The door closed again, and Momonogi Eiko in the living room felt depressed and picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table.
"It's already two o'clock, why hasn't Ai come home yet?"
She never had to worry too much about her smart and outstanding eldest daughter, Shimizu Rin, but she was only worried that her lively and lovely youngest daughter, Shimizu Ai, would be bullied by the Ogiwara Saki family because she was too naive and foolish.
"Ugh--"
Giving up the idea of sending a line message to her little daughter to urge her to go home, Momonogi Eiko looked at the snowflakes fluttering outside the window and sighed deeply.
"Aiyi..."
……
……
"Tomato beef brisket is awesome!!" ( ̄~ ̄) Chew!
"It seems like Sister Saki's cooking skills have improved again."
At the dining table, the atmosphere was lively and the aroma of food filled the air.
Fujii Itsuki, Ogiwara Saki, Ogiwara Ayako, Shimizu Ai, and Matsumoto Arina, a total of five people sat together.
Shimizu Ai scooped a large spoonful of the fragrant tomato beef brisket with a spoon and poured it on the rice. She couldn't wait to take a big bite.
"Eat slowly, Ai-chan."
"It's okay, Saki, she'll be quiet when she chokes."
Standing up and filling the empty glass with orange juice, Ogihara Saki first handed a glass to Shimizu Ai, whose cheeks were bulging, and then handed them to Fujii Itsuki and Matsumoto Arina.
"Sorry for the trouble, Saki-chan." With a bright smile on her pretty face, Matsumoto Arina put down her chopsticks and politely stretched out her hands to take the cup.
"You're welcome." Ogihara Saki nodded slightly and immediately poured another glass for Ogihara Ayako.
"By the way, Mom, your body..." She hesitated while holding the half-full cup.
"It doesn't hurt anymore, Saki." Ogiwara Ayako replied to her daughter indifferently.
She had already drunk the hot cocoa, so she didn't need a glass of juice.
"Saki, Aunt Ayako, Ai, and Arina..."
Raising a glass of sweet orange juice, Fujii Itsuki, the host of the dinner, said to liven up the atmosphere: "Happy New Year, cheers!"
Hearing this, the four girls raised their glasses and clinked them together.
"Happy New Year!"
"cheers."
"cheers!"
"..."
"Bang——!"
The orange juice swayed in the glass, and accompanied by the sound of the glasses colliding, the dinner on the first day of the new year officially began.
Seeing how happily Shimizu Ai was eating, Matsumoto Arina also scooped a spoonful of tomato beef brisket from the plate and put it on the rice.
Since we were inviting Matsumoto Arina to dinner at the Ogiwara family's house, there were separate meals on the table and everyone ate their own meals without disturbing each other.
In fact, since Japan was completely westernized, most families have adopted the system of separate dining. It was because of Fujii Itsuki that Fujii's family gradually got used to eating together.
Picking up the chopsticks again, Matsumoto Arina picked up a piece of beef covered with rich soup and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it carefully.
"Um?!"
The sweet and sour taste of tomatoes is appetizing, and the perfect combination of the soft and tender texture of beef makes it delicious. The more you chew it, the more you want to eat it.
Her beautiful eyes couldn't help but light up.
"It's really delicious!"
"It seems to be a little more delicious than what Xiao Lai made!"
You know, her live-in nanny, Xiao Lai, has received systematic cooking training!
The other party joined the Matsumoto family after graduating from a vocational school at the age of eighteen or nineteen. Her salary has increased year by year over the years, and she has firmly secured the position of live-in nanny. In addition to her good looks, dexterity, diligence and obedience, the most important thing is that she is a good cook and is proficient in Japanese, French, Chinese and other international cuisines.
If Ogihara Saki could also cook Western food, she might be able to surpass Xiao Lai in all aspects of cooking skills.
"Could it be that……"
Matsumoto Arina took a small bite of the side dish and put it in the corner of her mouth, thinking while chewing.
"Is this the problem?"
"Fujii prefers women who cook delicious food?"
Looking up, she glanced at the pretty and gentle girl opposite her who poured another glass of orange juice for Fujii Itsuki. Miss Matsumoto suddenly felt a sour taste in her mouth, as if she had eaten a whole lemon.
“I can cook, too!”
“I can learn to make delicious food too!”
Of course……
She knew that delicious cooking was just the icing on the cake, and there must be many other things about Ogihara Saki that attracted Fujii Itsuki.
“It’s really delicious!”
Holding the bowl of rice, Matsumoto Arina raised her voice and deliberately praised: "Saki-chan can definitely be an executive chef in a five-star hotel!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Ms. Matsumoto."
"As long as it suits your taste..." Ogihara Saki responded modestly, putting down her chopsticks.
"By the way, Fujii." Matsumoto Arina changed the subject and asked Fujii Itsuki, "Isn't the company planning to shoot a TV series recently?"
"Well, what's wrong?" While chewing a piece of crispy fried pork chop, Fujii Itsuki asked Matsumoto Arina.
"Why are you talking about business during a nice dinner?"
Matsumoto Arina did not answer him, but turned to look at the mother and daughter Ogihara Ayako and Ogihara Saki.
"Saki-chan, Aunt Ogiwara, would you consider coming over to make a cameo appearance?" she said to the two of them in a joking tone.
That's right...
Miss Matsumoto is just trying to show her goodwill to the mother and daughter!
Her love rival changed from Shimizu Rin to Ogihara Saki overnight. She didn't have any time to adapt and she didn't even know Ogihara Saki at all.
Know thyself, ever-victorious.
Therefore, her purpose of coming here today was to make friends with Ogihara Saki, and then gradually become good friends with her.
It sounds a bit like the "scheming green tea" girl who steals other people's boyfriends, but there is nothing she can do about it, because Miss Matsumoto is a beautiful bad woman.
At worst, after she gets Fujii Itsuki in her hands, she can just use a few million to get rid of Ogiwara Saki just like she did to Asada Futaba.
"Guest role?"
Hearing this, not only Ogiwara Ayako and Ogiwara Saki, but even Shimizu Ai looked over curiously, obviously very interested.
"I'm sorry, Ai-chan."
Matsumoto Arina clasped her hands together and smiled happily in her heart.
"There is no suitable role for you in the script at the moment. Maybe next time."
"whispering sound--!"
"No need, Ai still has to take the exam." After sighing in her heart, Shimizu Ai acted as if she didn't care.
"It seems interesting..." Holding the bowl and chopsticks, Ogiwara Ayako thought for a moment.
However, she will be busy again after the New Year holiday and probably won't have time.
"It's really interesting." Putting down his chopsticks, Fujii Itsuki echoed.
"It's a medical suspense drama. Aunt Ayako will just be in charge of playing the corpse in the coffin."
"Ah, a corpse?" As soon as these words came out, Ogiwara Ayako immediately frowned her beautiful brows.
"Forget it. Auntie didn't have any dream of becoming a star when she was young. Let's leave the opportunity to Xiao Aiyi."
Shimizu Ai didn't want to put her face in front of Matsumoto Yuina's cold butt, so she crossed her arms and refused in a clear voice: "...No!"
"Baaaaaaaa!"
This action was so funny and cute that Fujii Itsuki, Ogihara Saki, and Ogihara Ayako couldn't help but laugh.
Only Matsumoto Arina raised her eyebrows slightly in confusion.
"A medical suspense drama?"
"Didn't you say the script hasn't been written yet?"
……
Halfway through the meal, the five-person group was chatting and laughing. Matsumoto Arina was trying to win the favor of Ogiwara mother and daughter, while Fujii Itsuki and Shimizu Ai were concentrating on eating and occasionally saying a few words. The atmosphere reached a delicate balance.
"Ding-dong-"
At this moment, the doorbell rang slightly, and the team leader who was trying to disrupt the balance came.
……
……
Chapter 372 Medicinal Porridge
"Ding-dong-"
The doorbell rang again. Shimizu Ai, who was sitting closest, stuffed a scallion beef meatball into her mouth, stood up and walked towards the door while chewing.
"Ai Yi, go open the door."
Walking behind the door, Shimizu Ai called out incoherently and turned the doorknob.
"Who?"
"Click——"
The door opened, and a cold girl with long black hair, delicate features, and a slim figure, who was so familiar that she couldn't be more familiar, slowly came into view.
"Of course I'm your dearest sister." Putting away the transparent umbrella, the girl opened her pink lips and uttered these words lightly.
Shimizu Ai's clear and beautiful eyes widened as if she had seen a snow girl monster on a snowy day.
"Ou…Oune-chan?!"
"How did you come?"
“It’s over!”
"You're not going after Ai because of that line, are you?"
"Of course I'm here to give you a surprise..." Shimizu Rin said as she raised a fair and delicate hand and directly pinched her sister's tender and cute little face.
"It's only the first day of the new year. How dare you come and ruin other people's time together?"
"Didn't Onei-chan come here by herself?" Shimizu Ai pouted and muttered softly, "Really? It's actually Ai's fault that I didn't invite you to come this morning, right?"
"Boom!"
"Stop talking so much and help me carry it."
Shimizu Rin flicked her finger lightly on her sister's white forehead, handed her the souvenir she was bringing for the visit, then shook off the snowflakes on her umbrella, folded it, and walked into the Ogiwara residence.
"boom--"
As soon as you enter the door, the air becomes warm.
This is the first time that Shimizu Rin has come to Ogiwara Saki's house.
Although it is a two-story single-family house with a garage like Fujii's house, Ogiwara's house occupies only half the area of Fujii's house and has no courtyard.
The second floor is just a loft used to store miscellaneous items and is not suitable for living.
The house is over 100 square meters and has a cozy layout. I heard that Ogiwara comes from a single-parent family and lives with her mother, so the house is more than enough for the mother and daughter.
"Rin, why are you here too?"
