Tokyo: The Beginning of the Gauze Female Devil

She glanced down at the lilac dress she was wearing, then said to Fujii Itsuki, "I like this dress very much, and you are not allowed to give Shimizu Rin the same one!"

"Remember?"

"Boring..." Fujii Itsuki glanced at her with a smile.

"Do you think I'm a wholesale market and all the gifts I give are of the same style?"

"I'm leaving. See you tomorrow." After waving to Matsumoto Yuina, Fujii Itsuki turned and left the vice president's office.

"Hey, Fujii..."

"Remember to drive slowly and be safe on the road."

Looking at his back gradually disappearing from her sight, Matsumoto Arina rarely used a caring tone.

As the spoiled eldest daughter of the Matsumoto family, Matsumoto Arina lacked love since childhood, so naturally she didn't know how to love. For her, giving Fujii Itsuki a Porsche might be a little easier than saying "be careful on the road" or "keep warm in the cold weather".

"Oh, I see."

Outside the office, the sound of Fujii Itsuki's response seemed to drift away.

……

Standing in the vice president's office on the twelfth floor, Matsumoto Yuina looked through the glass window and watched Fujii Itsuki drive away.

Then she raised her head and looked into the distance.

"After Christmas, it's New Year..."

Following the rapid extension of the gaze, there is the direction of Hokkaido where Matsumoto Yuriko is on vacation.

"I wonder how Xiao Lai is doing?"

"And that annoying woman, does she think I've ruined the firm?"

The corners of Matsumoto Arina's mouth slowly curled up into a playful arc.

"I'm really looking forward to her expression when she sees me and Fujii at the office!"

Thinking of this, Matsumoto Arina took out her cell phone from her pocket and called the nanny Xiao Lai.

……

Otaru, Hokkaido.

“Bang bang——”

The aroma of food filled the air in the kitchen of the Matsumoto family villa. Lai, wearing a light-colored apron, skillfully cut carrots on the chopping board with a kitchen knife in hand.

"Jingle Bell--"

The cell phone in her trouser pocket suddenly rang. She put down the kitchen knife, wiped her hands on her apron, and took out the cell phone from her trouser pocket.

Looking at the incoming caller marked as "Miss" on the screen, Xiao Lai's face lit up with joy and he quickly answered the call.

"Moses Moses, is that Xiao Lai?" The clear and pleasant voice of a girl slowly came out from the microphone.

"Yeah, it's me."

Xiao Lai lowered his voice and secretly glanced in the direction of the chess and card room.

"I saw on the Internet that the young lady appeared on a variety show and released a CD."

"I went to the record store to queue up early this morning!"

"Huh?!" Arina Matsumoto on the other end of the phone looked a little surprised.

"Xiao Lai, you also know that I debuted as an idol?"

"Yes, I saw the news online, saying that in order to save the agency that was on the verge of bankruptcy, the lady resolutely chose to debut as an artist!" Xiao Lai nodded vigorously.

"Does my mother know about this?"

"This..." After hearing what Matsumoto Aruna said, Xiao Lai raised his head and looked at the room deep in the villa.

"bump--"

"North Wind!"

Over in the chess and card room, there was a faint sound of mahjong hitting the table.

"Madam doesn't seem to know yet." Xiao Lai hesitated for a moment and replied softly to Matsumoto Arina.

In fact, given the lady's personality, even if she knew, she would only show disdain and treat it as a joke to mock the young lady.

"That's good……"

"By the way, Xiao Lai, is Hokkaido fun?"

"Besides the frequent snowfall, the scenery is quite beautiful. Miss, you can come over when you are not busy!"

"Didn't mom say when she would return to Tokyo?"

"No, maybe after the New Year..."

"Okay, I get it, Merry Christmas, Lai."

"Merry Chrismas!"

After exchanging blessings with Xiao Lai, Matsumoto Arina hung up the phone and opened the contact information of Minami and Ayaka on Asahi TV.

Last time they treated me and Mami to dinner, and since I have nothing to do anyway, I might as well go back in the evening.

To be honest, Matsumoto Arina likes the variety show "So What If I'm a Little Scheming" very much. It can not only increase her fame, but also allow her to diss Shimizu Rin openly!

Maybe she'll go again in the future.

……

Adachi-ku, Kita-Senju.

The Christmas period is usually the busiest time for bars in Tokyo. As the manager of the "soulbar" bar, Ayako Ogihara usually sleeps until six or seven in the evening, but today she got up early at four in the afternoon.

"Saki, stop shaking..."

Looking through the glass door at the graceful figure busy in the semi-open kitchen, Ayako Ogiwara, who was sitting on the sofa, gently stroked her forehead with her slender hand.

"Mom is almost dizzy."

"It's only four o'clock now. What are you doing?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a girl with long black curly hair, delicate features and a pretty and soft face came out with a plate of chocolates.

"Making chocolate for the tree..."

Putting the mold plate on the coffee table, Ogihara Saki turned her hands behind her back and untied the white apron on her chest.

"Didn't you take a box of Hokkaido chocolates from mom last time and bring it to Shu?"

“I saw that he liked it very much, so I wanted to try to make it myself.”

"If he likes stars, would you go up to the sky and pick one for him?" Ogiwara Ayako held her chest with both hands, her two slender and round thighs crossed together, and her charming face was mixed with a little jealousy.

The little cotton-padded jacket is getting more and more leaky, and my heart is completely devoted to that brat!

She is a mother, and she just woke up and didn't even have enough wind to drink, but that little bastard could eat the chocolate made by her daughter!

Automatically ignoring her mother's scolding, Ogihara Saki took out two pieces of solidified heart-shaped chocolate from the mold plate, handed one to Ogihara Ayako, and put the other into her mouth and took a small bite.

"Mom, try it and see how it tastes."

"No need to taste it, it must be bitter..." Ogiwara Ayako raised her eyelids but did not reach out to take it.

"No, it tastes very sweet to me." Ogihara Saki replied softly while chewing the soft dark chocolate.

"That's because your taste buds are no longer named Ogiwara, but Fujii!"

Ogihara Ayako glanced at her daughter Ogihara Saki with annoyance.

However, perhaps because she was hungry, she finally took the heart-shaped chocolate and took a bite.

"Well, the craftsmanship is good, and it is indeed very sweet..."

After eating a whole piece of chocolate, Ayako Ogiwara wiped her slender hands with a tissue, prepared to pack up and take a taxi to Shinjuku to work.

Having worked as a bar manager in Tokyo for so many years, in addition to her monthly basic salary, she also received commissions from drinks and year-end sales dividends. Over the years, Ayako Ogihara has saved a lot of money in her bank account. Otherwise, she would not have been able to buy a single-family house in such a good location as Kita-Senju.

I have a house, but I still don’t have a car.

In fact, Ayako Ogiwara has a driver's license, but the reason she has been delaying buying a car is because of work. She drinks one or two cocktails in the bar every day.

Drunk driving is a serious criminal offense in Japan. And Ogihara Ayako doesn't want to hire a designated driver every day, because the money she pays for the designated driver is enough for her to pay for taxi fares.

However, if she decides to buy a car now, she won't drive it herself for the time being, but can give it to her daughter Ogihara Saki first!

It is winter vacation now, and Ogihara Saki has plenty of time. In the afternoon, she can ask her to drive her from Adachi to Shinjuku. It doesn't have to be to the door of the bar. It's just a few hundred meters away, and she can just walk there.

Thinking of this, Ogihara Ayako put down her crossed legs and asked Ogihara Saki in a negotiating tone: "Saki, our garage has been empty since we bought the house. Do you want to buy a car?"

"...Mom wants to buy a car?" After closing the chocolate mold box, Ogihara Saki looked up at her mother Ogihara Ayako.

"Yes, I'm considering it." Ogiwara Ayako nodded slightly.

“What car to buy?”

"This..." Ayako Ogiwara paused for a moment.

If a woman of her age is super wealthy, she would definitely choose Rolls-Royce or Bentley. If she likes good-looking cars, she would choose Maserati and Porsche.

Although the money in Ayako Ogiwara's bank account is enough for her retirement in the future, she is far from being called a wealthy woman. At most, she has some spare money.

"I think it's an entry-level BMW. I need to find some time to go to the car dealership to check it out."

"Saki, we better get on the same page, because I'm probably going to let you drive the car more often and let you take me to work."

"Is that so..." Ogihara Saki pondered for a moment, then a bright smile appeared on her pretty face.

"Why not just buy one for Shu and let him pick up mom from get off work?"

"Huh?!" When Ayako Ogiwara heard these words from her daughter's mouth, the veins on her forehead couldn't help but jump.

"Saki, are you stupid for being a mother?"

"You bought him a car just to let him pick me up from get off work, right?"

It's okay that your little cotton-padded jacket has holes and is leaking air, but you've even extended your elbow from Ogiwara's house to Fujii's house!

"Mom, you take a taxi to and from get off work every day, but Shu still takes the subway."

Ogihara Saki spoke in a gentle tone, appealing to people's emotions and reasoning.

"Not only do I have to be exposed to the sun and wind every day, but it's also very cold in winter and I have to get up early to catch the subway."

"Mom doesn't drive herself anyway, so why not buy one for the tree?"

As she spoke, she sat down next to Ogiwara Ayako.

Since childhood, Ogihara Saki has always been very afraid of her strict mother, Ogihara Ayako. This situation has only begun to ease since she established a romantic relationship with Fujii Itsuki and was determined to change her cowardly self.

"Please~" She smiled and gently shook her mother Ayako Ogiwara's arm.

In order to ask for a car for Fujii Itsuki, this was the first time that Ogihara Saki acted like a spoiled child to Ogihara Ayako.

"Alright, alright!" Ogiwara Ayako's heart softened and she slightly turned her pretty face to the other side.

As a mother, this was the first time she saw her daughter Saki trying to please her like this.

"I really can't stand you..."

"Let's call him home after the New Year to discuss it."

"Yeah, thank you, mom!" Seeing that her mother finally showed signs of giving in, Ogihara Saki narrowed her beautiful eyes and couldn't help but hug her arms tighter.

"do not……"

"I don't deserve your thanks!" Ogihara Ayako glared at her daughter Ogihara Saki in annoyance.

"You want a car this time, but next time you want me to buy you two a wedding house?"

"Why don't I just..."

Before he could even utter a word of complaint, two car horns suddenly honked outside the door.

"Dudu-"

"Who?"

Ogiwara Ayako frowned, tilted her fair and delicate neck, and looked outside from the balcony in the direction of the sound.
