Boyman family, Chiba City residence.

Although it was just a residence where the patriarch of the Boyman family settled in Chiba City, it was decorated magnificently and was extremely grand.

At this time, classical music was playing in the mansion, and maids and waiters dressed neatly and gorgeously were moving between the dining tables, offering service to the political and business celebrities present.

The current head of the Boyman family is in the limelight, and has made a name for himself at a young age, and is well-known in politics and business. Even though he came to Chiba to hold a banquet without any good business projects, many celebrities in Chiba attended the banquet.

Yukinoshita Haruno of the Yukinoshita family is naturally no exception. Even if she herself does not want to participate, as the daughter of a congressman, she needs to understand the situation in the circle, so as to avoid being targeted by others one day.

She followed her mother to this upper-class gathering, and while she greeted the socialites she knew with a bright and sunny smile, she secretly observed the celebrities who were gathered in small circles and talking in low voices.

The upper class sounds very high-end, but in fact it is just a small circle divided according to financial resources, fame, influence, etc.

If we only talk about the financial strength of the congressman’s family, not to mention the chaebols that monopolize industries and control the national economic lifeline, there are many large groups in Chiba alone that can reach the level of the Yukinoshita family.

However, the Yukinoshita family has a member of parliament, and in terms of social visibility and public influence, it is stronger than many local large groups, although this influence is much smaller outside Chiba.

Hmm… I didn’t see anyone from the Tōsaka family… The Ichinose family didn’t come today either…

“Yang No.”

Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly heard someone calling her name from behind. She turned around and saw a pure and dignified young lady with long black hair. Her white round-neck lace dress was held up by her plump curves, and her quiet eyes revealed a hint of melancholy.

“Dong Xiang, long time no see~”

When Yukinoshita Haruno saw who was coming, she immediately opened her arms and hugged the other person tightly. Even when she saw a slightly resistant look on the other person’s face, she did not let go. Instead, she smiled and hugged him even tighter.

The girl with long black hair is named Tousaka Touka. She is the eldest daughter of the Tousaka family. She is about the same age as her and is also her good friend.

Well… because their situations are somewhat similar, their friendship is deeper than ordinary social friendships.

“You two can chat here, Touka. Mrs. Yukinoshita and I will go to the other side to discuss something.”

Mrs. Toosaka, who arrived with Touka Toosaka, had a dignified appearance and a gentle and mellow temperament. When she saw her daughter and Yukinoshita Haruno playing together, a gentle smile appeared on her face. After giving some instructions, she went somewhere else to discuss something with Mrs. Yukinoshita.

“Yes, mother.”

Looking at the departing figures of her mother and the graceful Mrs. Yukinoshita, Tousaka Touka quickly nodded in response.

Yukinoshita Haruno was also warned by her mother, but she couldn’t help but chuckle when she saw how Tousaka Touka and Mrs. Tousaka were getting along.

Many times, she felt that the pure and dignified, loyal and lovely Tousaka Touka was another Yukino in the world, and Mrs. Tousaka was her mother.

Although Touka is a little older than her, Yukino doesn’t have as good a figure as Touka.

But if Yukinoshita was not in the family and there was only Yukino, maybe Yukino would really grow up to be like Touka.

“Touka, I heard that you are planning to fulfill your previous engagement with the Yingfeng family. Have you really thought it through? Should you try to get the Yingfeng family to marry someone else? Once you get married, it will be irreversible.”

Yukinoshita Haruno took Tousaka Touka to a more secluded place, and then asked her about the marriage between her and the Takamine family.

The Tousaka family once had a fortune even larger than that of the Yukinoshita family, but because the head of the family died suddenly and the Tousaka family had no useful heirs, the entire family lost its direction and its fortune was gradually squandered.

At this time, it is said that the head of the Takamine family, who was once on good terms with the head of the Tousaka family, appeared and helped the Tousaka family overcome the difficulties.

However, as a condition, the Takamine family also used this opportunity to arrange a marriage between the eldest daughter of the Tosaka family and the third man of the Takamine family.

Anyone can see that the Takamine family wants to encroach on and annex the Tohsaka family. However, it is true that the other party helped the Tohsaka family, so Yukinoshita Haruno can’t say much.

But the third son of the Takamine family is a useless person who can do nothing despite being in a big family. If she marries such a man, she is worried that Tousaka Touka will be bullied in the Takamine family.

Dong Xiang is so outstanding, she should find someone better for marriage, why does she have to marry that loser?

“I’ve thought about it. It doesn’t matter who I marry. As long as my mother can be free from suffering, that’s enough.”

However, Tousaka Touka just looked up and stared at the night sky, with a somewhat melancholy look on her face.

In fact, to her, it didn’t matter who she married from the Yingfeng family, since they were all strangers whom she had no feelings for and had only met a few times.

The marriage with the Takamine family was just to fulfill the Takamine family’s promise to help the Tousaka family overcome difficulties.

After fulfilling her promise, she should be able to slowly take over the burden of being a mother.

Because his father died early, his mother, who had always been gentle and virtuous, had to take over the burden of the family.

She often saw her mother working hard to maintain the family business, and her two younger sisters were still young. She was the only one in the family who could help her mother share the pressure and rescue her from suffering with her own hands.

“If you really want to help your mother, you should choose a strong marriage. You have a strong character and you want to help your mother with your own efforts, but if you choose to marry, then you will give up the resources of the Yingfeng family. Isn’t that a free ride? The Yingfeng family doesn’t have any good intentions towards your family.”

Seeing Toosaka Touka’s indifferent yet stubborn look, Yukinoshita Haruno couldn’t help but feel helpless and disappointed.

Touka’s personality is exactly the same as her sister Yukino.

Perhaps it is because Touka and her sister Yukino are so similar that she would take the initiative to deal with the cold Touka, and even have such a good relationship with her in private.

However, all she could do was give some advice to Touka Toosaka and she couldn’t provide any substantial help.

She couldn’t even control her own destiny, let alone help others break free from the shackles of their family.

After all, the Tousaka family only has three daughters. Once they consider marriage, they will be slowly swallowed up by the other big family, unless they can find a very capable husband to marry into the family, so that the Tousaka family can still keep the family business.

“Don’t worry about me, Yang.”

Looking at Yukinoshita Haruno who was very worried about her, Toosaka Touka felt a little warm in her heart and comforted her in a soft voice.

“Although I am not familiar with the three men of the Yingfeng family, I have met them a few times. Compared with the eldest lady of the Liulizhen family who was sniped by the Boyman family and had to surrender, I think they are pretty good.”

“Liulijin’s family…”

Yukinoshita Haruno was a little confused as to why Tousaka Touka was still paying attention to the affairs of the Rurijin family and the Boyman family, but following Tousaka Touka’s gaze, she soon saw the eldest lady of the Rurijin family in the crowd.

Liuli Chunchun has brown-black shoulder-length hair, delicate facial features, a slender waist, and a noble and cool temperament.

“It seems that the Liulijin family can no longer hold on. I wonder if the Boyman family will restrain themselves after dealing with the Liulijin family.”

Yukinoshita Haruno looked at Ruri Tsubaki who appeared here with an expressionless face and couldn’t help but sigh softly.

The circle of the rich and powerful is very small. Yukinoshita Haruno doesn’t know much about Tokyo, but she knows basically all the celebrities who are slightly active in Chiba.

As a family of the former aristocracy, she had naturally heard of the now declining Rurijin family. The eldest daughter Rurijin Tsubaki was also studying at Sobu High School, and seemed to be the vice president of the student union.

In fact, the situation of the Rurijin family is very similar to that of the Tosaka family. However, no one helps the Rurijin family to overcome the difficulties. It even seems that they are being targeted by the Boyman family for some reason and are on the verge of bankruptcy.

Now the only heir of the Liuliyan family appeared at the Boyman family’s party. Is he ready to give in to the Boyman family?

Yukinoshita Haruno was in deep thought, but there was not much surprise in her eyes.

If the Boyman family, which is currently in the limelight, really wanted to kill the Liulicing family, which had long been in decline, the Liulicing family would have been gone long ago. The reason why they have been able to hold on for so long may be that they were forcing the Liulicing family to surrender voluntarily.

After all, if they really force the other party to be destroyed, then wherever the Boymans expand in the future, the local people may unite to resist the Boymans.

“Liulichen was called away.”

Tousaka Touka couldn’t help but sigh as she watched Ruri Tsubaki being taken deep into the mansion by a maid from the Boyman family.

If she did not fulfill her previous engagement, she would probably end up like the Liulizhen family, attacked by the angry Yingfeng family using all their resources and connections.

Although the Takamine family is not as powerful as the Boyman family, their Tousaka family is not strong either.

In order not to let my mother’s hard work go to waste, in order not to make her sad…

She has to protect the Tosaka family’s property…

“Touka…”

Seeing this, Yukinoshita Haruno could only shake her head secretly. Touka’s personality is very similar to Yukino’s, but in terms of situation, she is most similar to her.

Probably, when she gets older, she will have to consider marriage.

Unless she can find someone she likes and is capable enough, she will have to face a husband who is almost a stranger like Dong Xiang.

But luckily, she is in charge of the family’s marriage arrangement, so Yukino doesn’t have to face all these pressures, otherwise Yukino would show the same fragile expression as Touka.

………………………………………….

“Miss Liu Lizhen, Patriarch Boyman wants to see you. Please follow me.”

“Well, lead the way. Ziyin, wait for me here.”

“Yes, miss.”

After saying something to her maid Ziyin, Liuli Chunchun left the bustling crowd and followed the maid, heading towards the place where the head of the Boyman family was with a gloomy face.

Tomorrow is the deadline given by the Boyman family, but they say tomorrow. If she doesn’t come to the Boyman family gathering tonight, the Liulizhen family will probably suffer greater losses tomorrow, forcing her to make the “correct” choice.

She thought about it for a long time today, and also looked for many of her former connections to try, but after the family’s decline, the former connections were no longer connections, and she ultimately failed to find a way to solve the family’s current predicament.

The Liulizhen family is too weak and cannot even offer enough compensation to ask for help. After all, helping the Liulizhen family means facing attacks from the Boyman family. Without sufficient benefits, people will not take risks.

“Miss Liu Lizhen, we’re here. The master is in the study.”

The maid suddenly stopped, bowed to Liuli Chunchun, looked at her sympathetically, turned around and left.

The maids who serve him every day have also heard about the Boyman family’s strategy to suppress the Liulichen family. Although the outside world is talking about the plan to seize the large piece of land and Ziwan owned by the Liulichen family, they think that the Boyman family is doing it for Liulichenchun, the daughter of a wealthy family.

“……”

Liuli Chunchun looked at the maid walking away, then turned back to look at the closed door, took a deep breath, and then slowly pushed the door open.

Now that things have come to this, there is no point in thinking any more.

It would be better to bow to the Boyman family as soon as possible and let them stop as soon as possible.

Liuli Chenchun still had the awareness of sacrificing herself for the family.

However, Liuli Chunchun, who had made up her mind, just entered the study, but found the scene in the room shocked her greatly.

A tall man was lying on the carpet in the study with his arms and legs prostrated. If she remembered correctly, this man should be the head of the Boyman family who ordered the sniping attack on her family.

However, on the chair where the head of the Boyman family should have been sitting, there was a petite silver-haired girl sitting instead.

“this……”

Liuli Jingchun stared blankly at this extremely strange scene.

Is this some kind of prank? Or is it a test of her ability to handle emergencies like this?

She thought that the head of the Boyman family had some thoughts about her, but now she has no idea what is going on.

“You are very familiar with Hikigaya Hachiman, right? Ask him to come over here. As a reward, I will help you deal with this guy on the ground and make him afraid to cause trouble to you.”

The silver-haired little girl with her legs crossed on the desk looked at Liuli Chun who walked into the room. Suddenly she put down her legs, walked to Liuli Chun and said with a smile.

“Hikigaya-kun?”

Liuli Chunchun was even more confused. She must have heard it wrong. Was this little girl looking for Kaede’s childhood sweetheart, Hikigaya Hachiman?

But how could Hikigaya Hachiman be related to the people of the Boyman family? Isn’t he an ordinary person?

At this time, as the silver-haired little girl approached, Liuli Jingchun found that the other party seemed somewhat familiar.

A petite figure, messy silver-gray long hair, two horns that extend out of the hair, and a tail swaying behind her…

“You, you are Ursula?”

Liuli Jingchun looked at the petite silver-haired girl who walked up to her with great surprise.

Ursula Ya Zleda, a transfer student from the Dragon Clan.

As the vice president, Liuli Jinchun was also deeply impressed by the several transfer students from other worlds who transferred to Sobu High School. He just didn’t notice them because the study door was a little far away, but now when he saw this obvious feature, he immediately recognized them.

Seeing that Liuli Jingchun recognized her, the dragon girl Urusila licked her lips with her pink tongue and urged Liuli Jingchun.

“It’s good that you know my identity. Hurry up and call Hikigaya Hachiman to come over. I have something very important to discuss with him.”
