A few minutes later, Koga Rikushige and the maid came to the restaurant pushing the dining cart.
Ye Gengyi noticed that when the old housekeeper appeared, the four brothers and sisters of the Yincang family who seemed not very close to each other obviously reduced their hostility to each other, making the atmosphere less tense.
Um?
How could this be the reaction...
Although judging by Koga Rikushige's age, even if he did not serve two heads of the family, he at least spent decades with Torakura Sakuya, but in the final analysis, he is just an old housekeeper. Since it is a duel If the current head of the family holds an inheritance discussion meeting, then the old housekeeper should have little say in the issue of inheritance.
No……
Maybe it's not that complicated.
Ye Geng thought of the figure he had glimpsed at the stairs before. Unsurprisingly, it was the young man wearing a white suit.
The other party had obviously noticed us outsiders, but still deliberately waited until the previous couple entered the restaurant before arriving.
And after arriving.
He seems to have been stimulating conflicts among people around the two sensitive topics of inheritance, 'mistress' and 'illegitimate child'.
This behavior is very irrational.
Especially since he was attending this dinner as a rich girl's pretty boy, no one could have a good impression of him.
If you keep this kind of 'brainless' behavior, there will naturally be no problem. The sudden change in attitude can only show that there is something in this old housekeeper that he is 'afraid of'.
Um……
It's not necessarily 'afraid'... Let's take a look first before talking about it.
Ye Geng threw the finished coffee can into the trash can.
…
The group of people took their seats at the invitation of Rikushige Koga.
At the same time, the old butler took advantage of the maid to serve the meal and came to Otaki Goro and introduced to him in a low voice the identities of the six people across the table.
The middle-aged man with a Chinese character and a relatively kind appearance is named Tokura Mashin. He is the younger brother of the current head of the family, Tokura Sakuya. The blond woman wearing bright clothes and speaking meanly is his wife Tokura Ruri.
The rich woman wearing heavy makeup is Tokura Mamoru, the eldest daughter of the Tokura family.
Although Koga Rikushige did not mention her age when introducing her, judging from the previous conversation in which she blurted out 'Sakuya' instead of 'eldest brother' when addressing the current head of the family, it seems that the person she was talking to was Torakura Sakiya. sister.
The young man in a white suit was named Hanekawa Johei. What surprised Ye Gengyi was that the relationship between him and Tokura Mamoru was not a couple...
Of course, this is not what the old housekeeper said.
Because if these two people are married, when introducing Hanekawa Johei, they should call him Torakura Johei.
Hmm... It's also possible that he has already received the certificate and hasn't spoken out yet. After all, being able to attend the dinner already explains a lot.
Forget it...this kind of thing is not important.
Because Koga Rikuzo is old, he speaks very slowly.
In order to avoid getting sleepy, Ye Gengyi could only use his extra thoughts to disperse.
Later, the old housekeeper introduced the bearded man who was anxious when provoked but refused to punch anyone with his fist.
He is the third son of the Tokura family, Tokura Kishiji.
When I sat down, I emotionally chose a seat farthest away from my brothers and sisters.
The meathead, who laughs at himself and calls himself a 'mistress', is the second daughter of the Tokura family, Tonakura Shina.
After introducing her identity, the old housekeeper stopped talking.
Is this the end?
What they wanted to hear most was not said... Hattori Heiji and Conan looked at the old butler who took a few steps back and stood silently next to the dining car with speechless expressions.
so……
Are they mistaken?
Although the maid named Xiaoguang was born by a 'mistress', she is not related by blood to the current head of the Torakura family?
Is this an 'aristocratic' family? Their private life is really messy... Both of them were ashamed. Considering that the relevant topic should be answered after Torakura Sakuya appeared, they were patient and did not ask further questions.
As a result, the wait lasted for more than ten minutes.
Without the rightful owner, it was not convenient for everyone to enjoy the meal. They were all fiddling with their knives and forks, as if cutting the beef on the dinner plate was a task that required great concentration.
Look at the atmosphere of silence.
Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but inquire about Tokura Sakuya's physical condition, and then said in surprise:
"What?! I have an incurable disease..."
"right."
The second son Tokura Masin nodded: "It is said that he can only live for another half year."
His wife Ruri Tokura said softly and said in a mean tone:
"Isn't there only three months left?"
Mouri Kogoro laughed a few times and did not answer Tokura Ruri's words.
Just deduct half?
Sure enough, outsiders were just playing for the occasion, and it was up to oneself to exploit them... After Ye Gengyi confirmed the safety of the food, he cut another piece of beef and put it in his mouth.
"It's normal for you to think so. Maybe he really doesn't have much time."
Later, the year-old couple Tonakura Mamoru and Hanekawa Johei also said that the reason why they came to the dinner was mainly because the invitation letter stated that if they were absent, they would not receive the inheritance.
Hearing this, Mouri Kogoro sweated again and felt helpless about this.
He asked about Tokura Sakuya's physical condition, mainly because he wanted to use this as a starting point to further discuss his nocturnal behavior and the topic of vampires.
Unexpectedly, these 'relative' brothers and sisters were all thinking about the inheritance of the inheritance. The first thing they said was, 'It doesn't matter if my eldest brother dies or not. He only has a few days to live anyway. All he needs to do is give us the inheritance.' déjà vu.
...There is absolutely no way to talk.
"Speaking of which, isn't it too slow, brother?"
The third male, Kishiji Tokura, looked at the door of the restaurant, and from his expression, he was eagerly anticipating the appearance of the other party.
"Maybe I overslept."
At this time, Hanekawa Johei looked at Maori Ran and Toyama Kazuha and suddenly said:
"You two ladies...I'm sorry, could you please go wake him up?"
"ah?"
"Are we...?"
Mao Lilan, Yuan Shan and Ye were stunned.
There are housekeepers and maids in the restaurant. Although their current responsibility should be to be responsible for meals and communication with the kitchen, no matter how you think about it, you shouldn't leave it to the guests to call the villa master, right?
But...then again, this is not something worth bothering about. Even if it is for this rather sumptuous dinner, it should not be refused.
"He lives in the innermost room along the corridor after exiting the restaurant and turning right."
Hanekawa Johei said with a smile: "I think if you go, he will be very happy."
"Hehehe, that's right..."
On the side, Tonakura Mamoru glanced at the maid named Xiaoguang calmly, and said in a strange tone: "After all, Koya still likes young girls..."
