Chapter 446
Before going to the Song family mansion, Yuan Jing and the other two first met Song Chenglue, a middle-aged man who looked strong and shrewd. Song's father and mother would inevitably appear inferior and at a loss in front of such a brother, which made Yuan Jing more determined to bring his parents out of independence.
If his parents lack confidence, then he will become their confidence in the future.
To Song Chenglue, the situation of Song Jieshan and his wife was normal, but his nephew Song Yuanjing was much calmer than his parents, just as his son described. He did not seem like a child born in an ordinary family. If he had been raised in the Song family, he might have grown up to be an outstanding person.
But it's just an assumption. What will happen in the future depends on the choice made by his second brother.
On the way to the mansion, Song Chenglue acted like an elder brother to comfort Song Jieshan and his wife: "We are going back to our own home, there is no need to be nervous. Father and the Song family owed you for letting you wander outside for forty years. Before your mother passed away, she asked your father to find you. Fortunately, you are finally back now. Your mother will be relieved if she is still alive."
What moved Song's father was his biological mother's love. His eyes were slightly red. "I want to go to worship my mother tomorrow and let her see Yuan Jing and his son."
"It's what I should do." For Song Chenglue, it's good to have feelings, which means there are weaknesses that can be easily exploited by him.
It was already dark when they arrived at the Song family mansion, and the lights were on. Yuan Jing's family of three followed Song Chenglue out of the car and walked into the house. Their clothes were also bought by Assistant Tao. Song's father and mother felt a little uncomfortable walking in such a mansion, but seeing their son's calm appearance, the couple felt that they could not let others look down on their son, so they straightened their chests again.
Yuan Jing smiled at his parents, and Song's parents immediately relaxed a lot. Their son told them that if he was not happy staying in the Song family, the worst that could happen was that he would leave. He didn't want his parents to compromise for him.
In the Song family mansion, except for Song Chengfeng, all other members of the Song family were present, including the eldest daughter of the Song family who had married into the Tang family. After all, it was her eldest brother who brought her younger brother back. She came back to support her eldest brother. No one else could be the head of the Song family but her eldest brother, and her interests were the same as her eldest brother's.
When Song Chenglue led people into the living room, the people sitting and talking there fell silent. Several pairs of eyes looked at the three strangers who appeared beside Song Chenglue, and then there was a disapproving "tsk" sound.
Mrs. Song Liu Mengyi slapped her daughter and scolded her, "Xiao Ke, don't be so rude. Today is the first day your second brother and his wife's family return. You are such a jerk."
Song Jinke simply stood up and said, "I'm just staying to meet them. I've already met them. I'll go back to my room first. Call me down when dinner is ready."
Song Jinke stood up and said this, looked at the three country bumpkins with pride, then turned and walked upstairs to her room.
The eldest daughter of the Song family smiled meaningfully: "It seems that Jinke doesn't like the second brother and his wife. Does he have any objections to the second brother and his wife who just came back? If you have any objections, please say it as soon as possible. Don't say that they are young. The children of the second brother's family are Jinke's juniors."
Mrs. Song stood up and called Yuan Jing's family, but ignored her words. It was not easy to control a family of three who had just come from a small place: "This is the second child, your father has been thinking about you for a long time, and finally he has you back. Jin Ke is a child that I have spoiled. Second child, please don't be angry with him. As her mother, I apologize to you on her behalf."
Song's father and mother guessed that the Song family might not welcome them, but they didn't expect to be greeted with such a scene as soon as they entered the door. Now the stepmother apologized to them, what should they say? Yuan Jing shook his head slightly at them. There was no need to say anything. Nothing would be right. The couple simply kept silent.
Song Cheng glanced at the blushing Song Jieshan and his wife, and said to his stepmother Liu Mengyi, "Alright, stop bullying honest people like this. I'll take my second brother and the others upstairs to see father first. You guys sit down. Second brother, sister-in-law, and Yuan Jing, all of you come with me."
Yuan Jing's family followed Song Chenglue to the study upstairs to meet the head of the Song family. The scene just now was repeated downstairs. Song Junqi sneered, clearly making fun of Liu Mengyi. After sneering, he said, "Oh, sorry, I don't have any objections to you and Jin Ke, mom, please forgive me, a junior."
Liu Mengyi was very angry, but Song Chenghang spoke up to defend his mother: "Sister, you and brother pay attention to the second brother who just came back, but I don't know what you have done for the second brother who just came back?"
Song Junqi ignored this half-brother. Did these people forget that the second brother was back, and Yang's Pharmaceutical should also be returned to the second brother? Do these people really think that Yang's Pharmaceutical is theirs? She was waiting to see the show.
If she were to say, her second brother was very lucky. He managed to survive such a terrible situation. His second brother and his wife were not very impressive, but their children were more patient than their parents.
Song's father was in a complicated mood. Although he was mentally prepared, the only person in the Song family who cared about him was his biological mother. But when he really encountered such a scene of intrigue, his half-sister didn't give him face in person. He was still very disappointed. He told his wife that it was for Yuan Jing's good, but would it really be good for Yuan Jing to stay in such an environment? He thought of what his son had advised him.
Song Chenglue knocked on the study door, and the door opened from the inside. The housekeeper invited them in and then closed the door from the outside.
Song Wei Zheng, who was reading a document, looked up at the family of three. His hair was half white, but his eyes were so sharp that Song's father and mother couldn't move their feet.
The sharp look lasted only for a moment, and Song Wei Zheng put it away. He looked indifferently at the second brother's family brought back by the eldest brother. He didn't expect that the second brother was still alive. He pointed to the seat in front and said, "Sit down first."
Song Jieshan and his wife almost stumbled to the designated place and sat down properly. Yuan Jing sat next to his mother and silently comforted her. He felt even more displeased with the Song family. It would be fine for other people, but Song Weizhen was his father's biological father. Even biological father and son had to be scrutinized in this way. Was he just trying to show off his power after just returning?
"Second brother, I am your father. I have heard about your situation over the years from the eldest brother. Now that you are back, you should stay well in the Song family. The Song family will not treat you unfairly. Let the eldest brother help you with the child's enrollment." With Song Weizhen's vision, he could naturally see at a glance that the second brother and his wife were honest people. Honest people are good and will not cause any troubles. Anyway, the Song family is large and powerful, and they will not lack food.
"If you have any other ideas, feel free to tell me, your father, and your elder brother." Song Wei Zheng added.
Song Jieshan looked at his wife and son, and mustered up the courage to say, "We don't have any requests. We just want to pay respect to our mother and let the child meet his grandmother."
Song Weizheng nodded: "This is what I should do."
"Father, shouldn't my second brother also have a share of the things that Ms. Yang left behind? After all, he has just arrived and has nothing with him." Song Chenglue reminded his father.
Song Weizheng frowned slightly. "That's as it should be. Your mother's things should of course be left to you, her son. I'll ask someone to sort them out and see what else is there. Let's do this for now. Ask the housekeeper to tidy up your room in the old house so that you can adapt to the Song family's environment as soon as possible."
"Second brother, let's go."
Song Jieshan stood up, nodded to Song Weizhen, and followed Song Chenglue out with his wife and son. The family atmosphere was completely different from what he had imagined. Such a cold relationship was fine for him, but could his wife and son bear it?
Song Wei Zheng really couldn't remember clearly the things left by his second wife, so he called his assistant to help him sort them out. The things were sorted quickly and the list was delivered to Song Wei Zheng before dinner. His pupils shrank when he saw Yang's Pharmaceutical Company. He really overlooked that Yang's Pharmaceutical Company was Yang Jiahui's family business. After all, all these years have passed. He tapped the table with his fingers. Was the boss's intention to remind him targeting Yang's Pharmaceutical Company?
Deep down, he didn't want his children to quarrel over the family. The older he got, the more he hoped they could get along well with each other. But now Yang's Pharmaceutical was in some trouble. But the second son probably wouldn't care about Yang's Pharmaceutical. Judging from his appearance, it was impossible for him to manage a big company.
He had to find time to talk to Lao Er again. As for the rest, he told his assistant: "After dinner, transfer all these things to Lao Er's name. Now that Lao Er is back, Jia Hui can feel more at ease."
As the head of the Song family, which is a wealthy and powerful family, he had no intention of coveting all of his wife's dowry, but his assistant was a little embarrassed and told the head of the family truthfully: "Some of these things are now in the hands of the wife and the second young lady."
Song Weizheng frowned: "What are they going to do with this? When has the Song family ever lacked anything from them? Tell them to give the things to the second brother."
"Yes, Patriarch."
After giving these instructions, Song Wei Zheng went downstairs to eat. The meal could not be served without him.
This dinner was just as Yuan Jing expected. Song's parents couldn't eat enough. When Song Weizhen put down his chopsticks, they were obviously relieved. But then Song Weizhen said, "Mengyi, you and Jinke return Jiahui's things to the second brother."
The napkins in the hands of Liu Mengyi and Song Jinke fell down. They looked at Song Weizhen in surprise, and then suddenly looked at Song Chenglue. Needless to say, this must be Song Chenglue's doing. Song Jieshan had just returned, so how could he know what his mother left behind.
Song Jinke was immediately unhappy: "Dad, what does this mean? They just came back and they're already clamoring to divide the family property? Oh, how come I don't know what I took? Could it be that I, a daughter of the Song family, would be short of such a small thing? You recognize him, but I don't. It would be embarrassing to tell others about it. Look at how poor they are!"
