Uncle Mori, who hadn't quite grasped the situation yet, casually explained why it was a tie.
He said:
"However, I felt that the beauty pageant was not interesting halfway through, so I didn't cast my vote."
Ran, who was originally happy for Eri, immediately stopped smiling after hearing this.
She squinted at Uncle Mori and asked:
"So, Dad, now that you know what a beauty pageant means, who will you choose?"
Having already guessed what Uncle Mori was thinking, Kōyū frantically gave hints from the side.
At the same time, we are also reminding people in various ways.
I'm not good with language; if I try to speak, I'll definitely be discovered.
He could only resort to actions, such as tugging at his clothes or stepping on Uncle Mori's foot.
At this point, Uncle Mori also realized the problem.
The smile on his face slowly faded.
After hesitating for a second, he forced a smile and said:
"Of course I'll vote for Eri!"
This answer is definitely correct.
Even after considering the context, Eri Kisaki still had some doubts.
She stepped forward, braced herself on the table with both hands, and looked at Uncle Mori with slightly narrowed eyes.
But the next second, Eri Kisaki suddenly smiled.
She asked in the same gentle tone she used to wake Uncle Mori yesterday:
"Honey, tell me the truth."
"If you knew the significance of that game, who would you vote for?"
"Of course I'll vote for you!" Uncle Mori swallowed hard and replied, trying to appear calm.
Upon hearing this, Eri blushed, seemingly moved.
She asked again:
Really?
Seeing Eri Kisaki like this, Uncle Mori really thought she was moved.
He breathed a sigh of relief, and his voice became much more confident.
"Of course! Who else would we vote for if not you?"
"Should I vote for the adorable Yukiko?"
However, at the same time, he didn't pay as much attention to details.
Although the answer was that she voted for Eri Kisaki, she also praised Yukiko Kudo.
Everyone present could see what Uncle Mori was thinking.
Maintaining her touched expression, Eri Kisaki said gently:
"Actually, I think it would have been better to vote for Yukiko."
"After all, she's so cute."
"I think so too," Uncle Mori replied with a subconscious smile.
But his expression froze after he answered.
"This is a sting operation." Kōyū looked at Uncle Mōri with sympathy.
He was at his wit's end.
The reminder was given, and Uncle Mori realized it.
But there's nothing that can be done about Uncle Mori's own foolishness.
Uncle Mori has the will to survive, but it's not strong enough.
Upon hearing this, Yukiko Kudo's earlier disappointment vanished, replaced by a sweet smile.
Eri Kisaki also stopped smiling and showed an expression completely different from before.
It became cold and icy.
Realizing things had gone wrong, Uncle Mori quickly waved his hand, trying to salvage the situation.
He explained:
"I did not mean that!"
"While Yukiko is indeed very cute, Eri is just as good!"
But it was too late for him to make amends.
At that moment, Eri Kisaki reached out and picked up the envelope containing money from the table.
As she opened it, she calmly said to Uncle Mori:
"By the way, this time we were able to resolve this troublesome request entirely thanks to Yukiko and my help."
"As compensation, Yukiko and I will each take 10% of your earnings, which is one million."
After counting out the money and putting it in her pocket, Eri Kisaki handed the envelope directly to Ran.
She knew who held the purse strings in the family.
It's okay even if you don't know.
Based on the debt issue alone, Uncle Mori is not suitable to take on that much money.
She originally didn't want any payment.
We're all one family.
And she's not short of money now.
But since Uncle Mori doesn't find his wife lovable, then she should follow industry norms and take a reasonable amount of compensation.
Consider it compensation for my wife.
She put a lot of effort into resolving this case.
It's normal to receive some compensation.
"Then I want one too."
After receiving the envelope, Xiaolan counted out the money and took it out of the envelope.
She said to Uncle Mori:
"There's an izakaya, a snack bar, and a cafe downstairs where I can run up my credit..."
"Plus, Dad, the allowance you received in advance, plus this month's and next month's living expenses..."
Every time Ran mentions an expense, Uncle Mori feels a pang of pain in his heart.
But he had no other choice.
"In addition, there's the dry cleaning fee for the suit trousers."
Then, Xiaolan calmly uttered these threatening words.
She originally wanted to save face for Uncle Mori.
But when she heard that her own father wouldn't vote for her mother...
Not only did she not vote, but she also went so far as to tell her mother that other girls were cuter and that she should vote for that girl.
Then don't blame her.
But Xiaolan doesn't believe she's a devil.
The money will also be left for Uncle Mori.
After taking out the necessary funds, Xiaolan gave the rest to Uncle Mori.
She said:
"This money is for you, Dad. Consider it extra pocket money after I took on this job."
After counting the amount of money in his hand, Uncle Mori was on the verge of tears.
He said with great heartache:
"There's only... 4396 yuan left!"
"My ten million... now I only have four thousand left..."
