My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

Furthermore, there was a great deal of trust between Saki Kawasaki and Mrs. Kawasaki, who knew that the other would not do anything wrong, so they had far fewer heart-to-heart talks.

"Saki, what do you think of Mr. Takayanagi?"

Now that it's just the two of them here, Mrs. Kawasaki doesn't need to hide anything.

"Mom, you just said that there's a big age difference between you and Mr. Takayanagi. Have you changed your mind now?"

Chapter 681 Mom, Let Us Develop Freely

When Mrs. Kawasaki refused Kyoka Kawasaki's request to marry Ichiro Takayanagi, everyone in the family breathed a sigh of relief, including Saki Kawasaki.

But now Kawasaki Kyoka is asking himself again, to see what his attitude is towards Takayanagi Ichiro.

Could it be that Mrs. Kawasaki has changed her mind again and wants to develop something with Ichiro Takayanagi?

If she were to abandon her identity as Mrs. Kawasaki's eldest daughter, then Saki Kawasaki would definitely think it was a great idea.

Because Ichiro Takayanagi is truly an outstanding man, and the rest of his family members are quite dependent on him.

However, if it really were Mrs. Kawasaki and Ichiro Takayanagi who got married, Saki Kawasaki would feel a little resentful.

"What are you saying? There's a big age gap between me and Mr. Gao Liu, so of course it's impossible for me to marry him."

Furthermore, Dazhi definitely wouldn't want parents who aren't much older than him, so I also need to consider his opinion.

"Mom, what do you mean?"

Saki Kawasaki's thinking ability is temporarily impaired, which makes Mrs. Kawasaki feel a little helpless.

Her daughter had worried too much about the family and wasn't very serious about her own situation.

"I'm talking about your personal impression of Mr. Takayanagi. Mr. Takayanagi looks like a recent college graduate, and he's not that much older than you."

If you can have a good relationship with Mr. Takayanagi, it will be a good thing for both you and the family.

In the past, due to certain events, our family had to work hard to survive.

But now that you have Mr. Takayanagi's help, you should also consider your own situation.

When Mrs. Kawasaki said these words, she did not mean to sell her daughter; she genuinely hoped that her daughter would have a better life.

Now, Ichiro Takayanagi is a very mysterious man who has helped the family a lot and has a very good relationship with Saki Kawasaki's sister.

If Saki Kawasaki and Ichiro Takayanagi can develop a relationship, it would be a good thing for the family and for Saki Kawasaki herself.

"Mom, why did you suddenly bring this up?"

Kawasaki Saki's face immediately turned red; she hadn't expected her mother to be so good at changing the subject.

"Sashi, you are my best daughter."

If it weren't for family constraints, you might have even found love while you were in school.

With such a valuable resource as Mr. Takayanagi, I naturally hope you can have a better life.

Of course, if you don't share this view, then just pretend I didn't say anything.

Mrs. Kawasaki never forced her daughter to make bad decisions, giving Saki Kawasaki a great deal of freedom to choose.

"Mom, Mr. Gao Liu is a mysterious and outstanding man. He must be surrounded by many girls."

Even if I had feelings for Mr. Takayanagi, I certainly couldn't compete with the others.

Moreover, Mr. Gao Liu and I haven't had many interactions; I've spoken to him less than I have to to him today in Jinghua."

"Your sister does have a lot of interaction with Mr. Takayanagi, but she is just too young."

"It would take more than ten years for her to grow up, which is definitely impossible."

Mrs. Kawasaki could certainly see that Ichiro Takayanagi and Kyoka Kawasaki had a good relationship, but Ichiro Takayanagi couldn't possibly wait for Kyoka Kawasaki for more than ten years.

"But you just said that Mr. Takayanagi has no interest in you. Is that something you can be sure of?"

You should know that Saki Kawasaki is Mrs. Kawasaki's most outstanding daughter. Even compared with the children of her former colleagues, Saki Kawasaki is among the best.

Not only because of her contributions to the family, but also because of her stunning looks, she is considered top-tier.

Faced with such a female high school student, Takayanagi Ichiro showed no vivid reaction whatsoever. Could it be that Takayanagi Ichiro really prefers mature women?

If that's really the case, then things are getting a little complicated.

However, this doesn't make sense. After all, when Ichiro Takayanagi invited them to take over the convenience store, he didn't know Mrs. Kawasaki at all, and it's impossible that he knew that Saki Kawasaki had a beautiful mother.

"Mom, just like I said, Mr. Takayanagi is an outstanding and mysterious man, so he is definitely not short of girls around him."

There are many people more talented than me, so it's perfectly normal that I didn't make Mr. Takayanagi feel anything.

Kawasaki Saki appeared calm when she said this, but she was actually a little resentful inside.

After all, she could definitely sense that Ichiro Takayanagi had no feelings for her at all.

Although I didn't participate in the selection of class beauty or school beauty while I was in school, I still had a number of followers.

There were even students who wanted to confess their feelings to her, but she rejected them all.

This also shows that Saki Kawasaki herself has a certain appeal at school.

But when she's in front of Takayanagi Ichiro, she seems like a somewhat ugly girl.

"Saki, I guess it's because you didn't express these emotions that Mr. Takayanagi is hiding his feelings."

After all, your personality changed to some extent after your father passed away.

I keep unfamiliar people at arm's length; even if I've met them a few times, I can't consider them familiar.

Mrs. Kawasaki believed that her daughter was an excellent girl, but Saki Kawasaki's personality also had some flaws.

If Kawasaki Saki doesn't take the initiative, then Takayanagi Ichiro will definitely restrain some of his thoughts.

This could lead to a misunderstanding for Saki Kawasaki, who might think that she has no charm whatsoever.

"Mom, I know you mean well, but what I need to do now is to study hard."

Then, in my spare time, I'll help you run the convenience store better so that our family's finances can be stable.

As for other things, we can talk about them after I graduate from high school.

After all, I'll have more freedom and more choices in college, and maybe I'll even make some positive changes during that time.

Kawasaki Saki knew that Mrs. Kawasaki wouldn't harm her, but since neither she nor Takayanagi Ichiro had feelings for each other, there was no need to force them to be together; they should just let things develop slowly.

Chapter 682 Our Mom Misses You Very Much

Takayanagi Ichiro never interfered in the Kawasaki family's affairs, and besides, he had no intention of quickly winning over Kawasaki Sasaki and her mother, so he would just let things develop naturally over time.

Takayanagi Ichiro originally intended to drive straight home, but he encountered Katsura Kotonoha and Oki Rinka on the way, so he naturally stopped the car.

"Kotoha, Rinka, why are you still out so late?"

Choosing a house for Katsura Kotonoha is quite important, because this neighborhood is very safe, so there shouldn't be many problems for two high school girls to be out together.

Both Katsura Kotonoha and Oki Rinka were initially wary when they sensed a car parked nearby.

However, upon hearing the familiar voice and seeing the familiar face, the two high school girls also showed expressions of excitement.

They hadn't seen Takayanagi Ichiro for quite some time, and their family was known for its excellent upbringing.

Instead of going directly to find Takayanagi Ichiro, they chose to wait patiently.

Because they and their mother believed that Ichiro Takayanagi would never forget them.

The main reason is that Kotonoha Katsura's sister and her best friend went to find Ichiro Takayanagi, and knowing that Ichiro Takayanagi had not forgotten them, they felt more at ease.

"We came out to buy some things to go home. Brother Gao Liu, what business did you go out to run and are you coming back from?"

It was Katsura Kotonoha who spoke with Takayanagi Ichiro first, since it was Takayanagi Ichiro who met Katsura Kotonoha first. Oki Rinka didn't seem to want to compete for her, because she was doing well at Katsura Kotonoha's house.

Moreover, living with her mother is much better than before.

"Get in the car, I'll take you home first."

Both high school girls, Kotonoha Katsura and Rinka Oki, accepted Ichiro Takayanagi's invitation.

However, they did not choose to sit in the front passenger seat; instead, the two of them sat in the back.

They could smell other women's perfume in the car, but Katsura Kotonoha and Oki Rinka didn't mind at all.

Since they've already communicated within their families, even if they unite, they can't monopolize Takayanagi Ichiro, so they might as well just do their own thing.

Don't try to compete with me; you might just get more attention that way.

On the way back, the two high school girls, Kotonoha Katsura and Rinka Oki, had quite a bit of interaction with Ichiro Takayanagi.

I know they went out to buy some materials because they were too busy in the shop.

After they go back, they will naturally help out with some things at the shop.

Naturally, the conversation inevitably turned to Saionji Sekai.

Because Saionji Sekai went to see Katsura Kotonoha at school, and her words indicated that she wanted to become friends with Katsura Kotonoha.

If it were the Katsura Kotonoha of the past, she would definitely have had some reservations when faced with such an enthusiastic Saionji Sekai.

However, she has changed a lot now, and with Rinka Ooki by her side, her interactions with Sekai Saionji are very good.

She could also sense that there was definitely a different relationship between Saionji Sekai and Takayanagi Ichiro, because Takayanagi Ichiro was the person they talked about the most.

"If you get along well, becoming good friends shouldn't be a problem."

If you can't connect, there's no need to force it.

This isn't just for Kotonoha; it's the same for Rinka. I won't force you to do anything you don't like.

Takayanagi Ichiro's words made Katsura Kotonoha and Oki Rinka, two high school girls, very happy, and it also proved that Takayanagi Ichiro had not forgotten them.

However, Katsura Kotonoha would not refuse to become good friends with Saionji Sekai.

Before the classes were divided, Saionji Sekai had shown goodwill towards Katsura Kotonoha.

Even after the class reshuffle, Saionji Sekai's reputation spread to her current class, and everyone there had no problem communicating with each other.
