Chapter 143: The Father-in-Law's Entrustment, The Trial Begins

On Sunday, Aoyama Xiu Xin got up early.

As soon as he walked downstairs, he heard noises from the kitchen. Taking a peek inside, he saw his sister-in-law preparing breakfast, her hair tied back, leaving only the graceful curve of her back visible.

"Xiu Xin, you'll have to wait a bit longer, breakfast will be ready soon," Aoyama Haruko said with a turn of her head and a smile, despite a trace of swelling around her eyes. At least she could smile now, which meant she had recovered her spirits.

Aoyama Xiu Xin smiled and nodded, "Hmm."

After breakfast, he took his sister-in-law out for a day of shopping, buying her quite a few clothes and also picking up a bottle of red wine as a gift for his father-in-law.

In the evening, he left his sister-in-law alone at home.

He took the gift and went to visit the Asai family.
