Chapter 1270: Chapter 1268: Truly in Love with Brother (Triple Release)
“Of course not.” Qi Lanqin blushingly gave Feng Kexin a playful hit.
Feng Kexin giggled and said, “Haha, if you’re looking forward to it, just admit it. There’s no need to be shy between us, especially since you already slept in brother’s bed yesterday.”
“I… you bully me! I’m not going to talk to you anymore.”
Watching the two women laughing and joking, Song Xiaodong felt amazing, chuckled, and said, “Let’s go, let’s get something to eat. There will definitely be a lot happening today.”
After breakfast, Song Xiaodong and the Old Master were sitting in the living room chatting. Several important figures of the He family were also present, but their expressions were rather grim.
“Dad, we received news this morning that Chen Yong’s True Qi was completely destroyed. The Chen Family is extremely outraged, and Old Master of the Chen Family is furious beyond belief. This happened right under his nose…”
The Eldest Young Master Chen paused here, glanced at Song Xiaodong, and then continued, “Patriarch Song acting like this is blatantly disregarding the Chen Family, and the Chen Family is sure to retaliate crazily.”
The Fifth Young Master Chen also frowned and said, “Currently, the Dongfang Family has made contact with the Chen Family among the top ten ranked families, and there are also heavyweight families like the Murong Family, among a dozen others. If they unite against our He family, we simply have no way to handle it.”
The Sixth Young Master Chen snorted and said, “This matter, our He family shouldn’t bear it. We can’t bear it, and it’s pushing our He family into the fire pit.”
He Qingsong wanted to defend Song Xiaodong but opened his mouth only to be unable to say anything. This matter had blown up too much; as a member of a prominent family, he naturally considered the overall interests of the He family. Sacrificing the entire He family for just one son-in-law, Song Xiaodong, was simply unwise.
Old Master He said calmly, “So, what are your thoughts?”
The eldest of the He Family hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, “I recommend canceling the marriage alliance with the Su Family. This matter was caused by the Su Family and has nothing to do with us. Since there’s no formal engagement, our He family can withdraw without any impact.”
Song Xiaodong leaned back on the sofa, remaining silent, but his expression was quite relaxed.
Old Master He looked at the others and slowly asked, “What do you all think?”
After a brief hesitation, they all said, “We agree with eldest brother’s opinion.”
Old Master He shook his head and said, “You all are too focused on immediate benefits. Some things you still haven’t seen clearly. In this matter, our He family must stand with the Su Family, and this marriage must proceed. If the Chen Family wants to fight, then we’ll fight. Life that’s too comfortable can be quite boring at times.”
The members of the He family were wide-eyed, never expecting the Old Master to make such a decision. More importantly, the reasons he gave didn’t seem convincing at all.
Just then, someone hurriedly ran in from outside, standing at the door and said, “Old Master, someone from the Yang family requests to see you.”
Old Master He’s eyes lit up, glanced at Song Xiaodong, and asked, “Who has come?”
“It’s Yang Zhenyong, Second Lord of the Yang Family.”
Old Master He immediately said, “Quickly invite him in! You all go to greet him promptly.”
The members of the He family hurriedly stood up. The Yang Family, ranking second among the great families, was usually not very close to the He family. This sudden visit, especially by a heavyweight figure like Yang Zhenyong, had unusual implications.
