Chapter 1156: Chapter 1157: The Unwelcome True Daughter 100

Until the end of his life, Song Dafa remained in Harbor City.

He only returned for Song Weikang’s birthday, his memorial day, and Qingming Festival, for worship; otherwise, he never left Harbor City.

He knew once he returned to the Mainland, his ungrateful descendants would definitely come crying and begging for financial help.

Watching a few children playing in the yard, Song Dafa thought of his own children, the elder’s offspring, and couldn’t help but sigh.

Zhang Yu had just hung up on Fu Jie’s call when she heard Song Dafa sigh, “Why, are you still upset about not being able to go back to worship?”

Song Dafa knew Zhang Yu stopped him from going back for his own good, “I’m getting older, I don’t know how many more times I can return.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve arranged for someone to go and pay respects, they will record it.”

“Besides, there’s no way Song Shijian and the others wouldn’t go to worship.” Perhaps the others were too lazy to pretend and didn’t want to visit Song Weikang’s grave.

But Song Shijian and his son would definitely go to pay their respects. Once prominent, now this father and son remain active in the business world for the Song Family.

Some of the Song’s family members have faded into obscurity, while others, though not gone, are just ordinary wealthy people.

Zhang Yu knew they still resented Song Weikang. If only he had left them a significant inheritance back then, their lives wouldn’t be so hard now.

“Their lives aren’t easy.” Occasionally, Song Dafa would have his caretakers search online for news about Song Shijian and them.

Song Dafa could find such news online, so how could Zhang Yu, living in this circle, not know about it?

Zhang Yu believed that the way Song Weikang and his son ended up was, of course, due to their own fault.

“One was greedy, the other trusted the wrong people.” Seeing how Song Shijian treated his brothers, sons, including his own father, he was always cautious, yet he fully trusted his closest aides.

The result was that he finally got seriously deceived by his aides. “Perhaps it’s a good thing he suffers losses now, otherwise, when he’s older and his mind worsens, the losses would be greater.”

Song Ziming’s IT company, although never able to top the industry, still had decent revenue and profit, and the annual dividends plus salary were not small numbers.

Initially, he remembered Zhang Yu’s advice and Song Weikang’s warnings not to invest.

But seeing Fu Jie again, with his main and side businesses flourishing, his wealth several times more, how could Song Ziming sit still?

The urge to invest surged again, with nobody to dissuade him, he once more embarked on the investment path.

Thus, he quickly squandered all his money and in the end even embezzled public funds to invest in so-called promising projects.

When this was exposed, many people were shocked, incredulous.

They exclaimed it was impossible, how could Song Ziming with so much money embezzle funds to invest.

But the fact remained, Song Ziming did exactly that. He finally resigned from the IT company, becoming a shareholder.

Originally a major shareholder, he had to sell a significant number of shares to compensate for the embezzled funds, reducing him to a minor shareholder.

Even though Song Ziming left the IT company, he was not without alternatives, like returning to work for Song’s.

Even after retirement, Song Shijian did not allow Song Ziming back to Song’s, even though the public speculated if he feared Song’s would be ruined by him, he still wouldn’t change his mind.

After leaving the IT company, Song Ziming considered returning to Song’s, but Song Shijian refused, stating the company was reserved for his grandson.

What could Song Ziming do? The company is currently under Song Shijian, and he calls the shots. Helpless, Song Ziming could only idle away at home.

He wanted to invest again, unwilling to believe his luck was so bad, that most investments failed.

Yet, he currently had no capital to invest. His most valuable asset was his shares in the IT company, from which he depended on for dividends.

As for his property, the ownership was under his son’s name; otherwise, he would definitely sell it to invest.

Seeing Fu Jie on the news attending a meeting, surrounded by big executives from large companies.

He once had the chance to attend such events, but now he wouldn’t even be invited to an ordinary meeting, let alone these high-caliber ones.

Seeing the successful Fu Jie, Song Ziming could only mutter how smug he was, yet still a loner at heart.

Just as Song Ziming’s wife returned with their son and heard his complaints, she gave a few cold laughs.

Before her husband could explode, she signaled their son to go to his room for homework.

The son glanced at Song Ziming, whispered to his mother to be cautious.

Song Ziming’s wife reassured him, and after their son went upstairs, she unhesitatingly started an argument with Song Ziming.

Now, she truly regretted listening to her parents back then, their talk of Song Ziming being a promising young man.

A person with any sense wouldn’t make such mistakes, paying so much tuition yet never graduating.

Ordinary people wouldn’t continue paying after such losses, yet this fool kept doing so relentlessly.

Song Ziming curled his lips, “Even so, the family fortune now is what I earned.”

“I may be down now, but your family isn’t doing any better either.” At this point, Song Ziming sat up straight without realizing it.

Song Ziming’s wife displayed no reaction at the mention of her family. Regarding them, she long ceased to care, “Our son is doing well in school, Dad said he would send him abroad.”

“I want to accompany our son to study abroad.” Song Ziming’s wife had given up on him, thinking it better to focus on their son.

Study abroad? Song Ziming was thrilled, “How come I didn’t know?”

“Where to study, which school.” Despite having studied abroad himself, nobody mentioned this to him.

By the time he found out, his son was preparing to leave, which almost drove Song Ziming insane with anger.

Song Ziming’s wife mentioned the school’s name, “Dad already bought a property there.”

“The passport is ready, the flight is tomorrow?” Song Ziming laughed coldly, “Go, just go.”

“I know you look down on me.” Song Ziming no longer wanted to know the outcome.

Knowing it would just mean more hurt.

“You say I look down on you, look at what you’ve done.”

“You always talk about Fu Jie, but you were nowhere near him even at the start.”

“When he left Fu’s, he had no company in hand, yet he worked hard.”

“Knew what he could do, what he shouldn’t.” Since she was about to leave, Song Ziming’s wife no longer held back.

Even if they were still married, she knew they’d only be spouses in a legal sense.

She wouldn’t divorce Song Ziming; she had to think of their son. Whether it was Song Shijian’s assets or Song Ziming’s, they had to be inherited by her son.

“You’re just like Song Qian.” Song Ziming’s wife thought of the news she just received, gave Song Ziming a cold glance.
