"Indeed, as you said, he's an adopted son. To reach that position, he must be highly capable. In terms of background, he has no reason to look down on you," Jiang Yongfeng saw things clearly. A man like Song Yunsheng was actually a better match for Li Xichi than those from proper big families.
Although Jiang Yongfeng was saying that she and Song Yunsheng were a good match, Li Xichi just felt something was off when she heard these words.
"Mom, what are you talking nonsense about?"
"For a relationship, a good match in family background is important. If he were the real grandson of Old Master Song, I'd never agree to you two being together."
"Why? Do you look down on your own daughter so much?"
"Yes. Those truly born with a silver spoon in their mouths have better conversations and broader horizons. You'd never be able to keep up, and others would look down on you. But Song Yunsheng is different. Old Master Song definitely won't arrange a business marriage for him. His wife can't be too powerful. Once Song Yunsheng's power gets too great, Old Master Song will have trouble controlling him. So, with your background, you're more to Old Master Song's liking, and your chances of success are much higher," Jiang Yongfeng analyzed seriously.
Unfortunately, no matter how seriously she analyzed, Li Xichi just couldn't listen. She was now full of thoughts about Song Yunsheng.
Jiang Yongfeng of course didn't know what she was thinking. Seeing her silent, she thought Li Xichi had taken her words to heart. Jiang Yongfeng continued to chatter on, "I'll persuade your dad. As long as you two succeed, our Li family will support Song Yunsheng. By then, when Song Yunsheng takes control of the Song family, you'll be the proper young mistress of the Song family. You'll be much better off than Li Xiyu."
"But doesn't Old Master Song have a real grandson?" Actually, this was also a problem Li Xichi was currently worried about. She never expected Song Yunsheng to come to visit. This was like meeting the parents.
She originally just wanted to get the Song family's endorsement through Song Yunsheng's connection. Of course, Song Yunsheng was handsome, and being with him wasn't a bad deal for her. She was even a bit excited.
But when it came to marriage, Li Xichi hesitated.
It was too early. She was still young. This was the prime time for an actress. If she got married young, her career would be ruined.
Moreover, she hadn't had enough fun yet.
Even though Song Yunsheng was so outstanding, she didn't want to be tied down to just one man.
But Jiang Yongfeng obviously didn't think so.
Jiang Yongfeng said with a smile, "Don't worry. Your dad and I will use this to hold him in check. Only if he marries you will we help him become the head of the Song family."
"But... can we really control the Song family?"
"We can't control the Song family, but we can control that grandson of the Song family who was lost outside. As long as we find that person and deal with him, then the position of the head of the Song family will surely be Song Yunsheng's."
Jiang Yongfeng had already analyzed the situation of the Song family. Old Master Song was the top decision - maker in the Song family, but he was old and wouldn't last for many years. Those relatives in the Song family were all well - known prodigals. With Old Master Song's temper, he wouldn't hand the company over to those prodigals.
As long as Old Master Song's real grandson wasn't found, then Song Yunsheng would be the most likely heir.
After all, compared to those playboys, Song Yunsheng really had some skills.
Li Xichi lowered her head and said, "It's still too early to tell." Her relationship with Song Yunsheng wasn't even confirmed yet. Today, she mustered up the courage to kiss Song Yunsheng, but Song Yunsheng didn't react at all. He even told her to be more dignified in the future.
This really frustrated her.
"Don't worry. With mom here, mom will help you."
Li Xichi sighed. She didn't know how to talk to her mother anymore.
On the other side, Li Xiyu and Song Jiaye finally returned to Xiyu Manor. Sister Liu was waiting in the manor. She packed up Li Tong's clothes and put them in his small room.
As soon as the two kids, Li Tong and Li Xiyu, got home, they started holding the remote control and watching TV.
They had almost watched all the cartoons on TV. Li Qiyu remembered the documentary that Song Jiaye had filmed last time. She wanted Li Tong to help her find it.
But Li Tong searched for a long time and couldn't find Song Jiaye's documentary. After the copyright expired, Song Jiaye quickly sent letters to all major platforms asking them to remove the documentary.
Not finding Song Jiaye's documentary, the two instead found a very obscure film, which was about an ancient poet.
The name of this poet was Anonymous. He left many wonderful poems, most of which recorded the story of him growing up with a childhood sweetheart.
When Li Tong was searching, he accidentally found this. As soon as he clicked in, the first picture showed eight big characters: Donglin Is Flourishing, Chunyu Can Find Shelter.
Li Qiyu immediately saw that her name and Zhou Donglin's name were in it.
Was this a coincidence?
She didn't allow Li Tong to change the channel and just listened to the host introduce this poet.
Song Jiaye went upstairs to contact someone to inquire about Song Yunsheng. By the time he finished dealing with it, the clock had pointed to half - past eleven. He stretched and then found that downstairs, Li Qiyu and Li Tong were still watching TV.
Li Qiyu always had a very healthy schedule. Usually, she would have been asleep by this time.
Could it be that she had fallen asleep on the sofa?
Song Jiaye walked downstairs and came to the sofa. He found that Li Tong had fallen asleep in Li Qiyu's arms, while Li Qiyu was concentrating on watching a documentary about poetry.
When did Li Qiyu develop this interest?
Song Jiaye patted Li Qiyu's shoulder and kindly reminded her, "Xiyu, stop watching. It's half - past eleven. Look at Li Tong. He's so tired that he's fallen asleep."
Before, the host had been talking a lot of nonsense. Finally, when the host started to introduce the poems, she was just about to watch, but the program was really annoying. It got stuck at this time.
Li Qiyu didn't know that it got stuck because she needed to pay. She looked at Song Jiaye, who had just come downstairs to tell her to go to bed, pitifully.
"Can you help me play this TV program?"
Song Jiaye advised, "It's very late. Stop watching."
As he said this, he leaned over, picked up Li Tong with both hands, and wanted to carry him back to his room.
Li Qiyu stared at his side face. The light from the TV shone on his side face, making his face look even more angular.
Li Qiyu remembered what Li Tong had said to her in the car.
Give Uncle - in - law a kiss, and Uncle - in - law will surely listen to you in everything.
Give him a kiss? And he'll listen to me in everything?
Li Qiyu hesitated for a moment. After all, as an ancient woman, not to mention that she was about to kiss a man who wasn't her husband now, even in ancient times, kissing one's own husband was a very bold act.
