The Chiba Hotel was the best hotel in Chiba Prefecture. It was a high-end hotel with high prices. Even in Tokyo, it would be a second-rate hotel. It was a common hotel for the upper-class people in Chiba Prefecture, but tonight it was booked by the Yukinoshita family.
There were various series of high-end cars parked at the entrance of the hotel, and guests wearing suits and gowns entered one after another. When it was almost seven o 'clock, a black car stopped. In it were two young and beautiful girls, and a young woman who looked to be around 30 years old.
"Hey, Yukinoshita."
Just as Yukinoshita and Megumi Kato walked into the hotel, in the hall in front of them, a beautiful woman in a white dress who was leaning against a pillar raised her hand and greeted them with a smile. Her smile was friendly, but it looked strange.
Yukinoshita glanced at her and was unmoved.
But Megumi Kato bowed slightly and said, "Hello, Ms. Yōko."
"My sister is still so cold." The beautiful woman in white walked up and teased Yukinoshita with a faint smile. Then she looked at Megumi Kato and said with a smile, "Kato, you are dressed well. Did Yukinoshita choose a dress for you? You have good taste."
"Thank you for the compliment, Ms. Yōko."
"Don't be so polite. You are Yukinoshita's friend, so you are also my friend. Just call me Yōko."
"Okay, Yōko." Megumi Kato nodded. She felt like she was going with the flow, but she was a little vigilant in her heart.
Yōko Yukinoshita, a young woman with a sunny appearance, looked very similar to Yukinoshita. She was Yukinoshita's sister. Because she often went to social events, she was more sophisticated in dealing with people than Yukinoshita, who was like a hedgehog. She was a perfect superwoman who was more powerful than Yukinoshita.
In the original "Spring Things", this woman often said things that people couldn't understand, and she was good at messing up the peaceful atmosphere. Every word seemed to have a hidden meaning, but it also seemed as if she could see into the depths of other people's hearts, and with a seemingly indifferent attitude, she directly hit the core. She was the number one shit stirrer in the world.
Before coming to Yukinoshita's house, Megumi Kato had heard about Yukinoshita's older sister, but she didn't know much about her. After meeting her in person, Megumi Kato sympathized with Yukinoshita.
There were three women in Xue Xia's family. One was an extremely powerful mother, and the other was Yang Nai, who was like a perfect superman. Although Xue Nai was known as a top student in school and was an existence that made people jealous in all aspects, compared to these two, she was like a rabbit that had just learned to walk in front of a tiger and a poisonous snake.
Even in Megumi Kato's eyes, Yang Na was a difficult character to deal with. It was no wonder that Yukina felt inferior.
Of course, Yang Nai didn't have any evil intentions towards Yukinoshita. After all, they were blood-related sisters, and there was no melodramatic plot like fighting over the family property. It was just that she would tease people from time to time, and it was completely impossible to guess her intentions. It was only natural that Yukinoshita would stay away from her.
It was probably that kind of twisted love.
As for Megumi Kato, although she was vigilant, she didn't treat Yang Nai as an enemy. She could be strong, she could be strong, and she could be confused, but Yang Nai smiled lightly, like a light breeze caressing her face, unmoving.
After chatting with Megumi Kato for a while, Yang Nai's gaze returned to Yukinoshita. She smiled and said, "But speaking of which, I thought that you would run away. The situation this time is somewhat disadvantageous for you, Yukinoshita."
"You're thinking too much. It's just an ordinary gathering."
"Is that so?" Yang Nai smiled noncommittally, with an expression that said 'I know but I won't say it out loud'.
Yukinoshita frowned and remained silent.
She was completely suppressed.
At the side, Megumi Kato felt a little helpless, not because of the incident itself, but because of the atmosphere when the two sisters interacted with each other. The feelings of the two sisters belonged to the more complicated category. One was black-bellied and sly, and her attitude was unclear, while the other was introverted and cold, proud and self-abased. At the same time, the two of them were quite smart, and they always wore masks when they communicated. Sincerity and hypocrisy could not be seen through with just a few words, so they often made a simple matter complicated and confusing.
'How should I put it?
'Two lunatics!'
Megumi Kato could see through everything, but because she was a bystander, it was not convenient for her to intervene. Therefore, she was hoping that Tang Hao would arrive earlier so that she could suppress the two lunatics with brute force. However, this did not go according to plan. If Tang Hao arrived earlier, the effect of the program would not be good, and it would not be good.
Therefore, she decided to do nothing and watch the two sisters quarrel.
Fortunately, they did not quarrel for too long. Soon, Yukinoshita's mother, who was dressed in a kimono, entered. She glanced at the hall and said, "Yang Nai, why are you outside? Is everyone here? "
Facing his tiger-like mother, Yang Nai did not dare to be too presumptuous. He immediately gave up on teasing Yukinoshita and said seriously, "Almost everyone is here, but the main person is not here yet."
The main person was, of course, Yukinoshita's blind date. He came from a top aristocratic family and was the highlight of this gathering. Obviously, it was impossible for him to enter early, so it was normal for him to be a little late.
Yukinoshita's mother nodded in agreement. As she led the crowd forward, she reminded Yukinoshita, "The guest coming later is the heir of the Ito Financial Group. The Ito Financial Group has some business dealings with your father. When the time comes, you will be the host. Don't be impolite, understand?"
"Okay." Yukinoshita nodded expressionlessly.
She had already made up her mind. If the other party didn't like her, then nothing would happen. If he really wanted to forcefully matchmake them, she would try her best to find an opportunity to tactfully reject him. Under the premise that it wouldn't affect the relationship between the two families, she would make some time for herself … She only needed two or three years.
Yukinoshita's mother glanced at her. She could see that her daughter was a little unwilling, but this was related to the development of the family. She could not let her daughter do whatever she wanted. Besides, this gathering was just for the two parties to get to know each other.
A moment later, the group arrived at the banquet hall. Many people had already gathered here, and they were basically the upper class of Chiba Prefecture. Although Yukinoshita's family was mainly in contact with the rich and powerful families from Tokyo, this kind of banquet was generally an occasion to discuss business. It was impossible for there to be only two families. In the luxurious banquet hall, Yukinoshita's father was entertaining the guests who came one after another.
The people from the Ito family had not arrived yet, so there was nothing for Yukinoshita to do for the time being. After a simple greeting, she and Megumi Kato went to the corner of the banquet hall, as if they were not involved.
Yang Nai, on the other hand, was very used to this kind of occasion. He shuttled through the guests and greeted everyone with a smile. He looked like he was a man of wealth and power.
"Your sister is very powerful."
"Yes."
"But I think her smile is a little fake. Maybe she is not happy."
"…"
"She may be a little envious of you."
"How could that be?"
In a corner of the banquet hall, Megumi Kato and Yukinoshita were talking in a low voice. Yukinoshita was not very interested, but when Megumi Kato said that Yang Nai envied her, she was stunned for a moment and immediately shook her head to deny it.
She was very clear that she was much worse than her excellent sister. How could Yang Nai envy her?
Megumi Kato said, "At least I think so, because you haven't made a choice yet. You still have a lot of choices, but she has already made a choice. She may have something she really wants to do, such as acting, or becoming a scholar, or even becoming an idol. But in order to get rid of the shackles of her family, she can only enter the business world and become a strong woman who can stand on her own. No matter how successful she will be in the future, she will eventually give up something. And you, you still have a chance to choose again. "
"…" Yukinoshita suddenly fell into silence.
Is this true? That sister who was like a monster, was it really like what Megumi Kato said?
But even if it was true, the chance for her to choose …
"Don't worry, everything will go smoothly." Just when Yukinoshita was confused, Megumi Kato held her hand and smiled.
"Yes." As if she had gained confidence from Megumi Kato's smile, Yukinoshita nodded her head heavily.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly stopped. The two suddenly raised their heads and saw that the guests and hosts had stood up one after another. Their eyes followed the direction of the banquet hall's entrance not far away, and a group of people was walking in.
Yukinoshita's heart suddenly tightened. The Ito family had arrived!
There weren't many people from the Ito family, only three. Two of them were middle-aged, and the other was a young man in his early twenties. Obviously, this young man was Yukinoshita's blind date. As the heir of the consortium, he didn't have a domineering attitude. He was well-dressed, handsome, and had a smile on his face, appearing polite.
He seemed to be a good young man.
This was also a matter of course. The Yukinoshita family wanted to rise, but they wouldn't push their daughter into the fire pit. The blind date they chose must have been in contact with them. At least, it wouldn't be the kind of scumbag who caused trouble everywhere, drank, and gambled.
But after all, you might know a person's face but not his heart. It was impossible to tell what kind of person the heir of the Ito consortium was just by looking at him.
After the Ito family entered the door, Yukinoshita's parents took the lead to greet them. The other guests also took the initiative to greet them. The scene was full of harmony, filled with a good atmosphere.
When they were almost done chatting, Yukinoshita's mother came over and gave her a meaningful look. Yukinoshita had no choice but to follow her mother's footsteps and walk towards the heir of the Ito family.
The two sides approached each other …
The heir of the Ito family obviously knew the purpose of this trip. He immediately turned his gaze. When their eyes met, his eyes lit up, and he took the initiative to walk forward with a cheerful smile. "Is this Miss Yukinoshita? As the rumors say, she is a very outstanding woman. Hello, my name is Ito Kenji. Please take care of me in the future. "
Ito Kenji's attitude was very good, and his tone was sunny and friendly. But as he spoke, the scene fell into an awkward situation. Even Yang Nai's eyes widened.
Because the person Ito Kenji was looking at was not Yukinoshita, but Megumi Kato!
"…"
Megumi Kato was instantly stunned. She thought that everything was within her calculations, but even she didn't expect that Ito Kenji would recognize the wrong person. This … How could this be explained?
