However, in the end, Suzuki Sonoko failed to summon the driver.
——The landline phone in the Sijing family villa is broken.
"These guys don't usually maintain the villa!" Suzuki Sonoko snorted and put down the receiver, "It seems we have to use the car sent by Chairman Yosui tomorrow morning."
The four people dropped their phones and turned around to go downstairs.
In the hall on the first floor, Reika Yotsui and her suitors were sitting around the table, playing cards.
Jiang Xia looked over one by one and gradually identified this group of people with obvious characteristics. The names of the suitors were very distinctive: Ichige Takashi, Nikaido Yuuji, Mifune Takuya, Gojo Osamu, Rokuda Shoji... It seemed like a group of people.
Digital harem.
Shijing Reika held a handful of cards. Seeing Jiang Xia approaching, she casually invited: "Do you want to play?"
Jiang Xia responded, moved a stool over, picked a man with a murderous aura, and sat down next to him - the environment here was very comfortable for a psychic.
Suzuki Sonoko doesn't want to play with Yotsui Reika.
But seeing that Jiang Xia had quickly integrated into it, she silently swallowed her rejection and went to drag the stool.
Both of them have already joined, and of course Mao Lilan has followed. Not to mention Conan, he has no choice, he didn't even touch the cards, and is regarded as Mao Lilan's accessory.
The scene turned into a group of people playing cards together.
During the game, when the round was over, Reika Yotsui felt that the dress she was wearing was not convenient, so she stood up and said, "I'm going to change my clothes."
…
Others were sitting at the table, chatting and waiting for her.
While chatting, a lot of information came out - this group of people, including Reika Yotsui, used to be members of the yacht club and often went out for diving and fishing together.
The word "previously" is used a bit delicately.
Conan always felt that there was something hidden.
He was about to ask more questions when a man with a ponytail took the initiative and said, "Yes, it was a really wonderful time... It's a pity that such a tragedy happened two years ago."
The others were startled and hurriedly stopped talking. They agreed not to mention this past incident again.
Conan's expression changed slightly. He couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xia, and he had some bad premonitions in his heart - I don't know if it was a coincidence or something. Every time Jiang Xia was present, he would just mention "the tragedy x years ago" or something like that.
If you talk about the topic, some bad things will happen easily.
But... the world is scientific. No matter how coincidental it seems, this is just a pure coincidence and has nothing to do with whether Jiang Xia is present or not. Yes, it must be so.
Conan recited the theory of materialism several times in his mind, but still felt a little weak.
Finally, I had to pray secretly, hoping that tonight would be a Christmas Eve.
…
The digital harem refused to disclose the details, so Jiang Xia did not ask further questions, since he would have asked sooner or later anyway.
And he actually had some impressions about this matter.
——Two years ago, members of the yacht club went to the island to play. Unfortunately, they encountered a storm and were separated from Reika Yotsui.
At that time, a girl named Nanao put on a life jacket and took another one with her, and went to save Reika Yotsui alone. Unexpectedly, Reika Yotsui was with Nikaido. There were not enough life jackets, so the two took away Nanao's life jacket.
life jacket, causing her tragic death in the sea.
It was precisely because he had been an accomplice that Nikaidou secretly blackmailed Yotsui Reika into choosing him as her husband.
…
Under the obstruction of others, the pony-tailed man finally did not speak out about this "tragedy".
But the old members of the yacht club know it well. After experiencing this episode, the atmosphere in the living room will inevitably become dull.
The digital harem had no intention of playing cards, and only then did they realize that one person was missing.
They looked at their watches: "Why hasn't the eldest lady come down yet?" It takes so long to change clothes?
The maid, Granny Mi, stood up and said, "I'll go up and take a look."
five minutes later.
The old woman came back in confusion: "...the eldest lady is not in the room."
"……oh!"
A young talent had a sudden thought: Could it be that Reika Yotsui felt that she had been left out, so she took the initiative to hide and wait for them to find her?
——This is a perfect opportunity to increase your favorability, marry Reika Sisui, take over the Sisui Group, and reach the pinnacle of life...
He jumped up: "I'll go look for it!"
The others were stunned and quickly reacted, shouting "I'll go too!" "Wait for me!" and chased out in a chaotic manner.
Jiang Xia looked at their backs, hesitated, and did not get up.
He is not here to choose a son-in-law today, and he is not familiar with Reika Yotsui, so it would seem a bit abnormal to follow him now.
And...those people will have to come back here later anyway.
…
Sure enough, ten minutes later, the digital harem came back in a chaotic manner.
This time, their expressions finally became more serious: "Where is Miss Lihua?"
