Tokyo: This narration is wrong!

Therefore, Qian Xueye has always cared about her identity. Is it because of herself?

Is she working so hard just to be with herself?

It's like I have been working hard and moving in her direction.

"I'm willing to drop everything and elope with you, are you willing?"

Bai Chuan stretched out his hand and invited Qian Xueye.

Qian Xueye glanced at him and found that he was not lying.

But as the heir to the consortium, how could she just leave? Chiyuki Yuuto and the entire Chiyuki family, and even the Akagi family, would not let them go.

Do you want to spend this life on the run?

This is not a way she can accept. She is more willing to face difficulties head-on than to escape.

If Shirakawa is an incompetent person, he cannot cancel the engagement with Chihiro Akagi.

If he were an incompetent person, he would not be able to inherit the Qianxue Consortium's family business.

Then, elopement may be a good choice.

But they are neither.

"Why should I give up everything? I should bring everything I have to walk towards you under the spotlight. Don't you have confidence?"

Qian Xueye looked at Bai Chuan and asked firmly.

"Okay, then I will also stand at the highest place, waiting for my bride to come to me."

Bai Chuan took Qian Xueye's hand and kissed it gently, "May we enter each other's future."

"good."

Qian Xueye nodded.

The two walked into the banquet hall together.

Shirakawa saw Watanabe Kazuhiro's mother. Although his mother was already in her forties, she still had charm and was a rare middle-aged beautiful woman.

The way Watanabe Kazuhiro looked at his mother was indeed different from others. He couldn't hide the look in his eyes when he really liked someone.

Of course, this can only be discovered by Shirakawa, who is observant and meticulous.

[Haruko Watanabe: Intelligence 8, Charisma 8, Physical Strength 4, Age 45, Characteristics: Deeply scheming, gentle and considerate, and will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals.

Weakness: Son Kazuhiro Watanabe. 】

Well, these mother and son are the same kind of people, they are both people who will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

The girl wearing a white dress next to Watanabe Haruko was beautiful, but she was not from the Watanabe family. Her name was Itagaki Yoshiko. Shirakawa remembered that he had seen her on the news. She was a young philanthropist with a great reputation. very good.

Not far away stood a handsome man wearing a black tuxedo. That was Watanabe Shinichi, half brother of Watanabe Kazuhiro.

Next to Shinichi Watanabe was his father Yoshio Watanabe. The father and son were chatting about something and had a great time.

In addition, there were several brothers from the Watanabe family who were also at the banquet, and they were entertaining the guests with ease.

It can be seen that it is not a simple matter for Watanabe Kazuhiro to obtain the identity of the Watanabe family heir, but this has nothing to do with Shirakawa.

His eyes returned to his female companion Qian Xueye, and he gently brushed the leaves from her hair.

I think it fell from the tree when I was resting in the garden just now.

"Look, Takahashi-san is there."

Fujiwara Keynosuke and Inoue Nobusumi were also guests invited to the banquet. When they saw Shirakawa and Qian Yueye walking in together, they came over excitedly.

"Qian Xuesang, good evening."

They had already heard about the beauty of Chiyuki Mei, but this noble lady, like Chihiro Akagi, rarely attended such banquets, so theoretically, this was the first time they saw Chiyuki Mei.

Both of them had seen countless women, but they were still stunned.

Even standing in a banquet filled with beauties, Qian Xueye still made people feel like she stood out from the crowd.

"Fujiwara-san, Inoue-san, good evening."

Qian Xueye said calmly.

Although she did not often attend such gatherings, she knew them. As long as there was information about aristocrats on the wealth list, Qianxue Yuuto would have tutors spread the information to the children of the family as early as possible.

As key members of their respective families, Fujiwara Keynosuke and Inoue Nosumi's information is naturally included.

"We thought Takahashi-san would become estranged from Qianxue-san because of what happened last time, but we didn't expect that your relationship is still so good."

Fujiwara Keynosuke leaned into Shirakawa's ear and said enviously.

"Because Qian Xuesang has a good temper."

Bai Chuan praised.

He didn't lie either, Qianxue Meiyi did have a good temper.

"Can I ask you to dance?"

Inoue Nobucheng stretched out his hand and invited Qian Xueye.

Baichuan immediately stopped between the two of them, "Sorry, Inoue-san, Qianxue-san's first dance must be with me."

"Haha, okay, okay, Takahashi-san, please go first."

Inoue Nobuzumi smiled awkwardly.

Bai Chuan held Qian Xueye's hand and slowly entered the dance floor.

The lights in the villa also became dim to match the soft jazz music.

Baichuan and Qianxueye leaned against each other and danced quietly.

The lovers beside them also gradually moved closer to each other in the ambiguous atmosphere, kissing passionately.

There is a sweet smell in the air, and ballroom dancing is an excellent way to get closer to each other during a dinner party.

However, just as everyone was immersed in the harmonious atmosphere of the banquet, a piercing scream broke the originally peaceful banquet.

"ah--"

Men screamed.

Everyone's attention was focused on Watanabe Kazuhiro.

The female partner who was dancing with him a second ago, Miss Itagaki Yoshiko, has now fallen to the ground.

"Miss Itagaki? What's wrong with Miss Itagaki?"

"Watanabe-kun, Watanabe-kun, are you okay?"

People gathered around.

Shirakawa and Chiyuki also saw Itagaki Yoshiko lying on the ground.

Shirakawa immediately squatted down to check Itagaki Yoshiko's body and asked everyone not to gather so close.

"Miss Itagaki is dead. The cause of death is cardiac arrest."

"How could this happen?"

Watanabe Kazuhiro asked with a look of astonishment.

Others also looked at him with surprise or sympathy.

"Watanabe-kun, I'm sorry."

Fujiwara Kazunosuke patted Watanabe Kazuhiro on the shoulder.

In fact, the purpose of this banquet was not just a gathering of noble families, but mainly to announce the engagement of Watanabe Kazuhiro and Itagaki Yoshiko.

Although Itagaki Yoshiko's family was just an ordinary middle-class family, not an aristocrat, her life resume was very perfect. She was an excellent student since childhood and was sent abroad to study. She had obtained a double degree at a young age, and her mentor was a famous scientist.

In addition, she had a beautiful appearance and many suitors.

She also liked to do charity work on weekdays and was a well-known philanthropist.

Watanabe Kazuhiro's engagement with her was arranged by Watanabe's father.

Watanabe Kazuhiro's father, Watanabe Ryosuke, walked through the crowd.

He slapped Watanabe Kazuhiro in the face.

"You can't even protect your fiancée, what else can you do."

"I'm sorry, father."

Watanabe Kazuhiro lowered his head, like a child who had made a mistake.

Watanabe Haruko slowly walked to his son, patted his shoulder, and comforted him silently.

At this time, Itagaki Yoshiko's parents rushed into the crowd, hugged their daughter's body and cried.

They were just tasting delicious food, and they didn't expect their daughter to die at the engagement party.

Seeing the crowd gathered on one side, they came over belatedly, but they didn't expect this to happen.

"Yako, Yoshiko, don't scare Dad, Yoshiko, wake up."

"Woo, woo, Yoshiko, mom is here, Yoshiko, open your eyes and look at mom."

"Who is it? Who did it?"

The angry Itagaki father questioned.

He originally thought that his daughter would allow him to enter the real upper class, but he didn't expect that what he got in return was not wealth and glory, but the death of his son.

What was even more unacceptable was that the person who died was her mother, Mrs. Itagaki. Mrs. Itagaki was a piano teacher. Her wish was to let her daughter have a good life. She never thought about becoming richer through her daughter. She was a loving mother.

Itagaki's sister, Miko Itagaki, also sobbed softly.

"Itagaki-san, don't be too sad. This is an accident."

Watanabe Ryoo said.

Mr. Itagaki looked up at Watanabe Ryoo and said excitedly,

"Kakako has always been in good health. How could such an accident happen? Someone must have poisoned her. This is poisoning, this is poisoning."

Watanabe Ryoo looked around and found Shirakawa in the crowd.

"Takahashi, can you help investigate this matter?"

Special Advisor Shirakawa's reputation has resounded throughout the island country, especially the outbreak of the Spring Sakura Island incident.

Even big capitalists like Watanabe Ryoo knew this young detective.

"You don't have to worry about the commission fee."

"Yes, Mr. Itagaki, don't worry, Takahashi is here. Mr. Itagaki will definitely help you find the real murderer."

Inoue Nobusumi comforted.

Watanabe Ryoto looked at his younger brother Watanabe Kazuhiro and said sarcastically,

"Is it because some people don't want to marry Miss Itagaki that they do this on purpose?"

He is the youngest son of Watanabe Ryoo, and he and Watanabe Kazuhiro are also half-siblings.

Watanabe Ryoo married three wives, each of whom gave birth to a boy for him. Watanabe Haruko is his third wife, and Watanabe Kazuhiro is his youngest son.

"What are you talking about? How could Kazuhiro do such a thing."

Watanabe Shinichi said sternly.

Watanabe Ryoto snorted coldly, "Hypocrisy, pretending to be brothers and sisters."

As everyone knows, the relationship between the three sons of the Watanabe family is not good, because they are eyeing the position of the heir, which is a direct conflict of interest.

As for the other illegitimate children, they have no right to inherit the family business at all, so they have always been peripheral personnel.

In such occasions, they will not say too much.

Watanabe Ryoo is still very young, and he hopes that Watanabe Haruko can give birth to another son for him, because he is not satisfied with these three sons.

"Speaking of which, Watanabe-kun is indeed suspected of murder. No matter how you think about it, Miss Itagaki is not worthy of Watanabe-kun, and marrying Miss Itagaki means that Watanabe-kun will not be able to become the heir of the Watanabe family."

"Yes, the heir of the Watanabe family should marry a family with a similar family background in order to consolidate his position. If Watanabe-kun marries Miss Itagaki, won't he completely lose the chance to be the heir?"

"According to what you said, other people are also suspected. They can kill Miss Itagaki just because they want to frame Watanabe-kun, and Watanabe-kun will be affected to some extent."
