In March, the capital city was shrouded in mist and rain.
A few cars occasionally weave through the streets where bicycles are everywhere.
In places like Beijing, you can still occasionally see newly introduced Xiali and Santana cars. Two Santana cars were parked in front of the building near the Song family's residence. They were the big-headed type, which looked a bit bulky.
But in this era, owning a new car imported from abroad is enough to attract attention.
A young man in a suit stepped out of the car with an air of calm elegance; he looked to be only around twenty years old.
The person in charge of receiving the other party was Song Yuzhou, the fourth son of the Song family.
That's the one who went to pick up Song Huayu before!
He was also dressed in a suit, and his handsome, aloof features softened when he greeted the other party.
Song Yuzhou felt that the person he was receiving, although composed, gave off a sinister feeling.
It's as if his calm exterior is just a disguise.
Song Yuzhou was three or four years older than his opponent and had considerable experience.
But now, he can't see through this young man from Haicheng.
"Mr. Yan, this way."
Song Yuzhou led the other person into a quiet corridor, waving his hand to invite him to walk together.
The other person walked with a calm pace, nodding to Song Yuzhou as he did so.
Stepping into the elegantly decorated private room, Yan Shuze couldn't help but glance at Song Yuzhou: "As expected of the capital, there's no place of this caliber in Haicheng."
"The capital is full of alleyways, so please take a seat if Mr. Yan doesn't mind!" Although Song Yuzhou wasn't the type to greet people with a smile, he was quite skilled at hospitality.
Yan Shuze really liked this environment; he felt inexplicably comfortable as soon as he sat down.
Yan Shuzhe did not find the way Song Yuzhou was addressed inappropriate.
His purpose in coming to the capital this time was to resolve the marital relationship between the two families.
When the Song family called Haicheng last time, he couldn't resist coming over, but his family stopped him for a few days.
I just got here today.
Speaking of which...
Yan Shuze still had to call Song Yuzhou his brother-in-law.
After all, the marriage was promised by both families, and he couldn't easily change it.
"Not everyone can afford to live in the hutongs of Beijing."
Seeing that he had little interest in this matter, Song Yuzhou did not mention taking him on a tour of the capital again.
Instead, she asked about Yan Shuze's health: "When my mom called last time, your aunt said you were seriously injured. Are you alright now?"
This was just a polite expression of concern.
To Yan Shuze, however, it became another kind of test.
Yan Shuze smiled and said, "I'm standing right here, perfectly fine. What do you think? Or do you suspect that the Yan family sent a fake to fool you?"
Song Yuzhou withdrew his gaze from him: "How could that be? The Yan family is one of the top wealthy families in Haicheng. Such a family would never joke about something like this."
Yan Shuze said nonchalantly, "Since you brought this up, I won't beat around the bush. Your sister and I are both adults. We have the right and ability to handle our own affairs. Let her come out and meet me directly to clarify the marriage arrangements."
Even the usually composed Song Yuzhou was taken aback by the other party's words.
So fast?
But thinking about it, it's quite normal. Some people can get married even if they've never met, let alone two families who know each other well.
The marriage between the Yan family of Haicheng and the Song family of Beijing is a top-tier alliance.
*
The Song family.
When Song's mother received Song Yuzhou's call, she called her daughter downstairs, dressed her up, and went out to meet people.
At first, Song Huayu thought that Song Yuzhou needed her to go out for social engagements, but when she arrived at the building, she found that it was not what she thought.
Song Huayu was dressed very elegantly today, and her air of a wealthy young lady was on full display.
The name Song Huayu is truly fitting.
Seeing the beautiful girl walking in from the misty rain, Yan Shuze immediately turned his gaze towards her.
Yan Shuze's calm and elegant demeanor was indeed very attractive. Song Huayu saw all of Yan Shuze's advantages at first glance. He was tall and slender with handsome features, and his temperament was so captivating that it drove women crazy.
However.
Song Huayu had fallen for Long Yunting, and no other man could catch her eye.
Although this man is indeed impeccably handsome.
But he couldn't win her heart.
Upon seeing Yan Shuze, Song Huayu realized she had been deceived.
“Hua Yu, this is Yan Shuze, from Haicheng.”
After Song Yuzhou explained the situation, Song Huayu's first thought was to escape!
The matter of the marriage alliance between the Yan family and the Song family was also explained to Song Huayu.
On the very day Song Huayu was forcibly taken back to the capital, the Song family told her about this decision.
To avoid any entanglement between her and Long Yunting, her family made a verbal marriage agreement with the Yan family of Haicheng as quickly as possible.
Song Huayu didn't expect it to come so quickly.
"Fourth Brother..."
Song Huayu looked at her fourth brother with a pale face.
Song Yuzhou warned her not to do anything unnecessary and to sit down and talk to Yan Shuze obediently.
Yan Shuze's bold scrutiny made Song Huayu feel insulted.
To look at you like that on your first meeting, Yan Shuze must not be a good person.
She still prefers the responsible Long Yunting.
Whether it's family background, ability, or appearance, Long Yunting is in no way inferior to the person in front of him; in fact, he is even better.
