My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

"Hello, Ms. Miwa, I am Sonoko's mother, Suzuki Shoko."

“I am Ichiro’s aunt, Takayanagi Mitsuka.”

After the two mature women introduced themselves to each other, they shook hands lightly and then parted ways.

Previously, when Takayanagi Ichiro recounted his struggle for power at home, he basically glossed over the matter of Takayanagi Mitsuka.

However, as the head of a large conglomerate, Suzuki knew that there must be some secret relationship between Takayanagi Ichiro and Takayanagi Mitsuka.

She had no intention of exposing it, because doing so would not benefit her at all.

Suzuki was also a little curious about how Takayanagi Mitsuka maintained her youthful appearance, since she looked like she was only in her early thirties.

The rest of the time was spent talking between Suzuki Tanoko and Takayanagi Mitsuka. Since both of them had children, the conversation naturally turned to their children.

Takayanagi Ichiro frowned slightly as he looked towards the door, because he could sense someone peeking in from outside.

However, since the other party showed no hostility, Ichiro Takayanagi did not pursue the matter.

Suzuki She wasn't there to look for templates or a loan. After learning about Takayanagi Ichiro's attitude towards her youngest daughter, she got up satisfied and prepared to leave.

Even if I develop feelings for Takayanagi Ichiro in the future, I need to think about it carefully and take it long-term.

If she displayed that infatuated woman's behavior on the first meeting, it would make Takayanagi Ichiro think she was somewhat immoral.

"Patriarch Gaoliu, my daughter will likely continue to come and nag you in the future, and I hope you can be understanding."

Referring to Takayanagi Ichiro simply as "President" would be disrespectful to him, as he is the head of the Takayanagi family.

Furthermore, I just learned from my conversation with Gao Liu Mihua that her youngest daughter will be coming home today. Let's have a good talk between the two of them tonight.

"Sonoko and Kaoru are very good friends, and Sonoko has given Kaoru a lot of help at school. I'm sure she'll receive a better welcome here."

Hearing this, Takayanagi Mitsuka couldn't help but laugh to herself.

Because Ichiro Takayanagi did indeed treat Suzuki's youngest daughter very well, after all, he had already taken her to bed.

Moreover, Suzuki's youngest daughter, having tasted the sweetness of success, recklessly challenged Takayanagi Ichiro, and in the end, it was her daughter who came to his rescue.

If one day I could put Suzuki Sherakawa and his daughter on the bed together, it would definitely be a different scene altogether.

Moreover, Suzuki Tateko doesn't only have one daughter; she also has another daughter who is already a university student, and she might be even more charming than her younger daughter.

Of course, he could only think these words in his heart and would not say them to Suzuki's face. Takayanagi Ichiro had already gotten up and escorted Suzuki to the door.

Suzuki Shed had a personal driver who brought her here, and now the driver is taking her back.

When Takayanagi Ichiro re-entered the room, a woman wearing a hat followed him in.

Takayanagi Mitsuka found it very strange; was Takayanagi Ichiro really that attractive to women?

Moreover, Suzuki Tate, who just left, was wearing a hat. Could this woman wearing a hat have some connection with Suzuki Tate? Could she be his eldest daughter?

"Hello, President Takayanagi. I am Sonoko's older sister, Ayako Suzuki. I'm here to ask you for a favor."

The woman in the hat revealed her identity; she really was Suzuki Shetsuko's daughter.

The mother had barely left when the daughter arrived; they truly are a family.

Chapter 219 Ayako Suzuki Wants to Escape Her Arranged Marriage

Ayako Suzuki was the one who had been secretly watching this side from outside, and Ichiro Takayanagi had sensed it.

However, at that time, they were receiving Ayako Suzuki's mother, so they didn't bring it up.

Only after her mother left did Ayako Suzuki emerge from the shadows.

When Ayako Suzuki's mother and Ichiro Takayanagi were talking before, they introduced themselves to each other and seemed to be testing the waters.

However, Ayako Suzuki now directly addresses Ichiro Takayanagi as President Takayanagi, which clearly indicates that she obtained some information from her sister.

"Miss Ayako, your mother has passed away."

Now you can take off your hat and pretend to be a normal customer.

After hearing what Takayanagi Ichiro said, Suzuki Ayako took off her hat.

She had a face almost identical to Suzuki Tōko's, but her demeanor was much more restrained than Suzuki Tōko's.

Suzuki Sheko has the aura of a strong woman. Even if she doesn't speak, it's hard for most people to get close to her because they feel inferior.

However, Ayako Suzuki is different. She doesn't have the aura of a strong woman; instead, she has the temperament of a student most of the time. She is a proper academic student.

To conceal her identity, Ayako Suzuki was dressed entirely in black.

However, her figure is similar to her mother's, with large in the right places and small in the right places, making her very well-proportioned.

Ayako Suzuki's appearance also caught the eye of Mitsuka Takayanagi. If Ayako Suzuki had improved her demeanor a bit before, she might have become just like her eldest daughter.

"This is my secretary, Takayanagi Mitsuka."

"Hello, Miss Mihua."

"Hello, Miss Ayako."

After exchanging greetings, Takayanagi Mitsuka got up to pour water for Suzuki Shoko, since Suzuki Shoko seemed to have something to discuss with Takayanagi Ichiro.

“Miss Ayako, you didn’t come here for your sister, did you?”

"Although Sonoko is just a high school girl, I believe she is capable of taking responsibility for her actions and we don't need to monitor her every move at all times."

If we go too far, he might harbor some resentment towards us.

So even if she really does date you, President Takayanagi, I won't interfere.

However, I also have a small request that I would like to make to President Takayanagi.

"After all, Sonoko is the second daughter of our Suzuki Group. I hope President Takayanagi will treat her well."

Ayako Suzuki's tone contained no threat whatsoever; it was simply the expectation of an older sister for her younger sister's romantic partner.

"I will absolutely not let Sonoko suffer any injustice while I'm with her, so you can rest assured about that."

Takayanagi Ichiro immediately made such a promise, hoping to gain the approval of Suzuki Sonoko's family.

Suzuki Ayako is a strong woman. She had a pleasant conversation with Takayanagi Ichiro before, but the two did not have a deep and meaningful exchange, so it would be a little difficult to gain Suzuki Ayako's approval.

However, Ayako Suzuki is different. Although she is the heiress of the Suzuki Group, she is currently just a college student who has not yet graduated, and it is the time when young people should be rebellious.

After hearing Takayanagi Ichiro's promise, Suzuki Ayako nodded, thinking to herself that her sister had excellent judgment.

Takayanagi Ichiro was a very handsome guy, much more handsome than any of her classmates she had ever met at school.

"I'm relieved to hear you say that, President Takayanagi. Now, let me tell you the second thing I came here for. I hope you can invest in me with a loan."

"What!?"

Before Ichiro Takayanagi could say anything, Mitsuka Takayanagi, who was sitting next to him, was stunned.

She never expected that the young lady of the prestigious Suzuki Group would have to come to Takayanagi Ichiro's house to apply for a loan.

Back in her hometown, Gao Liu Mihua hadn't studied the Gao Liu family in detail.

However, her conversation with Suzuki Tate just now made her realize that the Takayanagi family was a very prestigious family.

At the same time, the Suzuki Group is also a super conglomerate. As the eldest daughter of the Suzuki Group, she certainly doesn't lack money. Why would she come to Takayanagi Ichiro for a loan?

"I had a small argument with my family, so I wanted to use my abilities to achieve something to show them."

Suzuki then explained her minor dispute with the Suzuki Foundation, which was basically just the rebellious behavior typical of college students.

“Miss Ayako, given my relationship with Sonoko, if you need funds, I can certainly give you some, since your family can easily repay it.”

However, this concerns your entrepreneurial endeavors, so if you come here for a loan, I'm willing to lend you the money.

I won't ask for any interest; I just hope you can return the principal to me within the stipulated time.

Takayanagi Ichiro's attitude brought a smile to Suzuki Ayako's face.

If Takayanagi Ichiro really gave her some start-up funds for no reason, then Suzuki Ayako would definitely not accept them and would get up and leave.

Takayanagi Ichiro now sees her as a promising talent, partly because she is Sonoko's older sister, but he is more optimistic about her entrepreneurial endeavors.

"President Takayanagi, thank you."

Ayako Suzuki stood up somewhat excitedly and bowed to Ichiro Takayanagi to express her gratitude.

If she can succeed in starting her own business with Takayanagi Ichiro's help and impress her parents, there will be no need to force him to take over the management of the family business.

Ayako Suzuki had seen how hard Suzuki worked.

However, he believes that Suzuki Shed can hold on for a relatively long time, and if she succeeds in her business, she might be able to go independent.

At that time, the entire Suzuki Group can fall into the hands of my sister.

The reason for this urgency is that her father is already looking for a husband for her.

Her father mentioned it briefly during a meal earlier.

The third young master of the Tomizawa Group, with whom they have a good relationship, is a good candidate.

However, Ayako Suzuki immediately rejected that person in her mind.

That guy had a pretty good relationship with both of the Suzuki sisters, but it was more like a brother-sister relationship than anything else; it didn't go as far as marriage.

Moreover, the third young master of the Tomizawa Group seems to be a very weak person, and if she marries into the family, she definitely won't be able to outmaneuver his two older brothers.

She would likely suffer alongside the third young master of the conglomerate and be unable to fulfill her dreams, a situation that Ayako Suzuki would not allow to happen.

"Please sit here for a moment, and I'll go prepare the contract for you."

Chapter 220 Ayako: I'll use my body as collateral

In fact, it didn't take long at all before Takayanagi Ichiro arrived with the standard contract, and only minor modifications were needed to some aspects.

"Ichiro, if you choose to take out a loan, you should ask about the collateral first."

Just as Ichiro Takayanagi was about to hand the contract to Ayako Suzuki, Mitsuka Takayanagi suddenly spoke up.

Despite the fact that the other party was the heiress of the Suzuki Group, Takayanagi Mitsuka felt that some procedures still needed to be followed.
