Chapter 136: This is the Real Refreshment

Hearing this, Ye Chen smiled helplessly and said: "It seems Miss Song doesn't want to be restricted by the Song family?"

Song Wanting nodded and said: "I really don't want to, but I have no other way."

"Why?" Ye Chen said seriously: "I think your grandfather's concept should have changed after this life-and-death crisis. Plus, this time you found me, which saved his life. If he is really grateful to you, you ask him for freedom, or the right to freely decide your future husband. I believe he should agree."

Song Wanting shook her head with a bitter smile and said: "Impossible. Even if grandfather feels sorry for me and wants to agree, he dare not agree."

"Why?" Ye Chen asked puzzled: "Isn't your grandfather the head of the family? He controls everything in the Song family. What else is he afraid of?"

Song Wanting said seriously: "The Song family has developed to this day for so many years, and many branches have developed. The branches rely on rules to restrain each other, so that everyone obeys the family rules. Otherwise, once you break the rules, others will imitate. Once your family's children have free marriage, other families' children also hope for free love. In that case, the Song family's loss will be very heavy. If everyone is so disobedient, decades later, the Song family may be defeated."

As she spoke, Song Wanting said again: "The Song family can stand firm since the end of the Qing Dynasty and grow to this day, mainly because everyone abides by the family rules and does not cross the line. Even if the family is divided and there are many branches, we are also supervising each other between branches. No one is allowed to have anything that damages the interests of the Song family."

Ye Chen sighed and said seriously: "I always thought Miss Song was a very strong woman. I didn't expect you to be a trapped beast, everything has to be obeyed by others."

"Yes!" Song Wanting sighed very depressedly and said: "This kind of thing cannot be resisted."

Speaking of this, Song Wanting shook her head, picked up the wine glass, and said: "Mr. Ye, let's not talk about these unhappy things. Come, drink! Let me toast you another glass!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass, and said: "This glass of wine is toasted to freedom!"

Song Wanting was slightly stunned.

Toast to freedom?

Where does her freedom come from?

Although she was very depressed, she still forced a smile, nodded and said: "Come, let us toast to freedom!"

Another glass of wine went down, Song Wanting was more drunk. She looked at Ye Chen and sighed: "Many times I would rather be born in an ordinary family. In that case, my life might be more difficult, but there would definitely not be so many restrictions. What my family can bring me, besides this high status and the wealth I can't spend in several lifetimes, has not given me any happiness in the real sense."

Ye Chen smiled and said: "Many ordinary people actually envy you rich people who never have to worry about money. Isn't there a saying, I would rather cry in a BMW than laugh on a bicycle. In your eyes, an ordinary family is very rare, but in the eyes of ordinary people, this ordinariness is exactly what they want to get rid of most. Everyone sharpens their heads, isn't it just to make money?"

Song Wanting looked at Ye Chen and said seriously: "Mr. Ye, you are not for money! You don't seem to care about the amount of money at all. Just like just now, a pill is ten million, you can earn tens of millions casually, but you don't want it, you have to give it away. Isn't this treating money like dirt?"

Ye Chen smiled indifferently, thinking, I treat money like dirt, that's because I don't lack money.

You didn't see it when I lacked money.

At that time, Aunt Li was seriously ill. In order to raise enough medical expenses for her, I lowered my voice and opened my mouth to borrow money from Old Mrs. Xiao at her birthday banquet.

I thought she believed in Buddhism, so she would have the Buddhist idea that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, and maybe she would lend the money to herself.

But I didn't expect that she believed in Buddhism on the surface, but in reality, she was an extremely greedy and shameless person.

At that time, if someone wanted to give me one million, I would even be willing to kneel down for him for this one million.

People, when they have no money, cannot resist the attraction of money.

Those who can really treat money like dirt are those who already have money that they can't spend.

For example, me now, is one or two million a fart? I don't know how to spend the billions in my account, and I don't know how to spend the billions of profits of the Dihao Group a year.

In this case, what is the meaning of this one or two million? I would rather not have this money, let them worship me, call me Master Ye, call me a great benefactor.

This is the real refreshment!

It's just that I can't tell Song Wanting these words.

She now thinks I am a saint who treats money like dirt and has heaven-reaching skills.

Since so, why not let her continue to think so!

At this time, Song Wanting was a bit drunk and talked to herself: "Actually, I can endure anything else, but in the matter of marriage, I really don't want to be controlled by them. I don't want to be their chess piece, don't want to marry a man I don't love at all, and don't want to give my youth and happiness to the Song family. I don't want to repeat my mother's mistakes..."

Ye Chen asked curiously: "Your mother, was it also an arranged marriage?"

"Yes." Song Wanting nodded and said: "My mother married my father and was never happy in her life. She was depressed for many years and passed away at a young age."

Ye Chen remembered that Song Wanting lost the relic her mother left her last time. According to Hong Wu, her mother had been gone for more than ten years.

Song Wanting is about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. It is estimated that her mother passed away when she was ten. In that case, her mother was really very young when she passed away.

Song Wanting drank a glass of wine alone, played with the wine glass in her hand, and said with a full face of apology: "Sorry Mr. Ye, let you listen to so much nonsense from me."

Ye Chen hurriedly said: "Miss Song, don't say that. You can choose to tell me these things, it must be your trust in me."

Song Wanting nodded gently, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said: "Speaking of which, thank you so much today Mr. Ye, not only saved my grandfather, but also listened to me complain so much nonsense, thank you!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said: "No need to be so polite, everyone can be considered friends. It's too polite between friends, it seems distant."

"Hmm!" Song Wanting nodded heavily and said: "It's getting late, Mr. Ye, why don't I send you back."

Ye Chen waved his hand: "You don't need to send me, but you can't drive in your situation. It's best to find a designated driver."

Song Wanting nodded and said: "Don't worry, the female manager here can help me drive. Let me send you back first!"
