"Takahashi Yoshito! What do you mean? Don't you think we've been humiliated enough?!"

"Elders, calm down."

Takahashi Taro persuaded, and then looked at Takahashi Yoshito seriously, "We need your explanation, and please ask this Kuraki Shirakawa to leave now, otherwise we will be rude to him."

"Kuraki-kun, why are you here?"

Takahashi Yulan looked at Shirakawa in confusion.

Shirakawa smiled politely at Takahashi Yulan,

"Since everyone doesn't welcome me, I'll leave now."

Takahashi Yoshito reached out and grabbed his shoulder,

"Wait, Shirakawa."

Chapter 384 383·"Except for you, no one can save the declining family."

Takahashi Yoshito looked back at the Takahashi family members, his eyes were sharp, revealing unquestionable majesty and domineering,

"I brought him here today, let's see who dares to let him go."

The elders of the family looked at Takahashi Yoshito in surprise, and Takahashi Yoshito's peers also looked confused and angry, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Takahashi Yulan stood up and said seriously,

"Kuragi-kun has helped me a lot before. Please don't misunderstand him. A guest is a guest. Our Takahashi family shouldn't treat him like this."

"Shut up. It's not your turn to speak here."

Takahashi Yukisaburo scolded.

Takahashi Kenichi pulled Takahashi Yulan's sleeve and signaled her not to continue.

Takahashi Chihiro, who had been playing soy sauce throughout the whole process, did not stand on the side of his sister Takahashi Yulan this time. Although he didn't like to take care of family affairs and liked the carefree life abroad, he still had a sense of family honor and thought that Takahashi Yulan should not find a private detective to investigate her family's affairs and expose them all.

"Uncle Takahashi, we need your explanation."

He looked at Takahashi Yoshito and said.

Takahashi Yoshito patted Shirakawa on the shoulder and introduced,

"Let me introduce you to everyone. This is Takahashi Shirakawa."

"Takahashi? Shirakawa??"

Everyone was stunned, including Takahashi Yulan.

"How could his last name be Takahashi?"

"Takahashi Yiren, what are you kidding?"

"Can you fool the elders at will?"

"How dare he call himself Takahashi Shirakawa?"

"Takahashi Yiren, please be serious."

The members of the clan who attended the meeting were talking about it, and the four young people looked at each other.

"Is it Uncle Takahashi's illegitimate child?"

Takahashi Meiling whispered.

Takahashi Zhiyang opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. It didn't matter that he suddenly had a young brother, but this brother was still the culprit who ruined their family's reputation.

Is he going to form a Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Child with Takahashi Yulan? Is he specifically blackening his own family?

"Even if it's an illegitimate child, you can't bring him directly to the family meeting. Don't you look at who is here? Is he qualified?"

The young Takahashi Kenichi complained.

"When did our family meeting become a gathering of illegitimate children?"

Takahashi Yukishiro said, and most people laughed.

"Yeah, will the family meeting be changed to a meeting of illegitimate children in the future?"

"Illegitimate children should be more low-key, why come out to embarrass themselves."

"Besides, this illegitimate child has also ruined the glory of our family. We will not accept him."

"Takahashi Yiren, take him away."

Listening to the discussions of the clan members, Takahashi Yiren frowned,

"Ahem."

Takahashi Yiren coughed twice and said seriously,

"Not long ago, it was him who represented our Takahashi family to join the Paradise Club again."

The noisy discussions stopped abruptly after this sentence was spoken, and the meeting room became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

After a moment, a new round of discussions broke out.

"How is it possible? We applied so many times before, but were rejected by the club."

"How could the Paradise Club accept him?"

"Why would this illegitimate child?"

"Absolutely impossible, even the previous head of the family was rejected."

Takahashi Yulan looked at Shirakawa in disbelief and whispered, "Kuragi-kun, is this true?"

But her voice was drowned out by the discussions of many uncles.

Shirakawa didn't hear clearly, but just looked at her in confusion.

Bang bang--

Takahashi Chaoyi, the oldest person in the Takahashi family, knocked on his cane and scolded,

"Be quiet."

The clan members stopped talking and looked at the family elder Takahashi Chaoyi.

Takahashi Chaoyi looked at Takahashi Yoshito seriously,

"I know you won't joke about this kind of thing. I just want to know how he joined the Paradise Club now!"

Takahashi Chaoyi's words undoubtedly acknowledged the fact that Shirakawa joined the Paradise Club. Even the youngest people in the family knew what joining the Paradise Club meant. Even the most declining family could rely on the power of the Paradise Club to return to the peak, or even surpass the peak.

If Kuraki Shirakawa really joined the Paradise Club, let alone that he had only helped Takahashi Yulan investigate Takahashi Kita before, even if he had done more excessive things before, and the hatred with the Takahashi family was deeper, it could be resolved.

Takahashi Yoshito walked up to the old man, bent down, and whispered something in the old man's ear.

A trace of fear welled up in the old man's eyes.

He nodded heavily, and finally understood why Takahashi Yoshito brought Kuraki Shirakawa here.

"Okay, in that case, you sit down."

The old man ordered the servants to add two high-backed chairs and put them on his right side. The closer to the old man, the higher the status in the family.

Even Takahashi Takenori and Takahashi Katsutaro had to move.

The younger generations of the Takahashi family were even more shocked. They didn't know what Takahashi Yoshito said to the old man, but the old man was willing to let them sit next to him.

This was equivalent to recognizing Kuraki Shirakawa's identity.

Just now they were still laughing at Shirakawa for being an illegitimate child, but now they just felt their faces burning.

"Although Takahashi Shirakawa did do a lot of things that were detrimental to the interests of the family before, there were reasons for it. He was trying to help the girl Yu Lan, and now that Shirakawa can return to our family, we should welcome him."

The old man Takahashi Chaoyi had no children and hated illegitimate children the most in his life, but he was also the most fair. When he applauded, everyone followed suit and applauded to welcome Shirakawa.

Shirakawa nodded slightly to everyone, "Thank you, elders."

Takahashi Katsutaro was a little surprised. He was also very curious about what the old man heard that made his attitude change 180 degrees.

"Yiren, you speak next."

Takahashi Chaoyi looked at Takahashi Yiren.

Takahashi Yiren picked up the newly brewed tea on the table and slowly said,

"We visited the Akagi family. The head of the Akagi family has promised to help Shirakawa. Just based on these two points, the family can't do without him."

Everyone was shocked again.

The Akagi family and the Takahashi family used to be a family that had been friends for generations, but with the defeat of the Takahashi family, the relationship between the two families gradually became alienated and they rarely contacted each other. Now Akagi Chihiro is willing to help Shirakawa, which once again proves Shirakawa's ability.

Takahashi Yulan has the best relationship with Shirakawa among those present. Even she didn't expect things to develop like this.

She felt very complicated.

Because she paid a huge price to be able to sit here today, she worked hard for a long time to have a seat in the family meeting.

In fact, she asked Shirakawa to investigate Misty Island, on the one hand, it was indeed to investigate the death of her brother, and on the other hand, it was for the family secret.

After getting the secret, she chose to take a risky move. By making the secret public, she brought the already declining family back into the public eye. At the same time, she also expressed her attitude and became the only positive image representative of the Takahashi family. She put the interests of the family aside, found out the criminal history of other people in the family, and sent them to the police station. Whether in terms of public opinion or social influence, Takahashi Yulan has become the most concerned person of the new generation of the Takahashi family.

She stepped on the interests of most people in the Takahashi family and became a figure on the cusp of the storm. As a result, she was recognized by the elders of the family, allowing her to participate in the family meeting and become the only female decision-maker.

In this process, she had to accept the endless abuse and criticism of the clan members, and even if she did something wrong, it would be infinitely magnified.

But she did this for a reason.

She wanted to become the real person in power in the Takahashi family, which was very difficult in the Takahashi family, where men were superior to women.

She damaged the interests of the family in exchange for long-term interests, and also violated the family's creed and family honor.

The Takahashi family regards family honor as more important than life. Even Takahashi Kita and Takahashi Nagakage, who are born with perverted fetishes, have fought for the family's honor and career.

A woman who rises to power by throwing away the family's honor, no matter how outstanding she is, will find it difficult to truly gain the support of the elders.

Therefore, Takahashi Yulan must also please these family elders and try not to disobey them, and even agreed to marry someone she doesn't like.

Her purpose is very clear, which is the position of the head of the family.

Takahashi Zhiyang will not compete with her, and he has no ability to compete with her. The purpose of his return to the country this time is to give up the identity of the heir. As for whether it is Takahashi Yulan or Takahashi Kenichi, it will be decided by the elders.

Kenichi Takahashi is a strong competitor of Yuran Takahashi. He has been helping his brother and uncles to manage the family business. In addition, he is very obedient and has never done anything to shame the family. Even though he is average in ability, he is still loved by the elders. The most important thing is that he is a man.

Meiling Takahashi and Yuran Takahashi have the same problem. She is a woman, and a married woman, so she has been directly excluded from the heir.

So, in fact, Yuran Takahashi is confident that she can defeat Kenichi Takahashi, but now it is different.

Shirakawa Kuraki intervened. He not only got the support of Yoshito Takahashi, but also the Akagi family and the Paradise Club behind him. In addition, this person is very smart. Yuran Takahashi only felt that her position as the head of the family suddenly became distant.

Before Shirakawa Kuraki intervened in her family's internal affairs, the two could be friends, but now, Shirakawa Kuraki has become the biggest obstacle in front of her, preventing her from taking the position of the new head of the family.

Yuran Takahashi tried not to show her dissatisfaction on her face, and still smiled at Shirakawa.

However, Shirakawa saw a complex emotion in her eyes.

"You came at the right time today. Zhiyang has decided to settle abroad and has no intention of returning to China. He wants to give up his position as heir, which is also the theme of today's meeting."

Takahashi Katsutaro said.

Shirakawa was slightly stunned. He finally understood why Takahashi Yulan was unhappy.

It turned out that his appearance affected her "career".

"Yeah."

Takahashi Yiren nodded.

Takahashi Yukisaburo spoke on behalf of the six elders of the family,

"Zhiyang, have you really decided?"

"Yes, I am indeed not suitable to be the head of the family, and I have no confidence in doing it well. I just want to live abroad with my wife. I am sorry that I have failed the expectations of all the elders."

Takahashi Zhiyang is naturally intelligent, but he is not interested in handling family affairs at all. Now he has opened a research institute abroad, specializing in scientific research, married and had children, and has no nostalgia for family affairs.

"Okay, in this case, then we respect your wishes. Now there are a total of three people who can participate in the election of heirs, Takahashi Kenichi, Takahashi Yulan and Takahashi Shirakawa."

The reason why Takahashi Yukisaburo put Shirakawa in it was, first, because he saw the power behind him, and second, he thought that he chose this time to return to the family because he must have an idea about the position of the head of the family.

The Takahashi family believes that the future is always in the hands of young people. The heads of the family will always be chosen from the youngest generation, and their age will not exceed 20 years old. The youngest head of the family was only 14 years old. They usually serve as heads of the family for 10 to 30 years and then pass the position on.
