A wealthy family recognizes my relatives? But I am already a billionaire.

Chapter 310 Black Water

"parking!"

Xu Youyou anxiously asked the driver to stop the car.

But things seemed to be deliberately going against her. She stopped and the young man pointed at by the system got into a sports car.

A moment later, the sound of a sports car roaring down the street was heard and disappeared at the end of the street. The car Xu Youyou was riding in could not catch up with the other car at all.

The driver was confused for a moment and asked, "Ms. Xu, do you want me to chase the sports car?"

The road they were on was in a relatively remote area of ​​the city, and the sports car was moving extremely fast, so it would take some time to catch up.

Xu Fang on the side said softly: "Boss, I have taken a picture of his license plate number and will contact someone to check his personal information immediately."

Xu Youyou nodded slightly. She didn't have time to do this just now, but fortunately Xu Fang was well trained now.

Liu Xiangyi on the side acted admiring and even opened the memo on his mobile phone to record his studies.

This wasn't the first time Lu Jingyao had seen Xu Youyou's strange behavior. Seeing how anxious she was, he said, "This young man looks familiar. I'll ask Assistant Liu to check it out."

Xu Youyou looked at him gratefully, but also felt a little guilty that she had been hiding something about the system.

Lu Jingyao chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I won't force you if you don't want to say it."

Xu Youyou forced a smile and felt more and more guilty. After all, she would probably keep the secret of the system from Lu Jingyao for the rest of her life.

Assistant Liu acted faster than Xu Fang, or perhaps it was because Lu Jingyao had a wider network of contacts.

"That young man is the grandson of the Kuromizu family. The Kuromizu family is a chaebol family similar to the Yasuda family. However, unlike the Yasuda family, the Yasuda family is now headed by an old man, while the Kuromizu family is now headed by a son-in-law."

Listening to Assistant Liu's explanation, Xu Youyou couldn't help but open her eyes wide: "Can a son-in-law also be the head of the family?"

Assistant Liu explained, "This country has always had a tradition of adopting a son-in-law. If there are only female heirs and no male heirs, the head of the family will be more inclined to find an outstanding son-in-law for their daughter. A year after the marriage, they will adopt the son-in-law as their own son and have him change his surname, ultimately training him to become the family heir."

Xu Youyou still felt that this system was a bit too naive. After all, there were many stories in China about ungrateful sons-in-law who wiped out the entire family, and there were also many stories about three generations returning to the clan.

"This country has formed a very mature system for adopting sons-in-law. Once a son-in-law changes his surname, it is difficult to change it back. The children born also all take the woman's surname. Even if someone wants to return to the ancestral family for three generations, he cannot withstand the pressure of public opinion." Assistant Liu explained.

Xu Youyou raised an eyebrow and said, "It seems that the current son-in-law of the Blackwater family is running the family business very successfully?"

Assistant Liu nodded and said, "This son-in-law is indeed a capable man. The Heishui family has reached a new level of success under his leadership. Twenty years ago, the Heishui family could not compare with the Yasuda family."

Xu Youyou felt that Assistant Liu was no outsider, so she asked without hesitation: "Do you know if there has been any big news in the Heishui family recently?"

Assistant Liu did not hide anything from Xu Youyou and said, "There is indeed big news recently. The son-in-law is old and about to retire. He has only one son, but his son and daughter-in-law both died in a car accident. Fortunately, his son and daughter-in-law have five children, three boys and two girls. Now the Heishui family is facing a power transfer and needs to choose a new head of the family."

Xu Youyou raised an eyebrow. "He himself is a son-in-law, which is enough to show the success of the system of adopting a son-in-law. Why do they still need to choose an heir from among their grandchildren? Why not just find an outstanding grandson-in-law?"

Assistant Liu said, "Aside from the son-in-law system, the chaebols here usually have a single-son inheritance system, where the family fortune is only given to one child, and the other children usually only get a few scraps."

This was the first time Xu Youyou had heard of this. After all, in China, rich people might favor sons over daughters, but they would never put all their eggs in one basket. This was somewhat similar to the ancient Chinese system of primogeniture, where the eldest son only got the lion's share, and the other sons got smaller shares.

"How much does the scraps usually cost?" Xu Youyou asked curiously.

"The more ruthless ones will have the heir take 99% and the rest will be shared by the others. It's hard to say for sure," Assistant Liu said patiently.

Xu Youyou immediately came to her senses. Money is a very tempting thing. No one can stand by and watch so much money fall into the hands of one person. Naturally, a fool would want to beat him up.

"Is the Heishui family going to be in chaos?" Xu Youyou asked.

Assistant Liu said softly, "Now, the five grandchildren are unwilling to give in to each other. No one wants to be the one to get the scraps. The granddaughter has taken the initiative to express her willingness to marry into the family, and the grandsons are not willing to be outdone and are desperately trying to prove themselves."

Xu Youyou asked: "What about the little grandson we met?"

Assistant Liu said, "The little grandson's name is Heishui Huiqi. He loves sports cars and beautiful women, and his behavior may seem uninhibited, but he graduated from a prestigious university and worked diligently for the group after graduation. His grandfather thinks highly of him, but he's too young, only 24, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to compete with his older brothers and sisters."

Xu Youyou said: "Then tell me about his brother and sister."

"The eldest grandson is ordinary, not as talented as his youngest brother, but he is deeply loved by his grandmother and now holds a senior position in the group. Compared with his older brothers, the second grandson is not loved by his grandfather or grandmother, but his wife is the daughter of the Yasuda family, so he has strong external support."

"Of the two granddaughters, the eldest is exceptionally capable, but because she's a woman, she faces significant repression within the group. The second granddaughter isn't as ambitious as her older sister, but she's quite popular among the wives. Both granddaughters, without exception, have found exceptional husbands, and their husbands are now also adopted grandchildren of the Blackwater family."

Xu Youyou listened to Assistant Liu's introduction and felt that the battle between the heirs of the Heishui family was really like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers.

Assistant Liu continued, "However, judging by what the Blackwater Family's Patriarch is saying, this succession dispute has dragged on for far too long. I estimate it's almost over."

When Xu Youyou heard this, she had a vague guess in her mind that perhaps her mission this time would be involved in the dispute over the heir to the Heishui family.

She had just come up with this idea, and following the golden pointer of the system today, she circled around Tokyo for a long time, but the final target of the mission was not the young man she met yesterday.

But a beautiful woman of thirty years old.
