Why are you messing with him? All the animals in Tokyo are his minions.

He just wanted to be Shuyue's father. It didn't matter whether he married Yanzhu or not. If he couldn't become husband and wife with Yanzhu, he also hoped to be Shuyue's relative.

However, Shuyue just smiled and said nothing every time, and never gave a clear agreement.

This time, Shizishenlu invited Shuyue again, and the festival they celebrated was the Southern New Year.

Shizishenlu said that this year both the Northern and Southern Little New Years were celebrated together, and dumplings and Korean ginseng stewed chicken soup were prepared.

At the same time, Shishishenlu said that he had some good news to share and asked Shuyue to be present.

This is how we have been doing in previous years.

Yan Zhu did not suspect anything and conveyed Lion Shenlu's request to Shuyue.

At this time, Shuyue had just finished receiving Chi Shang Jingyu, and Yan Zhu told him about the dinner at Lion God Road.

Shuyue placed her hands on the coffee table, and her slender fingertips tapped the surface of the table, creating a rhythmic beat.

Shuyue pondered for a moment and said, "Lion God Road's wings have grown hard."

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhu frowned.

Shuyue chuckled softly, "I have good news to share. It means that Tomoe is now under his control. Mom, do you remember the funeral of Tomoe's team leader, Shishigamiji, last month?"

"Remember, you said we had no ties with Shishigamiji, and that you were ill and couldn't go. After the gift money was delivered, you didn't go." Yan Zhu narrowed her eyes slightly. "There was a gunfight at the funeral that day. Inspector Aoki said it was the first serious yakuza conflict in five years."

Shuyue said calmly, "Over the past five years, 'Ba' has completed its transformation, but it can't shake off its underworld roots. Although it has become a businessman, its internal struggles are not as gentle as those of ordinary companies."

Yan Zhu lowered her eyes and said, "You mean to say that he has completely controlled Ba..."

The original "Tomo" was a huge Yakuza organization, and it became even more prosperous after the Yamaguchi-gumi and Okawa-kai were wiped out.

But at that peak, "Ba" suddenly changed his style under the influence of Shishigami Road and started to run a new industry.

It took several years to transform from a Yakuza organization into a legitimate business organization.

While other members of the Yakuza organizations of the same period have fallen on hard times due to the rapid development of society, "Ba" is becoming more and more prosperous.

It is undeniable that this is all thanks to Lion God Road.

At that time, the Lion God Road was still climbing up, and he needed help, needed goodwill, and needed the tree and moon...

Now that Shishigami Road has accomplished its goal, what’s next?

What will be the new goal of Lion God Road?

Human desires are infinite.

Human greed is limitless.

Yan Zhu asked softly, "So...are we still going to the appointment this time?"

"Of course I have to go..." Shuyue raised his eyes and a kind smile appeared on his face.

Chapter 293 Young Years

Vehicles driving out of the Silver Moon Group’s headquarters came onto the street.

Across a few streets.

Shuyue was sitting in the back seat of the car, with Sayuri Araki and Yui Kanda next to him.

Shuyue was wearing a Japanese yukata and a haori with a quilted lining.

Sayuri Araki and Yui Kanda wore similar Gothic dresses, giving off a completely two-dimensional image.

Since Shishishenlu specifically emphasized that it was a family dinner, Shuyue would naturally bring his two "wives".

Outside the car window, rows of houses flew behind us like floating islands.

The dazzling neon lights and headlights of surrounding vehicles are very dazzling.

Araki Sayuri stared at Shuyue's profile. She wanted to say something but stopped herself and finally said nothing.

The vehicle finally drove into an izakaya called "Moon Viewing Sakura".

The restaurant's exterior is decorated in the Taisho period style of Japan.

The whole building has two floors. The lower floor is a vast space, and the second floor is a U-shaped building with pure Japanese-style restaurant boxes.

Shizishenlu always chooses a different venue for each dinner party, in order to avoid being remembered by those with ulterior motives and making malicious preparations in advance.

Along with the invitation, Shishigamiji also sent the floor plan and restaurant menu of the "Tsukimi Sakura" izakaya.

Shishigamiji will ask the chef to prepare special meals, but if Shuyue is not satisfied enough, he can order some dishes from the izakaya menu.

In addition, if the decoration makes Shuyue uncomfortable, Shuyue can directly request to change the venue.

Kanda Yui sat next to Shuyue and circled the best places to hide or escape on the floor plan with a red pen.

Araki Sayuri was looking at the menu. She pouted and said, "This restaurant specializes in yakitori, grilled fish, grilled wagyu beef, hand-made soba noodles, and tempura. Of course, they also have sushi and teppanyaki. The set menu includes not only the main course, but also pickles, salad, hot tea, and miso soup. The prices are quite affordable."

Kanda Yui said softly, "The venue is too wide, suitable for fighting, but this uncle always chooses venues in this way."

Shuyue nodded without saying anything.

It not only makes things convenient for yourself, but also for those who seek revenge.

Over the years, the two girls have developed a habit of doing analysis wherever they go.

Although it was not used many times, the habit remained.

The convoy drove into the "Moon Viewing Sakura" izakaya.

Shishigamiru personally greeted Shuyue in the garage.

The moment Xiaoshan stopped the car.

Shizi Shenlu came over attentively and opened the back door.

"Long time no see, long time no see, Miss Kanda and Miss Araki have become even more beautiful. Oh, Shuyue, you have grown a lot taller."

Shishishinlu was smiling, his cheeks seemed to be red from the cold, and it seemed that he had been waiting here for quite some time.

Seven years ago, Shishigamiru met Shuyue for the first time.

Now, after so much time, Shishi Shenlu is still the same as before, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, his hair is carefully groomed, and his clothes are neatly dressed, making himself look elegant and refined.

A trace of emotion flashed across Shuyue's eyes. He smiled and said, "Uncle Lu, you're welcome. It's too cold. You can wait in the inner room and let the izakaya staff lead the way. You've paid to be here, so it's better to let them take care of the welcoming and guiding."

Shishigamilu smiled and held an umbrella for Shuyue to shield her from the falling snow.

Kanda Yui and Araki Sayuri walked behind, holding their own umbrellas. They were already used to Shishigamiru's behavior.

Yan Zhu's convoy will arrive later.

When Yan Zhu got off the car, she happened to see Shishigamiru personally leading Shuyue towards the izakaya.

Seeing this scene, Yan Zhu once again deeply understood the purpose of Shizi Shenlu's previous kindness to her, but Shuyue was not so easy to fool.

Shuyue and Shishishinlu walked in front.

A group of well-dressed bodyguards protected them along the way.

It was Shishigamilu who was talking the whole time, while Shuyue remained silent.

"...Shuyue, today is the Minor New Year in the South. Do you remember what we eat during this festival?"

Shishigamilu's tone was full of smiles and intimacy, like that of a loving father.

This is the consistent style of Lion God Road.

Whether it is true or false is not stated.

The Lion God Road is built for others to see.

He wanted others to think that he, Shishi Shenlu, had a good relationship with Shifangtang Shuyue.

The new employees are all good young people in society.

But the old people in the "Ba" company are different. They all know the horror of Sifangtang Shuyue.

It can be said that in the past seven years, Shizishenlu has been relying on the name of Sifangtang Shuyue to bully others.

After Shishi Shenlu's plan to marry Yan Zhu fell through, Shishi Shenlu focused on building a good relationship with Shuyue.

However, Shuyue remained indifferent to this kind of game.

Just act it out.

"I remember you said on the phone that the Little New Year in the north and the Little New Year in the south should be celebrated together." Shuyue's face was calm.

"I'm from the south, so I'll calculate according to the southern customs. Shuyue, do you remember? What did you eat?" Shishi Shenlu said with an unchanged smile.

Shuyue spoke in Chinese and said mercilessly: "This topic is mentioned every year. You need to change to something interesting."

People in the north eat dumplings, while people in the south eat rice cakes. Dumplings are shaped like "ingots" and rice cakes sound like "year-old" in Chinese.

Every year, Shishi Shenlu told him these things as if he was coaxing a child.

It's quite annoying...

Shu Yueji continued, "I'm not saying anything bad about you, but even in southern China, different regions have different customs. You can't represent everyone. Some southerners don't even celebrate the Little New Year, let alone eat rice cakes."

Even though Shuyue complained, Shishi Shenlu still smiled and said, "Today I made rice cakes, made of glutinous rice flour, which symbolizes reunion. Also, I made New Year's rice dumplings and pig-killing dishes. I also made glutinous rice balls with osmanthus sugar. The sugarcane I brought from my hometown, and twenty-four dumplings."

Shuyue looked at Shishigamilu speechlessly.

Unknowingly.

Shishigamilu had already brought Shuyue to a spacious box.

There is a Japanese low table inside and everyone has to kneel down to sit.

In fact, Shuyue doesn’t like this sitting posture, and he doesn’t like letting his two wives sit like this for a long time, because their legs will become ugly.

"I've asked your uncle Yusuan to watch over the dishes in the kitchen. When you come, the dishes will be served."

Shishigamilu continued to speak passionately.

Those who don’t know would think Shuyue is really his son.

Shuyue shook his head speechlessly and did not continue to sneer because there was no need.

After Shuyue sat down.

Shishi Shenlu immediately called the kitchen.

Not long after Shuyue sat down, hot dishes were served on the table.

Not long after, Yan Zhu also arrived. She simply greeted Shizi Shenlu and sat down.

Kanda Yui and Araki Sayuri are still sitting next to Shuyue. They will serve the food for Shuyue and will not let anyone else do it.

After the dishes were served, Yun Yusuan also came and took a seat, followed by Shizi Shenlu and Yun Yusuan's sister and brother-in-law.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a family is having dinner around the table during the Chinese New Year.

Chapter 294 A Strange Rise

It has been like this for many years.

Shishishenlu's sister and her family always hide in the corner every time there is a dinner party, and often make excuses not to come.

The question is, the child is in cram school and the family cannot be left unattended.

Or maybe the child has a cold and fever, and they’re afraid of infecting everyone, so they’re resting in the next room.

In fact, Shuyue knew very well that Shishi Shenlu was worried that her sister's children were young, naughty and ignorant, and would inadvertently anger Shuyue.

Shuyue seems gentle, but he is ruthless to anyone who offends him, regardless of gender, age or status.

In order to avoid falling out.

We can't give each other a reason to fall out.

It is precisely because of this that Shishigamiru's sister's family always has two adults attending dinner parties.

I always come when my children are sick or have a cold and it is inconvenient for them to attend.

Then the two of them always finished their meal in a hurry and left to take care of the children.

Until now, Shuyue has never formally met Shishigamilu's nephew.

All we know is that Shishigamiru has two nephews, both of whom are "sickly".
