My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

Sonoko Suzuki has a very sensitive nose, and she immediately smelled the milky scent on Ichiro Takayanagi.

Then he left Takayanagi Ichiro and carefully smelled him, eventually identifying the source.

Sonoko Suzuki's actions were noticed by Ran Mouri and Kaoru Takayanagi, and their gazes also fell on Ichiro Takayanagi.

“Xiaoxin and her best friend came here to play, and I played with them for a while.”

"Be careful?" Sonoko Suzuki didn't know the name, so Ichiro Takayanagi explained it to her briefly.

Upon hearing that Katsura Shin was actually helping with household chores, Sonoko Suzuki immediately nodded in agreement.

"Brother Ichiro, it's no problem for you to reward this kind of girl. If I were here, I would also be willing to reward her."

Sonoko Suzuki is also a very loyal person, and she especially admires people who make sacrifices for their families.

Her best friend Ran Mouri is just that kind of person.

For ten years after Ran Mouri's parents separated, Ran taught herself to cook and took care of her father.

Therefore, Suzuki Sonoko greatly admired girls like Katsura Kokoro.

“Brother Ichiro, if their family is willing, I can even get my family members to invest in them.”

There's absolutely no need for investigation; Guixin's approach alone makes it a worthwhile investment.

"Her mother took out a loan from me to do renovations, and I also gave them a new recipe for marinating fried food, so they didn't need to invest any more money."

They're only suited for small-scale projects. If they're truly talented, we'll have plenty of opportunities in the future.

Ichiro Takayanagi rejected Sonoko Suzuki's suggestion.

Although it's clear from my conversation with Katsura Nami that Katsura Nami is a truly capable person.

However, since Katsura Nami doesn't want to change things now, Takayanagi Ichiro won't take the initiative to make any changes for her family either.

Katsura Nami's previous thank-you gift was simply because Takayanagi Ichiro lent her money for financial support.

In terms of personal impression, it's not as good as Guixin's service just now.

Let's wait until everyone understands them better before gradually making changes; for now, let's leave it as it is.

"Well, anyway, I think Ichiro-nii definitely knows more about them than we do."

Furthermore, even if they want to invest in the future, they can always come to Ichiro-nii, since he can play with them.

The three high school girls already knew the source of the milky scent on Takayanagi Ichiro's body.

They would never object to this kind of play, since they knew that Ichiro Takayanagi would definitely have a limit and wouldn't go so far as to commit a crime.

"Sister Sonoko, you can play games with Big Brother too."

My sister Xiaolan and I are going upstairs, so you can have this space.

At this moment, Kaoru Takayanagi smiled and said to Sonoko Suzuki.

Ran Mouri has only lived here for three years in name only, but Kaoru Takayanagi can be with Ichiro Takayanagi forever.

Therefore, it's perfectly fine to give up a little more time at such times; it will even make people think you're a generous person.

"Go ahead and play, but if your milky scent is too strong, it's not good when you're talking about loans with people, so I'm here to help clean it up."

Seeing that Suzuki Sonoko was actually about to kneel before Takayanagi Ichiro, Takayanagi Mitsuka quickly led Mouri Ran and Takayanagi Kaoru away from the office.

Although all the girls in the family had had in-depth and superficial conversations with Ichiro Takayanagi, Sonoko Suzuki had only fulfilled this long-cherished wish yesterday, so it's normal for her to have developed a taste for it.

After the three left, Ichiro Takayanagi forcefully pulled Sonoko Suzuki up.

"Sonoko, you don't need to demean yourself like this at all."

"I just wanted to make you comfortable, Brother Ichiro. Besides, what I said earlier makes a lot of sense. If there is an odor when we are doing business, it will have a significant impact."

"I'll just wash up when the time comes. At this point, there's basically no one coming to discuss business anymore."

"Then I want to shower with you, Brother Ichiro."

"it is good!"

Chapter 210 Kotoha: Be careful, you've betrayed me?

Gui family.

"I am back."

Gui Xin, the little girl, returned home carrying a small bag of snacks.

Because the store is currently under renovation, Katsura Manami can take a longer break.

Meanwhile, her older sister, Katsura Kotonoha, had returned home, and now both eyes were on her.

"Careful, you should have been back by now. Why are you so late?" Katsura Manami looked at her daughter with a serious expression.

There isn't a strict curfew at home, but you should have communicated with Katsura Manami beforehand about what she did.

Today, Katsura Shin didn't tell Katsura Manami, nor did she tell her older sister Katsura Kotonoha.

"Mom, I just went to Ichiro's place with my good friend Xiaozhi, that's why I didn't tell you."

After saying that, she immediately ran over to Katsura Kotonoha and Katsura Manami, holding up the snacks in her hand and saying:

"These are what Ichiro brought back for me. I didn't eat them on the way back because I wanted to bring them back to share with Mom and my sister."

“Good boy, although it is very safe with Mr. Takayanagi, you should still tell us.”

The youngest daughter was very sensible; after finding out where she had gone that day, Katsura Manami decided not to pursue the matter further.

However, Katsura Kotonoha was different; she wasn't easily swayed by snacks.

"Be careful, you should tell your friend Xiaozhi about this."

Judging from how eager you are to show off, Xiao Zhi's identity must be somewhat extraordinary.

When facing her own family, Katsura Kotonoha is the kind of person who is very tough.

"Sister, you're starting to look like a famous detective."

Gui Xin pretended to be defeated.

"Be careful, who exactly is Xiaozhi? Could he be a boy from your school?" Katsura Manami was also a little nervous.

My eldest daughter is currently a high school girl, but she has never been in a relationship because she has androphobia.

My youngest daughter is still young; she's still in elementary school.

I need to stop them from dating so early, otherwise it will cause big problems later.

“Mom, Xiaozhi is a girl just like me. I will not play with the boys at school. They are really too childish.”

When she heard that it was a girl, Katsura Manami breathed a sigh of relief, but Katsura Kotonoha still didn't let her go.

"What's your friend's name? The kind that includes the surname."

This request made Katsura Manami feel a little strange. Could the other party really be some kind of heinous person?

Even though my youngest daughter is only a primary school student, she should have the ability to distinguish right from wrong and would never have anything to do with that kind of person.

"Itou Shi."

Katsura Manami felt the surname was somewhat familiar, while Katsura Kotonoha simply stood up from her seat.

"Your sister was secretly photographed by Makoto Ito on the train, and you're dating Itsuki Ito. You're such a good sister to me."

"Ito Tomo, is she the younger sister of that Ito Makoto?"

After hearing her eldest daughter's words, Katsura Manami understood why the surname Ito felt familiar.

The person who secretly filmed Katsura Kotonoha on the train is named Ito Makoto, and it seems that his mother, Ito Moeko, and Takayanagi Ichiro are related.

It's no wonder Katsura Kotonoha would say "good little sister" when her own youngest daughter becomes friends with the other person's daughter.

“Sister, Xiaozhi is different from her older brother, and now her older brother has run away from home.”

At this moment, Guixin quickly explained that she liked her good friend Ito Itsuki, after all, he could take her to experience some different things, such as the yogurt at Takayanagi Ichiro's place.

However, Katsura Shin also loves her older sister very much and doesn't want her sister Katsura Kotonoha to misunderstand her.

"Kotoha, you should have more faith in your sister."

At this moment, Katsura Manami sided with Katsura Shin, pulled Katsura Shin to sit next to her, and asked her:

“Be careful, tell us about your relationship with Ito Tomo, and also about Ito Makoto running away from home…”

"Okay, here's what happened..."

Katsura Kotonoha was sitting next to Katsura Kokoro as she spoke.

She doesn't hold a grudge against her younger sister; she's just curious about the relationship between Katsura and Itō.

"Xiao Zhi thought her brother was disgusting. After being exposed by her older brother Ichiro, her brother and that man left the Ito family."

So today, Xiaozhi asked me to take her to see Brother Ichiro to express her gratitude. We ate special yogurt and these delicious snacks there.

After listening to the story, Katsura Manami nodded.

"Kotoha, I think there's nothing wrong with your sister being friends with Ito Itsuki, because she's a reasonable person."

If Itō Itsuki did something wrong, Katsura Manami would definitely not allow her daughter Katsura Shin to continue being friends with her.

However, it seems that Itō Itsuki is a good friend who can lead Katsura Shin to do some good things, which Katsura Kotonoha and Katsura Manami cannot do, since their lives only intersect at home and in the shop.

Katsura Manami would be quite happy to have another person like this at school.

“I didn’t mean to blame Xiaoxin, I just wanted her to remind her friend to be careful not to let Ito Makoto come back.”

At this point, Katsura Kotonoha thought of Saionji Sekai and Kiyoura Setsuna, who had asked her for help at school earlier that day.

They also wanted to get Takayanagi Ichiro's address from them so they could go and thank him in person.

Takayanagi Ichiro is truly a person who loves to help others, whether it's his own family or Saionji Sekai and others.

Moreover, even elementary school students like Itō Itsuki would go to his house to express their gratitude because Takayanagi Ichiro exposed her brother's true colors, allowing the family conflicts to be brought to the fore sooner.

"I understand. I'll mention it to Xiaozhi when I go to school tomorrow. For now, let's eat the snacks I brought back from Ichiro's place."

"We can eat more because we've grown up. But be careful, you can only eat a little bit, because you might get cavities."
