Chapter 50: The Brightness of the Song Family
Fang Yanzi spent the whole night with Old Master Mi to show his filial piety, but instead of waiting for Lin Gongzi, he waited for a bodyguard. The two of them parted on bad terms, and Fang Yanzi couldn't help but think of that guy who always smiled at him, making his heart feel stifled with resentment.
At noon, Fang Yan Xi finally got out of bed, tidied herself up a bit, saw that Mi Long Shan was still sleeping in bed, and flashed a thread of disgust on her forehead. She grabbed her bag without going to see Old Man Mi, drove out of the Mi's house, and headed towards Zhabei District.
Fang Yanzi was thirty-five years old, nearly ten years younger than Mi Longshan! When she was twenty years old, she married into the Mi family, not because of her relationship with Mr. Mi or his power and influence, but when she really entered the Mi family, she found out that Mr. Mi forbade his descendants from entering officialdom, nor did he allow his family members to rely on his past relationships. With this, Fang Yanzi's calculations behind her back fell through!
The Fang family is also quite famous in Shanghai, and Fang Yanzi's cousin is even married to the Song family, known as the number one family in Suzhou and Shanghai! This Song family is also an old Shanghai family, and in the Yangtze River Delta region, it is simply a giant!
Now in Shanghai, the only new-type family that can slightly rival the Song family is the Ye family! Mysterious and young, the head of the household, Ye He Xuan, is even more mysterious, with only a pair of twin sisters from the Ye family, known as the Shanghai Double Evils. Who knows how many greedy guys who coveted the beauty of the twin sisters ended up in a terrible situation.
Fangyan Zhi was originally a quick-witted person, relying on the remaining prestige of the Mi family and taking advantage of her relationship with the Song family. In Shanghai's social circle, she was quite famous, so it was only natural that she would get involved with Lin Gongzi!
In Fangyan Zhi's eyes, as long as she could bring Milan and Lin Gongzi together, her second house would soar to great heights, it was just a matter of time. Especially in front of those cousins, she would definitely be one step ahead! The most important thing is to rely on Lin Gongzi this big mountain, after that, turning the tide would be as easy as turning over one's hand! But unexpectedly, Milan actually brought back a servant to annoy her!
Arriving at the Song's house, under the guidance of a servant from the Song family, I saw my cousin Fang Bicheng sitting in the living room drinking tea and listening to Suzhou Pingtan. When she saw Fang Yanzhi arrive, Fang Bicheng smiled slightly and said faintly: "Yanzhi has come?"
Seeing her cousin's lukewarm attitude towards herself, Fang Yanxi felt a surge of resentment in her heart. If she hadn't been greedy for the Mi family's powerful connections back then, she might have become Mrs. Song by now! Now it was ironic that she hadn't benefited from the Mi family at all, yet her status was far inferior to that of this cousin!
Fang Yanzhi's heart was muttering, but her face was all smiles as she said: "Sister-in-law, I heard that your husband got you some good tea. Come on over and bask in the glory!" Fang Bicheng smiled and gestured for Fang Yanzhi to sit next to her, then slowly poured a cup of tea for Fang Yanzhi. After taking a sip, Fang Yanzhi repeatedly praised: "This is really good tea!!! Your husband is so thoughtful! By the way, what's Jiaming busy with?"
"What's with him? Still not a company matter, huh? The big boss isn't small, it's time to find someone to manage him! Xianzhi, I heard Milan from your family is back? When you have time, bring her over and let me take a look. This little girl, it's been years since I've seen her!"
Fangyan Zhi sneered coldly in her heart, thinking that your son is not bad, if there was no Lin Gongzi, Milan marrying your son would also be a good match, but now, hum! Don't harbor any hopes.
"Let's not mention my cousin! That dead girl from the Mi family is simply infuriating! She rushed back last night and brought a sloppy servant with her, who doesn't know any etiquette! I'm not speaking ill of our own family member, but what kind of person is Ming? The number one young master in all of Shanghai, I think it's better not to get involved with someone like that, lest we invite trouble into our household!"
Fang Bicheng was slightly surprised, but a hint of amusement flashed in her eyes as she said: "Oh? Is that so? Lan'er that girl, I don't think she's the kind of person who would be friends with just anyone!"
"Dialect Qī said with a disdainful face: 'Cousin sister, it's been several years since we last met, who would still remember?'"
"Never mind, let's just drop it," said Fang Biching with a smile. "It's young people's business, let them make their own mistakes!"
At this moment, a young man wearing casual clothes walked in from the door. The man was slender and handsome, especially with a gentle temperament that made people feel good at first sight!
"Is Aunt Zhang here?"
"Ah, Jiaming is back home!"
Dialectical tone: "Wow, our Ming is really a handsome man! I don't know which young lady will have the good fortune to marry him!"
Song Jiaming smiled calmly and asked, "I heard Lan'er is back?"
Fang Yanzi's face was somewhat unnatural, she knew that Song Jiaming had been pursuing Milan all along, but with Lin Gongzi around, Fang Yanzi didn't want Song Jiaming to intervene again. She forced a smile and said: "You're back! What a pity! Never mind! If Jiaming has time, you can go take a look and you'll know!"
"Oh? What's up? Coincidentally, Old Master Mi is unwell, and Father asked me to go visit him. I'll get ready now and head over to see Old Master Mi, and also take a look at Lan'er."
Song Jiacheng had a smiling face, making him look like a sunny person! He is someone who can brighten up anyone's day in any setting!
Fang Bicheng's eyes were filled with pride and satisfaction, she was content with having such a son! The only regret was that Song Jianguo was already thirty-one years old and had never been in love before! This was driving all the elderly people in the Song family crazy!
However, in Shanghai, there are only a few women who can match up to Song Gongzi! The Mi family is one of them, and the newly rising Ye family is another. As for other old Shanghai families, although their influence and power are far inferior to those of the Song family, they are also old-brand families that barely match up to the Song family. In recent years, there have been countless people coming to propose marriage, almost breaking down the threshold of the Song family's old mansion! But the parties involved don't seem to be in a hurry at all!
Song Jiaying's heart is tied to Milan!
No one knows a son better than his mother. Fang Biqing naturally understood Song Jiaming's mind. If it weren't for the fact that Song Jiaming had started taking over the family business in recent years, he might have followed Milan to Beijing to develop his career long ago!
Fortunately, this son is really worth her pride. Emotional things have never been mixed with business together. From the age of 25 when Song Jiaming started managing the company's business to the age of 28 when he fully took over the vast commercial empire of the Song Group, although there were no remarkable changes in the two years after taking over, it was developing forward at a slow pace according to the established guidelines! This is already an extraordinary achievement!
A young man of only thirty years old, who has grasped wealth that can put him at the pinnacle of the world, is still able to remain low-key and achieve success, this is a family's good fortune!
The Song family's assets and wealth are unknown to outsiders, with no specific data available, not even to many professional financial assessment institutions. Moreover, the name of any member of the Song family has never appeared on China's Forbes rich list! However, even if the Song family only reveals a small part of their wealth, it would be enough to top the Forbes rich list.
This is the style of a low-key family! Making a lot of money quietly! Only seeking profit, not fame.
A few must-see questions!
First! About plagiarism!
There is a reader who left a message in the book review section saying that I plagiarized. This sentence may be correct from your standpoint, but if you have read more than 20 chapters and still dare to say that I plagiarized, I can only say that you are here to cause trouble! Nowadays, the subject matter has been written to death! Having read many books, as a writer, it's inevitable to follow certain clichés or plot devices! However, each person has their own style! I won't explain this any further!
Second, about scolding people!
In the book review section, Xiaojiao deleted many abusive comments in a timely manner over the past few days. I didn't dare not delete them, fearing they would affect my readers' mood. Many people asked, "Why do you still recommend excellent reviews when others scold you?" I said, after all, everyone is a reader, and each person has their own preferences. Maybe someone doesn't like it and can scold! But please be considerate with your words!
Thirdly, about making trouble!
This troublemaker, who has nothing better to do, comes here to cause a ruckus and dares to leave messages saying "one egg per day, no need to thank me!" Such behavior is unacceptable! But your actions are really despicable! I don't agree!
So!! Stop causing trouble, I have nothing to say! This is your freedom! However, please note that you're affecting others, okay?! You can do whatever you want at home, but don't do this on the streets, okay?! Honestly, your hairstyle is very ugly! Do you think 3 cm is a lot?! Or do you like going out and showing off to prove your worth or compare with black people's stuff?! 50 cm vs 3 cm? Ants challenging elephants?! Your courage is commendable, I spiritually encourage you! Go ahead, defeat the black ghost, give Chinese men a chance to hold their heads high, but please don't come to my book review section and show off! Thank you!
Thank you very much!
Also: Thank you again to Youqi, Baisha and Evensong for their rewards! Thanks!!
