Chapter 140 Reception
"Do you want to see what you're talking about?"
"Just kidding, just kidding, okay, I'll stop teasing you guys now, let's go out and watch TV." Su Xingbo stopped teasing them and said seriously.
He then set an example by walking out of the room first, and after a while, the other two followed and sat down on the sofa.
The atmosphere went from being enthusiastic and lively at the beginning to being completely silent.
Su Xingbo shook his head helplessly, first kissed Yuanzi, then pulled the shy Xiaolan to his side and kissed her as well.
Just as he was about to take it a step further.
"bang bang bang"
Su Xingbo asked in confusion, "Who is this?"
Xiao Lan didn't say anything, but hurriedly got up to open the door, and then Su Xingbo saw Xiao Lan helping Kogoro Mouri walk in.
Su Xingbai quickly stepped forward to take the drunk Maoli and helped him to his bed.
"Wow, why is Uncle drinking so much again?" Sonoko said with disdain.
Xiaolan wiped the sweat from her forehead and shook her head helplessly, saying, "Dad has always been like this; there's no way he can change this habit."
"Sigh, Ran, you really have to work hard, having to take care of Uncle every time," Sonoko sighed.
Xiaolan smiled faintly: "It's alright, Dad is usually very reliable."
The three of them left the room.
It's not appropriate to continue what we were doing at this point.
Su Xingbo then prepared to leave with Yuanzi. "Xiaolan, if Uncle Mori comes back, then Yuanzi and I will go back to the villa on the mountaintop first."
"Okay," Xiaolan replied, "Then drive carefully."

That night.
Ayako's hilltop villa.
Sonoko and Su Xingbai returned to the villa on the mountaintop. Ayako was already waiting in the living room and greeted Sonoko with a smile when she saw her return.
Sonoko eagerly pulled Ayako to the sofa and began to tell her about Urashi Seiran.
After listening, Ayako pondered for a moment, "Sister, since things have come to this, perhaps we can observe her first. If she has truly turned over a new leaf and will never do bad things again, then we can still accept her."
Sonoko gasped. Is this the level of tolerance of the eldest wife? It's outrageous!
Su Xingbo smiled with relief. Ayako and Akemi were both gentle and kind people, and they were much quicker to accept others than others.
"Wouldn't that be too easy on him?" Yuanzi said, glancing sideways at Su Xingbai sitting next to her.
“Sonoko, it’s okay for you to be willful at other times, but as long as Hoshiba doesn’t go looking for those unclean women, we’ll turn a blind eye to this kind of thing.”
Upon hearing this, Sonoko said sadly, "Did your mother also experience something like this?"
Ayako hugged Sonoko and said gently, "There was no affection between Mom and Dad. Their marriage was an arranged one between their families. After you were born, I never saw them sharing a room again. Dad also rarely stayed overnight at home; he always stayed at his mistress's house."
"What saddened my mother was that she didn't break free from the family's control to find her love, and could only be manipulated by the family to marry someone she didn't like."
Su Xingbai couldn't help but interject, "Why don't we bring your aunt to the villa on the mountaintop in the future? That way you can see her every day. What do you think?"
"Yes, yes, let's bring Mom to the villa on the mountaintop too, so she won't have to live alone in an empty house anymore," Sonoko clapped happily.
Ayako also looked pleasantly surprised: "Really? Hoshiba?"
"Silly girl, that's your biological mother, and also my mother-in-law. It's only right to bring your mother-in-law here, but I'm worried that Chairman Suzuki might have objections." Su Xingbo said, pretending to be concerned, but actually expressing his worries.
Sonoko waved her hand dismissively and laughed, "Hey, it's okay. Dad doesn't come home anymore. He's probably waiting for his mistress to give him a son. He doesn't care where Mom goes."
Upon hearing this, Ayako patted Sonoko on the shoulder. No matter what, he was still their father, and no matter how bad he was, it wasn't up to them to judge him so casually.
Of course, it's okay to curse in your heart, but you can't say it out loud in front of others. If you get into a habit of saying it and outsiders hear it, you'll really lose face.
"No matter where you are in the future, you can never say such things again, do you hear me?" Ayako held her shoulders and looked at her seriously.
Sonoko suddenly tensed up. What was wrong? Why was she suddenly so serious?
Seeing that she wasn't joking, he nodded with difficulty and agreed.
Lingzi then released her hand and said with a serious smile, "It doesn't matter to Xingbai if he hears these words, after all, he's family with us." Upon hearing this, Su Xingbai tightened his grip on her hand.
“But!” Ayako changed the subject, “If you get into the habit of saying this, and outsiders hear it, do you know what kind of damage it will do to the Suzuki Zaibatsu? Although everyone knows this, if no one brings it up, then it doesn’t exist! Do you understand?”
Sonoko nodded, seemingly confused. Ayako wasn't sure if Sonoko understood or not, and just sighed helplessly.
"Oh dear, today is a day we finally get to be together, why are you all so gloomy? How about we call Qinglan and have a drink together? As they say, a good drink can wash away a thousand sorrows."
The two women nodded listlessly and then began to get busy.
………………
………………
Pu Siqinglan was soon invited over. She was a little reserved when she entered the villa.
But Ayako warmly pulled her to sit down, smiling as she said, "Today we'll only talk about sisterhood; the past is the past." Pu Siqinglan nodded gratefully.
After a few drinks, everyone started talking.
Ayako recounted some amusing anecdotes about Sonoko's mischievousness when they were children, which made everyone burst into laughter.
Just then, the doorbell rang. Su Xingbai went to open the door and found that it was Suzuki Tomoko visiting the Ayako sisters.
She walked into the house and was taken aback by the harmonious scene.
However, she quickly recovered and joked, "Looks like I came at the perfect time; I can mooch some drinks."
"Mom, why did you suddenly come?" Sonoko asked in surprise, shaking Suzuki Tomoko's arm.
Tomoko Suzuki reached out and touched her forehead, then sat down with her. "I was just bored at home, so I heard you guys were going to stay here for a few days, and I thought I'd come up and see you since I was passing by."
The Ayako sisters and Su Xingbo exchanged a glance, both understanding the secret behind it.
Who would go out of their way to hike for almost half an hour to visit someone? That must mean they have a really good relationship.
They were definitely there specifically to visit the Ayako sisters, but they wouldn't expose her lie.
Su Xingbai pointed to Pu Siqinglan and introduced her, "Auntie, this is Pu Siqinglan, my good friend."
Pointing to Tomoko Suzuki, he jokingly introduced her, "This beautiful and elegant young lady is my mother-in-law."
The two shook hands and introduced themselves.
Tomoko Suzuki covered her mouth and laughed, "Oh, I'm a mother of two, how can I still be considered young?" Although she said that, the smile on her face showed that she was quite pleased.
“You are worthy of her. It’s no exaggeration to say that if you were walking with Ayako and Sonoko in public, people would just think that the three sisters were shopping together. Don’t you think so?” Su Xingbo said respectfully, then turned to look at the other three.
The three nodded quickly and replied, "That's right, Mom looks very young."
"You guys just know how to please an old man like me." Suzuki Tomoko hadn't even had a drink yet, but her face was flushed as if she had drunk too much.
For a moment, Su Xingbai was captivated by the beautiful woman in front of him. Fortunately, Pu Siqinglan noticed his unusual behavior and quickly pinched his thigh, making him realize how offensive he had been.
She gave Pu Siqinglan a grateful look, then looked at the mother and her two daughters.
Fortunately, they were having a great time chatting and didn't notice his awkward expression.
The five of them continued drinking and toasting, one after another.
Among them, Tomoko Suzuki has the highest alcohol tolerance, mainly because she often drinks alone at home when she's bored.
Seeing that they had drunk enough and were a little tipsy, Suzuki Tomoko said, "You guys keep drinking, I have to go back. I need to drive, and it's not safe to drive if I'm too drunk." With that, she got up and prepared to leave.
Su Xingbo quickly got up and hugged her, but lost his balance and fell to the ground with her in his arms.
The two of them, completely unprepared, kissed passionately.
Well, that's it. Suzuki Tomoko, who was still a little drunk, instantly sobered up and tried her best to push the drunk man off her.
I tried pushing it several times, but it wouldn't budge.
In the end, Su Xingbo got up on his own, pulled her up, and put his arm around her as they returned to the ground. He then took out a cup of his treasured baijiu from his system space with a smile.
He poured only one ounce for Suzuki Tomoko, but poured a full three ounces for himself, so much so that the wine in his glass was about to overflow.
"Hehe, this is a real treasure. I don't give it to anyone else. I'm happy today, so come on, have a drink."
Suzuki Tomoko watched as he conjured a bottle of wine out of thin air, as if by magic. She picked up the extra glass with great interest, examined it, and then smelled it.
Um~
Alcohol!
Then she saw Su Xingbo pick up the small glass of baijiu, down it in one gulp, and then make a "tsk tsk tsk" sound and take a breath.
Before she could stop him, he had already finished it, and then a comfortable expression appeared on his face.
Seeing that he was alright, Tomoko Suzuki took a small sip of alcohol.
I couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Wow, this is so strong! This alcohol is incredibly potent!" she exclaimed, sticking out her tongue and fanning herself with her hand.
Su Xingbo couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, and directly picked up her cup and poured it into her mouth.
Worried that she might vomit, he thoughtfully tilted her head back to ensure that the alcohol went down her throat and into her stomach.
Tomoko Suzuki was forced to drink three ounces of strong baijiu, which was no small amount.
For someone trying baijiu for the first time and drinking Lao Bai Gan, one liang (50ml) is enough to taste the flavor of Lao Bai Gan.
After a few bites, Tomoko Suzuki clutched her stomach and throat in pain, rolling around on the ground.
However, this feeling will soon disappear, followed by dizziness and headache.
Suzuki Tomoko lay down in his arms with a blank stare and a vacant look in her eyes.
Looking at Su Xingbai with drunken eyes, she pouted and said coquettishly, "Hmm~ Come on, my dear friend."
Su Xingbai was still a bit dazed and thought it was a friend or relative, so he boldly kissed him.
They even went so far as to stick their tongue in as well.
As for the three people next to them, they were already completely drunk, lying motionless on the table, fast asleep.
The two, burning with passion, were not content with just kissing. Su Xingbo also felt Ayako's enthusiasm. After all, there were other people around. If Ayako's mother, Suzuki Tomoko, saw them doing this in public, she would definitely be furious.
So Su Xingbai struggled to his feet, put his arm around Lingzi, and followed her unsteadily up to the second floor. They went straight into the first room next to the stairs on the second floor.
The main problem was that he simply couldn't hold on any longer; if he stood there any longer, he would throw up. He needed to get into a room quickly.
After entering, he casually closed the door with his foot.
The two of them pressed heavily onto the bed.
at this time.
Suddenly, the sound of a violent storm arose outside. The rain pounded against the windows of the villa, making a "ah, ah, ah, ah, ah" sound.
The strong wind was rattling the windows, making a constant "bang, bang, bang" sound.
The storm raged for over two hours before the wind and rain outside finally subsided slightly.
It turned into the sound of gentle rain flowing by.
Su Xingbai slept exceptionally well that night, and even had some very romantic dreams.
In the dream: When everyone had drunk enough, it was getting late. Suzuki Tomoko got up to say goodbye, and Su Xingbai saw her off to the door, escorting her to the bottom of the suspension bridge.
Then they went back inside, and the three women had flushed faces because they had drunk a little too much.
Su Xingbai looked at them, his heart filled with warmth.
The atmosphere, which was initially somewhat awkward and heavy, became relaxed and pleasant thanks to everyone's mutual understanding and tolerance.
Finally, everyone agreed to meet again next time.
Yuanzi surprisingly agreed to have a party, which made Su Xingbai extremely happy. It was a party, after all, and many people could come to attend.
Sonoko used to be very shy and hated parties, but this time she has become surprisingly understanding.
As expected, Ayako's constant preaching eventually softened Sonoko's stubborn heart.
Su Xingbo couldn't wait to join the party, and pulled the three of them together to get started.
