After replying to Masaichi's message from overseas, Aoi Xiu had a stern look on her face as she remained seated behind her desk.
She took out some documents from the lower drawer and read them again.
It contained the leads on the investigation regarding her son and daughter-in-law.
She remembered how Midori told her how Manta implied that Agatha might have been pregnant at the time of assassination. The problem with confirming this was that her remains were cremated since it was the decision of her family.
Aoi Xiu knew that her grandson does not lie, but he had been unstable for quite some time after the incident involving his parents. Plus his coping mechanisms were odd. Could the statement be a part of his adaptation? Maybe he was just led by the fact that his Aunty Mei was having a baby. Either way, Aoi Xiu and her daughter have kept it to her son to this day.
She was immersed in her thoughts when suddenly, there was a knock on the door. She replaced the documents in the drawer and looked at the closed door.
"Come in." She immediately turned her expression into indifference.
Takagi Ryuuji came in. "Shachou, here are last quarter's reports." He handed over some documents.
"Hmn." Aoi Xiu nodded and took them.
Takagi Ryuuji bowed and turned to take his leave when she spoke again.
"Chotto matte(1)." She had a serious look on her face.
He turned around to face her. "Shachou." He bowed, awaiting instructions.
However, he got a question instead.
"How much do you like my daughter?" Her tone was domineering. It was best not to lie.

Meanwhile, in the Song estate.
"Madie, have you talked about picking dresses with your fiancé?" Chairman Song was smoking a pipe in the living room.
Madeline Song was just passing by towards the kitchen for some water when the question was asked.
For the past few weeks, she had been lying about going out with Dan when she was busy flirting around.
"We don't do a lot of talking, so I forgot. I'll tell him next time."
'So you were doing a lot of what?' The sly face of Chairman Song was disgusting, even for his own daughter. "Is that so? Make sure you pick out at least three dresses."
"Dad, it is only for a night. One dress is enough." She continued walking towards the kitchen, leaving her father slightly annoyed.
It was not because she does not like wearing dresses. In fact, even with her sexual preference, she never wanted to look like a man. She liked wearing bodycon dresses which show off all her curves. She always puts on makeup, even when staying at home. She just won't bother to select too many dresses for a fake engagement.
After sighing heavily, she sent Dan a message. "Hey Romeo, can you stop cuddling with the girl of my dreams for an hour and help me pick out a dress for our little event?"
It took about two minutes to get a reply. "What time?"
"Tomorrow at 5." She had an amused smile.
"Fine. Stay away from my wife."
Madeline Song let out a laugh and headed back to her room.

At a hotel veranda in Country F, an afternoon tea was served.
Xiu Jin took a sip of his earl grey then gently placed the cup back on the table.
A pair of dark eyes were staring at him with alluring rouged lips fixed with a smile of pearly whites.
"I'm glad you agreed on this partnership. It would be a great help on the expansion of our hotel chain."
The woman opposite him kept her smile then drank her jasmine tea.
Xiu Jin kept on talking. "We could have been in-laws. Such a shame that the children had a misunderstanding."
Su Linyu wiped the corner of her mouth. "If you'd like, we could still be a family." Her smile was suggestive.
"You have a plan to make them get back together?" Xiu Jin had excitement in his eyes.
"How about we get back together?"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
