My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

But if your relationship takes a turn for the better, protecting this company and your nephew will be a piece of cake.

"I understand, I'll think about it carefully."

After finishing her speech, Amamiya Etsuko left the house.

She initially came to persuade Yosuke Amamiya not to get angry and fight Ichiro Takayanagi head-on, but she never expected it to turn into a matchmaking scene.

Having investigated people like Takayanagi Ichiro himself, and finding him to be unfathomable, it certainly piqued his curiosity.

If something could happen between me and a man like that, it would definitely have a positive impact on me.

However, there is one thing I must always keep in mind, which is the sincerity that Yosuke Amamiya just mentioned.

After Amamiya Etsuko left his house, Amamiya Yosuke leaned back on the sofa and sighed softly.

Now that she has lost one of her sons, she has finally come to her senses. It is not too late to start raising a new son, and it has also stabilized Amamiya Etsuko's heart.

Hopefully, everything will turn out well.

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

Today, Sonoko Suzuki visited Ichiro Takayanagi's house once again.

Sonoko Suzuki is, after all, the second daughter of the Suzuki Group. Even though she is now Ichiro Takayanagi's girlfriend, she still has to follow the family's routine.

However, when Sonoko Suzuki learned from Kaoru Takayanagi what Ran Mouri had done, she immediately became unhappy and gave her best friend a disapproving look.

"Xiaolan, when I had this idea before, you said I was being unreasonable. Why are you ahead of me now?"

Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri are good friends, so Sonoko wanted to ask Ichiro Takayanagi to help her mother make some changes to her mental state. She didn't hide anything from her good friend Ran Mouri.

However, Ran Mouri did not approve of her plan, thinking that she was messing around and that it was not proper for a daughter to arrange such things for her mother.

After being rejected by her good friend Ran Mouri, Sonoko Suzuki's actions became somewhat sluggish.

However, after experiencing her sister's transformation, Sonoko Suzuki accelerated this process and has already made good progress.

Unexpectedly, after only a few days, Ran Mouri had passed away ahead of her, and this had caused a significant change in Ran Mouri's mother.

Although she didn't witness Ran Mouri's mother's transformation firsthand, Sonoko Suzuki believes that Ran is definitely not the type to lie.

That's why Sonoko Suzuki felt that her good friend Ran Mouri was being a bit immoral at this point. Could it be that she deliberately did these things before her?

"Sonoko, I didn't mean to do anything in front of you."

Rather, it was because I saw how hard my mother had been working lately, and her low spirits broke my heart, that I made this request to Brother Ichiro.

At this moment, Ran Mouri immediately humbled herself and explained that she did this entirely for her mother's sake, and not to compete with Sonoko Suzuki.

"Sister Sonoko, actually, Sister Ran also had some difficulties when she made this decision."

In the end, it was my instigation that led to that outcome. If you really want to blame someone, blame me.

Kaoru Takayanagi also spoke up to take responsibility at this time, hoping that the friendship between Sonoko Suzuki and Ran Mouri would not be damaged.

“Xiao Xun, Xiao Lan and I have been friends for so many years, of course I know what kind of personality she has, and she definitely doesn’t need you to push things along.”

At this moment, Sonoko Suzuki rolled her eyes at Kaoru Takayanagi. These two were together every day, and their relationship was indeed much closer than that with her.

"I also bear some responsibility for this, I..."

Of course, Ichiro Takayanagi wouldn't let the responsibility fall on the shoulders of the two high school girls, so he immediately offered to take the blame, but was stopped by Sonoko Suzuki.

Because Sonoko Suzuki let go of Kaoru Takayanagi's hand, and then jumped up and hung on Ichiro Takayanagi.

“Brother Ichiro, I don’t mean to blame you. On the contrary, I’m quite happy.”

Sonoko Suzuki's words to Ichiro Takayanagi puzzled both Kaoru Takayanagi and Ran Mouri.

Previously, when she learned that Ran Mouri was ahead of her, Kaoru Takayanagi's expression was indeed not good. How come she has changed her tune now?

"My mother persuaded her for a long time, and she decided to give it a try."

However, they didn't say they would conduct the experiment immediately; they just hoped everyone would meet first.

Now that Xiaolan's mother has changed, I have a much stronger argument on my part.

There was actually another layer; this was something Kaoru Takayanagi and Ran Mouri hadn't expected.

However, this is understandable, since Sonoko Suzuki's mother is the actual head of the Suzuki Group, so it's understandable that she would be hard to persuade.

"Sister Xiaolan, I think Sister Yuanzi is really infuriating. The way she looked at us just now made it seem like we had let her down. Should we go over and teach her a lesson?"

At this moment, Takayanagi Ichiro chuckled. As long as the relationship between the three high school girls remained intact, everything would be fine.

He even encouraged Ran Mouri to attack Sonoko Suzuki, but he was immediately met with a cold shoulder from Ran.

“Now your sister Sonoko has found the most reliable backer in your older brother. Even if the two of us join forces, we can’t defeat her.”

Ran Mouri certainly wouldn't go after Sonoko Suzuki, but she readily echoed Kaoru Takayanagi's comment.

"That's right, now Brother Ichiro is my backer, so don't try to take anything from me tonight."

Sonoko Suzuki continued to cling to Ichiro Takayanagi, turned her head, and proudly showed off to Kaoru Takayanagi and Ran Mouri.

Chapter 401 Carry Me Upstairs

Sonoko Suzuki did not come to Ichiro Takayanagi's house this weekend.

Ichiro Takayanagi did not stay at the agency, but went to stay with Ran Mouri's mother.

So Ran Mouri must have enjoyed herself, and now that she's here at this agency, she definitely needs to have some time to herself with Ichiro Takayanagi.

"Sister Sonoko, we won't take anything from you."

At this moment, Kaoru Takayanagi made her stance clear, showing that she didn't care about the gains or losses of this one night at all.

After all, Sonoko Suzuki is the second daughter of the Suzuki Group, and she can't possibly stay at Ichiro Takayanagi's office every day.

It's perfectly fine to let Sonoko Suzuki enjoy it all by herself if she comes here occasionally.

"I feel the same way, and neither Xiaoxun nor I will come to save you."

Like Kaoru Takayanagi, Sonoko Suzuki is one of the weaker fighters. She used to need Ran Mouri and Kaoru Takayanagi to rescue her when she had Takayanagi Ichiro all to herself.

They especially need Ran Mouri's help, since Ran Mouri's fighting power is stronger than Sonoko Suzuki and Kaoru Takayanagi combined.

"I don't need your rescue. I'll just ask Sister Mihua for help when the time comes."

In this house, the people you can turn to for help aren't just Sonoko Suzuki and Kaoru Takayanagi, but also Mitsuka Takayanagi, who is cooking upstairs.

At this moment, Ichiro Takayanagi, carrying Sonoko Suzuki, found a place to sit down, and Kaoru Takayanagi and Ran Mouri followed.

"Sonoko, what kind of arrangement is it that you just mentioned having dinner with your mother?"

Hearing that Ichiro Takayanagi was actually concerned about such matters touched Sonoko Suzuki a little.

After all, these were her words just now, and it was clear that Takayanagi Ichiro had taken them to heart.

"It's somewhat related to my sister. My parents were helping her find some conglomerates for marriage alliances, so I did have an impression of one of them."

However, my sister didn't want an arranged marriage; she wanted to find love on her own, which caused some conflict with her family.

Now that my sister has received financial support from Brother Ichiro, she can do what she likes, so let's proceed with the marriage.

However, both sides still need to sit down for a meal and have a proper talk.

My mom and sister are both going, so I don't plan to go.

But I suggested that my older brother, Ichiro, accompany my sister, and my mother agreed.

Faced with Ichiro Takayanagi's questions, Sonoko Suzuki didn't hide anything and told him about her family's situation.

From these words, it's clear that Sonoko Suzuki and her older sister have a very good relationship.

Moreover, he took advantage of the opportunity when his sister and other conglomerates cleared up the misunderstanding to promote Takayanagi Ichiro, and even gained her mother's approval.

"Sister Sonoko, your conglomerate must be unrivaled in Japan in this regard, right?"

Although there was a previous inclination towards a marriage alliance, since your sister doesn't like it, you can just refuse directly.

Why bother sitting down and talking? Do you think they can turn around and suppress you?

Kaoru Takayanagi found it very strange; the reaction from the foundation that Sonoko Suzuki belonged to was not in line with the rumors.

"If it were any other conglomerate, we would simply refuse, but they have been our business partners for many years."

Furthermore, we had a good relationship with their children when they were young, so it's best for everyone to part ways amicably.

In response to Kaoru Takayanagi's question, Sonoko Suzuki provided a detailed explanation.

"So where are they planning to eat? Can we follow them and see?"

Kaoru Takayanagi asked the question with a smile, and then Ran Mouri pulled her aside.

Kaoru Takayanagi was somewhat curious about the Suzuki Group, as she had never met Sonoko Suzuki's mother and sister at the agency.

Previously, when the Suzuki Group went to visit clients, they were merely going as guests, so they didn't learn much.

Furthermore, Sonoko Suzuki's mother and older sister will also be joining their little group in the future, so it's understandable that they want to find out who the other person is beforehand.

However, Kaoru Takayanagi was pulled by Ran Mouri, who told her not to ask such questions.

"They went to a newly built amusement park in Tokyo Bay, and they needed an invitation from the owner to go in and visit it."

If you'd like to go, I can ask my mom to get an extra invitation.

When they go to discuss business, we can go check out the amusement park.

Xiaolan definitely didn't have a good time at the amusement park last time, but this time she can make up for it.

Sonoko Suzuki didn't think there was anything wrong with Kaoru Takayanagi asking that question, and she actually made arrangements.

They also brought Ran Mouri along because Ran didn't have a good time at Dorothy Land last time.

"Forget it, since it's not open yet, there's probably nothing fun about it."

Even if we want to go, we'll wait until it opens.

Kaoru Takayanagi was a girl who knew how to be persuaded, and she didn't insist on participating in their conversation anymore.

Anyway, Sonoko Suzuki's mother and older sister will eventually join this little group, so we can get to know them gradually later.

"As I just said, I won't participate in the past discussions. Instead, I'll play with you guys, so don't worry. I'll be taking over Ichiro-nii at that time."
