Chapter 199: Okiya Ang and Hua Lantian’s First Meeting (2)

Looking at Okiya Ang's behavior, Hua Lantian's mouth twitched, and then he suddenly remembered the first time he met Suzuki Sonoko and Xiaolan. Could it be today? He didn't want to interrupt their theoretical first showdown...

It was right to think so, but the reality was contrary to one's wishes. A loud exclamation came from behind, interrupting Hua Lantian's response to Chong Yaang.

“Brother-in-law…! Why are you here…?”

Turning around, he found that it was his sister-in-law Suzuki Sonoko and Xiaolan. Judging from their appearance, they probably just came after school.

(The original garden in front has been transformed into a good friend...)

Well, it was inevitable that he would be involved in this incident. He hoped that the two would not cause trouble and let him get involved. Otherwise, don't blame him for being ruthless and solving the case directly with cheats, Hua Lantian thought.

"Yeah, Brother Lantian, what are you doing...?"

Before Hua Lantian could speak, Xiaolan pointed at what Hua Lantian was holding with a puzzled look on her face and asked.

"Ah, I'm here to visit the person who lives in Kudo's house. I heard he likes to drink, so I bought this as a gift...!"

Hua Lantian was specifically referring to the people living in Kudo's house, not Kudo's family, hoping that Xiaolan would not misunderstand.

Unfortunately, Xiaolan automatically ignored those words. Suddenly, as if she had grasped the key point, she excitedly pulled Hua Lantian's clothes and asked:

"Is Shinichi back? No, no, Shinichi doesn't drink. Are those Shinichi's parents...? Then I can go and ask Shinichi where he went. Seriously, I don't see him every day and he doesn't even go to school...!"

"Um, Xiaolan, can you please let go for a moment? There's no need to get so excited. It wasn't Shinichi, and you probably didn't hear clearly just now. It was someone living in the Kudo residence, not the Kudo family... I heard they let a friend move in...!"

Hua Lantian was speechless, and then reminded Xiaolan not to get too excited and pull at his clothes. Fortunately, it was him who pulled with such force, because anyone else would have been shaken unconscious.

"Yes, yes, Xiaolan, my brother-in-law was clearly talking about the people living in Kudo's house. I didn't have time to remind you, but you got too excited. Oh, you missed your husband so much...!"

Sonoko came out at the right time to tease her best friend, but in fact she also blamed her brother-in-law a little. Because of that stinky man Shinichi, her brother-in-law was almost shaken apart by Xiaolan. But she knew how powerful Xiaolan was. She wondered if her sister would feel distressed when her brother-in-law was shaken like that just now.

“Ahahahaha, this, this, this…!”

Xiaolan, who had realized that something was wrong, suddenly narrowed her eyes and quickly let go of her hand. She then scratched her head, not knowing what to do.

At this time, the door of Kudo's house slowly opened, and then a man with pink hair and squinty eyes wearing a turtleneck sweater pulled the door handle with one hand, then looked at the scene in front of him strangely and asked:

"Excuse me, what's going on here...? Are you here looking for the original owner...? I don't remember you. If that's the case, I'm sorry, but you might be disappointed. The original owner isn't home. I'm just an ordinary graduate student who's been temporarily allowed to stay here...!"

"Hello, I'm your neighbor. I came to visit you. This is a gift, a fine bourbon. And these two are friends of the original owner...!"

Hua Lantian hurried over to explain...
