Conan: Someone is always trying to murder me

As the black Porsche 356A gradually left, Tokiwa Mio looked at Kishida with complicated eyes for a long time in the elevator, and then pursed her lips and said: "You seem to have changed a lot, Xiao Yuichi."

"After going through a lot of things, no one will remain unchanged."

Kishida replied lightly.

This ambiguous answer is very useful for people like Tokiwa Mio who are very smart and very familiar with Kishida's original body.

Because smart people have a characteristic, they always like to use their own inferences to make up for the part that others don't say in their words, and they are often very "in line" with reality.

"Yes, so many things happened in just one year."

As expected, Tokiwa Mio didn't ask more. In her opinion, Kishida's father died, and he no longer had the so-called "discipline", so it was understandable that he would become so "free and easy".

"However, I thought that after so many things happened, you would at least be more mature, but I didn't expect..."

Tokiwa Mio glanced at Kishida, seeming a little disappointed.

"Be more mature? You mean learn to flatter and compromise?"

Kishida said sarcastically with a twitch of his face.

"People are always helpless when they are alive, we..."

"The money I have is enough for my whole life. Although I may not be able to spend lavishly for the rest of my life, and my life will be a little dull, I am already very satisfied.

So, I don't pursue more money and power, so I don't need to ask others for anything, let alone flatter. As for others who want to play tricks on me...haha!"

Even though he was very impatient in his heart, Kishida still explained patiently, but at the end, he couldn't help but sneered.

If others dare to play tricks on him, he doesn't mind letting people know why the flowers are so red.

And what needs to be known is that although this world is very different from the previous life, it is still very similar in some aspects. Kishida can completely rely on the funds he has on hand to invest or something.

"...You have really changed!"

Tokiwa Mio was silent for a long time before she said in a deep voice.

"I just figured it out. There's no need to live too hard."

Kishida shook his head. He has always been a spontaneous person. He should enjoy life, especially when he has the conditions. There's no need to compromise himself.

Well, for some people with strong utilitarianism, it's a bit harsh to say that it's actually a lack of ambition.

And obviously, Tokiwa Mio thinks so.

"We can get more..."

"Don't try to convince me. This is my own choice. Just like I don't understand you. You are the only successor to Tokiwa Group. Everything you do will only benefit others in the end. But I still respect your choice to live so compromisingly."

Kishida waved his hand and interrupted her.

This woman didn't seem to be hostile to him. On the contrary, she just kept defending herself, and there was no trace of falsehood in her expression. This is why Kishida said so much nonsense to her.

Although this point is contrary to the conclusion that Kishida came to after talking to this woman on the phone last time, but this woman really seems to care about him.

Kishida didn't know what the story was, nor was he interested, but he would never waste someone's kindness to him, especially in this world, when most of the extras who appeared in the original work hated him...

So even if he didn't like Tokiwa Mio's way of dealing with people, he didn't dislike her very much...

"This is the honor of the Tokiwa family. I promised my father that I would never let the Tokiwa family fall in my hands. As for the next successor, I will choose a man who is willing to marry into my Tokiwa family."

Tokiwa Mio replied with a firm look.

"Whatever you want! This is your pursuit, and I have mine. Okay, don't talk nonsense, don't forget the reason you asked me to come here today, where is the art dealer? Hasn't he come yet?"

Kishida spread his hands and turned the topic to the second purpose of his coming here today.

"Well, I'm sorry, he said he had something to do and couldn't make it, so he entrusted me to take full responsibility this time."

Tokiwa Mio replied apologetically.

"Oh!? It seems..."

"Ding!"

This time, Kishida hadn't finished talking when the elevator finally reached the 75th floor.

It's true that although the elevator was moving slowly, there was no shaking feeling when it stopped, and it was quite comfortable to sit in the whole process.

"Hehe, it seems that you have a good relationship with that art dealer!"

As the elevator door opened, Kishida glanced at the banquet hall casually and continued the previous topic.

"It's okay. After all, there have been several transactions. The other party still trusts me."

Tokiwa Mio nodded.

"Then the price is also...Hehe, Conan, this is the first time I find that you welcome me~~"

Kishida was about to inquire about the price they offered, but he saw Conan, whose face was full of black lines and gloom, running towards him angrily. He couldn't help but be attracted by his attention and chuckled.

"You bastard...Um!" Conan was about to blurt out "soul bastard", but swallowed it back when he saw Kishida's raised fist.

He wanted to ask Kishida many questions, but it was obvious that this was not a suitable place to discuss the winery. He could only grit his teeth and stare at Kishida like a puppy. Apart from making Kishida feel a little cute, he had no killing power.

"Tokiwa, Kishida boy, what did you do just now?"

At this time, Maori Kogoro and others also came over. After nodding to Tokiwa Mio, they all turned their eyes to Kishida.

"What else can I do? Go down to find the toilet! Of course, by the way, I went to see why someone hasn't come back yet."

Kishida talked nonsense casually, and then glanced at Tokiwa Mio's profile as if inadvertently. Well, his pretending to be arrogant was obviously learning from Huiyuan...

"Oh~~ That's it!"

As expected, this kind of arrogant speech made them automatically imagine Kishida's inexplicable behavior.

Obviously, as the nephew of Tokiwa Mio, it is normal for Kishida to go down to see his aunt after she was half-hugged by a disgusting city councillor and did not return. As for the lame excuse of finding a toilet, it is obvious that it is fake.

"Not bad!"

In the surprised and complicated look of Tokiwa Mio, Maori Kogoro patted Kishida's shoulder with a little satisfaction and praised him.

(＃￣～￣＃) Hehe~~

Conan's mouth twitched, and he sneered in his heart.

There is no way he would believe it! He is not the sleepyhead Maori Kogoro!

Let's not talk about anything else, but the astonishment and helplessness on the faces of the two women beside him, one big and one small, can show that this guy's girlfriend and sister are also very speechless at this time.

"Don't think too much. I just want to solve the business here and go back early!"

Kishida Xiang pretended to curl his lips and said a little embarrassedly.

"Haha, are you in a hurry to go back, Xiao Yuichi? It's rare for you to come to your aunt's place once, so you should have a meal with me before you go back." Tokiwa Mio chuckled, and it seemed that her mood improved a lot.

"I'm in a hurry today. However, if you can give me a satisfactory price and let us quickly reach a deal, I don't mind having a meal with you."

Kishida narrowed his eyes slightly, looking like everyone was willing to discuss.

Although he didn't plan to sell art, the price offered by Tokiwa Mio could also be used as a reference to measure the value of this batch of goods.

"Then let's go to the meeting room first. I'm sorry, Senior Maori, I haven't been able to treat you well after you came all the way here!"

Tokiwa Mio glanced at the people present, and then fell on Maori Kogoro, bowed slightly to him, and said with great apology.

"It's okay, it's okay! Work is important, and I don't have anything to do today anyway~" Maori Kogoro scratched his head and laughed.

"Then I'll leave Senior Sawaguchi and Mori to you. Please take them around first!"

Hearing this, Tokiwa Mio was no longer polite and turned to Sawaguchi's secretary and told him.

To be honest, she has a really good relationship with Mori Kogoro...

Then, with Sawaguchi's secretary's reply, Tokiwa Mio brought Kishida to a small but well-lit conference room.

However, strangely, as soon as Tokiwa Mio entered the conference room, her steps paused for a moment, and her eyes seemed to have discovered something, but in just a moment, she walked to the chair in the conference room as if nothing had happened, and signaled Kishida with her eyes to sit opposite her.

Kishida felt a little strange about this, but he still didn't understand one thing...

"You don't seem to be surprised that I know Uncle Mori?"

As soon as he sat on the chair, Kishida asked curiously.

He suddenly remembered that she was going to introduce Uncle Mori to him two days ago!

However, now that she saw that she and Uncle Mori were obviously very familiar with each other, she didn't express the slightest surprise.

"I'm curious, but this is obviously not the point of our coming here, right?"

However, what made Kishida feel even more strange was that Tokiwa Mio suddenly became a different person. She looked very indifferent, as if the person who gave Kishida a vague sense of intimacy just now was not her.

Well, why does she feel like she did on the phone now!

Is this woman also mentally ill! ?

No, why did I say "also" again! ?

Kishida was stunned and quickly spat at himself in his heart.

However, although he felt very confused and couldn't figure out why Tokiwa Mio changed so quickly, since Tokiwa Mio looked like a business person, he was also happy to be arrogant.

So, Kishida instantly crossed his legs, with obvious ridicule on his face, and looked at her leisurely and asked:

"Hehe, that's right! Tell me, how much price do you plan to give?"
