"La la la——"

Accompanied by elegant music, two young artists dressed as emcees pushed open the golden door. The camera moved forward from the backstage of the audience, passing by the girl group that became popular in the first half of the year, actors in dresses, veteran hosts, and several comedians with exaggerated expressions... The camera moved from far to near, step by step, and all kinds of faces appeared on the stage one by one.

At this time, singers Minami and Ayaka from the Red Team pointed with their slender hands, and Matsumoto Arina, wearing a purple dress, made a grand appearance with a smile on her face. She threw the flower petals in her hand, and the camera moved up, and the elevator above the stage slowly lowered the three hosts of tonight.

"Mina-san, Sora-ba!"

"Welcome to this year's Red and White Song Battle!"

"Wow—"

There was a sudden burst of applause from the audience below the stage.

In front of the TV, Matsumoto Yuriko seemed to be ignored by the noisy atmosphere, and her mature and beautiful face instantly dropped to freezing point.

"There are vegetables?!"

She turned her head to look at the nanny Xiao Lai who was sitting silent across the dining table.

"Xiao Lai, I shouldn't be dazzled, right?"

That was the daughter that Yuriko Matsumoto had carried for ten months and raised from childhood. With the 150-inch 4K ultra-large screen TV, she could even count every eyelash of Arina Matsumoto.

"Snapped--"

Xiao Lai clapped his hands vigorously and said quickly, "Yes, it seems that she is really a lady!"

"Ma'am, the young lady is on TV!"

She acted as if she couldn't help herself from being happy until she saw the half-smile on Matsumoto Yuriko's face.

"Xiao Lai, aren't you a fan of Youcai?"

"Don't you know that she will participate in the Kohaku Uta Gassen tonight?"

"Um, this..." Xiao Lai shrank his neck and hesitantly explained: "I was afraid that my wife would be angry, so..."

"I'm her mother, why would I be angry?"

Matsumoto Yuriko's smile did not diminish, and she continued to ask, "What song is she going to sing tonight?"

"Isn't it a song praising freedom and mocking me as an irresponsible mother?"

Given her rebellious daughter's personality, although she is smart and outstanding, she likes to act on impulse and it is not impossible that she would write a song specifically to satirize her in front of the national audience.

"Madam, the lady is not a participating singer. She is just an invited guest." Xiao Lai said timidly.

"So you're the guest..." A hint of contempt flashed across Matsumoto Yuriko's beautiful eyes.

The so-called guests are artists specially invited by the organizer to sit in the front row of the audience and usually they are not given many shots.

It seems that her daughter is just a pretty face, and after all this time she hasn't even gotten a chance to become a singer in the competition.

Is it really as Asami Uesugi said, that she is only concerned with theoretical ideas and not practical matters, and wants to put on a good show to satisfy her mother?

"Oh--"

"interesting."

Matsumoto Yuriko had already mastered the trick of "cooking the books", otherwise she wouldn't have been able to evade taxes of billions of yen.

In fact, during this period of time, several former subordinates took the opportunity to wish Matsumoto Yuriko a happy new year and called to complain. Among them were the director of human resources and the director of finance who had been fired before.

Both of them were old employees who had worked in the firm for more than ten years. Matsumoto Arina drove them back to their hometowns with just one sentence. She inevitably had some complaints about the new president in her words. She almost called her daughter Yuriko Matsumoto's daughter blind and incompetent in front of her!

……

Arakawa District, near Fujii's residence.

Shimizu Ai had tears in her eyes. She cried and sipped her seafood soba.

She had finally managed to calm down a little from the anger she felt after being backstabbed by Ona-chan, but when the concert on TV started, a beautifully dressed and gorgeously clothed "wild vixen" who was not in the audience suddenly came close to her and gave her a bright smile.

"Why are you everywhere?!"

Shimizu Ai curled her lips and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes again.

“Wuwuwu…”

"It's not fair. Even the vixen went there!"

"Why are you crying again?" Seeing this, Momonogi Eiko quickly took a tissue and wiped her daughter's tears.

"Woo, woo, woo, mom."

“The soba noodles are so delicious…”

……

Scene at the NHK Performance Hall.

The opening ceremony ended and the artists took their seats.

Amid the eager anticipation of 4,000 live audiences and countless TV viewers, the host announced the theme of this year's concert.

"Mina-san!"

“This year’s theme is – Heart to Heart!”

"..."

Matsumoto Arina pressed down the hem of her purple dress and sat down in the first row of the audience following the host's voice.

This skirt was a Christmas gift from Fujii Itsuki, and it can be used as a "battle suit" to get back at Shimizu Rin!

The corners of her mouth slowly rose up, and as soon as she sat down, she turned her head impatiently and began to look for the seats of Fujii Itsuki and Shimizu Rin in the audience.

"found it!"

On the far left of the fifth row in the middle, a girl with a delicate and cold appearance suddenly came into view.

However, the boy on the girl's right was not the one she expected.

There was a girl with regular features and a gentle complexion, who was quite different from Shimizu Rin, and then there was the handsome face of Fujii Itsuki.

"who is she?"

"Why are you sitting closer than Shimizu Rin?"

Looking at the strange girl who suddenly appeared, Matsumoto Arina raised her eyebrows and a big question mark appeared on her head.

"A passerby?"

"family?"

"Sister, sister?"

……

……

Sorry, it's not that the author is stuck, after all, this is a big plot, there are too many people to connect, it's impossible to just write about Arina and Saki. or2

I will update for you tomorrow! or2

Chapter 360 Darling, I love you (4k5) (Thanks to "Username 43317865")

As if she had noticed her gaze, the girl with delicate features and upright sitting posture on the far left of the fifth row gave her a cold look in return.

Even though she was several meters away, Matsumoto Arina could see the hidden provocation and contempt in her cold eyes.

"This bitch actually dared to come to the scene!"

Pursing her tempting pink lips, Matsumoto Arina's eyes were as fierce as torches, and she wished she could cut Shimizu Rin into pieces.

"Well, you walked into this trap yourself!"

Unlike Shimizu Rin's cold gaze, Ogiwara Saki beside him nodded politely at Matsumoto Arina.

"Shu, that is Ms. Matsumoto from your company, right?"

Turning her head, Ogihara Saki whispered something in Fujii Itsuki's ear.

"She just looked over here, as if she was saying hello to you."

"Saki, ignore her." Fujii Itsuki stared at the stage without blinking, with no intention of paying any attention to Matsumoto Aruna.

"The first show is about to begin."

Shimizu Rin's eyes flickered slightly as she pricked up her ears to secretly listen to the conversation between Fujii Itsuki and Ogiwara Saki.

"Ogiwara-san actually knew that bitch and Fujii were colleagues?"

"Tsk, this is getting more and more interesting..."

Matsumoto Yuina, who was sitting in the first row, glanced at a few people and then looked away.

Because there was an elderly woman sitting on the right side of Fujii Itsuki, Matsumoto Yuina naturally thought that the strangers on both sides of Fujii Itsuki were his family. Otherwise, how to explain why Shimizu Rin, the girlfriend, could only sit at the outermost?

Didn’t get the ticket?

Temporarily swapped positions with someone else?

Fujii Itsuki is the vice president of Matsumoto Entertainment Agency, and anyone can sit freely in the VIP area in the middle of the audience. These two speculations are obviously not true.

"..." Matsumoto Arina didn't pay any attention to Ogihara Saki, the strange girl who suddenly appeared. Her mind was still completely focused on her archenemy Shimizu Rin.

Once she deals with Shimizu Rin, she will have plenty of time to get to know Fujii Itsuki's family!

……

The first song has already begun on the large central stage.

The Red and White Song Contest divides female and male singers into two groups, red and white, and conducts a song competition.

The show is humorous and it is not a traditional serious party. During the intermission, comedians will occasionally sing along with the host and tell a few jokes to make everyone laugh.

"Clap clap-"

Another song ended and the audience burst into thunderous applause.

As if infected by the warm atmosphere, Ogihara Saki's pretty face flushed. She pressed down her warm plaid scarf, raised her fair neck, and put her mouth close to Fujii Itsuki's ear.

"The tree is so lively..."

Amid the noise, her soft voice seemed especially gentle.

"This is my first time attending such a grand occasion."

Fujii Itsuki tilted his head, smelled the faint scent of gardenia mixed with the girl's body fragrance on Ogiwara Saki, and spoke with a faint smile.

"Saki, if you like."

"I'll bring you here every year."

On the far left of the fifth row, listening to the two people's sweet words, Shimizu Rin said nothing, but her expression looked a little jealous.

Watching Fujii Itsuki and Ogiwara Saki being affectionate at home is completely different from the feeling outside.

At home, Qing Shui Lin has the opportunity to cheat, but outside, she can only watch helplessly.

With his long and beautiful eyebrows furrowed, Qing Shui Lin turned his face away, trying not to look over there.

Until I heard Ogihara Saki say, "Shu, you can't just take me with you, there are also Shimizu-san and Ai-chan, let's all come together next year!"

"Shimizu-san..." A girl's gentle voice came from the right, and Shimizu Rin turned her head slightly.

"Let's come and watch the Red and White Song Battle together next year." Ogihara Saki invited with a sweet smile.

"This..." Looking at her sincere and gentle eyes, a hint of hesitation appeared on Qingshui Rin's delicate and cold face. She finally felt the hesitation and struggle of her sister Ai at that time.

"I will think about it."

Ai is Ai, and Rin is Rin. After thinking it over again and again, Qingshui Rin did not give a definite answer.

"What are you still considering?" But Fujii Itsuki had no intention of indulging her at all.

"You and Ai Yi can come if you want, but don't ask me to pick you up at the TV station lobby at short notice!"

"It's okay if you don't answer..." Qing Shui Lin's face was calm and his voice was cold. "That brat and I are thick-skinned and will come to you on our own."

"You two sisters are just a bunch of useless people, right?" Fujii Itsuki raised his eyebrows.

Qing Shui Lin said calmly: "...Yes."

"Tree, Shimizu-san."
