No matter how reckless Xiangzi is, she is still the sole heir of the Toyokawa family and doesn't need to be subservient to anyone.
Kiyoko, who only changed his surname to Toyokawa after marrying into the family, simply couldn't grasp this point.
Xiangzi took a step forward, his eyes cold, making Toyokawa Kiyoko feel as if he were standing in front of his "father".
The white-haired old man often said to him: "Seigo, you still haven't learned how to be a decent member of the Toyokawa family."
“Now, Dad, please apologize for your past reckless remarks!” Xiangzi said as if giving a command.
Toyokawa Kiyoko's face turned ashen, completely losing the imposing aura he had displayed earlier. He had actually been overwhelmed by his daughter's presence and even forced to apologize.
Xiangzi turned his head slightly and said to Banami, "I told you, I would make up for the harm I caused you."
Even if the harm was not her intention.
A warm feeling rose in Banami's heart, and her nose tingled slightly.
His childhood sweetheart has never changed; she has always been so stern and radiant.
"Apologize!" Xiangzi emphasized again.
Toyokawa Kiyoko, seemingly enraged, said, "You unfilial daughter!"
"You're just a live-in son-in-law, do you even know who I am?" Xiangzi retorted.
Just then, someone clapped their hands lightly and said, "Alright, alright, you two, stop it."
Toyokawa Kiyoshi looked at the woman not far away and said with some surprise, "Mizuho, why are you here?"
Xiangzi's mother, Toyokawa Mizuho, said with a smile, "Of course I'm here to clean up your mess."
Immediately, Toyokawa Kiyoko's face flushed slightly, but Mrs. Mizuho ignored her husband and said to Shoko, "Alright, you shouldn't have scolded your father like that just now. Shoko, apologize to Kiyoko."
Toyokawa Kiyoko's expression softened slightly.
Xiangzi replied calmly, "Unless Dad apologizes to Banami first."
"You?!" Toyokawa Kiyoshi's veins bulged again.
Mrs. Mizuho calmly replied, "Then I urge you to apologize to Xiaoxi first."
"Mizuho, how come even you?!" Toyokawa Kiyoko's eyes widened in surprise.
Xiangzi looked at his mother with slight surprise.
"I made Xiangzi apologize to you only because her attitude was problematic, but I don't think what she said was wrong."
I never said anything before because of your pride, even though Dad has explained it so clearly, but you still don't seem to understand.
You're already a member of the Toyokawa family. No matter how much you misbehave, what can anyone say? What you lack is precisely Xiangzi's confidence.
"What 'marrying someone of equal social standing'? That's laughable! If marrying someone of equal social standing were useful, would you still be standing here? I don't remember marrying a fool!"
He clearly married into the family himself, and then he tells his daughter that it's a good match. What kind of ridiculous logic is that? If the Toyokawa family really wanted to arrange a family marriage, would it be your turn?
After being scolded by his usually virtuous wife, Toyokawa Kiyoshi was a little depressed. However, after being glared at by his wife, he still reluctantly said to the boy, "I'm sorry, Xiaoxi, I shouldn't have said those things at your house back then."
Hearing this, Mrs. Mizuho seemed to nod in satisfaction, then said to Hanami, "Yuu, I'm so sorry you and Sho didn't end up together, but it's not bad that you're with my sister now, little brother-in-law~"
Whether it was Hatsune Miku, Shoko, Banami, or Toyokawa Kiyokazu, they all couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Holy crap, what was Mom (wife, aunt) saying that was terrifying?
But Mizuho didn't seem to intend to dwell on such old stories.
Instead, he looked at Xiangzi seriously and said, "Well, let's put that aside for now. Xiangzi, were you serious about what you just said?"
Even someone as rebellious as me only made your father a live-in son-in-law, and your grandmother was in a similar situation. But what you're going to do is much more difficult.
Xiangzi put on a serious expression and said, "The Toyokawa family keeps their word and never regrets their choices. Even if they regret it in the future, they will continue on the path they have chosen."
I am the heir to the Toyokawa family and will never shirk my responsibilities. But at the same time, I am also Yu's childhood friend and a maid in the Hanami family; I will always be by her side.
These outrageous words still caused Toyokawa Kiyoko's blood pressure to rise.
But Mizuho Toyokawa laughed and said, "Oh my, as expected of my daughter, she has real guts."
Xiangzi looked slightly surprised, but then Ruihui said, "Then it's decided. No matter what role you play, you'd better do it well. I'll talk to Dad, but I don't think he'll be angry."
"Honey, let's go. Let's spend two days at the island villa before heading back."
After saying this, Mrs. Mizuho dragged her husband away.
She didn't even ask for Hanami and Hatsune's opinions.
Perhaps this is part of Toyokawa's confidence: since my daughter is going to be your maid, whether you want to or not is not up to you.
Xiangzi slowly turned around, looked at Banami, and said softly, "From now on, I will have to take care of you, Master."
Xiangzi smiled with a happiness he had never shown before.
*****
As the sun and moon revolve, time flows like a song.
As dusk approached on the island, a beautiful woman dressed in a maid's outfit waited calmly at the entrance of the lower grades of the elementary school, occasionally attracting the attention of passersby.
Soon, the school bell rang, and a lively little girl with blonde hair ran out. When she saw the maid, her eyes lit up, and she jumped onto her.
"Xiao Xiang's mom, I'm out of school."
Still dressed in her maid outfit, Xiangzi had already acquired the mature demeanor of Mrs. Mizuho. She gently stroked the little girl's hair and asked, "Did you listen to your teacher at school today?"
"Of course, I got a perfect score today and received a little red flower," the little girl said proudly.
"Huayin-chan is amazing," the mature maid praised sincerely.
Just then, several children, including little boys and little girls, came to the two of them one after another.
The blonde little girl named Huayin jumped down again and said, "Xiangzi's mother, these are my friends. Nobody believes I have a maid mother. Hmph, they make me sound like a liar."
Xiangzi looked at the snotty-nosed children and said with a smile, "Hello everyone, I am Miss Huayin's maid, Toyokawa Xiangzi."
After saying that, she took out a handkerchief from her pocket, inside which were some cookies.
"Nice to meet you. These are cookies I baked myself. Please have some if you don't mind," Xiangzi said gently.
Xiao Huayin didn't stand on ceremony at all. She took a piece and started eating it with gusto, saying as she chewed, "Let me tell you, Xiao Xiang's mom makes super delicious cookies."
So these naive and greedy children each took a piece and ate it, their eyes lighting up.
"Wow, these cookies taste amazing!"
“Right, right?” Hua Yin said with a hint of pride.
"But...but isn't Aunt Xiangzi your maid? Why do you call her Mom?" a child asked, puzzled.
Hua Yin blinked and said, "Because, a mother is a mother, so why can't my maid be my mother?"
Hua Yin said matter-of-factly.
She has two mothers: one is her biological mother, but she is always busy, always traveling to islands to hold concerts with her father; the other is her maid mother.
Hua Yin thinks it's perfectly normal to have two mothers.
“But…but this is different from what’s shown in the TV series,” a child said.
"How is it different? Tell me!" Hua Yin said, hands on her hips, with a sharp and imposing aura.
One little boy was a bit indignant and said, "You said your maid's mother's family is very rich, but I asked my mother, and the maid is clearly employed by your family and paid by your family. How could she be richer than you?"
"Hmph, my parents have never given Xiangzi's mother any money. Besides, I've been to Xiangzi's mother's house. Her house is huge, much bigger than mine. My maid mother also has many maids serving her." Huayin said matter-of-factly.
"So Huayin, you really were lying. Aunt Xiangzi is definitely not your maid."
"Nonsense, Xiangzi's mother is my maid. What do you know, you little brat?"
"Damn it, we're the same age."
"Say that again and I'll beat you up." Hua Yin had already rolled up her sleeves.
It seems they use violence quite often.
She has the "simplicity" of a woman from an island.
Xiangzi stood beside the child, smiling as he watched her, but did not offer any rebuttal on Huayin's behalf.
Just then, several female security guards in serious suits came over and said, "Miss Toyokawa, Mrs. Mizuho said that there are some matters at the group that require you to go out and handle."
Suddenly, the maid's previously gentle demeanor changed abruptly, and she said indifferently, "Tell Mother that I'm going to the airport right now and have her prepare Huayin's favorite bear-shaped cookies."
Several female security guards bowed respectfully in unison and said, "Yes."
The children who had been questioning how a maid could possibly be richer than their family were immediately dumbfounded.
The world is too complicated, and they are just children.
Hua Yin continued, hands on her hips, looking smug, and said, "I wasn't lying, was I? My maid mom is much richer than my family."
Then, Xiangzi picked up Huayin and said, "Everyone, please allow me to take Miss Huayin away first. If there is time next time, I will ask Miss Huayin to invite everyone to the Banami family's house."
I'll bake cookies for everyone then.
The children didn't know what to say, but as long as they had cookies to eat, everything was fine.
Although some children come home and say, "Dad, can you find us a rich maid like Aunt Xiangzi?" their bottoms are practically spanked.
Xiangzi sat in the car, taking Huayin with him to the airport.
Hua Yin's eyes sparkled as she asked, "Hey, Xiangzi's mom, can I go to Tokyo too?"
Xiangzi placed the little girl on his lap and said softly, "Hatsune-chan and your father are currently holding a concert in Tokyo, so there's no one at home to take care of you."
"Oh, that means I can see Grandma Mizuho again! Yay!" the blonde little girl exclaimed happily.
Xiangzi gently stroked the little girl's hair, a happy smile on his face.
However, the next moment, Xiangzi gently covered his mouth with his hand and gagged twice.
The little girl asked with some concern, "Xiangzi's mother, are you alright?"
"It's nothing, don't worry." As he said this, a strange sense of happiness appeared on Xiangzi's face.
"Am I going to have a little brother soon?" the little girl asked bluntly.
Xiangzi's eyes widened slightly as he asked, "Who told you that?"
The little girl hummed twice: "You adults always think I don't understand anything, even though Daddy was made to sleep on the sofa by Mommy for a whole week last week."
Moreover, she also secretly saw that when her father was sleeping on the sofa, Xiao Xiang's mother was sitting next to him, gently holding his hand.
Although the little girl was too young to know what it was, she still felt that the scene was really beautiful.
"No, that's not it," Xiangzi said softly.
"Huh?!" The little girl looked very disappointed.
Xiangzi gently flicked her nose and said, "It could be, little sister."
On a private jet, the two women, who are both maids and heiresses, foster mothers and children, slowly ascend into the clouds.
Her name is Hanae Hachimi. She has one father and two mothers. Her parents are a famous celebrity duo. She also has a personal maid who is also her stepmother, someone who took care of her since she was a child. Moreover, her maid is very rich, much richer than her family, and owns a very large house. She is also a female CEO in Tokyo.
Well, no matter what she says, no one believes her.
This is one of the few worries a young girl has.
Chapter Fifteen: Win, win, win, and finally lose everything.
Xiangzi slowly opened her eyes and saw the boy's handsome face. Still a little groggy, she subconsciously said, "Good morning, Master."
Banami gave a half-smile, but still agreed: "You're awake, Maid Sho."
Yes, she is Xiao Xiang, the maid, the master's personal maid...
But soon, Xiangzi felt something was wrong. This Banami looked so fair-skinned, lacking that bronze complexion.
Hey, she's now...
Upon seeing the familiar bedroom, Xiangzi's previously rosy complexion gradually turned ashen, and then he revealed an expression of anger.
"Maid my foot! I'll get you, you bastard!" Xiangzi threw a punch, but the boy was used to it. Although he wasn't as strong as Tu Mu Xiao Xiang, he dodged the punches because he was afraid of getting hurt.
Xiangzi suddenly opened her eyes, about to give chase, when a blonde girl next to her said, "Ah, Saki-chan, don't do that, it's not Yu-kun's fault, it's just a fan creation."
Despite saying that, Hatsune Miku exudes a sacred, maternal radiance, like a hostess.
