“My mother’s name is Oriental Art. I am her second daughter, a racehorse girl. I also have an older sister named Dream Journey.”

"I don't know if Mengjie is home or not. She's been out having fun for a long time and hasn't come back yet. But anyway, it doesn't matter if I don't see Mengjie when I go to see my mother."

"..."

Suddenly, Chi Tian hesitated. He was now reluctant to enter the Huang family's gate.

Chapter 438: The Golden Journey: The Golden Family on Red Alert! Meeting New Family Members!

The group hailed a taxi and headed in a grand procession towards the Golden Family's territory—or rather, the Golden Ranch. It was the true home of all the Golden Family's racehorse girls.

Wow—this is the Golden Ranch!

The group got out of the taxi and finally stopped in front of a large house that looked quite like a Japanese samurai style. Dongshang Biange also let out a big exclamation when he saw this scene, and was startled by the scene of the Golden Ranch.

In stark contrast to the typical European style of Mejiro Ranch, the Golden Family Mansion tends to use more retro solid wood. It doesn't have a multi-story design, nor does it have any particularly intricate carvings or decorations. The overall style is simple yet grand, giving people the feeling that a great person would live in seclusion inside.

While the old lady of the Meguro ranch also felt the same way, it was not so much about majesty, but rather a sense of luxurious luxury and prestige. The Golden family did not have the same wealth and resources as the Meguro family, but they put a lot of effort into demonstrating their strength and authority.

It even gave people the feeling of being in a yakuza family... Without realizing it, everyone in Ikezoe's group, except for the master, unconsciously began to puff out their chests and try to appear brave, but this only made them seem more and more reserved.

"That's how it is... We're not like those rich young ladies from the Megumi family. I heard that this house was built by the older generation of our Golden family when we first started out."

The goldsmith seemed to be bringing someone to his home for the first time, and was surprisingly reserved and unaccustomed to it. But since he was at his own doorstep, the goldsmith took a few deep breaths to calm himself down before stepping forward and pressing a call button on the door. A piercing ringtone immediately rang out.

"...Hello, this is the Huang family. Who is outside the door?" Soon, a clear and cold voice rang out, and both Huang Jin and Chi Tian were slightly taken aback when they heard the voice.

"Big sister? What are you doing home? I thought you—"

"It's Christmas, after all. Even a competition wouldn't be held at this time of year, would it?" The voice of Golden Journey slowly sounded from the other end of the pager: "Master, you're back too. Wait a moment, I'll open the door for you."

"Wait—elder sister, let me hear you first!"

However, the master never expected that Golden Journey would be at home, and she panicked immediately. However, she was obviously a step too slow. Soon, as the gate of the mansion opened, Golden Journey, dressed in black home clothes, appeared in front of everyone.

For a moment, Golden Journey, along with Ikezoe, Tosho Reform, Makoto, and the Golden Master outside, all stared at each other in silence. However, in an instant, Golden Journey immediately retreated and slammed the door shut.

Soon, accompanied by a commotion that could be heard by Ikezoe and his group outside, the door opened again in just three or four seconds, and this time, the Golden Journey looked completely different.

Dressed in a smart and crisp outfit, looking neat and formal as if he were ready to go to the arena at any time, his previously unkempt black hair had suddenly become as smooth as a waterfall. In fact, Golden Journey's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, Chizue and his group might have thought they were hallucinating.

"—Trainer Ikezoe, and a few others, welcome to the Golden House."

Golden Journey stepped forward and opened the iron gate outside, inviting everyone in. As if nothing had happened before, he addressed Ikezoe and his group:

"I didn't know you were coming, I'm so sorry for not welcoming you properly. Ah, Master, please take Trainer Ikezoe and everyone else to the living room first, I'll be there in a bit."

"Ah... Miss Golden Journey, it's been a long time."

This was the second time that Chi Tian had met the Golden Journey. The first time, the Golden Journey entrusted the master to him and hoped that he could lead the master to the Arc de Triomphe. After that, Chi Tian never heard any news about the Golden Journey again.

This time, Golden Journey was so polite, obviously because Golden Master's classic three-crown record made Golden Journey feel that they had made the right choice in selecting him. And facing the trainer who enabled the master to bring out his talent, Golden Journey naturally showed great respect to Ikezoe.

Even so, Golden Journey was still Chi Tian's senior, and Chi Tian took the opportunity to hand her the gift she had prepared beforehand, solemnly saying:

"These are some small gifts, Miss Golden Journey. I apologize for visiting you unannounced."

"...You're too kind, Trainer Ikezoe. You are a distinguished guest of the Golden Family."

Golden Journey accepted the gifts without hesitation and then invited everyone into the room. However, before Chi Tian and the others could even enter, Golden Journey shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Celebration! You gambling addict, get out here right now! Come and meet your future brother-in-law! And Oriental Art! You come out too! Meet your future son-in-law!"

"Aaaaaaah!! Big sister!!"

However, the goldsmith who had just entered the entrance hall suddenly knelt down with a "bang," collapsing to the ground in a posture of deep regret, and letting out an extremely shameful wail.

That's why she doesn't like the Golden Trip being at home! This eldest sister of hers! She's incredibly loose-lipped! She can't keep a secret at all! She just blurts everything out the moment she opens her mouth!

……

"clatter."

"Please have some tea, Trainer Ikezoe."

"Ah... um, thank you."

Faced with the seemingly indifferent yet genuinely respectful Zhongshan Festival leader who was sucking on a lollipop, Chi Tian knelt awkwardly on the cushion. Beside him, the Golden Master, Zhen Jiling, and Dongshang Reform all looked equally reserved, clearly unaccustomed to this atmosphere.

Especially since the person brewing his tea was Nakayama Kichijo… This member of the Golden Family was also known as a troublesome figure. As someone who had ridden two generations of racehorses from the Golden Family, Ikezoe, although he had never ridden Nakayama Kichijoe, was still terrified by the reputation of this bad-tempered racehorse, who was also the only son of the Golden Family. Having suffered at the hands of the Golden Family twice, Ikezoe was already quite intimidated by the name of this horse.

"...What's wrong? Am I that scary?" Zhongshan Qingdian clearly noticed the somewhat fearful and reserved look in Ikezoe's eyes. Being a smart girl, she replied calmly:

"I know that Master is not nice to you, but I am different from Master. As long as you don't mess with me, I basically don't like to mess with others... Getting angry is very tiring."

"However, I watched your match against the master, and I have to say, that Arima Kinen match really got my blood pumping. Although you lost in the end, I think you've already won a lot."

"To fight fearlessly to the end against such a formidable opponent, and even earn the respect of the opponent, is much more difficult than simply betting on winning a single match."

As Zhongshan Qingdian spoke, his words unconsciously revealed a hint of excitement for the match. Zhongshan Qingdian's mood had always been rather calm and listless, but he could only feel that thrill during the match.

Honestly, when Zhongshan Qingdian saw the Gold Master and the Lady cross the finish line almost simultaneously, she herself was so excited that she cried. Of course, Zhongshan Qingdian couldn't tell anyone else about this, especially not Gold Journey, that big mouth, when she was at home.

However, the envy she revealed in her words, as well as her admiration for Chi Tian's abilities, made the golden master's ears perk up slightly. Unconsciously, the golden master moved a little closer to Chi Tian with a hint of wariness on his face, as if he were asserting his dominance in front of the Zhongshan Festival.

Zhongshan Qingdian found the Gold Master's actions quite amusing. After taking the lollipop out of his mouth, he said to the Gold Master:

"Don't worry, Master, I won't steal your trainer—besides, if I really wanted to, you couldn't stop me."

“Stare—” However, upon hearing this, the Gold Master did not provoke him. Instead, he stared at Zhongshan Celebration with a resentful gaze that seemed to pierce through a person’s body.

Just then, with a creak of the wooden door, a beautiful figure walked in. A rather tall woman entered the hall with a smile and greeted everyone:

"Hello, this must be trainer Ikezoe, right? And his two racehorse girls, nice to meet you."

"My name is Oriental Art, and I am the mother of the child, the Master."

Chapter 439: What's it like to have a family full of oddballs?

Before arriving, Dongfang Yishu had been talked to by Jin Huanglv for a long time. When she heard Jin Huanglv say that the person who came this time might be her future son-in-law, Dongfang Yishu immediately chose to dress herself up nicely.

And so, everyone saw a dignified woman with golden hair, dressed in a kimono, as elegant as a Yamato Nadeshiko. She had the same smooth, golden hair as the goldsmith, and her dignified and gentle expression exuded the mature charm of a woman.

However, in reality, the golden journey that followed into the house was quite clear. Just ten minutes before she entered the room of Oriental Art, this lady was still a monster hunter with her legs wide open, a biscuit in her mouth, a stark contrast to her current image.

However, this time, Golden Journey will not expose Oriental Art. After all, she is a lady who wants to leave a good impression on her future son-in-law. In addition, she is, to some extent, of the same generation as her older sister, and she knows Oriental Art's temperament all too well.

If I expose her now, Oriental Art will brush it off, but once Chi Tian and the others leave, she'll be in for a rough night...

"Nice to meet you, trainer Ikezoe. I am the mother of the masters of Oriental Art~"

"Nice to meet you, madam. This is just a small gift—nothing to offer."

Upon hearing this, Chi Tian immediately stood up to greet Oriental Art, and with the help of the master craftsman, his gift was placed on the table. He looked extremely reserved, cautious, and trembling.

Seeing Ikezo's tense expression, Oriental Art immediately understood and smiled as it looked at Nakayama Festival, asking:

"Regarding the celebration, could you please take Miss Zhenjiling and Miss Dongshang Biange to give us a tour of our place? You have a really fun mahjong machine, right?"

"Oh." Upon hearing this, Zhongshan Qingdian realized that this was to create a sufficiently private space for the Gold Master and Ikezono, so she stood up and slowly left the hall with Zhen Jiling and Dongshang Biange.

As the wooden door slowly slid shut, both Oriental Art and Golden Journey sat down. Oriental Art smiled and gently addressed her slightly reserved daughter, the Master Craftsman, who even seemed a little shy:

"So, can we now have an open and honest discussion about this issue? Trainer Ikezoe."

"I regret that my husband is often away from home due to a job change, and the affairs of our Golden Family are all managed by Miss Golden Journey. Therefore, this time, let her take my husband's place."

"Please guide me." Golden Journey's expression remained very cool, but upon closer inspection, one could see that a flame seemed to be dancing joyfully in her deep eyes, highlighting the incredibly passionate heart beneath her seemingly calm exterior.

……

Meanwhile, just as Zhongshan Qingdian led Zhenjiling and Dongshang Biange out of the room, the three girls stopped in their tracks as soon as they closed the door. After exchanging glances, they quickly made the same choice...

"I want this spot! Don't try to take it from me, Karen!"

"Quickly let Karen-chan hear how Onii-chan and Master-kun's conversation went~"

"Hey, save me a seat too!"

For a moment, it was still the same door, but a small gap had been cut open. The three racehorse girls each had one eye through the crack in the door, carefully observing everything happening inside, while the three horses' ears were pressed tightly against the door frame, listening to all the news inside.

……

"Well then, Trainer Ikezoe, although I have talked about you with Tsuyu and I know some things about you, I'm sorry, as a woman who doesn't know much about herself, I don't have much specific knowledge about you."

Oriental Art tried her best to create the image of a Japanese housewife in front of Ikezoe, but she failed to notice that beside Ikezoe, her own daughter, the Golden Master, was constantly raising her eyebrows and smiling as she asked Ikezoe:

"Then, could you briefly introduce yourself? For example, some details that I don't know."

“Yes, Madam Dongfang.” Chi Tian nodded seriously and replied, “But what would you like to know?”

Chi Tian was well-prepared for such occasions. The most important thing at this time was to be honest and prove that he had not done anything wrong and that there was nothing he couldn't share with the Gold Master. This was the right way to improve the other party's parents' impression of him. Although it was old-fashioned, it was very effective.

Seeing Chi Tian's formal demeanor, Dongfang Yishu smiled and nodded, then asked with a slight brightening in her eyes:

"So... could you please tell me your income as a trainer?"

"Cough cough cough cough!" However, as soon as the Eastern Art said this, the master craftsman next to him coughed dryly and immediately said, "Mom! This has nothing to do with the present! Who asks about income right off the bat? This is a matter of personal privacy!"

"Oh dear, indeed, I was a bit abrupt." Dongfang Yishu seemed to realize her mistake only after hearing this, and then smiled and said, "Let's change the subject then."

"So, may I ask, between you and my daughter, who actively pursued each other? When did you first meet? What were the circumstances of your first meeting? When did you start dating? Did you wear a condom the first time you met...?"

"Ughhhhhh!!!"

However, the barrage of questions from Eastern art prompted the Gold Master to suddenly speak out loudly, a unique way for him to interrupt his mother's nagging.

Since I can't get my mom to stop talking, I'll just have to cover it up with a loud voice!

"Master, why did you suddenly make such a loud noise?"

"Because if I don't do this, there really won't be any way to salvage the situation!" Faced with the slightly startled question from the Golden Journey, the Golden Master, blushing, slammed her hand on the table and buried her face in it. Steam rose from her head from embarrassment as she said, utterly ashamed:

"I was wrong, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have suggested bringing Chi Tian here to see you all... I knew you would laugh at me to death for this, but I still brought him along..."

"I'm so stupid... I shouldn't have brought Chi Tian along... Now you're all going to laugh at me to death..."

"Master, no one is laughing at you, we are all happy for you."

However, after exchanging a glance, Golden Journey and Oriental Art smiled helplessly at each other. They felt an unspeakable concern for the master who had been bullied since childhood because she was born late and grew up a little slower, which made her sensitive and overly concerned about the reactions of those around her.

"It's just that most of us in the Golden Family care in a rather abnormal way. Master, perhaps you should look at your family members from a different perspective. That way, you'll have a completely different experience."

"Phew, please excuse me, Trainer Chi Tian." Dongfang Art smiled very dignifiedly and said to Chi Tian, ​​"Master's personality is rather eccentric. I'm sure you've suffered quite a bit while taking care of her."
