Chapter 103 I Am Li Xia'S Biological Mother
"Kirigiri Shimizu, Li Xia's mother," Kirigiri Shimizu stood behind Mori Mari, her gaze cold and no one noticed when she had arrived here.
Mori Mari's eyes met hers, and an instinctual fear arose in her body, like a wild animal encountering a stronger, more dangerous creature.
This was followed by embarrassment turning into anger. She, Mori Mari, the head of the Mori Group, had always taken the initiative and never admitted to being scared by anyone.
She stood up from her seat, wearing high heels, almost the same height as Kirigiri Shimizu. The two locked eyes, and Mori Mari's gaze darkened: "So what?"
Kirigiri Shimizu said nothing, just coldly looked at her. Mori Mari felt a sense of oppression from the strange woman in front of her.
But she did not want to back down. Behind her sat Asakawa Aki, and besides her own dignity, she did not want to show weakness in front of the person she liked.
As the atmosphere between the two grew increasingly tense, Asakawa Aki suddenly stood up and addressed Kirigiri Shimizu, "Miss Shimizu, did Ryo ask you to find me?"
Her words momentarily broke the standoff between the two. Mori Mari let out a sigh of relief. This woman in front of her gave her a stronger sense of danger than anyone she had encountered before.
"About Li Xia," Kirigiri Shimizu took a step forward and sat directly in her seat, ignoring Mori Mari. "Let's talk."
"Hey, you're being too arrogant!" Mori Mari was furious. Her current mood was complex. When faced with someone stronger than herself, she didn't want to confront them, but being ignored by the other person made her feel humiliated.
"Mari, Miss Shimizu is my friend. She must have something urgent to discuss with me," Asakawa Aki quickly interjected to defuse the situation. "I'll make plans to meet you another time."
"Hmph." Mori Mari snorted coldly at Kirigiri Shimizu, then turned to Asakawa Aki. "Aki, call me when you get home."
She finished giving orders, and although she wouldn't admit it, Kirigiri Shimizu's pressure on her was immense. Everyone here was an adult and not too stubborn. Since there was no conflict of interest, they didn't want to stay here any longer.
Asakawa Aki watched Mori Mari's figure and glanced cautiously at Kirigiri Shimizu. In her memory, she couldn't recall Mori Mari ever suffering a loss.
Just one encounter made Mori Mari leave. This person, Kirigiri Shimizu, whom she had only met once, was obviously not simple.
Asakawa Aki watched Mori Mari leave, then cautiously sat back at the dining table, with her feet together and hands clasped, looking a bit timid.
Don't be fooled by her mature appearance and the way she acts like an elder in front of Li Xia. Deep down, she is very soft and easily relies on others.
That's why when Mori Mari helped her when she first came to Tokyo, she cherished her. Later, she discovered that Mori Mari had ulterior motives toward her, even to the point of trying to manipulate her.
Due to her indecisive nature, she had been unable to muster the courage to come out and be with Mori Mari, until Li Xia appeared and helped her sever their relationship.
Otherwise, who knows how long this mess would have lasted.
Just like Mori Mari's evaluation of her, she appears mature, but is actually passive in every aspect, able to pick things up but unable to let go.
"Don't be nervous," Kirigiri Shimizu had long investigated Asakawa Aki and understood this seductive beauty's character very well. She made an effort to soften her voice.
Of course, even so, her voice remained cold, at least making Asakawa Aki nervous.
Asakawa Aki's impression of Kirigiri Shimizu was that of a wealthy woman, someone with great power. She probably had a purely physical relationship with Li Xia, and it seemed quite significant. She even referred to herself as his mother.
"Miss Shimizu, is there something you need from me?" Asakawa Aki decided to take the initiative and speak up. She didn't want to be too restrained regarding Li Xia, but since she had come to her, she felt she had to display the authority of an elder, at least not letting herself be overshadowed by this woman.
"I'm going to tell you some secrets about Li Xia's background," Kirigiri Shimizu stared into Asakawa Aki's eyes. "Actually, I am his biological mother."
"..." Asakawa Aki's mouth twitched. Crazy people aren't scary. Worst case scenario, she can just call the police. But if it's a powerful and influential crazy person, it would be troublesome.
"This is a birth certificate." Kirigiri Shimizu didn't pay attention to Asakawa Aki's strange expression. All of this was part of her plan. She took out a stack of folders and handed them to Asakawa Aki. "You can verify their authenticity."
Asakawa Aki naturally didn't believe it, but still cooperated and took the documents. She flipped through a few pages and found that the information was complete, but it didn't prove anything. After all, when you have enough power, a fake identity can become real.
She closed the documents and looked at Kirigiri Shimizu. "But I don't think you're even 25. Li Xia is already 18 this year, the ages clearly don't match."
"Because this world is not what you see," Kirigiri Shimizu's voice was calm. "And I'm already forty, I just look younger."
Asakawa Aki looked at Kirigiri Shimizu with a mysterious and intriguing expression, with her white hair and eyebrows, she presented a rare and ethereal demeanor. However, she absolutely did not believe she was in her forties.
But Kirigiri Shimizu appeared honest and upright, seemingly not someone who would lie.
"Do you believe in extraordinary powers in this world?" Kirigiri Shimizu saw all of Asakawa Aki's expressions and began to implement her plan step by step.
"I believe more in science," Asakawa Aki had already figured it out. It turned out that the woman in front of her was suffering from "chuunibyou" (Eighth-Grade Syndrome). She was a teacher and had seen many "chuunibyou" patients. It was not uncommon in Tokyo, but it was not common to see people of this age still affected.
"Look into my eyes," Kirigiri Shimizu pointed to her right eye. After attracting Asakawa Aki's gaze, she placed two fingers on her eye.
She began to chant: "Reality be rent. Synapse break. Banishment, this world!"
Asakawa Aki was startled. She never expected that this ethereal woman would suddenly have a bout of "chuunibyou." Her first reaction was to quickly look around to see if there were any customers nearby.
This is so embarrassing, she wishes she could find a hole to crawl into.
But she didn't know that, at some point, there were no other customers except the two of them. Of course, she didn't know that, in order to cooperate with this plan, after Kirigiri Shimizu entered the restaurant, Komachi Kurenai had secretly asked the restaurant to quietly remove everyone else.
Asakawa Aki was recalling and sharing experiences with other teachers on how to deal with kids who have chuunibyou.
In the next second, Kirigiri Shimizu's right eye suddenly emitted a golden light.
"My eyes!" Asakawa Aki covered her eyes with both hands, only seeing a burst of golden light in front of her, followed by a vast whiteness. Her eyes were briefly blinded by the strong light.
Kirigiri Shimizu kindly handed her a pair of sunglasses. "Here you go."
"Thank... thank you," Asakawa Aki fumbled to receive the sunglasses. After putting them on, she felt a little better, and her eyes gradually recovered from the momentary blindness.
