Ito Emi quickly arranged a motorcade to accompany her, but Ye Chen still drove the same car he came with.
Nanako Ito also got into Marven's car without hesitation.
Afterwards, Ye Chen drove, led by a motorcade, to the Ito family's mansion in Tokyo.
Although land in Tokyo is at a premium and is one of the most expensive cities in the world, the Ito family also owns a quiet private estate here.
The entire manor is designed with Japanese ancient architecture, which is very simple, but reveals low-key luxury everywhere.
Ye Chen discovered that even the wood used to build the house was extraordinary.
It seems that the top big families have a lot of money and no place to spend it, so when building and decorating houses, they just try their best to spend money. If they can use high-end ones, they will never use ordinary ones. If they can, they will use imported ones.
Definitely not local.
In the final analysis, there is still a saying, only choose the expensive one, not the right one.
Because Emi Ito called in advance, all the servants in the Ito residence were neatly dressed and waiting respectfully at the entrance of the residence, in the yard and inside the villa.
Ye Chen parked the car, and under the leadership of Ito Nanako, walked through the beautiful and majestic courtyard and walked all the way to the door of the villa. All the servants along the way bowed at ninety degrees, with a very humble attitude.
The Ito family's villa in Tokyo is a huge multi-story wooden building. The whole building looks like a huge ancient temple, and the internal space is surprisingly large.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the main hall, Nanako Ito suddenly bent down and knelt on the ground, cupped his hands in vain, and said to Ye Chen: "Jun Ye, please let Nanako change your slippers!"
Ye Chen was stunned and waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, no, give me the slippers, I can do it myself."
But Nanako Ito insisted: "Let Nanako change it for Ye Chenjun. This is a Japanese tradition. Ye Chenjun should just follow the local customs."
Ye Chen thought to himself, China has long had equality between men and women, so why in Japan do women still kneel down to change men's shoes?
But then I thought about it, since it is other people's customs, the people themselves may not think there is anything wrong with it. If I insist on objecting, it will actually break the other party's rules.
So he had no choice but to lift his feet and said sincerely: "Then thank you, Miss Nanako."
Nanako Ito, who was still wearing a kimono, looked up at Ye Chen and smiled shyly. She was so beautiful.
Then, she gently held Ye Chen's feet with both hands, gently changed him into a pair of slippers, and then slowly stood up and said to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye Chen, please!"
Ye Chen nodded slightly and walked in with her.
Ito Nanako introduced him: "This house has a history of more than a hundred years. It was severely damaged during the Great Kanto Earthquake. Because the cost of repair was too high, no one cared about it. Later, it was taken over by my father.
I bought it and spent a huge amount of money to restore it, so it became what it is now.”
Ye Chen asked curiously: "Mr. Ito seems to have a special liking for old houses like this? That house in Kyoto looks much older than this one."
Ito Nanako said with a sweet smile: "Actually, it's mainly because I like this style of architecture. After moving to Tokyo from Kyoto at the age of fourteen, I have never been used to the life in Tokyo, so my father bought this place and spent a lot of money.
I spent money to repair it and it became what it is now.”
Speaking, Nanako Ito said with emotion: "But I still like Kyoto more."
Ye Chen nodded and said: "This mansion is quiet and has an antique charm. It is already very good, but the one in Kyoto is really better."
Ito Nanako said with some melancholy: "My father asked me to take over the family affairs. It seems that there will be very few opportunities to go back in the future..."
After saying that, she looked up at Ye Chen and asked with a bit of pleading: "Mr. Ye Chen, Nanako has a request. I wonder if you can agree to it?"
