Yuriko Matsumoto made a "tsk" sound, her mature and beautiful face full of irony.

Having lost 120 million yen in less than two weeks, even Yuriko Matsumoto, who came from a wealthy family, couldn't help but feel the pain.

Fortunately, the money lost was all my daughter’s own pocket money.

"Did you think she could stir up some trouble by risking everything?"

"It turned out to be just a small splash..."

Yuriko Matsumoto was talking to herself, her eyes moving away from the report on her cell phone screen to the live-in nanny, Koyashi, who was standing opposite her.

When Xiao Lai noticed Yuriko Matsumoto's gaze, he shuddered immediately.

She didn't dare to agree with the lady and criticize her own lady, so she had to lower her head timidly like an ostrich.

"She's really amazing. She was played like a fool by a manager." Matsumoto Yuriko glanced at the phone screen again.

"Ding-dong-"

On the other end of the mobile mailbox, Matsumoto Yuriko's informant Asami Uesugi sent another new message.

"Oh?"

"Fired Minister Yoshida?" A playful arc appeared at the corner of Matsumoto Yuriko's mouth.

"That's still a bit courageous..."

"It's too late to fix the problem."

"Da da da--"

She typed on the keyboard with her two slender white hands and asked Asami Uesugi the question that concerned her most, which was the issue of the shares held by Arina Matsumoto.

"Ding-dong-"

The person on the other end quickly sent a reply to Yuriko Matsumoto.

[The new president has not yet considered selling the firm's shares. ]

"It's good that she still has it. I can list the firm for sale only if the equity is intact."

Matsumoto Yuriko's brows slowly relaxed and she stood up from the sofa in a happy mood.

"Let's not talk about her, Lai, take me to Nishi-Shinjuku."

"I also made an appointment with Mrs. Suzuki and the others to play mahjong."

As she spoke, Matsumoto Yuriko took a step forward with her long legs wrapped in yoga pants, preparing to go back to her room to change clothes and put on some beautiful makeup. It seemed that the failure of her daughter Matsumoto Arina was not as important to her as playing a game of mahjong with her bestie.

"Madam..." Xiao Lai clasped his two slender hands together, hanging in front of his hips, and called softly along with the graceful back of Matsumoto Yuriko.

"What's wrong?" Yuriko Matsumoto stopped and turned to look at her.

"Well, I want to ask..." Xiao Lai half lowered his head and said shyly: "Miss, should you be okay now?"

In this family, the person who cares the most about Matsumoto Yurina seems to be not her biological mother Matsumoto Yuriko, but a person from another family. The same is true in reverse.

"Ah--"

"What can happen to her?" Matsumoto Yuriko smiled contemptuously on her beautiful face.

"Secretary Uesugi told me that she still has 80 million yen left."

"When she loses all the 80 million, she will go home quietly..."

"Xiao Lai, I want to change my clothes." Matsumoto Yuriko said a few words nonchalantly and waved her delicate hands to the live-in nanny Xiao Lai.

"Go wait for me in the garage downstairs."

"Yes, ma'am..." Xiao Lai suppressed his worry about the eldest daughter Matsumoto Arina and nodded respectfully in response.

……

"Dudu-"

After driving the Alpha nanny car to take Yuriko Matsumoto to a private mahjong hall in Nishi-Shinjuku, Xiao Lai was not idle either. He drove to the nearest supermarket to purchase food for the Matsumoto family to eat in the next few days.

When it comes to being picky about food, Yuriko Matsumoto and Arina Matsumoto, mother and daughter, are in a rare agreement.

"It doesn't seem fresh..."

Holding a cabbage and picking it up, Xiao Lai whispered to himself.

Matsumoto Yuriko likes to eat vegetable salad with cabbage and purple cabbage, so Xiao Lai gets up early almost every day to go to the nearby supermarket to buy fresh vegetables. Winter like this is no exception.

Of course, Yuriko Matsumoto also thought about paying someone to deliver the ingredients to her home, but as a nanny, Xiao Lai still felt more at ease when she chose the food herself.

"Jingle Bell--"

I put the cabbage down, took two heads of fresh corn and put them into the shopping basket. Suddenly, the phone rang in my cotton coat pocket.

Looking at the contact marked as "Miss" on the mobile phone screen, Xiao Lai's eyes lit up and he quickly answered the call.

"Moshi Moshi, is that Miss?"

The slightly hoarse voice of Arina Matsumoto soon came from the microphone.

"Hey, Xiao Lai..."

"Are you free now?"

"How convenient!" Xiao Lai looked around the supermarket and put the fresh corn back to its original place.

"What's the matter, miss?"

"Nothing, can you drive to the company to pick me up?"

Standing in the president's office on the twelfth floor of Matsumoto Entertainment Building, I looked out at the bustling scenery of half of the port area through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Although she was standing on the top floor of a building, Matsumoto Arina felt as if her thin shoulders were about to be crushed by the building. She felt exhausted from the bottom of her heart.

"Yeah, sure!"

"Please wait a moment, Miss. I will come to pick you up right away!"

"Beep beep..."

……

……

ps, are you playing it dark? I almost got stuck at the level with the big-headed monster...

Alas, I still feel a little dizzy even with motion blur turned off.

Chapter 281: Clear the clouds and see the dawn

By the time I hurriedly drove the nanny car from Nishi-Shinjuku to Akasaka in Minato Ward, more than half an hour had passed.

The weather was not good. It was raining heavily in this already cold winter.

Matsumoto Akasaka Entertainment Building, 12th floor.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

"Miss, it's me..."

I knocked gently on the door of the president's office, and soon Matsumoto Arina's tired voice was heard from inside the room.

"come in."

"Click--" Xiao Lai grasped the door handle and just as he turned it, he saw A4 papers mixed with fragments of ceramic coffee cups all over the floor. It was easy to step on them if you were not careful.

The whole office was in a mess, as if a stray cat had broken in. It was not as tidy as it was when I came in a few days ago.

It was obvious that Matsumoto Arina had just lost her temper.

"Are you okay, Miss?"

Behind the desk in the president's office, Arina Matsumoto, dressed like a professional, did not look high-spirited at all. Her delicate face showed a paleness from overwork, her eyes were red, and there were a few tears at the corners of her eyes.

"It's okay, just a little tired."

"I want to have a good sleep..." Matsumoto Arina rubbed her face with her slender hands, slowly stood up, and walked towards the private bathroom in the office.

"Xiao Lai, wait for me for a moment."

"I'm going to wash my face."

The news of Director Yoshida's dismissal spread throughout the Matsumoto office within the first morning.

For a time, everyone was in panic and the company looked like it was about to go bankrupt at any time.

Yoshida Hajime, the head of the agency department, was fired. The artists who were originally under her management have become suspicious and have probably started planning their own escape routes.

The decline of Matsumoto Office is unstoppable, and all signs indicate that Matsumoto Arina, as the president, can no longer steer the ship.

Standing in front of the bathroom sink and washing her face with warm water, Matsumoto Arina looked at her haggard and confused self in the mirror and didn't know what to do.

She had been working overtime for several days in a row, working tirelessly for the firm, and now she just wanted to have a good rest.

He wiped his face and hands with a dry towel and dragged his exhausted body out of the bathroom.

At the desk, Xiao Lai was bending over and sweeping up the broken pieces of the coffee cup with a broom.

"Stop busying yourself, Xiao Lai."

"The cleaning lady will come up to clean later." Matsumoto Arina said a few words in a hoarse voice, walked past Xiao Lai, and walked into the lounge behind the office.

"Help me pack my things."

"Then give me a ride..."

"Okay, miss." Xiao Lai nodded quickly and put down the broom, followed Matsumoto Arina, and picked up the suitcase in the corner of the lounge.

"Well, Miss..."

As Xiao Lai folded the clothes in the closet neatly and stuffed them into the suitcase, he couldn't help but ask Matsumoto Yuina: "Where are we going?"

"Going home or going back to school?"

She took off her suit jacket and changed into a thick down jacket. Xiao Lai's question seemed to stump Matsumoto Arina, causing her to stop putting on her jacket.

"Yeah, where to?"

Is it Private Sungji Women's University?

Not to mention that her mother, Matsumoto Yuriko, has already helped her to complete the procedures for taking a leave of absence from school. Just based on her current reputation in school and the high popularity of her posts in the forum, when she returns to school, she will only be stared at with uncomfortable looks by her classmates.

"That……"

"Are you going to Matsumoto's house?"

Matsumoto Yurina could imagine her mother Matsumoto Yuriko's face when she mocked her. That elegant woman didn't like to say vulgar words, but she never spared a look of contempt, especially to her own daughter.

As the old president, Yuriko Matsumoto handed over all the shares of the firm to the new president, Arina Matsumoto.

The price is that after failure, your wings will be broken, and you have to come back and be a rich second generation.

Matsumoto Arina seemed to have anticipated her future fate.

She first returned to the private Seishi Women's University to continue her life. After graduation, her mother Matsumoto Yuriko would either arrange a job for her or marry her off once and for all through a family marriage.

My thoughts gradually drifted away and my mood became depressed.

Although Tokyo is big, it seems that there is no place for her to live.

Until Xiao Lai softly suggested: "Miss, why don't you go home?"

"My wife asked me to take her to Nishi-Shinjuku to play mahjong early in the morning."

"I will stay at Mrs. Suzuki's house for lunch at noon, and go shopping and have afternoon tea with a few other ladies in the afternoon."

"The earliest you can be back is 7pm."

She knew that Matsumoto Arina didn't want to meet Matsumoto Yuriko, so she continued, "Besides, the house is so big, and the lady never goes to the lady's room."

"Miss, you can stay as long as you want!"

Hearing what Xiao Lai said, Matsumoto Yuina sighed in her heart, zipped up her down jacket, and whispered: "...Okay, let's go home."

……

The Toyota Alpha nanny car was driving slowly on the streets of Chiyoda District in the rain.

After passing through Akihabara and two more streets, you will arrive at the Ochanomizu high-end residential building where the Matsumoto residence is located.
