Chapter 9: The depressed Mori Kogoro
"Daddy! As soon as I cleaned up, you made such a mess of the living room."
........
At the Maori Detective Agency, a few empty wine bottles were messily poured on the coffee table in the living room.
The TV shows the members of the Earth Ladies being interviewed by the host.
"Hey, hey! Miss Yoko is so good-looking, and the other three are good."
Mori Kogoro, who had just finished breakfast, was drinking wine while commenting on several beautiful women on the TV show, and the pain of divorce could no longer be seen from him.
Xiaolan, who had just finished cleaning up the kitchen, saw this situation and wanted to get angry, thinking that her father should use alcohol to kill his sorrows and force his face to laugh to cover up the pain caused by the divorce.
Helplessly, Xiaolan had to bring her equipment back and clean up.
"Lift your feet"!
"Both have to be lifted".
Xiaolan took a mop and cleaned up the garbage thrown by Kogoro Maori.
"Hey, by the way, Xiaolan, I just saw that there is a moving master in the opposite house who is moving things in a car, is there anyone who wants to move in"?
Kogoro Mori remembered that when he got up in the morning, he saw several moving trucks parked on the side of the road downstairs, and the moving workers carried the furniture into the opposite yard.
"Oh! You say the other side? When I got up this morning to buy groceries, I saw more than a dozen maids cleaning inside, and now that the furniture has been delivered, someone must be moving in"!
Xiaolan said in combination with what she saw in the morning.
"So it seems that we have another neighbor, and the person who can afford to buy this kind of house seems to be a rich man, so we must communicate more in the future, and by the way, we will start the business of the firm."
Mori Kogoro hadn't seen anyone yet, but he was thinking about how to deepen his friendship with the other party.
"Dad, are you thinking a little far? I don't know if my future neighbors are easy to get along with, but if I have a good personality, it's fine, but if I don't do it, I will have a headache."
After cleaning the living room, Xiaolan finally relaxed, sat on the sofa and said a little worriedly.
"Why do you want to do so much! Most of the rich people are still very easy to get along with, like rattan ..... It's like a garden."
Mori Kogoro almost said the name of his first enemy, but fortunately he reacted quickly.
"Daddy! Didn't you say you didn't blame Mom for the two of them? How can it still be ......"?
"I don't have a problem with your mother, I just have an opinion about that stinky boy, and I hate it more than Shinichi".
Now Mori Kogoro feels a stomachache at the thought of Fujiwara Chiba and his ex-wife kissing me.
Xiaolan didn't feel strange when she learned that her parents were divorced the day before yesterday.
There is only a little sadness and regret in her heart, but it is a pity that for so many years, no matter how many times she has been connected between her parents, she has ended in failure.
It's good to end up like this now, no one will delay anyone, and the one thing that is not good is the guy Fujiwara Chiba.
couldn't catch her up at school, so he chose to steal his house, and even returned his hand, it's angry to think about it.
"Ding Ling, Ding Ling ......"!
"Xiaolan went to open the door, there should be a client coming to the door, hehe! I had business delivered to my door early in the morning, and it seems that my luck has increased a lot after the divorce."
Mori Kogoro put the unfinished wine in the refrigerator, straightened his clothes in the mirror, and sat on the sofa with his eyebrows raised and waited for the client to come in.
"Mom! Thousand... Chiba! How did you guys get here? Come on in".
Xiaolan's voice at the door came into the living room.
"Mom"?
Mori Kogoro heard Ran's voice, and the smug expression on his face disappeared.
"Dad, Mom and Chiba are here".
Xiaolan hugged Fei Yingli's arm and walked in overjoyed.
"Come on, come on! What does it have to do with me, and it's not coming to see me".
Mori Kogoro leaned back on the sofa and said weakly.
"What? Didn't Uncle Maori welcome me and Eiri? Then we'll leave."
Seeing this, Fujiwara Chiba pretended to pull Concubine Yingli away.
"I didn't diswelcome Yingli, I just didn't welcome you stinky boy."
Mori Kogoro didn't hide his thoughts at all.
"Alas! That's a pity, I brought you two bottles of good wine, and it seems that I have to give them to someone else."
After Fujiwara Chiba finished speaking, he shook the two bottles of wine in his hand in front of Maori Kogoro's eyes.
"Moutai"?
"Gollum...."!
Seeing the name of the package, Mori Kogoro couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Mori Kogoro looked at Fujiwara Chiba, then at the two bottles of wine he was carrying, and finally wanted to overcome dignity.
"Let's talk about it first! I'm not for your wine, I just don't want to embarrass Xiaolan."
After Maori Kogoro took the wine, he did not forget to justify his actions.
"Yes, we don't know what Uncle Maori is? Open the wine and let's drink a little together".
Fujiwara Chiba knew that Mori Kogoro said opposite.
"Let's go Xiaolan, let's go to the side and say something."
Concubine Yingli took Xiaolan to the side and whispered.
"No, I don't want to drink with you anymore."
Remembering that last time he missed the opportunity to apologize because he drank with this kid, Mori Kogoro regretted it.
"What? Uncle Maori is still angry with me? It's all about men who can be generous"?
After Fujiwara Chiba said this, he felt a little weak, and couldn't help but say in his heart: "How could I say such shameless words."
Sure enough, after Maori Kogoro heard Fujiwara Chiba's words, he stared straight at him, wondering if his ears had heard it wrong, and he couldn't understand how such a shameless person had survived until now.
"Uncle Maori, I chose to be with Yingli, everything is for your good, you shouldn't have an opinion on me! Honestly, you should thank me".
When Mori Kogoro heard this, his eyes were about to jump out of shock.
"I'm just now realizing that you're not thick-skinned, you're shameless! Thank you? If I don't beat you to vent my anger, I'll already cheapen you, thank you? I haven't drunk yet! You're drunk"?
"No, Uncle Maori, don't scold me yet! I'll tell you why it makes sense and see if it makes sense."
Fujiwara Chiba thought to himself that he was not cheeky anyway, so let's throw it thoroughly!
"You say, I'll see how round you are, come, go on".
Kogoro Maori looked at Chiba Fujiwara in a posture that you continue to perform.
Even the two girls who were whispering next to them stopped, wanting to hear what Fujiwara Chiba could say.
"Uncle Maori, think about it, every time I came to your house in the past, when I asked Yingli about it, what did you tell me?"
"I remember you said that, you Aunt Yingli! I look average, my temper is still bad, and I have to be hospitalized after cooking, and now I don't know how difficult it was for my uncle and me to do it before! That's what Uncle Maori said, right?"
When Maori Kogoro heard this, he felt that something was going to happen, and sure enough, a murderous aura flew straight towards him.
When I wanted to interrupt Fujiwara Chiba to continue, I suddenly thought that Fei Yingli had nothing to do with him anymore, and since it didn't matter, what else was I afraid of.
"Is there anything wrong with what I'm saying? I don't lie, don't believe yourself, ask her if I'm wrong?"
Maori Kogoro, who wanted to understand, immediately straightened his waist and fearlessly faced the murderous master.
After Fujiwara Chiba heard Maori Kogoro's answer, he was happy in his heart, since the opponents have given him a chance, then he must take advantage of it, after all, he has always remembered the knife of Maori Kogoro in the hotel that day, this hatred.
"So I was thinking, since you and Yingli are in such pain, as Xiaolan's father, I must rescue you from Yingli's clutches."
At this time, Fei Yingli pouted disapprovingly.
"So for my uncle to be able to live happily in the future, and for others not to have the opportunity to be persecuted by Yingli, I decided to serve the witch with my body."
"Uncle Maori! Now do you know how much I've contributed for you"?
Fujiwara Chiba's performance is just a few tears away from being perfect.
"Huh! Then I thank you! Didn't you say you were going to drink? Come on! If you don't get drunk today, you won't go home".
Maori Kogoro saw that he couldn't say it, so he had to find a way to take revenge at the wine table, who made the other party too shameless!
"Good! If you don't get drunk, you don't go home".
Fujiwara Chiba didn't think much about it, so he opened a bottle of liquor he brought.
"Let's talk about it first! After drinking, go back to your own house, I don't have any extra room here for you to use."
Mori Kogoro said, picking up the glass.
"Bump"!
"Don't worry! Engri and I live opposite you, and I go back to my own house."
Fujiwara Chiba picked up the wine glass and touched it lightly with Mori Kogoro, and replied indifferently.
"What? The person who is going to move in across from you is you"?
Mori Kogoro couldn't believe it when he heard the news, and he thought that he would see this stinky boy every day when he went out in the future, and he was even more unhappy.
"Mom! Is what Chiba said true"?
Unlike Maori Kogoro, Xiaolan was a little excited when she heard this, and she would be able to see her mother every day in the future.
"It's true, when I was looking for a house, I found that there was a three-story villa for sale here, so I discussed it with Chiba and bought it, so that I can take care of you conveniently in the future."
Fei Yingli felt that she owed Xiaolan too much for her daughter, so she wanted to get closer and make up for her.
"Xiaolan, do I want to take you to visit, you can also pick a room, and when your father is not at home in the future, you will come and live with me."
Fei Yingli asked Xiaolan.
"Is that okay"?
When Xiaolan spoke, she looked at Fujiwara Chiba, after all, her mother didn't live alone now.
"Of course I'm fine! Besides, your mother is now in charge of our family, and Yingli's words are a holy decree to me."
Fujiwara Chiba is too late to be happy! How could it be opposed.
"Let's go, Xiaolan! Let's not bother him with the two of them drinking here."
Fei Yingli pulled Xiaolan and walked out.
There were two big men left in the room, one was full of spring breeze and the other was depressed.
"Uncle Maori, let's have a toast for us to be neighbors, I'll do it first."
Fujiwara Chiba said to Maori Kogoro who was in a daze with a wine glass.
"Well, cheers"!
Mori Kogoro's tone became lifeless again
