Eri Kisaki felt the same way.
You know, she's a renowned lawyer in the legal field, known to everyone. It seems a bit too much for her to be a legal advisor for a dumpling shop that doesn't even exist yet.
Do you really need to be this well-equipped to open a dumpling shop these days?
However, Eri first glanced at Nanami Hanyu, who was waiting quietly to the side with sincere eyes, and then turned her gaze to her daughter, who was looking expectant. She nodded gently.
"Alright, then I'll join you young people in starting a business."
"That's wonderful! Mom, I love you so much!"
Ran cheered excitedly, hugged Eri happily, and gave her a quick kiss.
Now she was even more confident about the success of her dumpling shop.
After all, this contains her hard-earned savings accumulated over the years!
Ran was genuinely worried that relying solely on Sonoko's carefree and unreliable nature would leave her with nothing.
"Let me make this clear first, I'm just a friendly sponsor," Eri Kisaki chuckled, wiping the drool from Ran's kiss on her face as she spoke. "So you don't need to pay me a salary. Just let me know if you need anything from me."
Eri knew very well that her daughter had told her that her daughter had invested in the dumpling shop.
If I take a salary, wouldn't that mean my daughter gets less money?
That's absolutely unacceptable!
She would rather suffer a little loss herself, but her daughter absolutely cannot suffer a loss!
“Since Aunt Eri has said so, we juniors have no choice but to agree!” Yuzuru readily agreed, then added, “However, Aunt Eri must accept our employee benefits!”
"Employee benefits?"
Eri Kisaki glanced at Ran, who was all smiles, and then looked at Kusunoki Hanyu, who had taken out a very strange capsule, with a puzzled expression.
"This is a benefit that every one of our employees receives."
As Yu Shengnan spoke, he lightly pressed the universal capsule, instantly releasing a portion of spiritual rice and a small protective shield ball.
However, what he didn't say was that the employees who received this benefit all had extremely close relationships with him.
"Isn't this a bit too expensive?"
After listening to Ran's explanation of the protective shield's function, Eri was surprised that such high-tech products existed nowadays, but she refused without hesitation, saying, "I appreciate your kindness, but you should take these back with you."
She thought to herself that if her son-in-law received so many expensive gifts, he might easily soften his stance at crucial moments, so she still needed to maintain her authority as a mother-in-law.
"It's just a little gadget, invented by my family, it's not worth much money, Aunt Eri, please accept it!" Yuzuru said sincerely, without explaining to her that it wasn't high technology, but rather extraordinary power.
There's no need for that. Letting Eri know beforehand would actually have a negative impact on my later strategy.
Xiaolan quickly added, "Mom, please accept it. We already have these; they're excellent for protecting your safety."
As an undefeated top lawyer, Eri Kisaki naturally has a large number of enemies.
Those who lost their cases because of her, no one can guarantee that one of them won't suddenly have a brain fart and go offline to seek revenge on Eri Kisaki.
After all, she was separated from her husband, and there was no man at home to protect her.
After hesitating for a moment, Eri Kisaki finally accepted the gift, saying, "Thank you very much, Yuzuru."
She could feel the worry in her daughter Xiaolan's eyes, a concern she couldn't refuse.
Moreover, she did have some concerns about her safety. Although she had spent time and energy practicing martial arts after the separation, many dangerous situations were not so easy to prevent.
Xiaolan finally relaxed after seeing that her mother agreed to accept it.
The three of them sat down together again and chatted happily, discussing everything from everyday life to various situations at work and school. The atmosphere was warm, harmonious, and joyful.
Time passed by, the sun gradually sank in the west, and night slowly fell.
Yuzuru and Ran prepared to leave.
Eri Kisaki saw them off and said, "Take good care of yourselves, and come back to visit often when you have time."
Ran hugged Eri tightly, her voice tinged with a hint of coquettishness: "Okay, Mom, you should take care of yourself too."
Yuzuru smiled and said goodbye to Eri, solemnly promising that he would bring Ran back to visit her often.
Eri nodded slightly, a relieved smile on her lips.
...
Suzuki Estate.
"Sister, sister, sister, are you home?"
As soon as she returned to her luxurious castle, Sonoko couldn't wait to shout upstairs, ready to share her brilliant plan.
She called out several times without getting a response, and just as she was wondering what was going on, a sound came from the kitchen next door.
"Your sister hasn't come back yet because she's helping you with the group's affairs," said Suzuki Tomoko as she slowly walked out, carrying a bowl of spirit rice soup and taking small, elegant sips with a spoon.
"Hehe~" Sonoko was a little embarrassed by these words, as this was indeed her job.
"Is something the matter?" Suzuki Tomoko looked at her daughter's darting eyes and knew she was up to something not so good.
"Um…"
Sonoko thought for a moment, and then a thought suddenly struck her: her older sister was indeed too tired, and it wasn't right to keep bothering her.
