Crossover: Becoming Japan’s Prime Minister? Chapter 300 301: The Plight of the Yukinoshita Family

Haruno had never been particularly interested in politics.

Even as the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family, the woman who would inherit the Yukinoshita family in the future, she did not actually like politics deep down.

But for her mother's expectations and the future of the Yukinoshita family, she could only force herself to observe politics and learn its deceit and intrigue.

However, that was ultimately just sothing she learned. She had not experienced it firsthand. Thus, she did not understand the true darkness of politics and had only seen the tip of the iceberg.

But today, she was filled with anticipation, staring intently at the television program, secretly praying and waiting for the election results.

Even though she knew clearly that Toru should face no threat and would definitely beco the district mayor of Koto Ward, everything was still unknown before the election results were announced.

"The election results are out... Mr. Fujiwara Toru, our hero from Japan, as everyone expected, has been elected as the district mayor of Koto Ward, Tokyo, Japan, with a high vote percentage of 95%!"

On the television screen, the host excitedly announced the election results in a loud voice.

Haruno clenched her fists and swung them vigorously. Even with her usual calm deanor, she could not help but smile at this mont.

"There were actually still 5% of the votes that didn't go to Toru-kun."

She grumbled indignantly.

However, Haruno could also understand. Not everyone liked Toru, especially the boys. There would always be so who were jealous of him and awkwardly wanted to oppose him.

But no matter what, 95% of the votes was extrely high. Even though this was just a district mayor election, such a vote count could be described as absolutely rare.

Just as Haruno was about to go find her younger sister to share the joy, she suddenly rembered that Yukino had moved out to live alone and had not returned ho for a long ti.

"I wonder how Yukino is doing, living by herself outside. Mom is really sothing, actually just ignoring Yukino like that."

"Even if what she said at the ti was indeed infuriating, she shouldn't be treated like this."

Haruno thought about it. Maybe she should find so ti to visit Yukino.

Even if the things Yukino said at the ti were very harsh, almost making her, the older sister, break down, she was still her younger sister after all.

In reality, Haruno herself had not noticed that her feelings for her younger sister were sowhat extraordinary. It would not be wrong to say she had a sister complex.

"I just don't know if Yukino will directly kick out if I go to visit her."

Haruno looked troubled.

Yukino's place of residence had not changed. It was still that apartnt building, only she had moved to a different floor.

And the money for it was all provided by Toru. No matter how anyone looked at it, Yukino was being kept by Toru.

Just thinking about this, Haruno felt no anger at all. Instead, she felt envy.

She did not dare to be as bold as her younger sister, to dare to do extraordinary things, to do the things she had always yearned for but did not dare to do.

Just as Haruno was thinking about her sister, sounds of arguing suddenly ca from outside.

"Father and Mother are arguing again?"

Haruno frowned. Lately, they had been arguing constantly.

More accurately, Ms. Yukinoshita was finding all sorts of excuses to argue.

Haruno and Yukino's father was actually a very weak-willed person.

Especially since he had married into the Yukinoshita family. Even if he had any rough edges back then, they had long been smoothed out over these past twenty-plus years. He had a genuine fear of his wife.

Haruno got up and crept to the door to listen secretly.

She did not dare to go out at this mont, otherwise she would definitely beco the target of her mother's angry outburst.

"Look at what you've done! You actually lost your position as a Chiba Prefecture assembly mber!"

"Since my father's ti, every term of the assembly has had soone from our Yukinoshita family."

"But look at you! You actually lost your assembly mber status! Are you worthy of the grooming the Yukinoshita family gave you? Are you worthy of the resources the Yukinoshita family allocated to you?"

Ms. Yukinoshita looked furious. She trembled as she watched her timid husband in front of her, wishing he would just get lost imdiately.

This was truly adding insult to injury.

The Yukinoshita family itself already had financial problems, with poor cash flow in its businesses. But at least they were still Chiba Prefecture assembly mbers. With that status, they belonged to the upper class of Chiba Prefecture.

But with the loss of the assembly mber status and problems arising in the Yukinoshita family's businesses, those gluttons and crocodiles would definitely rush over, slling blood, and try to devour the Yukinoshita family completely.

The global economy was currently struggling. Since the pie could not be made bigger, they could only find ways to redistribute it.

If the Yukinoshita family's resources were swallowed up, it would be a feast for the other families in Chiba Prefecture.

While the Yukinoshita family's scale was not enough to support all creatures after its fall like a whale, just swallowing the Yukinoshita family would at least allow many families in Chiba Prefecture to stop worrying about the outside world for several years.

This way, they could quietly wait for the global situation to develop until the economy recovered one day.

This was a choice that every wealthy family would make when facing changes in the global situation.

In the past, the Yukinoshita family had also made similar choices. For example, during Japan's lost twenty years in the last century, the Yukinoshita family had also survived through this thod.

But who could have imagined that one day, the Yukinoshita family would also beco prey for others?

Ms. Yukinoshita could no longer stay calm.

She knew that if the previous Yukinoshita family was at least a starving cal still bigger than a horse, many people would not attack them.

But now, the Yukinoshita family had exposed its vulnerable underbelly, and everyone would want to co and take a bite.

Ms. Yukinoshita even guessed that in a couple of days, the banks would probably co to demand repaynt, and if they did not pay, their assets would be confiscated.

And all of the Yukinoshita family's creditors would definitely co knocking.

In the past, relying on the Yukinoshita family's reputation, they could postpone paying debts, but now no one would care about that anymore.

The more Ms. Yukinoshita looked at her husband, the more annoyed she beca. She said with disgust, "Get out! I don't want to see you right now. No, I don't want to see you for the entire month!"

When the current head of the Yukinoshita family heard his wife's words, he actually breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

She did not want to see him, and he actually did not want to see her either. No matter how much his edges had been smoothed out, he was still a man and did not want to endure this kind of anger.

Carefully putting on his clothes, the current head of the Yukinoshita family left the house under his wife's cold gaze.

As soon as he left, Ms. Yukinoshita could no longer contain herself. She forcefully swept all the bottles and jars off the table onto the floor and cursed loudly, "Useless! You're all useless!"

She was scared. She was panicking. She was afraid that the Yukinoshita family would fall apart in her hands.

Haruno sighed softly. She opened the door and walked out, saying softly, "Mother, you can't be willful anymore. You need to seek outside help now, otherwise the family will definitely be finished."

Ms. Yukinoshita looked at her blankly.
