Chapter 1258: Chapter 1258: Persuaded (Part 2)

Qi Lanqin glanced at Song Xiaodong who was about to leave and said softly, “But I’m embarrassed, it’s too… direct.”

Feng Kexin said, “What’s wrong with being direct? Anyway, we’re definitely going to be with Brother, so just open your heart and enjoy the happiness of being with Brother.”

“This…” Qi Lanqin’s face turned even redder, but it was clear she was tempted.

Feng Kexin chuckled, “Hehe, then Brother is yours tonight.”

“No, no, I really can’t do it alone, I’m scared.” Qi Lanqin shook her head repeatedly.

“Then shall we be together tonight?” Feng Kexin’s eyes lit up.

“This… this…” Qi Lanqin said “this” several times, but couldn’t continue any further.

“Giggle, then it’s settled. Tonight I’ll teach you, you’ll love it.”

Before Song Xiaodong left, he had already heard most of their conversation and couldn’t help but shake his head. Feng Kexin was right; he wanted to give Qi Lanqin a romantic experience, but it was really not easy.

But he could not force Qi Lanqin on this matter. In the end, it would still depend on her thoughts. He would do his best with what he could, and the rest would depend on whether Qi Lanqin could understand.

Chapter 1259

When Song Xiaodong came to Beijing, it was natural for him to discuss cooperation with the He family, and he talked with the important figures of the He family for nearly half a day.

Many things progressed quickly. The marriage alliance between the two families was not the same as typical large family alliances. The biggest difference was that Song Xiaodong was the Family Head, so he could make decisions on all matters.

In other alliances, it was usually the younger generation, and family matters were not their turn to decide.

Of course, this situation was quite rare. In the entire big family circle, aside from Song Xiaodong, the youngest Family Head was over fifty, unlike Song Xiaodong who became a head of a family in his twenties.

Also importantly, Song Xiaodong was young, and the Su Family was on the rise, plus there was their background, which the He family had to value.

After the business talk, the old master said, “There is a cocktail party tonight, Little Song, you should attend. All the guests are from big families, and it’s good for communication and networking.”

Song Xiaodong said, “Of course, I should get to know them, especially since we’ll be developing in Beijing, and these people are the ones I need to connect with.”

Around five o’clock, Song Xiaodong set off with the old master of the He family, along with two second-generation members of the He family, and a few young people of the He family.

He Lingzhi originally didn’t want to go, but the old master insisted she had to attend, so she reluctantly agreed. Since Qi Lanqin and Feng Kexin’s statuses made it inconvenient for them to attend such gatherings, the He family arranged some bodyguards for them, and they went out for fun.

The He family, as one of the ten major families in Beijing, even if ranked eighth, was a giant and even those before them couldn’t be underestimated.

The He family, attending such a cocktail party, naturally received various forms of respect.

However, for Song Xiaodong, the Family Head of a regional family, these Beijing Families generally looked down on him with their noses held high.

Many people were unaware of Song Xiaodong’s connections, and these Beijing Families did not pay much attention to regional families, so it was very normal for them to look down on Song Xiaodong.

Even if Song Xiaodong was to marry into the He family, they thought the Su Family was just clinging to the He family, just like the younger generation marrying into other families.

Initially, Song Xiaodong was with the old master and those Family Head-level people. He wanted to engage with them, but one by one, they ignored him, making him feel quite bored.

Since the others didn’t regard him as anything, Song Xiaodong was too lazy to play along with them here. He decided that once the Su Family stabilized in Beijing, even if they wanted to cling to him, they wouldn’t be able to.

These cocktail parties generally consisted of three groups of people gathering separately.

The first group consisted of Family Heads, who were naturally fewer, discussing major issues and strengthening ties.

The second group was the second-generation members, who were generally important figures within their families, managing the family’s operations. Their discussions mainly revolved around politics and business.

The third group was the younger people, who didn’t have a specific purpose other than networking and establishing connections. It would take at least ten years before they could truly exert influence.

Song Xiaodong hesitated for a moment and decided to join the young crowd, at least there would be He Lingzhi and the He family’s people, so it wouldn’t be too dull.

Upon entering the hall where the young people were gathered, a few people near the door glanced at Song Xiaodong and ignored him because they didn’t know who he was.

There were many people here, lots of small groups, very lively. He Lingzhi and the others were nowhere to be found for the moment, and Song Xiaodong hadn’t spotted them yet.

“Hey, which family are you from? You look so unfamiliar.”

After taking a few more steps, two young men approached Song Xiaodong, one of them sizing him up curiously.

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, “I’m from the Su Family.”

“Su Family? There is no family named Su in Beijing. Have you heard of it?” The young man frowned and turned to look at his companion.

The other young man also frowned and said, “No, if there was such a family, how could we not know? Kid, where did you come from? How dare you impersonate here? Do you have a death wish?”

Song Xiaodong replied with a smile, “I’m from the Su Family in Ningjian Province.”

“Oh, from Ningjian? Then why are you here? This is a gathering for Beijing Families, you regional family members think you can mingle here?”

“The Song family’s hotel security should really tighten up. How can they let all sorts of riff-raff in.”

The two guys were quite rude, not taking Song Xiaodong seriously at all.

Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but frown. Among the Beijing Family offspring he’d encountered, like that Lian Qiang, they were all arrogant to the extreme, and these people seemed quite similar.

“Hey, get out, this isn’t a place for you.”

“Yeah! You don’t belong here. A small fry from a regional family trying to mix with Beijing Families, that’s just wishful thinking.”

“What are you still standing there for? Do I have to call security to throw you out?”

Song Xiaodong’s face darkened as he asked, “Which family are you from?”

“Which family? Haha…you’re asking which family we belong to? Are you planning to take revenge?”

“No, no, I think he’s just planning to tattle—to his parents. Let me tell you, with the strength of your regional family, even if your dad comes here, I’d still throw him out.”

The two guys laughed arrogantly, and as the surrounding people heard the commotion, they gathered around. These young folks loved seeking amusement, so witnessing some fun was something they couldn’t miss.

Seeing so many people gathering, those two guys became even more spirited. One of them glared and shouted, “Kid, I give you five seconds to get out of here immediately!”

Song Xiaodong was really too lazy to argue with these young people, so he snorted and turned to leave.

“I said to roll out, not walk out. Got it or not?” another person directly blocked Song Xiaodong, looking at him with a face full of mockery.

“Are you sure you want me to do that?” Song Xiaodong asked calmly, his eyes already exuding an indescribable chill.

“That’s right! We want you to roll out; are you rolling out or not?” These two shouted in unison, their eyes filled with complete disdain, not taking Song Xiaodong seriously at all.
