Chapter 2661: Chapter 1656: Weight

Having finished her phone call, Fujiwara Reiki returned to the clan meeting area. As the only woman present and a person of central focus, she started to become absent-minded, even lapsing into a daze.

Of course.

No one dared to criticize.

Nor did they dare.

She was the current Clan Leader’s own younger sister, after all.

It was widely known that after the death of Clan Leader Fujimura Yu, and the peaceful transfer of power within the Fujiwara Family, the old Clan Leader’s legitimate children supported each other faithfully and were inseparable. Thanks to this, the power transition in the Fujiwara Family was remarkably smooth and peaceful.

The meeting lasted for more than two hours before it concluded.

After all, the Fujiwara Family was indeed a large and influential family, especially after experiencing the recent nationwide catastrophe. Rather than retreating, the Fujiwara Family advanced, becoming the undisputed leading family.

Of course.

Initially, there were quite a few criticisms against the Fujiwara Family regarding Fujiwara Reiki’s appointment as Chair of the Joint Development Committee. Driven by provocateurs, the Fujiwara Family was even labeled as "traitors to the country." However, this wave of criticism quietly subsided once the Fujiwara Family announced their alliance with the Imperial Family.

Wouldn’t that mean the Imperial Family was selling the country as well?

"Are you feeling unwell?"

After the meeting, when the clan members dispersed, Fujiwara Takuya, who now sat on the Clan Leader’s throne as he desired, immediately expressed concern for his sister.

The Fujiwara Family’s ability to "thrive" was largely due to his sister’s invaluable contributions.

"Maybe the meeting lasted too long, making me a bit sleepy."

Fujiwara Reiki, who had successfully broken through the narrow confines of traditional norms to take her place, propped her cheek, covered her lips with her hand, and elegantly yawned.

They were truly siblings.

If anyone else complained about a prolonged meeting, they would certainly face disciplinary action.

"Actually, you don’t necessarily have to attend. In the future, for meetings like these, if you don’t want to come, you don’t have to."

Fujiwara Takuya was very considerate, lacking the airs of a Clan Leader; after their father’s death, he not only took on the family burden but also never abandoned his duties as an elder brother.

"I noticed recently that you don’t seem to be in good spirits. Are you sick? Have you seen a doctor?"

Really.

Fujiwara Reiki did appear to be a bit plumper. Her radiant facial features seemed even more well-rounded.

"Thank you for caring, brother. I did see a doctor. As winter approached, I felt a bit weak, and the doctor advised me to drink more warm water."

Fujiwara Takuya smiled and nodded, "Your life event is approaching soon. You must take care of your health and ensure you’re in the best condition to make a glorious marriage. You will undoubtedly become the most beautiful bride in all of Japan."

Having completed the engagement ceremony with the Imperial Family, Fujiwara Reiki smiled shyly.

"Brother, you’re making me feel embarrassed with your compliments."

"Why be embarrassed? It’s an acknowledged fact. My sister is the most beautiful woman in Japan."

Beyond the desires, Fujiwara Takuya’s eyes showed nothing but pride and affection for his sister.

"Have you agreed on a date with Prince His Highness?"

"Reiki isn’t ready to rush things yet..."

Fujiwara Takuya laughed, "Nervous, right? We all go through this phase. You’ve been engaged to Prince His Highness for so long—it’s time. Many people are eagerly expecting this day."

"Is brother so eager to see Reiki get married?"

Like a teasing younger sister to her older brother.

"What do you mean get married? You’ll always be a part of the Fujiwara Family; this will always be your home."

If Fujimura Yu could see this scene from the heavens, he might feel that he had died for a worthy cause.

Even though he was "conspired against" and murdered by his two children, it resulted in family stability and sibling harmony.

So valuable.

"Brother."

Fujiwara Reiki called out softly, her eyes drifting, seemingly very moved. They might even have believed it themselves.

"Let me know the date once you’ve agreed on it with Prince His Highness. There are many things to arrange for the wedding ceremony."

"Okay."

"By the way, should Mr. Jiang be invited?"

Fujiwara Takuya inquired.

Fujiwara Reiki replied calmly and graciously, "I haven’t considered this matter yet."

"Perhaps we shouldn’t then."

Fujiwara Takuya tactfully suggested.

"No."

Within a very brief moment, Fujiwara Reiki seemed to have made up her mind, "Such an important day—how could we not invite him? He has provided Reiki with a lot of help. Reiki’s happiness deserves him to be present to witness it!"

What a pervert...

Knowing the inside story, Fujiwara Takuya wished he could tear the pair of adulterers to pieces.

He could guarantee.

That detestable Shen Zhou person had surely enjoyed the delicacy he had coveted since childhood.

Because he was also a man!

But unfortunately, he had no evidence.

Unlike the Sword of Damocles hanging over his head, which could bring him to ruin at any moment.

Even though he achieved his dream of sitting on the Clan Leader’s throne, he became a puppet. Since his ascension, he had been treading on thin ice.

But at the same time.

The sister who had undergone twenty years of ordeal from prey to hunter taught him.

Patience is imperative.

As long as one lives, there remains hope to turn the situation around!

"Since you believe he should be invited, then invite him. Just don’t be upset when the time comes."

Fujiwara Takuya joked.

"Why would Reiki be upset on such a joyous day? Prince His Highness is very good. Life can never be all perfect."

A good person?

Recalling Wataru Tetsuya’s ugly face, the dashing Fujiwara Takuya was filled with the urge to vomit.

So sometimes, his apprehension toward his sister wasn’t solely due to her having leverage over him.
