Conan: Ran, don't turn around, I'm a washing machine.

I barely passed Chapter 104, Level 1.

However, judging from Ayako's boyfriend's behavior, he was neither arrogant nor humble, had a strong physique, was quite handsome, and was able to build such a large villa on the mountain, which must have cost a lot of money, indicating that he is quite wealthy.

It's only because Su Xingbo didn't know what she was thinking, otherwise he would have laughed his teeth out. This villa emptied all his savings, and in the end, he only managed to acquire it by living off Yukiko.

It's true that he's not even middle-aged yet, and he's already living off a woman. But then again, Yukiko is actually richer than him, and she has a whole string of karaoke-themed items. He's quite envious of her.

After Suzuki Tomoko left, Ayako excitedly hugged Su Xingbai, tears streaming down her face. Yuanzi also came over and hugged Ayako, gently patting her back to comfort her.

Three people, living a peaceful and quiet life.

"Dong dong dong."

A knock sounded at the door; it was Tomoko Suzuki, who had returned.

When she got back, she saw the three of them hugging each other, and Ayako was crying her eyes out. It was really exaggerated, but she didn't think too much about it and just assumed they were too excited.

"Mom, why are you back?" Sonoko asked first.

Tomoko Suzuki retorted, "Can't I come back?"

"Yes, of course we can. Why don't we go to my sister's villa and chat for a while? It was just handed over yesterday, and a lot of things aren't complete yet." Under the pressure of Tomoko Suzuki's gaze, Sonoko decisively backed down and immediately changed the subject.

"Then let's go together." Ayako wiped away her tears and said with a radiant smile.

Then, Ayako and Sonoko each took one of Suzuki Tomoko's arms and walked back to Ayako's villa together, while he silently followed behind.

Soon, they arrived at Ayako's villa.

Sonoko and her mother sat on the large sofa, while Su Xingbai sat on a single sofa to the side. Ayako went to the kitchen to prepare drinks and fruit as soon as she returned.

Su Xingbai sat upright with a very standard posture, his hands resting on his knees, his fingers parallel to his knees and not extending beyond them, his arms straight.

Sit on only one-third of the sofa, keep your back straight, neck stiff, head slightly raised and chest out.

Even if you've never been a soldier, haven't you seen soldiers being beaten and punished? The more you see, the more naturally you'll learn.

Although I'm not an expert, I do know a little bit.

Tomoko Suzuki got down to business.

"Mr. Kudo, how many people are in your family?"

"I'm an orphan, and I'm the only one listed on the household registration book now," Su Xingbai replied honestly. (My family's house was demolished for redevelopment, and although I'm not married, I've separated my household registration, so I'm the only one listed on the book now.)

Tomoko Suzuki's face showed a hint of sympathy.

"I'm sorry, I touched a nerve."

Su Xingbo laughed nonchalantly: "It's okay, I've gotten through all these years, I've come to terms with it."

"Hmm." Seeing that his expression didn't seem fake, Suzuki Tomoko continued to ask, "I wonder what Mr. Kudo does these days?"

Okay, you've finally gotten to the crucial point.

"Sonoko and I are currently classmates and still in school."

Upon hearing this, Tomoko Suzuki's expression changed drastically. What? Had she misheard? Unsure of herself, she asked again.

You said you're just a student right now?

Su Xingbai nodded and said, "Yes."

There's nothing to hide. These kinds of obvious things can be easily found out with a simple investigation, so there's no point in trying to cover them up.

Rather than letting others find out, it's better to just tell them outright.

"Do you know how much Ayako spends every day? Do you know how much her food and drinks cost? You're just a student, can you afford to support her?"

These words deeply stung Su Xingbai's fragile heart; after all, he was a codenamed member of the Black Organization.

I never imagined that I would be ridiculed like this because of money. I feel so ashamed.

But it doesn't matter, he's a kept man. If he had money, he would be a kept man for college students, why would he be a kept man?

Su Xingbo took a deep breath and said slowly, "Auntie, you're right. But I love Ayako not because of money, and Ayako is well aware of my situation."

Tomoko Suzuki snorted and said, "Young man, love can't put food on the table." Just as the atmosphere became tense, Ayako walked in with drinks and fruit.

“Mom, although Xingbai is still a student, he is very hardworking and ambitious. He gave us some great suggestions for my latest project,” Ayako hurriedly explained on behalf of Su Xingbai.

Looking at her daughter's determined eyes, Tomoko Suzuki sighed helplessly. How could she not know that her daughter had fallen into the whirlpool of love and was unable to extricate herself?

"Never mind, as long as you don't regret it later."

"Thank you, Mom. Have a bite of dragon fruit. I cut it especially for you, and I even prepared a fork for you." Ayako happily sat down next to Suzuki Tomoko, then pushed the fruit in front of her.

Seeing this, Suzuki Tomoko ate two pieces, then stood up and said, "Take him to our house in a while so your father can take a look. The final decision is up to your father. I have some things to do, so I won't sit here idly."

"Okay, Mom, drive carefully." Ayako also got up to see him off.

After they crossed the suspension bridge, Tomoko Suzuki raised her hand to stop them.

"Alright, that's enough for now. You guys go back and rest. I'm leaving now."

"Okay, Mom, be careful on the road." Sonoko said before Ayako could even speak.

After watching Suzuki Tomoko descend the mountain, Su Xingbai breathed a sigh of relief.

The mother-in-law came to the door and found that Huang Mao had run away with her daughter. It was already good that she didn't kick him out immediately. The biggest difficulty was that she still had to face her father-in-law.

Although Tomoko Suzuki had left, there were few smiles on anyone's face.

After all, this is just the easiest level; who knows what will happen next?

Ayako and Su Xingbo were worried about facing Suzuki Shiro later, while Sonoko was troubled. Although it was a good thing that her sister and Su Xingbo got together, she felt that something was not quite right, but she couldn't figure out what it was.

Back at the villa, Ayako went upstairs to rest, looking dejected. Sonoko, on the other hand, was called up by Su Xingbai to keep Ayako company and have a good chat with her.

He lost interest in rummaging through the basement and sat on the sofa, lost in thought.

Suddenly, his phone rang. He was wondering who was calling him at this hour.

When I took it out and looked at it, wow, it was Gin calling!

After the call connected, a cold voice came from the other end.

"Were you attacked yesterday?"

Oh my god, what's going on? Gin is actually showing concern for him. I'm so flattered.
