"Secret meeting in an Italian restaurant? Chief Lawyer and Chief Prosecutor embraced and behaved intimately!"
"The Madonna of the Fiscal World and the Invincible Queen of the Legal World, the two collide and sparks fly!"
"Two poor women, both wanderers in the world, confide in each other and tell each other their troubles! "
"There's a reason why the Mori couple has a bad relationship!" "
Things are progressing much faster than expected.
In less than two days, all major newspapers, magazines, and online media outlets were filled with similar headlines.
Without exception, there was a photo of Eri Kisaki lying in Kujo Reiko's arms next to them.
This photograph has been processed, and at first glance, the two people look quite close.
Ordinary people love to gossip, especially about the private lives of celebrities. As soon as there is a scandal or a shocking story, they immediately flock to it like a husky smelling a toilet.
I've long disliked Maori Kogoro. He's so ugly! How can he have such a beautiful wife?
"That's right, what kind of person is Maori Kogoro? His wife treats him so well, but he still goes out looking for women all day long!"
"Actually, I've long noticed that something is wrong between Kisaki Eri and Kujo Reiko. Now I see that these two girls do have an affair!"
"What sisters? They are two old aunts."
"A mistress who destroys someone else's family should be cut into pieces!"
"Is there a possibility that the two of them are just best friends and sharing their troubles?"
"I support Eri Kisaki and Reiko Kujo in this matter. Japanese women hold up half the sky, so they should stand up! Who wants to rely on those stinky men?"
"This society is so cold and indifferent to women. How can women stand up?"
Online comments about the incident were mixed.
But just as Keisuke Kumiko had expected, most people, or keyboard warriors, sided with the two women.
First of all, before this incident, the media had already been making a big fuss about the "breakdown of relationship" between Kogoro Mori and his wife.
At that time, a large number of people sided with Eri Kisaki.
After all, it's hard to get support for what Kogoro Mouri did, which was simply flirting with other women in front of his wife.
Secondly, Japan attaches great importance to women's rights, and a large number of women have spoken out in support of them.
Reiko Kujo's blind date was previously reported by the media, but it didn't receive much response at that time.
But at this time, there was another person around her, Eri Kisaki, who had a similar experience.
There was only one woman, and that was just a stone thrown into a fish pond.
Two women are like a C4 bomb that can blow up all the fish in the pond.
You see, this sentence "Two good sisters support each other and fight against fate" sounds so nice!
Kumiko Law Firm.
"Japanese people really have nothing to do."
Ai was lying on the sofa as usual, her head resting on one arm, playing with her phone and complaining.
"They don't care about national affairs or people's livelihoods, and they just spend their days watching celebrity gossip."
Keisuke Kumiko glanced at her and said, "I see you look more idle than them."
"Children should play without worries, shouldn't they?" Ai rolled her eyes. "When you grow up and want to play, it will be too late. The end result will be nothing more than being exploited by a heartless boss like you."
What a heartless boss! I haven't paid you a cent.
Keisuke Kumiko said confidently.
"If you don't pay me, it's not considered an employment relationship. If you don't pay me, it's not an employment relationship. You are working voluntarily. You are not my employee according to the legal definition. Haven't you heard that saying? If you don't pay me, it's not considered prostitution!"
"You damn bastard (くそ), damn it."
It's rare for Ai to say a common Japanese swear word.
"Could you at least create a more reliable law? What is voluntary work? Even if you don't pay, it still constitutes an employment relationship!"
"Oh, you've figured it out. You have a future, Doraemon. Keep working hard."
"Get out of here!"
The two were bickering as usual.
At this moment, Keisuke Kumiko's phone rang.
"キミとの爱に恋をしてるだけで,伝えたくてもまだ..."
As always, Mai Kuraki's music.
Keisuke Kumiko opened it to answer.
Suddenly, Kujo Reiko's angry voice came from the other end.
"Kumiko, did you do this?"
"What are you talking about? What's the matter, Prosecutor Kujo?"
Keisuke Kumiko pretended to be innocent.
"Stop pretending. Wait, I'll go find you right now!"
The call ended with a click.
"Wait for your beating."
Ai's gloating voice came from the side.
Keisuke Kumiko raised an eyebrow, "Don't worry, she will understand me and believe me."
"What do you think? I only believe she's going to beat you up."
"Oh, you'd rather believe she'd hit me than believe I'm Oda Nobunaga."
"Hehe, I think you're a monkey following Nobunaga."
Ten minutes later, someone knocked on the office door.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
It's like smashing someone else's shop.
Before Keisuke Kumiko could open the door, it was kicked open.
A murderous face of Kujo Reiko appeared behind the door.
Without saying a word, Kujo Reiko took two steps at a time and lunged forward, grabbing Kumiko by the collar, leaning forward, and pressing him onto the desk.
"I'll give you three seconds to think about it." Kujo Reiko smiled ironically, "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation."
"Umm... could you please move away from me?"
Even when he was about to be defeated, Kumiko remained calm.
"She's already old, but she still uses such strong perfume. It almost makes me cry."
"You bastard!"
Kujo Reiko was angry and raised her right hand, as if to punch Kumiko in the face.
But she withdrew her fist in mid-air.
Kujo Reiko sighed, released Kumiko's collar, and the body pressing on him moved away from the table.
After a moment of silence, she spoke slowly.
"Do you know how much trouble this will bring to Kisaki Eri?"
"Have you forgotten what I told you before?" Keisuke Kumiko chuckled, "If you want to escape your own destiny, don't think too much about the destiny of others."
"Why can't you consider it?" Kujo Reiko said angrily, "Do you know what's going on outside between Kisaki Eri and me? We are being criticized for everything, our families and lives are constantly being attacked. Some people even deliberately misinterpret it, saying that I am a mistress who destroys other people's families."
"It's just a small group of people, right? There are always those who prefer to be independent, express their own opinions, and go against the grain."
Keisuke Kumiko said so.
"As long as the majority supports you, the outcome of this matter will be good."
Pause.
"I already told you, didn't I? If you want to be an independent woman, you have to endure this level of negativity. Nothing in this world is easy. If you want to reach high, alone and far, you have to take on everything and endure what ordinary people cannot endure."
