Chapter 3300: Sachiko Sasaki

The next day.

Idle Ye Chen was pulled by his wife to stroll the streets with Dong Ruolin for a whole morning.

At noon, Dong Ruolin treated them, inviting Ye Chen and Xiao Churan to a famous sushi restaurant in Tokyo; the chef was a temperamental old man, and it was said the meal was expensive and hard to book, but after eating, Ye Chen had three clear impressions: first, the place was shabby beyond description; second, he did not taste the legendary flavor that would make one slap the table in praise; third, he indeed did not eat his fill.

After the meal, returning to the hotel to put away the shopping purchases, Dong Ruolin urged Ye Chen and Xiao Churan to quickly change into slightly more formal attire, preparing to attend the private party before the concert.

Since it was a party hosted by the Mitsui family, as hosts, they provided pickup and drop-off service for invited guests, and uniformly chose Toyota's Lexus LS series sedans; after Ye Chen and his companions finished packing, they directly took the Mitsui family's special car to the Tokyo Dome.

Although there were still several hours until the evening concert, the Dome grounds had already gathered a large number of fervent fans, who clustered in the plaza waving flags and shouting, or playing instruments and singing, the atmosphere extremely heated; moreover, it was said that each of Tawana Sweet's concerts had at least tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of ticketless fans listening to the entire concert around the venue.

From these fans' behavior, it could be seen that Tawana Sweet was indeed the most popular and highest-grossing female singer in the world today, with almost no one able to match her.

Fortunately, the staff on site had isolated a dedicated passage in advance, allowing the vehicle Ye Chen and his companions rode in to smoothly enter the Dome's interior.

Upon reaching the Dome's internal parking lot, several identical Lexus vehicles were already parked there; many guests successively got out of their cars, and under the guidance of the etiquette ladies, walked toward the inner venue.

At this moment, Dong Ruolin was visibly agitated and unable to contain herself; as soon as she got out of the car, she began looking around, and upon seeing a young woman inside the entrance, she shouted in English: "Sachiko! I'm here!"

Hearing the voice, the young woman immediately turned toward the sound, saw Dong Ruolin, and happily screamed and ran over.

When she reached Dong Ruolin, the two embraced without prior agreement; the young woman laughed and said: "Long time no see, Ruolin! How have you been lately?"

"Pretty good!" Dong Ruolin nodded, then introduced Ye Chen and Xiao Churan to her: "Sachiko, let me introduce you—these two are my good friends!"

Sachiko looked at the two, nodded and smiled: "You must be Mr. Ye Chen and Mrs. Ye, right? Nice to meet you, please take care of us!"

Ye Chen was not surprised that she could call out his name, after all, Dong Ruolin's invitations were real-name based, and she must have given Ye Chen and Xiao Churan's names to the other party in advance; moreover, Japanese society tends to be male-dominated, so although she knew Ye Chen and his wife's names, she only addressed Ye Chen by his full name, and referred to his wife as "Mrs. Ye."

Thus Ye Chen smiled and said: "Hello, Miss Sachiko."

After speaking, he gently embraced Xiao Churan, smiled and said: "This is my wife, Xiao Churan."

Seeing Ye Chen specially introduce Xiao Churan once more, Sachiko could not help but be slightly surprised, and her first impression of him greatly improved; without saying anything else, just this point showed that Ye Chen valued his wife very much.

At this moment, Dong Ruolin also felt envious in her heart; she had long harbored feelings for Ye Chen, naturally envying Xiao Churan to no end, and now being able to see Ye Chen's regard for Xiao Churan in subtle ways made her envy and admiration grow even stronger.

After slightly adjusting her mindset, Dong Ruolin said to Ye Chen and Xiao Churan: "Sachiko's full name is Sachiko Sasaki; her mother and my mother were university classmates, and we have known each other for many years."

Sachiko Sasaki stepped forward, linked arms with Dong Ruolin, and smiled: "My mother mentioned she would visit Huaxia for a while, saying she would come to see Auntie then; if I have time, I'll go with her!"

"That would be wonderful!" Dong Ruolin exclaimed happily: "When you come to Huaxia, be sure to tell me in advance; as the host, I will definitely arrange everything clearly for you! At that time, stay at my house, and we'll sleep in the same bed!"

Sachiko Sasaki nodded and smiled: "This time I also wanted to let you, Mr. Ye, and Mrs. Ye stay together at my home, but you said you had already booked the hotel."

Dong Ruolin glanced at Ye Chen, smiled and said: "You don't know, Ye Chen is especially domineering, hates owing favors to others, especially favors from women; I said I got concert tickets through friends, and he immediately booked the flights and hotel."

Ye Chen did not mind Dong Ruolin teasing him, but instead looked toward Sachiko Sasaki and said: "Miss Sachiko, my wife has always loved Tawana Sweet; thank you for the tickets, allowing her to finally see Tawana's concert as she wished."

Sachiko Sasaki looked at Ye Chen, smiled and said: "Mr. Ye, you are too polite; Ruolin's friends are my friends; if you two come to Japan in the future and need any help, you can always find me, especially in Tokyo, where I still have some influence."

Although Sachiko Sasaki's words were genuinely well-intentioned, she did not know that Ye Chen's visit to Tokyo was far from that of an ordinary tourist, after all, Ye Chen was the mastermind behind the Tokyo Great Brawl that shocked all of Japan.

In other words, Ye Chen remains the culprit that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has been racking its brains to find to this day, because they still do not know whose hands those ninjas, who died in miserable states or even frozen into ice pops, met their end.

Although the entire event has long since settled, the Takahashi and Matsumoto families also fell in that turmoil, yet rescuing the Su siblings and slaying multiple ninjas while protecting Ito Nanako from death remains, to outsiders, an eternal mystery.

If not for that mysterious person, the Su siblings would undoubtedly have died in that incident, and the Ito and Takahashi families would likely have been completely destroyed by the behind-the-scenes black hand Matsumoto Yoshihito, so how could the Ito family now enjoy its dominant position?

However, the Ito family has always remained silent on this matter, and no one knows what hidden truth lies behind it.

Nevertheless, Ye Chen naturally harbored no arrogant thoughts; facing Sachiko Sasaki's kindness, he immediately expressed gratitude, smiling and said: "Then I trouble Miss Sachiko to take good care of us!"

Sachiko Sasaki slightly bowed to Ye Chen in greeting, then said to the three: "It's about time; let's go in first. Besides us, there are still many prominent figures from Tokyo attending this party. While the Young Lady and Tawana have not yet arrived, I will first introduce some people to you for you to get acquainted; when the Young Lady comes, if there is an opportunity, I will introduce her to you as well."

Dong Ruolin asked softly: "You mean the Young Lady of the Mitsui family?"

"Yes." Sachiko Sasaki covered her mouth with her hand and whispered: "The Young Lady is the heir of the main line of the Mitsui family; her father is the most influential figure in the Mitsui family; Tawana Sweet and Tawana's boyfriend stayed at the Young Lady's manor last night, and they will come together shortly!"
