My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

If it weren't for today's request, she and Suzuka Oki wouldn't have come to Ichiro Takayanagi's office.

They wouldn't receive such useful advice, nor would they feel their importance to Ichiro Takayanagi.

Suzuka Ooki actually wanted to prevent this from happening. If Sekai Saionji got Takayanagi Ichiro's contact information, he would definitely contact him alone, and then they would have fewer opportunities to contact him.

However, she didn't say these words directly, but waited until later to explain them to Katsura Kotonoha.

"Sure, but you need to make it clear to him that he can only contact me when there's something urgent."

If she contacts me for no reason, I'll most likely block her.

Ichiro Takayanagi did not recommend that Saionji Sekai know his contact information, but he did make his own request to Kotonoha Katsura.

"Of course I'll help remind them about this, and I trust that Saionji-kun won't do anything reckless."

Just then, the aroma of food wafted from upstairs. Katsura Kotonoha and Ooki Suzuka exchanged a glance and got up to leave.

"You don't need to be in such a hurry, you can stay for a simple meal."

Faced with Ichiro Takayanagi's attempt to persuade them to stay, Kotonoha Katsura and Suzuka Oki were momentarily tempted, but ultimately shook their heads.

"Brother Gao Liu, after we received a valid response here, we plan to send it back."

Let's visit again when we have more time, so as not to frighten your family.

After finishing her sentence, Suzuka Ooki left Ichiro Takayanagi's office with Kotonoha Katsura.

Ichiro Takayanagi did not forcibly interfere with the choice between the two newborn girls.

Knowing that no customers would be coming up now, he went straight upstairs.

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

"Kotoha, why did you get Takayanagi-nii to agree to hand over the phone number?"

On their way back, Katsura Kotonoha and Ooki Suzuka were not in a hurry.

Anyway, the good news was right on them and wouldn't leave, so the two of them slowly walked back to the fried chicken shop.

According to Suzuka Ōki, once Saionji Sekai obtains Ichiro Takayanagi's contact information, she will no longer communicate with him through the two of them.

If Saionji Sekai wanted to compete for favor, they had no way to stop her.

"Rinka, I know you want to stop me, but actually you just want to take over Takayanagi-nii's place a little longer."

Katsura Kotonoha is just bad at socializing, not stupid.

When communicating or competing with people you know well, you won't be at a disadvantage at all.

After Katsura Kotonoha pointed out what she was thinking, Ooki Suzuka blushed a little.

However, she didn't offer much explanation, because there was no need.

"I don't know what that feels like, so I don't quite understand how you feel."

However, if we have any thoughts or actions that want to compete for his favor, we will definitely offend Brother Gao Liu, and then our impression in Brother Gao Liu's mind will be greatly diminished.

If we choose to relinquish control and allow others to compete with us, it means we don't intend to monopolize the market, and we'll definitely gain Brother Gao Liu's favor.

After hearing Katsura Kotonoha's explanation, Ooki Suzuka was completely convinced and had even greater respect for Katsura Kotonoha.

The two mothers at the fried chicken shop had previously said they would hand over the management of the fried chicken shop to Suzuka Ooki in the future, so Suzuka Ooki felt a little smug.

After this experience, Suzuka Ooki realized that Kotonoha Katsura's abilities were in no way inferior to hers; she was just not well-suited for managing a fried chicken shop.

"So you did the right thing this time, and I should thank you."

Let's go back to the fried chicken shop with the suggestion Brother Gao Liu gave us earlier. Mom and the others will definitely be even more satisfied after hearing it."

"Okay."

Katsura Kotonoha and Ooki Suzuka went to the fried chicken restaurant together, while the elementary school student Katsura Shin at home wasn't lonely at all.

Because there are lots of snacks at home, and we can also watch TV.

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

"Big brother, didn't Katsura Kotonoha come with his sister before?"

Why is it a different person this time? She looks like a hot babe.

During the meal, Kaoru Takayanagi also asked this question.

Of course she knew Katsura Kotonoha, and Katsura Kotonoha had even eaten the delicious dipping sauce produced from her body.

However, Katsura Kotonoha had always come with her younger sister, who was an elementary school student and even more mischievous.

"The person who came with her today is called Suzuka Ooki. She ran away from home before and worked part-time at their fried chicken shop."

Now, the two families have practically merged into one, which is why they came here together.

"Brother Ichiro, what do you mean by merging two families into one family?"

It wasn't Kaoru Takayanagi who asked this question, but Ran Mouri who brought it up.

After all, her family and Takayanagi Ichiro's family could be considered as two families merging into one.

If Ran's mother were to join the family after she retires, then it would truly be a case of two families merging into one.

"The thing is like this..."

When asked by Ran Mouri, Ichiro Takayanagi did not hide anything and briefly explained the situation of Suzuka Oki's family.

The last time Takayanagi Ichiro returned from outside, his family did not ask him anything, so he did not bring it up himself. Now the time is just right.

Chapter 409 Xiao Xun: You're the real family!

After listening to Ichiro Takayanagi's story, both Kaoru Takayanagi and Ran Mouri frowned slightly, after all, Suzuka Oki's uncle was really too much.

Fortunately, the ending was good. Suzuka Ooki was stabbed to death by Suzuka Ooki's father and ended up in prison.

"Brother, as long as you don't bring other women home, I won't object to anything you do."

At this point, Kaoru Takayanagi made her stance clear: she knew about the relationship between Ichiro Takayanagi and Suzuka Oki, and that Suzuka Oki's mother was now working at the fried chicken shop.

Just as she said, as long as Ichiro Takayanagi doesn't bring women into the house, she won't care how carefree he is outside.

After Kaoru Takayanagi finished speaking, she noticed that Ran Mouri and Mitsuka Takayanagi were looking at her, so she quickly tried to make amends.

"Of course, Ran's mother, Sonoko's mother, or Sonoko's sister can move in."

Takayanagi Ichiro's office isn't very big; if all these people were to move in, it would be completely packed.

However, Kaoru Takayanagi still wanted to express this attitude, to show that he had no ill will towards Ran Mouri.

"Xiao Xun, why are you spouting nonsense like this?"

At this moment, Gao Liu Mihua put on a stern face and began to lecture her daughter.

Kaoru Takayanagi has gotten a little carried away and actually wants to make some decisions on behalf of Ichiro Takayanagi, which is unacceptable.

In this household, Ichiro Takayanagi is the absolute ruler; whatever he says goes.

"Xiao Xun, my mother has already said that she will focus on her career and will not live in this house unless she retires."

As for Sonoko, she could only come over to stay for a day occasionally at this time.

Furthermore, her mother has to manage the entire Linmu Group, and her older sister might inherit the Suzuki Group in the future, so why would she be living in this house?

Actually, Ran Mouri didn't intend to compete with Kaoru Takayanagi for anything at this time; she just wanted to clarify things.

"Mom, Sister Xiaolan, I know I was wrong."

At this moment, Kaoru Takayanagi lowered her head to admit her mistake, and even secretly glanced at Ichiro Takayanagi to see if he was angry.

"It's normal for Xiaoxun to have this kind of thought, and I can assure you that I will not bring other women to live in this house."

Takayanagi Ichiro showed no intention of disciplining his daughter, which relieved Takayanagi Mitsuka.

After hearing Takayanagi Ichiro's assurance, Takayanagi Mitsuka looked at him tenderly. This was a man she could completely entrust herself to.

"Mom, you reminded me of something so important today, so my older brother is yours."

Kaoru Takayanagi originally wanted to smile and give up Ichiro Takayanagi, but she shrank back after feeling her mother's gaze.

Ran Mouri couldn't stop laughing after seeing all this.

She used to live with her father and only saw her mother occasionally, so there was no interaction between them.

That's why she finds these actions precious when they happen to Kaoru Takayanagi and Mitsuka Takayanagi, and she won't interfere.

"Xiao Lan, I think your role as a tutor can be upgraded to another level. You can take over the management of Xiao Xun."

After giving her daughter a disapproving look, Takayanagi Mitsuka told Mouri Ran her request.

In Takayanagi Mitsuka's eyes, Mouri Ran was a perfect daughter.

She has excellent academic performance, is a star player in the karate club, is very healthy, and can even cook delicious meals at home.

It's the most perfect thing that Kaoru Takayanagi was able to have Ran Mouri as her tutor.

Unfortunately, Kaoru Takayanagi's appearance has almost reached its peak, so there's not much room for improvement.

However, Takayanagi Mitsuka believes that if Ran Mouri's butler were stricter, Ran Mouri might change for the better, which is why she gave Ran Mouri more disciplinary power.

"Sister Mihua, I don't think we need to put too much pressure on Xiaoxun."

As long as she continues to grow up around us, nothing bad will happen.

Even if she suddenly makes a mistake, we can correct it in time because we're there for her.

Ran Mouri's words deeply moved Kaoru Takayanagi, who looked at Ran with teary eyes.

If it weren't for Takayanagi Mitsuka's existence, Takayanagi Kaoru might even call her "Mom," which is incredibly enlightened.

Ran Mouri is not only very good to her own mother, helping her solve some difficulties, but it seems she will also be a good mother to her daughter in the future.

"I think Xiaolan is right. Xiaoxun can grow up by our side. We don't need her to make too many changes."

"father!"

Kaoru Takayanagi was deeply moved that Ichiro Takayanagi not only failed to educate her, but also agreed with Ran Mouri's words at this time, which made Kaoru Takayanagi very touched, and she changed how she addressed Ichiro Takayanagi.

"Xiao Xun, are you trying to rebel?"
