"Well, you know, my skills are the worst among everyone. I want to make a gorgeous comeback when they find me back..."

Ah ha.

Katsuto laughed again.

"That's why I like you so much, Xiao Ai."

Of course, he would not allow misunderstandings to exist.

"That's why Chihaya Aine is so cute. I just like the fact that you get up right where you fall."

232

Chapter 232 Such a family.

Chihaya Aine's home is the typical one that looks ordinary at first glance, but if you look closely, you can see its wealth in many places.

For example, potted plants placed in the living room.

Just a potted plant like this is definitely not cheap.

It was at least several times more expensive than the bonsai that Yusaki Ichigaya was playing with.

The fish tank at the entrance is also of top quality judging by the touch of the glass.

Of course, there is also the Land Rover at the doorstep.

I feel like you have to be at least a senior manager of a company to be able to afford these things.

Shengren is starting to want to pair his LCC Hexer with Aine's Land Rover.

Isn't this much better than a broken car x Land Rover?

The so-called low-key luxury——

That's probably what it feels like.

But, let’s talk about it.

Things like indoor potted plants and fish tanks are very particular, from style to placement.

This is closely linked to a person's fortune and career luck.

Although Shengren doesn't know much about Feng Shui and other things.

But he could feel that Chihaya Aine's home gave people a very comfortable feeling.

Moreover, one can feel that energy is still accumulating continuously.

The Chihaya family can continue to stop time...

Cough, cough, cough...

In short, judging from the situation of Chihaya Aine's family, the family business should have been on the rise.

Katsuto followed Chihaya Aine to her home.

Chihaya Aine's mother also came to the living room to entertain her daughter's friends.

Katsuto, with his eloquence, won the favor of Chihaya Aine's mother as always.

Moreover, after noticing that Katsuto and Chihaya Aine addressed each other as "Kuresu" and "Koai", the housewife laughed so hard that her eyes could not be seen.

Ah, the underlying logic.

Then, the topic shifted to Chihaya Aine.

"Her father and I told her a long time ago that English scores don't mean anything. The most important thing for going to the UK is oral English. What's the result?"

Although they were talking about Chihaya Aine's embarrassing past, Mrs. Chihaya's tone was full of teasing and there was no other emotion.

"I didn't expect that she would escape back alone without saying a word. Oh, it's really embarrassing."

Moreover, Chihaya Aine herself has obviously let it go.

"Mom! Didn't I tell you not to talk about this topic?"

Chihaya Aine was acting coquettishly.

"Hey, Auntie, there's nothing wrong with that, right? After all, only after you try, you'll know how bad you are at it."

"Even Kurezu!"

"But Xiao Ai is amazing in herself for being able to challenge herself in unfamiliar fields."

"Hehe~Praise me a few more times-"

Chihaya Aine also became visibly happy, revealing her signature Tangren smile...

“What’s wrong, Aine…?”

Along with the sound of footsteps coming from the second floor of a house, a man's voice appeared in the living room.

Chihaya Aine's father came down.

“Oh, it’s Aine’s friend… Hey, Ushiromiya-san!”

This middle-aged man with a successful career had his eyes widened when he saw Shengren.

“Mr. Ushiromiya… dear, do you know Aine’s friend?”

"Oh, how could I not know him? He is the heir of our group..."

As Chihaya-san was talking, Katsuto was thinking back.

Thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have indeed met this executive named Chihaya.

Although he is a senior executive, he is actually just a high-level employee of their Ushiromiya Group.

Unlike Uncle Ogi and others who already receive shares, Mr. Chihaya still receives a salary.

Well, these kinds of people are the backbone of a group.

Katsuto stood up and shook hands with Mr. Chihaya.

“Ah, I’m so sorry, Chihaya-san, I didn’t know you were Aine’s father.”

"No, no, no, I should be the one to apologize. I didn't even know you were my daughter's friend..."

"what……"

Chihaya Aine could only stare blankly at the friendly exchanges between her friend and her father, who had always been a straight-laced person in her life.

After the pleasantries.

"Why did Ushiromiya-san suddenly come to visit today?"

"Xiao Ai asked me to teach her guitar."

"Xiao, Xiao Ai?"

Chihaya-san was also surprised by this nickname.

"You and my daughter..."

"Ah, there's no need to be like this, Chihaya-san. I'm dating Ai as a friend."

Katsuto gently elbowed Chihaya Aine.

"Xiao Ai, didn't you ask me to teach you guitar? Come on, take me to your room."

"oh oh……"

In fact, it is quite rude to let a girl bring you into the room.

However, compared to asking Chihaya-san to continue to show excessive respect, making Chihaya Aine, him, and Chihaya-san himself feel uncomfortable——

All we can say is choose the lesser of two evils.

(King Crimson!)

The practice time was over soon.

As night fell, Katsuto declined Chihaya's request to stay for dinner and left.

After bidding farewell to Katsuto, when Chihaya Aine returned home...

My parents were looking at me straight.

"What, what are you doing..."

Chihaya Aine is not stupid.

On the contrary, she is actually very shrewd.

She immediately thought of...

I thought of a possibility.

"You and Ushiromiya-san...are good friends?"

Mr. Chihaya asked.

Even his voice sounded a little timid.

"Yes, isn't it..."

Friends always count, but are they good?

she does not know.

"You, you guys..."

"Ah, that's not what I meant..."

Chihaya Aine and Chihaya-san stared at each other, they seemed to be stuck in some strange knot.

Until Mrs. Chihaya spoke.

“Aine, Daddy wants to tell you, don’t think that we want you to stick close to us just because of Ushiromiya-san’s background.”

"Yes, really..."

I have to say, Chihaya Aine did think that this was what her father thought.

“Well, Ushiromiya-san, you also know…”

Although he didn't know how to say it, Chihaya's father still spoke.

"At the beginning of this week, he stood up for his idol... Your mother and I both think that this is an outstanding and responsible act..."

"If you like him and want to date him, Dad and Mom won't stop you..."

Mrs. Chihaya took over the conversation again.

"But mom and dad's words are based on the premise that you have feelings for him."

"This means that……"

"Ah."

Mr. Chihaya seemed to have made up his mind and nodded vigorously.

"Although I think Ushiromiya-san is a trustworthy person, if he takes a fancy to you and wants you to date him, and you don't have any feelings for him..."

Under the gaze of Chihaya Aine.

"You don't need to worry about me. At worst, I'll just lose this job. Your happiness is the most important thing to us."

“Well, dear, you’re right, Aine, just do whatever you want.”

"Dad, mom..."

Chihaya Aine's heart was deeply touched.

In a place that no one noticed, I don’t know if it was an illusion—

The potted plants in the living room seem to be growing more vigorously.

And at the same time.

"Ah, cut."

Wakaba Mutsu, who was playing the guitar quickly, sneezed without any warning.
