Chapter: 721

Upon hearing these words, Ye Chen's heart was suddenly filled with despair.

This old father of mine, doesn't understand anything about antiques or paintings, he's just a small white sheep in a flock, having been cheated so many times and losing a lot of money. In the end, it was only through cheating Zhang Ermao that I earned some.

They say Zhang Ermao is now hiding from him every day, not answering his calls, not responding to his WeChat messages, even seeing him on the antique street wants to run away.

He's this kind of person, a fake pretending to be something he's not in the Painting Association.

But these words wouldn't come out of Ye Chen's mouth naturally, so he just told Xiao Changkun: "Dad, I still have some private funds. Let me transfer 20,000 yuan to you via WeChat."

As soon as Xiao Changkun heard this, he immediately exclaimed with excitement: "Oh my good son-in-law! You've really helped your dad a lot!"

Ye Chen sighed and transferred 20,000 yuan to him, saying, "I'll be back soon, I'm going to cook."

Xiao Changkun received the money and hurriedly flattered him, saying, "Good son-in-law, come help me with the rice!"

When Ye Chen was busy cooking, Wu Donghai and his son, Wu Xin, also left the Song household, driving away in their car towards Tianxiang Manor.

Tonight, Wu Donghai is hosting a banquet at Tianxiang Manor, inviting some prominent figures from Jinling to find clues about what happened to his son, Wu Qiteng, who has gone through some changes. He is also trying to lay a foundation for the Wu family in Jinling.

Although the Wu family is the first family in Jiangnan, it doesn't mean they have sufficient control over the entire region.

The Wu family's main base is in Suzhou, so they have extraordinary control over the surrounding areas. However, Jinling is Song's main base, so the Wu family's influence in Jinling is far inferior to that of Song.

Originally, each major family in Jiangnan had their own sphere of influence, and all families maintained a tacit understanding with each other, respecting each other's boundaries. No one would venture into someone else's sphere of influence to expand their strength.

Wu Donghai didn't originally plan to delve deeply into Jinling, but the key is that his eldest son, Wu Xin, wants to marry Song Wenying from the Song family. To achieve this goal, Wu Xin will have to stay in Jinling for a long time in the future. Therefore, he has prepared to pay a visit to these families in Jinling and bring benefits to Wu Xin's future in Jinling.

Wu Xin has been feeling anxious for these two days, first because last time when he brought up the idea of marriage with Song Wenying, Song Wenying directly rejected it, making Wu Xin feel very embarrassed.

In addition to this, Wu Xin is also worried about Song Wenying's attitude.

He and his dad have been staying at Song's house for a few days, and Song Wenying leaves early in the morning and returns late at night!

According to what Song Rongru said previously, Song Wenying used to eat breakfast at home before going out, and then returned home early to have dinner with her father.

But now, Song Wenying doesn't even eat breakfast, and as soon as she gets up in the morning, she drives away immediately.

In the evening, she also eats after being outside for a while and returns very late, hardly giving Wu Xin any opportunity to see her.

This has left Wu Xin feeling dejected.

He never thought that Song Wenying would actually look down on him and not want to marry him. What's his problem?

On the car ride, Wu Donghai also noticed his son's strange behavior and opened his mouth saying, "You know, you should be more patient about everything. There might not be another girl in the entire Jiangnan like Song Wenying. If you want to win her over, it will definitely require some effort and thought."

Wu Xin was indignant and said, "Dad, there's probably no one younger and better than me in all of Jiangnan? I can choose her, what's his problem that he won't recognize our efforts?"

Wu Donghai said lightly: "You don't understand, the daughters of noble families are always more popular than the sons." JrNovels.com
