The group discussed it for a long time. Even though it had been proven that Uncle Yifang had the wound they wanted on his leg, they still refused to believe that Uncle Yifang was real.
After all, if he wasn't a fake, they might get a lot less money.
Ultimately, unable to find a reason, they had no choice but to give up for the time being and decided to go have dinner first.
Yuzuru glanced with amusement at the back of Yabuchi Machiko, the stepmother of the Yabuchi family, who was on her way to a wedding party.
People die for wealth, birds die for food.
Another boost of spiritual energy is about to arrive!
"Honestly, it's already a problem for my brother and me to stay here, but you've gone to the trouble of treating us to such a lavish meal!"
Yukiko looked at the steaming hot pot on the table, her face beaming with a smile, and she happily became polite.
"So what? Hot pot tastes better with lots of people!" Hiromi Yabuuchi said with a smile as she added ingredients to the hot pot, glancing at Nanami Hanyu sitting next to Yukiko. "Besides, it's the first time I'm meeting my little brother Hanyu, so of course I, as his older sister, have to treat him well!"
"Hehe...yes!"
Hearing this, Yukiko was annoyed. Why was it that there were always people trying to take her brother away from her?
"Thank you, Hiromi-neechan," Yuzuru said, placing a piece of blanched Wagyu beef into Yukiko's condiment dish to comfort her.
He didn't want it to be like this, but what can he do when the Succubus Body is a passive skill?
While everyone was enjoying their hot pot meal, the door to the room was suddenly opened, and Uncle Yifang appeared in the doorway with his black bodyguard, Carlos.
"Hey, let's have hot pot tonight! That puts my mind at ease!"
"Reassured? What do you mean?" Hiromi Yabuchi's husband, Hidekazu Yabuchi, looked at his uncle Yoshifusa, who was sitting in the main seat, with some confusion upon hearing this.
"Because hot pot is eaten by everyone together, there's no need to worry about someone poisoning it."
After eating a piece of fried tofu soaked in broth, Yu Sheng Nan calmly gave the answer to Uncle Yi Fang.
However, Uncle Yifang was still a little careless. The person who really wanted him dead wasn't at this dinner table right now.
"Yes, that's exactly what I mean!"
Uncle Yifang glanced at Yusheng Nan with some surprise, then sneered at the group of people whose faces were grim.
"Hehe, Uncle Yoshifusa, I think that threatening letter was probably just someone's prank..." Hiromi Yabuuchi said, trying to ease the tension.
"I hope that's true!"
Uncle Yifang made a sarcastic remark without any mercy, and then fell silent, joining everyone in eating hot pot in silence.
For a moment, the only sounds in the room were the bubbling of the hot pot and the sounds of everyone chewing, creating an extremely awkward atmosphere.
The only two who remained unaffected were Yukiko, who only cared about eating, and Kusunoki Hanyu, who remained calm no matter what happened.
Strength is the greatest source of confidence.
…………
Dinner passed in an unpleasant atmosphere.
"How's it going, Yukiko? Is the water temperature right?"
After adding some firewood to the fireplace outside, Hiromi Yabuuchi looked up through the window and asked.
"Hmm! This temperature is just right!" Yukiko, who was inside the room, tested the water temperature and was very satisfied.
Looking at the bathtub in front of him, which was covered with mud and was steaming, Yuzuru couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Ha ha……"
"What are you laughing at?" Yukiko asked him curiously.
Yuzuru suppressed a laugh and replied, "It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered something interesting."
"Oh? What is it? Tell me quickly!" Yukiko pressed.
Yuzuru cleared his throat and said in a serious tone, "Wouldn't you say we're cooking ourselves in an iron pot?"
"Can't you speak properly!" Yukiko frowned, "This is called a neon bath, okay?!"
“Yeah, Yukiko and I used to bathe together all the time when we were little!” Hiromi Yabuuchi poked her head out of the window, smiling at the two of them, and said, “Would you like me to add some more water so you can bathe together?”
"I don't want to!"
Yukiko instantly lost her temper and immediately tried to push Hanyu Nanasu out of the room.
"Haha, really not going to consider it?" Yu Shengnan thought the idea was good, and with a mischievous smile on his face, he chuckled twice.
At the same time, he silently noted down Hiromi Yabuuchi's assist.
That title of "Sister Guangmei" wasn't for nothing. When the will is announced tomorrow, I'll definitely get her a few extra copies.
"Don't even think about it!" Yukiko gritted her teeth, used all her strength to push Hanyu Nanasu out the door, and then slammed the door shut with a loud "bang".
She and her husband have never even showered together before!
Hiromi Yabuuchi had been quietly watching the two of them bickering from the window. When Yukiko closed the door and walked back with a flushed face, she slowly said, "So that's why you didn't bring Yusaku back this time?"
Yukiko paused for a moment, then quickly explained, "Ah? That's not it. Yuzuru is just my younger brother. Yusaku didn't come back because he has work to do; his novel is being adapted into a movie!"
She tried to convince Hiromi Yabuuchi that there was no other special relationship between them.
"I understand! I understand everything!"
Hiromi Yabuuchi rested her chin on her hand, giving Yukiko a knowing look, and winked at her.
She didn't believe a word Yukiko said!
I didn't mention the reason just now, and Yukiko's hasty explanation is clearly an admission of guilt.
Yukiko looked at her friend's meaningful gaze and helplessly rubbed her forehead.
You don't know anything!
I was clearly being threatened!
Seeing that Yukiko was covering her face and not speaking, Hiromi Yabuchi assumed that she was silent because she was embarrassed, so she didn't continue the conversation.
But before leaving, she earnestly advised, "It's true that Yuzuru's younger brother can be quite prone to making mistakes, but Yukiko, you should still be careful not to be too blatant and give Yusaku some face!"
She had no experience with this kind of infidelity, so she really didn't know how to handle it.
But no matter what, she would definitely stand by her childhood friend Yukiko and help her keep the matter a secret, rather than complaining to Yusaku Kudo, whom she had only met a few times.
With such a deep friendship built over many years, Hiromi Yabuuchi said she could tell which was more important.
As for that little bit of moral pressure?
Hmph, what's that!
"Hehehehe..."
Yukiko watched the window being slowly closed, one hand tightly clutching her chest, feeling her blood rushing to her head and her chest feeling extremely tight, as if she were about to vomit blood.
Spicy meatball?!
My lifelong innocence is gone just like that!
