Tokyo: My Hundred Ghosts Scroll

Chapter 16 Nao Hayasaka
The Iijima family owns many properties, including many in Shinjuku, Kanagawa, and Chiyoda. The types include large-scale high-rises, villas, and Japanese-style old houses and gardens.

Gu Yun doesn't like high-rise buildings, but prefers Japanese-style single-family buildings, which is the kind often seen in anime.

Not only is the space larger, but it will not be disturbed by other people.

It's a pity that Huan Iijima didn't like it. She felt that the one-household building was too petty. In contrast, her mother preferred the Japanese-style courtyard like the old Iijima house.

Gu Yun naturally wouldn't dislike the Gentle Garden.

Therefore, Iijima Ring bought a Japanese-style garden in Setagaya District, Tokyo, the full-priced one-the Iijima family, a new upstart in Tokyo, is not in vain.

"Ma'am, master."

"Welcome home."

Standing in front of Iijima's house was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old blonde girl.

The blond girl is named Haska, with half Irish blood, and her Japanese name is Nao Hayasaka, and she is the butler of the Iijima family.

"Really, how many times have I said it, don't wait for us at the door."

The mother looked at Nao Hayasaka distressedly. She did not treat the girl as a servant, but took care of her like a sister or a daughter.

Hayasaka Nao's father is a foreigner, but he left their mother and daughter and left the country a long time ago.

Five years ago, 13-year-old Hayasaka Nao's mother passed away due to illness, just in time for the economic crisis.

By chance, Hayasaka Nao hid her age and joined Iijima Ring's company, and showed extraordinary talent and potential, and soon became Iijima Ring's confidant.

"Yes, Miss Nao."

Gu Yun looked at the girl in front of him, she had a cold personality, and her words and deeds were extremely decent.

According to Nao Hayasaka, the Iijima family has unlimited potential and a bright future, and it will be a matter of time before they become the top giants in Japan.

If there is a lack of etiquette, I am afraid that outsiders will laugh at them in the future.

"Ma'am, master."

Hayasaka Nao sighed helplessly: "It is because of you that people outside will say that the Iijima family is an upstart."

"Forehead…"

"that…"

The mother and son looked at each other, a little embarrassed.

Although they don't want to admit it, the mother and son really don't have any celebrity temperament.

"Even if you say that, Nao-chan..."

"lady."

Seeing Nao Hayasaka's cold expression, her mother was a little afraid of her now, so she had no choice but to give in.

Let the Iijima family enter the upper class and become real wealthy celebrities. This is the future policy set by my mother.

The path you choose, you have to walk on your knees.

"puff."

Gu Yun sniggered at the side, and Hayasaka Nao looked at him: "And young master, it seems that you have been a little slack in the country for a month."

"Hey?"

Gu Yun: "No, no, I did my summer homework well."

Not only was his mother afraid of Nao Hayasaka, but Gu Yun was also a little embarrassed by this beautiful blonde lady.

There is no way, Hayasaka Nao is too serious.

But I have to admit that it is precisely because of Nao Hayasaka that the Iijima family is well-organized.

The mother and son also knew that what the girl did was right, so they couldn't resist.

"Although I don't know why you and your wife went to the country for so long," Nao Hayasaka said, "but now that you're back, the schoolwork can be put on the agenda again."

"No, no need, school will start soon..."

"Ok?"

Hayasaka Nao watched Gu Yun calmly, which made the latter feel a lot of pressure, and finally had no choice but to bow his head.

As the sole heir of the Iijima family, Gu Yun has a lot to learn.

There are special tutors for cultural classes, and physical exercises are also indispensable, such as taekwondo, kendo, etc. Gu Yun doesn't need to be too good at it, as long as he can strengthen his body.

In addition, there are economics, current affairs, communication, etc. The schedule is full and there is no spare time.

"Miss Nao, cancel the evening classes."

"Can you know the reason, master?"

"Something personal."

Gu Yun did not tell Nao Hayasaka about the supernatural, and his mother strictly kept this secret.

The people in this world who know the existence of monsters are, after all, a minority.

Iijima Ring doesn't want rumors like 'the Mistress of the Iijima family is a freak' to spread in the circle of celebrities, which is not conducive to the current development of the Iijima family.

"Anyway, please trouble Nao-san."

Evening homework is not every day, but for piano lessons, famous teachers are invited.

Now that it is about to be canceled suddenly, one must be prepared to say something, otherwise it is easy to offend people.

"I understand."

Looking at Gu Yun's smiling face, Nao Hayasaka stopped asking in a measured manner: "Don't worry, young master, I will explain it to them properly."

Although Nao Hayasaka is strict, she abides by her duties as a retainer.

If Gu Yun needs to improve himself, Hayasaka Nao will try his best to find a way, and strictly demand and supervise.

But if Gu Yun felt that it was unnecessary, Nao Hayasaka would follow his will.

"Oh, this is for Nao-san."

Gu Yun took out an amulet from his arms: "It's an amulet I got from a rural shrine, and it's very effective."

"Thank you."

Nao Hayasaka took the Omori with both hands, and hung it on his waist.

The girl doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but this is a gift from Gu Yun. Nao Hayasaka cherishes it very much and decides to carry it with her.

"Okay, okay, let's eat, I'm almost starving to death."

After entering the house, my mother immediately lost her normal shape and looked like a fool.

This made Hayasaka Nao's mouth twitch slightly, but he was helpless.

Now that there are no outsiders in the Iijima family, there is no need to be so strict about maintaining the image.

"Sasa, let's go eat, Nao-chan."

Mother took Hayasaka Nao's hand and walked to the living room.

"lady?"

Nao Hayasaka wanted to refuse, but her mother also had a strong point, directly vetoing her argument that she could not sit with the master, and forced her to eat with him.

"What a fine boy."

The three-tailed fox appeared behind Gu Yun. She was a monster, and Nao Hayasaka couldn't see her unless she showed up.

Shikigami and monsters, this is the secret of the Iijima family.

Maybe Nao Hayasaka will know in the future, but now, Gu Yun decided to hide it.

It's not that I'm worried about Hayasaka Nao, but I'm afraid that she will be in danger.

Grandpa told Gu Yun that once ordinary people know about the world here, the probability of encountering supernatural events will be greatly increased.

So in order to protect the girl, Gu Yun decided to let nature take its course.

"This time, Mei contributed a lot."

After dinner, my mother thought about the smooth progress of the acquisition plan, and said to Hayasaka Nao: "I remember that Mr. Yukinoshita wants to go into politics, right?"

"Want to give support?"

"Well, I fully support it!"

One sentence from the mother decided the further relationship between the Iijima family and the Yukinoshita family: "Also, prepare a gift for me, Mei's daughter is going to have her birthday this month, right?"

"2th birthday."

Hayasaka Nao deserves to be the perfect retainer of the Iijima family. Her mother has always been at ease when she does things.

"Speaking of which, what's the child's name?"

"It seems to be, Yang Nai, Yukinoshita Yang Nai."

The Iijima family is just an emerging rich man, while the Yukinoshita family is a well-known local family. From the perspective of history and heritage, it is difficult to compare the two.

But my mother is really rich, the kind that is too much to spend.

With the help of the economic crisis caused by the bursting of the bubble, Iijima Ring not only kept his own real business, but also made a sudden breakthrough in the sluggish stock market.

She also invested in a large number of overseas companies under Gu Yun's instructions, and thus controlled a huge amount of capital in just five or six years.

In terms of money, the Iijima family is a proper nouveau riche.

Celebrities at the top: I have money.

Iijima family: Me too!
Shares or something, you are not afraid that you will not be able to buy them, but you are afraid that you will not sell them.

Unfortunately, most of the Japanese companies and groups have their own influence and circles, among which the class is solidified and no outsiders are allowed to intervene at all.

So even if she has money, the mother can't break into the inside and share the cakes from others.

And the Yukinoshita family is the allies that mother has tried her best to win over these years.

She and Mei Yukinoshita, the head of the Yukinoshita family, have been close friends since they were students.

In the past, the relationship between Iijima and Mei was just about themselves.

But as the Iijima family continued to expand, the two parties began to communicate in the form of families.

In the past few years, the real estate market was sluggish, and the Yukinoshita family, which operates a construction company, encountered a severe economic winter. Fortunately, there was a large amount of liquidity in the hands of Iijima, which kept the current volume.

Otherwise, even if it does not go bankrupt, Yukinoshita's family will have to fall several steps and suffer heavy losses.

Because of this, the relationship between the Iijima family and the Yukinoshita family has risen rapidly.

Yukinoshita's family not only has Mei alone, but also has an extremely complicated network of relationships.

Earlier, Mrs. Mei was also under a lot of pressure.

She herself is a representative of the old Chinese, no matter how good the relationship with Iijima is, she cannot easily let him in.

Well now, Iijima has saved the Yukinoshita family.

In return, Mrs. Yukinoshita took her mother into the social circle of high society as a matter of course, helped her meet many famous ladies and rich wives, and benefited a lot.

Although Zashiki-douji's blessings have been given to the acquisition of a super-large publishing house this time, the help of the Yukinoshita family is also an extremely important piece of the puzzle.

"By the way, this birthday party, Gu Yun, you can go with me too."

"Hey~~"

What Gu Yun hates the most is this kind of social activity.

A group of ladies and ladies, boasting about each other's business, full of tea, and at a glance, they are all fake smiles.

"Can you not go?"

"No."

The mother didn't give Gu Yun another chance to refuse: "Xuexia's family is our important ally. Her family's daughter is called Yang Nai, right? You spend more time with her on weekdays."

"I still have an idea, I will discuss it with Mei later."

"You don't want to be engaged, do you?!"

As soon as Gu Yun said this, his mother and Nao Hayasaka looked at each other, and they really started to think about it.

"Based on the relationship between our two families, if I go to propose marriage, there should be no problem."

"And Mei is very beautiful, and Mr. Yukinoshita is also good. I think my daughter will be a beauty in the future."

Yukinoshita's family intends to enter politics, and Iijima Ring is really rich.

Now that he is in control of a super-large publishing house, his social status has been raised several levels in an instant, and he is completely worthy of Yukinoshita's family, and even in terms of potential, it is far surpassed.

"I'm just joking, just joking, my lord."

Gu Yun immediately waved his hand, expressing that he is still young and there is no need to think about major life issues so early.

"Gu Yun~~"

"I came to play with you, Gu Yun~~"

Hearing a familiar voice, Gu Yun got up and ran out: "I'll open the door for Xiao Jing."

"Ah, that's right."

Mother showed an 'I understand' expression.

For her child, she naturally hoped that Gu Yun could obtain real happiness.

Although political marriage is good for the Iijima family, they don't need it to maintain the prosperity and stability of the family.

Iijima Ring is not a strong character, she cares more about Gu Yun's feelings.

"Well, don't worry about him," mother said to Nao Hayasaka, "Let's continue discussing the birthday party."
