Conan: The Man Behind the Romance

Chapter 86 Let Xiaolan persuade her parents to divorce
"Help lawyer Fei strengthen her resolve when she shows weakness, and tell her that what she is doing is right and there is no need to regret it."

Yingsheng said, "For example, what we overheard at the Mika Central Hospital that night, Mr. Mao Li just said some soft words, and she surrendered. Alas, fortunately, she only went to assist the police in the investigation and did not fall into the trap again, otherwise it would be a pity."

Is my father really that bad?

Xiaolan hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Dad's words that day were quite sincere, and he mistook Miss Towako for his mother, so he hit her..."

"Stop!"

Yingsheng raised his hand to interrupt: "First of all, this is just his one-sided statement, and it has not been verified so far. Who knows if he is making excuses for himself? Secondly, you should look at the whole picture when looking at people and things. You can't just see his sincerity, what about the past and the present?
Even if that was not an excuse, there really was a mastermind targeting him. He went to Ginza to find Towako. Could it be that the mastermind tied him up and took him there?

He was so drunk that he was unconscious. Was someone forcing him to drink?
He mistook the nightclub mama-san for Lawyer Fei and started a fight with her. Could it be that someone was holding his hand and controlling him like a Street Fighter?
None.

I don't want to advocate the victim-blaming theory. The question is, can Mr. Maori really be considered a victim?

To be honest, Mr. Maori would be surprised if there was a mastermind behind the scenes, as he acted impulsively due to alcohol and sex to such an extent.

The chess piece was so useful that it far exceeded expectations, and it could be considered an accomplice.

And in the end, he didn't pay anything except the bail. Was he really harmed in any way?

By the way, the bail was paid by Attorney Fei."

At this point, Yingsheng couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, the more I watch, the more I feel sorry for Lawyer Hime. What on earth does she like about Mr. Maori? Xiaolan, why don't you adjust your goal and persuade Lawyer Hime and Maori..."

He paused, then raised his hands in surrender under Xiaolan's sudden sharp gaze: "Just pretend I didn't say anything."

Xiaolan sighed: "I'm sorry, what Shuiyue-kun said makes sense, but..."

She covered her face helplessly, "I had always wanted to persuade my parents to reconcile, but how come when I was talking to Shuiyue-kun, it turned out that persuading them to divorce was the best option? This is such a big turn of events, I really can't accept it for a moment."

Yingsheng smiled and said, "This is the difference between fake effort and real effort. As long as you stop being obsessed with self-satisfaction and actually want to solve the problem, your efficiency will be that high."

"That's not what I'm talking about."

"Oh, so, Xiaolan, you are really a hypocrite, right? It doesn't matter whether your parents are truly happy or not, as long as you are satisfied."

"..."

Xiaolan was speechless: "I just want to say, isn't there any way to have the best of both worlds? Mom and Dad still have feelings for each other, it's not really impossible to reconcile and find happiness on this basis."

"Innocent."

Yingsheng curled his lips: "Have you heard that distance creates beauty?

I told you before that human memory beautifies the past, washing away all the grit and leaving only pearls.

This is what they are like now. After separation, without the various minor frictions caused by trivial family matters, those original bright spots jump into their minds one by one, becoming more crystal clear with the polishing of time. In fact, it is completely different from the reality.

Do you know what white moonlight is?
The greatness of Bai Yueguang lies in the fact that even Bai Yueguang himself cannot compare to him.

What they are thinking about is no longer the specific other person, not the two people, Kisaki Eri and Mori Kogoro, but the shadow in their own hearts, the shadow of the beauty that once existed but has never really existed after the passage of time.

This kind of shadow cannot even project love.

Believe me, I have extensive experience in this area. " "…………"

Xiaolan was already crestfallen, but after hearing Yingsheng's last words, she raised her head again in silence: "Pretending to be the white moonlight in other people's hearts, is this Mr. Liuying's secret to becoming famous in the industry?"

Yingsheng shrugged: "That is indeed one aspect, but don't demonize it too much. It's just a communication skill that adds icing on the cake. Salespeople on the street use it.

In short, the feelings between them have faded a long time ago, and the so-called mutual affection is just self-deception. If you don't believe it, you can also arrange a party for your parents, let them have a meal together, go shopping or something.

If they could always live in peace, there would still be a chance for them to reconcile.

If they start arguing before they even finish their meal, I suggest they just get a divorce so that no one is bothered by the other. "

"Ugh……"

Xiaolan sighed and said with some lack of confidence: "Even if they have been separated for ten years and haven't divorced, is there really no possibility of getting along?"

Yingsheng was helpless: "I have said so much, you should have some judgment of your own, what do you think?"

"Ahhh-"

Xiaolan shook her head slightly upset, grabbed Yingsheng's arm, and said in a muffled voice: "I don't know."

Yingsheng brushed her hand away: "Do you really need me to burst your fantasy? This is not even cruel."

Xiaolan clasped her hands in front of her chest, her eyes full of hope: "Please! It would be great if this wasn't a fantasy! Shuiyue-kun has said so much, are you thirsty?" Xiaolan stood up: "What do you want to drink? I'll go buy it now!"

"..."

Yingsheng was speechless: "Let me ask you, have you ever seen a mechanical watch? Have you ever seen gears meshing?
When you encounter a gear set that can barely turn but stumbles, would you wait for it to run in for three to five years, so that all the edges and corners are smoothed out, and then continue to turn loosely, or would you just replace it with a more suitable one?

What's more, your parents worked closely together for eight years, but they still couldn't get along well. This undoubtedly shows that they are both people with strong personalities.

Lawyer Fei is better off. She was willing to give up her career and become a full-time housewife, which was already a big compromise.

But Mr. Maori, that's going too far.

Lawyer Fei just said on the phone that she knew that Mr. Maori shot her for her own good, but in the end, not only did he not explain, he didn't even offer a word of comfort. After she went home and endured the pain while cooking, Mr. Maori actually said that her cooking was terrible!

hiss--! ! !
The more I talk, the angrier I get. Sooner or later, I will force him to apologize to Lawyer Fei by pressing his head, and then feed him three pounds of stones to let him know what it means to be truly disgusting! "

"..."

Xiaolan looked up at the sky and said nothing.

"Ok?"

Yingsheng looked at it in confusion, "What does this mean?"

Xiaolan said in a sad tone: "Sometimes, stones are not that unpalatable."

Yingsheng was silent for a few breaths: "I was just talking about that, continue."
