Chapter: 1350

Yu Boyi knew that Kong De Long was definitely very angry, so he hurriedly returned to the banquet hall and reported to Old Mr. Song.

Old Mr. Song heard that he wanted to leave, and a hint of regret flashed across his expression, but quickly recovered to normal and said calmly: "Since Kong Young Master wants to leave, then let him go."

Old Mr. Song's expression changed suddenly, and he blurted out: "Ah, Grandpa, Kong Young Master has come to collaborate with us deeply this time, how could we let him leave like that?"

Grandpa asked: "If he wants to leave, can't we still force him to stay?"

"Oh my goodness..." Old Mr. Song exclaimed anxiously: "Grandpa, you're acting crazy! You who are so perceptive and far-sighted, can't you figure out Kong Young Master's purpose in coming to our family this time?"

Wan Ting blurted out: "Brother, how could you say such a thing to Grandpa?"

From childhood, Wan Ting had never known her parents. In her eyes, Old Mr. Song not only played the role of grandfather but also that of parent.

So, Wan Ting couldn't bear anyone disrespecting Old Mr. Song, even if it was her own older brother.

Old Mr. Song glanced at Wan Ting's eyes, where a hint of disdain flashed briefly before he looked sad and said: "Sister, Grandpa, Kong family came to our family because the Wu family is now in decline. The seat left by Jiangnan's first family has become vacant, and Kong family must want to take advantage of this opportunity. I think his purpose in coming to us is to collaborate with us and support us to become Jiangnan's first family. We would also rely on Kong family in the future, just like having a strong backing in Yanjing. This is a great and balanced situation!"

In fact, Old Mr. Song had already guessed Kong family's true intentions.

Like him, a white-haired old fox who had risen from scratch, even though he was old, his grasp of the overall situation and understanding were still extremely profound and deep.

He had long been aware that as Wu family's influence declined, the power dynamics among Jiangnan's big families would definitely shift again.

The old king steps down, and a new king rises up. This is an eternal truth in history.

However, he never thought that Song family would have a chance to become a new king in Jiangnan's big families.

After all, Song family has strong strength on this land of Jinling, but compared to the entire Jiangnan, it is indeed weak.

This time Kong De Long came, and he also saw through Kong De Long's intentions.

Kong De Long must be coveting his granddaughter's beauty, wanting to pull Song family in while making Song family become Kong family's lapdog on one hand, and take his granddaughter as his own on the other.

If it were before, even if he had seen through all of this, he wouldn't have refused his olive branch.

After all, such a good opportunity doesn't come often. Jiangnan has many families that want to do favors for the big families in Yanjing, and even become their oxen, horses, or slaves. It's just that those in Yanjing look down on them.

Yan City has many hidden families behind whose wealth is not something Jiangnan families can understand.

So, no one knows how much money the entire Ye family has.

The entire Ye family has dozens to hundreds of direct relatives. Among these dozens to hundreds of people, even the poorest has assets worth tens of billions to nearly a hundred billion. The richest ones' assets are even in excess of ten billion. This family's true strength is awe-inspiring.

This is just among the top-tier families domestically. If it were European or American families with over two to three centuries of history, they would have even more money that could rival a country.

Like the Ye family, they too are extremely low-key and never let their names appear on any rich lists.

The Rothschild family has operated for hundreds of years, with countless descendants. However, not a single one can be found on any rich list. JrNovels.com
