I will die early and cannon fodder. I will enjoy great blessings after marrying a sick man.

Everyone started eating, but the atmosphere was no longer as relaxed and cheerful as it was at the beginning.

Ye Huaisheng looked at Song Manman, raised his eyebrows, took a sip of tea, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

Shen Yanqing lowered his head, his eyebrows moved slightly, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and said: "Manman and I just hope that the children can be happy, live the life they want, and be with the people they love."

"Yan Qing, have you ever thought about the fact that in our position, whose children can live the life they want and marry the person they like? These are just luxuries."

After Ye Huaisheng finished speaking, Song Manman subconsciously looked at Sheng Jingmiao.

Sheng Jingmiao's face was pale and bloodless.

Ye Zhengche's eyes were also filled with lingering gloom.

Shen Yanqing was controlled by Ye Huaisheng's words for three seconds. After reacting, he chuckled and said, "If my children don't have the opportunity to choose their own lives, don't have the opportunity to choose their own lovers, then what are I working hard for now? Am I harming them?"

"Why do we move up step by step? It is for a better tomorrow and a better future. If my descendants are bound by this position in the future, then I would rather choose not to take this position now."

After Shen Yanqing finished speaking, the air was quiet for a long time.

Until there was a "tick-tock" sound, and Sheng Jingmiao's tears rolled down from her eyes.

Song Manman, who was sitting next to her, felt her sadness and immediately looked at her.

Inadvertently meeting Song Manman's eyes, Sheng Jingmiao quickly wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

Song Manman turned her head and pretended not to see Sheng Jingmiao's embarrassment, leaving her with the last bit of decency and dignity.

After a hasty meal, Shen Yanqing rushed to pay the bill before Ye Huaisheng.

"I've paid, and it's getting late, so let's go home first."

After saying that, Shen Yanqing picked up the sleepy Xiaojuzi with one hand, carried the already asleep Shen Zhen with the other hand and walked out.

Song Manman nodded at Sheng Jingmiao, and followed Shen Yanqing holding the hand of her eldest son Shen Yan, who was still relatively sober.

After Shen Yanqing, Song Manman and their family of five left, Ye Huaisheng sat in his original seat, thinking about Shen Yanqing's words, looking at Sheng Jingmiao and Ye Zhengche for a long time, unable to come back to his senses.

After talking with Shen Yanqing, he found that he might have forgotten his original intention.

After Shen Yanqing and Song Manman got in the car, they couldn't help but talk about Ye Huaisheng, Sheng Jingmiao and Ye Zhengche.

"It seems that the Ye family still hasn't given up the idea of ​​forming an alliance with us."

Shen Yanqing's eyes darkened and he said, "It doesn't matter. Don't bother with them. Unless Xiaojuzi likes that boy, it's absolutely impossible."

Although he said this now, if his daughter really fell in love with Ye Zhengche, he would definitely take his daughter to have her brain checked.

Not to mention the mess in the Ye family, he doesn't even like Ye Zhengche very much.

Although she looks okay, she is not a good match for his daughter.

If his daughter, Shen Yanqing, wants to get married, she must marry a very good man. Otherwise, she can just not get married at all. It doesn't matter if he supports her for the rest of her life. He doesn't need that little money anyway.

Even if he is old, I am not afraid

Not to mention anything else, just the gold, silver and jewelry he bought for his daughter and Xiaojuzi's current savings are enough to last for a long time, not to mention the red envelopes and New Year's money that Xiaojuzi receives every year.

"I don't care about other families, but our family will never arrange a marriage without considering the wishes of our children."

Glancing at Shen Yanqing who was driving in front, Song Manman once again expressed her attitude firmly.

Shen Yanqing gave a helpless smile and said, "My dear, am I the kind of person who would trade my child's happiness for benefits?"

Hearing Shen Yanqing's words, Song Manman hurriedly coaxed: "You are definitely not, but I am just expressing my own opinion!"

"I can still tell which is more important: the benefits and influences that a good relationship or marriage can bring, or the benefits and influences that a bad marriage with interests involved can bring."

"But the best case scenario is that they can fall in love with someone on the same level as themselves. If they fall in love with someone whose living environment and conditions are very different from theirs, there is a high probability that there will be differences in their future lives."

Hearing what Song Manman said, Shen Yanqing's eyes were full of admiration.

"Our good boy sees things very clearly, much better than those old stubborn people."

After saying that, Shen Yanqing looked at Song Manman with eyes as sharp as torches, which were like a shooting star passing by, brilliant and gorgeous, beautiful but short-lived.

Song Manman's cheeks flushed as he stared at her. Thinking of Sheng Jingmiao's expression just now, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and asked, "What about Sheng Jingmiao and Ye Huaisheng..."

After listening to Song Manman's introduction, Shen Yanqing instantly understood what she wanted to ask.

"The Ye family is declining, and Mr. Ye can't help but blame Ye Huaisheng for not marrying into a family that is equally matched and helpful to the Ye family."

After hearing Shen Yanqing's words, Song Manman immediately understood.

No matter how good the relationship is, it cannot withstand the thorns in life.

When there is a thorn, it won't be so painful if two people pull it out, and it may pass if you just bear with it.

When there are two thorns, the two people may grimace after pulling them out, but they can still get through it by gritting their teeth.

But if there are too many thorns, and they are pulled out one by one, or if there are too many thorns, until they are all pulled out, then the two people will naturally feel more and more pain...

Ye Huaisheng and Sheng Jingmiao are the type of people who have more and more thorns. These thorns pierce into their hearts, and over time, a crack appears between them.

At the beginning, the Ye family was still relatively stable, so when Ye Huaisheng insisted on marrying Sheng Jingmiao, although Old Master Ye was not happy, he finally compromised for the sake of his great-grandson Ye Zhengche. Only some relatives from the Ye family's side branches refused to give in, but Ye Huaisheng just listened and let it go.

After all, Ye Huaisheng doesn't live with those side branches and seldom see each other often.

But as the Ye family gradually declined, Sheng Jingmiao's family background was of no help and even hindered them, so Grandpa Ye became increasingly dissatisfied.

Ye Huaisheng doesn't care about the side branch, but as Old Man Ye is his biological grandfather and the person in charge of the Ye family, it is impossible for Ye Huaisheng not to care.

"The Ye family wants..."

"The Ye family was brought to power by Old Master Ye, but unfortunately none of his children are up to par. Old Master Ye is getting old, and Ye Huaisheng is still young and feeble. The pillar of the Ye family has been broken, and the family will naturally go downhill." After saying this, Shen Yanqing sighed deeply.
