King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

Yin Mei's words sent a chill down my spine, and I stared at her in horror!

By now, even I, who was once a bit slow... have started to understand what's going on!

No wonder Song Huazhao called me stupid!

No wonder, last night my eldest sister, Song Huayang, was crying in the house saying she wouldn't agree!

......

"Ugh!"

Yin Mei sighed and said, "What could Mom possibly mean? Mom was just asking you casually... who do you think is prettier between the two of them?"

"Well......"

I swallowed awkwardly, "Mom! They're both beautiful! Besides, I'm their brother, how can I comment on my sister's appearance?"

"Ugh!"

Yin Mei sighed again, feeling frustrated: "Your eldest sister is 42 this year... She had a boyfriend years ago, and they were even preparing to get married, but then the plane crashed... Sigh! Your second sister is 36 this year, and she's had several boyfriends, but none of them lasted, and they all fell through. Now they're all... old maids!"

"mom!"

I comforted them, saying, "Don't worry, maybe it's just not meant to be... Besides, you could introduce them to some sons of wealthy families, or outstanding talents, or even the children of officials..."

"Silly boy!"

Yin Mei looked at me with a mixture of reproach and affection, and said, "Which rich young master isn't a playboy? If I marry Huayang off to them, wouldn't that be pushing him into a fire pit? Besides, how rich can his family be? My daughter, Yin Mei's daughter, is marrying down no matter which family she marries! Moreover, they'll be eyeing our family's assets, after all... your eldest sister controls 25% of the Song family's shares!"

She paused and continued, "As for the so-called outstanding talents, that's even more unreliable. They're all 'phoenix men' (men from humble backgrounds who achieve success through poverty), hoping to turn their lives around through our family! These people are cunning and adept at enduring humiliation. When they gain power, your father and I, these old bones, will all become your eldest sister's dowry... As for the children of officials, forget about it, the risk is too great, and they're unreliable!"

"Well......"

I asked awkwardly, "Mom, what are your plans?"

"Ugh!"

Yin Mei pondered for a moment and said, "I want to find a reliable and honest boy for Huayang to marry into the family... The family can't be too well-off, otherwise he will be unruly, and he can't be too ambitious... Of course, first of all, his character must be up to standard, and... it would be best if he also had the surname Song... to avoid trouble in the future because of the child's surname."

Looking at Yin Mei's loving and appreciative eyes, I felt my soul freeze!

As I suspected... I was right!

She wants to find a son-in-law!

And, moreover, they've taken a liking to me!

I can treat her illness, but I have no background and no ability. I can't do anything to her. I can only obediently depend on the Song family and be a little servant!

This old woman has no idea that Song Huayang and Song Huazhao are both my older sisters! How could I possibly have feelings for them?

No wonder Song Guolong said before that he must make me reject Yin Mei!

He doesn't know yet, but I already know he's my father!

He didn't need to say anything about this!

Yin Mei didn't know that Song Guolong was my father... Otherwise, she would have immediately turned against me, and might even have killed me!

Imagine... Yin Mei spent her whole life helping Song Guolong build the Song family business empire that it is today, and she even risked her life to give birth to five daughters for him.

In the end, all the fruits of their labor were reaped by Qiao Yunshu's son. If I were Yin Mei, I would go crazy!

Therefore, this secret must be kept!

"Xiao Cheng?"

Seeing me standing there in a daze, not saying a word, Yin Mei looked at me with eyes full of affection and uncertainty...

"Well......"

I said awkwardly, "Mom... I'm my sister's brother, I'll help her find one too..."

"Giggle giggle."

Yin Mei smiled slyly, "What a silly boy! Fine! Then you can slowly help your older sister look..."

She had barely finished speaking when someone knocked on the door, and a servant's voice came through.

"Madam, Master wants the young master to come over..."

"knew!"

Yin Mei looked annoyed: "Tell him that Xiao Cheng is treating my illness! He doesn't have time!"

"oh......"

......

After the housekeeper left, Yin Mei took out a photo album from the cabinet next to her and showed me the photos one by one.

"Xiao Cheng, look... this is Hua Yang when she was little. What do you think? Isn't she beautiful?"

"Well......"

I nodded awkwardly, my whole body trembling with nervousness, feeling like I was sitting on pins and needles...

"Huayang, don't let her family background fool you. She's always been frugal, dislikes extravagance, is incredibly hardworking, gentle, and very caring..."

I swallowed hard, my brain racing, trying to figure out how to get out!

"mom......"

I said awkwardly, "Dad must have something to tell me, maybe... I should go see him?"

"snort!"

Yin Mei rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "What good could he possibly want from you? Xiao Cheng, listen to your mother, don't go anywhere, stay here with me and stay with me!"

I'm completely devastated!

I was thinking, "Who the hell is going to save me?! This old guy has me hooked up with!"

Just as I was filled with worry, the knocking sounded again, and Song Huazhao's voice came from outside: "Mom! Have you finished talking to Xiaocheng? Eldest sister is making a cake and wants Xiaocheng to come and help..."

"Oh, oh, oh!"

Yin Mei said with a beaming smile, "I'm done, I'm done. Xiao Cheng, go ahead and help your sister make the cake. Our Hua Yang has always been skillful and has excellent cooking skills. She would definitely be a good wife and mother..."

"Okay, Mom, I'll go now..."

I awkwardly fled Yin Mei's room. As soon as I stepped out, Song Huazhao grabbed my ear and dragged me to a corner in the corridor.

"Second sister, be gentle, ouch!"

"You brat! Confess!"

Song Huazhao grinned mischievously and asked, "My mom just asked you who's prettier, me or my sister. What were you really thinking?"

I rub!

My heart was pounding wildly. Damn it, we'd just escaped one danger only to fall into another!

"Second sister, they all look beautiful!"

I said awkwardly, "You and your older sister are both beautiful..."

"snort!"

Song Huazhao didn't let go; instead, he gripped my ear even tighter, his eyes filled with a sinister, cunning smile as he looked at me: "I didn't ask you how you answered. I'm asking you, between me and my older sister, who do you think is prettier?"

"You...you're beautiful, okay? Second sister, let go!"

"snort!"

Song Huazhao released his grip, a smug look on his face, and said, "You're not blind, I also think I'm a bit better looking! And, brat, don't you think... we even have a bit of a 'couple's resemblance'?"

wipe!

Her words sent chills down my spine!

"Second sister...don't joke like that!"

I took a step back in terror: "You're my sister!"

"snort!"

Song Huazhao sneered disdainfully, mocking, "I don't know if you're genuinely stupid, or if you're just playing dumb to get what you want, feigning innocence in front of me? Wasn't what my mother said earlier clear enough? She wants to find a son-in-law for my older sister or me... She's taken a liking to you, don't you realize that?"

"Second Sister!"

I stared at her in horror, waving my hands frantically. "That's impossible! I would never become someone else's son-in-law, and besides... I'm already Xu Meiyun's fiancé. Also, you're my sister, don't joke like that anymore, it's really scary!"

"Bullshit sister!"

Song Huazhao's eyebrows furrowed, and she sneered, "I'm not related to you by blood. Who's your sister? There are plenty of people in the world who marry people with the same surname!"

"Second sister, you really are..."

For a moment I really wanted to tell the truth, but I swallowed the words back down.

Because I cannot predict what disastrous consequences will result if I tell the truth!

Or, I can wait until I fully understand Song Huazhao and Song Huayang's character, and completely trust them... before telling them the truth. That way... I can avoid this kind of trouble!

"Really? Tsk tsk tsk!"

Song Huazhao sneered, "Oh my! Xiao Cheng, you're really something else! Handsome, stupid, honest, and with no background or ambition... No wonder my mom took a liking to you. But my mom is too biased; she always puts my eldest sister first in everything..."

"Second Sister!"

My eyes darted around, and I quickly said, "I...I'm not a good man! Look...let me tell you! I've been with Xu Meijuan, I've been with Xu Meiyun, and I even had an affair with Lin Lan. Oh, and last night, those two Xiao sisters molested me. I'm utterly despicable...How filthy am I! Second sister, please don't even think about hitting on me, okay?"

"hehe!"

Song Huazhao sneered, "It's alright! Second sister, I don't mind! You're a man, it's normal to have affairs occasionally. Your words might disgust eldest sister, maybe they'd have some effect... but I'm completely immune!"

I was completely speechless, and then my eyes darted around again!

"That's right, that's right!"

I quickly said, "I also have a daughter..."

"What?"

Upon hearing that I had a daughter, Song Huazhao was stunned and frowned, asking, "Where did you get a daughter?"

"Well......"

I looked at her awkwardly and said, "Lin Lan, Lin Lan is my ex-girlfriend. I didn't know she was pregnant at the time. Later, she married Xu Shaokun..."

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

Hearing this, Song Huazhao frowned: "It is a bit complicated. I don't mind you being with other women, but since you've gotten a child, well... never mind! Second sister, I'll let you off the hook!"

Upon hearing her words, I breathed a sigh of relief!

It seems that... "self-degradation" is sometimes a panacea!

"But I'm warning you!"

Song Huazhao frowned and said seriously, "Actually, it's not really a warning, just a friendly reminder. Don't say these things to my eldest sister. She's extremely filial and very sensitive; she's easily hurt! I don't care if you're playing hard to get, trying to hide your ambitions, or if you genuinely don't care about our family's wealth... If you hurt her feelings, the consequences will be unbearable... Then, you and Xu Meiyun will both be finished!"

"Uh... I understand."

I nodded awkwardly.

"Oh, right..."

Song Huazhao laughed and asked, "How did those two Xiao sisters molest you last night?"

"this......"

I swallowed hard, feeling embarrassed, and told Song Huazhao everything that had happened last night.

Upon hearing this, Song Huazhao frowned, his face full of suspicion: "That shouldn't be!"

"How so?" I frowned and blinked.

Song Huazhao pondered, "I won't even mention Xiao Xuan, she's a divorced slut. And then there's Xiao Ran, she's incredibly arrogant, so many men pursue her... but she doesn't even glance at them. Would she really be so self-deprecating? To be with you... I find it a little hard to believe!"

"yes!"

I frowned and said, "This girl, when she was in Xu Meijuan's office, looked at me with utter contempt... and then that very night... it just doesn't make any sense!"

Song Huazhao's eyes darted around, and he pondered, "There's a problem! Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless you're my dad's biological son, they might not do that!"

Song Huazhao laughed and said, "But that's impossible... My mom keeps a very close eye on my dad! There's no way he could have a chance..."

My heart was pounding!

Looking at Song Huazhao's cunning and suspicious eyes, a strong sense of foreboding washed over me!

"Okay!"

Song Huazhao smiled and straightened my collar: "Silly little brother! You didn't suffer any loss, what are you afraid of? Come on! Come with me to see your eldest sister. Remember! Don't mention any of your messy old grudges in front of her. Wait until our relationship is more stable before bringing them up... Your eldest sister is my mother's lifeline. If you make her cry, I can't save you!"

Just as she finished speaking, my phone rang. I picked it up and saw it was Xu Meiyun calling.

"Second sister... I need to take this call!"

I took out my phone, took two steps to the side, and answered the call: "Feed?"

On the other end of the phone, Xu Meiyun didn't say anything, she just kept crying!
