But what followed was the joy that welled up in my heart.
Because the mother of her lover has accepted her, this is great news for a girl who really wants to be with him until the end.
"Let's have dinner together as a family tonight." Kudo Yukiko looked at Xiaolan and asked kindly, "Is there anything Ran-chan likes to eat?"
"I'm fine with either." Xiaolan said, "I just arrived in London and I don't know what to eat. Aunt Yukiko, you can choose."
"Well, let's go to the restaurant Yusaku and I often go to."
Upon hearing this, Kudo Yukiko decided on a restaurant for the evening: "That place is quite delicious, I'm sure you'll like it, Ran-chan."
"Then I'll make a reservation now and see if there are any seats left. If not, let's go to another restaurant." Kudo Yusaku saw his wife nod, took out his cell phone and walked aside to make a call.
When the topic ended, there was a moment of silence in the air. Before Yukiko could find a topic to talk about, Kudo Shinichi, who had been silent and had little presence while the two women were talking, spoke at the right time.
"Mom, I have something to ask you." Kudo Shinichi looked at his mother's puzzled expression and said, "Have you discovered us a long time ago?"
"Huh?"
Kudo Yukiko, who had been prepared for this, immediately expressed surprise and confusion when she heard her son's sudden question with her superb acting skills: "What do you mean? Dad and I were sitting here before!"
"Sure enough, the people following behind us just now were you!?"
Kudo Shinichi looked at his dramatic mother and said, "Stop pretending. Although you reacted quickly, your reaction in that moment has already exposed that you were acting.
All those micro-expressions I learned weren’t for nothing.”
"What!"
Upon hearing this, Kudo Yukiko's face drooped as if she had lost her parents: "How boring, Arata-chan is not cute at all!"
"Why is it my fault?"
Kudo Shinichi said helplessly: "I'm just checking for safety. After all, you were following us before, and I thought there were people with ulterior motives planning something bad."
"I've already told your mother not to do this, but she just won't stop." Kudo Yusaku put away his phone and walked back, looking at his son with a helpless smile.
"But uncle, aunt, how did you know we were in Green Park?" Xiaolan asked with a puzzled look on her face, "We obviously didn't know each other was in London before."
"Of course, he must have run into Detective Tang Ze while handling the bomb case."
Kudo Shinichi said firmly, "After confirming that it was Detective Karasawa who solved the case before Dad, Mom told me the reason why they were here."
"Okay, you kid are actually playing tricks when talking to your mother." Kudo Yukiko was furious when she heard this, and she squeezed Kudo Shinichi's face into a pig face with her hands.
"I told you that you would definitely be seen through." Kudo Yusaku said helplessly from the side.
"When did you say that?!"
Kudo Yukiko glared at Kudo Yusaku unhappily and said, "You had foreseen this and were just waiting to see me make a fool of myself!
You two are so smart, you bully a weak woman like me~"
'But even if I say it, I won't get any good results...' Kudo Yusaku was complaining in his heart, but seeing his wife acting like a drama queen, he quickly spoke to comfort her.
"No, how could that be." Kudo Yusaku consoled him and quickly changed the subject: "Okay, okay, let's go, let's go eat."
"Yeah, yeah!" Kudo Shinichi also quickly agreed: "Let's go quickly, I was just discussing with Xiaolan where to eat. I'm starving after playing all day."
"Hmph!" When Kudo Yukiko heard the father and son begging for mercy, she snorted and let the father and son go.
This is not a disparagement, but a compliment. The main reason is that both of them are so smart. You feel like you are just having an ordinary chat, but then they can get the information you want to know.
In this situation, ordinary person Kudo Yukiko looks like a fool.
The reason why Yukiko Kudo can easily handle these two in this situation is not because of her brain, but because of her acting skills.
After all, she is very self-aware and will not use her own weaknesses to touch their strengths, but will use her strengths to touch their strengths.
As long as you act well, even if the other two know that you are pretending, they will have to admit their mistakes and surrender, just like what happened this time.
Her own son set a trap for her to test her, and when she realized what was happening, she started to act like a dramatic actress, causing her son to beg for mercy.
Then he started to complain about Kudo Yusaku, causing the other party to beg for mercy.
After suppressing the father and son, Kudo Yukiko pulled Xiaolan forward with a refreshed spirit, leaving the Kudo father and son looking at each other with bitter smiles.
But this is how their family gets along, and the two of them are used to it. There is nothing wrong with giving in to this lively mother/daughter-in-law.
At least both father and son like this kind of family atmosphere.
Seeing Kudo Yukiko pulling Xiaolan to the front to talk in private, the father and son looked at each other, tacitly kept their distance and followed.
It was obvious that the two women in front were whispering to each other, and it would be a bit unromantic for them to move closer.
But this distance is just right, after all, Kudo Shinichi also has something to say to his father.
"Dad, I need your help with something." Kudo Shinichi waved his hand to signal Kudo Yusaku to listen over.
