Chapter 1928: Like? (1)
“What did you see?” Qin Su finally asked Zhou Zimo.
“I saw what I should and shouldn’t have.” Zhou Zimo smiled.
“No matter what you saw, keep your mouth shut. Pretend like you didn’t see anything.” Qin Su said in a low voice.
“Don’t worry, I didn’t see or hear anything. Is that okay? Eat your breakfast. You must be hungry too.”
Zhou Zimo finally stopped teasing her and said so.
Qin Su glanced at him before lowering her gaze and continuing to eat her breakfast.
“Why did my Father ask you to pick me up?”
Qin Su naturally had some doubts about Zhou Zimo’s words.
“Naturally, it’s because my future father-in-law believes in my character and thinks highly of me. Why else do you think?”
Zhou Zimo did not hide his words as he spoke, his black eyes filled with pride.
“Have you always been this thick-skinned?”
Qin Su gently furrowed her brows as she swept a glance at Zhou Zimo before handing over her empty bowl. Naturally, Zhou Zimo tacitly took it and scooped half a bowl for her.
“If I weren’t thick-skinned, your parents probably wouldn’t even know of me now. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. If you won’t take the initiative, then I’ll have to. This shouldn’t cause you any problems, right?” Zhou Zimo replied leisurely.
Qin Su paused and took the porridge. In the end, she did not say anything.
…
“Miss, I’ve asked around. Last night, Master Fujiwara didn’t return home, and no one knows where he went. I’ve asked Matsuda, but he didn’t tell me. He only said that Master Fujiwara went out and drove the car by himself.”
It was early in the morning, and Riko Inoue had already gotten up. She had waited for an entire night, but there was still no news from Fujiwara. Naturally, she was a little displeased, but there did not seem to be anything she could do. There was still no news from Fujiwara.
“Did you check where he is?”
Riko Inoue’s hand paused with her knife and fork held for a moment before asking.
“I’ve already sent someone to investigate, but I don’t think he’ll go anywhere. Things are very busy at the company, so Master Fujiwara probably won’t be able to find the time to do anything. There’s no news from Dongfang Liuyun either. Last night, she was seen leaving Imperial Sky Entertainment City with Qi Lei. The two of them don’t look like they’re trapped by a scandal. Perhaps there’s something else going on,” said Yoshimoto.
When she heard this, Riko Inoue fell silent for a moment. She thought for a moment before saying, “Didn’t I ask you to investigate the people around Fujiwara-kun? Why haven’t we found anything yet? Who’s gotten close to him these past few days? Who’s been looking for him?”
Riko Inoue was a very intelligent woman. At this moment, she could still maintain her calm.
“We haven’t found out the details yet. However, it seems that Fujiwara-san hasn’t reconciled with Dongfang Liuyun. Furthermore, I’ve checked the previous news. After spring, Qi Lei is going to hold a wedding with Dongfang Liuyun. So, I feel that there might be something fishy about this scandal. This is because the matter between Qi Lei and Dongfang Liuyun is already set in stone. They’ve already registered it long ago.” Yoshimoto analyzed.
Riko Inoue nodded as well, “What you said makes sense. Perhaps someone wants to target them. You should ask around about this first. If Dongfang Liuyun isn’t hindering me, then being a friend is a good choice. If she’s hindering me, then don’t blame me for being rude.”
Riko Inoue was also a person who was very open-minded about benefits. She was also a person who pursued benefits above all else. She would not go so far as to rashly provoke Dongfang Liuyun just because of Fujiwara, in her opinion, such a thing wasn’t very wise.
“Go investigate this Dongfang Liuyun and see if there’s a need for me to meet her.”
Riko Inoue thought for a long time before giving this order.
“Yes!” Yoshimoto responded.
“Then, Master Fujiwara…”
Before Yoshimoto could finish his sentence, he suddenly heard the sound of a car driving in from downstairs. He subconsciously raised his head to look downstairs and saw Fujiwara’s car slowly driving in. His eyes instantly lit up, “Miss, it’s Fujiwara-san!”
Riko Inoue followed Yoshimoto’s gaze and saw that the car had indeed stopped. Fujiwara was unhurriedly getting out of the car.
“Master!”
A wave of respectful greetings came from below.
Fujiwara nodded indifferently and strode forward.
“Master, you’re finally back. Miss Inoue is here. She’s upstairs having breakfast right now. She waited for you the entire night. When she woke up in the morning, she even asked Yoshimoto to specially come over to ask about you. I was worried that something would go wrong, so I said that I didn’t know where you went. I wonder if she’ll report this to her family.”
Matsuda was drenched in cold sweat as he spoke. Riko Inoue had come over this time because of Fujiwara Kenji’s intentions, so he naturally did not dare to be careless.
“What could go wrong? Can’t you just settle her down?” Fujiwara said disapprovingly.
As if sensing the gaze from above, Fujiwara instantly raised his head warily. As expected, the image of Riko Inoue sitting by the glass window on the rooftop while having her meal was already visible.
Riko Inoue was also silently looking at Fujimoto at this moment, her cold eyes gathering these complicated flowing light. After quite a while, Fujiwara had already retracted his gaze and walked into the house.
Riko Inoue’s expression darkened for a moment, but she also silently retracted her gaze and continued to lower her head to eat her breakfast.
“Miss, do you still want to investigate the whereabouts of Master Fujiwara last night?” Yoshimoto asked.
“No need. Since he’s already back, he doesn’t like others to investigate him. You go and do your things first. I’ll do the rest myself.” Riko Inoue said indifferently. After she finished, she put down the knife and fork in her hand and took a sip of milk—
She was naturally waiting for Fujiwara-san.
…
“Master, Miss Inoue is upstairs having breakfast right now. She should be waiting for you. Should we go up?” Matsuda asked for instructions.
“Just make the arrangements for where she wants to go. There’s no need to nother me. Prepare the documents in the study for me. I need to go to the company right away.” Fujiwara said expressionlessly.
“But Master, she’s a guest. I’m worried that we won’t be able to explain ourselves.”
Matsuda still reminded him carefully. Although he knew that Fujiwara would not be happy to hear such words, he had no choice.
Hearing this, Fujiwara stopped in his tracks and glanced coldly at Matsuda—
“Are you questioning my decision now?”
Matsuda trembled slightly when he heard that cold voice. He quickly lowered his head and explained, “I’m sorry, Master. Matsuda wouldn’t dare!”
