My life in the underworld begins at the Takayanagi family!

Chapter 50 The Pretending Widow, Takayanagi Mitsuka

To Ran's surprise, after hearing her request, Kogoro Mouri rummaged around on his body and pulled out the loan contract.

Being stared at by his own daughter made Kogoro Mouri a little embarrassed.

"If I leave it anywhere else at home, Xiaolan, you might find it and make me return the money. So it's safer to keep it with me."

Now is not the time to dwell on such things. After taking the contract, Ran Mouri unfolded it and began to read it.

Ran Mouri doesn't want to become a lawyer, but she has a lawyer mother.

Furthermore, I often meet with my mother, so I have a certain understanding of the terms and conditions of legal documents or contracts.

After Ran Mouri read through the entire loan agreement, she found nothing amiss.

Based on what Kogoro Mouri just said, and the fact that Ichiro Takayanagi also advised Kogoro Mouri, it shows that Ichiro Takayanagi, as the president of the loan company, still has a certain bottom line and morality.

In other words, this time it was all because Kogoro Mouri was so obsessed with getting rich that he brought this upon himself, leading to the current situation.

Now it is clear that Ichiro Takayanagi is without fault, so the responsibility should fall on Kogoro Mouri.

Unfortunately, Kogoro Mouri has no other option but to mortgage the house, as he doesn't have that much money at home.

Ran Mouri immediately thought of her mother again.

Having been a top lawyer for many years, he should have savings.

However, given her mother's previous attitude, it's unlikely she'd be able to come up with ten million to save Kogoro Mouri.

If Ran Mouri were the one who made this mistake, Eri Kisaki would definitely be very willing to save her daughter.

There was another person who could save him, and that was his good friend, Sonoko Suzuki.

You should know that Sonoko Suzuki is the second young lady of the Suzuki Group, and she has been a good friend of mine for many years.

If you just ask, the other person will definitely be willing to help you.

However, the two of them had a very simple childhood friendship. Even when Ran Mouri and her father Kogoro Mouri were having a hard time, they never made any demands on their good friend.

Despite the other party's promise to help her, Ran Mouri chose to stay with her father and get through it together.

Asking Sonoko Suzuki for help now could very well damage their friendship.

Therefore, neither Eri Kisaki nor Sonoko Suzuki are the first choice for Ran Mouri, so she decides to contact Ichiro Takayanagi herself first.

"Dad, when will President Takayanagi be back?"

I'll go talk to him then and see if we can ease up the repayment schedule.

If we're talking about success, Dad, if you work hard, maybe you can pay the money back.

But Dad, you absolutely mustn't touch horse racing or pachinko anymore, those gambling games, otherwise we'll fall into tragedy again.

Ran Mouri thought of talking to Ichiro Takayanagi in person, but she never thought of going to the horse club to get the money she was cheated out of.

Because that's legal, it's just that Kogoro Mouri is stupid to believe what others say.

"It seems that Gao Liu-kun went back to his hometown to attend his uncle's wedding. He should be back in a couple of days."

Kogoro Mouri first answered the question about Ichiro Takayanagi's whereabouts, and then said to Ran Mouri:

"Xiaolan, don't tell your mother about this yet, otherwise she'll definitely laugh at me for being useless."

“Dad, if you can resolve this situation, I won’t say anything.”

Ran Mouri's words silenced Kogoro Mouri: if he could resolve the matter himself, he wouldn't have bought all that delicious food to atone for his sins.

Now it seems that all I can do is hope that my daughter's negotiations with Takayanagi Ichiro will go smoothly, so that I can pay in installments.

"Xiao Lan, you're in charge here now, whatever you say goes, but let's eat something first."

"Dad, you can eat it if you want, I won't eat it."

With such a big thing happening at home, Ran Mouri has no appetite at all.

Moreover, she can't find anyone to confide in right now, so she can only pick up the contract and go into her room.

Eri Kisaki and Sonoko Suzuki were just backup options for him, and his other childhood friend, Shinichi Kudo, couldn't offer him any help either.

The person who deceived Kogoro Mouri and the others has been arrested and taken to the Metropolitan Police Department, where he will face legal trial.

As for Takayanagi Ichiro lending money to Mori Kogoro, it was legal and compliant, and he even persuaded Mori Kogoro when he made the loan.

This only shows that Kogoro Mouri was already obsessed with money and wouldn't listen to any advice.

Why did I end up with such a father?

After seeing his daughter enter the room, Kogoro Mouri also decided to tidy himself up.

But his stomach started growling, so he immediately and carelessly tore open the takeout packaging and began to devour the food inside.

However, nowadays, Kogoro Mouri is like Pigsy eating ginseng fruit; he doesn't know how to taste it at all, but just stuffs it into his mouth randomly.

It's as if this action can relieve the pressure on them.

.............

The Takayanagi family.

The servants at the Gao family were quick to make preparations; the high priest had already been invited, and the mourning hall and other facilities were fully set up.

It didn't seem like something that happened suddenly; it seemed like it had been planned for a long time.

The information that Ichiro Takayanagi had obtained from the safe was finally sorted out, so he used some of the information to contact people he knew in the Takayanagi family and inform them that Musashi Takayanagi had died.

After learning that Takayanagi Musashi was dead and that Takayanagi Ichiro had become the head of the family, the other party was not much surprised.

After all, such power struggles are common in large families.

Some expressed their condolences over the phone, while others arranged for people to come and pay their respects.

Regardless, Musashi Takayanagi did manage the Takayanagi family for a period of time.

After all, some people still owe the Takayanagi family money. Now that the Takayanagi family has a new head, it's time to come and express their attitude.

The area around the Takayanagi family's main residence was quite lively in the evening because people came to pay their respects.

The visitors didn't seem to have any fond memories of Takayanagi Musashi. After exchanging bows with the family members, they went aside to talk with Takayanagi Ichiro, the head of the family.

The family member who received them was Takayanagi Mitsuka. After all, Takayanagi Ichiro was not married, so as his aunt, she naturally had to come out and help.

As for Kaoru Takayanagi, she was still resting in Ichiro Takayanagi's room.

Chapter 51 Takayanagi Mitsuka complains about her daughter's little tricks

When returning the greetings to the guests, Takayanagi Mitsuka's identity was that of the deceased's wife.

Right now, Takayanagi Mitsuka is wearing a black mourning dress, and it's a rather form-fitting one, which clearly shows the contours of her breasts and hips.

Even though the rest of the body was completely protected, with not a single inch of skin exposed.

However, the aura of a perfect widow still lingered in the mourning hall.

However, no one paid any attention to Takayanagi Mitsuka, because they were all there for Takayanagi Ichiro.

Ichiro Takayanagi is the new head of the Takayanagi family, so we definitely need to find out what kind of lending strategy he will adopt in the future.

As for Takayanagi Mitsuka, this perfect widow, she will definitely belong to Takayanagi Ichiro in the future.

After all, they knew something about the family traditions of the Takayanagi family.

Little did they know, Takayanagi Mitsuka already belonged perfectly to Takayanagi Ichiro.

Not feeling the man's gaze sweeping over her, Takayanagi Mika was not disappointed, but rather somewhat relieved, because she believed that she belonged only to Takayanagi Ichiro.

Now all she has to do is mechanically return the greetings to those who come to pay their respects, and that's it, because Ichiro Takayanagi will take care of everything.

................

Instead of meeting with each of the people who came to conduct research individually, Takayanagi Ichiro gathered them in a conference room.

Ichiro Takayanagi first explained the situation of Musashi Takayanagi and Ryuji Takayanagi, and everyone was shocked after hearing it.

I never expected that Musashi Takayanagi would have such a heavy taste, setting his sights on his own nephew.

No one expected that Ryuji Takayanagi's resistance would be so fierce, even biting through Musashi Takayanagi's Binzhou.

Of course, they still had some suspicions in their hearts.

That is, after Takayanagi Ichiro graduated from university, he returned home and took over the Takayanagi family after dealing with his uncle and younger brother.

However, they did not voice this speculation directly, because doing so would offend Ichiro Takayanagi, who was the sole winner.

What they need to do now is to curry favor with Takayanagi Ichiro, because they will have many more opportunities to interact with him in the future.

At the same time, Takayanagi Ichiro also explained his lending philosophy, which was not much different from that of his father, so the people who came to pay their respects all breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared to Musashi Takayanagi, these people actually prefer the era of Ichiro Takayanagi's father.

Now that Ichiro Takayanagi intends to restore that era, they will definitely be more likely to accept him.

Furthermore, they would secretly spread the story of Takayanagi Musashi and Takayanagi Ryuji, aiming to completely destroy Takayanagi Musashi's prestige.

After getting the answer they wanted, they left, deciding to eat tomorrow.

These people were not able to stay overnight at the Takayanagi family home; instead, they stayed at the home of a Takayanagi maid nearby.

In the evening, all the servants of the Takayanagi family and the guests who came to pay their respects left, and even the Grand Master and others were arranged to rest outside.

Therefore, within the entire Takayanagi family, there is only one couple: Takayanagi Ichiro, Takayanagi Mitsuka, and Takayanagi Kaoru.

The body of Musashi Takayanagi is also lying in the funeral hall, but he is definitely not going to get up and dance; he is as dead as can be.

They will be buried in a couple of days; his era is over.

When Ichiro Takayanagi arrived at the funeral hall, he found Mitsuka Takayanagi still kneeling in the family section.

Although it was an act, Takayanagi Mitsuka didn't want Takayanagi Ichiro to lose face, so her performance was quite convincing.

"You can get up now. You don't need to receive those people tomorrow. What's meant to come has already come."

Takayanagi Ichiro approached Takayanagi Mitsuka and gave her instructions.
