The atmosphere was electric as news spread that the master, the eldest daughter, and the renowned star Tawanna were on their way. Everyone around was filled with excitement.


    While the presence of Fei Kexin’s good friend surprised many, it was clear that a friend is still just a friend, and the absence of Fei Kexin herself was noted. The individual arriving was a significant figure in Japan—the head of the Mitsui family, Mitsui Yoshitaka.


    Mitsui Yoshitaka was known for his low-profile demeanor, amon trait among the Mitsui family sessors. He typically refrained from attending suchrge events. However, this time, he made an exception out of his deep affection for his daughter, who was an ardent fan of Tawanna. Naturally, as a devoted father, he feltpelled to be more involved.


    Momentster, several bodyguards dressed in ck led the way for a middle-aged couple in their fifties, apanied by a young woman in her early twenties with a distinct two-dimensional style.


    Following closely behind them was a white couple—the woman was none other than the famous Tawanna Sweet, and her boyfriend, the muscr professional baseball yer Trevor Kennedy, sported a mustache. As soon as the five of them entered the venue, apuse erupted from the guests, and cheers filled the air, with many excitedly calling out “Mr. Mitsui!” and “Ms. Sweet!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    It was clear that Mitsui Yoshitakamanded the same level of respect as the leader of the Samsung family in Korea. Those who encountered him treated him with the utmost reverence. Meanwhile, Tawanna Sweet’s fame drew numerous enthusiastic fans to the event, including ire and Loreen.


    Interestingly, while the Mitsui family appeared genuinely happy and smiling, Tawanna and Trevor wore frowns, looking somewhat dejected and troubled.


    At that moment, Sasaki Sachiko turned to Charlie Wade and the others, saying, “This couple is Mr. Mitsui Yoshitaka and his wife, Mitsui Masa, and the girl next to them is their only daughter, Mitsui Xinmei.”


    Loreen, intrigued, asked, “The head of such a prominent family has only one child?”


    “That’s quite normal,” Sasaki Sachiko replied. “In recent years, fewer Japanese people are choosing to have children. Many schools in Japan have more teachers than students, and some even have only single-digit enrollment numbers. The trend may continue to decline.”


    Loreen nodded, saying, “I see the connection to the low birth rate. It seems young people in Japan and South Korea are less inclined to start families. It’s surprising that a wealthy family wouldn’t want to have more children, as we often associate wealth withrger families.”


    She continued, “Honestly, I don’t mean to sound biased, but with such a vast family business, wouldn’t they want a son to inherit it?”


    “Not at all,” Sasaki Sachiko shook her head. “In upper-ss Japanese families, having daughters is increasingly preferred over having sons. It’s a cultural shift.”


    “Really?” Loreen eximed, even more surprised. “What’s behind that?”


    Sasaki Sachiko exined quietly, “In Japan, not having a son isn’t seen as an issue. As long as you have a daughter, her husband can join her family. When he does, he usually adopts herst name. This arrangement makes it simr to having a son in terms of family lineage. After all, a family business isn’t typically handed down to just one person. Even if the son-inw takes over, he will manage it for his own children, ensuring that the family business remains within the family name through generations.”


    Then, Sasaki Sachiko added, “Moreover, having a son is like ying the lottery. While it may be easy to have a son, finding a capable one is much harder. The odds of having a son who can manage a trillion-dor fortune are slimmer than winning the lottery. In contrast, when ites to finding a son-inw, if you have a daughter and a significant fortune, you can choose from a pool of outstanding candidates—few can resist such a tempting offer. It’s akin to what the Japanese often say: having a son who can get into the University of Tokyo is incredibly challenging, but recruiting a son-inw from there is as simple as closing your eyes and picking any boy.” <fn3544> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? find(?)ovel</fn3544>
