Chapter 3305: Like mourning for an heir

Hearing that the master, the eldest daughter and the superstar Tawanna were coming, everyone around them became very alert.

Although everyone was surprised by the appearance of Fei Kexin's good friend at the scene, a good friend is just a friend after all, and Fei Kexin was not present in person. The person who was about to arrive was a very powerful person in Japan. He was the head of the Mitsui family, Mitsui Yoshitaka.

Mitsui Yoshitaka is a very low-key person, which is also a common trait of all successors of the Mitsui family. Generally speaking, he rarely participates in such occasions with a large number of people. The reason why he showed up in person this time is mainly because he dotes on his daughter too much. His daughter is a fanatical fan of Tawanna, so as a father, he naturally has to be more active.

Soon, several bodyguards in black led the way, and a middle-aged couple in their fifties walked in with a girl in her early twenties who had a rather 2D style.

Following the three people was a white couple. The woman was the famous Tawanna Sweet, and the burly man with a mustache holding her hand was her boyfriend, professional baseball player Trevor Kennedy.

As soon as these five people entered, the guests in the venue began to applaud and even cheered. Many people even shouted excitedly. The ones who shouted the most were "Mr. Mitsui" and "Ms. Sweet".

Needless to say, Mitsui Yoshitaka is like the boss of the Samsung family in South Korea. Everyone who meets him has to be respectful. And Tawanna Sweet is incredibly famous, and there are indeed many fans who really like her at the scene, such as Xiao Churan and Dong Ruolin.

However, what is puzzling is that the three members of the Mitsui family all have smiling faces and it can be seen that they are genuinely happy, but Tawanna and her boyfriend Trevor have a sullen face, looking a little decadent and bitter.

At this time, Sasaki Yukiko said to Ye Chen and the other two, "This couple is Mr. Mitsui Yoshitaka and his wife Mitsui Miyabi, and the girl next to them is their only daughter, Mitsui Xinmei."

Dong Ruolin asked curiously, "The head of such a big family only has one child?"

"It's normal." Sasaki Yukiko said, "In recent years, Japanese people are less and less willing to have children. Now there are many schools in Japan with more teachers than students. Some schools have only single-digit students, and there may be even fewer in the future."

Dong Ruolin nodded and said, "I can understand the low birth rate. Nowadays, young people in Japan and South Korea don't seem to like having children. But it's rare for such a wealthy family not to like having children. It seems that wealthy families have many children."

Dong Ruolin then added, "I'm speaking from my heart. I don't mean to be gender-biased. The Mitsui family is such a big business, don't they want to give birth to a son to inherit it?"

"No, no, no." Sasaki Sachiko shook her head and said, "For these upper-class families in Japan, having a son is far less suitable than having a daughter. Now everyone likes daughters more and more."

"Ah?" Dong Ruolin was even more surprised and couldn't help asking, "Why is that?"

Sasaki Sachiko whispered, "In Japan, it doesn't matter if you don't have a son. As long as you have a daughter, a son-in-law can marry into the family. And the son-in-law who marries into the family will change his surname to his wife's family. In this way, isn't it the same as having your own son? Anyway, the family business of a large family is not given to one person. Even if the son-in-law who marries into the family takes charge of the family in the future, he will only be in charge for his son or daughter. The family will have strict laws to ensure that the family business is passed down from generation to generation in the family name."

Then, Sasaki Yukiko added, "Moreover, having a son is actually like buying a lottery ticket. It's easy to have a son, but the probability of having a capable son, especially a son capable of managing a trillion-dollar fortune, is even lower than buying a lottery ticket. But it's different to marry a son-in-law. The logic of marrying a son-in-law is that as long as you have a trillion-dollar fortune and a daughter, you can pick any outstanding man from thousands of men to be your son-in-law. Very few people can resist such a strong temptation. It's like what the Japanese often say, giving birth to a son who can be admitted to the University of Tokyo is as difficult as ascending to heaven, but to recruit a son-in-law from the University of Tokyo, you only need to go to the University of Tokyo and grab a boy with your eyes closed."

Dong Ruolin couldn't help but laugh: "How can it be like this..."

Sasaki Sachiko smiled and said, "This is a very normal tradition in Japan, so many big families have only one daughter. The famous Ito family also has only one daughter."

"So that's how it is." Dong Ruolin couldn't help but nodded slightly.

At this time, five people led by Mitsui Yoshitaka had arrived at the center of the party.

A small stage was built right in front, reserved for important people to speak, so Mitsui Yoshitaka stepped onto the small stage surrounded by the crowd.

After he came on stage, someone handed a microphone to Mitsui Yoshitaka. After taking it, Mitsui Yoshitaka smiled and said, "Thank you very much for coming to today's party. Today we are honored to invite the famous American female singer Tawanna Sweet. Her talent has amazed me, a person who never chases stars, and made my precious daughter admire her very much. Please give her the warmest applause to welcome her to Tokyo!"

As soon as Mitsui Yoshitaka finished speaking, the audience burst into applause.

Everyone looked at Tawanna Sweet and her greasy-looking boyfriend with a mustache.

Tawanna Sweet forced a smile to everyone with some difficulty and said, "Thank you, thank you everyone, and thank you Tokyo."

"Strange." Dong Ruolin couldn't help but muttered, "Why do I think Tawana doesn't seem very happy today?"

"Yeah." Xiao Churan also nodded and said, "It seems like you are forcing a smile. Is there something unhappy going on with the Mitsui family?"

"How could it be?" Sasaki Sachiko whispered, "This time, Mitsui Xinmei invited Tawana and her boyfriend to live in her own manor. This treatment is very high. Even many big shots don't have the opportunity to live in the Mitsui family. This time, because Mitsui Xinmei likes Tawana, the Mitsui family has given Tawana all the reception and services of super high standards. If she is still unhappy, it would be too outrageous. Even the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives came to Tokyo, and she didn't get such treatment."

Dong Ruolin couldn't help but gossip, "Could it be that she had a fight with her boyfriend? Look at her face, it's all downcast, she looks very depressed and not at all spirited. Or maybe she found out that her boyfriend was flirting with another woman?"

Xiao Churan hurriedly said: "Ruolin, stop guessing. Those rumors were all made up by people without any reason."

Dong Ruolin chuckled and said, "I'm just curious! She's always very enthusiastic at every concert. She shouldn't be so depressed before a performance. I'm just worried about the quality of her performance later."

Ye Chen suddenly said at this time: "Look carefully at her and her boyfriend. Although both of them are very unhappy and feel like they have lost their parents, they have been holding hands tightly and have not loosened their fingers for even half a second. It can be seen that they need each other very much at this time. This proves that Ruolin's guess is wrong. They are not quarreling at all. On the contrary, they should be facing some kind of hardship together, which means they are in the same boat together through thick and thin."

"Together?" Dong Ruolin asked curiously, "What hardships to face together? They have no shortage of money or love. Besides making money, they travel around the world on a private jet every day to date and show their affection. What hardships can such a couple face? Could it be that their parents don't agree with them being together? That's impossible!"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "It may be that the bad news just came from my hometown, which made them feel like they had lost their lives."

"Bad news?" Dong Ruolin asked in surprise, "What bad news could there be for a winner in life like this?"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Didn't you watch the news? The whole country is red in their hometown. If I remember correctly, these big stars are all in another color."
