Chapter 559: Two-way Marriage

Erya doesn’t know how much wealth the Song family has.

However, through her observation of Song Yubai's business in Guangzhou and his daily expenses, she estimated that it should be tens of millions.

Even Song Yubai, the second son, could mobilize at least millions of silver coins.

It's a fat sheep.

But Arya is not a bandit.

If you want to take money out of someone's pocket, you naturally have to exchange it for equal value.

Song Yubai has a good impression of her.

But Erya didn't want to get involved with herself.

She is very expensive.

Money cannot measure her free will.

No matter how much.

That day, Song Yubai invited her to the "Zhenwan Yaji".

This is a "party" for the wealthy businessmen in Guangzhou, where all kinds of rare treasures will be brought out for bidding to show everyone's financial strength.

The threshold for this gathering of rare antiques is very high, but in fact, wealthy businessmen regard it as an opportunity to make friends and communicate.

Erya can't get the invitation if she relies on herself.

But she also wanted to go and see if there was a chance to meet more people.

So when faced with Song Yubai's invitation, she gladly accepted it.

Song Yubai came to pick her up specially.

Seeing that she was still dressed as a man, Song Yubai shook the fan in his hand and said, "I sent someone to give you clothes yesterday. Why aren't you wearing them?"

Erya looked at his moon-white robe, which matched his color. "Don't you have many lovers in Guangzhou? If Second Young Master wants a woman, all he needs to do is beckon her, and there will be plenty of women coming at him."

As she spoke, she picked up her robe and got into the carriage, ignoring the hand that Song Yubai extended.

"How can a vulgar woman be compared with Zhou Zhou?"

Erya lived in Guangzhou Prefecture, using the alias Lu Xingzhou.

"Please speak nicely, I'm about to throw up my leftover food." Arya rolled her eyes at him and got straight to the point, "Who's going today?"

"Seven or eight out of ten businesses in Guangzhou Prefecture have the largest business." Song Yubai's eyes showed a hint of pride.

He is also an existence that cannot be underestimated.

Lu Xingzhou will know after he gets there.

Song Yubai likes Erya and has a desire to conquer her.

But all the tactics he used on women before, such as playing hard to get and being persistent, were useless.

All the moves were like punching cotton, soft and powerless.

Arya explicitly refused, but would not cut off contact with him.

When Song Yubai used words to tease her, she taught him seriously that business should be business and not involve personal feelings, and she acted like she couldn't afford to lose.

The more she acted like this, the more interested Song Yubai became in her.

This woman was someone he had never seen before.

Ambitious, and never bothered to hide his ambition.

She just wants to make money, and she will take advantage of it as long as there is profit.

It seems that the word "shy" does not exist in her dictionary.

When her identity as a woman was exposed, she admitted it frankly; when his love was confessed to her, she decisively rejected it.

I thought she would draw a line in the sand, but she remained calm and discussed cooperation.

Song Yubai longed for the day when he could completely conquer her.

For example, today is actually one of the steps.

There are all kinds of rare and precious treasures at the antique gathering.

Just as Erya would secretly speculate about Song Yubai's financial strength, Song Yubai would do the same to her.

He felt that with his financial resources, he could spend a lot of money and attract the attention of beautiful women.

As for women, once their hearts waver, things that follow will become much easier.

"Are there Chen family and Lu family?" Erya asked again.

Song Yubai's eyes fell on the basket she was carrying. "You brought Qiongzhou agarwood. Do you want to cooperate with the Chen or Lu families?"

"Yes." Arya admitted frankly.

"Didn't I already give you a price? They won't offer a higher price than me." Song Yubai said firmly, shaking his fan.

"That's not necessarily true."

Erya sees through the man in front of her too clearly.

They say they like and pursue someone, but in reality, when it comes to interests, they won't give in.

He hinted that he would give her a high price because he liked her, but Erya didn't believe a word of it.

Even if it is true, it is not a long-term solution. He just wants to buy his own chips.

Song Yubai showed a playful smile on his face, "You don't trust me so much? Aren't you afraid that I'll be sad?"

Erya was speechless.

"Second Young Master Song, could you please be more serious? Although I'm just a small-time businessman, we're still in the same business after all. Could you please put away your thoughts full of thieves and whores and get down to business properly?"

"A thief and a whore? Tsk tsk, that's really ugly."

"I can curse you even more harshly, do you want to hear it?"

"I want to hear it."

Erya sneered, "Your father sent you to Guangzhou to do business and bring honor to the family. Your wife and children at home wait anxiously for you to return home in glory. And yet, you become obsessed with lust and only think about women?"

Song Yubai is twenty-one years old this year.

He got married early and already has three children.

"You cursed me so harshly." Song Yubai said this, but he was actually smiling the whole time, without any trace of apology on his face.

He thought he was so charming and dashing.

But what she didn't know was that Erya actually hated such men.

However, when it comes to money, Erya will control her emotions.

She doesn't have the capital to wield the moral stick yet.

She can only control herself and not fall in love with such a person.

Talking about money is fine.

"I will be staying in Guangzhou Prefecture for a long time. My family needs someone to take care of my parents, but it won't affect my ability to marry another wife in Guangzhou. This is called a two-way marriage. Regardless of age, both parties are equal and do not interfere with each other."

"No wonder merchants have a low status. It's all because of people like you who have messed up their status." Erya said bluntly.

Whose family is not monogamous?

"A concubine is a concubine. What do you mean by equal status? You are only using these words to deceive fools."

"Zhou Zhou, if you work hard on your own, how many years will it take you to make money? And you follow me..."

"If I follow you, my current wealth will also contribute to your Song family." Erya was very clear-headed.

Many women, although they are rich, are not clear-headed enough and always think about finding a man to rely on.

The result was that the man was not there and the whole dowry was lost.

She smiled contemptuously, "Song Yubai, I really want to cooperate with you. Because you do things according to the rules. But your behavior as a person is really quite different."

Song Yubai laughed heartily: "Why do you think so?"

"There's nothing wrong with putting profit first. I'm that kind of person, too. But I won't use false pretenses to disguise calculations. For me, calculations are calculations, and they can be put on the table for negotiation."

"I really want to give you a plaque with 'Business is Business' written on it, so you can read it when you feel confused."

"Zhou Zhou, if this is really a business matter, why would I bring you to the Zhenwan Yaji today?"

Song Yubai narrowed his eyes, revealing his fox tail.

"Because you are willing." Arya smiled slightly, "Also, because I have a trump card you may not expect."

"What's the trump card?"

"We can discuss this later when we meet at the Zhenwan Yaji Gathering."
