Chapter 70: Resolving the Sato Family Matter
The next day, Yafeng took Xue Xiang, Ye Shuyu and Haiyeshi to the Sato house together.
Standing at the gate of the Sato family, Yafeng stopped for a moment and then looked at Setsuna and asked: "Setsuna, once we leave today, there's no turning back. From now on, you will no longer be a member of the Sato family. Are you willing?"
Her eyes were brimming with hot tears, but she nodded firmly nonetheless.
Yah Feng and Ye Shu Yu both smiled with relief.
When I entered the living room of the Sato's house, Mr. and Mrs. Sato as well as Satō Tsumugi were all there.
"Hello, Mr. Sato!" Yafeng greeted politely.
"What are you doing coming to our house?" Sato Sayori asked with a look of disgust and wariness.
"Ah, I know Miss Sato is not me," said Yafeng with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth. "However, we have an unavoidable reason for coming today." After finishing speaking, Yafeng looked straight at Mr. Sato and said: "Mr. Sato, the reason we came today is to take back Xue Sha's guardianship from you."
Mr. Sato was taken aback, looking at Setsuna with some incredulity, while Setsuna avoided his gaze.
"Miss Sanada, Yukina is a child of the Sato family, so it's only natural that we Satos have custody. Isn't your current demand rather forcing things on us?"
Yafeng raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Mr. Sato, are you sure that what you did to Xuesha sister before was up to a father's responsibility?"
Mr. Sato's face stiffened immediately, but it was Mrs. Sato, who had been silent until now, who stood up and said, "Tinada-san, even if my husband hadn't taken good care of Setsuna before, she is still his biological daughter after all. And it was also my husband who paid for her living expenses until now. Don't you think it's too much to ask him to give up his parental rights like this?"
"Biological daughter?!" Ye Shu repeated coldly with a sneer, "Mrs. Sato is really amusing, what you did to Xue Xian before was also something that should be done to a biological daughter?"
"Excuse me, miss, who are you and what right do you have to interfere with our family's affairs?" Mrs. Sato retorted immediately.
"Mrs. Sato, Shu Yu's sister is my friend and the closest person to Xue Sha for the past decade, why can't she speak?" Ya Feng's tone turned cold and hard.
"Sato Sayaka saw this and coldly said: 'Sato Yukisora, do you think Toda Yamakaze really wants to help you? I'll tell you, no, she's trying to trick you out of the Sato family. As long as you're not a daughter of the Sato family, you won't be qualified to marry Nintama-sama again. She first used your hand to ruin my wedding with Nintama-sama and then tricked you out of the Sato family. All this is because she wants to become Nintama-sama's new bride.'"
Yasaka laughed even colder after hearing Sato Sayori's words, and she said faintly: "Miss Sato's imagination is really good, it's a waste not to be a screenwriter. Who says that Shesha can't marry Yuushi again after leaving the Sato family? I'm doing this so that she'll have the qualifications to marry Yuushi in the future. Do you think your Sato family still has a chance to become relatives with the Shinotsu family after what happened yesterday?"
Satō Tsugumi was momentarily at a loss for words, but she immediately retorted: "That can't be. The Nintsuma lady has an agreement with our family; surely they won't go back on their word?"
"The Nino family would never go back on their word, but the engagement between the Nino family and the Kyoto Ito family's only daughter has already been decided. Snow Sister will always be Yūshi Brother's fiancée no matter where she is. As for your Satō family trying to substitute themselves in her place, you absolutely don't have the qualifications. This is also why I want Mr. Satō to give up his guardianship of Snow Sister. Only when Snow Sister leaves the Satō family will she be able to marry Yūshi Brother. As for what you said earlier about wanting to marry Yūshi Brother, sorry but it's not possible. It hasn't been publicly announced yet, but I'm actually the Nino family's adopted daughter and Yūshi Brother's adoptive younger sister."
Satō Saya looked at Yafū with an incredulous face, and then Satō's wife reacted and said directly: "Impossible, we will never give up the custody of Setsuna."
Yasaka gazed coldly at Mrs. Sato for a moment before turning to Kanae and saying, "Kanae, bring me the document your father signed."
"After taking the file from Kaito's hand, Yafeng said to Mr. Sato: 'Mr. Sato, I'm not here to discuss with you today, I'm here to inform you that regardless of whether you agree or not, I will take custody of Xiaoya, this is the application for guardianship signed by the head of the Kaito family, if you have thought it through now, please sign here, if you don't sign, I won't mind taking this file to court and let's see how the judge rules.'"
The Sato family's faces changed dramatically, and after yesterday's incident, the Sato family can no longer afford to have any more scandals. Otherwise, the Sato Group would be in danger. However, Satō Yukina is also a pawn that they cannot give up on at this time. As long as Satō Yukina is still in the Sato family, their alliance with the Shinoda family still has hope, and the Sato Group's revival also has hope. But now, Masakazu's move has undoubtedly pushed them into a dilemma where they are unable to advance or retreat.
"Yuki, I know we've wronged you all these years, but after all, we are your family. Are you really going to cut ties with us?" Mr. Sato suddenly looked at Yuki with a warm gaze.
Yexiu's eyebrows furrowed, and she immediately pulled Xue Xiang behind her back. With a look of disgust, she said: "Mr. Sato, you don't have to pretend anymore. Xue Xiang won't be swayed by your words. If you really consider Xue Xiang as your daughter, then sign this guardianship transfer document."
Mr. Sato frowned slightly, filled with disgust towards Ye Shu Yu, who suddenly appeared and ruined his good deed.
"Mr. Sato, we're both sensible people, so there's no need to continue with this charade. Although I'm just a junior, since I've taken charge of this matter, I'll see it through to the end. I'm sure you're also aware of who our family's lawyer is. I think you wouldn't want to deal with him every day in the future either?"
"Mrs. Sato looked at Yafeng coldly and said, 'Miss Tiana, my Sato family has no grudges with you in the past or present, but now you're trying to force us so hard, isn't that a bit too much? Although my Sato family is not as powerful as your Tiana family, we are not easy to bully either. Can your behavior today really represent the Tiana family?'"
"Is Mrs. Sato suspecting me?" Yafeng glanced at Mrs. Sato with disdain and then said to Kaino Shizuka, "Shizuka, take out the letter of introduction from the Toda family that Grandfather signed yesterday and let Mrs. Sato see it, so she can see if I am qualified to represent the Toda family."
"Yes."
Only to see Haiye Jing took out two papers from a folder, one was the true Tianjia adjustment order with the signature of Zhen Tian Xuan Youwei, and the other was the adjustment order of Renzu Jia with the signature of Renzu Lao Yezi. With these two orders, Yafeng can freely mobilize the vassals and enterprises under the True Tian and Renzu families.
Mr. Sato and Mrs. Sato turned pale after seeing the two transfer orders, while Yasukaze said carelessly: "Mr. Sato, I believe you also don't want to fight a lawsuit with the Shinoda family's lawyer on one hand, and face business pressure from both the Shinoda and Shinotsu families on the other hand?"
"Alright, I'll sign," said Mr. Sato, gritting his teeth and closing his eyes.
Yahfeng raised a triumphant smile and said, "Is that right? Anyway, you've never truly treated Xuesha as your own daughter. Wouldn't it be better to hand her over to another family who's willing to raise her?"
Satō Sayori didn't think her father would compromise like this. Once Satō-san signed the contract, she would never have the chance to marry into the Shinotsu family again. However, she couldn't say anything else and could only glare at Yafū with anger, saying venomously: "Satō Yukisora, don't think that just because you left the Satō family, you can marry Shinotsu-sama. Kaino Shizuka also likes Shinotsu-sama. Do you think the head of the Kaino family would give his own daughter to marry into the Shinotsu family or a half-bred, unrelated, abandoned girl like you marrying Shinotsu-sama?"
Yah Feng glanced coldly at Sato Sayori and said, "These things don't need to trouble Miss Sato, who Yuzei brother marries in the future is his own freedom, not someone wants him to marry then he will marry, let alone how do you know Jing's heart belongs to Yuzei brother?"
Kaiyō Shizuka said after Yafeng finished speaking: "Shizuka is willing to spend her whole life following Miss Yafeng, and dare not have any other extravagant hopes."
Satou Saya could only stomp her feet on the carpet and couldn't say anything provocative anymore.
After Mr. Sato signed the guardianship transfer document, Yafeng's heart finally fell to the ground.
"In that case, we won't disturb you anymore." Yafeng said with a slight smile and polite tone.
Mr. Sato and Mrs. Sato, although they hated Yafeng extremely, could only force themselves to smile and see him off at this time.
As he was about to walk out of the Sato's gate, Yafeng suddenly turned his head and said to Mr. Sato: "By the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you, Mr. Sato. I remember that the original capital of the Sato family came from Shesha's mother's natal family, the Ito family. So, I will ask our lawyer to calculate the share that belongs to Shesha and send it to you, Mr. Sato. Hopefully, when the time comes, you can be as generous as today, otherwise, we'll have to meet in court."
Sato's family's face turned white and then immediately turned green. Yafeng and Yeshu both knew how unhappy they were.
