277: Chapter 278: I Will Fight for Happiness
Song Xiaodong did not truly have the ability to determine Shen Dongyang’s career path, but when it ca to influence, if he genuinely put his mind to it, there was absolutely no problem.
Before returning to Tiannan City, even the highest national leaders had seen Song Xiaodong by their side.
The health of a nation’s top leader was a matter of great concern for the entire country.
Song Xiaodong even had the miraculous ability to prolong the lives of those nearly dead.
Which leader wouldn’t value that?
When Song Xiaodong had served these leaders in the past, he always spoke sparingly.
However, in future encounters, if he casually ntioned a word or two for Shen Dongyang, the leaders would definitely take it seriously.
For them, it was just a matter of a few words, but for Shen Dongyang, it could be a significant influence.
Perhaps so people think the amount of money Song Xiaodong asked from the Ding family was too much, but considering Song Xiaodong’s life-prolonging ability and how significant the demand was, and the caliber of people who had sought such services before, they wouldn’t feel the money was excessive.
In this chess ga, the two played for two and a half hours.
As the ga progressed, Shen Dongyang was completely imrsed in it.
Besides the initial shock, he remained quite calm for the rest of the ti.
Song Xiaodong appreciated this imnsely.
He had seen too many people who would resort to any ans for a promotion.
People like Song Xiaodong, who could offer a potential career boost, would be venerated regardless of your age.
When they ca out, the al was almost ready.
Miao Qingqing and Shen Yue were helping in the kitchen, engaging in a relaxed chat with Sun Dongxiang.
During dinner, Song Xiaodong and Shen Dongyang started drinking.
Shen Dongyang did not put on airs like an elder, and although Song Xiaodong was polite, he did not show any sycophantic attitude.
They drank like old friends, enjoying a cheerful and liberating experience.
This made Miao Qingqing secretly admire him.
Facing a deputy mayor with such ease was incredibly rare and showed that Song Xiaodong was sufficiently confident.
The dinner lasted two hours.
Shen Dongyang drank quite a bit, but his speech remained coherent, not overly excited nor nonsensical, just seemingly a bit sleepy.
The quality of a person’s character is often revealed in how they handle their liquor.
Many get excited and boastful after drinking, but such people rarely achieve great things as they are easy to manipulate.
Shen Dongyang obviously had great self-control in this regard.
By seven o’clock, Shen Dongyang could drink no more, and Song Xiaodong and Miao Qingqing also got up to leave.
Sun Dongxiang helped Shen Dongyang into the house, leaving just his wife with him.
Then, Shen Dongyang sighed and said, “It’s a pity.”
“What’s a pity?” Sun Dongxiang massaged her husband’s forehead.
Shen Dongyang said, “Such a fine young man, Little Song, and our Shen Yue can’t be with him.”
Sun Dongxiang imdiately said, “Do you an that Miao Qingqing, President Miao who ca over?”
“Not her,” Shen Dongyang shook his head.
“Then what is it?”
“This child is not an ordinary one, once he ets the storm, he turns into a dragon!” Shen Dongyang murmured, and then fell into a deep sleep.
Sun Dongxiang gently hit her husband, scolding, “You old fool, always falling asleep mid-sentence.
You really drive
crazy.” However, she still helped him remove his shoes and socks, covered him with a blanket, and tiptoed out of the room.
When she reached the dining room, Sun Dongxiang and Shen Yue were cleaning up the table as she spoke, “Shen Yue, today your dad seed a bit off.
He said you and Little Song can’t be together.”
Shen Yue paused montarily, but quickly bit her lip and said, “That won’t happen.
I’ll fight for it.”
“Fight for it?
What do you an?
Are you saying that Little Song has a girlfriend?” Sun Dongxiang frowned suddenly.
“Yes, Miao Qingqing ntioned that Big Brother Song has a girlfriend.”
Sun Dongxiang imdiately furrowed her brow and said, “If he already has a girlfriend, then let it be.
We shouldn’t interfere.
Our Shen Family can’t afford to be the third wheel.”
Shen Yue, however, showed a different kind of determination and said, “Mom, it’s not about being the third party.
Miao Qingqing also said that now several people like Big Brother Song, and she likes him too, and she’s also fighting for him.
I want to fight for my own happiness as well.”
“But Little Song does have a girlfriend, doesn’t he?” Sun Dongxiang’s mindset was very traditional and conservative, otherwise, she wouldn’t have considered matchmaking as a way for her daughter to find a boyfriend.
With a sweet smile, Shen Yue said to Sun Dongxiang, “Mom, don’t ddle in this, please.
I rarely fight for my happiness.
What if I succeed?
Don’t you think Big Brother Song fits your standards for a son-in-law very well?”
Before Sun Dongxiang could reply, Shen Yue took her arm, eyes squinting into crescent moons, and said, “I have never really liked a man before, but this ti I truly fell for Big Brother Song, and my affection for him grows.
Even if I don’t succeed, I won’t have any regrets.
But if I don’t even try, I will regret it for the rest of my life.
Even if I end up marrying soone else, I will always think of him.
So, please let
resolve this regret.”
In a mont, Sun Dongxiang didn’t know what to say and sighed, “I’m just afraid you’ll get hurt because of this.”
Shen Yue gently swayed Sun Dongxiang’s arm, grinning broadly, “It won’t happen.
I know what I’m doing and I am fully prepared for failure, so you don’t have to worry at all.”
In the middle of the night, Shen Dongyang woke up thirsty.
Sun Dongxiang, who had still not slept, imdiately got him a glass of water and recounted what Shen Yue had said that day.
Shen Dongyang’s eyes lit up as he said, “Truly worthy of being Shen Dongyang’s daughter.
She’s brave.”
“What?
You also support her doing this?” Sun Dongxiang imdiately frowned.
Shen Dongyang, all smiles, said, “Yes, I support her, truly support her.
Little Song, this man, is not simple at all.
We only see his surface, but what’s deeper, we can’t even imagine.
If Shen Yue really ends up with him, it would be the biggest luck in her life.
This risk is worth taking.”
Sun Dongxiang, sowhat displeased, said, “I think you’ve gone mad too.”
Shen Dongyang chuckled and responded, “Just trust
on this, and let our daughter be wilful this ti.
This ti, her approach is definitely correct, and you’ll see in the future.”
“You both are really mad!” Sun Dongxiang couldn’t help but feel speechless.
Still, she absolutely trusted Shen Dongyang’s judgnt, as his foresight was beyond her comparison.
