Chapter 314 No good banquet
Chapter 314 No good banquet
Although Xu Youyou was confused, she still stopped talking about the topic.
After Kuromizu Masako left, facing Xu Youyou's puzzled look, Lu Jingyao explained: "Don't overestimate the morality of these people. They often go back on their words."
Xu Youyou's heart skipped a beat. She had originally wanted to take out the jade pendant as a token, thinking that she would complete the task on the spot.
After hearing Lu Jingyao's reminder, she realized that none of the tasks issued by the system were simple, let alone going around in circles like this, which meant that the ultimate goal must be a treasure worth a fortune.
No matter what the Heishui family's token represents, the Heishui family certainly understands the importance of this matter, and they may not be willing to give the treasure away.
"Don't worry, when the head of the Heishui family is replaced, they will have to be people who keep their promises." Lu Jingyao comforted.
Xu Youyou glanced at him sideways, her thoughts going back to the time when she found something worth finding in the trash can two years ago. She couldn't help but think that maybe even if he wasn't her boyfriend, he would still help suppress the Heishui family to keep their promise because of his life-saving grace.
Sure enough, there was a reason for every inexplicable leak the system gave out, which made Xu Youyou even more determined not to miss any mission.
Xu Youyou did not like the Japanese dry landscape architectural style, and did not follow other guests to visit the Heishui family courtyard. Instead, she found a place to sit down at random.
However, Lu Jingyao was pulled aside by an acquaintance in Tokyo, and no one knew what they were talking about.
Xu Youyou hadn't intended to cause any trouble before the meal started, but Yasuda Jiro suddenly appeared in front of her with a gloomy look on his face: "I didn't expect you and Lu Jingyao to dare to come to Tokyo."
Xu Youyou looked at the victim in front of her and realized that he knew she had taken advantage of her.
But she didn't feel much guilt, and instead asked, "Why don't we dare to come?"
Yasuda Jiro was taken aback. He wasn't a very smart man, but seeing Xu Youyou's calmness, he couldn't help but wonder if he had made a mistake. Could it be that Xu Youyou wasn't the one who had obtained the Yasuda family's advanced technology in Shanghai? Had she not snatched tens of billions from their family?
"You know what you have done!" Jiro Yasuda said viciously.
Xu Youyou looked at him in confusion: "I don't understand what you are saying, but your Chinese is quite good. You look quite funny when you are so angry."
Yasuda Jiro wanted to eat her alive: "It's you!"
Xu Youyou still looked innocent: "What is me?"
Yasuda Jiro: "You dare not admit it? Are all Chinese people like rats?"
Even though Xu Youyou was not right, she was still confident and said, "If you really want to ask whether you dare to do it or not, what do your textbooks record about the War of Resistance? Do you dare to admit it?"
Jiro Yasuda was speechless for a moment.
The Kuromizu family also noticed the dispute between the two. Kuromizu Masako said unhappily: "Yasuda Jiro, Miss Xu is my guest, don't be rude to her."
On the other hand, Yasuda Jiro's brother-in-law, Kuromizu Ken'o, the second son of the Kuromizu family, started to take sides: "Masako, Jiro is also my guest, why can't you talk to him properly?"
Masako Kuromizu glared at her second brother and said, "If you really want to have such a good relationship with the Yasuda family, you can marry into the Yasuda family. Grandpa will definitely not stop you."
Ken'o Kuromizu glared in anger. Their Kuromizu family and the Yasuda family were equally powerful chaebol families. If he went to the Yasuda family to be a son-in-law with his status, firstly, the Yasuda family would not trust him, and secondly, it would be a disgrace to them. There was no such possibility.
"In the past two years, you have been really superstitious about the great potential of the Chinese market. Every visitor from China will be treated as a guest of honor by you. The Chinese are insidious and cunning, and you are not afraid of falling into the trap." Heishui Jianxiong threatened.
Xu Youyou poured herself a cup of tea. She didn't understand the Japanese quarrel between the two people in front of her at all. She was just watching the fun.
After the two argued for a while, Ken'o Kuromizu angrily pulled Jiro Yasuda away.
Kuromizu Masako looked at Xu Youyou with an apologetic look on her face and said, "Miss Xu, your family has a mixed bag of relatives. I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself."
Xu Youyou felt that it was a bit strange to use the word "good and bad" to describe her relatives, but she did not lose the battle with Yasuda Jiro, so she did not feel too unhappy and said with a smile:
"Miss Heishui, I'm not unhappy about attending the banquet and being able to annoy those I hate."
Kuromizu Masako couldn't help but laugh. Then, noticing that Lu Jingyao hadn't returned yet and looking at Xu Youyou's youthful appearance, she said, "Ms. Xu, to be honest, I'm a little uneasy. After all, Mr. Lu and I haven't had much interaction in the past, and I never thought we could reach a cooperation."
Xu Youyou is no longer the naive girl she used to be. Hearing the other party's words, she immediately understood that he was testing her. Lu Jingyao had worked hard to set up the stage, and Xu Youyou would not ruin it.
"Miss Heishui, we Chinese have a saying that good people will be rewarded. Perhaps you have done a lot of good deeds in the past, which is why you are being rewarded like this."
Hearing Xu Youyou's inexplicable words, Kuromizu Masako forced a smile and couldn't help but sigh in her heart that a man like Lu Jingyao, even his fiancée was not a simple character.
Seeing that she could not get more information from Xu Youyou, Kuromizu Masako found an excuse to leave.
It was not until the banquet started that Xu Youyou met the current head of the Heishui family.
The old patriarch is over eighty years old and has an old face, but his eyes are still as sharp as an eagle.
In contrast, the old patriarch's wife, the actual owner of all the Heishui family's assets, appeared much more kind and looked more like an old lady next door.
Xu Youyou originally thought that this birthday banquet, as a banquet for the transfer of power, would be full of swords and sabers, but she did not expect that everything would develop extremely peacefully.
She didn't know what Lu Jingyao had done in private. Halfway through the banquet, the old head of the Heishui family suddenly smiled and asked Heishui Masako to stand up and entertain the guests on his behalf.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present immediately understood that the heir to the Heishui family had almost been decided.
When Xu Youyou saw the other couples of heirs, her expressions became extremely ugly.
"Is this completely settled?" Xu Youyou asked.
Lu Jingyao nodded: "If nothing unexpected happens, there will be a special handover ceremony for the head of the family tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Sure enough, when the banquet was about to end, the old head of Heishui announced that the handover ceremony would be held the day after tomorrow, and that relatives and friends would be invited to witness it.
But something unexpected happened.
