The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 1682

Although Nanako and Hiroshi were only speaking over the phone, she instantly blushed as soon as she heard his words. 3

She tried to explain vaguely, "Tanaka-san... you... you have misunderstood me! I... I do not... I do not have any feelings... or affection... for Mr. Wade..."

Hiroshi sighed as he said, "Miss, I have already been serving the Ito family for so many years, and I have already stayed by your side for such a long time. I understand and know you very well. You don’t have to hide anything from me. I do not want to invade or pry into your privacy. However, the main point is that if even someone like me could read your thoughts, what's more, the chairman who has always had such great insight, then? It would certainly be impossible for you to hide your feelings in front of the chairman. I am afraid that you will not only be unable to meet up with Mr. Wade, but you might also reveal your true thoughts and feelings in front of the chairman at that time..." 7

"This...” Nanako was at a loss for words.

She knew that Hiroshi was simply sincerely giving her this reminder out of kindness. 2

She also knew that her father, Yahiko, would never allow her to have the possibility of developing a relationship with any foreigners. He had already

made this point very clear to her countless times. He said that he would only be able to accept it if she were to marry a Japanese man in the future. Moreover, that Japanese man would have to be purely of Japanese descent. 9

As for the others, even those immigrants from Oskia and South Korea who had come over to Japan more than one or two hundred years ago and had already lived in Japan for three or four generations were not considered Japanese who originated from pure Japanese descent.

This was the case for Masayoshi Son, the founder and CEO of Softbank, who invested in Alibaba. Although h e was the richest man in Japan, in Yahiko's eyes, he was not considered a Japanese whatsoever.

This was because Son's grandfather's generation originally came from Daegu, Korea.

Many years ago, Son's grandfather immigrated from Daegu to Japan to start working as a miner here. Son was born and raised in Japan. 4

In the eyes of most people, he was already a standard and regular Japanese man. 9

However, in the eyes of an utter and downright ethnicist such as Yahiko, Son could only be considered a Korean-Japanese at best. 6
