“No, no, no.” Sasaki Yukiko shook her head and said, “For a large upper-class family in Japan, having a son is far less appropriate than having a daughter. Nowadays, everyone is increasingly favoring daughters.”
“Ah?” Dong Ruolin was even more surprised and asked: “Why is this?”
Sachiko Sasaki whispered: “In Japan, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have a son. As long as you have a daughter, your son-in-law can marry your wife, and the son-in-law will be changed to your wife’s surname. In this way, doesn’t it mean that you have your own son? After all, the family property of a large family is not passed on to one family member in the future, he will only take over for his son or daughter. The family will have strict laws to ensure that the family property will be in the family name from generation to generation.
Saying so, Sasaki Yukiko added: “After all, having a son is actually like buying a lottery ticket. Giving birth to a son is easy, but giving birth to a capable son, let alone a son who can manage a family fortune of trillions of dollars, is more likely than buying a lottery ticket. Even lower, but it’s different when you recruit a wife.”
“The logic of recruiting a wife is that as long as you have a family fortune worth trillions and a daughter, you can randomly choose one of thousands of outstanding men to be your son-in-law. Very few people can resist such a strong temptation as the Japanese often say. It is very difficult to have a son who can be accepted into Tokyo University. But to recruit a son-in-law from Tokyo University, you only need to go to Tokyo University and catch a boy with your eyes closed.”
Dong Ruolin couldn’t help but laugh: “Can it still be like this…”
Sachiko Sasaki smiled and said: “This is a normal tradition in Japan, so many big families only have daughters. The famous Ito family also only has one daughter.”
“That’s all.” Dong Ruolin could only nod lightly.
At this time, five people led by Mitsui Yoshitaka had arrived in the middle of the party.
A small stage was set up right in front, which was specifically reserved for important people to speak, so Mitsui Yoshitaka stepped onto the small stage surrounded by everyone.
After going on stage, someone handed the microphone to Mitsui Yoshitaka. After Mitsui Yoshitaka took it, he smiled and said: “Thank you very much for coming to today’s party. Today we are fortunate to invite the famous American female singer Tawanna Sweet. Her talent amazes me, someone who has never been a star-struck person, and it even makes my baby girl admire her. Please give her the warmest applause to welcome her to Tokyo!”
As soon as Mitsui Yoshitaka finished speaking, the audience immediately applauded.
All eyes were on Tawanna Sweet and her greasy, mustachioed boyfriend.
Tawanna Sweet seemed to have difficulty forcing a smile on everyone, and said: “Thank you, thank you everyone, and thank you Tokyo.”
“Strange.” Dong Ruolin couldn’t help but mutter: “Why do I think Tawana seems unhappy today?”
“Yes.” Claire also nodded and said, “It looks like he’s forcing a smile. Is there something unpleasant about the Mitsui family?”
“How is that possible?” Sasaki Yukiko whispered: “This time Mitsui Shinmei invited Tawanna and her boyfriend to live in her own home. The treatment is very high. Even many big people do not have the opportunity to live in Mitsui’s home. This time, because Mitsui Xinmei likes Tawanna, all the reception and service given to Tawanna are of a very high standard. If this can still make her unhappy, it would be too much, even if the President and the House of Representatives did not receive the same treatment as she did when she came to Tokyo.”
Dong Ruolin couldn’t help but gossip: “Could it be that she had a fight with her boyfriend? Look at her entire face looking down. She looks very depressed and can’t lift her spirits at all. It could also be that her boyfriend is cheating on her with someone else. Did he catch her chatting?”
Claire said quickly: “Ruolin, please stop guessing. The rumors are indeed like this.”
Dong Ruolin chuckled and said, “I’m just curious! His energy increases every time he performs at a concert. He shouldn’t be too decadent before performing. I’m worried about the quality of his performance later.”
Charlie suddenly said at this time: “Look closely at her and her boyfriend. Although both of them are very unhappy and feel like they are in mourning, their fingers are always clasped together and never let go for even half a second. From this, we can see that they really need each other at this time, which proves that Ruolin’s guess is wrong. Instead, they should be facing difficulties together, which means they are in the same boat through thick and thin.
“Facing it together?” Dong Ruolin asked curiously: “What difficulties do we have to face together? They don’t lack money, and they don’t lack love. In addition to making money, they both fly around the world in private jets every day to date and show off. Honey, what difficulties can such a couple have? Isn’t it possible that their parents don’t agree with them?”
Charlie smiled and said: “Maybe it was the bad news that just came from my hometown, which made them feel like they had passed the test.”
“Bad news?” Dong Ruolin asked in surprise: “What kind of bad news can a winner in life have?”
Charlie smiled and said, “Didn’t you watch the news? Their hometown is now red all over the country. If I remember correctly, these big stars have different colors.”
