Chapter 127 Shocking News
"Xiao Zhen?! This top-notch comic was drawn by Xiao Zhen?"
Shimizu Setsukatsuki was shocked by Shimizu Yuzuki's answer.
"The author of the manga 'The Burial of Frillie' is Shin-chan?!"
"Yuzuki, you're not joking with your aunt, are you?"
A look of shock appeared on Shimizu Satsuki's cold and mature face.
She reacted as if she had heard something utterly unbelievable.
Shimizu Setsukatsu took a few deep breaths, then picked up the coffee that was placed to the side and drank it all in one gulp.
The bitter taste of coffee told her that she wasn't hallucinating.
The top-notch manga, The Burial of Frilian, was drawn by Makoto Hoshino.
The orphan of her best friend Hoshino Kazuko, the handsome young boy she took into her home.
"Auntie, I wasn't lying to you just now. I told you that if you knew that Xiao Zhen drew this comic, you would be absolutely shocked."
Seeing her aunt Shimizu Yuzuki's shocked expression, Shimizu Yuzuki wore a satisfied look on her face.
Yes, that's exactly what my aunt looked like, with the same expression as me just now—the same shock and disbelief.
Looking at Shimizu Yuzuki's current state, it was as if she were seeing herself just a few minutes ago.
The reaction and shock shown after learning that the author of the manga "The Burial of Frillian" was Shin.
Shimizu Setsukatsu looked at the comics on her phone: "Besides cooking and giving massages, Shin can also draw, and he draws so well."
Huh? What massage? Xiao Zhen knows how to give massages? How did Auntie know that?
Upon hearing Shimizu Setsukatsuki's words, Shimizu Yuzuki's pretty face froze in satisfaction.
She knew that Shin was a good cook; she had tasted Shin's dinner when she went home last time.
But Xiao Zhen actually knows massage, and I didn't know that, so there's not much to say.
After all, I couldn't possibly ask Xiaozhen about massage without knowing she knew how.
But how did her aunt know that Xiaozhen knew how to give massages?
Before Shimizu Yuzuki could figure it out, Shimizu Setsukatsuki's voice came from the other side.
"No wonder you've had such a confident expression on your face ever since you came in, Yuzuki."
"And just now he was even in the mood to joke and tease me."
"You knew all along that the author of the manga 'The Burial of Frilian' was Xiao Zhen, and that Xiao Zhen would sign a contract with Star Moon Comics."
Shimizu Setsukatsu returned Shimizu Yuzuki's phone to Shimizu Yuzuki.
Slightly tired, but still beautiful, she wore a malicious smile.
"Yuzuki, this is indeed good news for me and Hoshizuki Comics."
"But you just deliberately teased and joked with your aunt. What punishment do you think you should receive?"
Shimizu Setsukatsu leaned back in her chair, arms crossed over her chest, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"No, Auntie, I really didn't mean it."
When Shimizu Yuzuki saw her aunt Shimizu Yukizuki in this state, she knew that the other woman was just joking around after relaxing.
Shimizu Yuzuki said directly without batting an eye, even though she did it on purpose.
"Auntie, although Xiaozhen will definitely sign a contract with Xingyue Comics."
"But you can't treat him unfairly when it comes to royalties and copyright revenue sharing."
Shimizu Yuzuki quickly skipped over the question of whether she had done it intentionally.
The conversation turned to the royalties and revenue sharing of the top-notch comic book series, "The Burial of Frilian."
"Yuzuki, do you think your aunt is that kind of person?"
Upon hearing Shimizu Yuzuki's words, Shimizu Setsukatsuki's slightly upturned lips immediately returned to their usual serious and earnest expression.
She leaned forward, her bulging chest almost touching the front edge of the desk.
"Whether it's from the fact that this comic was able to make Star Moon Comics famous, or from the fact that its author is Xiao Zhen."
"As the president of Xingyue Comics and as Xiaozhen's aunt, I will not mistreat Xiaozhen in this regard."
Shimizu Setsukatsuki's expression was very serious; she was telling Shimizu Yuzuki that she would never and could not mistreat Hoshino Makoto.
"I was just joking, Auntie."
Originally intending to change the subject and make a joke with Shimizu Setsukatsuki, Shimizu Yuzuki saw the serious expression on Shimizu Setsukatsuki's face.
She knew that her aunt was now truly serious and was no longer playing along.
Shimizu Yuzuki realized at that moment that what she had just said was really inappropriate.
Although she didn't witness everything her aunt, Shimizu Setsukatsu, did to Hoshino Makoto, she was aware of it all.
Upon learning that Xiaozhen was in the countryside, he put aside his company affairs and immediately took his driver to pick her up from the countryside and bring her to Tokyo.
Before that, he personally cleaned Xiaozhen's room and bought her clothes.
"Auntie, it's so late, I'll head home from get off work now."
Upon seeing Shimizu Setsukatsu become serious, Shimizu Yuzuki immediately wanted to slip away.
"Wait a minute, Yuzuki."
"Oh? Auntie, I really know I was wrong."
Just as Shimizu Yuzuki stood up, intending to slip away, she thought Shimizu Setsugeki wasn't going to let her go.
She immediately sat back down obediently.
"I know you're joking, but that's not what I wanted to talk about."
"Oh? Auntie, what else do you want to ask me?"
Upon hearing that she wasn't going to be criticized further, Shimizu Yuzuki immediately raised her head.
She blinked, looking at Shimizu Setsukatsu with a relaxed expression.
"When did Xiaozhen send you this comic?"
Qingshui Xueyue's cool and beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
"Just a few tens of minutes ago, around 11 o'clock."
Yuzuki Shimizu didn't notice the expression on Setsukatsu Shimizu's face.
She glanced at the time on her phone and said directly.
"It's past eleven o'clock, and Xiao Zhen is still not asleep."
"At such a young age, they've already started not taking care of their bodies."
Shimizu Yuzuki's expression froze upon hearing what Shimizu Yukizuki said.
She finally realized why her aunt, Shimizu Setsukyo, had asked her that question earlier.
Xiao Zhen, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it.
Shimizu Yuzuki felt apologetic for Hoshino Makoto in her heart.
"Do you know if Xiao Zhen is asleep right now, Yu Yue?"
Shimizu Setsukyo's mature and intellectual face was expressionless as she asked again.
"I'm going to sleep. Xiao Zhen told me he drew this comic and then messaged me saying he was going to sleep."
Under Shimizu Setsukatsuki's imposing gaze, Shimizu Yuukatsuki chose to confess and accept the leniency.
"Alright, I understand. You can go back now, Yuzuki."
"Okay, Auntie."
