Upon entering the main hall, a luxurious living room resembling a royal palace comes into view.
Song Yuwei was a little surprised. This renovation would probably take at least ten or eight years to complete.
In her previous life, it took her three years to fully renovate and move into her mansion, which was worth nine hundred million.
This place is infinitely more complex and exquisite than that one.
"Young Madam, please take the elevator. The study is upstairs."
The butler reminded her, and Song Yuwei then withdrew her scrutinizing gaze and was pushed into the golden elevator by Jiang Cheng.
After Song Yuwei went inside, she was even more impressed. Damn, the rich really know how to have fun. The elevator was made of gold, which shows how wealthy their family is.
No wonder Lin Huali wanted to marry her off to the Jiang family so much; he wanted to curry favor with them.
She instantly understood. Tsk tsk, she could never dream of living here.
Once upstairs and out of the elevator, the decorations were still like those of a palace, even more luxurious and magnificent than downstairs.
In the study, Grandpa Jiang opened a drawer, took out two agreements, and handed one of them to Song Yuwei.
Madam Jiang spoke up from the side: "After you sign this agreement, you and our Ah Cheng will be considered a real couple. From now on, you will live in this house and live with us."
"You can tell the housekeeper anytime you need anything. As our Jiang family, we will naturally do everything we can for you as our daughter-in-law."
Song Yuwei nodded and opened the agreement to read it.
Very well, just as she expected, this agreement is indeed an unfair contract, full of demands that she do this and that.
However, it did not mention what benefits would come from doing these things, or similarly, what they would have to pay for them.
Why does this agreement look to me like a contract of servitude?
Song Yuwei raised her eyes and asked coldly.
She showed no stage fright when facing Old Master Jiang.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Jiang's expression changed, and it was clear that he was somewhat displeased.
"Yuwei, you can turn to a couple more pages and take a look. What I just said is all written at the end."
Mrs. Jiang said this in a good-natured and patient manner.
Song Yuwei flipped through a few more pages and then saw what Madam Jiang had said.
In short, as long as she fulfills all the terms written in the contract, the Jiang family will provide for any reasonable and not excessive needs she may have in the future.
She scoffed and asked, "Then I'd like to ask, what exactly are these so-called 'reasonable but not excessive' things listed here? Are there any standards for judgment? And who makes those judgments?"
Madam Jiang awkwardly twitched the corner of her mouth. Although she had participated in this unfair contract and offered many suggestions, it wasn't entirely her responsibility to write it.
Most of it was still Grandpa Jiang's idea, so she didn't know who should set the standard or who should judge it.
"We'll talk about that later. Besides, there are countless things we can do, so I can't give specific examples right now."
Mrs. Jiang's tone became slightly more serious.
Song Yuwei put down the agreement, looking indifferent. "I'll just take a look at this agreement, but I won't sign it."
The butler asked in surprise, "You're not planning to sign?"
Song Yuwei nodded, "That's right, why should I sign such an unfair contract? Just because the Jiang family is rich, does that mean they can do whatever they want? I've never cared about money."
I would never be coerced into signing a marriage certificate for money. Besides, marriage is a matter of free choice; why should it be bound by these clauses?
After Song Yuwei finished speaking, Grandpa Jiang suddenly laughed and said, "Not bad, you have personality."
Madam Jiang looked at Old Master Jiang in surprise. She felt that today was very strange. Everything was happening inexplicably. Logically speaking, wasn't Song Yuwei quite obedient and well-behaved?
They wanted to come and sign the contract right away, but when they saw the contract, they didn't even bother to say a polite refusal and just said they wouldn't sign it.
They even said that the Jiang family was abusing their wealth and doing whatever they wanted, imposing unfair terms. But when these words reached Old Master Jiang's ears, he didn't even show any anger, which was very different from his usual style.
If he had encountered this situation before, he would naturally have been unhappy. Moreover, he is the kind of person who never gives up until he achieves his goal. If others do not meet his expectations, he will definitely find a way to make them meet his expectations.
These are her deepest understandings of him over the years. Few people can choose to go against his wishes. Even Jiang Mo, who has never been very obedient, used to be a little apprehensive when he saw him.
So why wasn't he unhappy at this time, but instead praised Song Yuwei as a good girl?
“You’re right, these contracts do contain unfair terms, and we did intend to use our prestigious family background to get you to sign them. But have you ever considered whether these things are truly unfair to you?”
For example, that ambiguous clause later on—if you need our help in the future and we refuse, you can use that to sue us. If you hire a good lawyer, he might be able to completely reverse the situation, allowing you not only to get what you want but also to turn the tables on us.
Grandpa Jiang even patiently gave her examples, letting her know that there were better ways to handle the matter, and teaching her to see the hidden benefits that were not easily visible.
Mrs. Jiang was even more bewildered.
Song Yuwei remained relatively calm. "Actually, I know I can do that, but I don't like doing those underhanded, shady things. If I want to do something, I'll do it openly and honestly. Those kinds of things are dirty and disgusting, and I have no interest in them."
How could she not see the loopholes in that clause?
Moreover, the moment she saw it, she knew that this was a trap designed to probe her secrets. If she signed the contract and did as Grandpa Jiang said, even if she won, she would be in big trouble.
Given that the Jiang family is such a shrewd and intelligent family, they must have acquired such wealth by some means. Why would they give her a loophole for no reason? That would be wishful thinking.
"You're really smart. It's rare to know so much at such a young age and to be able to hide your thoughts."
Grandpa Jiang said with emotion that the girls in their twenties he had met were often very naive, and none of them had the shrewdness and boldness of Song Yuwei.
Most importantly, Song Yuwei was very bold and spoke out her dissatisfaction with the Jiang family without any hesitation.
