Chapter 242 The righteous father in white mask makes his appearance!
As it got darker, Lu Mingfei and Eri left Meiji Shrine.
Although Meiji Jingu Shrine was not among the tourist attractions that Eri chose, she heard someone on the way say that a wedding was being held there, and the girl remembered the extremely romantic proposal concert hosted by Sakura in her dream.
She had never seen a real wedding, so she changed her schedule and went to Meiji Jingu Shrine to watch it.
Meiji Jingu Shrine is under the jurisdiction of the Japanese imperial family. Those who can get married there must be either rich or noble, and they must have certain connections, otherwise the divine marriage agency managed by the Imperial Household Agency will not accept their wedding commissions.
The wedding held in the shrine is naturally in royal style. The bride and groom are not handsome or beautiful, but with the blessing of costumes and makeup, they are still good-looking.
The guests who could attend the wedding were all dressed in formal attire, either in a suit or a simple kimono. It happened that in the afternoon, when Lu Mingfei took Eri to continue shopping, he gave her a beautiful outfit suitable for shopping.
As a return gift, Eri also picked out a suit for him, and took out a check from somewhere and slapped it on the cashier, acting so domineering like a queen who had plenty of money. Her demeanor scared the experienced receptionist.
So they didn't have to think of anything and just walked in openly. After all, with their looks and temperament, if today's wedding style wasn't Japanese, people would probably think they were the bride and groom.
Lu Mingfei held Eri's hand and stood in an inconspicuous corner, watching the bride and groom in twelve-piece formal attire enter the temple under the guidance of the priest and the shrine maiden, listening to the clergy singing blessings to report the good news of the marriage to the gods and praying for the newlyweds.
Huili held Lu Mingfei's hand and watched the bride and groom drink from three cups, small, medium and large, alternately, and then recite the oath in front of them to seal the jade string of the contract with God. There was a strong curiosity in her rosy red eyes.
When it came to the ring-exchanging session, she looked at the bride who was crying with joy, and the groom who was smiling and kissing the tears on her face. She turned her eyes slightly and looked at the boy who was holding her hand tightly.
Coincidentally, he was also looking at her, his gaze as warm as ever, like the dawn of light shining into the dark world.
Lu Mingfei's only impression of Japanese weddings was the scene of Naruto and Hinata getting married in the finale of Naruto. In his previous life, his wedding with Eri was a Western-style wedding.
At that time, his girl was wearing a white wedding dress and holding flowers, and was escorted to him by Gen Chisei himself. The brother-in-law lowered his voice and said, "If you dare to let Eri down, I will kill you."
This is not just talk. Lu Mingfei was chased for two blocks with a knife by his brother-in-law because of a beautiful misunderstanding.
So when he saw the bride and groom hugging each other, he felt quite emotional. It was a great regret in life for the groom not to appreciate his elder brother-in-law's gnashing of teeth and reluctance to give his most beloved sister to a man chosen by her.
Of course, it turns out that Eri did not choose the wrong person. Lu Mingfei will never let those who believe in him lose.
Except for gambling dogs.
The moment he made eye contact with the girl, Lu Mingfei keenly noticed that there seemed to be some kind of eagerness surging in Eri's eyes. So he looked at the slender hand he was holding and felt that it was indeed lacking some decoration.
So he squeezed her palm and whispered in her ear:
"Eri will have it in the future, too."
The girl's lips curled up slightly when she heard that, and a faint smile was like the bright moonlight, covering all the people and objects in the temple.
They watched until the end of the wedding. When all the attendees drank the sacred wine to bless the newlyweds, Eri blinked and held the wine glass, wondering what was going on in her head.
The alcohol content of sake was not high, and Lu Mingfei did not stop her from drinking it. Moreover, with Eri's bloodline, a little alcohol was not enough to make her drunk.
After watching the wedding, the two strolled around Meiji Jingu Shrine hand in hand. They waited until it was completely dark before leaving and heading to the restaurant that Eri mentioned.
Although she had been staying in that dark wooden house for many years, Gen Chisei still loved her sister. Whenever he had time, he would take her out for a delicious meal. For example, the destination of their trip this time was the restaurant that Eri often went to.
Chateau Joel Robuchon, a restaurant that only accepts advance reservations.
Eri said this was a cafeteria. Perhaps only this little princess of the underworld could use a Michelin three-star French restaurant as a cafeteria.
When the waiter heard that they didn't make a reservation in advance, he decided to refuse without thinking. After all, the place was booked out today, and even if they had a reservation, it couldn't be today.
Before Lu Mingfei could show off his ability to spend money, the general manager had already rushed over.
His posture was impeccably elegant, but his rapidly moving legs betrayed his inner nervousness.
A few days ago, the Eight Snake Qi Families issued several high-value rewards, and this lady happened to be among the people they were looking for.
Although I don’t know why it was cancelled the other day, but there’s no news on the street. It must have been lost, and I had to cancel it due to some inconvenient reasons.
Just now, he was in the office on the second floor when he suddenly received a message from an unknown number saying that the mysterious guest who had reserved the entire place tonight was Miss Uesugi, who was on her way and would be turned away by the waiter in half a minute.
After 0.5 seconds of surprise and hesitation, he transformed into Tokyo Bolt and rushed down directly from the second floor.
He quickly came to Lu Mingfei and Eri, bowed and apologized for the waiter's rudeness, and said that he was negligent for not receiving the notice from the retainer in advance, and asked Miss Uesugi not to blame him.
Eri didn't mean to embarrass them, she just nodded and told them to use the menu I usually eat.
Upon hearing this, the general manager almost couldn't hold back the humble and ingratiating smile on his face - Oh my God, Master Yuan, come and see, Miss Uesugi has spoken!
Restraining his excitement and urge to report immediately, the general manager glanced at Lu Mingfei inconspicuously, wondering if this guy was the suspect who kidnapped Miss Uesugi. He led them to the best spot on the second floor very attentively, and very considerately dimmed the lights, using candlelight and aromatherapy to create a romantic atmosphere.
The general manager was too eager, so Lu Mingfei was unable to pull out the chair for his female companion like a gentleman in a movie, so he propped his chin with one hand and looked at her:
"Eri was so handsome just now."
The girl nodded modestly: "It's delicious here."
"The general manager's name is Dong Chengbu?" Lu Mingfei just glanced at the other party's badge, and these three words were written on it.
Eri shook her head to indicate that she didn't know: "What's wrong?"
"No, I just had the same name as a perverted butler. My expression just now was quite similar to his."
"oh."
The two of them sat there chatting. After the general manager gave his orders, he hid back in his office and reported the news to Crow, who then passed it on to Yuan Zhisheng.
Gen Chisei already knew who Eri was with, and also knew that she had a consumption record in Shibuya today, so he was not surprised at all.
But what Crow said while holding up his glasses, "The head of the Uesugi family has spoken, there are no dead people at the scene and the restaurant has not become a ruin," almost made him drop his jaw.
If he didn't have to have dinner with the delegation from Kassel College and President Angers later, and Lu Mingfei had also secretly expressed that he didn't want to be disturbed, he really wanted to grow wings and fly over directly.
He was about to bring over the surveillance from Chateau Joel Robuchon, but when he thought about how every time he went there to eat, people would use screens to block other people's view, he sighed helplessly:
"Forget it, let's leave it like this for now and let the general manager entertain you."
Crow also knew that Yuan Zhisheng and Batman had reached some kind of secret deal, so he didn't say much and just conveyed the truth.
When the restaurant general manager received the reply, he couldn't help but sweat a drop on his forehead. It was true that appearance should not be judged. The young man who was eating for free actually got the approval of the young gangster. Fortunately, he didn't do anything disrespectful just now, otherwise who knows what the consequences would be.
Thinking of this, he, a former chef who was very famous in the Tokyo food industry, degraded himself and worked with the manager to serve the two distinguished guests, doing his best to serve them in every possible way.
Lu Mingfei teased the general manager, saying that your name and service attitude made me doubt whether you were sent by someone to monitor me. If I did anything out of line, hundreds of executioners would rush in and chop me into pieces.
General Manager Dong Chengbu laughed dryly upon hearing this, and said that the biggest danger in their legitimate business was worrying about inadequate service and complaints from customers.
Just when Lu Mingfei was teasing the restaurant's general manager, a man who was not an axeman but was more dangerous than hundreds of axemen was approaching on the street not far away.
Uesugi Yue, who looked like he had been playing hide-and-seek with others for the whole day, exuded a low aura. He walked towards the famous French restaurant with heavy steps, his eyes fixed on the Western-style building built in the 1930s in the distance.
He chased after his daughter and the little yellow-haired boy for the entire day. It was okay once or twice, but he just missed them every time. How could he not think too much?
Too many coincidences are no longer coincidences, but premeditated events.
Combined with the previous incident with the rich young woman who wanted to buy the street behind the Tokyo University, Uesugi Yue had reason to suspect that the yellow-haired boy had already discovered him and was deliberately making trouble for him.
Just like using a carrot to catch a donkey, when he gets tired and doesn't want to move, you can slip the bait (clue) in front of him to rekindle his motivation.
You bastard boy, you deserve to die!
French food is no different from other food. It takes at least an hour to get away from it. Let’s see where you can run this time!
The old man, who hadn't eaten a drop of water or a grain of rice for half a day, was extremely angry and his mouth was about to get blisters due to the inflammation. He walked forward angrily, and was stopped outside as expected.
The waiter looked very businesslike. The guests who had reserved the entire restaurant for the night had already finished their meal, and the rest were irrelevant people, so of course they were not allowed in.
Excuse me for being frank, but the old man in front of him does look a bit unusual, but his dress and appearance don't seem like someone who would consume here.
Uesugi Yue glanced at the empty hall, his ears caught the melodious music coming from the second floor, and there were soft conversations. He was too lazy to argue with the waiter anymore, so he simply raised his hand, grabbed his neck, walked into the restaurant, and hung up a sign saying it was temporarily closed.
After knocking out the blind waiter, he walked up the stairs, his steps heavy but silent.
I feel more timid when I am close to home, and I feel more anxious when I am close to my relatives.
The long-awaited reunion of father and daughter was just around the corner, but all the prepared speeches were messed up at this moment. Uesugi Yue suddenly felt as if he was not ready at all. But now the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. Who knew where that bastard would take his precious daughter after the candlelight dinner.
Coincidentally, there were several white masks on the cabinet on the corner platform of the stairs, and he picked up one and put it on his face.
Since you are not prepared, just be a righteous anti-abduction person. In order to protect the girl's purity from being tarnished, the white mask will appear!
When he was two-thirds of the way up the stairs, the speaker that was playing melodious music suddenly stopped. He thought it was a machine malfunction, but when the sound started again, he heard an eerie clapper sound.
Marveling at the unique taste of this restaurant, he went up to the second floor.
What caught my eye was not my pretty and lovely daughter dining elegantly, but the hateful little yellow-haired boy sitting opposite me drooling at her.
Instead, she was a pitiful and helpless girl, covering her head with her hands, her face full of pain and her eyes filled with fear.
