Chapter 1 This family is probably going to be finished
Suzuki Sonoko's turbulent life began with a medical examination report.
She took the stack of data sheets printed with hidden patterns and turned to the page of diagnosis results without knowing what it meant. Finally, among the pages full of English terms, she found a line of Chinese characters that she could understand.
"What does... varicocele mean?"
Hearing the uncomfortable coughing of her parents, Yuanzi studied the name for a long time in confusion, thinking that this name sounded like cervical spondylosis... and also like high blood pressure.
Since her parents didn't seem particularly sad or depressed except for being embarrassed, she thought about it for a long time but couldn't think of a terminal illness.
Her father is almost fifty years old, so it is normal for him to have some cardiovascular disease. Based on her understanding of her family, unless it is really a terminal illness, no matter how troublesome the disease is, there is a way to control it.
So, as a good daughter, she shook the report unconsciously, sat quietly with her head raised, and prepared to listen to her parents announce the rehabilitation plan formulated by the health consultant.
There are only a few things that need to be paid attention to when it comes to diseases in middle-aged and elderly people, such as quitting smoking, drinking, and consuming less oil and salt. Her father will definitely not be able to adapt to this for a while. Although she is used to a free life, in order to help her father manage his health, it is acceptable for her to become a monk and eat vegetarian food with him.
Ah, I am such a good daughter...
However, the expected health advisor did not appear.
Shiro Suzuki looked at her expectant, sparkling eyes and opened his mouth to speak several times, but in the end he couldn't put down the cup in his hand.
Seeing the atmosphere was about to reach rock bottom and her daughter's eyes were about to blink out, Suzuki Tomoko suddenly had an idea and asked, "Sonoko, you have your cell phone with you, right?"
Yuanzi was stunned by her question and quickly took out his cell phone to show it.
Mom cleared her throat and said, "In that case, why don't you look up the characteristics of this disease online? Once you have a better understanding, we'll explain it to you in detail."
Could it really be a terminal illness?
Although Suzuki Sonoko was a little confused, she still did as she was told.
The Suzuki family is being modest when they say they have a large family business. For the past fourteen years, Sonoko has had unlimited power to spend money, but she has been exposed to very few family affairs. So she has developed very good habits. When she encounters something she doesn't understand, she just does what her parents tell her to do.
So she turned on the screen, opened the browser, and typed in this medical term that sounded like both hypertension and cervical spondylosis.
The first search result was not the encyclopedia as expected, but a hospital advertisement with a promotional suffix. Yuanzi was first shocked by the anatomical diagram of the male reproductive organs that had no other meaning, and then saw a line of small words in the hospital introduction.
Male infertility
With a subtle expression, she scrolled to the encyclopedia page, refreshed it three times, and finally put down her phone. She responded to her parents' gaze with an expression similar to "This has to be a joke.jpg."
The moment their eyes met, time seemed to stand still.
Shiro Suzuki sighed, finally put down the teacup in his hand, and nodded very sadly.
Yuanzi was stunned for a moment, then scratched his ear pretending to be calm, and said "Oh" as if he suddenly realized something.
——Although I don’t know what she should suddenly realize, I always feel that the atmosphere just now has solidified to the point that if she doesn’t say “oh”, she will freeze on the spot.
Fortunately, Shiro Suzuki had already made enough mental preparations. Instead of continuing to discuss this extremely embarrassing topic with his daughter, it was more important to discuss realistically the situation that needed to be dealt with later.
Although he holds a high position and has great power, Suzuki Shiro is actually a kind-looking, fat white man. At this moment, although he still looks serious, his words have unconsciously become solemn.
"Yuanzi," her father sighed and asked, "Do you know what it means for me to have this disease?"
Suzuki Sonoko's mind was stuck on the infertility advertisement page, and she was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to repeat the text description next to the anatomical diagram...
Suzuki Tomoko was her biological mother. Seeing her expression, she immediately knew where her mind was going. She tapped the table in frustration and shouted, "You should have had a younger brother!"
Oh, yeah...
This time, Yuanzi really understood.
The Suzuki family is not just an ordinary wealthy family. They have quite a bit of history and have some feudal ideas about heirs. It is assumed that the heir must be male, and the eldest son is best!
So being the daughter of the Suzuki family is particularly easy.
It is said that things like "elite education" and "shackles of responsibility" were reserved for her unborn brother.
etc.
Thinking of this, she looked at the report on the coffee table again: Does this thing mean... that she has no chance of having a younger brother?
Actually, there are very few members of the Suzuki family. In the previous generation, there were only her father and her uncle. However, because her uncle was a very fashionable unmarried man and has been single until he is seventy years old, he has long lost the ability to have children. Therefore, in this generation, there are only two girls with the surname Suzuki left: Sonoko and her sister.
Suzuki Ayako was more than seven years older than Sonoko. There was an economic crisis at that time. The Suzuki family was a big tree that attracted the wind. Although they would not be beaten to death on the beach for a while, the bigger the creature, the more afraid it was of being defeated by ants. So a year before Sonoko was born, the Suzuki family and the Tozawa family formed an alliance in the form of a marriage. As a witness of insurance for both parties, the six-year-old sister was promised to the ten-year-old third son of the Tozawa family.
This was announced to the world with great fanfare at the engagement party held at the beginning of this year. There is no possibility of changing it. After Suzuki Ayako graduates from university, she will have to change her surname to Tozawa.
In other words…
"Am I the only one left?"
Suzuki Shiro still had a serious expression. Tomoko looked at her second daughter who was in shock with an even more sad look than at the beginning, and nodded with sorrow.
So, in the fourteenth year of her life, Suzuki Sonoko was forced to become the next heir to the Suzuki Group, a super group whose even the Tokyo landmarks were her family's private property, because of a report of infertility.
=======
Although the news came suddenly, Suzuki Sonoko's career as an heir was not as chaotic as imagined.
In fact, it was quite chaotic, but the direction was a little wrong.
At the beginning, the three elders of the Suzuki family tried to struggle.
For example, they found a group of teachers to give courses to Suzuki Sonoko, trying to instill the so-called elite family education into her mind, but when they implemented it, they found that the project was too big.
All in all, it's all because of being too rich.
The specific history of the Suzuki family's rise to wealth is no longer traceable, but around the time when Suzuki Sonoko was born, their family seemed to have suddenly been blessed by the God of Wealth. They made money on whatever they invested in, and made money on whatever they bought. Their assets doubled.
When Suzuki Ayako was a child, she needed to learn some skills that met the needs of the so-called "upper class" in order to pretend to be someone she liked. Because she had a fiancé early on, she also had to take the so-called "bride course" into consideration.
But by the time Sonoko went to kindergarten, the Suzuki family was already wealthy enough that they no longer needed to cater to or care about any "upper-class standards." The Suzuki family's daughter no longer needed to learn any "bridal skills" or behave in a "virtuous" manner to embellish her status.
The surname Suzuki itself represents everything.
Strictly speaking, all extracurricular activities in the garden are determined by interest. If you want to learn, you can learn. If you lose interest, you can stop at any time. There is no need for any achievements at all.
What's more, Suzuki Sonoko never took standard etiquette courses since she was a child.
In fact, she has been surrounded by mysterious privileges most of the time, and etiquette is just a part of her family education, a universal value like respecting others and being compassionate.
To be more specific, these are actually very broad rules, such as not interrupting others when they are speaking and not smearing food on your face while eating.
——It’s enough to be able to recognize the various patterns of napkins. When making them yourself, just be able to fold the simplest square shape. If you can’t fold it, just lay it flat. It’s enough to know the general social etiquette. There’s no need to think about the twists and turns, and no one will say anything if you do something a little out of the ordinary.
As for something as difficult as ballroom dancing, you only need to learn some basic steps. There is no strict requirement to practice. It doesn't matter if someone invites you. If you don't want to dance, you can just refuse.
Fortunately, she has a mysterious appreciation and discrimination ability for food, tea, wine, and flowers. When she is keen, she can even accurately identify who is the best contestant in dance performances and equestrian competitions.
But this kind of ability basically depends on daily accumulation. The more you know, it is simply because you eat and see a lot. The specific expression is just one sentence: this is good (eat/see/excellent), that is not good (eat/see/excellent).
As for why this is good...
Sorry, she has lived to this day and still can’t remember the names of a few wineries.
——What is elite education?
——Don’t I just want to live the way that makes me happy?
——She has been stereotyped for the past fourteen years. It’s hard for her to even be an elite member of a large family, let alone an heir! ?
