589: Chapter 590: Temptation with Profit
Su Yuya looked at Song Xiaodong and suddenly let out a laugh, saying, “If I were ten years younger, I might have been enchanted by you too.”
Song Xiaodong didn’t expect Su Yuya to say such a thing, and his always calm deanor was instantly broken.
He said awkwardly, “Auntie, that joke is not suitable.”
the smile on Su Yuya’s face grew even more intense as she said, “I’m telling the truth.
I can see now why Qingqing and Xuanxuan are willing to stay with you.
You do have a very unique charm that is particularly fatal to won, especially to young girls.”
Song Xiaodong didn’t know how to respond to that and chose to remain silent.
Fortunately, Su Yuya changed the subject herself, “Little Song, since you’re not willing to be subordinate to the Su Family, how about we talk about a partnership?”
“Partnership?” Song Xiaodong asked, puzzled.”Exactly!
The North has always been overlooked by large families like ours due to its underdeveloped economy.
The families here are far from being on the sa scale as the Su Family.
Why don’t we support you to establish a major family here, gradually taking over the existing ones?
By that ti, you’ll be able to call the shots here, holding a high-ranking position.
Your status would be incomparable to what it is now.”
After finishing her proposition, Su Yuya looked at Song Xiaodong with smiling eyes.
Such an attractive offer was certain to lure any man.
She refused to believe that Song Xiaodong would not be tempted.
Unexpectedly, Song Xiaodong shook his head imdiately and said, “I’m not interested in that kind of thing.
I still want to live a simple life with my family, do whatever I want to do when I feel like it, and not do it when I don’t.
We can play when we want to, have fun when we want to.
I don’t want life to be so exhausting.”
Su Yuya frowned and said, “Don’t you want to live a life where you can call the shots?
Don’t you want people to look at you with admiration all the ti?
Don’t you want to have the power to determine people’s lives just by a word from you?
Don’t you want the ability to control everything?”
Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and replied, “That’s too tiring.
Everyone has their own life.
Why would I want to decide others’ lives?”
“You…
you’re really disappointing .
This is simply an absence of ambition,” she replied.
Song Xiaodong shrugged his shoulders and said, “Yes, I might lack a bit of ambition.
But I really like my life as it is now.
If I were to establish a major family, I would have to balance the interests of all parties, and in the end, I might even have to harm the interests of a few for the sake of the majority.
Like arranging a daughter’s marriage, that’s sothing I really dislike.”
Su Yuya’s mouth twitched, and she glared at Song Xiaodong, saying, “Have you ever considered what you’ll do about Qingqing and Xuanxuan in the future?
You can only give one of them a status right now, right?
But if you establish a major family, you will receive special treatnt beyond what most people can imagine.
It’s not just about giving Qingqing and Xuanxuan status, but even if you were to find several more, you wouldn’t have to worry about not being able to give them status.”
“That…” Song Xiaodong hesitated for a mont.
Imdiately, Su Yuya’s eyes glead as she said, “If you agree to partner with the Su Family, we will certainly fulfill this wish for you and will also fully support their being with you.”
Song Xiaodong turned to look at Su Yuya, but still shook his head and replied, “Although your proposal is tempting, I cannot agree.
I will find a way, but I will absolutely not beco a vassal of the Su Family.
Thank you for your kind offer, Auntie.
I still hope that our relationship can be more pure, just based on kinship, without so much interest involved.”
Su Yuya rolled her eyes and said, “You really are impervious to reason.
Alright, alright, I’ll say no more.
You’re really treating my kindness as though it were a donkey’s liver and lungs.”
Song Xiaodong chuckled but didn’t speak.
He didn’t want to discuss this topic anymore.
Su Yuya, knowing when to stop, didn’t continue and let Song Xiaodong drive her to the hotel.
Before getting out of the car, she sighed and said, “Little Song, if you’re set on this path, I hope you get the chance to bring out Xuanxuan and Qingqing’s mother.
She’s had a tough life, and in her later years, being able to be dutifully taken care of by her daughter would be a form of compensation.”
This ti, Song Xiaodong readily responded, “Don’t worry, I will handle this.
No matter what, she is Qingqing and Xuanxuan’s mother, and I am her son-in-law.
I won’t neglect her.”
“Mhm,” Su Yuya nodded, then pushed open the car door and got out.
When Song Xiaodong got ho, everyone imdiately asked what Su Yuya had said.
Song Xiaodong had nothing to hide, so he relayed almost everything that Su Yuya ntioned.
When it ca to establishing a prominent family and gaining status, Miao Qingqing looked at Xiao Yingying, who imdiately said with a grin, “I don’t care about that.
As long as I can be with Brother Dongzi, I don’t mind whether we have status or not.
The most important thing is that Sister Qingqing can accept .”
Xiao Yingying didn’t mind, but Miao Xuanxuan stole a glance at Song Xiaodong, her eyes shifting around, as if lost in thought.
Song Xiaodong also noticed Song Xiaoru’s body shudder slightly.
However, as soon as Song Xiaodong’s gaze shifted toward her, Song Xiaoru quickly looked away.
When discussing Su Yuya’s suggestion to bring over their mother, both Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan’s bodies tensed.
They had truly never considered this before, but now reminded by Su Yuya, they felt it was indeed sothing they should do.
With reddened eyes, Miao Xuanxuan said, “Then let’s go right away and bring our mom over.”
Miao Qingqing, much calr, replied, “Now might not be the ti.
The Su Family is harboring resentnt, and going to fetch our mom now will certainly prompt them to impose conditions on Dongzi.
I think it’s best to wait a bit.”
Song Xiaodong nodded and said, “That’s what I was thinking too.
Auntie isn’t old, and filial piety isn’t a matter of a single mont.
After so ti, I’ll go with you two to the Su Family, and together we’ll figure out a way to bring her back.”
Miao Qingqing nodded, “Right, this matter can’t be rushed.
If it were that simple, my father would have brought my mother back.
But until his death, he never fulfilled this wish.”
At this point, Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan’s eyes reddened.
As daughters, with their father passed away and their mother not by their side, they were truly heartbroken.
Song Xiaodong put his arms around their shoulders and said, “Alright, leave this matter to .
You two just relax.”
Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan both leaned their heads on Song Xiaodong’s shoulders, their actions very natural, while Song Xiaoru and Xiao Yingying couldn’t help but exchange glances.
The three of them had slept together the night before; could it be that in just one night, sothing had truly happened between them?
