Because of its unique characteristics, the Song family had always lived on a mountainside on the outskirts of the imperial capital.
Although it was located in a remote area, the recent land development was good. It was connected to the subway and close to the western area of the Imperial Capital.
However, no matter how it had been developed, the Song family would always enjoy the most privileged position.
It was reported that the Song family mansion had been built in this area on the advice of a famous Feng Shui master.
The Song family was indeed extremely glorious, but everything had changed when Song Yanqing was born.
Now, Song Yanqing’s grandfather was in charge of the family corporation.
When old man Song was younger, he’d sired two sons. While the eldest brother was robust, the second son had been sickly ever since he was a child and spent years recuperating abroad.
The Song family had more female relatives, and other relatives of the Song family also gave birth to girls. Although the Song family didn’t favor sons over daughters, all the sons in the Song family had daughters.
This made them even more anxious.
Daughters would inevitably marry into another family, and their children would have to take the surname of the other family. It was impossible to recruit a son-in-law, and it was even more impossible to recruit one for each of them. Moreover, the daughters of the Song family were quite capable. Most of them were studying abroad or were career women.
Song Yanqing was born under such circumstances. As the only male of this generation, he had attracted much attention.
His father was the youngest son of the Song family.
However, like his second uncle, he was extremely sickly.
He was the lifeblood of the Song family. Even if his body was feeble, they would just use the best medical equipment and provide him the best medical treatment to keep Song Yanqing alive.
There were various rumors as to why he was so sickly.
Although he was feeble, his specific disease had never been revealed to the public.
The Song family kept it a secret.
Qiao Fei and the others followed Mu Zhenming inside and received considerable attention.
Although not comparable to the members of the Song family, the Mu family was a rising star in high-class society, and they attracted much attention.
In particular, Mu Zhenming was well known for his cheesy epic romance with Qiao Fei. In order to pursue Qiao Fei, Mu Zhenming had fought his father for decades. He finally forced his father into exile abroad and took Qiao Fei back again. This had caused an uproar in the imperial capital.
Everyone looked at them, and besides the business partners who wanted to strike up a conversation with Mu Zhenming, people’s eyes were mostly on Qiao Fei and Qiao Jin.
Qiao Jin didn’t know many people, but most of the rich heiresses and socialites usually had nothing to do, and Qiao Fei’s affairs had long been everyone’s tea time gossip. They also knew little about her adopted daughter, so naturally they were interested.
Mu Zhenming took Qiao Fei and the others to meet the head of the Song family.
Although it was Song Yanqing’s birthday party today, he was extremely sickly, so he would only come out to say hello when it officially started later. He would not see anyone alone. f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺
It was his father, Song Siyin, who helped him host the party.
Mu Zhenming brought the family over and greeted Song Siyin casually, just to let him know that the Mu family was there. He didn’t have time to talk with everyone one by one.
Such an occasion was a business networking event in and of itself. After Mu Zhenming greeted Song Siyin, naturally someone would come up to talk to him, and Mu Qichu and Mu Qilian would be sought out by people of the same age.
Even Qiao Fei was greeted by some socialites who wanted to use the Mu family to climb socially.
Qiao Jin seemed awkward by comparison.
Of course, she didn’t think so.
Everyone in the Mu family had their own social circle. Qiao Fei asked her to follow Mu Qichu, but Mu Qichu was already socializing with others. Qiao Jin took something to eat from the long table next to her. Mu Qichu merely looked away for a moment and then discovered that Qiao Jin was missing.
