Chapter 394: A Small Token of Appreciation
Before Ye Chen arrived at Tianxiang Mansion, the Song family's stance had already spread throughout Jin Ling, and then spread throughout the upper-class society of Jiangnan.
No one expected that the Song family, as the number one family in Jin Ling, would openly challenge the Wu family, the number one family in Jiangnan.
This is going to be a good show.
Song Tianming and Song Rongyu, the father and son, heard this news and were immediately so angry that they almost exploded on the spot.
What is wrong with Old Master Song?
At yesterday's birthday banquet, it didn't matter if Old Master Song got angry with Wu Donghai. Everyone had a little unhappiness in private, and they could talk about it later.
But now the old master is openly challenging the Wu family, which is almost equivalent to publicly announcing a complete break with the Wu family, and even possibly becoming a mortal enemy with the Wu family!
Both father and son felt that why did the old master bother? Even if you want to curry favor with Ye Chen, you don't have to openly turn against the Wu family, right? In that case, the Wu family might be against the Song family everywhere in the future.
Not only that, with the old master doing this, the possibility of Song Wanting and Wu Xin being together is even lower!
The Wu family also got this news and was very angry.
Originally, the Wu family was already in chaos, and now Old Master Song suddenly said he wanted to fight the Wu family to the end, which made the situation of the Wu family even more uncomfortable.
The Wu family already had enough internal family matters to give them a headache, and suddenly another Song family came out to sing the opposite, which naturally made the Wu family even more irritable.
Old Master Song was still lying in the hospital bed, and Wu Donghai ordered the whole family not to tell the old master about the Song family's stance, and at the same time made a decision to temporarily ignore the Song family and not respond to the Song family's stance.
At the moment, the Wu family's prestige had suffered a great loss.
Although they were still the number one family in Jiangnan, the news of offending the Ye family of Yanjing had already caused a storm in Jiangnan.
Before, the outside world didn't know who the Wu family had offended, only that the short video platform had been pinning the crosstalk insulting their whole family to the top of the homepage.
Today, the news of the Ye family acquiring the short video platform came out, and the outside world immediately understood that the person the Wu family had offended was actually the Ye family of Yanjing!
Families that originally had a good relationship with the Wu family were now distancing themselves from them one after another. This was mainly because the Ye family was too powerful, and no one wanted to be too close to the Wu family at this time.
In this way, the Wu family was also put in a passive position, and because many families wanted to draw a line with them, their overall strength was also affected not a little.
At this time, the Wu family no longer had the energy to fight against the Song family. After all, they had a bigger enemy, Ye Chen.
Song Wanting drove to Tianxiang Mansion, and Master Hong Wu hurriedly greeted her.
Seeing Ye Chen tall and handsome, and Song Wanting beautiful and generous, Master Hong Wu couldn't help but praise in his heart: *This is a golden boy and a jade girl, a talented man and a beautiful woman! With Miss Song's beauty and upbringing, looking at the whole country, there may not be anyone who can compare!
Hong Wu respectfully invited Ye Chen and Song Wanting to the diamond box, and Old Master Song, who was old and strong, had been waiting here for a long time.
Seeing Ye Chen come in, Old Master Song hurriedly stood up and bowed, saying to Ye Chen, "Master Ye, you are here, please move to the main seat!"
Ye Chen smiled slightly, "Old Song, you are the oldest, you should sit in the main seat."
"How can that be!" Old Song hurriedly said, "Master Ye is a true dragon among men in Song's eyes, the main seat should naturally be sat by you."
Song Wanting also hurriedly said on the side, "Master Ye, Grandpa has always had great respect for you, you should sit in the main seat."
Ye Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "Since that's the case, then I will obey."
After speaking, Ye Chen sat down in the main seat.
Master Hong Wu hurriedly said at this time, "Master Ye, Old Master Song, Miss Song, please enjoy the banquet, Hong Wu will not disturb you anymore!"
After speaking, Hong Wu carefully left the box.
There was no one else in the box, so Old Master Song took out a golden bank card from his Tang suit pocket, held it up respectfully with both hands to Ye Chen, and said reverently, "Master Ye, you gave me an opportunity yesterday, Song is truly very grateful! I have nothing to repay, so I prepared a bank card for you. This card has one billion in cash, which is a small token of appreciation from Song, please accept it."
Ye Chen looked at the bank card and said, "Old Song, I don't lack money, you should take this card back."
Ye Chen was telling the truth.
He had more than twenty billion in cash, but now he had no chance to spend it.
Old Master Song insisted, "Master Ye, Song knows you are definitely not a person who lacks money, but you bought that three-hundred-year-old top-quality purple ginseng for a sky-high price of one hundred million in cash at the Chinese medicine expo last time. In the future, if there are any good medicinal materials to auction, if you are slightly short of money and miss a good thing, I think you will regret it, so please accept this money, it can also be used for emergencies."
In fact, Old Master Song sent money to Ye Chen, and he also had some selfish motives.
He knew that Ye Chen bought the top-quality purple ginseng, which led to the Rejuvenation Pill, and he also benefited greatly, so he thought, if he sent Ye Chen more money, if Ye Chen could buy better medicinal materials in the future and refine better medicine, wouldn't he have a chance to get Master Ye's opportunity again?
So, he stood up, knelt on one knee, held the bank card with both hands, and said, "Master Ye, a small token of appreciation from Song, please accept it, otherwise Song will keep kneeling!"
Ye Chen hurriedly helped him up, smiled slightly, and said indifferently, "Since that's the case, then I will accept it."
"That's great!" Old Master Song stood up happily and said to Ye Chen, "If Master Ye has any place where he needs money in the future, or anything else that the Song family can help with, just speak up, Song will definitely do his best to help you solve it!"
Ye Chen nodded slightly and said, "Old Song has a heart."
"Where, where!" Old Master Song said happily, "Song is lucky to have received the precious opportunity given by Master Ye, and naturally hopes to do more for Master Ye. In the future, I will serve you and repay Master Ye's kindness!"
After speaking, Old Master Song hurriedly said, "By the way, Master Ye, the password for this card is Wanting's birthday."
Ye Chen looked at Song Wanting and asked curiously, "Wanting, is your birthday December 1st?"
Song Wanting hurriedly stood up, bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Back to Master Ye, Wanting was indeed born on December 1st."
Ye Chen nodded and said, "Then it's less than a month until your birthday."
"Yes," Song Wanting nodded nervously, then tentatively asked, "Master Ye, Wanting might want to hold a small birthday banquet, I don't know if Master Ye has time to attend?"
Song Wanting finished speaking, her eyes like a bright moon staring at Ye Chen's face, looking forward to Ye Chen's promise.
Ye Chen considered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Since it's your birthday, then I will naturally come to support you. Just tell me the location when the time comes."
Song Wanting was very happy, hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you Master Ye!"
Ye Chen said, "Wanting, our ages are about the same, so we don't need to be so polite."
Song Wanting nodded gently, her white teeth parted, "Okay Master Ye, Wanting knows!"
