Ke Xue: Xiaolan delivers goods to your door at the beginning

Since she hadn't done nothing, she felt relieved.

Seeing the two getting closer and closer as they talked, almost sticking together, Hiromi Yabuuchi, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but roll her eyes.

She dares to show affection in such a public place; if you told me there wasn't something going on, I wouldn't believe it even if you beat me to death!

Seeing that the two were still whispering to each other, Hiromi Yabuuchi spoke up:

"Ahem, Yukiko, why don't you come with me to check how the firewood is burning?"

"I'm a little scared to go out alone."

If we don't separate the two of them soon, people will probably start to have doubts.

Although those present

These are all her family members, but they don't have a childhood friendship with Yukiko.

Hiromi Yabuuchi couldn't bear to see her celebrity friend, who had been famous for over a decade, being gossiped about.

Unexpectedly, Yukiko, who was engrossed in her analysis with Lin Xiaofeng, turned around with a puzzled look on her face.

"Guangmei, weren't you never afraid of ghosts and spirits when you were little?"

"How come the older I get, the more I seem to regress?"

"..."

Hiromi Yabuuchi gritted her teeth and said, "You don't know, I only started being afraid of ghosts in the last few years!"

Yukiko stood up helplessly, shook her head and said, "Honestly, Hiromi, you really are someone I can't trust. I don't know how you usually live."

Hiromi Yabuuchi took her hand and walked towards the door.

"Yukiko, stop worrying about all that and come with me!"

"If we don't leave now, the water will evaporate!"

Yukiko quickly followed her, "What? Water doesn't evaporate that easily..."

.......

543. Two large, round, and plump lumps of fat

Upon entering the room specifically used for adding firewood to boil water, Yukiko stood to the side, crossed her arms, and complained, "Hiromi, why did you drag me here? Can't you see I was chatting with Kaze?"

Hearing this, Hiromi Yabuchi instantly flew into a rage, glaring at her and saying, "Wasn't I just trying to cover for you two? Yukiko, you're not even divorced yet. What will happen to your reputation if word gets out?"

Yukiko's temper vanished instantly, and she walked over with an embarrassed smile to massage Hiromi Yabuuchi's shoulders: "Hiromi, I only talked so much with Kaze at the dinner table because of you, please forgive me."

"Okay. I forgive you."

Hiromi Yabuuchi threw another bundle of firewood into the roaring fire, looked up, and called out to Yukiko, who was separated by a wall, "Yukiko, how's the water temperature now? Is the bath a little too hot?"

Soon, Yukiko replied, "The temperature is just right, Hiromi, you can stop adding firewood now."

in the bathroom.

Yukiko's delicate hands swam in the hot water as if she were scooping up fish.

However, due to the temperature, she had to stretch out and switch hands after swimming for a while.

"Yukiko, you really have a childlike heart. I wish I could be like you."

Hiromi Yabuuchi's voice came from the doorway.

Yukiko continued playing in the water without looking up, and said with a smile, "You can do it too, as long as you have an affair with a young man like me."

"I don't want to cheat on you. I'm different from you. We have a loving and harmonious marriage. I met my husband; it was all fate."

Yukiko stood up and stretched leisurely, her breathtakingly perfect figure causing Hiromi Yabuuchi to look down at her. The attack was incredibly effective!

Seeing this, Yukiko smiled slightly, "Hiromi, let's go back first, it's too hot here."

"……hateful!"

Guangmei got angry and deliberately showed off her two lumps of fat, which were soft, big, and plump – something to be envied!

……

When the two returned to the room, the rest of the people had already finished eating.

Yabuuchi Yoshiyuki sat on the other side of Lin Xiaofeng and talked to him, his eyes constantly shining.

Hiromi Yabuuchi knelt down and said, "Uncle Yoshifusa, the water is ready. You can go and wash now."

Yabuuchi Yoshifusa nodded. "Thank you so much, Hiromi."

After he finished speaking, he and Carlos behind him stood up together.

Yukiko said with a strange expression, "Uncle Yoshifusa isn't going to go into that little bath with this Carlos, is he...?"

Hiromi Yabuchi said helplessly, "How could that be? Among us, only my uncle and stepmother like to bathe in the public bath. We usually bathe in our own rooms."

“These days, every time Uncle Yifang goes out for a bath, he has his bodyguards watch over him here. Now that I think about it, it's probably because he's afraid we'll do something to him.”

"Oh, so that's it."

Yukiko nodded.

Just then, the phone rang again.

Upon hearing the noisy background noise, Hiromi Yabuuchi immediately recognized the other person. "Oh, it's Second Aunt. Is there anything else?"

"How's it going? Guangmei, did you find the firewood for the bathhouse? Several classmates who haven't shown up before actually showed up today. I think we might not be back until after 11 o'clock this time."

"Could you please keep the water in the bathtub warm for me, Guangmei? I drank a bit too much tonight, and I'll probably need to take a good bath before I can fall asleep."

Hiromi Yabuuchi nodded helplessly: "I understand, don't worry, Auntie."

After hanging up the phone, Hiromi Yabuuchi knew she was in for a rough night. In this old house, the so-called insulation meant that people had to add firewood every now and then. To prevent burns from excessive heat, the firewood couldn't be thrown in all at once; it had to be added in several batches.

Seeing her utterly dejected expression, Yukiko asked in confusion, "Does the Yabuuchi family still use this method of boiling water?"

"With your family's wealth, Guangmei, buying a luxury villa shouldn't be a problem at all, right?"

Hiromi Yabuchi sighed, "When Dad was a child, he was locked in the woodshed for a day and a night for making a mistake. Ever since then, he has especially liked locking himself in there. Until Dad got sick, he was the one who heated the hot water in our house, but after that, my older sister took over."

Lin Xiaofeng frowned slightly. It was already somewhat unusual for a family to have no servants, but for the head of the household to personally boil water made things seem even more absurd.

Lin Xiaofeng asked, "Did Mrs. Yabuuchi attend class reunions before? Did Mr. Yoshichi personally help keep the hot water warm when she went to the reunions?"

Hiromi Yabuchi didn't know why he asked that question, but she nodded and said, "That's right, Dad used to help Aunt boil water too."

“I didn’t know before, I thought it was just about throwing firewood in, until I took over and realized how complicated it was.”

"This is also an important reason why we are willing to accept our second aunt."

"The fact that Dad treats Second Aunt like this means he must love her very much. There's no point in us objecting anymore."

Lin Xiaofeng nodded thoughtfully, "I see..."

Seeing that he seemed to have discovered something, Yukiko immediately pulled him up, blinked, and said, "Hiromi, I think Xiaofeng also wants to go back to take a shower, so I'll go back with him first."

"Let's sit down and chat together after we've finished showering."

"..."

Hiromi Yabuuchi stared blankly at her.

Lin Xiaofeng was clearly talking to her the whole time, when did he ever say he wanted to take a shower?

Even if you're just spouting nonsense, you need to find a suitable reason!

Lin Xiaofeng, who had been pulled up, nodded sensibly. "That's true. Let's talk about it later."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yukiko eagerly pulled him towards the door.

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Hiromi Yabuuchi muttered to herself, "Honestly, we already used up the hot water for all six of us this afternoon, was it really necessary to take another shower...?"

544. He's done too many immoral things.

Having just led Lin Xiaofeng by the hand to the side hall, Yukiko, her eyes shining with anticipation, couldn't help but ask:

"Xiao Feng, have you found any clues?"

"You just asked Guangmei about the woodshed. Is there something suspicious about that woodshed?"

Lin Xiaofeng nodded and said, "I do feel that the room is a bit strange, but we need to investigate it further."

"I've never been to the woodshed here before, so I'll have to trouble you, Yukiko, to take me there."

"Search?"

Yukiko's eyes shone even brighter, "I'm a professional in this area!"

"Don't forget who it took to find that photo this afternoon."

Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but smile. "I didn't say you couldn't come along, Yukiko. Time is limited, and we must act without disturbing the rest of the Yabuuchi family."

In this situation, leaving her alone outside would be dangerous.

Yukiko nodded in satisfaction, took his hand again, and said with a smile, "Then come with me. Uncle Yoshifusa should still be looking for clothes in his room. We can sneak in and take a look."

……

Just like Yukiko said.

Yabuuchi Yoshifusa, who was about to take a bath, was not yet ready.

The woodshed, separated from the bathhouse by only one wall, was filled with the crackling sound of burning firewood.

The room was pitifully bare, with almost nothing except for a hole for throwing firewood.

Just a moment ago, Yukiko was full of enthusiasm, but the optimism on her face vanished the moment she stepped inside. She frowned slightly and asked, "Is there really any clue here?"

"Compared to the Yabuuchi family's warehouse, there are no tables or other items here to set up secret doors for hiding things."

"The secret door couldn't possibly be hidden where the firewood is stored, could it..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng's eyes suddenly turned to the firebox, as if he could see something unusual inside through the raging flames.

But the next moment, he heard the heavy footsteps of Yabuuchi Yoshifusa.

Lin Xiaofeng immediately looked away and addressed Yukiko:

"Yoshifusa Yabuuchi is here. Let's go back to our rooms first, otherwise it won't be good if someone with ulterior motives notices this place."

Nozomi Arisaki sighed, "Well, that's all we can do now. It's just a pity we haven't found anything useful here..."

……

When Lin Xiaofeng and Yukiko returned to the living room after taking their third shower of the day, only three men were left staring at each other.

Hiromi Yabuuchi and her sister-in-law Keiko Yabuuchi are preparing dishes in the kitchen.

The two Yabuchi members, one of the three, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that someone had finally arrived. The black bodyguard didn't speak Japanese at all, so even if they wanted to get closer to him, they couldn't. But deliberately ignoring him and chatting amongst themselves was also unlikely.

Because once there were fewer people, this big, dark-skinned man stood out even more, and was even a little scary late at night...

The thought of the black man staring intently at them from behind while they were talking sent chills down their spines!

Then, the living room became a strange place where the three of them didn't trust each other and were staring at each other.

Until finally someone broke it.

Not long after Lin Xiaofeng and Yukiko sat down, Yabuuchi Yoshifusa also came in, draped in a towel. He said with a refreshed expression, "I've finished washing up. If any of you want to take a bath, you can go now."

Upon hearing that they could finally leave the room, Yoshiyuki Yabuuchi and Hidekazu Yabuuchi immediately stood up in unison and said, "Then I'll go first!"

Yabuuchi Yoshifusa frowned and said, "You two don't usually go to the bathhouse, so why did you decide to go together today?"

Hearing this, the blond-haired Yabuki Yoshiyuki glanced at Carlos again, a chill still running through him. He seriously suspected he was going to have nightmares tonight…

"Ahem, Uncle Yifang, I just suddenly wanted to take a bath for a while, why are you asking so many questions?"

Yabuuchi Hidekazu quickly chimed in, "Me too! Uncle, there must be a reason why you like taking baths so much. Why don't you give it a try?"

it is good. "

"Humph!"

Yabuchi Yoshifusa said coldly, "If you want to try, I have no right to stop you. But if you have ill intentions and want to deal with me, don't blame Carlos for being ruthless."

"In Brazil, he's not someone to be trifled with..."

Yabuchi Yoshiyuki chuckled dryly, "How could that be? We are blood relatives. I think that letter that has been making you so worried is something an outsider used to sow discord between us. Please don't take it seriously."

Yabunouchi Yoshifusa stared into their eyes and said calmly, "Whether it's true or not, I'll judge for myself. There's no need to trouble you to help me."
