Aoki Yoshiko turned around the hall and went up the stairs. Taka Aoki sat respectfully in front of Daisuke Aoki and asked, "Master, why are you looking for Kurumi?"
Daisuke Aoki was a rare guest. Even though the two families lived close to each other, Taka Aoki could not remember how many years it had been since the last time he visited. Usually, if there was something to look for Kurumi, it would be through the family.
Moreover, it was a personal visit at night, which made him feel unusual.
"If it's something important, then don't bother with me. Shall I take you to the study room? "Takashi Aoki said and immediately added.
"No need." Daisuke Aoki shook his head slightly and looked at Taka Aoki with envy. "Taka, you've given birth to a good daughter."
You've given birth to a good daughter?
He had heard the same sentence countless times. Taka Aoki smiled and humbly said that it was all because of the family's nurturing and nurturing.
Such an answer was politically correct. Otherwise, everyone would think that he was a shallow person who would shine with a little sunshine.
Yui Aoki followed her mother down the stairs. She was wearing conservative princess-style pajamas with cartoon characters on them. Her hair was combed in a simple way, and her eyes were red and puffy. She looked like she had been crying.
It seemed like there was really a conflict. Thinking about the descendant of the Li family saying that he would be returning to China soon, Daisuke Aoki's heart sank.
He did not ask about it in front of the middle-aged couple and cleared his throat. "The Supers Association sent a message today saying that they will help us maintain the stability of the Bloodline World. They will arrive in Tokyo tomorrow evening. They are here to split the profits. "
Kurumi was shocked. She did not know about this because she had left angrily while soaking in the hot spring.
"There's such a thing?" Taka Aoki was indignant. "Shameless Americans. They are always so overbearing. What a joke. The rebellion of the Tenjin Association is coming to an end. What do they think Japan is? "
"Fortunately, Li Jun is here, and he is the temporary leader. With him, we will have more confidence." Daisuke Aoki sighed.
The government did not want Li Xianyu to go against the Supers Association. That was obviously impossible. Li Xianyu's existence and attitude were the bargaining chips of the government.
He had the support of a half-step Extreme Dao master.
They were also more confident. Otherwise, if the president of the Extreme Grade Realm came, how would the government have the confidence to say no to the Superpower Association after losing Emperor Iwasaki?
Kuri Aoki's delicate brows furrowed. "Patriarch, are you asking me to persuade the guest?"
She recalled that not long ago in the hot spring, she had asked him if he wanted to invite her to China as a guest.
For a couple who had an ambiguous relationship, this was a very obvious hint. The girl was willing to travel across the ocean to your country to play with you. If you work harder, wouldn't rolling in the sheets be a matter of convenience?
However, Li Xianyu refused. If he didn't get the hint, then so be it. At most, Kuri Aoki would curse him in her heart.
But she knew that Li Xianyu understood. He wasn't a blockhead. He was a smart person.
Because of this, Kurumi Aoki felt that her dignity had been trampled on. She was so upset and humiliated that she wanted to dig a hole and hide in it.
When she came back, she cried a little. She was sad that she was just an insignificant girl in his heart. She thought too highly of herself.
Just as she was about to refuse, the patriarch smiled. "No, Li-kun has already agreed. In exchange, Kuri, when this matter is over, the government will appoint you as the deputy leader. And you will be the deputy leader with real power. "
The hall suddenly quieted down. The LCD TV's voice became clearer.
Takashi Aoki's mouth fell open. He was immersed in the huge shock of the news.
Aoki Yoshiko covered her mouth. A few seconds later, she could hear her heart pounding. Each beat was more intense than the one before, as if it was about to jump out of her throat.
Kuri was going to be the deputy leader?!
And she would be the one with real power.
This meant that she would become one of the most powerful people in Japan. Her influence would not be any less than the patriarch of the Aoki family. And the resources in her hands would surpass Daisuke Aoki.
And she was the deputy leader of the government organization, Okasan.
First of all, the family would value Kuri more, and then the couple. This was the double advantage of status and resources.
Secondly, as Kuri's mother, her influence would no longer be limited to the family. No matter where she went in the future, no one would ignore her. She would also be able to attend high-end social gatherings, cocktail parties, salons, and other activities of the noble ladies of the various families.
Lastly, and most importantly, she would no longer have to worry about money. As a middle-aged woman without much ability, she lacked substance other than a beautiful appearance. Therefore, they would not have a share in the family's business. She and her husband were supported by the family and received a sum of money every month. This sum of money would increase due to Kuri's rise, but it would not be too much in the end. It could only ensure that they would have a rich life.
Once Kuri Aoki became the deputy leader of the government organization, it would mean that she would not have to worry about money anymore. It would be enough for her to spend as much as she wanted.
The quality of life would be incomparable.
"Kuri, mommy's dizzy. I can't breathe." Aoki Yoshiko leaned back on the sofa, holding her voluptuous breasts as she spoke incoherently about the excitement in her heart.
"Mommy knew that Kuri would have a bright future …"
Kuri Aoki's eyes widened slightly. After a moment, her expression quickly dimmed.
"What's wrong?" Aoki Daisuke saw the change in her expression and thought, Isn't this something to be happy about? The expression on your face should be mine. I was supposed to be the deputy leader.
However, it did not matter if Kuri Aoki was the deputy leader. They were all family, and the will of the Aoki family was the will of Kuri Aoki. It was not a problem whether he or Kuri Aoki was the deputy leader. In the end, the Aoki family would still benefit.
"I understand, master. If there's nothing else, Kuri will return to her room." Kuri Aoki held back her tears. She gently sniffled and got up to go upstairs.
The three people in the hall looked at each other. Aoki Daisuke coughed and said, "I'll go back first. This child is in a bad mood. As parents, you should take care of her. Don't just enjoy yourself all day."
We can't take care of her … The husband and wife nodded.
After sending off the master, Aoki Yoshiko slowly walked upstairs to her daughter's room. She raised her hand to knock on the door when she heard a sobbing sound.
Was this girl crying tears of joy?
"Come in!" The sobbing stopped, and her daughter's nasal voice came from inside.
Aoki Yoshiko opened the door and saw Kuri Aoki sitting on the bed with her arms around her knees. Beside her was a box of tissues with pictures of magical girls. There were a lot of used tissues on the bed.
"Too happy?" Aoki Yoshiko was silent for a moment, then teased her with a smile.
Kuri Aoki ignored her.
"Did you quarrel with Li-kun?"
"What do you know?" Kuri Aoki frowned unhappily. She didn't give her mother a good look.
"I've been through it. When I was in a relationship with Honma-kun, I used to cry like this." Aoki Yoshiko comforted her.
"Aren't you afraid that Dad will hear you?" Kuri Aoki glanced at the door. Of course, her father couldn't hear her. He was in the living room. Kuri Aoki could even hear the sound of her father striking a lighter downstairs.
She just wanted to remind her mother not to keep mentioning the dead man. That was half the reason why her parents didn't get along. Although the Aoki family relied on nepotism, the family had always been strict with the girls.
Before marriage, they weren't allowed to have sex with their lovers. That was because most outstanding girls were absorbed by the family. One day, you had sex with someone, and the next, you married someone else. They were all relatives, and it was awkward to see each other all the time.
It was not good for the unity of the family.
But because her mother was too beautiful when she was young and wanted to marry into the main family, she easily gave herself to her fiancé, Takuma Aoki. But before they could get married, Takuma Aoki died young.
Her mother had no choice but to marry her father, who was also of average status in the family.
Her mother felt that she was at a disadvantage. She could have been a rich wife. Her father also felt that he was at a disadvantage. Other people married pure girls, but he married someone else's fiancé.
"So be it. Your father is useless in all aspects." Aoki Yoshiko curled her lips. "You're the best. You have better taste than me. The man you found … well, he's an unrestrained hero."
His mother thought of the frightening name of Ghost Beast and decisively changed "good man" to "wanton and unrestrained".
"What's so good about him? He has a bad reputation, and he has many women around him. He's fickle," Kuri Aoki said in a low voice.
"But he's the heir of the Li family. Who cares how many women he has? Among the rich and powerful in the world of bloodline descendants, which one of them is single-minded?" Aoki Yoshiko said, "Mother is very clear. You don't have to care too much about feelings, you know? Power and wealth in your hands are the real thing. "
"I don't want to listen … I don't want to listen …" Kuri Aoki covered her ears, refusing to listen to her mother's negative energy.
What her mother said might not be wrong, or perhaps it was very true. But it was precisely because it was true that it worried her.
"Silly girl, if it were me, I wouldn't care how many women he has. I'd eat him up for sure," Aoki Yoshiko said unhappily. "So many women want to get close to him, but they don't even have the chance."
"Then go, go. I'm so pretty, there's plenty of opportunities." Kuri Aoki pushed her mother away.
Aoki Yoshiko muttered, "Do you think I don't want to? But I'm old. Otherwise, I wouldn't have anything to do with you. "
"What did you say?"
"Nothing."
Kuri Aoki chased her annoying mother out and hid under the blankets. First, she pressed the left side of the blanket under her, then rolled over to the right side. Then, she lifted her foot to press the ends of the blankets. Just like that, she was wrapped up like a dumpling.
In the cold winter, this was the standard sleeping position.
She peeked out and stared at the ceiling in a daze. Li Xianyu had arranged for her to be the deputy leader with evil intentions. He wanted to use this position to trap her.
Think about it, if she became the deputy leader of an official organization, would she still be able to go to China? It would be hard for her to leave Japan.
"Kuri Aoki, that silly girl. She actually expressed her love for me. She really doesn't know her place. Seeing that we're comrades, I won't say anything to reject her. I'll just give her the position of deputy leader. "
Kuri Aoki imagined what Li Xianyu would say to his woman.
As she thought about it, her eyes became moist.
America, New York.
Superhuman Association Headquarters.
Japan's time zone was East Ninth District, while New York was West Fifth District. There was a difference of fourteen hours.
While Kuri Aoki was wrapping herself up like a dumpling and experiencing the joys and sorrows of love, Victoria was sitting in her office, drinking coffee with her brother, Ryder.
"I don't want to go to Japan." Ryder leaned back in his comfortable chair and looked at his sister opposite him.
"Why?" Victoria was eating a sandwich with strong coffee, a fashion magazine in front of her.
Because Li Xianyu is in Japan. I've told you before that I've taken a fancy to that Chinese woman. Hmm, Li Qianyu!
Ryder stared at his sister carefully. Seeing that her expression did not change, he sighed in relief. "Japanese people have low self-esteem and are arrogant. On the surface, they are respectful to you, but in fact, they are very unfriendly. I don't like them."
Of course, this was also one of the reasons. The main reason was that he did not want to see Li Xianyu.
Unlike Japan, the Supers Association was particularly concerned about Europe's affairs. Ever since the Vatican incident, the Supers Association had investigated the matter in detail.
Based on the Superhuman Association's influence in Europe, the Association found a lot of intriguing information. For example, the super beauty who only appeared briefly in the Pro League had actually cultivated the Charm Esper Ability to such a rare level.
Another example was that Li Xianyu once obtained an Ancient Demon Shell from Pantheon Temple, which happened to be the Charm Esper Ability.
Of course, the Vatican did not admit to this matter, so the Superhuman Association did not make a final conclusion about Li Qianyu's identity and archived it as confidential information.
Based on Ryder's position, he naturally could not access confidential files, but he was one of the few people who had seen Li Xianyu use the Charm Esper Ability in Pantheon Temple.
After learning that the heir of the Li family had resurrected and appeared in Europe to kill the Pope, Ryder immediately realized that the great beauty that he could not forget was actually Li Xianyu.
His heart felt like it was struck by lightning, and he was depressed for a long time.
During that time, he looked for beauties every day to exchange feelings late into the night, gratifyingly proving that he was still interested in women and was still an upright man.
But this did not mean that he was willing to see Li Xianyu.
"The reason why we are going to Japan this time is to help the official organization to quell the chaos of Tenjin Association.
Since we are going to fight, naturally, we will need support personnel. " Victoria took a sip of coffee and did not even raise her head. "I helped you get a spot, why would I not have the opportunity to make a contribution? Ryder, if you can't be promoted to team leader before the age of twenty-five, then you will not have the chance to become a high-ranking member of the association. "
It was more difficult for support personnel to accumulate contributions, and Ryder was also a second-generation who liked to enjoy life, so he was not motivated enough. It's all my fault, I protected him too well.
Victoria sighed.
"Will this operation succeed? I heard that he is now the temporary leader of the official organization. Although it is temporary, there is no time limit. If the official organization uses his name to fight us, do you think the president will fight with him? "Ryder suddenly thought of this question and asked with great interest.
"That is the president's business, it has nothing to do with us." Victoria thought for a while and replied.
"Sis, this kind of small matter does not require the president to personally go to Japan, right?" Ryder whispered. "I think the president is going for Li Xianyu."
