Shoxiu, who had missed out on Shirakawa Kaede, secretly regretted it at first, but he quickly adjusted.

"Although Xiaofeng is not here, I only saw him once when he was a child.

But even I in Tokyo have heard of his name."

"Really?" Kazuko's expression softened slightly. When she mentioned her son, her somewhat sentimental mood finally improved a lot.

In fact, for Shoshu, the name Shirakawa Electric may be something he has heard of for a long time.

However, although Bai Chuanfeng's name was occasionally mentioned, he had never been associated with his long-lost sister.

After all, there are too many people with the same surname in Neon, so who would associate the two together for no reason.

Then how does Zhengxiu know about the relationship between Bai Chuanfeng and himself?

The story begins with his participation in the New Year's party held on January 5th at Kasumi Kaikan. As one of the ex-Chinese, Tozawa Masamune is also eligible to participate in the intra-Chinese affinity meeting.

Although the Chinese Association was abolished in 1947, the former Chinese Association was renamed Xia Association and remains.

The tradition of gathering four times a year within the Chinese community continues to this day.

The ancestors of the Tozawa family had a daimyo, although it was only a small daimyo with less than 60,000 koku, but it was also an officially recognized daimyo.

What's more, he was married to the Oda Nobunaga family, served as Toyojo Hideyoshi's lackey, and also received the title of viscount after the Meiji Restoration aristocratic restructuring.

Therefore, as a direct descendant of the Tozawa clan, it is reasonable for Tozawa Shoshu to attend the Chinese gathering at Kasumi Kaikan.

And at this New Year's meeting, the 32nd generation head of the Shimazu family, Shimazu Shuhisa, suddenly asked him about Shirakawa Kaede.

To be honest, Tozawa Masaki was flattered when his master Shimazu Shuku smiled and talked to him about the family's descendants.

Shimazu Shuhisa is the eldest son of the Shimazu family, and his title is as high as a duke, second only to the royal family.

Such a "big shot" suddenly came to see him in the "Viscount Walking Around" at Xia Guild Hall, which really made him a little confused.

When Tozawa Masamune was inexplicably excited and cautiously flattered Shimazu Osamu.

After the other party suddenly burst out Bai Chuanfeng's name, he fell into confusion.

However, he has long been a human spirit after hanging out in Xia Guild Hall all year round.

While pretending to be a humble junior, he intentionally or unintentionally shifted the topic to Shirakawa Kaede.

It was at that time that Tozawa Shoshu learned that the already famous founder of Shirakawa Electric had such a relationship with him.

Emperor Showa and Empress, who were also present at the New Year Party, accidentally overheard their conversation and even praised the Tozawa family for having successors and not dishonoring the reputation of their ancestors.

At that time, Masamune Tozawa, who heard the fairy voice, became dizzy. This was the emperor whom he regarded as his emperor.

Yes, at Kasumi Kaikan’s annual New Year’s Party, the Emperor and Empress would personally come to have a heart-to-heart talk with everyone.

Although the Chinese people are lonely, they are inextricably linked to the royal family after all.

In order to comfort them who were declining day by day, the royal family still attended their gatherings to show their dignity and also kept in touch with them.

But even if the emperor just said a casual polite word, Tozawa Masamune was still excited about it all day long.

In the subsequent chat, Shimazu Shuku also gradually talked about the children of his family.

In particular, several school-age girls from the recent branch were introduced with emphasis.

When we got here, Tozawa Shoxiu still didn't understand what the other party meant.

This is the rhythm of wanting to get married. After understanding this, he became excited again.

The Shimazu family is still a clan family, which is different from the decline of other Chinese families.

The Shimadzu family is still strong today, especially in the financial world.

Speaking of Shimadzu's name, anyone who pays attention to finance will have heard of its name.

Its strength in medical equipment can compete for the top position in the world.

The aviation and industrial fields are also where its strong business lies.

If he could establish a relationship with the Shimadzu family, then the Tozawa family's current difficult life would seem to be solved.

Even if Tozawa Shoshu thinks further, the glory of his ancestors and the name of the Tozawa family may shine again, it may not be impossible to come true.

Although from the other party's tone, the girl of the right age is only from a collateral background.

But Shimazu's reputation cannot be faked, and besides, Shirakawa Kaede is not of pure Chinese blood.

The perfect match between the two is a perfect match. In the eyes of Tozawa Shoshu, this is simply a match made in heaven.

However, he didn't just stupidly promise to take over this matter. Instead, he said that he would pay a visit in person after the new year and mention this matter by the way.

After all, I know what I did back then. If I can't get that sister's forgiveness, there will be no way to talk about marriage.

That's why Tozawa Shoshu made this unexpected visit after so many years.

"Sister, Xiaofeng is already twenty years old, right?"

Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Tozawa Masamune talked about Shirakawa Kaede's current situation just like an elder cares about his younger generation.

"Exactly." Kazuko nodded, and the satisfaction on her face was easily detectable even by Tozawa Masamune, who was sitting opposite her.

"Counting the time, I will graduate from college soon. Time flies so fast."

Masaki Tozawa, who looked like he was feeling emotional, let out a long sigh, and then turned in another direction.

"Since graduation is about to happen, I wonder if Xiaofeng has found a girlfriend?

At this age, at that time, we might have already gotten married and had children."

After saying this, Tozawa Masamune laughed twice, seeming to be recalling the experience of his youth.

"This" Hezi pondered for two seconds, then smiled and shook his head, "He is an adult. It is up to him to decide these matters."

Although she didn't understand the relationship between her son and that classmate Xiaolin, no matter what kind of relationship it was, she would not interfere in Bai Chuanfeng's emotional affairs.

After all, he was the one who suffered the most, so he would never let Bai Chuanfeng make the same mistake as him.

However, Tozawa Masamune was completely unaware of this, "Sister, Xiaofeng's age has also reached.

Moreover, you and your brother-in-law only have one child, so you should consider marriage matters early, so that you can continue the family bloodline as soon as possible.

It happened that I attended a Chinese gathering in Tokyo some time ago, and an elder of the Shimadzu family seemed to think highly of Xiaofeng.

That was the Shimazu family. Their ancestors had a great name like Shimazu Takahisa, who ruled Satsuma for nearly three hundred years.

To this day, they still have a profound influence in Kyushu, and their family power spreads across all walks of life. Look, sister."

"Tozawa!"

Before Tozawa Masamune finished speaking, Shirakawa Hayato, who had been silently watching his performance, could no longer remain silent and directly interrupted his continued persuasion.

Shirakawa Hayato clenched his fists and stared angrily, "Why, do you want to do what you did to your sister again to Xiaofeng?"

Hearing her husband's question, Kazuko also reacted. Her face, which had gradually softened before, was now as cold as frost again.

"Zhengxiu, this is what you came here for today?!"

Shirakawa Kaede is Kazuko's heartthrob. If someone wants to harm him, Kazuko won't care about his younger brother's identity.

After all, this younger brother has a criminal record and is not a truly kind person.

Seeing the sudden 180-degree change in attitude between Shirakawa Hayato and Kazuko, Tozawa Masamune also hurriedly denied it.

"Sister, brother-in-law, you are worrying too much. I just said it casually, and then I'll talk about it later."

Tozawa Shoxiu waved his hands repeatedly to signal them to calm down, and he had no intention of forcing them.

I just wanted to mention it as a matchmaker, why am I so excited?

Seeing Shirakawa Hayato and Kazuko, their expressions softened slightly. Masaki Tozawa took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

This matter should not be rushed, but can be planned slowly.

But it took a lot of effort to get my sister to let go of what happened back then, and we must not let her previous efforts go to waste just because of this.

After all, although Shimadzu is good, Shirakawa Electric is not bad either.

What's more, compared to that illusory marriage, with the relationship of sister, I have to get some benefits from Shirakawa Electric in the future.

The two had power, and Tozawa Shoxiu decisively chose the one that was closer to him and more realistic.

After his repeated explanations, Shirakawa Hayato and Kazuko's expressions gradually softened, and they did not kick Tozawa Masamune out on the spot.

But even so, they didn't show Tozawa Masaru's face any longer.

Bai Chuanfeng is their enemy, and anyone with evil thoughts will not be treated favorably by them.

Because of the cold moment just now, Tozawa Masaki never dared to mention Shirakawa Kaede in subsequent chats.

Even as a younger brother, he treated Kazuko and Shirakawa Hayato with great respect, hoping to restore the family relationship that had been stranded for many years.

Alas, there is probably no hope for the marriage proposal for the time being.

Trying to borrow the reputation of the Shimadzu family and restore the glory of the Tozawa family seems not to be so smooth.

In this case, let's put this matter aside for now, at least don't mention it in front of my sister and the others.
To be continued...
