Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Considering all that, why not do it?

"Little Gu Yun, you're so mean!"

Tamaki Iijima covered her mouth and chuckled, "But I love the way you act mischievously."

Chapter 53 Iijima Group

Ayanokoji Atsuomi's visit was just a side event and did not affect the progress of the birthday party.

Gu Yun stopped thinking about what he would encounter next.

That has nothing to do with Gu Yun.

"Let's go, don't let a piece of trash spoil our fun."

The mother took Gu Yun's hand and led the two of them to the villa's hall.

Next, greeted by Nao Hayasaka, one distinguished guest after another was invited to congratulate Tamaki Iijima and Mei Yukinoshita.

Of course, I'm just saying that.

After all, the nominal head of the Yukinoshita family is Mr. Masashige, so he is mainly responsible for entertaining guests.

Mei and Tamaki Iijima were originally members of the wealthy ladies in the Tokyo metropolitan area.

My mother was supposed to stand with Mr. Masashige as the head of the Iijima family.

But this time, isn't Gu Yun here?

Since her son has a desire to perform and wants to step into the spotlight, how could a mother not support him?

Tonight, you are in charge of the Iijima family.

What should I do?

Tamaki Iijima joked, "I'm just a little woman who sides with the ladies."

So, the mother shamelessly pushed Gu Yun to Mr. Zhengmao's side and asked him to take good care of her.

"Gu Yun~~"

Jingke arrived with Hiratsuka Taro and his wife. The little girl spotted him immediately: "I heard you're going to adopt a girl from the Yukinoshita family as your stepsister. Where is that child? Isn't she cute?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka, who usually looks like a mud monkey, is now wearing a light blue kimono. People who don't know her might mistake her for a lady from a wealthy family.

Well, at least they did a good job of putting on a good show.

"Xiaojing, I can't play with you today."

Gu Yun gestured to Mr. Masashige beside him: "I'm sorry, I have to help Mr. Yukinoshita receive guests today."

"This, this is it."

Sure enough, there were many adults standing around Gu Yun, which made Hiratsuka Shizuka feel a little awkward, so she immediately said goodbye to him.

"Oh, is Xiao Gu Yun going to step forward today?"

No one knows the Iijima family's prodigy better than Hiratsuka Taro, who lives across the street. The rumors are not an exaggeration at all; this child truly is a genius.

Our family was able to successfully transition from the yakuza path entirely thanks to this child's advice and strategies.

Therefore, Hiratsuka Taro did not feel anything was wrong with Tanigumo's presence here; on the contrary, he was quite pleased.

Gu Yun's presence here indicates his willingness to inherit the Iijima family business.

Nothing could reassure Taro Hiratsuka, a partner of the Iijima family, more than this.

"You must be Mr. Yukinoshita?"

Mr. Hiratsuka introduced himself: "Nice to meet you, I am Taro Hiratsuka."

"Hello, Head of Hiratsuka."

Mr. Masashige is a well-known figure in the famous yakuza family of the Tokyo metropolitan area.

Of course, it's mostly a bad reputation here.

However, as a partner, Mr. Zhengmao felt very reassured.

After all, their own faction has an extreme background, and their deterrent power alone far surpasses that of others.

"Oh dear, I'm not late, am I?"

A young man in a dark green kimono walked over from the side. He had a gentle face, his hands tucked into his sleeves, and he looked at the outstanding Gu Yun with great interest: "This gentleman, could he be the young master Gu Yun that Madam Huan often talks about?"

Hello, may I ask who you are...?

"My name is Chitanda Haruki. My family has a few acres of meager land," Chitanda Haruki shook Gu Yun's small hand, showing no disrespect for him because of his age: "Your demeanor and cultivation are truly unbelievable, as you are not even 10 years old."

This is the truth. Gu Yun's spirit and energy, refined by spiritual power, give even those who are not skilled in cultivation a comfortable feeling, like being bathed in a spring breeze.

The aura emanating from a kind-hearted person's spiritual power makes people want to befriend them.

"Yeah~~"

Chitanda Haruki chuckled and said, "I really envy Madam Tamaki. If my child could be even a tenth as good as Young Master Gu Yun, I would be completely satisfied."

The Chitanda family continued and developed in the form of a clan. They controlled a large amount of land resources and were a wealthy farming family with a long history and profound heritage.

Mr. Haragi has a one-year-old daughter named Chitanda Eru.

To be honest, Mr. Haragi really admires Gu Yun.

Unfortunately, he did want to discuss a marriage alliance with Tamaki Iijima, but there were a bunch of competitors standing by.

Although the Chitanda family has a long history, in terms of potential, it is really not as good as the other families.

Difficult.

This is really difficult!

"You flatter me," Gu Yun said, unaware of Chitanda Haruki's thoughts. He bowed and said, "This is my first time dealing with family affairs. Everyone here is my elder, so please take good care of me."

"Where."

Taro Hiratsuka, Masashige Yukinoshita, and Itsuki Chitanda all said there was no need to be so polite.

They are staunch allies of the Iijima family.

During the previous economic crisis, everyone received considerable help from Tamaki Iijima.

They are grateful people, and they are willing to board the giant ship of the Iijima family and sail against the current together.

Now, facing the future leader of the Iijima family, they naturally have to observe him carefully.

Everyone had a very good first impression of Gu Yun and believed that he could lead the Iijima Group to further progress in the future.

"Ah, this must be young master Iijima?"

The man was wearing a suit and was in his thirties. He was a bit overweight, but what caught Gu Yun's attention the most were his eyebrows.

Those thick, semi-circular eyebrows, resembling pickled radishes, were somewhat funny and amusing.

"Mr. Kotobuki, I thought you weren't coming today."

Mr. Masashige happily brought the other person over. The man's name was Kotobuki Hiroaki, and he was Mr. Masashige's college classmate.

The two have a very close relationship; they were the kind of people who went crazy together when they were young.

"I've been in meetings so much lately, I almost couldn't make it."

Kotobuki Hiroaki laughed heartily. When he saw Gu Yun, his expression turned serious: "Could this be the prodigy of the Iijima family?"

"Please don't use that term anymore, 'Qilin' (麒麟儿)."

Gu Yun scratched his cheek awkwardly: "I'm just an ordinary person."

"Haha."

Kotobuki Hiroaki praised, "Young Master Iijima is too modest. Your ideas on market investment last time were truly eye-opening."

"Dad~~"

Just then, a little girl with brown wavy hair came running from a distance: "Don't walk so fast!"

"Oh, my apologies."

Kotobuki Hiroaki smiled apologetically at Tanigumo, then turned and hugged his daughter.

"Tsumugi, what are you doing here?"

While asking questions, Kotobuki Hiroaki introduced her to everyone: "This is my daughter, Kotobuki Tsumugi."

The girl is only 4 years old this year, about the same age as Xiaosheng.

"This name..."

Gu Yun paid no attention to the father and daughter's conversation; he was more focused on the girl's name: "It sounds familiar."

Looking at Kotobuki Tsumugi's eyebrows, it's not that they're completely unrelated, but rather that they have the exact same thick, radish-like eyebrows—definitely Kotobuki-sensei's biological daughter.

The Kotobuki family are partners of the Iijima family, mainly engaged in shopping malls, department stores, retail, and shop rentals.

Unbeknownst to many, Tamaki Iijima had become one of these top billionaires, and in fact, she had even surpassed them in status, showing a tendency to become a leader of the group.

"Is this the head of the Iijima family?"

"Just as excellent as the rumors say."

"That's ridiculous."

Gu Yun stepped forward and shook hands with the other person: "You are..."

"The Andagaki region has been pacified."

“So it’s President Adagaki,” Tanigumo said. “Nice to meet you. I am Tanigumo from Shimoijima.”

The Adagaki family, which Gu Yun had heard his mother and Hayasaka Nao mention, was a family with a high social standing.

Nao Hayasaka once ranked the status of Japan's wealthy class, from lowest to highest: noble families, prominent families, conglomerates, wealthy families, and zaibatsu.

The term "famous family" generally refers to owning a large company with sufficient social influence. For example, the large publishing house that Tamaki Iijima previously acquired is a sign of entering the ranks of famous families.

However, there are some special cases.

In Japan, a country in this world, there exists a special social class called the Kazoku (華族).
