"Ni...Nisan..." She seemed to recall something, her expression fell in an instant, and the twin ponytails behind her head also lost their vitality.
Shimizu Ai took off her brown round-toed school leather shoes at the entrance, and didn't even have time to put on slippers. She walked towards Fujii Itsuki step by step impatiently with soft white stockings wrapped around her feet.
"Nissan, I..." She held a khaki canvas bag in her slender hands and hung it in front of her hips. Her petite body stopped beside Fujii Itsuki, and she opened her pink lips slightly, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
Hearing her clear and hesitant voice, Fujii Itsuki moved his eyes away from the phone, and from bottom to top, he scanned her white over-the-knee socks that slightly tightened her flesh, the absolute area between the socks and the short skirt that was full of girlishness, and the light gray pleated skirt of the school uniform. He kept scanning until he came to Shimizu Ai's cute little face that was handsome and childish, but now full of sadness.
"What's wrong?" Fujii Itsuki's expression remained unchanged.
"I'm sorry..." Shimizu Ai lowered her face, looking like she was about to cry.
"Apologies are useless to me." Fujii Itsuki said calmly as if he had heard nothing.
"But..." He said with a slightly more relaxed tone.
"It's human nature for you to choose to keep it secret for Aunt Momonogi. I can understand that."
"Don't feel too guilty about me."
"Because..." He raised his handsome face.
"I won't show mercy to you either!"
Chapter 140 The Good Show Begins (Thanks to [Chen Zhizhou Who Is Worse Than Death]!)
Hearing Fujii Itsuki's cold voice, Shimizu Ai felt even more uncomfortable, as if her beating heart was stabbed through with a knife.
There was only one thought left in her mind, and that was to rush over now, immediately, hug Fujii Itsuki's body tightly and cry bitterly.
“Onii-chan…”
"Don't be so cold to Ai!"
"What's going on, Ai feels like crying!"
They looked at each other in silence, and before she could open her mouth, Shimizu Ai's eyes were already wet.
She grasped the corner of her school uniform shirt with her slender hands, her body trembling slightly with sadness.
"Click——"
At the same time, the door that had just been closed was opened again from the outside.
The person who walked into Fujii's house this time was a mature woman with a cross-body handbag, a delicate and beautiful face, but she exuded a sense of fatigue and haggardness everywhere.
"Aiyi..." Momonogi Eiko first looked at the girl standing in the middle of the living room.
"And the little tree..." Then he shifted his gaze to the young man sitting on the sofa.
Momonogi Eiko sat in the company all day today, but still couldn't figure out how to bring this up with her two daughters.
If they told the truth, then Shimizu Rin and Shimizu Ai would both be insiders of the misappropriation of family property and the use of stock information for profit, and they might be implicated in legal matters in the future.
But if she made up lies to deceive them, it would make Momonogi Eiko, who was already ashamed and had ruined her daughters' future with her own hands, even more miserable.
Moreover, as long as it is a lie, it will be exposed one day.
"Ai Yi, come here for a moment, Mommy has something to tell you..."
Momonogi Eiko sighed deeply in her heart, and without changing her shoes, she went straight up the stairs to the second floor.
"Beep, beep."
Hearing the chaotic footsteps of mid-heel shoes on the stairs, Fujii Itsuki withdrew his gaze from Momonogi Eiko and looked at Shimizu Ai opposite him.
"Go ahead, your mother is calling you."
After saying this, he slowly crossed his legs, and waited patiently for the arrival of the last member of the mother-daughter trio, as if the King of Hell was calling his name.
Shimizu Ai pursed her pink lips, looked at Fujii Itsuki reluctantly, then followed her mother Momonogi Eiko up the stairs, looking back every few steps.
"Click——"
After about ten minutes, the sound of the door lock turning came from the other side of the door.
The girl who walked in was not as worried as the previous two. Instead, she calmly took off her casual shoes at the entrance and put her slender feet wrapped in light-colored socks into cotton slippers.
The girl looked calm and reached out to lift the black hair that fell by her ear.
What appeared in front of Fujii Itsuki was a beautiful and cold face, as if it had been carefully carved by God.
She is very tall, about 1.72 meters tall, and when she wears height-increasing shoes she is almost as tall as Fujii Itsuki.
She has a cold and aloof temperament. Even if she stands in a crowd and does nothing, she will still attract attention like a crane among chickens.
The girl was the last of the three Momonogi mother and daughter to arrive - Shimizu Rin.
A cold and arrogant woman who never concealed her disgust for Fujii Itsuki on her face, who had ridiculed him countless times and looked down on him from the bottom of her heart.
In the past, Fujii Itsuki didn't understand where this malice came from, until he read the will, he realized that Shimizu Rin must have realized something, so he tried every means to cover for Momonogi Eiko and drive him out of the Fujii house.
"The message I received was that a family meeting was being held at home."
After putting on her slippers, Qing Shui Lin glanced at Fujii Itsuki and said, "Why are you here too?"
The rejection and indifference in her tone were almost overflowing, and she almost pointed at Fujii Itsuki's nose and cursed: Trash like you better get out of my house as soon as possible.
Fujii Itsuki was not angry at all when he heard this. Instead, he said jokingly, as if he was watching a grasshopper jumping in autumn: "It's very simple, because this is my home, and you are the outsider."
As he said this, he stood up from the sofa with a swagger.
Seeing this, Qing Shui Lin subconsciously took two steps back and pressed his calves against the shoe box at the entrance.
There was a hint of anger and fear in her eyes.
When Qing Shui Lin thought about how Fujii Itsuki pressed her down on the bed and humiliated her that day by brute force, the disgust in her heart became uncontrollable.
"Where are mom and Ai?"
"I'm warning you, if you dare to attack me again, I will call the police and have you arrested immediately!"
She said as she pulled her cell phone out of her pocket.
"Heh--" Fujii Itsuki laughed even more brightly, looking at Shimizu Rin's cold face as if he was watching the joke itself.
"Don't worry, Sister Lin. I won't do anything to you."
"After all, I am a good citizen who abides by the law." He said meaningfully, not caring whether Qingshui Rin could understand him or not.
"Auntie Momonogi and Ai are waiting for you upstairs now, come on up."
He did not point out Momonogi Eiko's selfish choice on the spot. Wouldn't it be more interesting if such "good news" was said by Momonogi Eiko herself as a mother?
Fujii Itsuki was looking forward to seeing Shimizu Rin's expression when she learned the news.
"Da da da."
The sound of footsteps made by cotton slippers on the ground came closer and closer. Looking at Shimizu Rin who passed by him and walked towards the stairs, Fujii Itsuki turned his head slightly and glanced at her.
"Sister Lin, I hope you can still maintain this arrogant tone when you talk to me in the future."
Hearing Fujii Itsuki's voice, Qingshui Rin stopped, then frowned and continued walking up the stairs.
"……baffling."
"Because I like to see Sister Lin being so arrogant."
The young man's frivolous voice came from behind again. Qing Shuilin frowned more and more deeply. She couldn't help but turn around and glared at Fujii Itsuki: "...Disgusting!"
She cursed coldly with disgust on her face, then pushed open the door of Momonogi Eiko's bedroom and walked in.
Watching Shimizu Rin's back disappear from his sight, Fujii Itsuki's smile instantly disappeared.
“…The show is about to begin!”
"Ah--"
"Slaves? Three?"
Fujii Itsuki chuckled and went upstairs to his bedroom.
It seemed as if the sound of gears turning could be heard, and everything in Fujii's house began to run smoothly as it did at the beginning.
"Click——"
The door of her mother Momonogi Eiko's bedroom was gently pushed open by Shimizu Rin.
There was silence in the room.
To use an unlucky idiom to describe it is like losing one's parents.
Momonogi Eiko sat on the bed in the bedroom, her hands on her chest, her expression complicated and full of sorrow.
Shimizu Ai was sitting on a chair in front of the dressing table, her slender legs wrapped in white stockings dangling in the air, her little face also showing a sad expression.
"Rin, you're back..." Seeing her eldest daughter coming, Momonogi Eiko finally perked up a little.
"Oune-chan..." Shimizu Ai stood up and sensibly gave her seat to her sister Shimizu Rin.
Chapter 141 Excessive
Feeling the frozen atmosphere in the room, and thinking back to the hesitant tone of her mother Momonogi Eiko when she called her, Shimizu Rin's doubts grew deeper and deeper.
"Hmm..." She said "hmm" lightly and sat on the chair without hesitation.
And Shimizu Ai stood beside her silently.
"Mom, what's the matter that requires you to call me back from Bunkyo District?"
"And..." Shimizu Rin's gaze turned behind the door, towards Fujii Itsuki's room.
"Fujii just said a bunch of inexplicable things to me in the living room. Does that mean it has something to do with him?"
"Ugh--"
Hearing the voice of her eldest daughter, Shimizu Rin, Momonogi Eiko lowered her head and sighed deeply.
Given the other party's intelligence, she was not surprised that he could guess that this matter was related to Fujii Itsuki.
Looking at Shimizu Rin's little daughter, Shimizu Ai, she was absent-mindedly thinking about something at the moment.
"Rin, Ai..." Momonogi Eiko's chest heaved, as if all her strength was suddenly drained away.
Shimizu Rin and Shimizu Ai couldn't help but look at her.
"Although I don't want to tell you at this time and add pressure to you."
"but……"
Stretching out her slender hands to cover her cheeks, there was a hint of struggle in Momonogi Eiko's voice.
"Mom... is bankrupt..."
"Huh——" Qingshui Rin's breathing was disordered for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
"It's bad news indeed."
She didn't look panicked at all, her pretty face was as calm as water, and she was thinking calmly in her heart.
"It's just bankruptcy..."
"It's no big deal."
She is an adult now and can definitely share her mother's current pressure.
At most, life will be a little harder in the future. As long as the three of them, mother and daughter, can work together to get through this difficult time, just like they did in Kanagawa Prefecture before.
At the beginning, the living conditions of their family of three were struggling around the average line, but they depended on each other, cared for and understood each other, and still got to where they are today step by step.
Now, it’s just a matter of retracing the old path.
"Bankrupt?!" Shimizu Ai widened her eyes slightly, and then she came back to her senses from the resolute and sad scene in Fujii Itsuki's previous tone.
"Wasn't it discovered that mom was usurping Onii-chan's property?"
"Why did you suddenly become bankrupt?"
Seeing her younger sister Shimizu Ai's surprised reaction, Shimizu Rin, the eldest daughter in the family, immediately calmly comforted her: "Ai, you don't need to worry about these things as a little kid."
"Focus on preparing for the exam, don't get distracted!"
"My mother and I will take care of the rest."
"Mom..." She turned to look at her mother Momonogi Eiko and took the initiative to say, "It's just bankruptcy. There is still a chance of making a comeback in the future. You don't have to be too sad."
