King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

"Meiyun! What happened?"

"Waaah! Honey, where are you?"

"I'm at the Song family's house!"

Frustrated, I pressed, "What happened? Why are you crying?"

“Wuwu!”

Xu Meiyun cried and said, "Husband, you will definitely marry me, right? You're not lying to me, are you?"

"Well......"

A fleeting image of Lin Lan flashed through my mind, but I was quickly reminded by my past promise: "Yes, definitely!"

Hearing me say that, Xu Meiyun's emotions visibly calmed down. She sniffed and said, "Honey, I'm in the lobby... Can you come? I miss you..."

"Okay, okay! Wait for me!"

After hanging up the phone, I immediately tried to run to the lobby, but Song Huazhao grabbed my arm: "You brat, where do you think you're going?"

"Second sister..."

I said awkwardly, "It's Dad's birthday today, and a lot of guests have come, including Meiyun. I have to go see her!"

"snort!"

Song Huazhao said coldly, "You are not allowed to go!"

"Huh? Second sister! What do you mean? Today is Dad's birthday!" I looked at her in shock.

"What's wrong with Dad's birthday? You're not a guest! You're a member of the Song family! The third, fourth, and fifth sons are there to entertain the guests! Do we need you?"

"No, Second Sister, you?"

"You brat!"

Song Huazhao rolled her eyes and said, "Are you really that stupid? Can't you see who's who? You're my mother's chosen son-in-law, my future brother-in-law! I'm taking you to meet my older sister now, to build a relationship... Don't you understand?"

"I do not understand!"

My head was spinning, and I felt a wave of dizziness. "Second sister! You can't do this! Eldest sister... she'll always be my sister! An elder sister is like a mother, just like my own mother... Please don't try to matchmake me with someone else, okay? I will never agree to this!"

"Forever? Ha! Don't be so absolute!" A hint of mockery flashed in Song Huazhao's eyes.

"Yes! Forever!"

I raised three fingers and swore, "If I, Song Cheng, ever have any improper thoughts about my elder sister in this lifetime, may I be hit by a car and die! God is my witness!"

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"

Song Huazhao quickly grabbed three of my fingers and even made a gesture as if he was going to slap me...

"You brat! Don't talk nonsense! Do you think you can just make oaths like that? Getting hit by a car and dying on the street? You're really heartless, how could you even say something like that?"

Song Huazhao looked frustrated, angry, and helpless, but at the same time... a strange light flickered in his eyes!

"I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart, with a clear conscience. What's there to hide?"

I said earnestly, "Second sister! I beg you! Please don't force me anymore. I really only love Meiyun... Besides, I'm a womanizer, always flirting and being fickle... Don't be fooled by my honest appearance! Trying to match me with eldest sister is the greatest stain on her character!"

"A giant, flowery radish? Hehehe!"

Song Huazhao laughed, "If you were really such a womanizer, would you have let my older sister go? Besides, didn't you also have an affair with Xu Meijuan? Xu Meijuan is two months older than my older sister..."

"This isn't a matter of just two months!"

"Alright, alright!"

Song Huazhao waved his hand and laughed, "I won't argue with you about this. There's an old saying, 'A wise man submits to circumstances.'... To be frank, you weren't chosen by my eldest sister, nor by me. You're my mother's chosen son-in-law... My mother thinks you're suitable, understand? My mother has never failed in anything she's done in her life. Do you understand what I mean? If she can't have something, no one else can! My second sister is thinking about your and Xu Meiyun's safety..."

As she spoke, a chilling glint flashed in her eyes...

"Xiao Cheng!"

Song Huazhao's expression and tone softened a bit: "I really treat you like my own brother. Some things I say are a bit blunt, and even if you're not very bright, you should try your best to understand, understand? Like more than 20 years ago, there were a few female celebrities who were always trying to seduce my dad, and then... they never appeared on stage again. Don't you understand what I mean?"

A chill ran down my spine, and I stared at Song Huazhao with trembling eyes.

Her words were tantamount to admitting Yin Mei's crime of murdering her to cover it up!

The fact that Song Huazhao could bring up such a thing so subtly shows that... she really wasn't on guard against me and genuinely cared about me!

"for example......"

I frowned at her, trying to get the ball rolling with a question.

"Hehehe! For example?"

Song Huazhao laughed and said, "For example, 26 years ago, when I was in the third grade, there was a female celebrity surnamed Qiao who seduced my dad. My mom directly ordered her to be blacklisted, and she has never appeared since."

"Mom...killed her?" I looked at Song Huazhao with a solemn expression.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Song Huazhao rolled her eyes: "A blacklist! A blacklist, you understand? It'll be a complete social death for her, she can never earn a living this way again, and no matter where she goes to work, my mom will ruin her livelihood, it'll be a fight to the death..."

"oh......"

So that's why!

Song Huazhao said, "Xiao Cheng! Before, your second sister doubted you, thinking you were just pretending, playing hard to get, and that you were definitely still after our Song family's wealth. But now your second sister believes you. You're not that kind of scheming man from a poor background; you have your own principles... But having principles alone isn't enough!"

She paused, then continued, "You have two paths before you. Either follow my mother's lead, cooperate with her demands, and become a son-in-law of the Song family... My eldest sister has a net worth of 3.5 trillion, she's the richest among us sisters... What do you call that? That's called 'a brighter future awaits!' Or... you can stand your ground and fight to the end. In that case... my mother won't let you off the hook. Don't be fooled by her kind face; if she really hates you, neither you nor Xu Meiyun can withstand it... I'm not kidding!"

"Second Sister!"

I said with a serious and firm expression, "This issue is no longer worth discussing. Even if you talk yourself hoarse, I won't agree!"

Then, with a pitiful look on my face, I pleaded with her, "Second sister, I've always considered you my own sister. Please save me! Don't let me get stuck in this quagmire! As long as you help me get rid of your mother's demands, I'm willing to go through fire and water for you, even die a thousand deaths! I'll do anything! Second sister! Please! Help me!"

"cough!"

Song Huazhao sighed, his face grave, his brow furrowed in thought, and he remained silent...

Seeing that I had been delayed for quite a while, I immediately turned around and ran towards the lobby!

"You lot!"

Song Huazhao directed the bodyguards at the end of the corridor: "Take the young master to the eldest sister!"

"yes!"

Immediately, four burly men blocked my way and pinned me down.

"Second sister! What are you doing?" I turned around and asked in shock.

Song Huazhao walked gracefully towards me, and said hesitantly, "Brother, I'm sorry, but don't even mention it... Even my dad and I can't disobey my mother's orders! Confiscate his phone and take him there!"

"What are you doing? Let go of me! Don't take my phone!"

......

I struggled desperately, but it was no use. The bodyguards snatched my phone and handed it to Song Huazhao.

"Little brother! Behave yourself!"

Song Huazhao looked at me with a helpless yet sinister expression: "Don't be stubborn, don't refuse a polite offer and then suffer the consequences! Take him away!"

"Second Sister!"

......

I was dragged like a dead dog by several bodyguards towards the villa at the back.

"Let me go! I can walk by myself!"

I yelled, but the bodyguards didn't listen to me at all and just picked me up together!

At this moment, I felt incredibly cold inside, but at the same time, something occurred to me... Oh right, I still have an ace up my sleeve!

If Yin Mei keeps pressuring me like this, then I won't treat her anymore, and I'll let that old bastard suffer until he dies from the pain!

Soon, I was carried by several bodyguards to a secluded villa next to Qinglong Residence...

After the group put me down, the strongest of them said, "Young Master, please don't be so unreasonable... If the Old Madam really gets angry, it won't be as simple as Second Sister said. You might even lose your life... cough!"

"What? She can kill me?"

"Ugh!"

The burlyest bodyguard shook his head helplessly: "Young master, please. Don't put us in a difficult position! Otherwise, we'll be punished along with you..."

After frowning and pondering for a moment, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go inside.

Song Huazhao is fucking ruthless!

They confiscated my phone! I didn't even have a chance to beg Song Guolong to save me...

Upon entering the villa, the housekeeper saw me and immediately greeted me with a beaming smile, saying, "Young Master Song has arrived... Miss is personally making desserts for you..."

"oh......"

I lowered my head awkwardly and followed the nanny toward the kitchen.

"Young Master Song, aside from making desserts for the Old Madam, Miss has never made desserts for anyone else before..."

......

I couldn't be bothered with the nanny. When I went into the kitchen, I saw Song Huayang busy making a cake all by himself, covered in cream.

Her serious expression was just like when I first saw her in Hsu Chia-yi's office.

"Hey! Makoto's here!"

When Song Huayang saw me, she gave me a sweet smile: "Come here quickly, help your sister..."

"oh......"

I turned to the nanny, frowning, and said, "What are you still doing here? Just being a third wheel?"

"Oh, oh, oh..."

The nanny panicked and quickly retreated, closing the kitchen door behind her.

"Xiao Cheng!"

Song Huayang smiled sweetly at me and said, "I made you a chocolate one... Do you like chocolate?"

I opened the kitchen door a crack, and after confirming that the nanny was far away, I immediately went to Song Huayang and knelt down on one knee: "Big sister, please save me!"

"Hey! Xiao Cheng, what are you doing? Get up!" Song Huayang looked at me in a panic.
