shower and wait for Mr. Maori in bed~"

Lily Jiang said with a smile, and the two of them almost kissed each other.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming more ambiguous, Toyama Kazuha and Xiaolan rushed up at the same time and pulled Maori away from Yurie with displeasure on their faces.

Xiaolan glared at Maori with a reproachful look, while Toyama Kazuha curled her lips in jealousy for some reason.

"Dad! That's enough!"

Xiaolan pouted. Although she knew that her father was a playboy, she just couldn't stand seeing her father hugging and kissing other women.

Seeing this, Baihejiang looked nonchalant. She smiled and blew Maoli a kiss, then twisted her slender waist and walked into the villa lightly.

Her back is elegant and charming, leaving behind waves of light fragrance.

Butler Shigematsu sighed helplessly, nodded politely to everyone, and then led them into the villa.

In the villa, the magnificent decoration of the Moriyuan family is in full view.

A huge crystal chandelier hangs in the center of the ceiling, and the soft light falls on the magnificent furniture, making it look particularly luxurious.

As Maori and his companions entered the hall, they saw an elderly man walking towards them slowly but firmly with a cane.

Chapter 285: The Nasty Chrysanthemum Man

"Ah, Mr. Maori! It's a great honor to have you here!"

The man's voice was hoarse but full of gratitude.

He limped closer. Although his face was old, his eyes were unusually clear, revealing shrewdness and majesty.

"Master Moriyuan, you are too polite."

Mao Li smiled in response, glancing at Morizono Mikio's legs.

Judging from the results of sensory feedback, there was indeed something wrong with Morizono Mikio's legs.

Mikio Morizono walked up to Mori, stopped, looked up at the famous detective, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of satisfaction.

"Haha, it's just as the rumors say. Mr. Maori is not only a famous detective, but also very elegant. Come, sit inside. We have prepared some light wine and snacks for you as a token of our appreciation."

"Please Mr. Maori and everyone else please move to the restaurant. Dinner is ready."

Butler Shigematsu added respectfully.

Mao Li nodded, looked at everyone with a smile, and then, led by Morizono Mikio, the group walked towards the restaurant.

……

Exquisite tableware and porcelain were laid out on the long dining table, and the servants served each guest in an orderly manner with impeccable etiquette.

Maori sat at his seat with a familiar smile on his face, completely immersed in this tedious but standard dining process.

He behaved naturally and elegantly, handling every courtesy calmly, obviously accustomed to such scenes.

Xiaolan was also calm and composed. Kisaki Eri had taught her etiquette since she was a child. Facing such a formal occasion, she was at ease and did not feel uncomfortable at all.

Hattori Heiji looked extremely uncomfortable. He held a knife and fork in his hands, but didn't know how to use them correctly.

He was troubled by the complicated etiquette of the dinner, and muttered in dissatisfaction: "It's really troublesome. It's better to be more casual like in Osaka."

But in order not to make a fool of himself in front of Maori, he had to observe Conan's movements and try to keep up with him.

And Toyama and Ye were even more at a loss.

She is usually careless and doesn't pay attention to these rules at all. She seems particularly nervous when faced with the complicated etiquette procedures.

She even accidentally held her knife and fork upside down and fumbled to correct herself.

Mao Li saw it, smiled and said gently to Yuanshan Heye: "Don't be nervous, Heye, take your time, these rules are trivial, just be casual."

"Thank you, Mr. Maori."

Yuanshan Heye looked up gratefully and relaxed a lot.

At this time, Lily Jiang was sitting on the other side of the dining table, still wearing the bright and eye-catching dress, looking very casual.

She didn't care about these complicated etiquettes, drank red wine casually, and said frivolously: "Dad, our family rules really need to be changed. These etiquettes are too complicated. Why is it necessary to be so particular?"

There was a hint of disdain in her tone, and it was obvious that she had no interest in these family traditions.

Katagiri Kaede, who was standing next to Yuri River, seemed a little uneasy, obviously having never experienced such a scene.

When Morizono Mikio heard what Yurijiang said, he laughed out loud, with a bit of pampering and humor in his tone: "Haha, I don't care. Anyway, I won't live for many more years. From now on, the affairs of the Morizono family will be under your control. Whether the rules are followed or not is naturally up to you. But..."

He deliberately prolonged his voice and glanced at the butler Shigematsu beside him, "You have to convince this conservative old guy first."

After hearing this, Butler Shigematsu remained respectful.

He nodded slightly and said to Baihe Jiang: "Miss, although the rules are complicated, they are for the sake of maintaining the dignity of the host family. For the honor of the Moriyuan family, please abide by them appropriately."

Lily Jiang smiled, and didn't seem to intend to follow any rules seriously. She waved her hand casually: "Okay, okay, Uncle Shigematsu, I got it."

At this time, a man dressed frivolously and behaved frivolously walked into the banquet hall uninvited.

He walked in a nonchalant manner and looked around as if everything here had nothing to do with him.

Seeing this person, Morizono Mikio smiled and immediately greeted Maori: "Mr. Maori, let me introduce you, this is my son, Kikuto. He will be the hero of tomorrow's wedding!"

Kikuto nodded casually, his eyes not even staying on Mori for a moment.

He responded perfunctorily: "Ah, nice to meet you."

Then, his gaze quickly turned to Katagiri Kaede, and a greasy smile immediately appeared on his face.

He walked straight to Katagiri Kaede, approached her without hesitation, and whispered tenderly: "Did you have fun today, my honey?"

His voice was sticky, as if carrying an inappropriate intimacy, which made several people present frown.

Katagiri Feng looked unnatural. She nodded reluctantly, as if trying her best to deal with Kikuto's overly intimate attitude. She replied stiffly, "Not bad."

Yuanshan Heye, who was standing nearby, glanced at Kikuto and couldn't help curling his lips. He complained to Xiaolan in a low voice: "'My honey?' This is too disgusting!"

Her tone was full of disgust and disdain.

After hearing this, Xiaolan nodded and answered in a low voice: "Yes, it's really too corny..."

She paused and added thoughtfully, "It would be fine if someone I like said this to me, but if someone I don't like said this, I would definitely punch him."

"That's it!"

Yuanshan Heye nodded in agreement.

Katagiri Kaede's expression became even stiffer. She looked extremely nervous and embarrassed, as if she was forced into a whirlpool from which she could not escape.

She is obviously a Cinderella who has strayed into a wealthy family. Faced with Ju Ren's forced marriage, her face is full of anxiety and powerlessness, as if she will be crushed at any time.

Kikuto was busy showing off his so-called "deep affection", while Katagiri Kaede seemed more and more helpless.

Mao Li looked at the scene and couldn't help but feel doubtful.

He stroked his chin and looked at the engaged couple in front of him.

Perhaps I should help her so that she wouldn't be trapped in this aristocratic life that she was obviously not suited to.

After all, Katagiri Kaede is pretty cute, isn’t she?

……

After the dinner, Morizono Mikio enthusiastically arranged guest rooms in the side building for Maori and his party, preparing for them to stay overnight so that they could attend the wedding tomorrow.

Maori, Xiaolan, Hattori Heiji, Toyama Kazuha and Conan walked out of the restaurant in the main building. The moonlight was like water, quietly falling on the spacious courtyard. They took a leisurely walk in the night, preparing to relax before returning to the side building to rest.

Walking in the quiet courtyard, several people began to talk in low voices, and the topic naturally turned to Katagiri Kaede.

Xiaolan sighed softly, "Ms. Feng looks really pitiful. She must be very nervous about the wedding tomorrow."

Chapter 286: The Grove

Hattori Heiji nodded with a dissatisfied look on his face: "That Kikuto doesn't look reliable. Such a marriage really makes me worry about her."

"Yes, although she is about to marry into a wealthy family, it always feels like she is being forced."

Toyama Kazuha also echoed, frowning slightly, obviously feeling uneasy about Katagiri Kaede's situation.

Just as they were chatting intently, suddenly, the sound of brisk footsteps came from a distance.

Everyone turned around and saw Baihejiang's fiery figure running towards them.

She is bold and relaxed, and exudes an extremely aggressive aura.

"Mr. Mori!"

Lily Jiang had a charming smile on her face. She walked up to Mao Li without hesitation, took his hand, and walked straight towards her room.

She said ambiguously: "I have something to discuss with Mr. Mao Li, please accompany me~"

Before Mao Li could react, Baihejiang pulled him out quickly.

The people nearby were stunned for a moment, and Xiaolan was so angry that her face darkened. She crossed her arms angrily and stomped her feet in annoyance.

"Dad, what a fool! If he didn't want to, with his fighting ability, how could he be dragged away so easily? You big pervert!"

Xiaolan grumbled in dissatisfaction, her heart full of dissatisfaction with Maori.

Yuanshan Heye opened his eyes wide, looked at Baihe Jiang with envy and said, "Miss Baihe Jiang is really bold. She does what she says. She is really courageous."

……

Yurie Jiang did not pull Mao Li into her room, but quietly led him into the grove next to the villa.

The moonlight shines through the gaps in the leaves onto the ground, making the surroundings seem quiet and secretive.

When they reached a secluded place, she suddenly turned around, approached Maori without hesitation, raised her head decisively and kissed him.

Her kiss was crisp and clean, without any hesitation.

Baihejiang's lips were soft and warm, with a faint fragrance that seemed to be mixed with a hint of alcohol, which was intoxicating.

Baihejiang's kiss was powerful, with a sense of control, and she was completely proactive.

Maori was a little surprised at first, but was soon infected by this bold move, and a feeling of refreshment instantly surged in his heart.

He immediately hugged Baihe Jiang, took the initiative and began to kiss her.
