King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

Seeing this family so animated and laughing, treating other people's marriages and love as a game of choosing their own interests, I couldn't hold back any longer!

"Mom! Second Sister..."

I said solemnly, "Of course I understand your good intentions, but... I'll make my own decision about my marriage! Xu Meiyun and I are truly in love, and that has nothing to do with age... or appearance. I just love her single eyelids, and I love the older sister vibe she gives me..."

The Song family was completely stunned, and Yin Mei's expression was extremely awkward and complicated...

"Ugh!"

Yin Mei sighed, "Fine! You can't buy what I want! Mom... I was just too worried about you, afraid you'd be deceived, afraid you'd regret it... I was a bit too prejudiced. How about this, Mom won't interfere with your relationship with Xu Meiyun, but can you promise Mom one thing?"

"Mom, please tell me!"

I looked at her earnestly: "As long as it's not excessive, I'll definitely listen to you!"

"That's how it is..."

Yin Mei frowned slightly and said, "You're only in your early twenties, full of youthful vigor, and easily impulsive in your actions... Marriage requires a courtship process first. How can you have a whirlwind marriage? A whirlwind marriage... is irresponsible to yourself. Why don't you date Xu Meiyun for two years first? After two years, we can talk about marriage. If Xu Meiyun still loves you and you still love Xu Meiyun by then, then Mom won't interfere. What do you think? At that time... you'll only be 28 years old..."

wipe!

Yin Mei's words left me speechless!

What she said makes sense!

A normal marriage requires a courtship period as a foundation.

I just really can't understand...aren't you being a bit too nosy?

Does she really think of herself as my biological mother?

My dad once taught me that there's always something fishy going on when things seem unusual... just like those Vietnamese female soldiers!

However, I really can't see through Yin Mei's scheme!

"Well......"

I nodded awkwardly, "Well... okay!"

"Yes! Good boy!"

Yin Mei smiled and instructed Hua Zhao, "Xiao Zhao, take your younger brother to see his room and familiarize him with the house..."

"Okay, Mom!"

Song Huazhao stood up with a smile: "Xiao Cheng! Let's go! I'll show you Qinglong Residence!"

"Oh... Dad, Mom! Then I'll go with my second sister first..."

"Okay, go ahead!"

.....

Yin Mei, Song Guolong, and Song Huayang all smiled slightly at me...

They left the room with Song Huazhao and walked along the magnificent corridor.

Although I breathed a sigh of relief... I didn't have to be as nervous as before, I was also worried. Yin Mei couldn't be without me for a moment, which meant that I didn't even have freedom anymore.

I have to take care of this elderly woman who is partially paralyzed every day...

Despite gaining her trust, my biggest task was to investigate the truth behind my birth mother's car accident.

But I don't want to lose my freedom completely because of this!

After all, I still want to have my own career!

"Second sister..."

Standing behind Song Huazhao, I awkwardly asked, "So, does this mean I'll have to be here every day from now on?"

"Oh, Cheng!"

Song Huazhao stopped, turned around, and looked at me with a reproachful expression, saying, "Why are you so insensible, child?"

"I......?"

"My mom is a very kind-hearted person. She saw that you two were attracted to each other and wanted to treat you like her own son... Just listen to whatever she says and go along with her..."

Song Huazhao shook his head helplessly and said, "Why argue with her? Look at everyone in our family, who dares to argue with her?"

"I...I didn't mean to argue with her..."

I was extremely embarrassed and quickly explained, "But marriage is no child's play. I've already promised Xu Meiyun, how can I abandon her after starting something? What kind of person would I be then?"

"Ugh!"

Song Huazhao said dejectedly, "Are you stupid?! She's in a wheelchair... her range of movement is limited, and her access to information is also limited... how can she possibly keep an eye on you every day? Just go along with whatever she says, make her happy, and coax her a little. As for how to do it, that's another matter!"

"Oh, oh, oh..." I suddenly realized.

"Stubborn!"

Song Huazhao gently poked my forehead with her index finger: "Be smarter from now on. Even if she says the earth is flat, you have to say, 'Mom, you're right!' Got it?"

"Uh, got it..."

"Um!"

As Song Huazhao walked, he said, "My mom is like that. If you go along with her and make her happy, she'll give you anything... As for whether or not you should stay here every day, that depends on the specific situation... What if she suddenly has back pain in the middle of the night and you're not around? That would be troublesome, wouldn't it?"

"oh......"

Upon hearing her words, my heart sank completely...

The Qinglong Residence in the Song Family Villa Complex is located right next to the waterfall that runs through the mountain. It boasts a superb view and an excellent location, offering a panoramic view of the entire city center of Jiangcheng!

This is a villa with a rather classical style, even somewhat resembling the style of a Taoist temple...

But all the facilities inside are modern.

The decor is understated and elegant... quite reminiscent of Emperor Huizong of Song's aesthetic taste!

"The previous owner of this house was my soon-to-be brother-in-law..."

Song Huazhao led me to the second floor, leaning against the railing and looking at the waterfall cascading down beside us, he sighed, "I never thought you'd be the one staying here..."

"My future brother-in-law?"

"Um!"

Song Huazhao nodded: "That happened fifteen years ago... My older sister and my fiancé were childhood sweethearts with a deep affection for each other. But just before their wedding, my fiancé was returning from abroad by plane and was caught in a plane crash..."

"oh......"

I gasped and asked, "So, what about now, eldest sister?"

"Oh!"

Song Huazhao smiled bitterly, "Her? She's a pure-hearted warrior... After her brother-in-law died, she vowed never to marry again, only helping to manage the family business."

"Hiss~!"

I frowned and sighed, "That older sister really... has suffered a lot."

"Oh!"

Song Huazhao said with a cold laugh, "Which of the sisters in our Song family hasn't suffered?"

"What do you mean by that?" I asked, completely bewildered.

"Oh!"

Song Huazhao shook his head helplessly: "Look at how domineering my mom is... She's dissatisfied with this and that, who can she possibly be satisfied with? I found a few boyfriends before, and my dad even set them up, but she didn't like any of them and ruined them all! Sigh! My second sister... I guess she'll never get married in this lifetime!"

"this.....?"

I stared at Song Huazhao in shock. I never imagined that her family's situation was so dire.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case!

As a mother, you must be most anxious about your daughter's marriage!

"Second sister..."

I asked, puzzled, "This...this doesn't make sense! Daughters are grown up, parents should hurry up and marry them off, that's every parent's wish, even more so than their sons getting married. Keeping them around like this will only turn them into enemies! And you, this year, are also..."

"Ugh! I'm 36!"

Song Huazhao said with a frustrated look, "Little brother! You don't understand! You're using ordinary people's thinking to apply to our family's situation... Our Song Group is a top-tier capital conglomerate in the country, and my mother doesn't have a son... Have you thought about what our marriage means?"

I was completely bewildered and shook my head in confusion.

Song Huazhao sneered, "When an ordinary family's daughter marries, it's like gaining half a son. But when a daughter of the Song family marries, it's like sending away one of our own people and bringing in an outsider. And this outsider can later legally take half of our daughter's property... It's like inviting a wolf into the house!"

"That can't be!"

I exclaimed in disbelief, "It's a perfect alliance! You're marrying other wealthy young men, merging two families into one...resource optimization!"

"Ha! Silly little brother!"

Song Huazhao said with a wry smile, "You said it yourself, a powerful alliance, who can be stronger than the Song family? Do you even know how much money the Song family has?"

"Well......"

"Oh!"

Song Huazhao gazed bitterly at the distant scenery and said, "In my mother's eyes, the men that we sisters have our eyes on are all 'phoenix men,' all 'Sima Yi' types, all thieves coming to steal the family fortune! As for the men my father arranges, they're all business partners begging him, trying to use his resources to climb the social ladder... In a family like ours, everything is about equal exchange. Not taking advantage is considered a loss, so how could we let them slip away?"

She paused, her brow furrowed, and continued, "I even suspect... in my mother's eyes, we daughters don't need marriage at all! Ordinary people get married to find support and companionship, to prepare for old age... What do you think our Song family needs? In my mother's view, marriage only brings risks to her daughters! If we don't get married, we'll always be her little princesses; if we do get married... we become someone else's wife and mother, and we have to think of others in everything..."

"Wow! This is too much..."

"snort!"

Song Huazhao sneered and sighed, "My eldest sister really sees things clearly! She saw right through my mother and decided to avoid trouble!"

"Second Sister!"

I said meaningfully, "If you were all men, wouldn't there be no such trouble?"

"hehe!"

Song Huazhao laughed, "If I were a man, even if I married a female beggar, my mom wouldn't be so strict! Sigh! My mom is just too controlling!"

"But if we don't get married, won't our lineage die out?"

I asked, puzzled, "Human lifespan is finite! In the end, the Song family's capital will still perish, and the whole family will be confiscated!"

"snort!"

Song Huazhao sneered, "Haven't we already died out? We don't have any boys in our family... what hope is there?"

I'm completely speechless!

Putting myself in their shoes, if I were Song Guolong or Yin Mei, this would indeed be incredibly upsetting!

However, Song Guolong now has a better understanding of the situation...

After all, Yin Mei doesn't have a son, but he does!

Seeing my bewildered expression, Song Huazhao poked my forehead with his index finger again: "If I said you were stupid, you really are a fool!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a servant rushed over anxiously: "Second Miss, something terrible has happened! Master and Madam are arguing, and they're arguing fiercely!"
