Two hours later, the car slowly drove into the entrance of the Cloud Residence with a gust of cold wind.
Riko Inoue had been resting with her eyes closed the whole time. Yoshimoto who sat in front did not disturb her either. Instead, he silently pointed the way for the driver.
When they were near the entrance of the Cloud Residence, Riko Inoue’s phone suddenly vibrated. Riko Inoue also recovered and quietly opened her beautiful eyes. She picked up the phone—
“h.e.l.lo? Uncle Fujiwara?”
That’s right, the phone call was from Fujiwara Kenji, Fujiwara Ye’s father!
“Riko, have you arrived in City Z?”
Fujiwara Kenji’s voice soon came from the other end. His tone was naturally filled with concern.
“I’ve already arrived. Uncle Fujiwara, don’t worry. I’ve arrived safely!” Riko Inoue also replied with a smile.
“That’s good. Enjoy yourself in the next few days. Then, Fujiwara Ye will accompany you, get to know each other better. You’re a very outstanding girl. I believe that he’ll like you.”
On the other end of the phone, Fujiwara Kenji seemed to have a lot of confidence in Riko Inoue.
“Thank you, Uncle Fujiwara. I understand. I’ll do my best.”
“Has Fujiwara received you?” Fujiwara asked.
“Uncle Fujiwara, I didn’t call Fujiwara Ye. I wanted to give him a surprise. Besides, I know where he lives, so there’s no need to trouble him to come and pick me up. Don’t worry, I’ll be arriving at Cloud Residence soon.”
Riko Inoue did not report to Fujiwara Kenji about Fujiwara Ye. Even if she wanted to subdue a man, she would not use such a stupid method.
Actually, Fujiwara Kenji knew very well that Fujiwara Ye did not send anyone to pick him up. However, he was naturally very satisfied with Riko Inoue’s actions—
Riko Inoue was the most suitable woman for Fujiwara Ye for the Fujiwara family. Only a woman like her and her background could subdue the entire Fujiwara family and become Fujiwara Ye’s a.s.sistant.
That was why he had been trying his best to bring Fujiwara and Riko Inoue together. He had put in a lot of effort.
“That’s good. If there’s anything, just tell me. Fujiwara is reckless and unruly. I hope that Riko can be more tolerant. He’s also a pretty good kid.”
“Don’t worry, Uncle Fujiwara. I trust Fujiwara-kun too.”
With that, the two people hung up. At that moment, the driver in front slowly stopped the car—
“Miss, we’ve arrived at Cloud Residence!”
Yoshimoto quickly got down from the car and opened the door.
Riko Inoue nodded and got out of the car unhurriedly. When she raised her eyes, she could see the quiet courtyard in front of him. The environment was elegant and the style was quite good. It was just like his character, Fujiwara.
Riko Inoue just stood there and did not move for a long time. It was not until Yoshimoto came up to her and asked, “Miss, shall we go in? Shall I go and call the door?”
At this moment, Riko Inoue finally reacted. She stretched out her hand to pull on her coat and nodded, “Go.”
At this moment, Yoshimoto went over to ring the doorbell. Soon, someone came over to welcome them.
It was Matsuda!
“h.e.l.lo, Miss Inoue!” Matsuda greeted her quite respectfully.
Riko Inoue glanced at him and frowned. She asked in a deep voice, “Where’s Fujiwara-kun?”
A smile appeared on Matsuda’s face, and he hurriedly replied, “Master had some urgent matters to attend to, so he left first. He said to let Miss Inoue rest for the time being. I’ve already gotten the housekeeper to arrange your room. Please come in!”
After Matsuda said this, Riko Inoue’s expression naturally did not look too good. She hesitated for a moment, then walked in with her footsteps, her aura somewhat cold.
Matsuda’s expression darkened for a moment before hurriedly following her in.
“Where did he go?” Riko Inoue, who was walking in front, asked.
“Master didn’t say. He probably went to the company. The company has been very busy recently, and Master almost always leaves early and returns late. However, he specifically instructed us to take good care of Miss Inoue!”
When Matsuda said this, his back was drenched in cold sweat. This Riko Inoue was not some simple character. He was also worried that if he did not handle it well, it would backfire. After all, the Fujiwara family’s relationship with the Inoue family was at stake!
Fujiwara’s att.i.tude towards Riko Inoue was clearly put. There was nothing he could do about it.
It was not easy for them to be subordinates. Master could be stubborn, but as subordinates, they needed to help them solve these difficult problems. Otherwise…
“Is that so?”
After Matsuda said this, Riko Inoue, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Matsuda. The look in her eyes actually made Matsuda feel a little uneasy and pressured!
“Mr. Matsuda, aren’t you Fujiwara-kun’s personal secretary? Don’t you know where Fujiwara-kun is? Is this how you take care of Fujiwara-kun?”
“Miss Inoue, please calm down. Master specifically asked me to wait for Miss Inoue at home. I’m worried that he might not be able to treat you well at the last minute. Please forgive me, Miss Inoue!”
Matsuda practically bowed and greeted her with a smile. With that look, Riko Inoue could not make things difficult for Matsuda anymore. She could only keep her voice down and continue walking forward.
…
At this moment, in the s.p.a.cious and comfortable study room of Lan Xiu’s residence…
Lan Xiu poured a cup of hot tea for Fujiwara and slowly moved the teacup in front of him. He silently looked at Fujiwara, who had his head lowered in silence. After hesitating for a moment, he said, “You seem to be in a bad state. Have a cup of tea.”
Fujiwara took a deep breath and slowly raised his gaze to look at him. After a long while, he picked up the teacup and took a simple sip. “I came to your place to have some peace and quiet. Otherwise, I won’t have anywhere to go.”
Hearing this, Lan Xiu was also in a daze for a moment. He quietly looked at Fujiwara. Seeing his desolate appearance, he felt a little uncomfortable. He thought about it and said, “I don’t know what happened after that either. How did you…?”
Run into Qi Lei? He seems to have been out of town for the past few days. Also, how could it be such a coincidence that a reporter captured this scene?
Speaking of this, Fujiwara could not help but feel a wave of headache—
He was not willing to see such a situation either. If this news were to spread back to j.a.pan, it would not be beneficial to him or Dongfang Liuyun. Previously, he did not have the ability to protect her. Now, although he had grown up a lot, he did not want her to bear it anymore.
“I’ve already asked Matsuda to investigate. This matter better be a coincidence, or else…”
Fujiwara’s face was gloomy. He sipped his tea and continued, “Riko Inoue has arrived in City Z today. She should be at Cloud Residence by now.”
“Riko Inoue? Is she the daughter-in-law that your father has always wanted?” Lan Xiu frowned and asked, “You haven’t resolved this matter yet, have you?”
“I know my current situation. If I hadn’t insisted before, with my father’s strength, I would have…”
