As Song Haiping looked at Yung Heng in shock, Song Yuan subconsciously asked, "Dad, do you know Mr. Xie?"
She didn't ask Yung Heng because she learned from him that he was injured and had amnesia a few days ago. He didn't even remember his family, so how could he remember anyone else?
If her father knew Rong Heng, then she wouldn't find it strange.
Her father had been in business for more than 20 years. He had a wide network of contacts and knew a lot of people.
Yung Heng was very cultured. Even though Song Haiping looked at him like this, he still smiled and asked politely, "Uncle, I'm sorry. I was sick some time ago and can't remember a lot of things. Do you know me?"
Of course Song Haiping knew him! However, he knew Xie Heng. This young master of the Xie family definitely didn't know him.
Originally, Song Haiping wanted to mention that the Xie family's driver almost hit Rong Ting on the streets of Beijing. However, he suddenly remembered that his daughter was still beside him. He quickly swallowed his words.
No matter what, he couldn't let his daughter know about this. Song Haiping said with a serious face, "President Xie, I saw you once a few years ago when I attended a dinner party with a friend."
It was really a coincidence. He was just about to ask someone to find out where this young master was in the city, but he didn't have any clues. Now, he appeared in front of him.
However, Song Haiping didn't have any intention of making friends with him at all.
He looked at Yung Heng and then looked at Song Yuan. His face suddenly became serious.
Yung Heng smiled. "I see. Uncle, you don't have to be so polite to me. Miss Song and I are friends. You're an elder."
When Song Haiping heard him call his daughter "Miss Song," his eyes flashed. He smiled and said, "How can that be?"
Seeing that they were chatting awkwardly, Song Yuan hurriedly said, "Dad, don't you have a flight to catch? Hurry up. If you're late, you'll have to change your flight. It's very troublesome. Mr. Xie, let's go. I'll send you back."
As soon as she said this, Song Haiping said, "I just received notice that there's no rush. It's the same if we leave tomorrow. It's really late now. President Xie, let me send you back. You don't know, but Yuanyuan still has to go back to take care of the child. It's not safe for the child to be alone at home. "
Yung Heng was very considerate. He didn't seem to understand the hint in Song Haiping's words. His gentle eyes were still smiling. "Uncle, there's no need. The hotel I'm staying at is nearby. I can take a walk to digest my food. You can go back with Miss Song first. It's indeed not safe to leave the child alone at home. "
Song Haiping was stunned.
She did not expect Xie Heng to know that Yuanyuan already had a child.
What was going on?
However, Song Haiping did not agree. She called her chauffeur over and said to Yung Heng, "President Xie, it's cold outside now. You said that you were sick a while ago, so you should take care of your body. Logically speaking, you're Yuanyuan's friend, so we should invite you to our house for a meal. However, the child's father hasn't come yet, and he's very clingy with Yuanyuan, so we won't keep you. But you can't be polite with us. Let the chauffeur send you back. You can't treat us like outsiders. "
"Alright then. Sorry to trouble your chauffeur." It was difficult to refuse such kindness. Yung Heng's tone was gentle and polite.
After watching Yung Heng get into the car and leave, Song Haiping looked at Song Yuan, who was clearly confused and did not know what had happened. She sighed deeply.
Song Yuan was still very puzzled. "Didn't you say you were rushing to catch a flight? Why aren't you going to the airport again? "
Song Haiping took the foam box from her hand. He did not know if he was lamenting or something else. In short, he was very depressed. "Why can't you use your intelligence on serious matters? Your mother and I are not stupid. Why aren't you smart at all? Could it be that you carried the wrong child? "
Song Yuan was speechless.
The father and daughter got into the car. Song Haiping had silently postponed the date of his business trip.
Of course, business was important, but it was not as important as his daughter.
Originally, he should have avoided Rong Ting for what he was going to tell his daughter, but he was really worried about his child being alone at home so late at night. Even though Rong Ting was far more sensible than other children his age, he could not let his guard down.
As soon as they entered the house, Rong Ting stood at the entrance. He heard the sound of the door opening. When he saw Song Haiping, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he grinned. "Grandfather, why are you here?"
"Someone gave me a box of Dandong strawberries. I thought that you liked them, so I brought them over." Song Haiping was very happy to see Rong Ting. Probably because it was his grandson, the more he looked at him, the more he liked him. He found a pair of scissors and opened the foam box. He said to Rong Ting, "Do your own things. Go and wash the strawberries. Wash more. Remember to wash them clean. Your mother likes them too. Grandpa and your mother have some work matters to discuss."
Actually, there was no need to specifically remind him.
Rong Ting had been taught to be a gentleman since he was young. He did not need anyone to tell him, and he would not deliberately eavesdrop on adults.
"Okay."
It had been a few months since he came to the modern world. Rong Ting was becoming more and more integrated into this new era. In the beginning, he did not know how to do anything. Deep down, he rejected doing anything. Now, he could wash his own fruits and even his own underwear and socks. Although his progress was slow, it was not zero.
Rong Ting happily took some strawberries to the kitchen.
Song Haiping then looked at Song Yuan. The smile on his face disappeared. "Yuanyuan, come to the study. Dad has something to tell you."
Song Yuan vaguely knew what Song Haiping wanted to say to him. Although he felt very helpless, he still followed his old father into the study and closed the door behind him.
"Do you know who President Xie is?" Song Haiping opened the moment he sat down.
Song Yuan stood in front of the desk. His expression was very calm. "I don't know. We just met not long ago."
"Then I'll tell you." Song Haiping could not make up his mind. When he was anxious, he would subconsciously knock on the table. "You don't know much about the business world. As long as you have something to do with the business in Beijing, everyone knows about the Xie family from Beijing. The Xie family did not become rich in the past few decades. They can be considered an aristocratic family. There are many rich people in Beijing, but there are not many who can be called wealthy families. It's not enough just to be rich."
"Old Master Xie has two sons. One of them died in an accident when he was young, so the Xie family basically belongs to his other son. This son is called Xie Yanjun. If you pay attention to the economy, you should know him. Xie Yanjun's wife is the daughter of the Lu family. The Lu family is also a reputable family in Beijing. These two families are strong and powerful, and wealthy families pay attention to this. This couple has a son, which is your friend, Xie Heng, whom you haven't known for long."
"In Beijing's business world, everyone calls Xie Heng the Crown Prince. There is no other reason. Xie Yanjun also has an illegitimate son outside, but Xie Heng has the support of the Lu family and Old Master Xie. He is the next head of the family. Some time ago, something happened to Xie Heng. Everyone knows that it must have something to do with Xie Yanjun's illegitimate son. Although that illegitimate son might have been used by someone, it was his fault for having thoughts that he shouldn't have. That Mrs. Xie is really ruthless. I heard that she almost killed that illegitimate son of hers.
Song Haiping sighed. "I'm telling you all this because I want to tell you that Xie Heng's background is not ordinary. They say that misfortune is a blessing in disguise. This saying is true. Although he almost died, Old Master Xie and Mrs. Xie fought because of it. His half-brother basically has no chance of seizing power. As the Crown Prince, he has nothing to worry about. Think about it. Such a family is very complicated. Yuanyuan, no matter what Xie Heng is like, he has such a family background. Ordinary people can't afford to offend him. "
Song Yuan didn't expect that the handsome white-haired man who often took the bus with her would have such a background.
For a moment, she was stunned and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. She mumbled and didn't know what to say.
Song Haiping saw her expression and continued to say earnestly, "Yuanyuan, the reason why Dad and Mom work hard to earn money is, on the one hand, we are indeed ambitious, but on the other hand, we want to create the best environment for you so that you can have a worry-free future and freely choose the life you want to live. Do you still remember what I said to you before your college entrance examination? My thoughts haven't changed. I only want my child to be healthy and happy. It's the same now. Marrying into a rich family sounds pretty good. After all, this way, you'll be able to leap over the social class. I don't know how many people dream of it, but it's too tough and too torturous. It's not a place where you can stay.
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Song Yuan was helpless. "You've really misunderstood. We're just ordinary friends. We haven't known each other for long."
She felt that her father had his own filter. He thought that she was the cutest person in the world and that she was a heartthrob. As long as the opposite sex knew her, they would have that kind of interest in her. Just as he had said, this Crown Prince Xie was really a rich second-generation heir. Would he take a fancy to an unmarried mother with a child like her? What kind of fairy and beauty had he not seen before? Was it necessary for him to use such methods to woo her?
"Haha." Song Haiping laughed. When the middle-aged man heard such childish and ridiculous words, his first reaction was not to mock, but to laugh.
"Dad –"
Song Haiping waved his hand, "Alright, I'll treat you two as ordinary friends, but I still have to say this first. I don't care if you make friends, but you can't turn him from an ordinary friend into a boyfriend. I'll be direct. None of these rich second-generation heirs are good."
He had seen too many of them.
He was also a man. Not to mention other things, his eyesight was very sharp. When a man liked a person, he was not so old that he could not tell what kind of look he had in his eyes.
For someone like Xie Heng, if one were to be serious, it would be impossible for him and Yuanyuan to have any interaction unless one of them deliberately did it! The two of them did not have any overlap in their social circles. Even if they met, it was impossible for them to become ordinary friends!
That Xie Heng just hid it very well, but as long as he thought about his family background, he would know that something was wrong. When he recalled the way he looked at Yuanyuan, Song Haiping wanted to laugh again.
Ordinary friends … He could only fool a little girl like Yuanyuan. Why was he pretending in front of him? He hadn't recovered from his illness and he wanted to woo a girl. He deserved to be cheated by an illegitimate child and almost lost his life. Bah!
