……

It is hard to imagine how much money it would cost to build such a luxurious manor in Tokyo, where every inch of land is valuable. This manor is like an alternative hidden in the steel forest of Tokyo.

That day, after school, Yuanzi brought Lin Xiao home alone, saying that her mother wanted to see Lin Xiao.

This was not the first time that Lin Xiao came to the Suzuki family, but when he saw the extremely luxurious house again, he still felt amazed. The gap between the nobles and the common people was like the Milky Way, which could never be crossed.

When he arrived at the Suzuki family's manor, Lin Xiao discovered that he was not the only guest. There were quite a few people, all of them unfamiliar faces.

"Yuanzi, you have quite a few guests at home."

"Because my mom threw a dance. That's the boring daily life of a rich old woman."

Yuanzi took Lin Xiao to a room in the house and gave him a suit to change into.

"Change your clothes, and you'll be with me later."

"Is it necessary to put on a suit?"

"Is such that."

Sonoko shrugged and left.

After Lin Xiao changed into a suit, Yuanzi came over again. However, she had changed into a red dress, which was noble and elegant, and she really looked like a rich lady.

"Yuanzi, you look so beautiful." Lin Xiao felt fascinated. As long as a girl has a good foundation, she can look super beautiful with a little dressing up.

"Lin Jun, you are also very handsome." Yuanzi took the initiative to hold Lin Xiao's hand, "My mother will definitely think we are a good match when she sees us together."

"Speaking of which, Sonoko, why on earth does your mother want to see me?"

"This...I don't know either..."

Then, the two of them went to the dance party held by the Suzuki family. The people who attended the dance party were either rich or noble, a gathering of the so-called upper class in Japan.

The sound of footsteps overlapped with the bass of the dance music that shook my body. Many people gathered in the middle of the dance floor, and the hall was shrouded in heat. From the sidelines, it was an unprecedented grand occasion.

Among the crowd of people dressed up in their best, in a corner of the dance floor, at the corner of a long table with caterers and drinks, a handsome blond man walked up to Lin Xiao.

"Are you the high school detective from Tokyo, Lin Xiao?"

"Yeah. I am."

"Nice to meet you." The blond handsome guy showed a charming and self-righteous smile, "I'm a high school detective from the UK."

Before the blond handsome guy revealed his identity, Lin Xiao had already guessed who he was.

"So it's you, Hakuba Tan."

"Huh? You actually know me. I'm so famous that even you who are far away in Tokyo know me."

Bai Ma Tan couldn't help but feel proud.

"Lin Xiao, I didn't expect to meet him in a place like this." Bai Ma Tan felt like he had met a close friend. Then, he set his sights on Yuan Zi, who was holding his hand, and suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. You and Yuan Zi have that kind of relationship."

"What kind of relationship is it?" Lin Xiao asked with narrowed eyes.

Bai Ma Tan said, "You're asking anyway, you know it, you're boyfriend and girlfriend? You don't have to play dumb, I can tell at a glance."

"It's not..." Lin Xiao wanted to explain.

However, Suzuki Sonoko directly admitted: "Hakuba Tan, you can see that I already have a boyfriend. You should talk to your dad right away, so that he won't let you and my dad get together randomly."

"What?" Lin Xiao was confused.

Bai Ma Tan patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder and said, "Actually, Miss Suzuki and I are the protagonists of this dance. But don't worry, I have someone I like in my heart."

"I finally understand." Lin Xiao shook his head. Marriages in the upper class circles are all about various interests.

Sonoko continued to say to Hakuba Tan: "Hakuba Tan, are you listening to me? Can you please explain things to your father? This is just a farce."

Bai Matan looked helpless: "Children are nothing more than tools in the eyes of adults. I have already made it clear to my father, but he doesn't care about my opinion at all."

Yuanzi felt the same way, and then she said to Lin Xiao in a serious tone: "Lin Jun, listen to me, I will never accept the person my family arranges for me, no matter who it is, I will not accept it!"

Lin Xiao pretended to be stupid and said, "Yuanzi, there's no need to emphasize this to me."

Yuanzi blushed and said, "Lin Jun, don't you understand? In my heart, there is only you——"

Just as Sonoko was waiting for Lin Xiao's response, Sonoko's mother, Mrs. Suzuki, came over.

"Yuanzi, this must be your good friend Lin Xiao whom you often mention."

"Yes, Mom." Sonoko turned around and responded.

"You are indeed handsome and talented. No wonder Yuanzi likes you."

A refreshing and gentle voice was heard, and Lin Xiao followed the voice and saw a beautiful woman with short hair in front of him.

She was wearing a purple dress, black high heels and expensive jewelry, a lady of elegance and beauty.

Her facial features are somewhat similar to those of Sonoko and Ayako, but she is prettier than them. The power of money has prevented the years from leaving any traces on her face and body.

It is hard to imagine that a mother with two daughters, her eldest daughter has graduated from college and her second daughter is in high school, can still be so beautiful. It is really amazing.

While Lin Xiao was observing Mrs. Suzuki, Mrs. Suzuki was also observing Lin Xiao.

At just one glance, Mrs. Suzuki was deeply attracted to Lin Xiao. Just like her two daughters, they fell in love with Lin Xiao the first time they saw him. The boy's eyes were clear without a trace of impurities. Mrs. Suzuki suddenly felt like she wanted to fall in love, a feeling she had never experienced before.

After all, she and Suzuki Shiro were in an arranged marriage in the old days, and she had never tasted love, but the appearance of the boy made her want to fall in love. She was already 43 years old, but she had never experienced love. She thought she would never have the impulse of love again, but today she fell in love with a boy at first sight.

Yuanzi patted Lin Xiao's hand, frowned and said, "Xiao, stop staring at my mother. It's so rude."...

"Ah? Sorry." Lin Xiao recovered and greeted Suzuki Tomoko, "Auntie, hello. I am Sonoko's classmate, Lin Xiao."

"Hehe... Mr. Lin, you were staring at your aunt just now. Were you scared by your aunt's aura?" Suzuki Tomoko covered her mouth and chuckled.

"No, Auntie is so beautiful that I was attracted to her at once." Lin Xiao said embarrassedly.

"Eh? Really? Mr. Lin, you really know how to talk." Suzuki Tomoko responded in a daze. She didn't expect Lin Xiao to be so bold. After all, it was really inappropriate for a junior to say such things.

Yuanzi narrowed her eyes and said, "Mom, what Lin Jun said is not just a polite remark, he is probably serious."

Sonoko recalled that Lin Xiao had the same expression when he faced Aunt Yukiko.

"Oh, Sonoko, you make me feel so embarrassed when you say that." Tomoko touched her hot cheeks. As the saying goes, like mother, like daughter, the man that the daughter likes, the mother also likes.

"Hehe——" Suzuki Sonoko actually hoped that her mother would like Lin Xiao, so that her mother would not object to her being with Lin Xiao. Because Sonoko's father, Suzuki Shiro, married into the Suzuki family, the opinion of Sonoko's mother, Suzuki Tomoko, was very important.

Suzuki Tomoko said, "Sonoko, don't stand here. Your dad wants you to go over. Lin Xiao can be entertained by his mother."

Yuanzi said "Oh" unhappily, then said hello to Lin Xiao and went to the stage.

Suzuki Tomoko then said to Hakuba, "Hakuba, your father is coming here today, so you should go over there with Sonoko."

"Yes, Auntie." After saying that, Bai Ma Tan quickly caught up with Yuanzi.

Lin Xiao finally understood why the Suzuki family suddenly invited him to be their guest. This was clearly a warning to him that the daughter of the Suzuki family was not worthy of an ordinary person like him. Only a top official second-generation like Bai Ba Tan was worthy of being the good son-in-law of the Suzuki family.

Chapter 117 Lin Xiao’s domineering attitude overwhelms Mrs. Suzuki

Suzuki Tomoko was very polite, like an elegant lady. She bowed and said kindly:

"Xiao Xiao, thank you for taking care of our useless daughter Yuanzi."

"Xiao Xiao?"

"Are you not satisfied with being called aunt?"

"No. I don't mind. Just feel free to do as you please."

"Xiao Xiao, Auntie wants to talk to you alone about something. Is that possible?"

"Of course you can, but what does Auntie want to talk to me about?"

"It's about my daughter Sonoko."

"I see."

Lin Xiao sighed softly, it was just as he thought.

Tomoko Suzuki brought Lin Xiao to a chic study room where there were only two of them.

Tomoko Suzuki asked Lin Xiao to sit down and even made him some black tea. It must be said that Mrs. Suzuki had a graceful figure and elegant manners, and her every move while making tea was so pleasing to the eye.

"Xiao Xiao, please."

"Thank you, you're welcome, Auntie."

"Xiao Xiao, I want to know if my daughter Yuanzi is dating you."

"No, Sonoko and I are just good friends."

"But I heard some different voices."

"That must be a rumor."

"is it?"

Seeing Suzuki Tomoko's puzzled look, Lin Xiao explained: "Auntie, I know myself well. I know that I am an ordinary person and not worthy of your daughter. Don't worry, I know my limits."

When Lin Xiao pointed out what she was thinking, Suzuki Tomoko smiled slightly with some embarrassment.

"Xiao Xiao, you are such a good kid. If you can become my daughter's future husband, she will definitely be very happy."

"Alas..." Suzuki Tomoko complimented Lin Xiao, and then sighed again and again, "As the daughter of the Suzuki family, you have enjoyed the glory and wealth, and you must bear the responsibilities of the daughter of the Suzuki family. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Sonoko, she also has to shoulder the responsibility of family marriage."

Lin Xiao felt amused when he heard Suzuki Tomoko's words. This was just a means used by a group of superiors to maintain their upper-class status. People seek benefits and avoid harm, which is understandable. Although it is understandable, there is no need to say it so gloriously.

This reminded him of an incident in the Samsung Group in South Korea. Samsung Group is the most powerful chaebol in South Korea. The youngest daughter of the head of Samsung Group fell in love with an ordinary Korean. Due to obstacles from her family, the youngest daughter was forced to commit suicide. The ordinary Korean was also forced to never return to South Korea and settle in the United States. The current situation is exactly the same.

Lin Xiao said: "Auntie, you don't have to say it, I understand. Yuanzi is my good friend, I won't make things difficult for her."

After hearing Lin Xiao's generous words, Suzuki Tomoko admired Lin Xiao even more, and thought that Sonoko also had good taste.

Suzuki Tomoko said with emotion: "Xiao Xiao, you are so sensible. The more I see you, the more I like you."

"If Auntie specifically wanted to warn me, I have received the warning."

Lin Xiao stood up and prepared to leave.

"stop."

Suzuki Tomoko suddenly changed the subject: "That's not enough. Because of you, Sonoko is very resistant to all the arrangements made by the Suzuki family. I hope Xiaoxiao, you can completely draw a line between you and Sonoko! If you can't do it, the Suzuki family may let you transfer to another school."
