Chapter 396 You did a good job this time
"I've seen it a long time ago. It's all over the news." A middle-aged woman shook her head, her tone full of disappointment. "The Song family used to be so prosperous. I didn't expect something like this to happen now."
"I heard that it was Song Yang, the youngest son of the Song family, who exposed it this time. He is so cruel that he even did not let his own brother go." Another young man interrupted, with a bit of admiration in his tone.
"In a wealthy family, there is no such thing as family affection. It's all about interests." The middle-aged woman sighed, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.
While the outside world was discussing this, the atmosphere in the Song family's old house was extremely heavy.
Mr. Song sat on a mahogany chair in the study, holding a newspaper in his hand, his brows furrowed. The front-page headline of the newspaper read: "The eldest son of the Song family is suspected of manipulating the market, and the reputation of the Song family has plummeted!"
His eyes stayed on the newspaper for a long time, and finally he slowly put it down and sighed. The door of the study was gently pushed open, and Song Yang walked in, with a trace of fatigue on his face, but his eyes were still firm.
"Dad." Song Yang called in a low voice, with a hint of respect in his tone.
Mr. Song raised his head and looked at his youngest son with complicated eyes. He was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "You did a good job this time."
Song Yang was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting his father to say that. He originally thought that his father would blame him or even get angry, after all, he personally made the Song family's scandal public.
"I..." Song Yang opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Mr. Song waved his hand and interrupted him: "You don't have to explain. Over the years, I have always known that you two brothers have been fighting, but I didn't expect that you would solve the problem in this way."
There was a hint of emotion in his tone, as if he was recalling something.
Song Yang lowered his head, feeling a little complicated.
He knew that his father had always placed high hopes on his eldest brother, while he had always been neglected.
But this time, he chose to stand up, not only for himself, but also for the future of the entire Song family.
"I just feel that some things can't go on like this." Song Yang raised his head and looked at his father firmly. "My eldest brother's actions have touched the bottom line. If we don't stop him, the Song family will be dragged down by him sooner or later."
Mr. Song was silent for a moment. "You are right. Over the years, I turned a blind eye and thought that you two brothers could solve it yourselves. But now it seems that I was wrong."
There was a hint of self-blame in his tone, which surprised Song Yang.
He looked at his father, feeling a little sad. He knew that his father had always hoped that they could live in harmony, but the reality was always contrary to his wishes.
"Don't say that." Song Yang said in a low voice, "I will take care of the matter between me and my elder brother."
Mr. Song nodded, with a look of relief in his eyes: "You have grown up and are much more mature than I thought. You did the right thing this time."
Song Yang felt warm in his heart and his eyes felt a little hot. This was the first time his father had affirmed him so directly.
"Don't worry, I will help the Song family get back on its feet." Song Yang's voice was firm and powerful.
“It couldn’t be a worse situation than it is right now.”
"What are you going to do next?"
"The Song family will be frustrated for a while because of what happens next, but I will also help the Song family reach a new peak because of Gu Mo's cooperation this time. This is both a crisis and a challenge."
Old Master Song looked at the slowly maturing Song Yang in front of him, and thought about his eldest son who was about to be punished by the law. He put his hands behind his back and said, "Brothers are not harmonious, most of them are because their parents are immoral."
"For so many years, I have been cultivating you and your elder brother with great effort, but I didn't expect that you would both suffer losses."
"What a sin, what a sin."
There were sighs in Mr. Song's voice. He was blaming himself or regretting why the situation had turned out like this today.
Listening to his words, Song Yang felt uncomfortable.
"Things have come to this, someone has to deal with it."
"Leave it to me this time."
After saying that, Song Yang left the office, leaving only Mr. Song.
All of this not only affected the eldest son of the Song family, but also caused the stock price of the Song Group to plummet like a kite with a broken string.
Inside the stock exchange, the constantly flashing and decreasing numbers on the big screen made many investors anxious.
In the group's conference room, the top executives held an emergency meeting, and the atmosphere was so tense that it could squeeze water out of them. Everyone's faces were gloomy, their eyes were full of anxiety, and they kept discussing countermeasures. At this moment, the situation was out of control.
That night, I sat at my desk at home, my body leaning forward slightly, my eyes fixed on the computer screen, my fingers tapping unconsciously on the desk.
Although we successfully fought back, at that moment, I didn't feel any joy of victory.
The cost of this struggle was too great. It was not just a blow to one person, but more like a storm that swept away the entire family and the business empire associated with it.
"You look like you're worried about something." Jiang Yichen's voice came from the door. He walked in with a cup of hot tea and gently placed it on my table.
I raised my head and forced a smile: "Jiang Yichen, it's nothing, it just happened too suddenly."
He pulled a chair over and sat across from me, his eyes gentle but with a hint of worry: "I see that you have been very tired recently and haven't had a good rest. I know what you are worried about, even though the problem has been resolved."
I leaned back in my chair, rubbed my temples gently, and sighed, "Yes, the matter has been resolved, but I don't feel relieved at all. The price of this struggle is too high. The Song family, the project, and those who were implicated... I always feel that we won, but we also lost a lot."
Jiang Yichen was silent for a moment, then said softly: "I understand how you feel. Sometimes you have to make some difficult choices. But you have to know that everything you do is not only for yourself, but also to protect more people."
I smiled bitterly and shook my head: "But is this kind of victory really worth it? The relationship between Song Yang and his eldest brother has completely broken down, and the reputation of the Song family has plummeted. I always feel that we have gone too far."
Jiang Yichen reached out and touched my head, his eyes revealing worry: "Momo, you did nothing wrong. If you don't fight back, the consequences will only be more serious. Song Yang chose to stand up because he saw the seriousness of the matter. And you, as his partner, are right to support him."
I looked at him and felt a little more at ease.
What Jiang Yichen said made sense, but after all, it was the first time I was accepted in such a way, so I felt a little emotional.
Then he said, "Maybe you are right."
I took a deep breath and raised my voice: "It has already happened, we can only look forward."
Jiang Yichen smiled, with a hint of encouragement in his eyes: "This is the you I know. Don't let the burden of the past hold you back, the road ahead is still long."
"Yes, there is still a long way to go."
The heavy feeling in my heart seemed to be relieved a little.
