The next afternoon, near dusk, Jiang Yiyu and Song Ming, along with Jin Beisheng and Lin Qingqian, walked into the courtyard of the Han family in South City.

On the way, Jin Beisheng said that he would give him a big gift today. Jiang Yiyu didn't take it seriously at first, until he walked into the main hall and saw Jiang Yuan smiling and flattering the old man of the Han family to the utmost, then he realized that the gift Jin Beisheng wanted to give him was to see Jiang Yuan make a fool of himself.

Under the leadership of Jin Beisheng, Jiang Yiyu and Song Ming went directly to the second floor with them.

The four of them stood at the railing, looking downstairs. The waiter brought them drinks. Song Ming handed a glass of red wine to Jiang Yiyu and whispered, "Don't be too sympathetic."

Jiang Yiyu took the cup and hummed without saying anything.

He looked at Jiang Yuan's servile and flattering appearance, and to be honest, he felt a little uncomfortable, after all, his surname was also Jiang.

Jin Beisheng took a sip of wine slowly, leaned towards him, tilted the goblet in his hand slightly, and pointed to the serious young man standing next to Jiang Yuan.

"This is the Han family's eldest grandson, Han Zhiqiu. He's about the same age as you and me. He's a politician and holds a position second only to the emperor in Nancheng. He's also the most important person Jiang Yuan tried so hard to curry favor with by breaking into the Han family's dinner today. Unfortunately, Han Zhiqiu is a very upright person, and the Han family happens to have plenty of money, so Jiang Yuan is destined to return home disappointed today."

"I've heard that name."

"If Jiang Yuan can't get Han Zhiqiu's help today, he will be asked to settle his mistakes next Monday."

"Are you related to the Han family?"

Jin Beisheng smiled: "Han Zhiqiu should call me uncle."

"Boss Jin, I'm trying to climb above your level."

"I wouldn't say I'm marrying above my station, but my Qianqian really likes your wife. I hope that next time she goes to play with Miss Song, you can be more generous and not disrupt the girls' happy social time."

"Fuck, Jin Beisheng, you really are... you're willing to do anything to win over your wife. But I'm confused. Why did you do so many things, but none of them worked?"

Jin Beisheng turned his head to look at Lin Qingqian, who was busy replying to messages on her phone, and lowered his voice again: "Wait a little longer, it will definitely help."

Jiang Yiyu sighed and shook his head helplessly: "We are not going to have to watch Jiang Yuan trying to please Han Zhiqiu all night long upstairs, are we? Mr. Jin, have you forgotten that my last name is Jiang? If he embarrasses himself downstairs, I will also lose face."

"I thought your last name wasn't the same as Jiang. At least at the Han family tonight, I can assure you that no one will think that you and Jiang Yuan's last name have the same character Jiang."

"People's hearts are hidden. How can you know what others think or say about me? To be honest, from the age of sixteen until now, what I hate most is attending these so-called celebrity banquets."

"Then you have to adapt in advance. After all, no matter how badly the Jiang family is damaged, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Also, dealing with Jiang Yuan is not the most difficult thing you will face. Considering that we are barely friends..."

Jin Beisheng and Song Ming, who had been listening, exchanged a glance and said, "The most difficult thing you will face is how to revive the Jiang family after dealing with Jiang Yuan. After the process is completed next week, most of the Jiang family will collapse.

Let me tell you the truth. You should be aware of this yourself. Jiang Yuan has been involved in quite a few things. He's collaborated with many people, many of whom are untouchable. So he's destined to bear a lot of blame, and these blames will definitely crush him. You'd better be able to protect yourself. Otherwise, no one can guarantee that all your hard work over the years will not be in vain.

"I know what's going on."

Jin Beisheng lowered his eyes and chuckled: "However, there is one thing you did very cleverly, which is to involve the Song family. The Song family has the Jiangcheng Wang family behind them, and they are powerful and influential. It won't be difficult for them to protect you. Of course, seeing that my Qianqian likes your wife so much, I won't stand idly by."

"Thank you very much." Jiang Yiyu clinked his glasses with his. "It's better to not take advantage of the situation than to try to get the skin of a wolf."

After talking for a while, Jin Beisheng was called downstairs by the old man of the Han family.

As soon as he left, Song Ming was obviously relieved. He found a corner with few people and sat down. Jiang Yiyu leaned against the wall and sent a message to Song Shengsheng. Song Ming said, "The aristocratic families in South City give people a more exciting feeling than ours."

"What's the meaning?"

“It’s more like an aristocratic family.”

Jiang Yiyu put down his phone and followed Song Ming's gaze towards the main hall on the second floor, where groups of people were chatting and laughing. "After all these years, I still can't fit in with this atmosphere."

Song Ming smiled and said, "It's a coincidence, me too. I wasn't surprised by what Jin Beisheng said just now. I originally thought it was nothing, not that serious, but when he brought it up so seriously, I suddenly felt a little scared."

"There's nothing to be afraid of. Since he can tell us the truth, it means that the things we are worried about will not happen."

"It's definitely not going to happen, but I'm still a little uneasy."

"You advised me not to think too much yesterday."

Song Ming looked up at him and smiled: "Maybe it's because we are not in our territory now."

"Young Master Song, why are you so reserved? The Song family in Beijing and the Wang family in Jiangcheng are both your backers. Your status and position in the South City scene are also very outstanding!"

Song Ming crossed his arms, smiled and sighed, "But in South City, I'm just a rootless mayfly. If Jin Beisheng weren't our ally, and I were singled out, I'd be like a powerful dragon meeting a local snake, and I'd have to avoid him. But it will be the same when he arrives in the capital. But I have to say, the best thing you did in the past two years was to win him over. Otherwise, I'm afraid we'd still be taking a detour."

“Everything I did was right.”

"Yes, yes, you're awesome, but are we just going to stay here all night?"

"Who's stopping you from socializing? Just go."

"Forget it, buddy, I'd better sit here with you. Otherwise, when you go back to the capital and complain to my sister, that girl will scold me again. I'm really scared of her. The last time she scolded me, I got carried away and started looking for true love, but ended up getting married. If she scolds me again this time, oh my, I'm afraid I'll have to get married again."

"Get lost! How has our Wen Jing ever wronged you? You're thinking about remarriage again! If you keep messing around, I'll beat you up before I scold you!"

Song Ming smiled and clasped his hands together before bowing to him in a pleading manner: "Just a joke, just a joke. If I miss this completely free-range village for me, where can I find such a comfortable marriage again? To be honest, I haven't felt like I have a wife even after a few months of marriage."

"Don't you just want a marriage that doesn't care about you?"

"But I always feel a little strange." Song Ming took a sip of wine and put down the empty glass: "After chatting for a while, are you feeling better?"

"You've been coaxing me the whole time, haven't you?"

"What else? We're the closest of friends here, aren't we, brother-in-law?"
