"I know~" Ying Lili looked at Luo Shu strangely, and then complained: "Is it necessary to pinch me for this matter?"
Hearing this, Luo Shu rolled his eyes and said, "I was just trying to remind you to go and receive them! You idiot, do you want me to do it? In what capacity should I receive them?"
"You...uh, it seems to be right." Eriri only reacted then and said with a confused look on her face.
Sayuri Sawamura is pretending to cry, and the identity of this cheap guy Luo Shu cannot be exposed. It seems that she is the only one who is suitable for reception?
Thinking of this, Ying Lili couldn't help but look embarrassed. She quickly stood up, walked towards Emma, and shouted awkwardly:
"Aunt Emma..."
Before she finished speaking, Emma on the other side sighed and said in a soft voice:
"Sorry, Eriri, I'm late."
"Ah...oh..." Ying Lili didn't know how to answer and could only respond awkwardly twice.
Seeing this scene, Luo Shu covered his face and sighed, feeling quite disappointed with Ying Lili's social skills.
However, it seems that Sayuri Sawamura had anticipated this and did not express any opinion on Eriri's social skills at all.
Emma was very aware of Eriri's awkwardness, so she forced a smile and raised her hand to rub Eriri's head.
Ying Lili shuddered and looked hesitant, but in the end she did not refuse the other party's head pat.
"Go sit over there, I'll talk to your mother."
Emma didn't seem surprised by Eriri's reaction. She explained softly and walked towards Sayuri Sawamura.
When passing by Luo Shu, Emma smiled and nodded at him.
In response, Luo Shu just narrowed his eyes, nodded, and sat there quietly waiting for something.
After a few steps, Emma came to Sayuri Sawamura, took a few steps forward, took out a white envelope from the small bag she was carrying, stuffed a few old bills into it, and then threw the envelope into the cash box.
After she finished doing all this, she turned around, walked over to Sayuri Sawamura, sat down, and said:
"Try to look forward, Sayuri."
Sayuri Sawamura raised her head slightly when she heard this, and then said in a hoarse voice:
".....Do you really think so?"
Hearing this, Emma showed a slightly regretful expression and sighed:
"If Robert were still alive, I wouldn't want you to be sad like this."
"What do I care what he does?"
Sayuri Sawamura said as if she was complaining:
"He left me and Eriri without permission and just ran away. If I had the chance, I would hit him with a baseball bat!"
"His death puts all the problems behind him, but it caused me to be blamed by his family."
"If Eriri hadn't been here, England would have wanted to eat up our Sawamura family."
"The Spencers wouldn't do that."
Hearing this, Emma said helplessly:
"¨' Didn't we agree on this before? After Robert married into the family, everything in the Spencer family had nothing to do with him. Since it had nothing to do with him, why would the Spencer family come to steal the Sawamura family's things?"
"That's just Robert's own little family, not the whole of Spencer."
Sayuri Sawamura explained, and then said:
"But they do want to grab it... but they can never get it."
Sayuri Sawamura snorted and sneered:
"But it doesn't matter. I won't give them a cent anyway. Even if Robert dies, his ashes will be buried in my family's cemetery, under the protection of the ancestors of my Sawamura family!"
"What do you mean by returning to one's roots? What do you mean by the glory of the Spencer family? They can forget about it!"
Hearing these words that sounded like "angry words", Emma's expression was somewhat unnatural.
Suppressed by the ancestors of the Sawamura family?
This was not a funny thing, and she knew Sayuri Sawamura's character very well. If Spencer in England really pissed Sayuri off, she would really ask a Taoist priest to suppress her husband's remains.
So, what did Spencer's family say? Her clone didn't seem to find anything either?
Just when Emma was confused, Sayuri Sawamura wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, then said to her with a smile:
"Come to think of it, I almost forgot to tell you."
"Did you notice that kid?
Hearing what Sayuri Sawamura said, Emma couldn't help but look at Luo Shu. At this time, Luo Shu also nodded slightly at her and pulled Eriri next to him.
Seeing this, Emma cooperated and asked, "Who is that child?"
At this time, Sayuri Sawamura seemed to have found a backbone and said happily:
"That child is the one I chose to be the next head of the Sawamura family."
After saying that, Sayuri Sawamura paused, looked at Emma meaningfully and said:
"He is also Eriri's future husband."
Chapter 187 Sayuri Sawamura's Smile
Eriri's future husband? Emma's expression seemed to freeze for a moment, and then she immediately said in surprise:
"That kid of Eriri... Is this kid Eriri's boyfriend?"
"When did this happen?"
"I remember when I talked to Eriri on the phone last month, I never heard her mention this person..."
Hearing this, Sayuri Sawamura seemed very happy with Emma's reaction and said with a smile:
"It seems that Eriri has also kept it a secret from you~"
"You hid it from me too?"
Emma's face twitched, and she couldn't help but glance at Ying Lili. How could this child's IQ be hidden from me?
She felt something strange in her heart, and looked at Eriri again, then turned around and asked Sayuri Sawamura in a low voice:
"What's going on? Wasn't the boy that Eriri had a crush on before the one named Tomoya Aki?"
“That was all a few years ago.”
Sayuri Sawamura said with a smile, as if she was still talking about some last century joke:
"Eriri hasn't been in touch with Tomoya-kun since junior high school."
"As for Luo Shujun..."
Sayuri Sawamura paused, then looked at Luo Shu, showing a slightly happy smile and said:
"He happened to be a student at Toyonosaki Academy, just like Eriri. The two met on campus, and it seems they were in the same club. As time went by, problems arose after they spent a lot of time together."
"Humph, I don't know what's wrong with that kid lately. He's gotten much better at hiding his thoughts. He even hid it from me, 920."
"A student from the same school..." Emma looked a little unnatural when she heard this.
She never expected that a person like Luo Shu would actually be a student, and actually go to the same school as Ying Lili.
Such information has never been seen outside. Was it specially handled within SDS?
"Yeah, I never thought that the kid could actually fall in love in high school. I thought that with the kid's personality, it would take longer, even until after the age of 30."
"To be honest, if Luo Shu-kun hadn't taken the initiative to ask Eriri to confess to her family, I don't know how long she would have been kept in the dark."
At this point, Sayuri Sawamura suddenly said in a somewhat depressed mood:
"Originally, I wanted to give Robert a surprise."
"After all, you and I both know that with Eriri's personality, it's really difficult for her to find a suitable boy. Now that she has finally found a suitable one, this happened..."
Hearing Sayuri Sawamura's depressed tone, Emma's expression was slightly distorted.
In other words, on the day when she planned to fake her death and escape, Luo Shu's visit was actually the first time a son-in-law visited his parents-in-law's home?
So, it wasn't that Luo Shu discovered her as a cadre of a secret organization and was going to arrest her? Instead, he came to visit her?
How could this happen...Emma suddenly realized that she seemed to have been wrong all along.
She had always thought that a 'big shot' like the Director of the Secret Management Department would not visit the Sawamura family for no reason, so she put herself in the perspective that her identity might be discovered.
After all, when the soldiers suddenly approached the bandits' lair, the bandits would of course immediately suspect whether the soldiers' motive was to capture the bandits, and they would instinctively become defensive.
But if we add the concept of "home is nearby" to this soldier, from a God's perspective, it would seem that the bandit is overly nervous.
However, the most embarrassing and subtle thing is that she is the bandit... Thinking of this, Emma's face was slightly distorted.
How could a demigod fall in love with a timid and tsundere girl who was not only good-looking but also timid? Emma finally realized how absurd the real world was.
If Emma was not certain that the cover-up method she used on Eriri was a secret technique derived from arrogance, she would have suspected that Luo Shu had already discovered something.
But if nothing was discovered and it was simply emotions...Thinking of this, Emma's face began to twist slightly.
However, considering that not only was Sayuri Sawamura present, but also Luo Shu, the ignorant SDS demigod, Emma quickly restrained her expression and showed a slightly happy expression:
"Don't be too sad, Sayuri."
"Although Robert died unexpectedly, you still have to support this family!"
"Supporting the family?"
Sayuri Sawamura seemed to be "reminded" of something. She glanced at Luo Shu very obviously, then smiled and said:
"I guess I won't have to hold on for much longer."
Saying this, Sayuri Sawamura took a deep breath and said:
"I plan to have Eriri and Luo Shu-kun get married in May."
Hearing this, Emma said with a very unnatural expression:
"Isn't this a bit too hasty? Robert just died after all..."
"Besides, aren't you too familiar with Luo Shujun? It's not easy to see a person clearly in such a short time. Don't do something you will regret because of a momentary impulse."
"Be careful, Sayuri."
We were going to get married in May, but it’s April 4th now.
That means we will get married in about 10 days?
Doesn't that mean that for the next period of time, or even now, there will be a demigod around Eriri, and even protecting her closely?
Wouldn't this interrupt some of her thoughts?
In this regard, Emma wanted to persuade Sayuri Sawamura to calm down without thinking.
At least, let it take longer, preferably more than two months, or even half a year.
But before Emma could say anything else, Sayuri Sawamura stroked her cheek and said in an unprecedentedly gentle tone:
"I didn't feel impulsive, I even felt it was just right."
"After all, after Robert left, it was Luo Shu who had been running around for my family. Even this morning, he was the one who helped and supported me behind the scenes."
"And according to Eriri, there seems to be a child named Kasumigaoka Utaha who is competing with her in Toyo-no-Zaki."
"It would be bad if such a good child was snatched away by someone else..."
"You know, I waited for him for a long time before I finally got him."
Listening to Sayuri Sawamura's words, Emma's expression changed slightly, and she kept thinking about how to deal with the current situation.
No, I have to change Sayuri's mind, at least delay it for a while... Emma moved a distance and got closer to Sayuri Sawamura. Just as she moved, her nose suddenly moved slightly.
For some reason, she smelled a strange smell. The smell was very faint, and it was almost impossible to smell it unless you were very close to Sayuri Sawamura.
And this smell seems to be... the scent of heather? ...And the scent comes from Sayuri Sawamura?
Suddenly, Emma noticed the problem in Sayuri Sawamura's words before.
"Has Luo Shu always been helping him? Even this morning, he was the one who 'supported' me from behind?"
