Traveling back thirty years to Conan, intercepting Princess Eri

Chapter 118 Fujimine Ayako: Take safety measures

After waiting for more than ten minutes, a customer finally left. Fujimine Yukiko hurriedly led her parents and the middle-aged man to their seats. "What would you like to eat?"

"Didn't you tell us before that Mr. Lin is very good at Chinese cuisine?" Mr. Fujimine said with a smile, "Then let's have a few of his Chinese dishes. Remember, we're eating dishes made by Mr. Lin himself. Your cooking skills have long been pleasing to your mother and me."

"Dad, the store is very busy right now! How can Shuichi have the time to make food for you!" Fujimine Yukiko snorted, "I've decided for you, just three servings of curry rice!"

After saying this, she hurried away without waiting for her parents to reply.

"This girl!" Mr. Fujimine smiled bitterly.

"Now you understand what it means when a girl grows up, she can't be kept at home," Mrs. Fujimine chuckled.

The middle-aged man looked at the Fujimine couple talking with an envious expression on his face. He turned his head to look out the window and fell into deep thought.

After all, the Fujimine couple are Yukiko's parents. Although the girl said that there is no need to entertain them deliberately, Lin Xiuyi still specially fried two dishes, dry-fried shrimp and sweet and sour pork tenderloin.

Japanese people cannot eat spicy food, and these two dishes are more sour and sweet. They are also among the most popular Chinese dishes in Japan, so Lin Xiuyi does not have to worry that the Fujimine couple will not be able to get used to them.

After the dishes were cooked, he asked Yukiko Fujimine to bring them over.

The girl looked at the two dishes on the tray and was stunned for a moment: "Why are you so nice to them?"

"Aren't they your parents? It's only right that I entertain them," Lin Xiuyi urged. "Besides, it's just two dishes. Send them over quickly."

"Oh," Fujimine Yukiko responded helplessly, picked up the tray of food and walked towards where her parents were sitting.

Lin Xiuyi didn't know why her parents came, but Fujimine Yukiko herself knew it.

If these two dishes were served like this, and her parents misunderstood and thought that Lin Xiuyi was trying to please her father-in-law and mother-in-law, then she would really have no way to explain...

Sure enough, when Mr. Fujimine saw the two dishes his daughter brought to the table, he looked puzzled: "What is this? Didn't you say we should have curry rice?"

"I ordered this especially for you," Fujimine Yukiko explained hastily. Worried her parents wouldn't believe her, she added, "The money for the food will be deducted from my salary, so you won't have to pay for it later."

"Really?" Mrs. Fujimine's face was full of disbelief.

Mr. Fujimine next to him couldn't wait to take a bite and said, "Hmm, it tastes good, better than what big restaurants make."

"Let me try it," Mrs. Fujimine also picked up her chopsticks. "It tastes really good. I didn't expect Mr. Lin's cooking skills are so good."

"Of course Shuichi's cooking skills are good!" Yukiko Fujimine couldn't help but feel proud of her parents' praise.

"We didn't praise you!" Mrs. Fujimine said unhappily, "Why are you so happy?"

"I, I'm also part of the izakaya!"

Knowing that she had said the wrong thing, Yukiko Fujimine quickly took the tray and returned to the counter.

Mr. and Mrs. Fujimine looked at their daughter's back and couldn't help but smile at each other.

On Saturdays, Lin Xiuyi always extends the opening hours of his store, and today is no exception.

But at half past eleven, it was time to close.

Most of the guests had left, leaving only the Fujimine couple and the middle-aged man. Lin Xiuyi walked forward and prepared to say hello.

Yukiko Fujimine couldn't think of an excuse to stop him, so she could only follow with a bitter face.

"Uncle, aunt, do the dishes I cook suit your taste?" "Well, very good. Mr. Lin's Chinese food is better than those in Chinatown," Mr. Teng Feng praised.

Mrs. Fujimine, who was standing beside her, ignored her daughter's gaze and said with a hint of meaning, "Lin Jun, Yukiko is not young anymore. There are some things that we as a couple cannot interfere in. But we must pay attention to everything, especially safety... You should understand, right?"

What she meant by this was to remind Lin Xiuyi to take safety measures.

Yukiko Fujimine knew why her parents came and reacted immediately, her fair face turning red with embarrassment.

But when Lin Xiuyi heard this, he thought that the Fujimine couple was worried about their daughter's safety when she returned home at night after working, so he quickly said, "Don't worry about that. I will take good care of Yukiko."

Mrs. Fujimine thought he understood and nodded with a smile: "That's right, when you graduate in the future, you can ask for it..."

"Mom!" Fujimine Yukiko interrupted quickly, "It's almost time for you to leave!"

"Aren't we waiting for you?"

Mrs. Fujimine glared at her daughter in dissatisfaction, but Yukiko's interruption reminded her of another important thing.
"By the way, Mr. Lin, we came here tonight and we need your help with something."

"Please tell me," Lin Xiuyi said politely, "I will definitely help as long as I can."

"This is Otomo Hiroki, a friend of ours and a screenwriter," Mr. Fujimine introduced. "Six months ago, Hiroki's girlfriend suddenly disappeared, and they'd like you to help find her."

"Looking for someone?" Lin Xiuyi frowned. "Have you called the police? This kind of thing is easier for the police to handle."

"I called the police the first day Mio disappeared," Mr. Otomo sighed. "It's been six months, and there's still no news from the police."

"In the past six months, Guangshu has not only called the police but also sought help from many detectives, but unfortunately, nothing has been accomplished," Mr. Fujimine sighed. "Mr. Lin, if you have time, I hope you can help him."

"I have time next weekend," Lin Xiuyi thought for a moment, "if it's possible..."

"Then we'll do it next weekend," Mr. Fujimine decided for his friend. "Lin-kun, don't feel pressured. No matter what the outcome, Ayako and I won't blame you."

"please."

Mr. Otomo bowed to Lin Xiuyi, left his phone number, and then said goodbye.

"Hiroki is a very famous screenwriter in the industry," Mrs. Tengfeng reminded her, "If you can solve this problem, it will also be helpful to Yukiko's future acting career."

After saying this, the Fujimine couple took Yukiko with them and left.

Lin Xiuyi breathed a sigh of relief and was about to ask the rest of the people to clean up the dishes in the store when he saw Kisaki Eri staring at him with a cold face.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xiuyi asked in surprise, "I didn't make you angry, did I?"

"What did the curly-haired fox's mother mean by what she said just now?" asked Eri Kisaki.

"Isn't it just worrying about Yukiko's safety after get off work?" Lin Xiuyi said nonchalantly, "For parents, this is normal."

"Something doesn't sound right to me," Hibiki Eri snorted, "She seems to be worried about becoming a grandmother too early!"

"Grandma?" Lin Xiuyi was a little embarrassed. "What are you talking about? How is this possible?"

"How is it impossible?" Kisaki Eri said with a dark face, "When she said, 'Wait until you graduate, then...' What do you think she meant? And why did the curly-haired fox rush to interrupt?!"
