Chapter: 1474
Ito NaNa nodded and said, "Twenty days already."
Kobayashi Ichiro asked again, "Don't know if Miss Ito has had a good time playing around in Jinling? This city is still very beautiful."
Ito NaNa asked calmly, "Mr. Kobayashi has been to Jinling before?"
"Oh, it's the first time," Kobayashi Ichiro sighed and said, "To be honest, Jinling is a sorrowful place for me. If it weren't because Miss Ito was participating in the competition here, even if this city were beautiful again, I wouldn't have come."
Ito NaNa asked in surprise, "Mr. Kobayashi, how can you say that?"
Kobayashi Ichiro pretended to be sad and said, "I have a brother who is a great villain. His mind was possessed by evil spirits, and he used poison to kill our common father......"
"We Kobayashi family launched a pursuit order to clear our family name after my father's death. My brother was killed by bounty hunters in Jinling recently, and I even don't know where his corpse is buried now......"
Ito NaNa didn't expect that Kobayashi Ichiro's older brother had died in Jinling, so she said apologetically, "Excuse me, Mr. Kobayashi, but I accidentally mentioned your sad story."
Kobayashi Ichiro quickly waved his hand and spoke seriously, "Don't worry about it. Although this matter is heartbreaking, Miss Ito is not a stranger. I can tell you and ease my heart's sadness......"
Ito NaNa thought of her own brother Kobayashi Ichirou, but in reality, Kobayashi Ichiro wasn't sad at all; instead, he was very happy.
The concept of inheritance in Japan is deeply rooted.
Regardless of which family, the ultimate inheritor of the family business will always be the eldest son, even if his ability is not as good as that of a younger brother or other sons. He will still become the head of the family and let others with abilities assist him.
Originally, Kobayashi Ichiro's fate was to support his older brother Kobayashi Ichirou after their father's death, helping Kobayashi Ichirou develop the Kobayashi pharmaceutical company and promote the Kobayashi family.
Even if his ability surpasses that of his older brother or his achievements are greater, he will still follow Japan's principles of seniority.
If he dares to snatch the inheritance rights from his own elder brother, it would become an outrageous existence in the eyes of Japanese society.
Unexpectedly, Kobayashi Ichirou's one reckless move actually gave up the family inheritance position to himself.
What's even more perfect is that he returned with a divine medicine that killed their shared father, directly solving the then-family head and their father, while also putting him on trial for parricide, giving himself a reason to kill his brother in the end.
To think about it, it's almost like sending someone's head from afar, bringing down the entire family along with it.
Killing this older brother is too costly.
That scoundrel named Wang asked me for 1 billion yuan upfront.
And that 1 billion yuan isn't Japanese yen, but Chinese currency!
This sum really made my skin crawl for a while.
However, I'm grateful to have extraordinary abilities. Recently, I led the development of Kobayashi Pharmaceutical's ancient Han medicine-based Stomach Powder, which has now become recognized as Japan's best stomach remedy.
This stomach medicine will be marketed globally in no time, and when that day comes, even if it's not 10 billion yuan, but 100 billion or 1 trillion yuan, I wouldn't even bat an eye.
And besides, if I can marry Ito Na-na, become the son-in-law of the Ito family, Kobayashi Pharmaceutical would gain more support and achieve faster development. JrNovels.com
