Conan: I don't do anything? If I really do it, you won't be happy.

Chapter 102: Bringing Xiao Ai to Meet Her Parents

While Keisuke was looking for Makoto Kyogoku, Conan was wandering aimlessly on the beach, still thinking about the case of the brown-haired girl he had seen.

Suddenly, he saw Kogoro Mouri lying on a beach chair, wearing a pair of beach sunglasses. Looking at the figure in front of him that was extremely similar to Keisuke, Conan's mouth twitched. "Or are you two father and son?"
"Hey! The scenery at the beach is really nice!" Kogoro Mouri pretended to sunbathe, but actually kept looking at the many beautiful women on the beach through his eyes behind his sunglasses, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.

"Dad!" Ran appeared smiling from next to Kogoro Mouri, bathed in sunlight.

Before Ran could speak, Kogoro Mouri hurriedly took off his sunglasses, shushed Ran, and said, "Keep your voice down, what if they find out I'm faking it!"

Upon hearing Kogoro Mouri's words, Ran put her hands on her hips, her good mood vanishing instantly, and asked speechlessly, "What do you mean by that!"

"What do you mean... Oh?" ​​Suddenly, Kogoro Mouri's eyes were drawn to the back of a beautiful woman not far away, and he called out to her, "Hey, you beautiful lady with a great figure, if you want to apply sunscreen, I'd be happy to help!"

Eri was searching for Teruyuki when she suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her and turned around in surprise.

Kogoro Mouri's lips twitched, and he asked in shock, "Eri? What are you doing here?"

“That’s what I wanted to say too!” Eri Kisaki frowned when she saw Kogoro Mouri.

Looking at the scene that matched her expectations, Xiaolan clasped her hands together, squinted her eyes, and happily exclaimed, "Wow! What a coincidence! You two are truly in sync! You even have the same thoughts!"

Kogoro Mouri turned to look at Ran, his face darkening, and asked her, "Ran, did you do this?"

"Huh? What?" Xiaolan's smile froze instantly, and she pretended not to know anything.

"They saw through it right away!" Conan's lips twitched as he saw this, revealing an expression that said, "I knew it."

So he immediately stepped forward, a look of surprise on his face, and said to Xiaolan, "Sister Xiaolan, you're here too!"

"Conan? What's that brat doing here? Wasn't he supposed to be on vacation with that Suzuki family heiress?"

Suddenly, Kogoro Mouri's face stiffened, and he looked at Ran with a startled expression: "Ran, could it be that those two rooms..."

Seeing that even Conan's intervention couldn't fool everyone and instead exposed the plan, Ran immediately lost heart.

Meanwhile, Sonoko, completely unaware of the situation, arrived at Ran's side as planned, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Ran, what a coincidence, you're here too!"

Upon seeing Sonoko, Ran gave Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki an awkward smile.

Sonoko wondered why Ran hadn't replied, so she continued, "To be honest, it's really hard for me to take care of those three children by myself. Why don't you come and help me?"

"Stop talking, Sonoko, stop talking!" Ran whispered to Sonoko, feeling the gaze behind her.

Hearing Ran's words, Sonoko looked at Ran in confusion and saw Conan covering his face and Kogoro Mouri with a dark expression.

"Ha, haha." Sonoko laughed awkwardly, then forced a smile and said to Ran, "Looks like you're still busy. Remember to come help me out tonight!"

After saying that, he turned and left, and sent a message in the "Parents' Reconciliation Battle" group, asking Huijie to come and save the day.

Having just finished chatting with Makoto Kyogoku, he sat down on a beach chair next to Ai Haibara. Before he could even close his eyes, he saw Ai place her phone in front of him. After reading the message, Keisuke sighed, then pulled Ai aside and said with a smile, "Perfect, consider it taking you to meet my parents!"

Ai asked with some concern, "But they're probably still angry right now, is it okay to tell them now?"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything!"

……

As soon as they saw Ran and her group from afar, Ai and Kogoro Mouri, who were looking away and not talking to each other, smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Don't be angry!"

"It was wrong of me to keep this from you and let you meet, but at least enjoy swimming in the sea here!"

"Right? Hey, hey, right?" Xiaolan looked at her parents on either side with great anticipation.

Kogoro Mouri glanced at Eri Kisaki, then turned his head to the side and said to Ran, "It was supposed to be wonderful, but it ended when she met some middle-aged woman who was still at the beach at her age!"

Upon hearing this, Eri Kisaki sneered, "Ha, but someone still showed a lecherous face to this middle-aged woman, and even made such vulgar and tasteless sounds!"

"You two, shut up a bit!" Ran said helplessly, trying to smooth things over. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she waved and called out, "Kousuke, Ai, over here!"

Upon hearing Ran's words, Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki both looked at Teruyuki.

"Why is that little girl from Professor Agasa's family here too?" Kogoro Mouri asked, somewhat puzzled, when he saw Ai Haibara.

Eri Kisaki said with a hint of sarcasm, "Ha, you really don't care about your son at all! It's a good thing you didn't let Teruyuki live with you all the time."

Ran looked at Ai and said to Kogoro Mouri, "By the way, Dad, you didn't know, did you? Ai is now Keisuke's girlfriend!"

"Girlfriend!?" This time, Kogoro Mouri ignored Eri Kisaki and looked at Teruyuki with surprise, saying with some admiration, "As expected of my son! He's truly a promising young man!"

Ai clearly hadn't expected her first meeting with the Terusaka family to be like this. But as expected, everyone accepted her presence without any problems.

Hui Jie squeezed Ai's hand and said with a grin, "See, I told you it would be fine!"

Seeing this, Ran suggested to Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki, "This is Ai's first time meeting you formally, why don't we all get together as a family later?"

Eri Kisaki glanced at Kogoro Mouri, nodded, and said, "I'm fine with it. This time, for Ai's sake, I'll agree to go with that man!"

"I'm the one who's like that! If it weren't for my daughter-in-law, I wouldn't be with a vicious woman like you!"

As a famous detective, Kogoro Mouri keenly sensed that Keisuke and Ai liked each other, so he immediately seized the opportunity and directly invited his daughter-in-law.

Upon hearing Kogoro Mouri's words, Ai's face flushed slightly, and she buried her head in Teruyuki's chest.

Seeing how cooperative Kogoro Mouri was, even bringing his daughter-in-law along, Huijie silently gave his father a thumbs up.
