My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

"I believe in Brother Gao Liu."

At this moment, Suzuka Oki made her statement and then turned to look at her mother, Haruka Oki.

"Mom, it's not just me who has changed a lot, you yourself have changed a lot too."

Even if you used to go to a beauty salon for treatments, your mental state afterward is completely incomparable to what it is now.

This proves that Brother Gao Liu was right; doing those things with him can indeed provide us with some help.

After hearing her daughter's words, Haruka Oki subconsciously reached out and touched her face, finding that it was indeed more bouncy and smooth than ever before.

This feeling was something I never experienced, not even when I was a little girl.

"Mr. Takayanagi, do you really have this ability?"

At this moment, Haruka Oki was a little anxious because she was about to turn forty.

Both physical and mental health are starting to decline.

I used to think that my fighting prowess was due to a lack of nourishment over a long period of time.

Now it seems very likely that it was still because of Ichiro Takayanagi.

"Mom, if you don't believe me, then let's continue doing it with Brother Gao Liu."

Chapter 367 You want a man too?

After hearing Haruka Oki's suspicions, before Ichiro Takayanagi could respond...

Suzuka Oki reached out from Ichiro Takayanagi's arms and took her mother's hand, then offered this suggestion.

This made Haruka Oki blush instantly; she hadn't expected her daughter to say such a thing.

"Mom, just like you advised me before."

You don't need to care about my gaze, because now we are both Brother Gao Liu's women.

The main reason is that I know I'll definitely be competing if I'm alone, but it's against Aunt Manami and the others.

Although it seems that only Aunt Manami is Takayanagi's woman right now, I believe that Kokoro and Kotoha will also be Takayanagi's women in the future.

At that time, there were three of them in her family and I was just one person. How could I possibly be a match for them?

Also, there must be other women around Takayanagi-san. If we can join forces with Aunt Manami and the others...

We have a larger number of people on our side, which might give us an advantage.

Haruka Oki nodded at her daughter's advice, but then shook her head.

“Rinka, we are all Mr. Takayanagi’s women, so there is no need for us to compete for his favor.”

Unlike her daughter, Haruka Oki is a mature woman with a deeper understanding of certain events.

If the mother and daughter were to join forces with others to compete for the emperor's favor, their fate would certainly be dire.

This would not only anger another group of people around Takayanagi Ichiro, but also Takayanagi Ichiro himself.

Therefore, Haruka Ōki's tone was rather serious, something Suzuka Ōki had never seen before, not even when arguing with her father.

When I turned my gaze back to Takayanagi Ichiro's face, I was sure to find that he looked very serious.

This made Suzuka Ooki feel uneasy. Could it be that she had unintentionally offended Ichiro Takayanagi's anti-aging?

"Brother Gaoliu..."

"Rinka, you want your mother to relax? Pshaw, there's no problem with wanting to team up with Manami and the others."

But like your mother said, you shouldn't have any thoughts of competing for favor, because I won't let you down.

"Brother Gao Liu, I know I was wrong. I will never try to win his favor again."

"Let me have my mom keep you company, then you can calm down."

Although Ichiro Takayanagi's expression was rather serious, his words weren't particularly harsh, which relieved Suzuka Oki.

And at this moment, she brought out her mother, hoping that Takayanagi Ichiro would taste her mother and stop being angry with her.

At this moment, Haruka Oki rolled her eyes at her daughter. If her body could still take it, she would definitely take it from Ichiro Takayanagi.

“Your mother has already endured a lot today, it’s time for her to rest.”

Takayanagi Ichiro refused on her behalf, which made Oki Haruka feel very relieved. She knew she hadn't made the wrong choice in this man.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't know that."

Suzuka Ooki sincerely apologized to her mother, and then began to take off her clothes.

"Since Mom can't do it right now, let me do it."

Haruka Oki was startled. Just now, Ichiro Takayanagi had told her not to compete for favor, and what Suzuka Oki was doing now was almost the same as competing for favor.

Fortunately, Ichiro Takayanagi wasn't angry, but he still reached out to stop Suzuka Oki.

"Even if you want to play, there is a certain amount of time in the evening."

You're all pretty much out of energy now. We just ordered takeout, it should be here soon.

It wasn't that Ichiro Takayanagi didn't want to play, but he was worried about their health, which moved Haruka Oki and Suzuka Oki even more.

Ding dong.

Just then, the doorbell rang, and Haruka Oki immediately got up from her seat.

"The delivery should have arrived. I'll go get it."

Haruka Oki was simply too physically strong to handle the strain. After all, she was a mature woman, and her recovery was quite good. She had no problem picking up takeout at the door.

Soon, Haruka Oki returned carrying a large bag of takeout, while Ichiro Takayanagi carried Suzuka Oki towards the restaurant.

................

Sisters' Restaurant.

This restaurant was founded by two women, Saionji Odori and Kiyoura Mai. They work as managers here, so they have a lot of free time.

Their daughter sometimes works part-time as a waitress after school, and sometimes she doesn't come to help, so it doesn't have a big impact on the shop.

"It seems like Manami has a boyfriend."

The three of them broke up around the same time, so this is the start of a new life.

Katsura Manami is fighting alone, while Saionji Odori and Kiyoura Mai have teamed up.

When they were working together, both sides had an agreement.

If someone is struggling to make ends meet, they can take on a management role under the other person's name, or they can start a business together.

Some time ago, Saionji Odori and Kiyoura Mai learned that Katsura Manami was having some difficulties, but they did not offer any help.

Instead, they planned to let Katsura Manami bear the burden alone for a while, and then offer assistance when Katsura Manami could no longer cope.

Now that Katsura Manami is renovating her shop, none of them went to watch the excitement; instead, they waited for the final result.

When they reopened, they heard about the incident where the young master of the Amamiya family provoked someone and was taught a lesson, but there were no further consequences.

Furthermore, Katsura Manami has already started hiring part-time staff, indicating that her shop is becoming increasingly promising.

If it were just Katsura Manami's effort, she would have started taking action long ago, and it definitely wouldn't have been delayed until now.

Therefore, it can only be said that there is a man behind Katsura Manami, who has provided her with great help.

"Then we can go to their shop and take a look during our break."

As Kiyoura Mai was saying this, you looked in the direction of Katsura Manami's shop, and then received a glare from Saionji Odori.

"I think you just want to see who her new man is. Haven't you been hurt enough before? Now you have this kind of idea again."

Despite being looked down upon, Kiyoura Mai wasn't angry. Instead, she looked around and saw that no one else was around.

"Forget it, just stop talking about me."

You yourself want a man, so how could you possibly deceive my man?

Chapter 368 Two pairs of mothers and daughters living in harmony

Saionji Odori and Kiyoura Mai started their business together, so their two families lived together.

Even though the two families live together, there are only four people in total. The two mothers sleep in one room, while the two daughters sleep in separate rooms.

Therefore, Kiyoura Mai, who shares the same room with Saionji Odori, must be very clear about what Saionji Odori needs.

We're all adults, and we all have daughters in high school, so there's absolutely no need to be ashamed of this kind of thing.

"It's true that I want a man, but I won't give myself away easily, and I don't intend to have a serious relationship."

The most important thing is our shop; at most, it can only maintain our current revenue situation.

It's unlikely I'll take it any further; I'm mostly focused on making the shop even better.

Saionji Oyoko admitted that she wanted a man, but her priority was to get the shop up and running, since it affected the income of both of their families.

"Of course I think the same way you do. If you really can't stand it, I can lend you some tools."

After hearing what Kiyoura Mai said, Saionji Odori rolled her eyes at Kiyoura Mai.

She didn't care about props or anything like that.

"I'm warning you, don't buy any weird or strange things for the home."

If our daughter finds out, what kind of explanation will you give?

The two of them started a business together, and they treated each other's daughters as their own, so they treated each other's education equally.

"It's no big deal. If they find out, we'll educate them beforehand about more correct sexual attitudes."

This is something we should have done in the first place, and we should have introduced it earlier, but at that time our focus was on opening the store.

Now that we have some free time, we really should explain this kind of education clearly.

Otherwise, if we encounter some jerks in high school, there's not much we can do.
