Old Deng told him to wait, and Bai Ye patiently waited this time to see how far Old Deng could struggle in his death throes.
And so it went, White Night.
After watching Old Deng Toyokawa make more than a dozen phone calls, he confirmed that the Toyokawa Group was no longer under the control of the Toyokawa family.
And after trying every connection I could find, I discovered that it was completely useless.
Even several officials whom he had previously flattered and bribed were now saying they wanted to sever ties with him.
Toyokawa Sadaharu finally came to terms with reality.
After realizing that Bai Ye's identity was definitely not simple.
The stern look on his face was gone.
After waiting in the white night for more than ten minutes.
With a sullen face, Toyokawa finally managed a stiff smile and asked Bai Ye in a fawning manner.
"I don't know how our Toyokawa family offended this sir. If you only have your eye on our ancestral home, I'm willing to move out with my whole family."
"We humbly beg you to spare the Toyokawa family. We will follow your lead from now on."
That's right, after making Bai Ye wait for more than ten minutes, Toyokawa Lao Deng directly admitted defeat to Bai Ye.
Although he didn't know where he had offended Byakuya, Toyokawa Sadaharu, who had been navigating the elite circles of Japan for so many years, certainly did.
The person who could make Bai Ye's connections useless was definitely not someone that I, from the mere Toyokawa family, could afford to offend.
Whether this matter was a sudden whim of the lord or something that one of our own family members truly offended, if not handled properly, the entire Toyokawa family will face utter ruin.
Now, Toyokawa Sadaharu can only hope in his heart that Byakuya really only wants his house and will let his whole family go after he takes the house.
but
Clearly, Byakuya's answer was different from what Toyokawa Sadaharu had imagined.
"I want the house! But I heard you have a granddaughter named Toyokawa Shoko, right?"
"what!"
Bai Ye's words startled Toyokawa Sadaharu.
Could it be that this important figure has taken a liking to my son, Xiangzi? If Xiangzi were to marry this man, it seems that for the Toyokawa family...
Toyokawa Sadaharu was still lost in thought when Byakuya's next words shattered Old Deng's dream.
"I happen to be short of a maid, as a price for your Toyokawa family's submission. How about your granddaughter, Toyokawa Shoko, become my maid?"
The mere status of a maid made Toyokawa Sadaharu frown.
If Byakuya were to ask Shoko to marry him directly, Toyokawa Sadaharu would probably agree without hesitation.
After all, given Bai Ye's current status and power, marrying into the Toyokawa family would definitely be beneficial for the Toyokawa family.
But if it's just a maid's identity that can be discarded after being used, then...
Toyokawa Sadaharu hesitated, then suddenly thought of how to deal with Byakuya's explanation.
"Well... sir, actually, my granddaughter was expelled from the family because her father, Toyokawa Kiyokaku, caused the Toyokawa Group to suffer a loss of 168 billion yen. She also left with her father. So now I don't know where Xiangzi is."
"is it?"
Bai Ye picked up the tea he had just brewed and took a small sip. Then, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
As soon as Toyokawa Sadaharu opened his mouth, Byakuya realized that this was just an excuse from the old man who was dissatisfied with the maid identity he was talking about and didn't want to cooperate with him.
However, this had no effect on Bai Ye.
"I do recall the 168 billion you mentioned."
"When you were in power before, for some reason you didn't hold Xiangzi's father, Toyokawa Kiyokao, accountable. Go find him and get back the 168 billion that was swindled from you!"
"what?"
Toyokawa Sadaharu didn't understand why Byakuya would suddenly bring up this matter.
They didn't react for a moment.
However, what Bai Ye said next caused Old Deng's expression to change drastically.
"But now that the Fengchuan Group is my property, shouldn't I have the right to sue Fengchuan Qing for compensation? If Xiangzi knew that she could solve her father's 168 billion debt by becoming a maid in my house, the filial Xiangzi would definitely agree!"
Before Toyokawa could react after hearing Bai Ye's words, several burly men in black suits, sent by the cabinet to serve Bai Ye, stood behind him.
Indeed, the moment he heard his master finish speaking, he immediately began to instruct people to do as Bai Ye had just said.
The efficiency of their actions impressed Bai Ye, who couldn't help but marvel that once you become the father of Japan, their service efficiency is never lacking.
Meanwhile, Toyokawa Sadaharu could only suppress his ugly expression and helplessly and resentfully arrange for people to move his belongings out of his house to make room for Byakuya to live in the Toyokawa residence.
"Oh, right! Just leave Xiangzi's room as it is, she'll be back tomorrow anyway."
Especially after hearing Bai Ye's instructions, Lao Deng felt a sense of frustration that he had nowhere to vent his anger.
......
The next day
Byakuya had just woken up in Toyokawa Sadaharu's bedroom when she received the news that Toyokawa Shoko had come to her house to work as a maid.
Incidentally, since Toyokawa no Tomoya just moved out yesterday and there wasn't enough time to buy new furniture, Byakuya simply threw Toyokawa no Tomoya's original bed outside and then took out his own big bed from the Divine Kingdom to sleep in.
After getting up, I called Canary and we ate breakfast together.
Bai Ye finally saw the figure of a girl in a black and white maid outfit, gritting her teeth and looking stubborn, on the sofa in the living room of the mansion.
Toyokawa Shoko felt extremely wronged today.
She, Toyokawa Shoko, was originally the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family and the sole heir to the family fortune.
However, he lost his mother at a young age, and was later kicked out of his home because his father was swindled out of 168 billion yuan in debt.
The girl's original plan was to work hard with her father, settle down with him first, and then use her extensive musical knowledge to build a cosmic warship, debut in one fell swoop, and make her own world without relying on her family.
However, the father whom he wanted to be with after disbanding Kulaishiku became an alcoholic.
She worked incredibly hard, even learning to be a food delivery driver, to support him, but all she got in return was Toyokawa Kiyokao's vicious words.
That's fine then.
But just yesterday, her father's creditors unexpectedly came knocking on the door. Toyokawa Shoko originally thought that since it was her family's property, what creditors would they have to back down because of her status as the young lady of the house?
However, an even bigger piece of bad news left Toyokawa Shoko completely stunned.
The Toyokawa family has gone bankrupt!
According to the burly men in black suits who came to collect the debt, they originally thought the Toyokawa family was incredibly powerful and had been their backer.
It suddenly went bankrupt and closed down yesterday. The company was acquired by someone else and renamed Hequan.
Furthermore, his father's debts were inherited by the Izumi family.
Now the other party is coming to collect the debt.
This left Xiangzi, who had only worked for a few days and learned about the dangers of society, completely at a loss.
Looking at his monthly salary of less than 10,000 yen and the astronomical bill of 168 billion yen that the other party presented.
Xiangzi had an impulse to abandon his father and leave.
But...
He's still her father, no matter what! Besides, the Toyokawa family is now bankrupt, and even if she leaves, Shoko doesn't know where she should go.
Then, just when the girl was in utter despair...
The other party actually offered to let her father's debts go unpunished if she became a maid in the Izumi family.
This made Xiangzi, who didn't have much social experience, feel a crisis of chastity. But when he thought of his father and his current situation where he had nowhere to go, he felt a pang of guilt.
Xiangzi gritted his teeth and finally agreed to the man in the black suit's terms.
They followed them to what was supposedly Izumi's house.
but!
This isn't the Izumi family's place at all; isn't this the house I used to live in?
There was no time to ponder why their own villa had become someone else's house.
Sitting upright on the sofa, even in her maid outfit, Toyokawa Shoko forced herself to maintain the demeanor of a young lady. And so she saw the man who would become the master she would serve in the future.
Then...
Xiangzi was stunned again.
The handsome young man in front of me, and the doll he's holding.
Isn't this the boy I saw from afar yesterday when I was delivering the food?
There's no mistake. Even if she misremembered the boy's handsome face, she was certain she wouldn't mistake the doll in the boy's arms that she liked so much.
The green spiral curls, the same emerald green pupils, and the violin in her hand.
Why are you staring at me like that?
The doll's sudden speech startled Toyokawa Shoko, but it also snapped her out of her daze.
After being startled awake, Xiangzi recalled the impromptu lesson on maid etiquette given to her by the men in black suits. She immediately stood up from the sofa in a fluster and introduced herself to Bai Ye.
"Hello, Dog Xiu Jinsama! I'm the new maid who arrived at the mansion today... my name is Toyokawa Shoko (with stockings)."
"Excuse me, is there anything you need to tell me, Dog-Shu Jinsa?"
"Give me your orders! Hmm... I remember you shouldn't be in Tsuki no Mori anymore; you should have transferred to Haneoka Girls' Academy by now!"
Seeing Toyokawa Shoko's still somewhat haughty demeanor, Bai Ye simply smiled slightly.
"Yes...yes, Dogshu Jinsama!"
"Then I'll be transferring to Haneoka tomorrow. From now on, you can be my daughter Canary's music maid at home. And at school, you can be my personal maid!"
"what!?"
Bai Ye's words left Xiangzi somewhat bewildered. Xiangzi's first reaction upon hearing Bai Ye's words was, "Isn't Yuqiu supposed to be a girls' academy?" His second reaction was, "Where is the young lady named Canary whom Bai Ye has asked me to serve?"
However, Bai Ye did not explain to Xiangzi.
He simply reached out and touched Toyokawa Shoko's cheek.
"As for now... just start lifting it up for me!"
"Ah! Is it finally coming?"
The maid, Xiaoxiang, bit her teeth tightly. When she learned that the other party had threatened her with 168 billion to become a maid, Xiangzi had already thought that this day would come.

"Ah! Is it finally coming?"
The maid, Xiaoxiang, bit her teeth tightly. When she learned that the other party had threatened her with 168 billion to become a maid, Xiangzi had already thought that this day would come.
However, Xiangzi never expected that this day would come so soon.
Her hands trembled slightly as she gripped the hem of her skirt.
Xiangzi glared hatefully at the man in front of her. She wanted to throw off her former rich girl image and righteously refuse Bai Ye's unreasonable order.
But...
"You don't want Toyokawa Kiyoko to be arrested and jailed because of the 168 billion yen issue, do you?"
The other party's threat to use his father as leverage made Xiangzi unable to muster the confidence to resist Baiye.
There was no way around it; Xiangzi was just that kind of girl who bullied the weak and feared the strong. The closer a girl was to her and the more she cared about her, the more she could bully her, even putting on a superior attitude and speaking harshly to her.
But when you face someone like Bai Ye, who is clearly a villain and just wants to bully you.
Xiangzi will instantly transform into a soft and docile little Xiangzi, forced to accept the bullying with a pitiful expression.
So, Xiao Xiang could only lift it up with trembling little hands and a look of disgust on his face.
