Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

"Mother, aren't you afraid that Aunt Yukinoshita will overthrow you?"

Gu Yun joked, "You know, subservience is a traditional skill in this country."

"Isn't this country's tradition to kneel in reverence?"

"..."

For a moment, Gu Yun didn't know how to refute Iijima Tamaki's statement: "No one says that there can only be one traditional art, right?"

"I see!"

Tamaki Iijima suddenly realized, and then laughed, "If Mei really could overthrow her superior, I would be quite happy."

“Ever since our student days, I’ve always hoped that she could stand on her own, but she’s always been so dependent on me.”

With a mix of pride and helplessness, Tamaki Iijima said, "I know that child has always regarded me as a goal and wanted to surpass me."

Mei is an only child. Her father is a diplomat and her mother is of Chinese descent with a long history of education. Her family has a strict upbringing.

This gave Yukinoshita Mei an extraordinary temperament, but it also robbed her of her entire childhood.

"But that's impossible!"

Changing the subject abruptly, Tamaki Iijima arrogantly declared, "Mei, you're a hundred years too early to surpass me!"

Your older sister will always be your older sister.

Putting aside the fact that Yukinoshita Mei has no chance of surpassing Iijima Tamaki, even if she did, it wouldn't have anything to do with betrayal.

Right now, Tamaki Iijima is the one taking care of her; from now on, she'll be the one taking care of Tamaki Iijima.

The relationship between the two sides will only get better and better; how could there be any cracks?

Moreover, what do you think is the purpose of adopting Yang Nai as your goddaughter this time?

"hostage?"

"Cough cough cough."

Iijima Tamaki glared at Gu Yun: "What nonsense are you talking about? This is establishing a relationship! Establishing a relationship!"

There is no other choice but Gu Yun as the heir of the Iijima family.

Similarly, the heir to the Yukinoshita family will be designated as Haruno after this banquet.

Even if Yang Nai were to get married in the future, she would have her husband marry into the family, not marry out herself.

In this way, the next generation of the two families grew up together from childhood, with the older brother and younger sister taking care of each other, thus forming an emotional bond that transcends self-interest.

"So, you brat, you can't bully Yang Nai, okay?"

Tamaki Iijima said, "Even if there is a brother-sister relationship, if the sister dislikes the brother, then the future is uncertain."

Only Gu Yun treated Yang Nai like a younger sister, protecting and caring for her.

Only then will Gu Yun be able to gain a younger sister who trusts and admires him in the future.

"This is so troublesome..."

Gu Yun scratched his head, explaining why he didn't want to inherit the Iijima family business—it was just too exhausting: "Isn't there a better way to form an alliance than by recognizing relatives?"

"Hooh?"

Tamaki Iijima looked at him teasingly: "Didn't I say last time that if you want to marry Haruno, Mei and Masashige will just pack that girl up and send her over?"

This is not a joke.

Mei has mentioned to Tamaki Iijima more than once that she wants to form a marriage alliance with the Iijima family.

But this Iijima family is not the same as the Iijima family of Tamaki Iijima.

Even now, let alone the future, Mother knows very well who is in charge of the Iijima family.

"Please spare me."

Gu Yun didn't mind having a child bride, but Yang Nai was only 2 years old, which was really too young.

"Phew~ We've finally arrived."

Before you is a detached villa with a building area of ​​over 1400 square meters. With its courtyard, swimming pool, and garden, it exudes luxury under the lights at night.

"here it is…"

Miyako once again experienced the power of money, but with her limited knowledge, she simply couldn't assess the strength of the Yukinoshita family.

"Is this... the Yukinoshita family?"

"Um…"

Nao Hayasaka glanced at Miyako and whispered, "No, this is Madam's villa."

"Hey?"

"Hey?"

Not only Miyako's family, but even Gu Yun looked bewildered.

"Young Master, what are you doing?" Hayasaka Nao said speechlessly, "Don't you know how much real estate our family owns?"

I have absolutely no idea!!

Gu Yun really didn't know much about how much money the Iijima family had.

"No, no," Gu Yun asked, "Why is Yang Nai's birthday party being held at our house?"

"Gu Yun, are you alright?"

Tamaki Iijima looked around, thankfully there were no outsiders nearby: "Didn't I say that the Yukinoshita family is involved in politics?"

"Isn't there another construction company?"

“Because of the economic crisis, Yukinoshita’s company was on the verge of bankruptcy,” Tamaki Iijima said. “Although Mr. Yukinoshita is still the president, I am actually the chairman of the company.”

"Mom, you..."

"Mother, Mother, call me Mother!"

"Hi, Your Majesty!"

Gu Yun was filled with awe, secretly thinking that her mother was becoming increasingly reckless and arbitrary in the business world.

"Today's banquet is not just about Xuexia, it's also about me."

The fact that Tamaki Iijima was going to become Haruno's adoptive mother was itself a signal from the Yukinoshita family. They wanted to use this to tell other powerful figures and influences that Yukinoshita was being kept by the Iijima family.

From now on, whenever the Yukinoshita family has any financial problems, Tamaki Iijima will help them solve them.

For example, this villa was a birthday gift from Tamaki Iijima to Haruno, whom she had adopted as her goddaughter.

Yes, starting tomorrow, the name on the villa's property certificate will be changed to Yukino Yukinoshita.

I'm suddenly so envious!

Gu Yun even began to doubt whether he was Iijima Tamaki's biological son, wondering why she never gave him a villa.

"Young Master, do you know how many properties you own?"

Nao Hayasaka seemed to see the doubt in Gu Yun's heart, and then sighed deeply.

Gu Yun is still young and has no interest in the family business.

Therefore, he had no idea how much money Iijima Tamaki had made over the years, or how much real estate she had acquired during the economic crisis and the subsequent housing price crash.

"So, it turns out our family is rich enough to give away villas as gifts."

"."

Tamaki Iijima and Nao Hayasaka stared at Tanigumo for a long time with a speechless expression that said, "You just found out?"

Isn't giving away a villa a basic practice?

A truly great gift would be something like company shares, or the kind of huge concession of profits.

In comparison, a mere villa costs only a few billion to tens of billions of yen.

Tamaki Iijima felt embarrassed; giving such a small amount of money as a gift would be too disgraceful for the Iijima family!

"It was my fault."

Gu Yun always thought that Iijima Tamaki was very rich.

Even before receiving the blessing of the Zashiki-warashi, Tamaki Iijima was probably a very wealthy woman.

It was only at this moment that Gu Yun realized this.

This isn't just a rich woman, this is an ultra-rich woman!

Thinking back on the past month, Iijima Tamaki had received the blessings of the Zashiki-warashi, as well as the grace of the Void.

Combined, the size of the Iijima family increased several times over in just one month.

terror!

It's really scary!

No wonder his mother has been in a good mood lately, telling him many times that the Iijima family has finally taken a bite out of the old Japanese power group.

Bow down to the rich woman!

Gu Yun hugged Iijima Tamaki's leg, even burying his face in his mother's lower abdomen.

"Oh, what's wrong?"

Tamaki Iijima chuckled and patted Gu Yun's head: "Really, suddenly acting all cute and clingy to your mother, Gu Yun is still such a child."

"I was just," Gu Yun said honestly, "awestruck by the sheer wealth of my own family."

"Aha?"

Tamaki Iijima's smile froze: "This child, is his surname really Iijima?"

The mother was quite happy that her child was affectionate and acted spoiled towards her.

For some reason, Tamaki Iijima inexplicably thought of Iijima Kosuke, her father: 'It's all that guy's fault! If it weren't for him, how could my little Taniguchi be so poor!'

'Who would say something like, "I'm scared by my family's wealth"?'

It's all his fault!
