Chapter 316: No Good Banquet
Although Xu Youyou was puzzled, she still stopped talking.
After Kuromizu Masako left, facing Xu Youyou's puzzled look, Lu Jingyao explained: "Don't overestimate the morality of these people. They go back on their words many times."
Xu Youyou's heart paused. She originally wanted to take out the jade pendant as a token, thinking that she would complete the task on the spot.
After listening to Lu Jingyao's reminder, she realized that there was no simple task issued by the system, let alone a big circle like this, which meant that the ultimate goal must be a treasure worth a fortune.
No matter what the Heishui family's token represents, the Heishui family certainly understands the importance of this matter, and they may not be willing to give up the treasure.
"Don't worry, when the head of the Heishui family is changed, they will have to be the ones who keep their promises." Lu Jingyao comforted.
Xu Youyou turned her head to glance at him, her thoughts going back to the time when she found a bargain in the trash can two years ago. She couldn't help but think that maybe even if he was not her boyfriend, he would help suppress the Heishui family to keep their promise because of his life-saving grace.
Sure enough, there was a reason for every inexplicable leak by the system, which made Xu Youyou more determined not to miss any mission.
Xu Youyou didn't like the Japanese dry landscape architectural style, and didn't follow the other guests to visit the Heishui family courtyard. Instead, she found a place to sit down at random.
However, Lu Jingyao was pulled aside by an acquaintance in Tokyo, and no one knew what he was talking about.
Xu Youyou hadn't planned to cause trouble before the meal started, but Yasuda Jiro suddenly appeared in front of her with a gloomy look on his face: "I didn't expect you and Lu Jingyao to dare to come to Tokyo."
Xu Youyou looked at the victim in front of him and realized that he knew that she had taken advantage of him.
But she didn't feel much guilt, and instead asked, "Why don't we dare to come?"
Yasuda Jiro was startled. He was not a very smart person. Seeing Xu Youyou's calmness at this moment, he couldn't help but wonder if he had made a mistake. Was Xu Youyou not the one who got the advanced technology of the Yasuda family in Shanghai? Didn't she intercept tens of billions of dollars from their family?
"You know what you have done!" Jiro Yasuda said viciously.
Xu Youyou looked at him in confusion: "I don't understand what you are saying, but your Chinese is pretty good, and you look pretty funny when you're so angry."
Yasuda Jiro wanted to eat her alive: "It's you!"
Xu Youyou still looked innocent: "What is me?"
Yasuda Jiro: "You dare not admit it? Are all Chinese people like rats?"
Even though Xu Youyou was not right, she was still confident and said, "If you really want to ask whether you dare to do it or not, what does your textbook record about the War of Resistance? Do you dare to admit it?"
Jiro Yasuda was speechless for a moment.
The Kuromizu family noticed the dispute between the two. Masako Kuromizu said unhappily, "Yasuda Jiro, Miss Xu is my guest, don't be rude to her."
However, Yasuda Jiro's brother-in-law, the second son of the Kuromizu family, Kuromizu Ken'o, spoke up to take sides: "Masako, Jiro is also my guest, why can't you talk to him properly?"
Masako Kuromizu glared at her second brother and said, "If you really want to have such a good relationship with the Yasuda family, you can marry into the Yasuda family. Grandpa will definitely not stop you."
Ken'ao Kuromizu was so angry that he glared. Their Kuromizu family and the Yasuda family were equally powerful chaebol families. If he went to the Yasuda family as a son-in-law with his identity, firstly, the Yasuda family would not trust him, and secondly, it would be a complete loss of face. There was no such possibility.
"In the past two years, you have been really superstitious that there is great potential in the Chinese market. Every visitor from China will be treated as a guest of honor by you. The Chinese are insidious and cunning, and you are not afraid of falling into the trap." Heishui Jianxiong threatened.
Xu Youyou poured herself a cup of tea. She didn't understand the Japanese argument between the two people in front of her at all. She was just watching the fun.
After the two argued for a while, Ken'ao Kuromizu angrily pulled Jiro Yasuda away.
Masako Kuromizu looked at Xu Youyou with an apologetic look on her face and said, "Miss Xu, your family has a mixed bag of relatives. I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself."
Xu Youyou felt that it was a bit strange to describe her relatives as "good and bad", but she did not lose in the confrontation with Yasuda Jiro, and she did not feel too unhappy. She smiled and said:
"Ms. Blackwater, I'm not unhappy that I can attend the banquet and piss off the people I hate."
Masako Kuromizu couldn't help but laugh. Then she saw that Lu Jingyao hadn't come back yet, and looked at Xu Youyou's youthful face, and said, "Ms. Xu, to be honest, I'm a little uneasy. After all, Mr. Lu and I didn't have much interaction in the past, and I didn't expect to be able to cooperate with him."
Xu Youyou is no longer the naive girl she used to be. Hearing the other party's words, she immediately understood that he was testing her. Lu Jingyao had worked hard to set up the stage, and Xu Youyou would not sabotage it.
"Miss Heishui, we Chinese have a saying that good people will be rewarded. Maybe you have done a lot of good deeds in the past, so you are rewarded like this."
Kuromizu Masako listened to Xu Youyou's inexplicable words and forced a smile. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, as expected, a man like Lu Jingyao, even his fiancée was not a simple character.
Seeing that she could not get more information from Xu Youyou, Kuromizu Masako found an excuse to leave.
It was not until the banquet started that Xu Youyou met the current head of the Heishui family.
The old patriarch is over eighty years old and has an old face, but his eyes are still as sharp as an eagle.
In contrast, the wife of the old patriarch, the actual owner of all the Heishui family's assets, appeared much more kind and looked more like an old lady next door.
Xu Youyou had thought that this birthday banquet, as a banquet for the transfer of power, would be filled with swordplay, but she had not expected that everything would develop extremely peacefully.
She didn't know what Lu Jingyao had done in private. Halfway through the banquet, the old patriarch of the Heishui family suddenly smiled and asked Heishui Masako to stand up and entertain the guests on his behalf.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present immediately understood that the heir to the Blackwater family had almost been decided.
When Xu Youyou saw the other couples of heirs, their faces looked extremely ugly.
"Is this completely settled?" Xu Youyou asked.
Lu Jingyao nodded: "If there are no accidents, there will be a special handover ceremony for the head of the family tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Sure enough, when the banquet was about to end, the old head of Heishui announced that the handover ceremony would be held the day after tomorrow, and that relatives and friends would be invited to witness it.
But something unexpected happened.
