Half an hour later, Song Xiaodong and Yang Yushi were already dressed, with the main thing being that the embassy here had arranged for them to leave.
This wasn't a matter of wealth differences, but rather because Yang Yushi and Song Xiaodong were figures of national importance; they had too much work to do, not merely because they were wealthy.
After some ups and downs, the two finally set foot on the land of Beijing.
Yang Yushi held onto Song Xiaodong's arm like a young wife, and said, "Dongzi, we're going to separate once we leave the airport."
Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "Yeah, I can finally go home."
Yang Yushi lightly shook Song Xiaodong's arm and said coquettishly, "I can't quite bear it, even though these days have been tough for us, they are definitely the most memorable days of my life, and I will never forget them."
Song Xiaodong said, "Oh, it seems..."
"Don't play dumb, I know exactly what I'm saying. It's not some special emotion caused by special circumstances; I truly like you, and I'll try my best to make you like me."
Song Xiaodong turned his head to look at Yang Yushi, and said, "You've said it like this; if I refuse again, wouldn't that be too insensitive? Besides, if you come into the Song family, it will significantly change the Su family, something needed by everyone."
"Let's not be so utilitarian, okay? I want you to genuinely like me; if you let me in for utilitarian reasons, I'd despise you for that."
Song Xiaodong chuckled lightly, and said, "You really are awkward. Well, at any rate, we're like this now; we'll have opportunities to be together in the future."
"Sure, anyway, if I have some free time, I'll come stay at the Su family for a couple of days to nurture feelings. We need to spend time together, otherwise we wouldn't have any chances. Don't kick me out, okay?"
"Always welcome."
As they walked, they chatted and laughed, quickly arriving at the exit.
At the entrance, several Yang family members were already waiting there. Seeing Yang Yushi walking out holding Song Xiaodong's arm, the Yang family members looked surprised.
Yet no one said much.
"Dongzi, remember the promise you made to me," Yang Yushi kissed Song Xiaodong on the face, then let go of him, walking towards the Yang family members.
The Yang family members' eyes were widened in astonishment. Others might not know Yang Yushi well, but the Yang family members knew her very well. This eldest lady of the Yang family had never found a man to her liking before, but now she was intimately close to Song Xiaodong and even kissed him. Has she truly fallen for him?
Song Xiaodong was then received by the He family, in Beijing, the He family was still the closest to Song Xiaodong, because he was the son-in-law of the He family.
The cooperation between the He family and the Su family was growing even closer, with the Su family leveraging some connections through the He family to reach into Beijing.
The He family was also extending some businesses to Ningjian, creating mutual benefit and pleasant cooperation.
Song Xiaodong also chatted with Old Master He about the trip to Africa, Song Xiaodong briefly said, "This time it was almost a wasted trip; we happened to catch them in a civil unrest."
Old Master He laughed heartily, and said, "Although Africa didn't produce any gains, your relationship with the Yang family girl advanced significantly; that's an even better gain."
Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "Old Master, are you worried I don't have enough women?"
Old Master He chuckled heartily, and said, "If they were ordinary women, I would think you shouldn't get involved anymore. But if it's someone like Yang Yushi, how could there ever be too many? Even if you get involved with many more, as long as you can settle them down and capture their hearts, it would only be beneficial and not harmful. If you have the ability, you should go after the other two talented ladies too. Then your status in Beijing will shoot to the top, and no family will be able to compete with you."
Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "Could the entire Beijing Families change just because of a few women?"
"Ordinary women wouldn't have such power; the role of typical alliances through marriage isn't very significant, but these three women are different. They themselves already possess great power, comparable to a family, and combined with their family influence, getting them would be equivalent to getting their family's support, and it would indeed have such an effect."
Song Xiaodong shook his head, saying, "Let's leave it at that; I don't want to chase after any woman for the sake of benefits."
Old Master He said, "But what's wrong with that? Even if a typical alliance through marriage doesn't feel suitable at first, with time together, most of them turn out well. Take Lingzhi and you for example; you're getting along well now, aren't you?"
Song Xiaodong said, "Although Lingzhi and I get along well now, honestly, I still feel guilty towards her; it's not really mutual understanding and love that brought us together, which is unfair to her."
Old Master He looked at Song Xiaodong in surprise and said, "Dongzi, despite the Su family developing to this extent, you, as the Family Head, still have thoughts like this; it really puzzles me."
Song Xiaodong shrugged and said, "Maybe the difference between me as the Family Head and other Family Heads is that while I do care about the family's interests, I won't force anyone to do things for the sake of benefits. We still hope to achieve greatness through our family's collective efforts."
