Chapter 9 I'm Afraid My Partner Will Get a Promotion Suddenly

Mei Zuoling seriously suspected that Ximen was being tricked.

But Simon absolutely did not believe that Suzuki Sonoko had such a brain.

Rather than saying it was a deliberate routine, it would be better to say that it was her nature, just like the example Ximen gave when describing the girls from Yingde. It was precisely because those things seemed so commonplace to them that they were open and honest before doing them without any flaws.

He didn't know what kind of talent that young lady had, but judging from her heartless and cold personality, the Suzuki family had, intentionally or unintentionally, trained her too well.

However, Mimasaka Ling still insisted on her own opinion.

So Simon gave him an example: "Have you ever seen someone get seriously angry with an elementary school student and end up challenging him to a duel?"

Mei Zuoling's eyes began to glance at Daomingsi vaguely.

He then asked, "Have you ever seen anyone quarrel with a dog, throw rocks at a monkey at the zoo, or even painstakingly teach a potted plant to eat properly?"

Mei Zuo couldn't help it and wanted to turn around to look at Daomingsi again. There was no special meaning in the look, but Daomingsi suddenly jumped up from the sofa as if his hair had exploded.

"What are you looking at me for? I don't talk to flowers or plants!"

"But Asi had a fight with a cat, didn't he?" Hanazawa Lei yawned and added expressionlessly, "He even got scratched because he was too aggressive. He didn't throw stones at me, but you and a dolphin had a water-splashing contest..."

Daoming Si was furious: "I didn't!"

The remaining three people said in unison: "You have it."

Seeing Daoming Si about to explode in anger, Ximen Soujiro spread his hands and asked Mei Zuo, "Let's not talk about anything else. Just talking about emotional matters, do you think a guy like Ah Si can really deceive me?"

Mei Zuoling was speechless for a moment. He felt that what Ximen said made a lot of sense and he didn't want to refute it at all.

The room was quiet for a short while before Ximen Sojiro's cell phone rang.

The fiancée stuck to her usual way of thinking. Since the engagement was already on the agenda, she had completely separated the two of them. After she finished her coursework, she immediately rushed to the recreational area near the university town. Today she would be in a dessert shop, tomorrow she would be in the library, and the day after tomorrow she would wear a red hat and pretend to be a student's family member. She actually managed to sneak into the sports meeting on campus.

Not only did she go to wait for her "sweetheart", she also happily gave Ximen a live text and picture broadcast of the whole process, in which she focused on showing a set of reference books she had found in the library. She said that the notes on them were detailed and the handwriting was beautiful, and they were even soaked in the fragrance of tea. At the end, she vowed: When I take the college entrance examination, I will break into the library and steal this set of reference books.

Ximen Sojiro wanted to smash the phone, but Suzuki Sonoko refused to cooperate.

She could send dozens of emails a day. If she didn't get a reply after four or five emails, she would become restless and try to guess whether something had happened to Simon. She would then write down her guesses and send them to Simon in the form of an email, with her imagination ranging from a murder for love and revenge to him going to save the world.

When Ximen spoke on the phone, he asked her, "Since you want to share your experience, where is Miss Xiaolan?"

Sonoko replied matter-of-factly, "Ran is preparing for a karate competition. What if she gets annoyed by my excessive emails? What if I interrupt her preparations and she loses?"

"...Do I look like someone with nothing to do?"

"But haven't we always communicated via email?" Suzuki Sonoko lamented. "Mr. Suzuki Sojiro, I once received twelve selfies from you in one day. And now you're impatient just now before we're engaged? What's going to happen to the rest of our lives together?"

After saying that, he pretended to cry twice.

Ximen was stunned by her joke about being a good singer and songwriter, and then he suddenly hung up the phone.

In fact, it’s not that the number of emails has increased, but that his mentality has deteriorated.

According to Ximen Sojiro's original intention, judging from the emotional ability between him and Suzuki alone, he was obviously stronger and she was weaker. Moreover, when it came to marrying into the wife's family, it was understandable that he was the more tolerant party. Even though he was often led astray by her logic during their relationship, Ximen was still an accommodator overall.

But after the showdown - or after Miss Suzuki knocked him out with a straight shot - Ximen realized belatedly that it was precisely because he was sharp and experienced enough that every reaction of the other party, whether good or bad, would directly affect his thoughts and behaviors, and that Miss Suzuki was a perfect example of "a bamboo without a heart cannot be hurt".

Because I know nothing, I know nothing.

More than half a month passed, and it was hard to know what Ximen Sojiro's mentality was, but at least on the surface, it seemed that he was no different from the past. Suzuki Sonoko waited until the college students were on vacation, but still did not go out to look for her lover, and returned home dejectedly.

In fact, from the very beginning, Ximen Sojiro didn't think that she could find a real person through the mosaic.

"Actually, it's not like we didn't find them," she said, slumped down on the sofa. "Aside from the four schools in the university town, during the filming period, several high schools from other counties came here for tours. But it was voluntary, with several schools mixed together, and the school didn't have an accurate list. Once the tour buses left—"

Yuanzi used her finger to indicate a little bird: "He flew away with it."

After the engagement was confirmed, the two moved in together. Ximen Sojiro, who worked tirelessly every day studying and doing homework, lived downstairs, their main activity area being a multimedia studio with three walls lined with books. Suzuki Sonoko, who spent her free time eating, drinking, and playing games, lived upstairs, her main activity area...

She has no main activity area and when she is happy, she never goes home.

By dinner time, Suzuki Sonoko still looked like she couldn't eat. Ximen Sojiro squinted his eyes and looked at her for a long time. He felt that her thoughts were so bizarre that they were incomprehensible. "How could someone who doesn't even know what she looks like be so sad?"

"Of course."

She sighed weakly, "It's like reading a detective novel in its entirety, only to have the last page revealing the murderer's name ripped out. Because I missed it, I can't forget it, and because I can't forget it, I feel an itch growing inside..."

The point is not how good it is, but that it was inexplicably "missed".

"Forget it, I can't stand the itchiness anymore," Suzuki Sonoko stood up and stretched, waving her hand proudly: "I'm going to take a shower to relieve it, and have fun studying!"

Then she went upstairs.

Missed it...

Ximen Sojiro turned the pen in his hand and suddenly let out a long sigh. Ximen didn't know what Hinata Geng was thinking when she left, but she was right. At this age, there are not so many love and hate of life and death. The reason why they can't forget is that most of them ended in vain and didn't even have a result.

There was no way to find out what had happened in the past, but on the eve of her formal engagement with the Suzuki family, things took another miraculous turn.

Ximen Sojiro's elder brother, Mr. Ximen Shengyiro, the next generation heir of the Ximen family, suddenly let himself go for various reasons, left a letter and ran away.

The reason is unknown, the time is unknown, and the destination is unknown.

As for whether or not to come back...

It didn't matter whether he came back or not. The old man of the Ximen family was so angry that his blood pressure soared that he kicked him out of the house.

【You don’t have to come back anymore! 】

So Ximen Sojiro, the second son who would change his surname to Suzuki Sojiro a year later, suddenly became the only son of the Ximen family.

Just like Sonoko who was suddenly hit by the infertility report, Ximen Sojiro suddenly became the heir of the Ximen family after his brother left - he was already an only child, so how could he be considered a son-in-law!

So the engagement had to be annulled.

The course preparations Ximen made for the Suzuki family in the next six months were not in vain. He put them to use as soon as he got home, and there was no glitch in the connection between the upper and lower parts. The Suzuki family, having wasted a year, had to stand at the crossroads of life, once again earnestly looking for a son-in-law.

It's a pity that such an incident happened, but the two families didn't become enemies. When moving the luggage, Suzuki Sonoko leaned against the window and looked at the fallen leaves with a melancholy look. Ximen Sojiro's mind flashed the saying "Ichigo ichie" mentioned by Senkyuuri's disciples in "The Chronicle of Yamagami Soji", and he suddenly felt a subtle sense of humor.

So what's the point of him worrying about it? Not only did the other person not take it to heart at all, but as long as fate played a joke on him, his life would have completely turned in another direction.

For a moment, the room was filled with a different kind of sadness.

Then Suzuki sighed deeply and said in a perfunctory tone, "I'm so sad."

"Um?"

"Nothing," Yuanzi patted his shoulder generously, "Life is unpredictable, I won't blame you."

Before leaving, she looked at Ximen Soujiro's tall and straight back, touched her chest with a very tired look, and murmured to herself: "I just don't know if I will be so lucky in the future, and the next person I meet will be as good-looking as this..."

==========

In a sense, Suzuki Sonoko's luck is indeed very good. Her blind date partners are all more handsome than each other, but as for the results, her luck is very bad. She can never get a result every time. All kinds of natural and man-made disasters come to her at the same time, making it difficult for her to make a decision every time.

Her second blind date was called Jinguji Ren, the third child in the family. According to Uncle Suzuki, even if his eldest brother suddenly ran away from home in pursuit of freedom, he still had his second brother to take care of him, so he would be absolutely safe.

Suzuki Sonoko has reservations about this.

The previous experience of Ximen Sojiro provided Sonoko with a lot of lessons for the future. Although both of them were playboys, Ximen was obviously the carnivorous type who had used real weapons. Compared with him, Jinguji Ren was more of a friend of women than a playboy. Besides being handsome, he was also a bit shocking.

Their only conflict happened when they first met. Jinguji Ren probably had a habit of speaking, and he would always use words like cute little wild cats, and he would call people in a rude way, and he always used the third-person pronoun "LADY". Although it was shocking, he was handsome and had a nice voice, and for a moment, Sonoko didn't think of calling the police to have him arrested.

But then...

Afterwards, she couldn't help but wonder if she was just too lucky. On the eve of her engagement to Ximen Lin, Ximen's brother had run away. Now they had agreed to a quick resolution, and three months later, on the eve of meeting their parents...

Jinguji's father died suddenly of illness!

Suzuki Sonoko stood in front of the mourning hall, prepared herself mentally for a long time but didn't dare to step in. As a result, she didn't feel guilty for a few days, but after the seventh day, the Jinguji family suddenly changed their minds!

The specific operation process involves the bloody past of the Jinguji family. To summarize, old man Jinguji has always suspected that Lian is not his biological daughter, so he has never treated her well. Marrying Lian into Suzuki's family is equivalent to giving her away for free, and he doesn't feel sorry at all.

He didn't like his son, but the eldest brother of the Jinguji family was secretly obsessed with his younger brother. On the day of the memorial service, Lian stood in front of the mourning hall and said to the portrait with an indifferent expression: "It's a pity that he left like this, otherwise I could have let him see that I am still useful."

This is useful, and it refers to selling oneself to get married.

His brother was instantly furious when he heard this. It just so happened that he was the head of the family now, so he decided to protect his younger brother's life.

Protecting your brother's life starts with protecting his marriage.

When the Suzuki family received the news, Jinguji Ren had already entered the idol class of Saotome Academy and was ready to go to school. Sonoko took the stack of signed business agreements between the two families and realized belatedly that her fiancé had actually become an idol!

The author has something to say: The manuscript box was set at the wrong time...

Brother Ximen's escape is a plot in the original novel.

The death of Jinguji's father due to illness is also a plot in the original novel.

When it comes to breaking up, there must always be some natural disaster or man-made misfortune.

This is still a normal accident, and later...

Finally, as usual, please leave a message:-D
