Chapter 347: 347: Commercial Management Celebration Banquet (3) Song Zhidao’s Marriage Fate?! (Second Update)

Translator: 549690339

All eyes were on the fifth daughter of the official family.

No matter how you put it, Jun Minghan and Jun Mingyu have appeared on television screens more or less due to some major events alongside their father. However, the fifth daughter of the official family has never shown up in front of everyone before, so her appearance at the Commercial Management’s celebration banquet does not seem like an ordinary event.

Song Zhizhi glanced casually at Jun Mingxi and watched her shy smile.

At that moment, she glanced at Ye Wenhan next to her and saw his smile, which seemed overly smug.

So she thought.

Jun Minghan brought Jun Mingxi here because of… Ye Wenhan.

She pursed her lips.

Jun Minghan conspiring with Ye Wenhan and Qian Guanshu to give his sister in marriage to Ye Wenhan was not forgivable.

Her eyes flickered slightly.

At that moment, she saw Ye Wenhan’s eyes look at her.

It was that kind off nose-in-the-air kind of smile.

Now that he’s able to win over the fifth daughter of the official family, Ye Wenhan must be feeling cool for quite a while.

Song Zhizhi shifted her gaze.

She watched Jun Mingyu as he began to speak, “My younger sister is still young and rarely attends such banquets. The reason I brought her today is twofold. One is to let her broaden her horizons. The other reason is…”

Jun Minghan’s gaze fell on Ye Wenhan.

Ye Wenhan looked very steady, not expressing his excitement. It seemed that he had been well-trained by Qian Guanshu this year.

But at that moment, Jun Minghan suddenly shifted his gaze to Song Zhidao saying, “The other reason is to introduce my younger sister to Young Master Song Zhidao.”

As soon as he finished his sentence.

The whole room erupted in whispers.

Everyone would think that Jun Minghan was planning to introduce his sister to Ye Wenhan.

With such a grand display, there could be no one else but Ye Wenhan.

But at that moment…

Not only others found it unbelievable, Song Zhizhi was also caught off guard.

She watched as her brother, Song Zhidao, looked at Jun Mingxi.

Jun Mingxi gave a slight smile to Song Zhidao.

Ye Wenhan was stunned. He couldn’t believe what he had just heard, nor could he believe the interaction between Jun Mingxi and Song Zhidao that was happening right before his eyes!

How could it be possible?!

How is it possible that it was Song Zhidao and not him?

His suppressed emotions were steadily bubbling up.

Song Zhizhi noticed it.

She noticed his apparently uncontrollable emotions.

So it seems that after a year, Ye Wenhan’s martial arts skills were merely average.

Qian Guanshu obviously noticed his son’s mood and his forearm gently nudged Ye Wenhan.

It was at that moment that Ye Wenhan snapped back to reality, forcibly suppressing his rage, trying hard to maintain his modest and cultured demeanor.

Song Zhizhi found it extremely satisfying and refreshing from the bottom of her heart.

She could fully imagine how pissed off Ye Wenhan must feel at this moment, but she still had to swallow his pride again.

A slight smile appeared on her lips.

Ye Wenhan saw the smile.

His fists clenched involuntarily, he wished he could kill Song Zhizhi at that very moment!

How come it was always Song Zhizhi who had the upper hand!

If Jun Mingxi ended up marrying Song Zhidao, wouldn’t that make Song Zhizhi even more powerful?!

He suppressed his frustration with great difficulty.

“Song Zhidao,” Called Jun Minghan.

Song Zhidao responded with utmost respect. “Mr. Jun.”

“It’s my sister’s first time attending this kind of event, so I hope you can take good care of her. You two are of the same age and you may share more common topics,” said Jun Minghan.

“Rest assured, Mr. Jun.”

Jun Minghan nodded, “Mingxi, let Zhidao take you for a tour around the hall.”

Jun Mingxi blushed and nodded her head.

Song Zhidao very politely invited Jun Mingxi.

The two of them left under the gaze of everyone.

Song Zhizhi withdrew her gaze, she turned her head and saw Jun Mingyu’s deep and profound smile.

Jun Minghan said, “Today is the celebration banquet of the Commercial Management, you don’t have to be too formal around me, I’ll just wander around.”

With that said, Jun Minghan wandered off to one side.

The others also left as if nothing had happened.

Chu Zhaotian and Qin Wenguo were standing not too far away. Such an important person was here, and they didn’t even get a chance to show their faces. They couldn’t help but feel a bit irritated.

“Song Shan takes all the glory,” Chu Zhaotian said sarcastically. “Now he’s even more proud. The fifth Miss of the official family was introduced to Song Shan’s son. He will be unstoppable in the future!”

Qin Wenguo was not in a good mood either, but he had no choice but to pretend to be okay and say, “Song Zhidao is an outstanding young man and is certain to achieve greatness. The official family introducing their daughter to him also sees Song Zhidao’s ability. Don’t be sour.”

“Oh, you’re really quick to change sides!” Chu Zhaotian laughed coldly. “Just a while ago you were fighting Song Shan to the death, but now that he’s successful, you immediately change face. I must say, I admire your speed, but I’m fine with it, after all, I don’t have a son, and I’m not jealous. But what about you? Your son has been following your footsteps in the Commercial Management for years, but he’s not this lucky.”

“Stop provoking here, I know what you’re thinking.” Qin Wenguo looked a bit upset. “No one knows where the wind blows in the future, I suggest you not act too aggressively.”

“What do you mean by that?” Chu Zhaotian’s face darkened.

“You can figure it out.” Qin Wenguo dropped a line, “Jingxiang, Jinwen, come with me.”

Qin Jingxiang and Qin Wenguo’s son, Qin Jinwen followed their father to the side.

Qin Wenguo looked unhappy, “That Chu Zhaotian, when he can’t eat grapes, he says the grapes are sour, he’s just trying to upset me.”

“Dad, don’t be mad.” Qin Jingxiang called out to him, “Chu Zhaotian is just trying to pull someone down with him because of his jealousy.”

“I’m indeed irritated. Look at Song Shan now, look at how pleased he is.” Qin Wenguo looked in Song Shan’s direction.

Qin Jingxiang and Qin Jinwen looked over.

At the moment, Song Shan was surrounded by many people.

Everyone here is a sharp and astute person, adept at sailing with the wind.

If Song Shan’s son really has a relationship with the fifth Miss of the official family, then Song Shan’s status will be completely different!

I’m afraid that even the head of Commercial Management would have to give him some face in the future.

The more Qin Wenguo saw, the angrier he became.

Qin Jingxiang said, “Dad, do you think the Ye Family can tolerate Song Shan with such a high position and status?”

Qin Wenguo paused.

He looked at his daughter.

With a smile on her lips, Qin Jingxiang said: “So, at this time, we must not be talebearing. It’s enough to sit on the fence and watch the show.”

Qin Wenguo nodded, the hardness in his eyes evident!

He wanted to see how capable Song Shan really was!

The banquet hall was enormous.

The banquet was very lively as many important figures were present.

Song Zhizhi walked towards the back garden.

Obviously Jun Mingyu was waiting for her in the back garden.

“Mr. Jun.” Song Zhizhi took the initiative to speak.

Jun Mingyu smiled at her, “How is Ji Baijian doing health-wise?”

Song Zhizhi smiled without speaking.

She had always felt that Jun Mingyu might know a lot.

Thus there was no point in showing off her cunning in front of him.

“By the way, I called you here just to thank you.” Jun Mingyu was forthright.

“Huh?”

“I’ve never had such a great time watching my elder brother embarrass himself before. Do you know how refreshing that is?” Jun Mingyu’s smile was dazzling.

Was he so childish?

He needed to say thanks and share his joy with others.

Song Zhizhi had no interest in whether Jun Minghan was embarrassed or not; what she cared about was, “What is your intention for introducing the fifth Miss to my brother?”

The smile on Jun Mingyu’s lips faltered for a moment.

This woman seemed to be able to catch the crux of the matter at any time, absolutely clear-cut.

“What do you think?”

“Surely you’re not trying to win over our Song Family, are you?! Logically, Ye Wenhan should be the most coveted by the official family.”

“So I’m also in a state of great confusion; I just found out like you that my sister Mingxi was introduced to your brother and not Ye Wenhan. However, despite growing up with my elder brother and my father, I honestly have no idea of their intentions or schemes, and given their profound wisdom, I dare not speculate.”

“Is Mr. Jun reluctant to tell me, or simply unwilling to?” Song Zhizhi raised her eyebrows.

She maintained her respect and courtesy, but there was a tinge of aggressiveness in her tone.

Jun Mingyu indeed admired this woman for always having a fine sense of measure in everything she did.

He said, “I just don’t want to mislead Miss Song.”

Song Zhizhi realized there was no way to get an answer.

Indeed, she had been slightly excited just now, but having calmed down, she clearly realized this matter was not as simple as it appeared. The fact that the official family chose the Song Family over Ye Wenhan was truly suspicious.

“Anyway, the main purpose of my visit tonight was to express my gratitude to Miss Song. It’s getting late; I’ll go in first.” Jun Mingyu seemed unwilling to stay any longer with Song Zhizhi.

Too many cooks spoil the broth, after all.

No one knew how their brief meeting would be interpreted in the end.

As Jun Mingyu got up to leave, he turned back after a few steps, “Miss Song, I wonder if you have delivered my message to your husband on my behalf?”

Song Zhizhi, of course, knew what he was referring to – the matter of winning over Ji Baijian.

She pressed her lips together, “Although Ji Baijian and I have a good relationship, there are some things I can’t decide for him, or influence his thoughts. If Mr. Jun is sincere, you might as well meet Ji Baijian directly; I believe he will give you a very clear answer.”

“Understood.” Jun Mingyu gave a slight smile.

Leaving her unable to see through his emotions, he left confidently.

As Song Zhizhi watched his retreating figure, she lingered for a moment before preparing to go in herself.

Just as she was about to enter the main hall, she ran into Ye Wenhan.

The two faced each other.

Ye Wenhan said, “Song Zhizhi, you really are a survivor.”

His voice was low, filled with gritted teeth.

Song Zhizhi laughed, “I thank you for your kind words, Mr. Ye. I also consider myself fortunate.”

Ye Wenhan’s face turned even darker.

Intentionally, Song Zhizhi added, “Mr. Ye, you’re not getting any younger. Don’t let your career delay your personal matters. In the underworld, your father, Ye Taiting, may not rest in peace if things continue like this.”

“Song Zhizhi!” Ye Wenhan’s face was exceedingly cold.

At that moment, he knew that Song Zhizhi was mocking him.

Mocking him for not being able to be with the fifth Miss of the official family.

Song Zhizhi completely ignored Ye Wenhan’s mood, she walked past him with her head held high.

Ye Wenhan’s hand clenched into a tight fist.

With a stern look on his face, he walked towards the back corridor of the Commercial Management banquet hall. Following the corridor were rows of special private rooms, all heavily guarded.

Ye Wenhan walked straight over.

He stopped at the door.

From outside the door, he could hear his father’s loud voice: “Mr. Jun, what on earth do you mean? You originally agreed to let the fifth Miss be with Wenhan, but now you pair her with Song Zhidao. Don’t you think you’ve overstepped the mark?”

“Chief Qian, I can understand your anger. Our cooperation was indeed based on mutual benefit. I genuinely wanted my sister to be happily married to Ye Wenhan. However, I was greatly disappointed by your recent actions! Song Zhizhi was able to return to Jin City safely under your watch, and you kept deceiving me, causing me to lose face in front of my father, and even suffer humiliation in front of Jun Mingyu. How do you expect me to trust you and believe that you have the power to help me!”

“So you are going to leave me high and dry? Don’t forget, you walked all the way to where you are today with a lot of my help!”

“I remember it very clearly, that’s why I didn’t pursue this matter.” Jun Minghan said coldly.

Qian Guanshu stared coldly at Jun Minghan.

Then Jun Minghan continued: “To tell you the truth, giving my sister to Song Zhidao wasn’t my decision but my father’s. He saw the potential in Song Shan and thought that his family had a bright future in dealing with the incident involving Song Zhizhi. So he wanted to use my sister to draw closer to the Song Family. As for my father’s actions, I believe you, Mr. Qian, with your cleverness and wisdom, should be able to guess why he did it, right?!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
