Conan: Becoming the Boss Starting with Winning Over Ran

Page 50

Since two women are already sharing one husband, having another one shouldn't be a problem.

Hmm, I'll discuss it with Sonoko first...

"Okay, Mom." Sonoko Suzuki stuck out her tongue and said cutely, "We're all family, aren't we?"

"You're not allowed to tell anyone at home either!"

"Hi, hi."

Sonoko Suzuki didn't dare to argue anymore; she was the one who needed her help now.

"Then I'll go call Xiaolan first, you two chat first."

Sonoko Suzuki was clearly impatient. She had originally planned to take a roundabout route, but she didn't expect her mother to be so satisfied with Hoshimiya Hajime.

That makes it even simpler.

The thought that she might lose her virginity tonight and experience the wonderful sensation she had fantasized about for so many years made Sonoko Suzuki feel a little hot.

Looking at Xing Gongyu's handsome face, she really didn't want to wait a moment longer and wished that the two of them could go to the room right now for a life-sharing discussion.

The communication between Sonoko and Ran went smoothly, and Ran agreed almost without hesitation.

Ran is the most understanding person, and she knows very well about Sonoko's family situation. She knows that if Hoshimiya Yu doesn't marry into the family, he can't be with Sonoko.

She wasn't completely indifferent to that piece of paper, but she didn't particularly care about it either.

Since my childhood sweetheart and best friend needs it, let's give it to her.

However, Ran was still very happy after hearing about Hoshimiya Hayao's performance from Sonoko.

I plan to give Hoshiguma Yu a proper reward next time we meet.

After finishing her phone call, Sonoko Suzuki excitedly planned to return to the living room to report the good news.

Halfway there, they were stopped by Ayako Suzuki, who had followed them under the pretense of going to the restroom.

"Sonoko, I need to discuss something with you..."

Ayako Suzuki smiled and pulled Sonoko to a corner, whispering something to her.

069 Hoshimiya-kun, have you offended anyone?

Hearing her older sister's plan, Sonoko Suzuki's fair face turned incredibly flushed.

This is so...exciting!

She looked at Ayako Suzuki with admiration.

I never imagined that my usually gentle, quiet, and submissive older sister would harbor such an evil soul.

"Okay, I agree."

The girl's fair face flushed, and she readily agreed.

The two sisters are seven years apart in age, and they used to have a pretty good relationship.

When Sonoko Suzuki was a child, Ayako Suzuki often played with her and took care of her.

As they grew older, they saw each other less and less, each developing their own friends and circles, and gradually became somewhat estranged.

Thinking about Ayako Suzuki's bold plan, Sonoko Suzuki felt that the two sisters would definitely regain their former closeness in the future.

No, it should be that we're even closer than before.

Because, barring any unforeseen circumstances, they will become comrades-in-arms sharing a single thread.

As the saying goes, brothers fight tigers together, and fathers and sons go to war together.

So, if they want to defeat such a powerful evil dragon as Little Feather, they definitely need to work together as sisters.

Even the sisters alone might not be able to manage, so they need more help.

While the Suzuki sisters were whispering and plotting in the corridor, Hoshimiya Hayao and Suzuki Tomoko also became quite familiar with each other.

Suzuki Tomoko was a little unhappy that Hoshimiya Yu refused to marry into the family, but when she thought about how he was keeping his promise, she felt that this young man was really nice.

There's a saying that goes, "The more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more pleasing he becomes."

Tomoko Suzuki is starting to feel that way now.

Of course, Hoshimiya Hagumi's powerful charm played a significant role in this.

Seeing Suzuki Tomoko and Hoshimiya Yu getting closer, Suzuki Shiro, who had always acted as their mascot, also showed a relieved smile.

He didn't think much of it, after all, he had been unable to have sex for almost twenty years and had long forgotten about matters between men and women.

Seeing that his future son-in-law was making his wife happy, he felt a sense of relief.

Once Xing Gongyu officially marries into the family, his life will be much easier.

Being a mascot every day is tiring; Shiro Suzuki would much rather go fishing, travel, see the scenery, and enjoy life.

Once freed from the torment of lust, people tend to become more Zen-like.

Shiro Suzuki is a typical example. He hardly gets involved in anything related to family affairs or raising his daughter, and simply enjoys being a wealthy man.

"Hoshimiya-kun, have you offended anyone recently?"

Suddenly, Tomoko Suzuki looked at Hagumi Hoshimiya and asked.

Hoshigumi Yu looked puzzled and shrugged, indicating that there probably wasn't any.

“No…” Tomoko Suzuki frowned and reminded him, “My subordinates told me today that someone is investigating your information.”

Hoshimiya Yu has come into the Suzuki family's sights, and he will most likely become their future son-in-law. After investigating his information, the Suzuki family naturally took some precautions.

However, Hoshimiya Yu's life experience was too simple, and there was really nothing to hide. Apart from knowing that someone was investigating, the Suzuki family couldn't find any clues about her.

Hoshigumi Yu's eyes twitched; a bad premonition arose within her.

He stroked his chin, deep in thought.

As a conglomerate, the Suzuki family has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles, and Hoshimiya Yu trusts Suzuki Tomoko's words quite a bit.

As for how the Suzuki family knew someone was investigating him...

If he has a daughter, let alone his daughter, even if his older or younger sister has a boyfriend, he will find a way to investigate the background of that person's family for three generations.

Not to mention conglomerates like the Suzuki family.

They will definitely investigate the background of the future heir's partner thoroughly.

Hoshimiya Yu fully understands this point, and is even quite pleased with it.

Come to think of it, he really doesn't have many flaws in his life so far. First, he didn't have the time, and second, it wasn't necessary.

In the past few days, he has done quite a few illegal and disorderly things, but apart from Xiao Lan and a few other girls around him, no one knows about it.

If we're talking about people who have been offended, among the living, it would probably only be Reiko Kuroiwa.

But he should be in the custody of the Metropolitan Police Department right now.

If anything unexpected happens, Inspector Megure will definitely notify him.

After thinking for a long time, Hoshiguma Yu still gently shook her head.

"No, at least not in my recollection."

"I see." Tomoko Suzuki tapped the table lightly with her index finger. "Be careful lately. If you have any problems, you can talk to Sonoko or contact me directly."

After saying that, Suzuki Tomoko gave Hoshimiya Yu her private phone number.

As the chairperson of the Suzuki Group, Tomoko Suzuki's private phone number is known to very few people.

Basically, only family members knew this number, and Hoshimiya Yu was the first outsider to know it.

Besides having a high level of affection for her, Suzuki Tomoko also felt that Hoshimiya Yuya would soon be part of the family.

"Then thank you very much, Mrs. Suzuki."

“We’ll be family soon, so feel free to call me Mom if you don’t mind.” Upon hearing “Mrs. Suzuki,” Tomoko Suzuki instinctively felt a little uncomfortable and blurted out.

As soon as she finished speaking, Suzuki Tomoko felt that it might have been too frivolous, after all, it was their first time meeting.

"Just kidding, you can call me Aunt Pengzi for now."

Xing Gongyu was struggling with his decision when he heard this, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, thank you, Aunt Pengzi."

Hearing Hoshimiya Yu call her name, Suzuki Tomoko smiled instinctively.

Even she herself didn't realize that her mood was constantly changing with Hoshigumi Yu.

If one person's emotional changes are controlled by another, they are not far from being completely ensnared.

Unfortunately, Hoshimiya Yu didn't notice either.

He is still somewhat concerned about the people investigating him, and Suzuki Tomoko, having held a high position for a long time, is very good at hiding her emotional changes.

Even without deliberately hiding it, the changes are much smaller than those of ordinary people.

"Mom, Hoshimiya-sensei, what are you talking about?" Suzuki Sonoko returned to the living room and immediately jumped into Hoshimiya Yu's arms.

She buried her cute face in Hoshiguma's arms, trying to smell his scent, looking like a lovesick woman.

"Sonoko," Tomoko Suzuki said gently, "Even though we're at home, you should still pay attention to your image. Learn from your sister."

Sonoko Suzuki turned to look at her older sister, who was still squinting and wearing a serene smile, and a smile curved her lips.

"Hi~ I'll learn a lot from you, big sister!"

Sonoko Suzuki emphasized the words "good" and "studying," which made Tomoko Suzuki feel helpless again.

She thought Sonoko Suzuki was being sarcastic on purpose, but little did she know that Sonoko was serious; it was just that the place she was studying was different from what she had imagined.

Ayako Suzuki understood the hidden meaning in Sonoko Suzuki's words, placed her hands on her lower abdomen, and bowed slightly to Yu Hoshimiya.

In Japan, this etiquette generally means "please take care of me," and Hoshimiya Yu naturally understood it, having lived in Japan her whole life.

If you can't change your environment, you can only adapt to it.

Just as Hoshimiya Yu was wondering about Suzuki Ayako's behavior, Suzuki Sonoko spoke up, "Mom, Ran has already agreed."

"Well then, Hoshimiya-kun, why don't you stay for dinner tonight? Ayako's here too, so let's have a long-awaited family dinner."

Tomoko Suzuki was not surprised at all; she naturally knew her daughter's only friend since childhood very well.

Shinichi Kudo can only be considered a friend; he only got there because of Ran.

Everyone knows that Sonoko Suzuki and Shinichi Kudo don't get along.

It's not good if you don't understand; Tomoko Suzuki doesn't want her future heir to be surrounded by people with dirty minds and selfish interests.

This is also a major factor in why Sonoko Suzuki only had Ran as a close friend from childhood to adulthood.

Many people initially treated Sonoko Suzuki as a simple friend, but after learning about her true identity, they would almost always develop ill intentions.

If it weren't for the awakening of the system, Xing Gongyu probably wouldn't have been able to avoid this either.

With plenty of time before dinner, Tomoko Suzuki asked Sonoko Suzuki to take Yu Hoshimiya around the manor as a way to familiarize her with the surroundings.

At the same time, it also allows the servants in the manor to get to know the future son-in-law.

Given the bizarre time shifts in the world of Detective Conan, it's uncertain when they'll get engaged, let alone officially marry Sonoko Suzuki and move in with her family.

Hoshiguchi Yu knew this, but he couldn't say it out loud; he didn't want to be sent to a mental hospital.

Fortunately, the Suzuki Estate had beautiful scenery, so we treated it as a spring outing.

"Mom, it's been so long since you've been back. I want to go out for a walk too."

Watching Hoshimiya Yu and Suzuki Sonoko's departing figures, Suzuki Ayako narrowed her eyes and smiled.

"Okay, go ahead. You'll have even less time to come back later."

Ayako Suzuki bowed to her mother and quickened her pace to catch up with Hoshimiya Yu and the other girl.

070 A Flash of Inspiration

Seeing that the younger generation had all left, Suzuki Shiro rubbed his hands together and said with a forced smile, "Ayako, I want to go fishing, what do you think..."

"Go on, don't forget dinner."
