Lan Zeqian raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at Toyama Yoruichi with just the right amount of surprise.
"Is Miss Mingmei going abroad? You didn't mention it earlier."
Her performance was clearly more realistic than his own, Yoruichi Toyama thought.
The impeccable politeness of a wealthy heiress, especially one about to inherit the family business, masks a subtle but powerful pressure.
There was no pretense, because there was no need for it.
She felt from the bottom of her heart that all people were like ants, and that politeness was merely a matter of her upbringing and demeanor.
No wonder she's a top Hollywood actress.
With such poor acting skills, it's definitely difficult to compete.
Fortunately, Akemi was not oblivious. After hearing just one sentence from Yoruichi Toyama, she realized the complexity of her situation.
“Yes, I didn’t have a chance to say it just now,” she replied gently. “Miss Xiaoxi, right? You didn’t ask about my plans beforehand.”
"We've been talking about TV dramas and fashion!"
Just as she had received a hint from Yoruichi Toyama, she also explained the previous situation to Yoruichi Toyama.
The other party had never mentioned the name "Xiaoxi" before.
Otherwise, Akemi, who had been repeatedly warned by Yoruichi Toyama about her identity as "Aizawa Akane," wouldn't be so oblivious as to open the door to a thief.
"TV series and fashion" means that their topics are always safe.
There was no discussion about Akemi's background, or her relatives and friends.
Yoruichi Toyama felt a slight sense of relief.
It's not that Akemi's safety isn't important; it's just that the brewery's focus has always been on Shiho Miyano.
Vermouth, in front of "Ayane Aizawa," believes that Shiho Miyano is dead.
That should have greatly reduced her hatred.
Vermouth's hatred for the Miyano family initially targeted the Miyano couple, but later settled on Shiho Miyano.
Therefore, although it was never explicitly stated, Yoruichi Toyama still believed that it was related to APTX4869.
Mingmei knew nothing about Drug A or the secrets of the winery's higher-ups.
She poses no threat to the distillery or Vermouth herself.
As for Toyama Yoru, who had already recognized that the person in front of him was Miyano Akemi, he had no doubt about Vermouth's eyes.
She herself is a master of disguise, and besides, Akemi did not disguise herself.
Perhaps this is the reason for "talking about fashion"?
Yoruichi Toyama didn't dare to look at Akemi's current expression. He simply took Akemi's hand and pulled her behind him as she stood up.
Fortunately, the hand was warm as usual.
And then gave Yoruichi Toyama a meaningful handshake.
"Very well," thought Yoruichi Toyama. "Then let's face this challenge together."
“My mother sent me a message from England a few days ago, saying that Mei’s mother had some kind of accident, so she has to rush over there immediately.”
Yuanshan Ye fabricated the story without even blinking.
"My flight is tomorrow."
Of course, a normal person wouldn't ask for the flight number and ticket as proof.
So "Lan Zexi" showed a sincere expression of regret, comforted Mingmei for a few words, and did not pursue the matter further.
Yoruichi Toyama knew she didn't believe him.
But I also know that she may not know that she knows she doesn't believe me.
Because he didn't know she was Vermouth, a key member of the distillery.
Then let's just assume that she already believes us.
Yoruichi Toyama sat down and gave Akemi a gentle push.
“I want to drink black tea,” he said in a capricious tone.
Mingmei smiled and agreed, then walked to the counter.
"The only good thing about her is that she can brew good black tea; otherwise, I wouldn't have taken her in."
"You're so annoying!" Mingmei scolded him with a smile.
They've never been this sweet, not even when they're truly in love.
It's quite natural now.
Yoruichi Toyama's brows radiated male vanity. He turned back to look at "Amazing Azur".
"By the way, Miss Akane, how are Mr. Fujishima and Mr. Suo?"
After showing affection, mentioning each other's "harem" carries a clear meaning.
Vermouth revealed that slightly disdainful yet insightful smile that "Lan Zexi" possessed.
"I'd say it's alright."
"Fujishima, in particular, is very busy preparing for the reconstruction of the Deep Blue Hotel, keeping him very occupied."
"Suoh is learning to shoot, and seems dissatisfied with himself because he feels too weak and scholarly."
"So, they're all working hard for Miss Akane, aren't they?" Yoruichi Toyama continued.
You must cherish them!
This kind of "fatherly" label is actually offensive to women.
But "Lan Zexi" smiled knowingly.
"You're still such a busybody!"
His tone was relaxed, as if he were talking to an old friend with whom he had no vested interests.
"But the real reason I came here is to invite you to..."
"A cocktail party?" Yoruichi Toyama quickly interrupted her. "Thank you. But if Akemi isn't home, I have to mind the shop, so I really don't have time."
"It's getting dark. Did Miss Xiaoxi drive here alone? The mountain roads here are not easy to navigate!"
Without waiting for a reply, he stood up and forcefully saw the guest out, while turning his back to Mingmei with an expression that said, "If you sit down any longer, my girlfriend will get jealous."
Lan Zexi smiled understandingly and said goodbye.
Only after the roar of the De Tomaso's engine had completely disappeared did Yoruichi Toyama sit back down and exhale.
Mingmei came over and sat down next to him, supporting his shoulder.
"What do we do now?"
"She definitely recognized me..."
"Although I don't remember, I heard that she saw me when I was little... and that she knew my parents..."
