"Well, Miss Takeuchi, what a rare guest!" Shinohara Ryo exclaimed as she stepped into the Dongshan Residence and saw Takeuchi Yasuko sitting upright on the sofa.
"Miss Shinohara, hello!" Takeuchi Yasuko stood up, gently bowed, and greeted Shinohara Ryo warmly.
"Godfather, did you invite Miss Takeuchi?" Shinohara Ryo ignored Takeuchi Yasuko and leaned against Takahashi Ryu, asking sweetly.
"Yasuko heard that the brat was injured and came specifically to visit. She even volunteered to take care of him until his wound heals. Just look at how considerate and gentle she is! I, Takahashi Ryu, want a granddaughter-in-law like her!" Takahashi Ryu laughed heartily, glancing at Shinohara Ryo and winking casually.
"Indeed, Miss Takeuchi's gentleness is truly unique in the entire Takeuchi Family..." Shinohara Ryo said with a flirtatious glance at Takeuchi Yasuko.
The Takeuchi Family is one of Japan's prominent families, having prospered due to their wealthy ancestors and the continuous efforts of their descendants. Even after many years, the Takeuchi Family remains well-known in Japan. Takeuchi Aoharu, as the head of the family, has married five wives and fathered four sons and three daughters. Takeuchi Yasuko is the youngest of the three daughters, known for her gentle demeanor and understanding nature, often praised by elders.
However, in Shinohara Ryo's eyes, everything about Takeuchi Yasuko seemed so insincere. She never found her charm or gentleness appealing; instead, she believed that such behavior was merely a facade to hide her true self and gain everyone's favor.
With her extensive experience in the Underworld, having encountered countless people over the years, Shinohara Ryo felt that Takeuchi Yasuko's true nature was far from simple. In the Takeuchi Family, she maneuvered carefully to win over all the elders' affection while pretending to be elegant and gentle in front of outsiders. With such cunning, how could she be just an ordinary woman?
But none of it mattered because she had never taken this woman seriously. Their relationship had no ties of interest; it was simply a matter of exchanging greetings when they met or remaining strangers—nothing more.
"Old Master, may I go upstairs to see Zhong Si Jun? I'm really worried about him!" Concern showed on Takeuchi Yasuko's face as she eagerly wanted to see Dong Shan Zhong Si.
"Of course, of course! The brat has been sleeping; it's time for his dressing change. Yasuko, could you please help him with that?"
“Old Master, it is an honor to serve Zhong Si Jun,” said Takeuchi Yasuko as she stood up in her kimono and walked lightly out of the living room towards the inner chamber.
Shinohara Ryo watched the fading figure, knowing what Takeuchi Yasuko was thinking. In the Takeuchi Family, daughters were not favored, so they could only rely on their husbands to hold their heads high in front of family members. As for Takeuchi Yasuko, even if she could win everyone's favor, it would not have much practical effect; finding a powerful backing was the most important thing. That was why she came to Dongshan Residence to curry favor with Godfather and Young Master Si.
To marry Cherry Blossom Hall Young Master Dong Shan Zhong and become his wife would mean she would be the Future Lady of Cherry Blossom Hall. With such a title, she could command respect in the Japanese Underworld. How could she not yearn for that? The Dongshan Family had always looked down on the Takeuchi Family, as they were a hundred times stronger. This was precisely why Takeuchi Yasuko was determined to marry into the Dongshan Family, so she could step on those from her own family. What an enticing prospect!
However, no matter how beautiful her dreams were, Young Master Si was already married. It seemed her dreams would come to nothing...
