Are you, as meal replacement users, ready for the consequences?

ha? ? ?

"So it really was you... You better explain everything clearly, or I really will call the police..."

"Eh."

Yutenji Wakana blinked and continued watching the child's antics.

wrong!

At this point, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly realized something.

Looking at the other person's "calm" expression and the slightly upturned corners of their mouth, alarm bells went off in her mind.

Why... does this person seem so calm and collected?

They were completely detached from the situation.

Even when threatened like this, she still maintains such an expression... She's not simple! This Hachiman Kairin is indeed a master.

Arrogant purple pupils, long purple hair that moves without wind and exudes a sense of oppression... coupled with that artistic and fashionable haute couture coat, this Hachiman Kairin gave Toyokawa Neko an extremely ominous feeling.

"Aren't you afraid at all?"

"What?"

The fact that she's not afraid of the police means she has an incredibly powerful network of connections and has already colluded with them?!

Oh no, this is terrible.

Xiangzi took a step back, realizing that her actions had been somewhat rash.

Calm down... Being a live streamer, especially a celebrity, is not easy.

However, Toyokawa Shoko is not alone. Her most precious treasure, Toyokawa Ningko, who is being bullied in front of her, is Shoko's vulnerability.

If it were just Xiangzi alone, I wouldn't mind fighting her to the death, but she still has Ningzi to support.

If something happens to him, Xiangzi will be in serious trouble and might even be sent to Southeast Asia to see his father...

If things really come to that, Ningzi will have no one to support her.

If something really happens, Ningzi will have no choice but to be supported by Mu...

The Toyokawa family won't interfere. Some of them are practically obsessed with inheritance rights. Although there are people trying to stop them, well... it's all so complicated.

Ningzi was adopted and cared for by Mu, and her final fate will definitely be to become Mu's wife and be bullied for the rest of her life, right?

This kind of thing... should only happen at least ten years after Xiangzi dies.

After a brief pause and hesitation, the rush of hot blood to Toyokawa Shoko's head had subsided.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she felt, while also reminding herself that she might be overthinking things.

Xiangzi is now just like a middle-aged office worker whose wife is having an affair.

If he tells his wife he wants to break up, it will definitely cause the family to fall apart and make Huang Mao (a nickname for a man) happy. But if he doesn't file for divorce, he will still have a grudge and feel uneasy for a long time.

嗏

It allows you to keep your family intact, deceive yourself with false lies, and maintain a facade of peace...

Although cowardly, it is effective and has the lowest cost.

Run away, Toyokawa Shoko... Now is not the time to break ties with them.

First, hand Xiao Ning over to ensure her safety so she won't be caught by Hachiman Kairin, then earn enough money for Xiao Ning to support her through university.

Finally, after gathering clues along the way about Hachiman Kairin... I'll take care of her then...

That surge of passion rushed to her head again, and Toyokawa Shoko clearly realized that her thoughts were becoming extreme.

I want to kill this Hachiman Kairin... so my sister won't be bullied anymore.

Why would I think that? Have I been under too much pressure lately?

I've already relieved a lot of stress.

Yutenji Wakana looked at Toyokawa Shoko, who was trembling and silent, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Just keep smiling, that way you absolutely won't make a mistake.

"!!!"

This woman, she's still laughing! No, why can she still laugh when she's been exposed like this?

She was just trying to deny it, but now she's not even pretending anymore?

That's too arrogant, that's going too far...

But how could such a thing just be covered up like this!

"What exactly happened between us..." Xiangzi hesitated for a moment, "What exactly happened between us?"

"What? What happened? Are you delirious from a fever?"

Yutenji Wakanagi was completely bewildered from beginning to end.

She couldn't understand a single word Ningningzi said.

"Say it quickly!"

Xiangzi felt his body trembling; it was an ancient warning mechanism for violent outbursts.

This is due to a surge in adrenaline in the body, which temporarily enhances strength, defense, and speed, and even provides temporary immunity to pain.

His body was ready to rush up and beat the guy up, but Xiangzi kept restraining himself from doing so.

I can't... affect my sister's life, which is now gradually getting back on track.

"We just filmed a video, nothing else. What, is Xiaoning trying to take it a step further? No, it's not..."

"Shut up, stop talking," Xiangzi said, forcing himself not to show any disgust or aversion. "Really not? Are you sure?"

"Really? No, why are you asking such a thing?"

"That's good! Just be more careful next time..."

"Okay, it's just acting anyway. As long as you don't ask for a raise... after all, this profit sharing is already the largest."

When Ruomai made a face as if she was worried about her wallet, it reassured Xiangzi a lot.

Indeed... my sister was completely unharmed; I checked her over and over again, inside and out.

If it's just about paying your sister to act in a movie or something, then it's not unacceptable...

It seems the possibility of this maintenance-related hypothesis has been further reduced.

"Alright! Forget about today, I'm leaving!"

Xiangzi glanced at his watch and hurriedly ran towards the alley entrance.

Yutenji Wakame was left standing there, still bewildered.

"So...you want me to go for more revealing scenes? That's outrageous."

Ningzi today is acting strangely.

Ch200. The Three of Us

[Neko: You come to be my mother, and then kill me.]

What a crazy and nonsensical statement! But its deterrent power is definitely strong enough!

Ningzi casually sent the message and then put down her phone.

She covered her face with a pillow, already unabashedly imagining the expressions on the faces of those who would see these words during a night visit to Chengtian Temple.

Haha, you'll definitely be shocked by me!

Hehe, this is the fantastical side of me, Toyokawa Ningko!

If you don't have the guts to take it, go home and cry to your mom.

buzz-

I bet your next sentence will be a question mark! And there will definitely be three of them!

【Ryomen Sukuna:? ? ? 】

Haha, as expected of a noob, simple and easy to understand.

Ningzi excitedly slipped her phone into the sofa cushions, bounced around the living room a few times, then slipped into the kitchen, picked up Xiao Mu, and ran around the house a few more times. Finally, seeing Xiao Mu's bewildered expression, she casually tossed Xiao Mu back into the kitchen and went to the courtyard to run around happily.

"My older sister is coming tonight too! I can sleep with Xiao Xiang and Xiao Mu on either side of me!"

Unlike the previous time when we shared a bed at home, this time the bed... was definitely big enough!

I want to throw a music party at Ruoye Mutsuya someday, and find seven or eight girls I like to lie on my bed and act as my living piano.

Ningzi kicked over the dwarf statue in the yard, stood on it, and pulled on the cucumber vine to see if it would scream in surprise.

"very nice."

As Ruoye Mutsu prepared the ingredients in the kitchen, she wiped the sweat from her forehead. She watched Ningzi in the yard, sometimes laughing and sometimes serious, sometimes picking cucumber flowers and sometimes burying them in the ground, and her own lips never fell.

Am I laughing?

The kitchen window reflected his smile, and for the first time, Ruoye Mutsu directly felt the change in himself.

Mu touched the corner of his lips with his hand stained with cucumber-green blood, and all he could see in Mu's eyes was Ningzi laughing.

"Xiao Ning looks so happy. Is this what it's like to be happy for Ningzi's happiness?"

This is a girl who, even when she is deeply in love, only dares to give a brief hug.

I hope she will stay by my side forever.

Let's just stay here and stop those bad women from targeting us.

Xiao Ning should get closer to me more.

What Xiao Xiang can do, I may be able to do as well; what Xiao Xiang cannot do, I can do for you.

Ifa Mutsu stroked the window, pulled down a wooden block, and the Venetian blinds immediately fell down.

These are treasures she can't bear to look at more than a few times.

Toyokawa Neko should be cared for by someone who has committed a crime... What reason do others have to approach Neko?

He brandished the cleaver and forcefully sliced ​​the already cut cucumber open again.

Cucumber juice splattered everywhere, as if someone who was unhappy with the situation had been beheaded.

That's the way it is.

……

"Finally—it's time to get off work!"

Toyokawa Shoko stood at the entrance of the Wakaba residence, supporting her back.

Today's customer was still difficult and unreasonable. Even though it was the repairman who made the mistake, he still yelled at her for more than ten minutes.

What else can we do?

Then I can only force a smile and put on a forced smile.

Otherwise, the overtime pay I get would be less than the pay I lose if I'm reported.

Having left all her resentment and dissatisfaction on the way to the Wakaba residence, Toyokawa Shoko has now roughly figured out what happened with Hachiman Kairin.

That person... is absolutely not someone you should mess with.

She must be the kind of ambitious upstart who wants to rise to power. The money she gave Ningzi was probably not for maintenance, but rather a gesture of goodwill towards Ningzi.

To be precise, they were people who wanted to climb up the social ladder to the Toyokawa family.

The so-called video shoot together is probably just a pretext; the other party's real purpose is to deliver the money.

Then, they might board the Toyokawa family's chariot and perhaps even plan to switch careers and enter the officialdom.

Didn't someone similar appear in Tokyo not long ago?

This older woman is not to be underestimated…

Ningzi seems to have mentioned that this guy initially tried to get her to join a band? Haha, sure enough, getting Ningzi into a band without a clear purpose was definitely an attempt to control her and then exploit her.

This guy... needs further investigation; he's definitely not as simple as she thinks...
