At this moment, no one noticed the situation of Xie Tingyuan and his daughter, or rather, they noticed it but didn't care to pay attention.
Everyone's attention was on the bombshell that Butler Sheng had just dropped.
The Sheng family has three branches in total.
Apart from Sheng Shijing, who openly has no inheritance rights, there are only the lineage of Sheng Anchao, the eldest master of the Sheng family, and the lineage of Sheng Anzhang, the second master of the Sheng family.
Sheng Anchao is the eldest son. He inherited the will of Grandpa Sheng. He joined the team when he was fifteen years old and stayed there for twenty years. He has a high prestige both in the Sheng family and in the team.
In this case, as long as his son works harder, the position of the next head of the Sheng family will definitely belong to Sheng Anchao's lineage.
But Sheng Yunzhou just doesn't live up to expectations!
It’s not that he did anything out of the ordinary, but that he himself had no interest in the Sheng family business.
He is already 24 years old, but he has not even held a nominal position in the Sheng Group. Except for taking over one or two projects occasionally when the Sheng family is assessing him, most of the time he follows Sheng Shijing like a little tail, calling him "little uncle" all the time.
At other times, not to mention other people, even his biological parents could hardly find him.
The other second son of the second wife, Sheng Zhichen, not only had poor health since childhood, but was also sent abroad for recuperation early on. He was not loved by his father and mother, and could basically be ignored.
Under such circumstances, Sheng Zhihuan, the eldest grandson of the Sheng family who diligently reported to work at Sheng Group every day, was highlighted.
It can be said that before today, Sheng Zhihuan was already the default choice of the next head of the Sheng family in the minds of many people.
But at this moment, the old butler Sheng announced in front of so many people that Sheng Zhihuan was imprisoned in the ancestral hall and was not even qualified to attend Grandpa Sheng's birthday party. Everyone's minds immediately became unsettled.
However, they were still at the Sheng family now. They did not dare to discuss the family affairs of the Sheng family in front of so many Sheng family servants and guards. They could only exchange glances with each other and suppress the matter for the time being.
Following the guidance of the Sheng family servants, he slowly walked towards the banquet hall.
After Butler Sheng finished his work, he ignored them and just led Xie Xihe and the other two inside with a smile.
The respectful and flattering look made even the distracted people look at him again and again, feeling puzzled.
Outside the Sheng residence, an extended Lincoln got on.
Song Yi waved away the servant who came to report the news, rolled up the car window, and then looked at his wife and daughter behind him and said, "Did you hear that?"
Mrs. Song Bai Huaqian came back to her senses and said hesitantly, "Of course I heard it, but even if Sheng Zhihuan lost the inheritance rights of the Sheng family, there are still Sheng Yunzhou and Sheng Zhichen. No matter what, it won't be Sheng Shijing's turn, right?"
"When Mr. Sheng first brought Sheng Shijing back to the Sheng family, he made a public promise that he would only guarantee his livelihood but would not let him inherit the Sheng family."
"What happened?" Song Yi interrupted her and said calmly, "When Sheng Shijing wanted to enter the entertainment industry, Old Master Sheng bought the entire Tianyao Entertainment for him to have fun. When Xu Youming of the Xu family displeased Sheng Shijing, Old Master Sheng watched the Xu family fall apart without even thinking of helping them."
"For more than twenty years, Mr. Sheng has treated Sheng Shijing like a patriarch. Not to mention the Sheng family, few people in the entire Kyoto dare to provoke him."
"Isn't this enough to explain the problem?"
"That's because Mr. Sheng is still alive. If Mr. Sheng were gone..." Bai Huaqian said.
"Hua Qian, others may not know this, but your Bai family and our Song family are already the top families in Kyoto. Don't you know this?"
"What agreements, stipulations, and promises? They're all for outsiders to see. As long as Mr. Sheng wants to, he's determined to hand the Sheng family over to Sheng Shijing. What can the rest of the Sheng family do?"
"Don't forget, the Sheng family's guard captain, the person in charge of the Sheng family training base, and the senior executives of the Sheng Group are all Mr. Sheng's confidants. Do you think they will listen to Mr. Sheng or other members of the Sheng family?"
Song Yi's eyes were deep and meaningful as he said, "Grandpa Sheng has doted on this youngest son his entire life. How could he not make every possible preparation for him at the end of his life and let him be oppressed and bullied by others?"
"Believe me, Sheng Shijing is definitely the strongest contender for the position of Patriarch of the Sheng family, and the best husband candidate for our Yan Xi."
Bai Huaqian was speechless. She turned to look at Song Yanxi, her gentle eyes unconsciously filled with guilt and indulgence. She asked her, "Nannan, what do you think?"
Song Yanxi's gaze was still on the direction where Xie Xihe disappeared, and in her mind was the respectful and friendly smile given to her by the old butler Sheng.
After so many years, she is still the same. No matter where she goes, she is the focus. Even if she does nothing, she can easily attract everyone's attention with just her face.
But it's just a face.
Song Yanxi retracted her gaze and smiled faintly: "I listen to my parents."
After a pause, he added, "But Sheng Shijing will most likely not agree."
Song Yi's face suddenly darkened, and he snorted coldly: "He dares!"
"The Song family and the Sheng family are both considered to be one of the four great families. Although the Song family is slightly weaker than the Sheng family in terms of strength, the difference is not much."
"Although Sheng Shijing is not an illegitimate child, he is just the child of a stepmother. His mother is a country girl with no background. He has been able to act so arrogantly for so many years just because of Mr. Sheng's favor!"
"Unlike you, you are not only the second daughter of the Song family, but your mother is also the second daughter of the Bai family. You have been standing above everyone since you were born. What can Sheng Shijing compare with you?"
"Putting aside your background, you were admitted to Kyoto University at sixteen, secured an international exchange student spot at seventeen, and are now a top student at the world's top university. You're proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy, painting, dance, and musical instruments. How can a mere entertainer like him be compared to you?"
"It's a blessing for us to choose him. Do you think he dares to refuse?"
Compared to Song Yi's sharp and aggressive tone, Bai Huaqian was more sensitive. She observed her daughter's expression and asked cautiously, "Nannan, do you know something? That Sheng Shijing..."
Song Yanxi casually tucked the long hair that fell on her cheek behind her ear, smiled faintly, and said, "I met Xihe on the day I returned to China."
The Song family's parents' expressions froze at the same time. Song Yi's brows knitted tightly together, a little unhappy, but he suppressed his temper and said, "Didn't you say you hadn't contacted her for a long time? Why did you go to see her as soon as you returned to China?"
Song Yanxi pretended not to notice her father's displeasure and continued smiling, "It's not just Xihe, there's another person with her."
Mother Song vaguely guessed something and asked uncertainly, "You mean, Sheng Shijing?"
