Tokyo: Starting with a fake boyfriend

At the same time, Shiratori Osamu also entered the elevator.

“Dad, if you insist on sending Xiu Jun away, then I will go with him.”

Minami Yamabuki grabbed his arm, looked at her father indignantly, and protested.

"You want to go with him? Then go ahead!"

Upon hearing these remarks about running away from home, Tomoya Yamabuki, who was already furious, immediately lost his temper.

"Let's go!"

Seeing that he said that, Minami Yamabuki decisively pressed the button for the first floor.

The apartment building has an elevator designed for one unit per floor, with each floor having its own key. However, no card is needed to access the first floor, allowing guests to leave on their own.

"Xiao Nan, you go home with your dad. I'll go by myself."

Seeing this, Shiratori Osamu spoke up again, acting as a peacemaker.

"I'm going with you, even if it's sleeping in an internet cafe, anywhere is fine with me!"

Minami Yamabuki shook her head and frantically pressed the close button.

With a "thump!", the elevator doors began to close.

Inside and outside the elevator, father and daughter faced each other, staring at each other, neither willing to give way.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, they opened again.

In the end, Tomoya Yamabuki couldn't resist her and reached out to hold the elevator button.

Although he had been a successful businessman for many years and had won many negotiations, he was very experienced in dealing with people. However, when it came to his beloved daughter, he dared not gamble; he could not afford to lose.

Because his daughter ran away from home and was running around with this little rascal, he would regret it for the rest of his life if even the slightest accident happened to her.

Minami Yamabuki met her father's gaze again, her eyes still stubborn, but she was very happy inside.

This scene was a pre-planned plot in the script, in which she threatened to run away from home when her father insisted on driving Shiratori away.

However, her father seemed very angry, and she had been a little worried that things would get out of control.

What if her father hadn't stopped her? Running away from home was just talk; she was only saying it.

"The righteous path is one foot high, but the evil path is ten feet high... you old fox."

Shiratori Osamu was not surprised by this result at all.

Chapter 10 Mother-in-law

"go home!"

Tomoya Yamabuki stood outside the elevator, his gaze scanning the two little ones like a scanner. After waiting for a while and seeing that they hadn't come out, he snorted and turned to leave.

He didn't leave alone; he took his wife's hand with him.

Standing in the elevator, Minami Yamabuki leaned out of the door frame and watched her parents' figures gradually disappear into the distance, finally understanding the deeper meaning behind it all.

Clearly, even though his father didn't say it outright, he compromised and gave up on his plan to drive Shiratori away.

"Have we succeeded?"

Seeing this, Yamabuki Minami felt it was unbelievable, and her heart was pounding wildly.

The argument just now was too intense, because her father's tone was too harsh, which made her very angry.

She was especially angry when she noticed her mother's red eyes, which clearly indicated she had been crying.

"Don't be too happy yet, the real battle is yet to come."

Seeing that she was very happy, Shiratori Shu had to pour cold water on her enthusiasm.

Successful people understand the importance of considering the bigger picture better than ordinary people.

A small leak will sink a great ship.

Tomoya Yamabuki may seem to have backed down, but this was merely a step in the overall strategy.

This old fox truly lives up to his reputation as the president of a large company. Luckily, he has Yamabuki Minami as his trump card, and they are even pretending to be a couple.

If they were truly in a relationship, and if Minami Yamabuki weren't hopelessly infatuated with love, they would have been broken up long ago.

"The real battle is yet to come? But Dad's home, and it seems he's not planning on going on his business trip."

Minami Yamabuki was taken aback by what she heard, somewhat puzzled.

"Remember what I asked you before? My appearance will definitely make your dad very angry, but a fake is still a fake. He will see through the lie sooner or later when he calms down. And there's that philanderer, she hasn't joined the competition yet."

While we are happy, we must not let this stage of victory blind us.

He noticed that when he met with Minami Yamabuki's father, they had a heated argument, and his phone was still making a faint sound before he put it in his pocket, indicating that it was on a call.

He didn't quite catch who it was, since the speaker wasn't on, but he figured it must be his female secretary.

Father, like son.

The female secretary overheard their entire argument and likely noticed something amiss.

“You’re right, this isn’t over yet.” Yamabuki Minami was initially happy because her father’s compromise made her feel his love, but the thought of that philanderer immediately put her on guard.

……

"Why didn't you stop me just now? Why didn't you bring Xiao Nan back with you?"

As Tomoya Yamabuki slowly walked home with his wife, he spoke with resentment in his heart.

If his wife had just said a few words in his defense, he wouldn't have lost his fight with his daughter so decisively.

He was so enthusiastic about speaking up for the blond-haired guy, yet he wouldn't say a single word in support of him.

"Because you told me to shut up."

As he led her by the hand, Yamabuki's eyes were filled with tears.

"No, I told that thug to shut up, I didn't say anything to you."

When Yamabuki Tomoya heard her aggrieved voice and turned around to see her on the verge of tears, his anger immediately dissipated, replaced by panic.

Is that how it is?

He thought his wife had also been bewitched by the young man with blond hair, but it turned out that his wife was afraid to speak again because she felt that he had scolded her.

Weren't you insulting me back then?

"Of course not, how could I bear to scold you?"

"Why are you so reluctant to scold me? You just scolded me."

"When?"

"You called me unreasonable."

"I……"

"And you even hit me back then." Thinking about what had just happened at home, Yamabuki felt very sad, and tears fell from her eyes.

"I didn't hit you, I just pulled your hand away..." Yamabuki Tomoya explained a few times, but when he saw that she was really crying, he couldn't help but scratch his head and cheeks, "Don't cry."

He had almost forgotten about it if his wife hadn't brought it up. He had said a few harsh words as he left the bedroom because he was rushing to go on a business trip.

In other words, the couple was still arguing.

Yamabuki didn't speak, she just stared at him silently.

"Where are they? Could it be that Xiao Nan is really going to run away from home because of a fight?"

To divert her attention, Tomoya Yamabuki looked around and said something.

They were almost at their doorstep, but their precious daughter still hadn't caught up.

"Don't even mention Xiao Nan, I also want to run away from home."

Yamabuki noticed this, but didn't care and muttered something under her breath.

Although she hadn't known him for long, she could tell that Shiratori Osamu wasn't as bad as her husband had described; his eyes were clear and his personality was shy.

My daughter said that even if she ran away from home with a boyfriend like that, she wouldn't have any problems playing around outside for a few days.

"Wife, stop fooling around..."

Tomoya Yamabuki was already troubled by the fact that his precious daughter had been deceived by a bad man, and seeing her still causing trouble made him feel even more uneasy.

It's all in chaos, everything's in complete chaos.

Just when he was going crazy, something good happened.

Finally, my beloved daughter appeared on the other side of the corridor elevator.

The only downside was that the daughter was forcibly pulling her blond boyfriend away.

Noticing this, Yamabuki quickly turned her head away to wipe her tears, not wanting the two little ones to see her embarrassing state.

"Aunt Yamabuki, Uncle Yamabuki, I'm sorry, I really couldn't refuse Minami, I'm sorry to bother you."

Shiratori Osamu was dragged back to the door. When he met the gazes of the two adults, he explained somewhat embarrassedly.

"How could I be bothering you? You're welcome to visit."

Yamabuki was delighted to see them come to her again.

She hadn't had a chance to look at them properly before, but now that they were face to face again, she realized that the two of them were actually quite well-matched.

Shiratori Osamu was tall and strong, probably over 1.85 meters tall, with deep-set, angular features, and looked very handsome.

His darling daughter stood arm in arm with him, their height difference was obvious, they looked super cute and very sweet.

"Don't call me uncle."

Given the lesson learned from the argument that ended with his daughter threatening to run away from home, Yamabuki Satoshi didn't fly into a rage again, but just snorted coldly.

In his opinion, what Shiratori Osamu just said was pure nonsense.

Saying you can't persuade Xiao Nan is wrong. If you, a grown man, really want to leave, do you think Xiao Nan can stop you?

"Shiratori-kun, I'm so sorry for what my husband did to you just now." Seeing her husband's sour face again, Yamabuki lowered her head and stepped aside to apologize, then invited, "You must be tired after standing for so long, come and sit down at home."

"Sorry to bother you."

Shiratori nodded without being polite and followed in her footsteps.

"Honey, your house is so big!"

Upon entering the foyer, Shiratori looked around in surprise.

Although it was acting, it was also his true thought.

In Tokyo, where land is incredibly expensive, the Yamabuki family home is definitely a luxury residence... The entrance hall alone is very spacious, and I wonder how many square meters the total area is.

"Hehe, didn't I already say that?"

Minami Yamabuki, who was holding his arm, smiled as she recited her lines.

"We rarely have guests at home, so we don't have many men's slippers. I'm not sure if they'll fit, so I hope you don't mind."

Meanwhile, Yamabuki, who had already walked up the steps to the entrance, opened the shoe cabinet, found a pair of slippers, and put them on the floor.

"How could I possibly mind? Thank you, Mother-in-law."

Seeing how considerate she was, Shiratori Shu quickly expressed his gratitude.

"mother in law?"

Upon hearing this title, both Minami Yamabuki and Yuki Yamabuki were taken aback.

"You bastard, who are you calling 'mother-in-law'?!"

The next moment, Tomoya Yamabuki lost control again.

This blond brat changed his attitude the moment he found out his family was rich, right?

Chapter 11 Lifeline

"Of course it's your wife, father-in-law."

Shiratori Osamu remained unmoved by his anger, even responding with a smile.
