"Although I am old, I am not deaf. You are clearly at the seaside!"
"With that loud sound of the waves, I bet you've gone too far playing at the beach!"
Lai smiled helplessly: "I was at the beach, but not for sightseeing. I was accompanying someone, a woman with a serious illness. I was afraid she might do something rash and commit suicide by jumping into the sea."
After speaking, Dujiang Qingling sat silently on the sofa on the other end of the phone, his dark and piercing eyes fixed on the property certificate on the living table.
The property certificate is printed with eleven large characters: "Tokyo Sakura Villa No. 10".
After a moment of silence, he sighed softly and said, "In that case, you can go again tomorrow. I'll let you know for me."
Upon hearing this, Lai breathed a sigh of relief and said gently, "Thank you, old man."
Don't give me that!
The phone transmitted a rebuttal from the Qing Dynasty's attempt to cross the river to the Qing Mausoleum.
Fearing something might happen to him, he sternly warned, "Be careful, don't go too close to the deep part of the beach, or I'm afraid you'll end up in the news tomorrow."
After saying that, she hung up the phone decisively, not giving him any chance to reply.
Lai glanced at the words "Call Ended" displayed on his phone and shook his head, saying, "What a hypocritical old man."
He put his phone back in his pocket, turned around, and saw Mai Sakurajima twisting her waist and bending over to make strange movements.
There were shoulder shrugs, waist twists, head turns, and foot shifts—in short, all sorts of strange postures.
He kept repeating, "One, two, three, four, two, two, three, four, three, two, three, four, one more time."
Lai Jingjing watched her sway her ample hips and asked curiously, "Are you practicing turtle boxing?"
Sakurajima Mai stopped her hip movements, glared at him, and said, annoyed and embarrassed, "You're the one doing turtle-style punches! This is just my post-meal exercise to aid digestion."
Upon hearing this, Lai thought to himself, "It sounds just like Turtle Fist! Instead of aiding digestion after a meal, practicing Five Animal Frolics is much better. Not only does it help with digestion, it can also strengthen the body and prolong life."
Of course, this is just talk; it's a secret method that's not passed down through generations.
Mai Sakurajima stepped forward, tilted her head back, and asked, "What are you muttering about?"
“I didn’t mutter anything.” Lai shook his head, then, thinking about the purpose of this trip, asked, “What are we doing here? You wouldn’t say before, but you can tell me now, right?”
Just as the questioning was taking place, a black women's sedan slowly pulled into the parking space on the ground.
Mai Sakurajima, with her keen eyesight, spotted the familiar car above.
"It seems she's here."
Lai followed her gaze and saw a mature woman in a gray business suit step out of the car, followed by a lawyer.
His face looks somewhat similar to pork belly, but his temperament is different.
Mai Sakurajima's demeanor is too youthful, as if she's in her prime, while the mature woman walking towards her exudes the air of a seasoned woman.
"Who is she?" Lai asked, puzzled.
Mai Sakurajima watched the older woman descend the stone steps and said calmly, "She is my manager, and also my birth mother."
“I was the one who invited her here. Based on the method you mentioned yesterday, I decided to return to the entertainment industry because I suspect that the incident may have caused me to develop this strange illness.”
"But I need her permission before I can return to the entertainment industry because I'm changing agencies."
Upon hearing this, Lai had a sudden thought: the mother and daughter must have some kind of melodramatic family drama.
As for why I'm so sure, it's because I saw that Mai Sakurajima looked at her mother in a very different way.
There is a kind of indifference, so indifferent that it makes you feel like they are just a superficial mother and daughter, without any affection between them, as if they are just tools to benefit each other.
Seeing the aggressive manner of the other party, Lai looked at Sakurajima Mai with worried eyes.
"Are you really alright? Your mother seems a little impatient."
"It's alright. If she can't see me, you can translate and explain for me." Mai Sakurajima walked up to him, leaving behind a remark that made Rai feel extremely awkward.
"After we finished our business, we continued with our previous fake date routine."
Lai glanced at the approaching mature woman and thought to himself, "Her mother probably doesn't consider me her daughter's boyfriend, right?"
Mai Sakurajima's mother stood on the sand, her dark blue eyes scanning the surroundings to see who had invited her.
Upon seeing the tall, slender figure obscured in front of her, she beckoned her lawyer to come up with her.
Lai followed in Sakurajima Mai's footsteps to see if her mother could see her.
Suddenly, Mai Sakurajima stopped and looked calmly at her mother who was walking towards her.
She stopped, but her mother did not, passing through her daughter's body in Lai's sight as if it were an illusion, transparent.
"You're kidding me, right?" Lai stopped in his tracks, his pupils constricting, somewhat unable to believe what he was seeing.
He just walked right through it?!
Chapter 89 Things got really bad
Mai Sakurajima watched as her biological mother passed through her body, her face pale as she turned away.
His dark blue eyes widened in disbelief and fear.
The condition has worsened to the point where the body has become like a soul?
Mai Sakurajima's mother walked up to Lai, looked up, and gazed at the tall, slender man before her.
Her arms were casually crossed over her chest, exuding the aura of a powerful woman.
Did you call me here?
"who are you?"
"What's the matter?"
Lai took a breath to calm himself down from the ghostly scene he had just witnessed, and said, "My name is Lai. I am a student at Lifengyuan Higher Academy. I am currently a second-year student in Class 1. I am the junior of Senior Sister 'Mai'."
Emphasize the words "Mai" to see if her birth mother reacts.
Things didn't go as planned; her mother didn't react at all, as if nothing had happened.
She raised her delicate eyebrows and asked uncertainly, "Who is Mai?"
Mai Sakurajima, standing behind her, staggered backward, her delicate face as white as a cloud, utterly devoid of color.
Lai stared at her birth mother, seeing that she wasn't pretending, but the raised eyebrows proved that she really didn't recognize the person.
Looking away from Sakurajima Mai, he realized that things had become far more complicated than he had imagined.
Sakurajima Mai's mother looked Lai up and down, noticing his black baseball cap and mask, and asked uncertainly, "Your name is Lai?"
"Aren't you the student who helped Tateminehara defeat Hyakkaou Gakuen?"
Lai was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized what she meant and replied, "It should be me, since I'm the only one with that name in Lifeng Plain."
Upon hearing this, her mother asked with great interest, "Are you interested in becoming a star?"
"I just observed your appearance, and you're definitely a male model. If you're interested in becoming a star, I'll definitely make you a superstar!"
Lai blinked, pointed to herself, and said, "Are you sure you want to make me a star?"
"Confirmed!" Mai Sakurajima's mother nodded emphatically.
"You probably don't know how popular you are right now. Let me tell you for sure, the entire Japan knows you!"
"If I were to make some further improvements, you would definitely be more popular than that village!"
Lai smiled bitterly, his eyes looking helplessly at Sakurajima Mai's mother.
It's so frustrating; she actually asked the chairman of Moonlight Entertainment to be a star.
That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous.
If I were to become that person, I wonder what Bell, that tool-like guy, would think. He'd probably be laughing his head off.
They mocked themselves for having such a large company but choosing to become celebrities who constantly appear in public.
Upon seeing this, Lai shook her head and refused, saying, "I'm sorry, ma'am, I refuse. I have no intention of becoming a star."
Her mother raised an eyebrow and said, "You don't want to be a star, so why did you ask me out?"
At this moment, her tone was more impatient and displeased.
People come all this way, do you think you just want to see me?
Lai pretended not to hear her mother's impatient tone and said calmly, "Madam, I asked you to come out because I have a question to ask you."
Mai Sakurajima's mother nodded in confusion, indicating that she should ask.
Lewin asked in a low voice, "My question is, have you ever had children, or daughters, or anything like that?"
Sakurajima Mai's mother suddenly took a step back, her hands defensively covering her ample chest, and warned sharply, "What nonsense are you spouting? When have I ever been married, or given birth to a child!"
"If you continue spouting nonsense, I have the right to send you a lawyer's letter!!!"
Lai ignored the lukewarm warning and quietly observed her mother's panicked expression, confirming that she wasn't faking it.
Has the public forgotten the existence of Mai Sakurajima, a well-known actress?
not good!
Lai suddenly realized something and, in a moment of panic, grabbed her mother's left wrist.
Her mother blushed with shame and anger, screamed in panic, struggled frantically, and kept hitting him with her right hand.
Lai let her pat him, anxiously saying, "Take out your phone, I need to check the email asking you out, it's crucial for me."
But her mother wouldn't listen at all, and started hitting her while shouting.
"Bastard, let me go..."
"I will definitely make sure you receive a lawyer's letter, I promise!"
"Ahhh, let me go...!"
Her panicked cries alerted the lawyer in front of her and Mai Sakurajima, who was contemplating suicide.
"enough!"
Overwhelmed with grief, Mai Sakurajima ran up and threw herself into Rai's arms to stop his rude actions.
Lai realized she had become agitated, and apologetically released her mother's hand, looking down at the pitiful and helpless girl in her arms.
"Pork belly..."
