After noticing this gaze, the latter nodded in understanding, slowed down, and controlled the car to merge into the relatively less crowded lane.
"Does that mean I'll get to know a lot of people?"
Watanabe Yu took over the conversation, and at the same time he organized the words in his mind, he also had questions to ask him.
"Yes, but not entirely."
Beichen Ichiro shook his head.
"This dinner is hosted by Yasuhara Electric Co., Ltd. Due to its influence, many people from different circles came to this dinner. Compared with the first dinner I took you to, there are many more well-known people. However, your status is no longer the same as before. In their eyes, you are a real hot commodity."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Watanabe Yu very seriously.
"A hot commodity?"
Watanabe Yu met his gaze and frowned, somewhat not understanding the meaning of these three words.
"Norwegian Wood is a phenomenal work, written by a phenomenal author. No one in this circle would complain about knowing too many people. For you, the Naoki Prize is more than just an admission ticket."
Beichen Ichiro didn't make his words very clear.
Many authors with social influence are natural voting bases and are also the targets of many people who want to develop in that direction.
"The situation from last time won't happen again, right?"
There was a hint of worry in Watanabe Yu's eyes.
"Don't be nervous, it's unlikely." Beichen Ichiro explained, "There are a lot of people coming this time, and everyone wants to save face, so they won't rush in like before."
"That's good." Watanabe Yuu paused for a moment and changed the subject, "However, you said there are a lot of people coming. Will people from the Amamiya family come too?"
"meeting."
Hearing the words "Amemiya family", Beichen Ichiro frowned instinctively.
"Can you tell me about the details of the Amamiya family?" Watanabe Yu finally asked this question, "From Amamiya Teppei to the current head of the Amamiya family."
"There's nothing to talk about Amamiya Teppei. He's just a puppet of that woman." Beichen Ichiro sneered and shook his head, "Besides, that woman has a plan that is really loud. She wants her son to inherit the Amamiya family.
"But that's impossible."
"Why do you say that?"
Watanabe Yu was a little surprised.
According to what the Saint Lady had told him before, Teppei Amamiya is now in the Amamiya family and should be the one with the best chance of becoming the successor.
"The current head of the Amamiya family is Amamiya Masao, 45 years old this year, and was originally the second son of the Amamiya family."
Beichen Ichiro continued, "When he was young, he graduated from the University of Tokyo with honors. After graduation, he joined the family company and worked his way up from the bottom to the top. Almost everyone in the positions he held thought he was very good.
"——It wasn't flattery, because he used a pseudonym when he was doing his internship.
"When he was 27 years old, he married my sister and thus gained the right to inherit the family.
"When he was 29, Ayana was born. That same year, he had an affair with the woman he was with. The following year, the woman gave birth to a child for him.
“Then, at the age of 32, he succeeded as the head of the Amamiya family.
"Do you think a man like this will hand over his position to Teppei Amamiya? While he is still in good health?"
He turned his eyebrows away and looked at Watanabe Yu.
"will not."
Watanabe Yu shook his head without even thinking about it.
"Do you think he loves that woman?"
There was a hint of amusement in Beichen Ichiro's tone.
"...It's hard to define." Watanabe Yu shook his head. "Your playful tone tells me that he may not have the emotion of 'love'."
"Yes." Beichen Ichiro nodded, "You are very clear-headed, he doesn't love anyone, he only loves himself, and everything is based on his own interests as the primary goal.
"In other words..."
He didn't finish his words, but raised his eyebrows, signaling Watanabe Yu to continue.
"To anyone who is useful to him, he will act kind, gentle, and generous. But to those who are useless to him, he will act differently. Is that what you mean?"
Watanabe Yu sighed in his heart.
"Yes." Beichen Yilang looked like a teachable kid, "He knew what the woman wanted from the beginning to the end, but he didn't point it out. The woman also knew that he knew it, but she didn't point it out either.
"The 'family' they formed does not have the so-called 'love' at all, and it cannot be called a 'family' at all.
"That place is really...exaggerated."
He smacked his lips, disgust visible between his brows.
"...And Ayana stayed here alone?"
Watanabe Yu's tone unconsciously turned cold.
"Yes, I mentioned to her before that I would take her back, but she refused." Beichen Yilang retracted his gaze and looked out the window, with deep self-blame in his eyes, "She said that she has no home for a long time, and her only thought now is to make them pay the price.
“This is also the force that supports her to move forward.
"Before she met you, she rarely smiled."
He rolled down the rear window, and hot wind rushed into the car.
In the reflection of dusk, the sky in the distance was as red as blood.
"She sees you as her spiritual support. She told me that she had someone to confide her grievances to. I was very happy at that time, and then... a few days ago, she told me that she blamed herself and was afraid that you would get involved in the dispute in the Amemiya family. That would only make you get deeper and deeper. Those people are very difficult to deal with."
Beichen Ichiro let out a breath and closed the car window.
Amemiya Ayana did not tell him any reason, she just simply said this to him.
"……I see."
Watanabe Yuu fell silent.
"The Amemiya family is indeed difficult to deal with." Beichen Ichiro paused and said sincerely, "If you want to quit, that's fine too. Just turn a blind eye."
"You don't have to provoke me by saying something sarcastic."
Watanabe Yu waved his hand impatiently.
"I don't mean to provoke you, I'm just being honest." Beichen Ichiro chuckled, "Okay, I've said what Ayana wanted me to say. What do you think?"
"I'm already in the car, what do you think of me?"
Watanabe Yu asked back.
"Oh, I thought you would be scared?"
Beichen Ichiro breathed a sigh of relief.
Those words just now were what Amemiya Ayana had repeatedly asked him to convey this morning. Her niece really didn't want to involve Watanabe Yu.
But when he listened, he felt really bad.
He even thought that he had adjusted his mood, but when he was retelling it just now, that resentful anger came out again.
If Watanabe Yu was really so cowardly, he would leave him on the side of the road without hesitation and let him walk back by himself.
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid of the Amemiya family."
Beichen Ichiro paused.
"The previous incident with Teppei Amamiya was because Amamiya Masao knew about it and I had a backup plan, so I turned a blind eye to it. But if you get in front of him, it will be a different matter, such as in an occasion like today."
"So what?"
Watanabe Yu asked back.
He is not afraid of good luck, so why would he be afraid of this?
Since fate has given him a chance to start over, he should destroy the obstacles on the road with an overwhelming force, clear away the worries and concerns in the Saint's heart, and tell her that she can rely on him without worry.
Besides, he said he wanted to be a pure love god of war.
If you are afraid of this, why do you want to be a pure love god? You might as well wear dungarees and play basketball, or change your name, find a snow leopard friend, and make a cameo appearance with innocent eyes.
"..."
Beichen Ichiro suddenly smiled with relief.
Ayana's taste is indeed better than most girls.

Chapter 155 Her Backer [8K8]
Unlike in the past, this dinner was not held in a star-rated hotel, but in the Anyuan family's manor.
After getting out of the car, Watanabe Yu and Kitano Ichiro showed the invitation letter and walked into the villa under the guidance of the waiter.
The three of them passed through the main gate and walked along the corridor leading to the dinner venue.
Watanabe Yuu walked, looking around curiously.
Frankly speaking, the size of this manor was beyond his imagination.
——Even when they were in the car, Beichen Ichiro had already explained to him in advance how big the area of the manor was, which famous designer designed it, how long it took to build, and so on.
But compared to seeing it with your own eyes, just listening to the written description is always a little less interesting.
"Speaking of which, does the Amamiya family have a manor like this?"
Watanabe Yu slowed down his pace and asked in a low voice.
The European-style courtyard outside the corridor was reflected in his eyes.
Under the illumination of lawn lamps, the well-trimmed plants have an indescribable beauty. Walking along the path, you can see the open pavilion. The warm light scattered in the pavilion adds a sense of leisure and tranquility.
"No, they don't have such a large piece of land."
Beichen Ichiro shook his head without even thinking about it.
The Yasuhara family is one of the top five big names in the circle. Comparing the Yasuhara family with the Amemiya family somewhat lowers the latter's grade.
"Half is enough, right?"
Watanabe Yuu asked.
"That's not the case. Two-thirds is correct."
Beichen Ichiro shook his head.
The strength of a family in a circle will be reflected in where they live. For example, the manors of the top five old families are bigger and bigger, while those of the later ones are getting smaller and smaller.
On the one hand, everyone abides by this unspoken rule that one should do things according to one's status and position. On the other hand, the land price and location are there, and sometimes, having money alone cannot solve the problem.
"understood."
Watanabe Yu nodded thoughtfully.
During the conversation, the waiter had already led the two through the corridor and came to the path leading to the back lawn.
Compared to before, there are obviously more people around now. Many men in suits are mixed together, divided into circles with clear sizes and distances.
As he passed by them, Watanabe Yu paid attention to what they were talking about.
It was not much different from what he had imagined. It was nothing more than current politics, each other's business, and women. The sound of wine glasses clinking gently mixed with the sound of laughter and conversation, and he subconsciously quickened his pace.
Ichiro Kitano noticed Watanabe Yu's micro-expression.
He chuckled in his heart, but didn't show it on his face.
After walking about two or three hundred meters, under the guidance of the waiter, they crossed the path and arrived at their destination.
What caught Watanabe Yu's eyes was a magnificent building with golden splendor.
Although it only has one floor, its area is incredible. At first glance, it is more than twice the size of the banquet hall of the star-rated hotel he had visited before.
