Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 479 Farewell for now
  She had a great time at dinner. After confirming that Fujiwara was her elementary school classmate, Mingmei showed a completely different attitude than before. Gradually, she began to dominate the conversation, from interesting things in elementary school to the fact that she had to do it because her parents were working. Leave and so on.

After eating and drinking, Fujiwara sent Miyano Akemi back. After arriving at the downstairs of an apartment building, Akemi was the first to speak:

"I haven't been this happy for a long time. Thank you..."

"It's nothing. I just saw you suddenly in the bank today and wanted to have a meal and chat with you. But you thought I was a bad person at that time, right?"

Miyano Akemi nodded sheepishly, she was almost frightened.
  Then she looked at Mary and couldn't help but touch the girl's hair color, which was almost the same as her mother's. Not sure if it was an illusion, Mingmei suddenly felt that the girl in front of her had a feeling similar to her mother's.

When she was young, her mother Elena once told her that she had a sister named Mary, but they had almost no interaction with each other. Only on a few phone calls did Mingmei hear the voice of the aunt she had never met.

"Can I hold Mary?"

Fujiwara nodded, looked at Mary and said, "I think Mary also likes to be hugged by a beautiful big sister."

Mary didn't nod but didn't refuse either.

So Mingmei hugged her cheek to cheek, maybe because she loved her too much, and even kissed Mary.

"So cute. If possible, I would really like to introduce Mary to my sister."

Mary and Fujiwara looked at each other, and Fujiwara asked casually, "Is your sister the girl named Shiho?"

"Hey, Fujiwara-kun, do you know him too?"

"Well, I heard from Murata and the others that Akemi has a super cute sister named Shiho. But I haven't seen any photos of her."

"Shiho is also very cute and I feel like Mary looks a bit like Shiho..."

Thinking of her sister who would be free soon, Mingmei suddenly felt moved and invited her directly:

"Well, let's meet up for dinner after a while. I want Mary and Shiho to get to know each other."

Mary also seemed to understand why Fujiwara was so sure that she was related to the Miyano sisters.

"Okay, please leave a number for easy contact."

"Ah."

Mingmei happily took out another mobile phone from her bag, saved Fujiwara's number, and then got out of the car and walked into the rental house.

Fujiwara also drove back. Fujiwara wanted to ask Mary's opinion several times on the way, but Mary seemed to be in a low mood and did not choose to answer him.

"Isn't Mary happy?"

"nothing…"

She didn't feel anything just now, she just felt that the girl named Miyano Akemi was too enthusiastic, especially when she said that she was just like her sister, she vaguely felt something extraordinary...

"Are you still angry? I just called you my daughter..."

"No, but why don't you just show it off with Miyano Akemi... talk to her like that..."

"As I said before, I'm not familiar with Miyano Akemi. Telling her directly will definitely scare her."

"You're not familiar with her?"

Mary felt that Fujiwara was not sincere. If he was really unfamiliar with her, how could he talk to her about so many things from elementary school?

"You see how she was wary of me at first. You should have noticed that her hand never left his bag. I think if I provoke her again, she will definitely take out the pistol from the bag..."

Mary was a little stunned, but still puzzled, "If you don't know her, how do you know about her in elementary school? Is it possible that what you just said is false?"

Speaking of guns, Mary had always wanted to get one to take with her, but due to his current status, he couldn't get one. Maybe Fujiwara could get one for her.

"This is the art of speaking, with a little adaptability. Of course, I have learned some information about her in advance, but today is really the first time I meet her. If it weren't for the purpose of introducing her to Mary, I wouldn't be able to do it rashly. Get to know her."

Mary was a little touched when she heard that she did this for her own sake, but she would not easily trust a man who could lie to others without changing his face, for fear that this sentence was also part of his plan.

Fujiwara encountered a red light and immediately started to slow down. After hearing about it, he said to Mary:
  "But how do you ask me to know this? All I can say is that I have super powers and I can read minds."

"Mind reading?" Mary almost fell down while sitting still. She stared with half-moon eyes, "Then guess what I'm thinking about now?" Mary firmly believed that Fujiwara didn't want to tell herself the truth, so he said such an unreliable thing. .

"I guess you must be thinking, 'Fujiwara must not want to tell me the truth, so he gave such an unreliable excuse,' right?"

Correct, word for word, completely correct.

Fujiwara confirmed his suspicion from Mary's shocked eyes, and proudly adjusted the angle of the rear mirror to align with Mary's face.

Mary gradually recovered from the shock. After realizing that she had been tricked, she couldn't help but laugh, "Guess what I'm thinking..."

Mary firmly believed that it was a coincidence and that Fujiwara could never have super powers.

(You will never guess this time...)
  Fujiwara looked at Mary who was competing with him in surprise, thinking that normally Mary would never compete with him over such trivial matters.

(What's going on today? Is she so excited? Could it be that while drug A makes a person smaller, it will also make her mind smaller?)

"Mary may think it was a coincidence. I can't guess your thoughts this time, right?"

Mary laughed after hearing this, but she laughed at herself for thinking such a childish thing so seriously.

"Hahaha…"

Fujiwara didn’t understand why Mary was laughing, but he also smiled.

"Ha ha……"

After returning to the office, Fujiwara and Mari went to their respective rooms.

After coming out of the shower, Fujiwara received a strange phone call. He was said to be from the Edogawa Rampo Annual Novel Selection Committee. His novel White Night Journey was selected as this year's best novel of the year.

"Really? It's not a prank, is it?"

After receiving repeated assurances from the other party, Fujiwara half-heartedly agreed to visit the event in three days.

After Fujiwara hung up the phone, Mary knocked on the door and walked in.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

"Can't I chat with you if I have nothing to do?" Mary said with a meaningful smile.

"Okay, but I'm not used to you being so unusual."

"Oh, okay. Can you help me with that?"

"Speak first. If you want me to take you to the United States to meet Shuichi Akai, I can't agree."

"Not this, that..."

The first time she asked someone for help, Mary felt uncomfortable. She put her hands behind her back in embarrassment and asked:

"I want to buy something..."

It was the first time that Fujiwara saw such a cute Mary, and he was a little distracted for a moment. His head was in a trance, as if he saw Haibara Ai.

"Buying a bag or clothes?"

"Buy a gun."

"gun?"

Fujiwara came to his senses, raised his chin and said in confusion:

"What do you want that for?"

"Self-preservation."

Fujiwara thought for a while and said he would pay attention.
