Chapter 192 The Rules of the Chen Family
Song Yilin brought Bai Guanqun to the cemetery. When Bai Ye passed away, they originally wanted to bury him in Yishi, but his mother-in-law said that people should return to their roots, so they brought his ashes back.
For so many years, I've only paid my respects at home and haven't really come to the cemetery.
Fortunately, the management here is quite good; everything is cleaned, and the staff helped us buy flowers when asked. There were also no weeds around the grave.
Bai Guanqun bowed to Bai Ye.
"Dad, I've come to see you."
Song Yilin set out the offerings.
She seems easily influenced by those around her. She wouldn't have set out offerings like this before; she would usually just have someone buy a flower or something.
After marrying Chen Yan, she would offer incense and offerings to the Chen family ancestors on the first and fifteenth of each lunar month, a custom she had developed.
They did the same to Bai Ye.
Song Yilin tidied up the cemetery.
She silently said to Bai Ye in her heart, "Bai Ye, I'm married again, I'm pregnant, I'm doing well now, and you should take care too."
I suddenly thought of Xianglin's wife, who was bound by feudal ethics because she married two men.
I wonder if she'll end up in the underworld with Bai Ye, Chen Yan, or Xu Qingmin someday.
Just think about her dramatic life.
When I came back to pack my things and prepare to leave, Xu Qingmin returned.
He didn't say anything, just quietly watched Song Yilin pack.
The servants of the Xu family noticed that Xu Qingmin's gaze was not right and made an excuse to leave.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Qingmin stepped forward and gently embraced her.
He always wanted to stick to his principles and not interfere with Song Yilin's marriage, but he couldn't help wanting to hug her whenever he saw her.
"I can't bear to part with you."
“If you have time, you can bring your child to see me when you go to Binzhou. It’s just an occasional meeting, and the people at Lijiang Group won’t have much of a problem with that.”
Xu Qingmin patted her hair: "No, I don't want to cause you any trouble."
After all, Song Yilin's ability to secure that position depended on Chen Yan's wife. If that wife cheated on him, they wouldn't approve of her.
Song Yilin has not yet firmly established herself in Lijiang Group.
"Let's go. I'm sorry, I can't see you off."
"I'll go with your mother. She'll take good care of me."
"That's good."
As they left, Xu Qingmin stood at the highest point of Building No. 2 and watched them.
Song Yilin waved to Xu Qingmin generously before getting into the car.
Xu Ming booked the tickets for the return trip, and we flew first class.
I flew business class when I arrived.
Xu Ming has been serving her hand and foot lately, and she has almost forgotten that Xu Ming is a wealthy woman.
There were only the two of them in first class.
Xu Ming covered her with a blanket: "Yilin, do you still want to get back together with Qingmin? He still loves you very much. Maybe he did something wrong before."
Xu Ming also thought it was a problem with the prenuptial agreement?
"Mr. Xu, do you also think that this is the reason we broke up?"
"I can guess it's about Guan-qun, but my son might also have a problem, right?"
"Xu Qingmin is fine; I was the one who proposed the prenuptial agreement."
This time, Xu Ming was confused: "Why? If you don't sign that prenuptial agreement, and if you have any problems one day, even if you get divorced, what you get will ensure you have no worries for the rest of your life."
"My earning power will ensure I have no worries for the rest of my life."
Xu Ming thought about it and agreed.
Although Song Yilin was supposed to support two elderly people, Bai Guanqun no longer needs her support.
The annual salary at Lijiang Group is also quite considerable.
After serving as the general manager of Lijiang Group for a few years, she could live a life without working.
Song Yilin slept for more than half of the two-hour flight.
Pregnant women are indeed more prone to sleepiness.
When flying to Jianghai City, she shouldn't have saved that two dollars; she should have slept more comfortably in first class.
Back in Binzhou, another bloody storm ensued.
The money from the sale of the dock arrived on Monday.
Song Yilin directly set up an investment company with this money and put the money into the investment company.
When Lijiang needs money, this investment company provides it.
It's not a good thing that Chen Yan has too much of a stake in Lijiang Group.
Anyway, this investment company also belongs to Chen Yan.
They also transferred several elites from Lijiang Group and poached an industry expert to manage this investment company.
Selling the dock will solve Lijiang Group's cash flow problems.
Vice President Chu came over as usual, speaking in a sarcastic tone: "President Song, you're quite the expert at selling your husband's assets."
"That's right, I sold it for a much higher price than Chen Yan."
"This was originally Chen Yan's premarital property. You set up an investment company and it became jointly owned by you and your husband. You're a master."
Song Yilin then realized what was happening and applauded Vice President Chu, saying, "Thank you, Vice President Chu. I wouldn't have thought of that if you hadn't reminded me."
"Song Yilin, your greed is known to the whole world. Xu Qingmin is probably one of the people who sees you very clearly."
"Greed is not a bad thing. A gentleman loves money but acquires it in a proper way. Everything I have obtained is legal, so Vice President Chu, please don't be envious. If you really can't stand it, you can go to the detention center and talk to Chen Yan. Chen Yan is not dead, he is alive. Even if he is inside, he can still remotely manage his remaining wealth."
Vice President Chu's face was as red as a palette: "President Chen is completely bewitched by you, how could he possibly listen to what I say?"
It seems he has already met with Chen Yan, but failed to persuade him and was even rebuffed by Chen Yan.
I checked the date, and today is the first day of the lunar calendar again.
We need to offer incense to the Chen family ancestors again.
When I was pregnant with Bai Guanqun, I dared to ride a bicycle, but now that I'm pregnant, I don't even dare to drive a car.
Now, Xu Ming drives her to work, and sometimes picks her up from get off work, while the company driver picks her up from get off work.
Chen Yan had previously given it to his female driver, and now she was giving it to Yu Lan to use.
Having not visited the Chen family villa for a long time, Song Yilin noticed a little dust on the altar, so she wiped it with a cloth.
Yu Lan thought about helping her as she watched her work.
The aunt stopped her and said, "Miss Yu, your identity is unknown. Don't offend the Chen family ancestors."
Actually, if Chen Yan didn't mind, Song Yilin would be quite willing for Yu Lanchun to help her burn incense.
But in Chen Yan's eyes, only members of the Chen family are qualified to offer incense to his ancestors.
Even his housekeeper isn't allowed.
This auntie was also particularly obedient to Chen Yan's rules.
Yu Lansun slowly withdrew her hand.
There was a hint of embarrassment on his face.
Song Yilin devoutly offered incense, kowtowed three times, and stood up to say to Yu Lan, "You don't need to feel jealous. Every family has its own rules. Since you've chosen this path, you have to share the hardships along the way. There's no such thing as a free lunch. I enjoy a high salary and the life of a rich wife with Chen Yan, but I also need to put in the corresponding effort. You've only contributed, so you have to swallow the corresponding grievances yourself."
Yu Lan softened her tone and said, "I understand, Madam."
