Chapter 435 - 435 435 Family Ties at the Dinner Table

435: Chapter 435: Family Ties at the Dinner Table 435: Chapter 435: Family Ties at the Dinner Table “It doesn’t really matter to us, but once Yu Wei and Qin Han heard you were coming back this time, they definitely wanted to arrange something,” Song Yuanqiao said with a smile!

Upon hearing this, Yu Wei’s uncle glanced at Qin Han and Song Yuwei and said indifferently, “Let’s not go to such expense next time.” He didn’t seem too enthusiastic.

After the family had taken their seats in the private room, Yu Wei’s uncle took out a cigarette, offered one to Song Yuanqiao, then handed one to Qin Han, but Qin Han declined it.

Seeing this, Song Yuanqiao quickly took over the conversation, asking, “So, you’re certain you’ll be moved back this time?”

He didn’t want his younger brother to feel slighted about Qin Han not accepting the cigarette and possibly say something out of place.

“Yeah, I’ve been moved back,” Yu Wei’s uncle said, smiling and nodding.

“That’s great news!” Song Yuanqiao exclaimed with a smile!

“It is good news, but there seems to be some negotiation regarding the position.

Anyway, the details are too complicated to discuss now.

It’s rare for us to meet, so we should really enjoy a few drinks today.

Big brother, it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other!” Yu Wei’s uncle said with a laugh.

Song Yuanqiao was pleased to hear this, partly because his younger brother was moving back, which would help the Song family in the future, and partly because the two brothers wouldn’t have to be apart anymore.

“Exactly, we must have a few good drinks today!” Song Yuanqiao said joyfully.

He felt an indescribable emotion; his son-in-law was back on the right track, and now his younger brother had returned to Zhongzhou—the rise of the Song family was just around the corner!

“Yu Wei, I heard you started a company, how is it going?” Yu Wei’s uncle asked, looking at Song Yuwei.

“It’s okay, manageable,” Song Yuwei said with a smile!

More than manageable—the company was doing extremely well, but Song Yuwei had always been modest, and to speak plainly might seem like bragging.

In that regard, Song Yuwei was similar to her father; Song Yuanqiao was also not one to seek attention, always behaving modestly in his deeds.

“Yu Zhe, have you recently taken over the company?” Song Yuanqiao turned to Song Yuzhe and asked.

Song Yuzhe smiled and replied, “Yes, uncle, I just took over and am still getting the hang of it!”

“Well, take your time.

Your father has put half a lifetime of effort into this company.

You should learn from him and avoid disappointing your father!” Yu Wei’s uncle said with a smile.

Song Yuzhe nodded, looking earnest, and responded, “Uncle, I will remember that.

The company was well managed by my father and Yu Wei before I took over, and I haven’t made any big mistakes.

If there’s a problem I can’t solve, I still turn to them for advice!”

“That’s good.

Your father isn’t very ambitious; after all these years, he’s still the same.

But you and Yu Wei are very driven, which is great.

If this position is finally secured, it will certainly help your company,” Yu Wei’s uncle said with a laugh!

Since they were all family, there was no need for secrecy.

Of course, the position wasn’t guaranteed yet, as there were many complexities involved.

It might be of the same rank, but the actual power could be day and night.

A high position doesn’t always mean prominence; oftentimes, it depends on what you oversee.

Of course, at the mention of this, Song Yuwei’s parents couldn’t help but feel a bit awkward.

Song Yuwei just smiled faintly without saying a word, certainly not about asking her uncle for future favors.

Too insincere!

And it sounded like a deliberate insult, as only someone in Ming Xizhi’s position could discuss this matter, and Song Yuwei’s uncle?

He was merely a director at best.

Qin Han, however, didn’t say a word, obviously Song Yuanqiao hadn’t told him about the changes at home.

Otherwise, the man would not have spoken as he did.

“Enough, let’s just chat about family matters.

Always preaching, disapproving this and that.

Big brother has had some good years; why meddle so much?” Song Yuwei’s aunt said irritably!

“I didn’t say the elder brother is living a bad life, I meant that he lacks a bit of drive,” Song Yuwei’s second uncle said with a hint of irritation!

Then he turned his gaze to Qin Han, but his tone was less courteous than it had been towards Song Yuwei and the others, “Qin Han, what have you been busy with recently?”

After all, over the years, when he contacted the elder brother, he had complained more than once that Qin Han was not competent enough, lamenting how the family ended up with such a son-in-law.

“Qin Han is doing quite well now; he has opened a clinic, and the business is booming,” Song Yuanqiao quickly interjected, fearing that the condescending attitude of the second uncle would provoke Qin Han’s displeasure.

“Big brother, I am talking to the kids, why do you keep interrupting?” Song Yuwei’s second uncle obviously did not appreciate the interruption.

“Young people should know their place and not be arrogant.

Learn more, see more, understand?” Song Yuwei’s second uncle addressed Qin Han.

“Mm!” Qin Han nodded, speaking faintly.

At least this man didn’t start off by saying he wasn’t worthy of his niece and to get lost; Qin Han actually felt quite content.

Although the uncle liked to preach, he always did so with a semblance of being an elder.

He was much better than the relatives on Song Yuwei’s mother’s side.

Song Yuwei’s second uncle thought that Qin Han hadn’t really taken his words to heart and continued, “Don’t just nod; remember this.

With the family’s support, it won’t be too hard for you to start your own business in the future.

If you need my help, just call me, got it?

Don’t resolve everything with violence, that’s a fool’s method!”

“Okay, thank you, Uncle!” Qin Han said with a smile.

Seeing this, Song Yuwei’s second uncle nodded with satisfaction.

Song Yuwei watched Qin Han from the side, her heart warmed.

She knew that Qin Han was giving her uncle face entirely for her sake; had it been someone else speaking in such a manner, Qin Han would likely have lost his temper.

She knew well that even Ming Xizhi wouldn’t dare to talk like this in front of Qin Han.

Ming Xizhi was always extremely cautious when speaking with Qin Han, fearing he would cause trouble!

Thinking of this, Song Yuwei couldn’t help but smile.

Was her man really as difficult to get along with as Ming Xizhi said?

“I’ll go hurry up the food, why isn’t it ready yet?” Song Yuwei said as she stood up, smiling!

Just as she got up, the waiter pushed open the door of the private room, bowed respectfully, and asked, “Good evening, would you like to start your meal now?”

“Yes, please serve the food,” Song Yuwei nodded.

The table was quickly filled with dishes, accompanied by two bottles of white liquor and one bottle of red wine set in place.

Song Yuwei’s second uncle nodded and smiled, “You’re too generous, dear.

Your company just started, and you need money for many things.

We are all family here; there’s really no need for such extravagance.

One of these days, Uncle will treat you.”

“Men drink the white, women the red,” Song Yuwei’s second uncle began to dictate.

Song Yuwei glanced at Qin Han, her eyes conveying a tender plea.

Knowing that Qin Han had never drunk a drop of alcohol in several gatherings, today she hoped he would make an exception for her sake.

After all, her second uncle had always treated her well since she was young.

Even though Lu Huixi disliked Song Yuwei immensely, her uncle still regarded Song Yuwei as part of the Song family.

It could be said that her second uncle played a role in not forcing Song Yuwei out of the Song family over the years.

Qin Han smiled, nodded, opened the bottles, filled a cup each for Song Yuanqiao and his second uncle, then poured one for himself.

Just as everyone was about to raise their glasses, Song Yuwei’s second uncle’s phone rang.

Checking the caller, a look of excitement appeared in his eyes.

“I’ll take this call first.”
