Chapter 143: Sonoko and Zeyu's first meeting
Sonoko dared to guarantee that Hanai Akiko had come here, and the organizer, the Yotsuba Group, was definitely aware of the news.

However, Chairman Shii did not consider Hanai Akiko as the special guest for tonight, but chose Mouri Kogoro. Isn't he afraid of offending Hanai Akiko?

As the chairman of Shijing, when he met Hanai Akiko, he didn't even have the time to curry favor with her, but dared to offend her?

Is it suicide?
"He originally wanted me to be the special guest tonight, but I refused." Hanai Akiko took a sip of red wine and said lightly: "I like quietness, I don't want to be in the spotlight, and I don't want to attract too much attention from others."

"Let the famous Maori detective steal the spotlight. He is much more famous than me. With him attracting everyone's attention, no one will notice me. I am happy to be quiet."

Yuanzi nodded thoughtfully.

Because Hanai Akiko seldom appears in public, people outside do not know the character of the chairman of the Hanai Group and can only make guesses.

Everyone thinks that Hanai Akiko is a cold person, or rather, an arrogant person who thinks she is of noble status and disdains to attend other people's parties.

Before tonight, even Sonoko thought so.

Now, after exchanging a few words with her, Sonoko realized that Hanai Akiko's personality was not cold at all. She just hated wasting time and preferred quietness, so she didn't like noisy parties.

The reason is that simple.

Just when Yuanzi came to the conclusion, a childish, clear and pleasant voice was heard from the side.

"Hey, two big sisters, can we sit here?" A beautiful little boy with blond hair raised his head and looked at Hanai Akiko and Sonoko with a gentle smile on his face.

Next to him stood a little brown-haired girl with an indifferent expression, standing side by side with the blond boy.

It was Sawaha and Haibara Ai.

"Children, you ..."

Seeing this, Yuanzi was stunned for a moment.

Her eyes swept over Huibara Ai, feeling a little surprised, and she came to a conclusion.

This little girl looks very much like myself when I was a child, both with brown hair and ice-blue eyes.

Even compared to my younger self, he is just a little more indifferent and not as enthusiastic as I am now.

Maybe, this tea-haired little girl is her father's illegitimate daughter?

Yuanzi had some strange thoughts in her mind.

Then, Sonoko shifted her gaze and fixed her eyes on Ze Yu, looking at him carefully, her eyes full of disbelief.

If Haibara Ai's appearance only surprised Sonoko, then Sawaha's appearance shocked her.

It is worth mentioning that although Sonoko and 'Aragaki Nijuu' have met many times, they are considered good friends.

However, this was the first time she encountered the identity of 'Aragaki Sawaha'.

Even though Xiaolan once told Sonoko about Sawaha, she had never seen him in person. Now was the first time they met, so Sonoko naturally didn't know that the blond boy in front of her was the 'Xiaoha' that Xiaolan mentioned.

She only knew...

The blond boy in front of her was so adorable that she felt an urge to hold him tightly in her arms and ravage him.

Yuanzi quickly suppressed the impulse in her heart.

But that's not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that this blond shota looks exactly like someone.

It was Aragaki Rikuha. After seeing Zeha, Sonoko couldn't help but make a guess in her heart.

Could it be that this unknown blond boy is Mr. Aragaki Iroha's younger brother?

After all, they look so alike, they must be brothers, there is no doubt about it.

Whether it is Aragaki Rikuha or Aragaki Sawaha, they both have appearance that exceeds human limits. There are no more similar examples in the world.

Sonoko dared to guarantee that there was definitely a blood relationship between Aragaki Ijiuha and this blond shota.

Thinking of this, a strange smile appeared on Sonoko's face, like a strange uncle, which made Ze Yu shiver uncontrollably.

"Big sister, what are you going to do?"

Ze Yu took a step back and asked warily.

He always felt that Yuanzi seemed to have ill intentions towards him, and he had to be vigilant so as not to let the other party succeed.

Even Ze Yu didn't know why Sonoko, this lovelorn girl, would show such a strange smile when facing her seven-year-old self. It was really scary.

Even though Sonoko would be infatuated with Sawaha when she was in her 20s, she would not smile like that.

As a result, Ze Yu switched to the seven-year-old state, and the situation became different.

It’s weird.

Just by changing his identity, he was able to test two different reactions of Yuanzi.

"Big sister, you..." Haibara Ai looked at Sonoko with a puzzled look, as if she was looking at a weird old man.

Yuanzi put away her strange smile and immediately returned to normal, saying with a smile: "Children, of course you can sit here, big sister welcomes you very much."

"Okay, then I'll sit down." Ze Yu nodded gently, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, took Huibara Ai's little hand, and sat on the two seats next to Sonoko.

Haibara Ai seemed very well-behaved. She did not resist and let Ze Yu hold her little hand and sit together.

After Sawaha appeared, Hanai Akiko didn't say anything, but just smiled at him.

However, her smile seemed a little stiff.

My boss ran to my side and sat down. What should I do?
Waiting online, very urgent!

"Ms. Hanai Akiko, why aren't you talking?" Sonoko turned around and asked curiously.

"Nothing." Hanai Akiko tried to look natural and said with a smile, "Hello, little friends. I'm 'Hanai Akiko'. You can just call me 'Hanai Sister'."

When she said this, she felt a little frightened, and even her voice was a little trembling. However, except Ze Yu, no one noticed her abnormality.

Akiko Hanai's heart was beating fast, especially when she asked Ze Yu to call her "Sister Hanai", she almost stopped breathing in panic.

However, there was no other way. Even though she was trembling with nervousness, she still had to perform the role. After all, it was the boss's order.

Who made her a subordinate?
However, performing this play really gave Hanai Akiko a serious scare.

As a subordinate, in order to cooperate with the boss in acting, he actually regarded his boss as a child and even asked the boss to call him sister...

It would be strange if she wasn't nervous.
