Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 459 Why isn't my daughter Ai Haibara!

Time flies by.

Before they knew it, it was evening, and Kitahara Natsuhiro and his entourage arrived at Suzuki Manor in a grand procession.

Meanwhile, at Suzuki Manor, dinner had already been prepared, awaiting the arrival of Kitahara Natsuhiro and his group.

However, the head of the Suzuki family, Shiro Suzuki, is not at home today.

As the chairman of the Suzuki Zaibatsu, he has many things to deal with every day and is not as idle as portrayed in the original work.

He is still very busy, and in addition, he has to avoid his wife, so he is often not at home.

There's no way around it, I'm getting old, and my body just can't keep up!
"Second miss!"

Sonoko led the group, including Kitahara Natsuhiro, to the villa.

As they entered the villa, a row of maids stood there, bowing slightly to the crowd with respectful expressions.

"Maids, so many maids!" Enomoto Azusa exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise at the sight.

As an ordinary person, she had never seen such a scene before!
Although there are maid cafes outside, can the maids in maid cafes be as professional as those in the Suzuki family?

What's more, there are just too many maids here, all dressed in black and white maid outfits, and every single one of them is a beauty; it's truly a feast for the eyes.

"Is this what life is like for zaibatsu?" Enomoto Azusa couldn't help but sigh.

I'm so envious.

If she could, she would also like to enjoy this kind of life, so that she wouldn't have to be busy every day, and could just sit and eat, sit and play, and not have to do anything!

Of course, this was just her imagination.

Moreover, she is very satisfied with her current life.

Enomoto Azusa is easily satisfied.

"The scale of the Suzuki family is truly astonishing!" Akiko Yonehara exclaimed in amazement.

Although she had attended Suzuki family banquets before, this was her first time here, and she had never seen such a grand display before. It was truly extravagant!
"Hehe, pretty impressive, right!" Ai said with a grin.

Hearing this, Akemi Miyano said softly, "Tone it down, Ai. You might get caught up in this soon. Didn't you want to give your mother a surprise?"

She wholeheartedly supported this, since she had nothing better to do anyway.

What's more, this is a lot of fun, and it's with Shiho, which is just wonderful.

In some ways, she is also a sister-obsessed person.

However, in the original work, he is very prone to making foolish mistakes and often pushes his younger sister to the brink of despair, though a large part of this is due to being set up by others.

Fortunately, Shuichi Akai has already been given a minor punishment by Natsuhiro Kitahara, and he can't cause any trouble for the time being. In fact, we haven't heard any news about him in the underworld recently.

Many people thought Shuichi Akai was dead.

After all, Shuichi Akai is a celebrity, and his escape from the Black Organization's pursuit unscathed is something he can be proud of.

Unfortunately, this kind of person was completely ruined by Kitahara Natsuyu, but no one else knew about it.

“That’s right!” Upon hearing this, Ai immediately composed herself and imitated the expression she had seen before, pretending to be as cold as ice.

Seeing this, Ran, Akemi Miyano, and Akako Koizumi couldn't help but laugh.

Some things cannot be successfully imitated; there is a huge difference between the genuine and the pirated.

Whether Sonoko imitates Ai or Ai imitates Sonoko, they are very different. They are only similar in appearance, but their inner thoughts are completely different.

Therefore, at this time, 'Garden' dealt with the servants in the house according to the previously discussed plan.

“Yes, I’m back. These are all my friends,” Sonoko said softly.

Despite her cheerful and seemingly unrefined demeanor outside, Sonoko is quite reserved at home, even when dealing with the servants.

However, when she is in her own room, she still reveals her true nature.

It's just my nature, there's nothing I can do about it!
"Yes, Madam has already told us. She is currently waiting for you, Miss, at the restaurant." The head maid bent down and pointed in a certain direction.

Upon hearing this, Sonoko nodded and, led by the maid, walked towards the dining room.

Because the villa was so large, it took them quite a distance to get there.

Meanwhile, Suzuki Tomoko was sitting on the sofa in the dining room watching TV.

Yes, the restaurant has a TV, and not only a TV, but everything else is also provided, after all, this is the Suzuki family home.

You can't wrong yourself, no matter who else you wrong—that's the life of the rich!
"Sonoko, you're back." Tomoko Suzuki stood up as she looked at Sonoko, her face beaming with smiles.

However, Sonoko became somewhat silent after seeing the beautiful woman in front of her.

Logically, she should now call this beautiful woman "Mom," but she can't bring herself to do it.

After all, even her own mother had never heard her call her "Mom," let alone any other woman.

The person in front of you, Sonoko, is actually Ai Haibara working overtime. Sonoko is now working overtime as Ai Haibara, and the two have switched identities.

However, by now, Ai's identity should have been exposed.

There's no way around it, I just really can't bring myself to do it, there's nothing I can do about it.

"Ok?"

At this moment, Suzuki Tomoko also realized that something was wrong. The woman was unusually quiet today, not as lively as usual, and even her face looked a little off!
Suddenly, she spotted another girl in the crowd who looked just like Sonoko, and the expression on this girl's face was exactly the same as her own stupid woman's.

Thinking of this, she immediately realized what was going on and couldn't help but laugh and scold, "Yuanzi, you little brat, you actually dared to scheme against your old mother! Looks like you've been itching for a beating for a few days!"

"whee."

At that moment, Sonoko stepped out from the crowd, took Ai's arm, and said with a big smile, "Mom, look at us, don't we look like twin sisters? Aren't we exactly the same?"

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Tomoko took two steps back, crossed her arms, and carefully examined the two similar girls in front of her. She nodded and said, "They are indeed very similar. If I weren't your mother, I probably wouldn't be able to tell them apart either. They are just too alike."

"Right? They really look alike. Maybe Ai-neechan is related to our family!"

"A family relationship?" Tomoko Suzuki shook her head. "That's impossible. Don't I know our family's relatives well?"

She knew very well who her relatives were on her mother's side, but it was definitely not the girl in front of her. As for the Suzuki family's relatives, there were even fewer, only Suzuki Jirokichi.

Furthermore, Suzuki Jirokichi had no descendants.

That's why Sonoko was the one who ultimately took charge.

“However, this girl seems more like the eldest daughter of the Suzuki family, while you don’t at all!” Suzuki Tomoko commented. There was no way around it; Ai’s calm and collected demeanor really suited her taste. If Sonoko had half of this girl’s abilities, she wouldn’t have to worry about anything after she passed away.

She was genuinely afraid that Sonoko would squander the Suzuki family's fortune.

After all, Sonoko is really a fool, and a hopeless romantic. She likes every handsome guy she sees, and she doesn't even have a boyfriend yet, which is really worrying!

As for sending Sonoko on a blind date, that's even more impossible. What kind of behavior would it be for the young lady of the Suzuki zaibatsu to go on a blind date?
Moreover, arranged marriages should be between people of similar social standing, but as the heir, Sonoko naturally cannot go on arranged marriages with people of similar social standing.

Because the Suzuki family needs someone who marries into their family, not someone who is a good match in terms of social status and then takes over the Suzuki family.

Therefore, she needs an ordinary son-in-law, not some chaebol's son.

Kitahara Natsuyu was under consideration before, but unfortunately, he already had a girlfriend, and she was even a playboy, so she wasn't a good match!

"Sigh, why are you saying that too, Mom?" Sonoko's face fell immediately.

Xiaolan and the others had said the same thing before, but she didn't care. If it didn't seem like her, it didn't seem like her, because many people had said that about her, and Xiaolan wasn't the first person to say that.

However, it was really upsetting for her to hear such words from her own mother!
“You,” Tomoko Suzuki smiled and tapped her forehead lightly, “you’re just too impulsive. You’d be better off being more stable, just like this girl.”

"I'm very sorry, Sonoko likes to cause trouble, thank you for your help."

At this moment, she bowed slightly to Ai to express her gratitude.

Hearing this, Ai smiled and quickly said, "No, I really like Sonoko, and we're good friends. There's no trouble at all."

If she doesn't want to, even if Sonoko begs her, she won't agree.

And if it were the old her, she wouldn't have agreed either.

But now, she has been reborn. She wants to try things she didn't dare to do or couldn't do before, and experience more things that normal people can experience, so that she can make up for her many years of imprisonment.

Furthermore, she really envied Sonoko for having such a wonderful mother.

She has never seen her mother since she was born, and she can only see her mother's appearance and voice in photos and videos.

Suzuki Tomoko smiled when she heard this.

"It is truly an honor for my daughter to have friends like you."

It must be said that Tomoko Suzuki is very elegant and poised, and she does things in a proper manner. Sonoko is in this state now, and she definitely played a big part in it.

It can be said that having Tomoko Suzuki was a stroke of luck for the Suzuki zaibatsu.

If Tomoko Suzuki had been even slightly less capable, the Suzuki family might have been plagued by unrest.

After all, all of Tomoko Suzuki's children are girls, not a single boy, yet she still maintains a firm grip on the Suzuki family, which is truly remarkable.

Such a virtuous wife is beneficial to the Suzuki family.

In fact, Tomoko Suzuki deserves much credit for the Suzuki family's rise to this point.

After all, Tomoko Suzuki has been married into the Suzuki family for over twenty, almost thirty years.

Then, Ai exchanged pleasantries with Tomoko Suzuki.

During this exchange of pleasantries, Tomoko Suzuki grew increasingly pleased with Ai, even secretly wishing that Ai were her daughter.

I'd rather not have this stupid daughter of mine.

At this moment, Sonoko noticed that her mother looked at her with increasing disdain, and she shrank back, sensing that she was about to be scolded.

As for the reason for being scolded, it was probably because I gave my mom a surprise!

It's definitely not because I'm not as good as Ai-nee!

I never expected that Sonoko would run into someone else's child!

sad!
"Alright, let's take our seats!" Tomoko Suzuki invited everyone to sit down, and when she saw Natsuhiro Kitahara, she made a point of greeting him, saying, "Mr. Kitahara, thank you so much for last time."

“There.” Kitahara Natsumi smiled and said, “Sonoko and I are friends, so of course I would help her if she was in trouble. You’re too kind.”

"No matter what, it was a huge help to our family."

"If you need anything, just say the word. As long as it's within the Suzuki family's capabilities!"

In this world, there are very few things that the Suzuki family cannot do; they can do most things.

After all, with money, most things can be accomplished.

The Suzuki family has plenty of money, and they can't possibly spend it all!
"Okay, I will speak up if needed."

He doesn't currently have anything he's asking the Suzuki family to do, and even if he did, they might not be able to accomplish it.

After all, he's no ordinary person.

"That's good." Suzuki Tomoko nodded and led Kitahara Natsuhiro to his seat.

After they sat down, Akiko Yonehara whispered to her, "Mrs. Suzuki seems to care about you a lot, and isn't her age quite right for you?"

As Kitahara Natsuyu's first woman, she knew him all too well, and she was very clear about what he was thinking.

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsumi said sternly, "What are you talking about? Don't spout nonsense. I didn't mean anything by it. Don't slander me!"

"Besides, this is someone else's house. It wouldn't be good if she heard us!"

Can't you hear me?
I can't hear you!

Therefore, what Akiko Yonehara says will not be heard by others.

"."

Akiko Yonehara looked around and, finding no one looking in her direction, subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Forget it, I'm not going to say anything more. I don't want to get kicked out!"

“That’s more like it!” Kitahara Natsuhiro smiled.

Next, Tomoko Suzuki clapped her hands and then told the housekeeper to notify the kitchen that they could start cooking.

Because the timing was uncertain, she deliberately waited until everyone was present before instructing the kitchen to begin.

This way the food won't get cold.

These dishes don't taste good when they're cold.

As for today's dishes, they are naturally Chinese cuisine, which Kitahara Natsuhiro is most skilled at.

It's fair to say that Tomoko Suzuki really put in a lot of effort to express her gratitude to Natsuhiro Kitahara!
