The banquet venue tonight is not far from the Akechi Shrine, and the sunset on the horizon is like a magnificent painting, painting the entire city with a mesmerizing color.
Yuzuru accompanied Kazuha on a stroll through the streets. A gentle breeze caressed Kazuha's hair, and he carefully tucked it behind her ear.
The two walked at a leisurely pace, reaching their destination before the sun had completely set.
"Hmm, Mori Garden Residence, this should be the place."
Kazuha took out her phone from her pocket, carefully looked at the address that Aunt Jinghua had sent her, and then looked up and compared it with the building in front of her. She said with great certainty.
Before me stood a castle-like building, covering a vast area, surrounded by meticulously manicured gardens and lawns.
Its location is not far from the city center, and the fact that it has such a large residence in such a prime location shows that Aunt Jinghua's classmate is no ordinary person.
Just as Kazuha was about to press the doorbell, she suddenly heard a voice behind her asking, "Excuse me, sir and madam, who are you?"
She couldn't help but turn around, and saw a middle-aged man in a sharp suit leading a young woman in a white coat slowly towards her.
“We’ve come here to…” Kazuha was about to answer, but when she saw the faces of the people who came, she couldn’t help but pause slightly. Then she turned to look at Yuusuke beside her. “Hey, Yuusuke, aren’t these the two people we met at Akechi Shrine just now?”
"Yes, it really is them."
Yu Sheng Nan nodded slightly. When he saw the two people just now, he remembered what the plot was.
The foolish young master falls in love with Cinderella at first sight, but Cinderella falls in love with the young master's servant at first sight. She originally wanted to use the excuse of seeing the young master to have a secret rendezvous with the servant, but due to a series of misunderstandings, the unsuspecting butler mistakenly thought that the young master and she were in love, so he tried his best to bring the two together.
What follows is the most melodramatic part of the whole story.
Faced with this situation, Cinderella didn't have the courage to express her true feelings. She became the young master's fiancée without even realizing it, and even had a child with him. But on the eve of the wedding, she still couldn't forget the servant.
How could this young master tolerate? Isn't this bullying a fool?
"Oh, I see. It seems that Lady Hattori asked you to attend this wedding on her behalf."
After a brief conversation, the middle-aged man, having learned the reason for Hanyu Nan and Kazuha's visit, introduced himself with a polite smile: "My name is Shigematsu Akio, and I am the butler of the Morizono family."
As he spoke, he solemnly introduced the young woman beside him, "This is Miss Xiaofeng, who will be marrying Young Master Juren tomorrow."
"Nice to meet you, my name is Katagiri Kaede."
Carrying his bag, Kaede Kaede, who looked preoccupied, nodded to the two of them.
Kazuha quickly smiled and replied, "Butler Shigematsu, Miss Kaede, hello! I am Kazuha Toyama, and this handsome gentleman beside me is my boyfriend, Kusunoki Hanyu."
As she spoke, she naturally took Yuzuru Nan's arm, her eyes brimming with happiness and sweetness, unhesitatingly declaring their intimate relationship to everyone.
"Hello, my name is Yuzuru Hanyu."
Yu Sheng Nan affectionately pinched her slightly flushed cheeks, which were reddened with pride, and nodded slightly to the two of them.
"Haha, Miss Kazuha, Mr. Yuzuru, let's go inside first. The master will be very happy to know that you've come."
Butler Shigematsu laughed politely twice, stepped forward, opened the door, and gestured for them to enter.
Yuzuru was about to follow with Kazuha when suddenly a smile appeared on his lips, and he stopped in his tracks.
He knew it! How could such a dramatic storyline be complete without these two "Grim Reapers"?
One in black and one in white, one tall and one short, two figures jogged up behind them.
Hattori Heiji frowned deeply as he looked at the two people in front of him. "Hanyu Kusunoki, Kazuha, why are you two here!"
Conan, standing to the side, twitched his lips violently a few times.
He secretly groaned to himself, wondering why he kept running into this guy everywhere he went. Was he some kind of persistent ghost?
"Heiji Hattori, how dare you say that!" Kazuha's anger flared up the moment she saw the newcomer, and she shouted, "You stole money from the house and you still dare not go back? Do you know how angry you made Aunt Shizuka? You might as well just wait to die!"
"I……"
After being harshly scolded by Kazuha, Hattori Heiji's expression changed several times. After a long pause, he finally managed to utter, "How can taking my own family's money be called stealing!"
"Then why doesn't Hattori-kun dare to go back?" Yuzuru Nan remained calm and unhurriedly added another sarcastic remark.
"That's because I didn't want to go back!"
Hattori Heiji was so angry that his hands were shaking, but he still stubbornly insisted that he didn't want to reply.
Actually, it wasn't that he didn't want to go home, but that he was afraid to go home.
After learning that he stole the money to help his best friend pay off his debts, Dad has chosen to forgive him.
But Mom isn't so easy to talk to. Dad told me on the phone that Mom sits in the living room every day with a sword, just waiting for him to come back so she can carry out the family discipline and punish him for the greater good.
Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but shiver, and a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Hehe, if you're so capable, go and say that to Aunt Jinghua."
Kazuha sneered, her gaze icy as she looked at Hattori Heiji's selfish, self-serving, and stubbornly unrepentant demeanor. She felt increasingly fortunate that she had seen through his true colors early on and had not been deceived by his appearance.
"Well, I think Aunt Jinghua will definitely forgive Hattori-kun. After all, he's her son. No matter what mistakes he made, she wouldn't betray him out of loyalty." Yu Shengnan said with a faint smile, his words seemingly gentle, but actually adding insult to injury.
The two worked together seamlessly, leaving Hattori Heiji speechless and his face turning bright red.
Conan awkwardly facepalmed, unable to offer any help.
After all, he himself was the culprit who made Hattori Heiji steal money from his family.
"Hey, you wouldn't happen to be Heiji, would you?" Shigematsu, the butler who had been silently watching the drama unfold, stepped in to smooth things over as the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.
Hearing someone call his name, Hattori Heiji grasped at a straw and hurriedly replied, "Yes, Uncle Shigematsu, what are you doing here? And why are those two here?"
Butler Shigematsu was taken aback by his question.
He first looked back and forth between the two groups of people before explaining, "Oh, I see. Heiji, actually, your mother asked Ms. Kazuha to attend this wedding in her place. Didn't you know that?"
