Chapter 668: Chapter 481 Marriage Alliance

Two days later.

After Song Yanxi found some time, she would finish work early every day to take care of the baby.

She also liked to walk around the Bund Community with little Chen Lu in the evenings.

The Bund Community housed over eight hundred families, with no small number of one-year-old little girls.

Song Yanxi was stunned by Little Third; this little guy would frequently cry due to being bullied by girls his own age.

This couldn’t go on, especially since those kids weren’t really doing much to him!

Even though Little Third would get bullied by other little girls daily, he still liked to stick around and play with them.

Why does this seem a bit like he’s being a little lickspittle?

She hoped her son wouldn’t still be like this when he grew older.

By the time Chen Pingsheng got back, Song Yanxi once again relayed the situation to him.

This wasn’t a good sign.

Their only son, born with a silver spoon, had tendencies of a lickspittle since childhood.

How could this be alright?

Chen Pingsheng could only helplessly observe for a couple of days after returning; he really didn’t know whom Little Third took after.

To be so honest is really unexpected!

There was no point in reasoning with a one-year-old baby; they decided to wait until he was a bit older.

…

As days leisurely passed, a few more days went by.

Once she had time, Song Yanxi introduced Song Shuiqing to a suitable match, a second-generation rich guy who had studied abroad.

At the age of twenty-nine, he was also quite a handsome man.

Chen Pingsheng inquired about his family’s business, and Song Yanxi said they were in real estate.

Upon hearing real estate, Chen Pingsheng frowned, “Well, if you’re a Xiangjiang real estate tycoon that’s fine, but most real estate developers in the mainland are indebted with high turnover from construction loans.”

“When housing prices soar, everyone makes money; but once they collapse, those first to suffer are the loan-taking homebuyers, followed by these real estate developers.”

“Pingsheng, I checked, and although they are in real estate, their debt isn’t high, and they only have some projects in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai.”

“That’s a relief. You know how it is with real estate—the housing prices have reached the limit ordinary people can afford, and the principle of reversion following extremes is clear to everyone.”

“I know!”

Song Yanxi invited him to meet the person together; Shuiqing had always been closest to their family in Capital City.

Both Chen Pingsheng and Yanxi thought highly of Shuiqing’s future marriage.

One could say she was only second to Yanxi’s own younger sister, Song Wu.

Over the years, Song Wu also met quite a few suitable matches, and Chen Pingsheng even brought her to his group to ask if she liked anyone.

Unfortunately, this sister-in-law was picky and eventually chose someone unreliable like Yang Changwen.

It’s not that he’s terrible, just that if not for Chen Pingsheng’s vigilance, he would likely have been surrounded by numerous “Little Thirds” and “Little Fourths.”

Actually, Song Shuiqing most admired her brother-in-law, having looked up to him since he first came to Capital City.

Witnessing him grow step by step to this scale, it would be false to claim she wasn’t impressed.

After all, women are destined to marry, and of course, she was no exception.

The match introduced by her cousin wasn’t someone she adored, but he was quite pleasing to the eyes.

He was gentle and refined, with a discerning manner of speech.

Having grown up abroad, his insights definitely weren’t lacking.

It had only been half a month since they had been introduced and got to know each other.

If not for Song Yanxi personally making the introduction, Mrs. Tang would have never considered Shuiqing worthy.

In her opinion, no matter how impressive Yanxi’s husband was, he was just Shuiqing’s cousin-in-law.

If it had been a sister relationship like with Song Wu, she would have agreed without a second thought.

And she would have been delighted.

The gap between a sister and a cousin is significant.

During the meeting of both families, Mrs. Tang straightforwardly said there was no need for Shuiqing’s parents to come.

She wanted to talk directly with Song Yanxi.

Only after discussing with Yanxi would she consider whether to allow her son to marry Shuiqing.

Men from Magic City tend to listen to their mothers to some extent.

Especially in matters like marriage, Tang Li was a typical mama’s boy.

Without his mother’s approval, he definitely wouldn’t agree.

Both families agreed to meet in a private room at the Peace Hotel.

The opulent Mrs. Tang deliberately wore a diamond-studded Patek Philippe and a highly conspicuous sapphire necklace.

She wanted to show Song Yanxi that her family wasn’t short of money.

Without securing a certain level of resources from the Chen Family, she wouldn’t agree to Shuiqing marrying into her family.

“Yanxi, you’re finally willing to come out with your husband.”

Mrs. Tang deliberately placed her Hermes limited edition bag prominently on the table.

After sitting down, she started with a couple of light-hearted remarks.

She was a regular at Water Cloud Space and naturally knew Song Yanxi well; she often asked to meet Yanxi’s husband to hang out.

But Song Yanxi would always refuse with a light laugh.

No joke, without discussing Shuiqing, why would her husband accompany a property developer’s wealthy wife to a meal?

“Tang, today it’s not about us being the central figures but about discussing your son’s marriage!”

“What’s there to discuss? How they get married is ultimately up to your family, isn’t it?”

Chen Pingsheng didn’t like it when he saw Tang Li barely speaking.

Now, hearing this, he was even more displeased.

Chen Pingsheng said, “There’s no need to beat around the bush, speak openly!”

Mrs. Tang knew well that with the qualifications of the man in front of her, any trickery would backfire.

“Mr. Chen, let me first tell you about my son. He started studying abroad at the age of ten, always at prestigious schools. Since returning to the Mainland, even though he only joined our family company, his capability is widely acknowledged. Both his father and I have only this one son, and he will certainly inherit our real estate company in the future.”
