Conan: The Heart Thief

In the eyes of the Suzuki family, only Hakuba Tan is worthy of Suzuki Sonoko. A top second-generation official and a top second-generation rich, a perfect combination of political and business collusion. The marriage between the Hakuba family and the Suzuki family will undoubtedly bring the power of both families to a higher level. Hakuba Tan is the right person for Suzuki Sonoko, and ordinary people like Lin Xiao should not be a toad wanting to eat swan meat.

Lin Xiao frowned. As the Phantom Thief of Hearts and the owner of the system, how could he be afraid of the Suzuki family? The reason why he was being polite was because Suzuki Tomoko was Suzuki Sonoko's mother.

"Mrs. Suzuki, are you threatening me?"

"It's not a threat, it's a suggestion. In return, the Suzuki family will compensate you."

"What compensation?"

Could it be that you, as a mother, are dating me instead of your daughter?

Lin Xiao thought so and it was indeed something he could consider.

Suzuki Tomoko chuckled and said, "Xiao Xiao, as long as you listen to me and cut off your relationship with Yuanzi, I will give you financial compensation."

"Mrs. Suzuki, are you kidding me?" Lin Xiao looked at Suzuki Tomoko unhappily. He was not the kind of person who could be bought by money.

Suzuki Tomoko was not angry, but remained kind and spoke her story.

"Xiao Xiao, don't be anxious, just listen to what I have to say...

When you graduate from high school, I can use the Suzuki family's connections to make it easy for you to enter any university of your choice in Tokyo.

After you graduate from university, I can arrange for you to work in the Suzuki family's company and make you a reserve cadre. It is also possible for you to enter the management level of the Suzuki family in the future.

How about it? With my help, your future is bright! "

Suzuki Tomoko described it vividly. If Lin Xiao was not a time traveler, he might have been bribed. After all, the world is too competitive these days. It is not easy to get into university, and it is even harder to find a good job.

Lin Xiao had a determined look on his face, with a hint of annoyance.

"Sorry, Auntie, I can't do this!"

"Huh? Why? Aren't the conditions I offered enough?" Suzuki Tomoko didn't seem to expect Lin Xiao to reject her. With such generous conditions, someone like Lin Xiao, who had no background, should definitely not be able to refuse.

"You want me to draw a line between me and Sonoko, which will definitely hurt Sonoko! You want me to hurt Sonoko, but I can't do it. Sonoko is my good friend, and I will never hurt a good friend."

Lin Xiao looked righteous as he denounced Suzuki Tomoko's despicable behavior.

Suzuki Tomoko felt ashamed when she heard this.

"You're right. If you really break up with Sonoko, she will definitely be hurt." Suzuki Tomoko thought about it and felt that Lin Xiao's words made sense. "Xiao Xiao, you can promise your aunt that you will never develop a super friendship with Sonoko."

"Mrs. Suzuki, I can't promise that."

Suzuki Tomoko got angry when she heard Lin Xiao's words. It seemed that all she had said for a long time was ignored?

"What do you mean? You have to date Sonoko, right? I'm telling you, even if you really date Sonoko, she won't marry you. You can only expect to be cheated on in the future."

"It's not that I have to fall in love with Sonoko. You are Sonoko's mother and I respect you. But you want me to promise you, on what basis? First you threaten me, and then you ask me to promise. Others are afraid of your Suzuki family, but I am not!"

Lin Xiao acted with an air of kingship and dominance, and Suzuki Tomoko was shocked, with her limbs becoming stiff.

Suzuki Tomoko is the queen of Japanese business, and no one dares to talk to her like this. It's too late to curry favor with her...

His eyes revealed domineering and confidence, without a trace of fear. He really didn't fear the power of the Suzuki family at all. It was so rare! Damn, I was fascinated by him!

Seeing Suzuki Tomoko staring at him in shock without saying a word, Lin Xiao left immediately...

Chapter 118 Master’s Mission

Lin Xiao returned to the dance, feeling exhausted. It was really hard to deal with the girls' parents.

When Suzuki Sonoko saw Lin Xiao appear, she immediately came forward and was more active than Lin Xiao.

"Eh?" Suzuki Sonoko stepped on her high heels and walked in front of Lin Xiao: "Mr. Lin, what did my mother say to you?"

"Your mother is worried that I will be in a relationship with you, and she reminded me not to have any improper thoughts about you." Lin Xiao told the truth directly.

"How could my mother talk to you like that?" Suzuki Sonoko was angry, even though she had expected it. "How did you answer her?"

"Of course I agreed. What else can I do?"

"Ahhh... Why is my mom like this? It's different from what we agreed."

"That's what your mother told you at the beginning."

"I am free to date now, but I will obey my family's arrangements for marriage in the future..."

Lin Xiao pondered that if he and Yuanzi were in love, he would not know whether he would cheat on Yuanzi's future husband or Yuanzi's future husband would cheat on him. It was really complicated.

"Your mother is just playing with you."

"That's not the case!" Suzuki Sonoko pouted, "You must have made my mom angry and made her dislike you."

"Sonoko, what do you want me to do?"

"Please my mother and I will make her like you."

"No, no... I don't have the ability."

Lin Xiao shook his head. He was not gold and not liked by everyone.

"Just think of it as doing it for me."

Suzuki Sonoko hugged Lin Xiao's arm, feeling shy.

"Even if I want to do it for you, I can't do it... How can you ask me to please your mother? Your mother and I are from two different worlds. There is no chance for us to have any contact."

"I'll find a way. I'll create space for you and my mom. You just need to find a way to make my mom like you."

Hearing this, Lin Xiao looked at Suzuki Sonoko's innocent and clear eyes and couldn't help but take a breath. I wonder what Suzuki Sonoko's father would think when he knew his daughter was so filial?

"Besides..." Lin Xiao said perfunctorily without comment.

"Lin Jun, please."

Suzuki Sonoko had a pitiful expression, as if she was going to cry if Lin Xiao didn't agree to pursue her mother.

"I got it."

Lin Xiao has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He gave in as soon as Suzuki Sonoko acted coquettishly.

"Lin Jun, you are the best."

Suzuki Sonoko hugged Lin Xiao and wanted to kiss him.

Lin Xiao ate a little at the party and planned to say goodbye to Yuanzi and go home.

At this time, Suzuki Tomoko came to Lin Xiao wearing an elegant and charming dress.

"Xiao Xiao, please dance with your auntie..."

"Eh?"

This was so abrupt that Lin Xiao was at a loss as to what to do.

"Xiao Xiao, Auntie doesn't mean to embarrass you. Are you angry with Auntie?"

"Do not……"

Lin Xiao was not really angry. As Sonoko's mother, Suzuki Tomoko cared about Sonoko's future life. Why should he be angry?

Yuan Zi, who was standing by, also urged, "Lin Jun, please promise my mom and behave well."

"Okay, Auntie."

Hearing Yuanzi's words, Lin Xiao subconsciously agreed.

After getting the answer, Suzuki Tomoko raised the corners of her lips and showed a charming smile. She saluted Lin Xiao gracefully and stretched out her hand. The deep ravines outlined by her dress could be seen. Undoubtedly, this graceful figure was quite plump and round.

Lin Xiao held Suzuki Tomoko's hand, walked through the crowd and headed towards the dance floor.

Grand pianists, violinists, bassists... The ballroom is filled with elegant music. This kind of music is classified quite finely and belongs to classical music for people of high taste.

Suzuki Tomoko took Lin Xiao's hand and swung it, and Lin Xiao turned around and danced with Suzuki Tomoko perfectly. The two danced gracefully, forming a beautiful picture on the dance floor. Not only was there a tacit understanding of the movements, but also the exchange of eyes sparked sparks, as if they were telling each other their feelings.

"Xiao Xiao, you dance very well. My original idea was to take you dancing. It seems that my worries were unnecessary." Suzuki Tomoko enjoyed the interaction with Lin Xiao.

"I just know some basics." Lin Xiao also felt good. Suzuki Tomoko gave him a warm feeling and she didn't have the airs of an elder at all.

Amidst the music, heat and soft lights, the two of them composed a perfect dance together and undoubtedly became the focus of the dance floor.

"Mrs. Suzuki is so elegant and beautiful."

"Who is the male dance partner? He's so handsome, is he a newcomer in the entertainment industry? He's so handsome, how can there be such a handsome man!"

"Are these two really a good match?"

Even Hakuba Tan and Suzuki Sonoko, the two male and female protagonists who should have been the focus, were impressed. Lin Xiao's duet with Suzuki Tomoko was light and graceful, attracting bees and butterflies. The other dancers around them completely became the green leaves supporting the red flowers.

"Wow, Sonoko, is that your mom?"

"Yes."

"Your mother is so beautiful... The two of you seem to be a perfect match, so romantic!" Bai Ba Tan praised sincerely. He even imagined the scene of him and Koizumi Hongzi dancing together.

"Hey, Bai Ma, what are you talking about? That's my mom!"

"Sorry. I just said what I felt." Bai Matan scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, "By the way, Yuanzi. Why aren't you dancing with Lin Xiao? Don't you like Lin Xiao?"

"Because this is the task I gave to Lin Xiao."

"Master's mission?"

"Yes."

At the party, Lin Xiao and Suzuki Tomoko were completely immersed in the party. Their hands touched accidentally, their faces were close at hand, and their breath brushed against their ears. When their eyes met accidentally, Suzuki Tomoko smiled happily, looking relaxed. This was completely different from her usual serious and unpretentious image as a business queen.

Suzuki Tomoko didn't know that Lin Xiao's cooperation was the task assigned to Lin Xiao by Suzuki Sonoko.

"Xiao Xiao, you are so handsome and capable. Auntie really likes you."

"Aunt Tomoko, you are also beautiful and capable..."

Lin Xiao was also fascinated by Suzuki Tomoko. Her beauty was even better than her two daughters. If Lin Xiao could be fascinated by his two women, there was no reason for him not to be fascinated by her.

"Xiao Xiao, do you have any feelings for your aunt?"

"Ah? I'm sorry..."

The laughter mixed with the music and disappeared together.

Suzuki Tomoko's whisper blended into it.

"You're such a fool."
