383·“ No one but you can save the decaying family. ”
Takahashi Yiren looked back at the clansmen of the Takahashi family, his eyes were sharp, revealing undoubted majesty and domineering,
"I brought him today, and I see who dares to let him go."
The family elders all looked at Takahashi in surprise, and Takahashi's peers also showed confusion and anger on their faces, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Yulan Takahashi stood up and said solemnly,
"Kuraki-kun has helped me a lot before, please don't continue to misunderstand him, the person who comes is a guest, our Takahashi family shouldn't treat him like this."
"Shut up, it's not your turn to speak here."
Kozaburo Takahashi scolded.
Kenichi Takahashi tugged at Yuran Takahashi's sleeve and motioned for her not to continue.
Tomohiro Takahashi, who has been playing soy sauce all the time, did not stand on the side of his sister Yulan Takahashi this time, although he doesn't like to take care of family affairs and likes a carefree life abroad, but he still has a sense of family honor, and thinks that Yulan Takahashi should not find a private detective to investigate his own affairs, and expose them all.
"Uncle Takahashi, we need your explanation."
He looked at Takahashi and said.
Takahashi patted Shirakawa on the shoulder and introduced,
"Let me introduce you, this is Takahashi Shirakawa."
"Takahashi? Shirakawa?? ”
Everyone was stunned, including Yuran Takahashi.
"How could he be surnamed Takahashi?"
"Takahashi Yiren, what are you kidding?"
"Can the clan elders fool around at will?"
"How dare he call Takahashi Shirakawa?"
"Takahashi Yiren, please be serious."
The participants discussed a lot, and the four people of the younger generation also looked at each other.
"It's Uncle Takahashi's illegitimate son, right?"
Mirei Takahashi whispered.
Tomohiro Takahashi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, it didn't matter if he suddenly had a young brother, but this younger brother was still the culprit who discredited their family.
Could it be that he wants to form a sleeping dragon and phoenix chick with Takahashi Yuran? Do you specialize in blacking your own family?
"Even if it's an illegitimate child, you can't just bring it to the family meeting, and you don't see who is here, is he qualified?"
Young Kenichi Takahashi complained.
"When did our family meeting turn into a gathering of bastards?"
Koshiro Takahashi said, and most of them let out a mocking sound.
"Yes, will the family meeting be changed to the bastard meeting in the future?"
"Bastard children should be low-key, why come out and be embarrassed."
"Besides, this illegitimate child has ruined the glory of our family, and we will not accept him."
"Takahashi is pleasant, take him away."
Listening to the clansmen's discussions, Takahashi Yiren frowned,
"Ahem."
Takahashi coughed twice and said seriously,
"Not long ago, he was the one who joined the Elysium Club again on behalf of our Takahashi family."
The cacophony of chatter came to an abrupt halt after the words were spoken, and the room became audible with pins dropping.
A moment later, a new round of discussion erupted.
"How is that possible? We've applied so many times before and we've been turned away by the club. ”
"How could the Elysium Club accept him?"
"Why is this bastard?"
"Absolutely impossible, even the previous generation of family heads were rejected."
Yuran Takahashi looked at Shirakawa in disbelief and asked in a low voice, "Kuraki-kun, is this true?" ”
But her voice was drowned out by the chatter of many uncles.
Shirakawa didn't hear clearly, just looked at her suspiciously.
Bang bang –
Takahashi, the current oldest person in the Takahashi family, knocked on his crutches and scolded,
"Be quiet."
The clansmen stopped talking and looked at the family elder Takahashi Aiichi.
Takahashi Chaoichi looked at Takahashi Pleasantly seriously,
"I know you're not going to joke about that, I just want to know how he got into the Club of Elysium now!"
Takahashi Chaoichi's words undoubtedly admit the fact that Shirakawa joined the Elysium Club, and even the youngest person in the family knows what it means to join the Elysium Club, even if the family is in decline, it can return to the top with the power of the Elysium Club, or even surpass the peak.
If Kuraki Shirakawa really joined the Elysium Club, not to mention that he had only helped Takahashi Yuran investigate Takahashi's affairs before, even if he had done more excessive things before, the grudge with the Takahashi family would be deeper and could be resolved.
Takahashi walked up to the old man, bent down, leaned into the old man's ear and whispered something.
A hint of fear welled up in the old man's eyes.
He nodded heavily, finally understanding why Takahashi had brought Kuraki Shirakawa here.
"Well, in that case, sit down."
The old man instructed the servant to add two new high-backed chairs, and both of them were placed on his right, and the closer to the old man's position, the higher the status of the family.
Even Takeken Takahashi and Katsutaro Takahashi had to move their positions.
The juniors of the Takahashi family were even more shocked, and they didn't know what Takahashi said to the old man, who was willing to let them sit beside him.
This is equivalent to acknowledging the identity of Kuraki Shirakawa.
Just now, they were still laughing at Bai Chuan for being an illegitimate child who was not in the stream, but now they only felt hot on their faces.
"Although Takahashi Shirakawa did do a lot of things that were detrimental to the interests of the family before, there was a reason for this, he was to help the girl Yulan, and now, Shirakawa can return to our family, we should welcome him."
The old man Takahashi has no children and no daughters, and he hates illegitimate children the most in his life, but he is also the most just, and when he applauds, everyone applauds and welcomes Shirakawa.
Bai Chuan bowed slightly to everyone, "Thank you, elders." ”
Katsutaro Takahashi was a little surprised, and he was also curious about what the old man had heard, which could make his attitude change 180 degrees.
"Pleasant, next to you."
Takahashi Aiichi looked at Takahashi pleasantly.
Takahashi Yiren picked up the freshly brewed tea on the table and said slowly,
"We visited the Akagi family, and the head of the Akagi family has promised to help Shirakawa, and with these two points alone, the family can't do without him."
The crowd was shocked again.
The Akagi family and the Takahashi family used to be good friends for generations, but with the defeat of the Takahashi family, the relationship between the two families gradually drifted apart, and there was little contact, and now Chihiro Akagi is willing to help Shirakawa, which once again proves Shirakawa's ability.
Takahashi's relationship with Shirakawa was the best among all of you, and even she didn't expect things to turn out like this.
She had very mixed feelings.
Because she was able to sit here today, it cost a great deal to her, and she worked hard for a long time to have a place in the family meeting.
In fact, she asked Shirakawa to investigate Misty Island, on the one hand, it was indeed to investigate her brother's death, and on the other hand, it was for the family's secrets.
After getting the secret, she chose to take a risky move, with the help of disclosing this secret, so that the already defeated family returned to the attention of everyone, and at the same time showed her attitude, becoming the only positive image representative of the Takahashi family, killing relatives in righteousness, finding out the criminal history of other people in the family, and sending them to the traffic police station, whether in public opinion or social influence, Takahashi Yulan has become the most concerned person in the new generation of the Takahashi family.
She stepped on the interests of most of the Takahashi family and became a figure on the cusp, and thus won the affirmation of the family elders, allowing her to participate in the family meeting and becoming the only female speaker.
In this process, she must accept the endless abuse and criticism of her people, even if she does a little wrong, it will be infinitely magnified.
But she did it for a reason.
She wants to become the real ruler of the Takahashi family, which is very difficult in the Takahashi family, which is originally inferior to men.
She harmed the interests of the family in exchange for long-term interests, and also violated the family's creed and family honor.
The Takahashi family regards family honor as more important than life, even Takahashi Kita and Takahashi Nagakei, who were born with a perverted fetish, have fought for the honor and career of the family.
A woman who rises to the top by throwing away her family honor, even if she is excellent, it is difficult for her to really gain the support of the clan elders.
Therefore, Takahashi Yulan also had to curry favor with these family elders, try not to disobey them, and even agreed to marry someone he didn't like.
Her purpose is clear, that is, the position of the head of the family.
Takahashi Zhiyang will not compete with her, he does not have the ability to compete with her, the purpose of his return to China this time is to give up the identity of the heir, as for Takahashi Yuran or Takahashi Kenichi, this is up to the clan elders to decide.
Takahashi Kenichi is a strong rival of Takahashi Yuran, he has been helping his brother and uncles take care of the family business, plus he is very obedient, he has never done anything to disgrace the family, even if his ability is average, but he is also loved by the elders, and the most important thing is that he is a man.
Mirei Takahashi and Yuran Takahashi have the same problem, she is a woman, and she is also a married woman, so she has been directly excluded from the heir.
So, in fact, Yulan Takahashi is confident that he can defeat Kenichi Takahashi, but now it's different.
Kuraki Shirakawa stepped in sideways, not only did he get the support of Takahashi Yiren, but also the Akagi family and the Bliss Club behind him, plus this person himself was very smart, Takahashi Yuran only felt that his position as the head of the family suddenly became distant.
Before Kuraki Shirakawa didn't intervene in her family's internal affairs, the two could be friends, but now, Kuraki Shirakawa has become the biggest obstacle in front of her, preventing her from sitting in the position of the new head of the family.
Yuran Takahashi tried not to show the dissatisfaction in her heart, and still smiled at Shirakawa.
However, Shirakawa saw mixed emotions in her eyes.
"You came at the right time today, Zhiyang has decided to settle abroad, and he doesn't plan to return to China in the future, and wants to give up his identity as an heir, which is also the theme of today's meeting."
Katsutaro Takahashi said.
Shirakawa was slightly stunned, he finally understood why Yuran Takahashi was unhappy.
It turned out that it was because of her own appearance that it affected her "career".
"Hmm."
Takahashi nodded pleasantly.
Kozaburo Takahashi spoke on behalf of the six elders of the family,
"Zhiyang, have you really decided?"
"Yes, I am really not suitable to be the head of the house, and I don't have the confidence to do a good job, I just want to live abroad with my wife, I'm sorry, I have failed to live up to the high expectations of your elders."
Tomohiro Takahashi was born intelligent, but he was not interested in dealing with family affairs at all, and now he has opened a research institute abroad, specializing in scientific research, and marries and has children, and has no nostalgia for family affairs.
"Well, in that case, then we respect your wishes, and now there are a total of three people who can participate in the election of the heir, Kenichi Takahashi, Yuran Takahashi, and Shirakawa Takahashi."
The reason why Takahashi Kozaburo put Shirakawa in it was because he liked the forces behind him, and secondly, he felt that he chose this point in time to return to the family because he had thoughts about the position of the head of the family.
The Takahashi family believes that the future will always be in the hands of young people, and the previous heads of the family will only choose among the youngest generation, who will not be more than 20 years old, and the youngest family head will only be 14 years old, and they will generally be the head of the house for 10 to 30 years, and then pass on the position.
"Next, let the three competitors each announce their plans for the future of the Takahashi family."
Kozaburo Takahashi looked at Yuran Takahashi and Kenichi Takahashi, and finally set his eyes on Shirakawa, who was sitting next to Takahashi.
"Everyone, I'm very sorry, but I'm not interested in being the head of the house."
Shirakawa said.
Takahashi Aiichi frowned and looked at the handsome-looking young man dissatisfied, "You say it again." ”
"I'm not interested in the position of the head of the family, you can choose whoever you want, it has nothing to do with me, I'm here just to give Uncle Yiren face."
Shirakawa called Uncle Takahashi Pleasant, but did not call him Dad, and his disdainful attitude towards the position of head of the family caused the people around him to talk about it again.
"What do you mean? Is it because of the Akagi family behind him, so he can't look down on our Takahashi family? ”
Koshiro Takahashi scolded.
"It's really big, and I'm not interested in the position of the head of the family at all, so give up your position as a member of the Elysium Club!"
"Is this a demonstration? Trying to embarrass us. ”
In the face of their doubts and discussions, Shirakawa still maintained a calm expression.
Takahashi Yiren picked up the teacup and slowly spoke,
"Our Takahashi family really can't get the bargaining chips now, let Shirakawa look at it, don't you still live in unrealistic fantasies, and always feel that you are an unattainable nobleman."
Yuran Takahashi also stood up, looking at Shirakawa with a little anger in his eyes,
"Shirakawa, please don't joke, don't trample the dignity of the Takahashi family under your feet, since you are qualified to compete to be a family, don't say such irresponsible words, I'm sorry for the blood flowing in your body, and I'm sorry for Uncle Yiren's hard work."
Shirakawa frowned slightly.
Is this woman nervous?
Oh, is it because I feel that what I want is worthless in my eyes, so my heart is unbalanced?
After Shirakawa figured this out, he said to Takahashi Yiren,
"Uncle Yiren, I don't mean to look down on the Takahashi family, I just don't think I have the ability to control a family yet."
"I understand that you are a responsible person, once you decide to do something, you will definitely do it well, and it is in this way that I hope you can become the future head of the Takahashi family."
Takahashi looked at Shirakawa seriously, "No one can save the decaying family except you. ”
