Chapter 71 The Highest Level of Showing Off
Street corner, restaurant, second floor.
Miss Suzuki, who had just been forced to comprehend the secrets of her past and present lives, was staring blankly at the legendary [reincarnation of her husband in her previous life] Sawada Tsunayoshi with deep hatred.
Her expression was quite puzzling.
Sonoko's eyes were big to begin with, and now her gaze was as meticulous as if she was dissecting a person open. She looked him up and down several times. Sawada Tsunayoshi strongly suspected that if the conditions allowed, she would probably want to pull out all her hair and take it for testing.
After five minutes, it seemed like she had finished sizing him up. Miss Suzuki was filled with curiosity and said, "Why did I fall for you in my previous life?"
——It’s not that he is not good-looking, but Sawada Tsunayoshi looks really weak. Even though Sonoko knows that he is the alternative successor of the mafia and can beat ten of her, she still thinks he looks like an elementary school student who is criticized by the teacher every day.
Sawada Tsunayoshi rolled his eyes in his heart, laughed twice, and bowed with his hands clasped together generously: Thank you for not falling in love with me in this life!
Reborn sat at the center of the long table, holding a cup of tea he hadn't found anywhere, seeming to be delighted by the scene. "The Vongola and Suzuki are important allies. Continuing the friendship of one generation to the next is everyone's shared aspiration. I'm delighted that Tsuna and Miss Sonoko are getting along so well."
At the end of the speech, he tilted his head, which was a very cute gesture.
However, to Tsunayoshi Sawada, these words sounded like a naked threat: Try your best to get along well with Ms. Suzuki, and don't let me down, stupid Tsuna.
Chun Gang sighed tiredly. In fact, he has loved making friends since he was a child, but he is not the type of person who takes the initiative. So far, all his good friends are those who have come to him on their own initiative.
The stupid rabbit raised his head and glanced secretly. Miss Suzuki was lowering her head curiously. She stretched out her legs subtly and put her feet next to her own feet across the distance of a table.
She gestured here and there... as if she was measuring whose feet were bigger and whose were smaller.
On the other side, Suzuki Sonoko retracted her legs, supported herself on the table and climbed up to sit up straight. She felt even more emotional: the average height of her seven fiancés has never dropped below 180cm, and now this one, who is said to have been married in the previous life, has feet smaller than hers!
She looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi's soft brown hair and round eyes: With such a soft appearance, how could she have the nerve to let him work like a slave after marrying him...
Reborn saw through her thoughts as if he could read her mind, and calmly explained: "According to the agreement, the losing party will bear the responsibility of the marriage, so marrying into the Suzuki family should be XANXUS compared to stupid Tsuna."
XANXUS is indeed very tall...
wrong.
Suzuki Sonoko was startled and looked at the baby: "What did you just say?"
Reborn said nothing.
- Although his intelligence network was restricted because of Cerberus, Reborn recently contacted the psychiatrist who was an off-site consultant (the one who treated XANXUS) and learned some things about the relationship between the Vongola and the Suzuki Zaibatsu.
Because Shiro Suzuki and the Ninth Hokage had only intended to agree on this privately, and the Cradle Incident was a secret that could not be mentioned within the Vongola, this subtle tacit understanding was not directly terminated after the XANXUS incident.
This means that once there is a boy of the right age in Vongola, or the second daughter of the Suzuki family cannot find a suitable fiancé, even if it is just to provide a layer of insurance for this ironclad partnership, this marriage will most likely be arranged.
But things are unpredictable. Suzuki Sonoko went from being the second lady to the heir, and the Vongola had to change from "marrying" to "giving away".
Because the Ninth Daemon couldn't be contacted for the time being, the Great Demon King followed the usual tradition and made a comment on the agreement made that year, but now looking at Miss Suzuki's expression...
How come it's like I'm completely unaware?
Sure enough, Miss Suzuki frowned after hearing this and said firmly: "Absolutely not!"
"ha?"
Without hesitation, Gokudera Junto slammed his hand on the table and said, "Are you looking down on the Tenth Generation?!"
Yamamoto Takeshi waved his hand nonchalantly: "Mukudera is wrong, I believe Tsuna will definitely win, Sonoko is just disgusted with XANXUS."
After saying that, he turned his head, rubbed the back of his head, smiled cheerfully and asked her, "Right?"
Although she had her usual cheerful smile, Suzuki Sonoko subtly felt a sense of pressure. Under his serious gaze, Sonoko swallowed involuntarily and nodded.
Yes, I despise him and don’t want to marry him at all!
Yamamoto seemed to have seen these words from her eyes. Although his expression relaxed a little, he still didn't retract his smile.
Yuanzi hesitated for a few seconds, widened her eyes and tried to make up for it: Actually, I don’t want to marry anyone!
This time, Yamamoto Takeshi received an answer that satisfied him. He smiled and said to Nagisa Gokudera, "I'll tell you what I'm saying."
Reborn thought thoughtfully: "So Suzuki is going to tear up the contract?"
"With all due respect," Suzuki Sonoko raised her hand, "I didn't even know about this contract before today."
Reborn was also confused and raised his eyebrows at her: Anyway, it's you who is marrying someone, not someone marrying you. Isn't XANXUS good-looking?
You can take it home and display it as beautifully as a flower!
Suzuki Sonoko received his disappointed look and immediately laughed, pointing at herself: A family doesn't need two idle people who are responsible for being beautiful. Look at me, it's obvious that I can only be matched with a guy who can make money to support the family.
Yuanzi didn't quite remember what XANXUS was like, but in their recent meeting, he could lead Varian in murder and arson, but he didn't look like someone who could work like a slave, getting up early and working late to review documents...
You even marry a vase to put home to look at - this is obviously marrying an ancestor to put home to worship!
What if he develops a penchant for domestic violence again?
The eyebrow and eye dispute was over here. Reborn avoided Sonoko's sight, pressed down the brim of his hat and cleared his throat.
For the Mafia, the above-ground and underground are actually two separate forces. Although they are both property of the Vongola, they are essentially managed by two groups of people.
Reborn's main contact organization is the Gabrielle family, and he only has a general idea of the Suzuki Zaibatsu.
He only started to investigate this marriage agreement after it was recently exposed, and Miss Suzuki's rich blind date history was not within his scope of inquiry from the beginning.
At this awkward moment, something unusual came from outside the door at the perfect moment: footsteps, thick-soled leather shoes stepping on the solid wooden stairs, as if deliberately making a loud noise to remind the people in the house that he was coming up.
It's Mimasaka Rei.
He had been away for half an hour because he had deliberately avoided it to give face to the Vongola, but the Mimasaka Group came to help because they had done a favor, and the Vongola would not leave them alone for too long.
Now that the secret (the romantic history of the first generation in their previous life) has been revealed, there is no need to ask others to wait any longer.
When they were almost at the door and no one came to stop them, Mimasaka Rei knew that the things that the Vongola and Ms. Suzuki didn't want to be heard were probably finished.
Sure enough, when he entered, the people were still seated as before, but the storyteller had changed from the little baby to Suzuki Sonoko.
Reborn tried to find out the market situation for the leader of his own assassination unit: "How many fiancés did Ms. Suzuki have before?"
Yuanzi counted on her fingers and gestured to him: "Five? Six?"
Mei Zuoling looked around the room, picked a seat and sat down, then joined the conversation very naturally.
"Huh?" He asked curiously, "So that Kiryu-kun who was all the rage before doesn't count?"
Sonoko waved her hand: "Kiryu-kun is currently suffering from a terminal illness. Until he recovers, he will be our adopted son."
【Currently】【Until】.
Reborn touched Len's back calmly, feeling that the words in Miss Suzuki's words seemed particularly interesting.
Then the scene changed for some reason, and everyone was sitting in a row, listening to Miss Suzuki counting her past fiancés.
"The first one was Ximen Zong Erlangjun, a super nice man, but we separated because he wanted to inherit the family business."
It was just a few simple words. Normally, when describing such "objective facts", Yuanzi would not have any other feelings. But today, after unexpectedly realizing that Ximen actually had some real love for her, Yuanzi couldn't help but restrain that insignificant tone.
As she spoke, Yuanzi couldn't help but recall the situations when she had met Ximen several times before.
That time, it seemed that Ximen decided to meet her because he wanted to help her figure out how to pursue Xiaolan.
Because she traveled back five hundred years, Suzuki Sonoko actually couldn't even remember the place where they had agreed to meet. But at this moment, maybe because she put a filter on her memories, it automatically beautified a lot, even though the scene was empty, Ximen Sojiro's face became strangely clear.
——He put on the wristband for himself and looked up at her expression when she smiled. It was so unreal as if she was wrapped in a halo, and two stars were shining brightly in her dark eyes.
Ximen is such a good man and he put so much thought into it, so why did he end up with her?
The wristband that Ximen Sojiro had specially engraved his name on was lost in some corner five hundred years ago. Suzuki Sonoko couldn't help rubbing her bare wrist, feeling inexplicably aggrieved.
I didn’t know he liked me…
So within three seconds of self-blame, Yuanzi felt even more aggrieved.
——If you like her, why don’t you tell her?
Every thought is worth keeping. Even though she is a fool and doesn't mention whether to respond or not (in fact, in Sonoko's opinion, their identities as dual heirs will never have any result), at least she will remember to put the chain away so that she won't throw it away casually.
Yuanzi didn't dare to imagine how Ximen felt when he walked into the restaurant and saw her empty wrist.
After Miss Suzuki had thought about it for a while, she couldn't help but pinch the front of her clothes, and felt a pang in her heart.
——Mad is so cruel...
However, when it comes to imagination, no one else can empathize with it except the person involved.
Everyone in the room was watching her talking while swinging her legs. As she spoke, her voice became softer, and her eyebrows and eyes drooped. She looked smaller like a ball of fur that had been soaked by water. The scene was both cute and funny. Fortunately, Suzuki Sonoko was a person with pure emotions. When she was sad, she looked really sad, and it was magical that she could easily touch others.
So when she lay there sobbing and covering her chest, the people around her actually quieted down.
No way...
Mimasaka Ling sat aside with his arms folded: Originally, driven by some subtle mood, he was planning to record a heartless declaration from Miss Suzuki so that he could go back and confront Ximen Sojiro.
But now, seeing her sitting there without saying anything, he couldn't help but start to think... all those layers of tricks that Sojiro had laid out over the years had been in vain. Could it be that they were suddenly working?
But instead of quickly telling his best friend the great news, why did he suddenly have the urge to pick up Miss Suzuki and smooth her over, then break down Ximen's tricks and explain everything to her?
Mei Zuo Boss touched his chin thoughtfully: Am I really still trying to poach people?
However, before Mimasaka Rei could take action, the TV program that Tsunayoshi Sawada always wanted to watch seemed to have finished its commercials, and a new piece of news was inserted in the middle of a series of entertainment news.
On a certain day at the end of a certain month, an international tea ceremony exchange meeting was to be held. It was a huge investment and had profound significance. The scene changed, and the Japanese representative was: Ximen Sojiro.
This time, Yuanzi didn't need to say anything. After showing the photos of the exchange venue, the host began to introduce Ximen Sojiro, and in just a few hundred words, he portrayed an extremely rich and elegant young man.
The photos used in the news were taken at the exchange venue.
The eighteen-year-old young man is already close to an adult man in physique. He has a calm expression and a straight waist. His long clothes hang down to the ground and his fingers are as white as jade. He lowers his eyes and makes tea. His posture is so relaxed that it seems to blow a light breeze that smells of the sweet and bitter fragrance of tea.
Water vapor wisped in front of his fingers, and aura rose behind him.
Reborn looked at the TV, then looked at his stupid apprentice who was only fourteen years old and less than 160 cm tall like a chicken, and he clicked his tongue in disgust.
——Just looking at the appearance, stupid Gang really lost badly.
He never hesitated to find opportunities to attack his stupid apprentice, because he was afraid that stupid Tsuna was too slow to understand any profound meaning from his big-headed baby face. He even tilted his head and made a serious pouting gesture towards Sawada Tsunayoshi.
Sawada-kun chuckled with drooping eyelids, calmly picked up the remote control - the people watching the store on the second floor had already run away, and the remote control was thrown on the ground at his feet - and changed the channel with a click.
The new program really deviates from the elegant and high-end interests such as tea ceremony. It seems to be backstage at a large-scale entertainment event. Reporters are carrying cameras and filming among a group of young ladies who are urgently putting on makeup. It sounds very lively.
Suzuki Sonoko's attention was drawn back by the sudden noise. She sighed dejectedly, not knowing which of her Ren and Du meridians was opened. She suddenly sat up straight, touched her face, and looked seriously at... Gokudera Junto.
Yusi subconsciously shrank back when she saw him: "What are you doing?"
Miss Suzuki pursed her lips and said seriously, "I can't remember anything about my previous life. Even if you tell me, I still can't relate. Even if you remember that you liked me in your previous life, you would still like me in this life, but I don't remember it, so I don't like you."
Gokudera Junto originally wanted to say forget it, I don’t like you in this life, I don’t even remember who you are!
But before he opened his mouth, he thought about it and felt something was wrong. After hearing the story, he had been thinking about finding this cruel woman for several days. He wanted to ask her why she looked down on him, which made him so angry. Speaking of which...
In Shamal's script, he lost in his previous life because of his duplicity.
But in the previous life, I lost to the tenth generation. Who did I lose to in this life?
Gokudera Junto snorted in dissatisfaction, and looked up to see Suzuki Sonoko, who seemed to have solved a big problem. He felt relieved and continued counting on his fingers.
"My second fiancé is also a very good person. We haven't been together for long, but we're getting along well."
"fall in love?"
"No," Sonoko shook her head. "We mainly talked about cooperation after marriage. In fact, I prefer talking about music with him rather than awkward conversation. It's nice for him to play an instrument or teach me to play an instrument."
Then she pointed at the TV and said, "Look, that's the guy."
At this point, the backstage footage finally ended, and the shooting returned to the main concert stage.
The screen was first pitch black, followed by bursts of screams, and the deep darkness was filled with orange glow sticks.
In the center of the orange-red sea of stars, a bright yellow beam of light banged down. Jinguji Ren, dressed in gorgeous clothes, stood in the mist, leisurely playing the saxophone.
Behind him is a three-story-high screen, which shows every detail of this face at all times without any blind spots.
Her eyes are charming, her long hair is loose, and her finger bones are slender and white under the half-finger leather gloves - the long music is as gentle as a flower slowly opening at midnight, full of low-key and luxurious beauty.
When Lord Jinguji finished singing, he blinked his left eye gently at the camera, and the orange glow sticks that filled the room suddenly started shaking vigorously as if they were going crazy.
Listening carefully, a sharp female voice was shouting heartbreakingly: "I love you, Master Lian (*￣3￣)╭!!!"
——It’s hard to comment on whether Junto Gokudera’s face was defeated, but his hormones were definitely defeated.
Reborn ignored the complicated expression on Mukudera's face. He just paused at Yamamoto's thoughtful face, turned around and gave his stupid apprentice a look.
[As the wife of her previous life, do you feel pressured when you see her exes in this life?]
Sawada Tsunayoshi shrugged unmoved.
[Since it's the past, let them go with the wind. Don't talk about who won or lost in the ring. He and XANXUS are planning to get married, but Suzuki-san doesn't seem to be planning to get married yet. ←_←]
On the other side, Suzuki Sonoko was curiously watching her ex-boyfriend flirting with his fan girl through the camera.
In her impression, Jinguji Ren was a dropout child who was sacrificed in a family struggle. In those short three months, except for the not-so-pleasant first meal, he had always been a gentleman with a good temper, only occasionally appearing lonely and lazy.
However, his reaction just fits Xiaobaicai's personality. Yuanzi was basically not serious at that time and rarely paid attention to this detail.
"As for the third one..."
As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone unanimously turned their eyes away from the concert broadcast.
Sawada Tsunayoshi hesitated, gripping the remote. Should he change the channel again? What if the next show featured her fiancé?
However, Sonoko was completely unaware of this subtle trend of comparison. She thought for a moment and said, "The third person was my former tutor."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sawada Tsunayoshi subconsciously turned around to look at Reborn, and was hit in the face by a stick.
Reborn supported Len, touched his soft cheek, and said earnestly, "Give up. I will never attack my own students."
Sawada-kun covered his cheek and rolled his eyes.
Before the Great Devil could continue to teach his foolish disciple a lesson for daring to offend him, Len, who was lying on the brim of the baby's hat, shivered first with stiffness.
Reborn narrowed his eyes silently, and stared straight at the half-open window with his dark round eyes.
The long-legged men in blue clothes, swords slung at their waists, stopped at the stairs with their orderly steps. A lazy male voice rang out slowly, "Your Highness, please cooperate. Scepter 4 is on duty."
In order to train its successor, Vongola had specifically defined its area of activity, and when reporting to the Golden King, it had only mentioned the area of Namimori - after all, it was just a small place far away from the downtown area of Tokyo, so if there was any commotion, it could be commotion, but Vongola would guarantee that nothing serious would happen.
But an hour ago, someone threw a crutch out of nowhere and smashed the table at a Ginza coffee shop in Tokyo [near the Shinomiya branch], scaring away three wait staff and causing the other party to call the police seven times in a row.
This abnormal surveillance was reported immediately.
Hibari Kyoya was the one chosen by Vongola, and was put on the confidential list after he got the Cloud Ring. Fushimi Saruhiko was very tired and worked overtime for two hours. Before leaving, he encountered another trouble. What made it even worse was that the crime scene video of this troublesome incident showed Miss Suzuki, who seemed to have had an affair with his immediate boss and whom he particularly did not want to see.
So he thought about it again and again, recalled his own king's hidden arrogance but unexpected soft-hearted character, and directly stopped the subsequent reporting procedures, approved it over the head, and brought a team of people to deal directly with the incident involving Suzuki Sonoko.
Sawada Tsunayoshi: "So... why did the super-powered police come to my house to cause trouble and call my name?"
Reborn calmly patted his dog's head and said, "Of course it's because Skylark ran away a long time ago."
Since Yunlark appeared, no other pedestrians appeared on this half of the street, and the surrounding shops were almost empty - proving that Cerbero had indeed taken certain actions to ensure that the existence of the Vongola Ring would not be exposed to the eyes of ordinary people.
Reborn glanced at the slightly surprised Rei Mimasaka, and thought that this favor was wasted. The news that the Mimasaka Group had worked so hard to help block was reported directly by Cerbero.
——They don’t mind at all that the mistakes of the Vongola side are exposed to the eyes of the informed institutions, and they even enjoy watching them make a fool of themselves.
Those puppets were indeed controlled by Varian.
Reborn sighed and decided to notify Iemitsu to take charge of the negotiations.
As a result, after the third-in-command of the Green Group brought his men in, he seemed to have no intention of showing off while recording his confession. He looked around the room lazily, and his eyes did not even linger on Arcobareno's eye-catching figure for a second, but directly fixed his gaze on Suzuki Sonoko who was sitting alone at the other end of the table.
Brown hair gives people the stereotype of being lively yet steady, while dark green eyes should be deep and wise. However, this young lady with brown hair and green eyes lacks the element of "deep and steady" from head to toe.
The pair of deep green eyes opened wide and blinked, and the ripples in their eyes were even clearer and more shimmering than the emerald green.
And she has a round face!
Fushimi Saruhiko looked at her pointed chin critically and admitted indifferently, "Okay, it's not a round face, it's just that there's still some flesh on her face."
——By the way, Ms. Suzuki is already 17 years old according to records. Hasn’t her baby fat gone away yet?
Yuanzi frowned, inexplicably feeling that she was disliked by this boy with glasses.
After the young man Fushimi Saruhiko finished his inspection, he lazily clicked his tongue and said, "Vixen."
Yuanzi made him "tsk" so much that his hair almost stood on end.
The third in command of the Blue Team, who was equipped with a long sword but rarely used it, seemed not to notice that she almost jumped up. He turned his eyes back to Arcobaleno as if nothing had happened and started laughing.
"It's time to finish dinner, what are you guys doing in this empty store?"
"We're just talking about some love strategies."
The little baby spoke nonsense without blushing or breathing heavily, "We were talking about this lady's third fiancé."
"oh?"
Fushimi cooperated and acted interested while practicing Tai Chi with him. He then looked at the confused Miss Suzuki again along the line of his baby-sized glutinous rice dumpling-sized hand.
The third...
Fushimi smacked his lips in amazement. Sure enough, the more youthful and unpretentious someone looked, the more likely they were to be a flirtatious slut. He'd heard a lot before, and it seemed like Reiji Munakata had previously worked for the Suzuki Group. He just didn't know how many previous fiancés their prince had been with when he was being seduced by the eldest daughter...
Before Sonoko could answer, there was another sound of footsteps at the stairs. The door opened, and another row of handsome men in blue clothes with long legs (more than twice the number of the Fushimi group) came in with swords in hand. The handsome Blue King Reiji Munakata appeared and stood still.
"My third fiancé—"
At this moment, Ms. Suzuki's scallion-white finger pointed directly at the wise and powerful head of Scepter 4.
"It's him."
The author has something to say: Invisible pretense is the most deadly
#Turn on any TV and change the channel, and all the handsome guys that appear are my exes#
So far, she has had seven fiancés, but only five of them appeared in official occasions: Suou Tamaki was kept secret by both the Suou and Suzuki families, and the director was kept secret by Huang Jin. As mentioned earlier, an alliance between the royal power and the big chaebols would cause a stir, and marriage would be even more troublesome. Therefore, in the fabricated files, it was said that Munakata Reiji worked in the Suzuki Group before becoming a civil servant (after all, he had represented Suzuki at an exchange meeting).
These plots will be explained slowly later, but I'm going to mention them here in advance to explain why Fushimi thinks Sonoko is a vixen. I wrote about this when he appeared before to intercept Rukia's file. He knew about Suzuki Sonoko purely by inferring it from the photo on Munakata's desk, so in his understanding, this is a story about a fickle young lady who hooked up with her own stupid director.
Finally, as usual, I’ll leave a message. Good night everyone. If you see any typos, please leave a message and I’ll correct them when I wake up. Mmmmm (づ￣ 3￣)づ
