Chapter 52: Being a Butler is Not Easy~
Chi Feichi suggested sending Haibara Ai back, and it was around evening when he returned to the Morizono Residence with Morizono Kikuto.
As soon as Morizono Kikuto parked the car, he heard movement at the Entrance. He walked out of the Garage and his expression immediately turned gloomy.
Chi Feichi also glanced over from afar.
Sure enough, besides Akio Shigematsu and a girl walking at the back, Conan, Mouri Ran, and Mori Kogoro trio had arrived, and Hattori Heiji and Kazuha Toyama were also there.
"Let's go inside first."
Hearing Chi Feichi's calm voice, Morizono Kikuto also calmed down a bit, nodded, but remained silent with a sullen face even after returning to his Room on the Second Floor.
Chi Feichi walked to the Windowside, looking at the group of people walking over Outside, "The girl walking at the back is your Fiancee, right?"
"Yeah…" Morizono Kikuto nodded.
"She and Mr. Yingting are wearing the same necklace," Chi Feichi said.
Returning at this Time was to proactively bring up this matter before Morizono Kikuto could say it, further hinting that he was thinking for Morizono Kikuto and standing on Morizono Kikuto's side, strengthening trust.
Morizono Kikuto's expression was uncertain, and after a moment, he said, "Uncle Shigematsu threatened me to cancel the Wedding, it should also be because of that Yingting guy. He watched Yingting grow up and treats Yingting like his own child, so he's helping that guy snatch my Fiancee!"
"You can smash some Things," Chi Feichi reminded.
Morizono Kikuto was immediately choked by his words, feeling very uncomfortable, "Smash Things?"
Chi Feichi turned around, "I'll go call Uncle Shigematsu up."
Morizono Kikuto was puzzled, "Call him up now? Are we going to confront him directly?"
"To bluff him…"
…
Five minutes later, Chi Feichi left the Room and went downstairs.
Bluff?
He was breaking his heart for the reconciliation of this Family…
"Feichi, you're back? Where's Kikuto?" Morizono Yurie was about to go out, and when she saw Chi Feichi, she immediately pulled Chi Feichi along, "Forget about him, let's go see his Fiancee first!"
Outside, a group of people had already walked into the Courtyard.
Akio Shigematsu blankly looked at the messy Courtyard.
The fallen leaves piled on the ground had been swept clean, but among the Big Tree, there were a few standing there almost bald, very glaring.
Walkway Side, the row of Shrubs that looked like they had been gnawed by dogs was also very glaring.
What happened at Home during the day he was away?
"This…" Mori Kogoro held back for a while, then laughed and said, "This is really a unique aesthetic, this is abstract art!"
"Uh…" Akio Shigematsu didn't know how to explain for a moment.
Pianling Feng had been to the Morizono Residence before and knew what the Courtyard originally looked like, but hearing Mori Kogoro say this, she was also uncertain, "I-Is that so?"
"Uncle, you're really talking nonsense!" Hattori Heiji exposed him in a very annoying tone, pointing to the Shrubs by the road and saying, "Please, take a closer look, the Tree Branch breaks are of varying lengths and not neat, it's obvious they were broken off, not deliberately trimmed. There are still two pieces of broken Leaf that haven't been cleaned up over there, the edges are irregularly broken, they wouldn't be cut by scissors either."
Conan had already moved closer, picked up two pieces of broken Leaf, and observed one of them, "The root of this broken Leaf looks like it was forcefully cut by a sharp object, but the cut is not very smooth, it should be torn apart by some kind of Animal."
After speaking, he turned his Head and asked Akio Shigematsu in a childish voice, "Uncle Butler, are there Cats kept here?"
Akio Shigematsu nodded, "Ah, yes, there are…"
Hattori Heiji also approached Conan, bent down and looked at the broken Leaf, "The other broken Leaf has traces of Bird pecking, the chaos here should be caused by Cats and Birds playing around, right? But how many Cats and Birds would it take to make the Courtyard like this…"
Behind them, Chi Feichi walked over and heard what the two were saying.
Detectives are really creatures who like to Reasoning everything, but is Conan being a bit too reckless…
Morizono Yurie winked at Chi Feichi, let go of his hand, tidied her dress, walked forward, and sized up Pianling Feng with arrogant scrutiny, "Oh, you woman are my Younger Brother's Princess, right? Listen up, I don't care which big Company's President's Daughter you are, you better be mentally prepared, from today onwards, I will properly set perfect Family Rules for this Home!"
Pianling Feng was frightened, "Uh, yes…"
Mori Kogoro and Hattori Heiji and others were surprised, then their Eyes turned to Chi Feichi who was walking behind.
Chi Feichi nodded to the group.
Mori Kogoro was immediately speechless, why could he run into this kid even here?
"Huh?" Morizono Yurie noticed that the others were looking behind her and were not frightened by her at all, and also turned her Head to look at Chi Feichi, "Is he a bit more scary than me?"
Conan looked at Chi Feichi's emotionless Eyes, then looked at Morizono Yurie's puzzled and curious Face, wanted to nod, but still held back.
"I know them," Chi Feichi explained to Morizono Yurie.
"Is that so," Morizono Yurie turned her Head and saw Pianling Feng looking weak, and laughed, "Okay, just kidding, I'm Kikuto's Older Sister Yurie, I usually live Overseas and won't nag you, you can rest assured. He is my Cousin Chi Feichi, and will soon be your Cousin too, he's temporarily living here, his Personality is even less likely to nag anyone…"
"Young Miss," Akio Shigematsu stepped forward to greet her.
Morizono Yurie couldn't stop once she started complaining, and continued to pull Pianling Feng to talk, "And in two days his Father will come to pick him up, soon you won't have to see his cold Face."
Akio Shigematsu looked at Chi Feichi's indifferent appearance, and didn't say anything, greeting Chi Feichi, "Young Master Hissashi."
Chi Feichi nodded, indicating a greeting.
Akio Shigematsu looked at the overly talkative Morizono Yurie, and then looked at Chi Feichi who was always silent and staring at them, and sighed in his heart.
Over the years, he had always missed the Butler of the former Chi Family.
One constantly facing a Family of hidden chatterboxes, one constantly facing a Family of sullen people, in the past when the two of them got together to chat, they could also give each other more comfort.
Being a Butler is not easy.
It's just that he heard that the Chi Family couple gradually stopped going Home, and Young Master Hissashi also went to live near the School after high school, the Servants and Butler at Home had long since resigned, and he didn't know where his old Friend had gone now…
"Speaking of which, you're quite capable," Morizono Yurie laughed and poked Pianling Feng with her elbow, "Coming to our place often, you actually tamed my Younger Brother, that Playboy."
Akio Shigematsu came back to his senses and quickly explained, "No, Young Miss, actually it was Master who fell in love at first sight at first!"
"Really?" Morizono Yurie was puzzled, "Why didn't you tell me before?"
"This…" Akio Shigematsu hesitated.
"But well, wasn't it you who brought this Marriage together," Morizono Yurie didn't wait for an answer, stepped forward, smiled and winked, lowered her voice and said, "If you do it well, you might get some Reward from my Father!"
"Hmm…" Akio Shigematsu responded awkwardly.
Chi Feichi suddenly spoke, "Uncle Shigematsu, can you come with me for a moment?"
Akio Shigematsu was stunned for a moment, turned his Head to look at Mori Kogoro and his group, "Sure, but…"
"Cousin Kikuto is looking for you," Chi Feichi said.
"Okay, okay, I'll take them over, it's just right to tell them about the Situation here," Morizono Yurie saw Akio Shigematsu in a dilemma, took over the matter, looked at Mouri Ran and Kazuha Toyama, and said with a smile, "There are also two lovely girls here, maybe someone can make Feichi settle down too…"
"Don't randomly matchmake, they are already taken."
Chi Feichi reminded her, and left with Akio Shigematsu.
Hattori Heiji looked at Kazuha Toyama in confusion, "When did Kazuha become taken?"
Kazuha Toyama was speechless, scolding the idiot in her heart.
Mori Kogoro said unhappily, "That's nonsense, my Daughter has nothing to do with that Detective kid!"
Mouri Ran's Face immediately turned red, with bean eyes, did her Father's words count as admitting it without being asked…
…
The Courtyard was filled with laughter, but the atmosphere in Morizono Kikuto's Room was very gloomy.
Akio Shigematsu followed Chi Feichi into the Room, and at a glance, he saw a mess on the floor.
All the ornaments in the Room were smashed to pieces, scattered messily on the floor.
Morizono Kikuto sat on the Sofa in the Room Corner, waited for Chi Feichi to close the door, then raised his Eyes to look at Akio Shigematsu, and said in a low voice, "Uncle Shigematsu, I know everything."
Akio Shigematsu's expression panicked for a moment, "Young Master Kikuto, I…"
"Xiao Feng's Relationship with Yingting, your thoughts, I know all of these," Morizono Kikuto interrupted, "Do you think anything can be hidden from others for a lifetime? You also watched me grow up, I want to hear you explain it to me personally."
Akio Shigematsu hesitated for a moment, saw Morizono Kikuto's confident Face, and became more and more uncertain in his heart, and had to sigh, "That's right, nothing can be hidden from others for a lifetime, Master also knows about me and Madam, right…"
Morizono Kikuto's pretending to be calm expression was a bit broken, and he almost stood up directly.
Wait, what does this have to do with his parents?
How does this sentence sound so wrong?
Chi Feichi sat down beside him, pressed Morizono Kikuto's shoulder, and motioned for Morizono Kikuto to be calm.
Morizono Kikuto sat down, but his mind quickly filled with a bunch of 8 PM soap opera drama, as well as doubts about his origins, and his expression became very complicated.
Akio Shigematsu raised his Head and saw the change in Morizono Kikuto's expression, believed that the matter had not been concealed, and sighed, "At first, I didn't know Miss Xiao Feng was looking for Yingting, and thought she liked Master, so I brought you together. I only found out recently, but at that Time the Marriage had already been set, and Master, you had also settled down for Miss Xiao Feng, I really didn't have the heart to tell you the Truth, so I wanted to coerce you to back down by using the Company's affairs…"
"You want to coerce me for this? Did you ever think that by threatening me with the Company's affairs, it would make it even harder for me to accept?" Morizono Kikuto couldn't help but stand up excitedly, "No, let's not talk about those things first, tell me, what exactly is going on between you and my Mother?!"
